At night, the Carl Vinson was controlled by the lights, and only a dim light could be seen in the deep twilight.

Under the heavy flight deck, in the beautifully decorated and elegant captain's office, the dim lighting was still soft, and Vice Admiral Mark Mitchell, with gray temples and a straight uniform, stood in front of the huge nautical chart on the wall with his hands in his hand, holding his heather pipe that he had not left for many years.

Wisps of green smoke rose and curled, and a faint spicy smell diffused in the office space.

While waiting for the ace major and partner of the 11th Squadron, the general's mind was still wandering, or rather, wondering what was wrong with the idea he had already made.

After serving in the U.S. Navy for more than 20 years, and now at the age of 50, Mark Mitchell naturally has his own perspective on this unprecedented world war; As a vice admiral in charge of an aircraft carrier battle group, he still adheres to the principles he has always believed in in the face of the growing threat from the north:

Decisive action, not rhetoric, is the only way to solve the problem.

Ever since he received an order from the Central Command for inter-service coordination, and learned that he was going to take the time to entertain his colleagues from afar and hold a joint meeting with the Air Force Command and the Combat Staff to discuss the war situation, Mitchell thought the right time had come; As for whether he can seize this opportunity, it depends on whether his young men are the real elite of the army, or whether they will do their best to complete the task.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, Major Sean and the others have arrived!"

The loud voice of the guard sounded outside the door, interrupting the general's train of thought; Suddenly turning back and walking towards the desk, standing firm behind the wide solid wood countertop, Mitchell's tone became sophisticated and stern:

"Excellent! - Invite them in. ”

……

After a calm night, the next morning, a joint operations meeting of the Navy and Air Force presided over by the chief of staff of the US Air Force was held in a low-key manner in the command room of the "Carl Vinson."

As the backbone of the U.S. Navy, the aircraft carrier battle group with the USS Carl Vinson as its flagship has temporarily encountered an adversary in the Mediterranean, and this operational command room, which had been idle, has also been utilized. Shortly after breakfast, Navy officers in white uniforms walked into the command room, shook hands with their colleagues who had arrived by helicopter and were plenipotentiaries at the top of the Air Force, and then invited the guests, dressed in dark blue uniforms, to sit down at the conference table and wait for the moderator to speak.

As the two pillars of the United States' military prowess throughout the world, the navy and the air force, two armed forces that appear to be in harmony and compete with each other, have taken great pains to sit together and convene a joint meeting. What they are discussing this time is not a big issue such as strategic intent, but simply to address the threat of one person:

Viktor Rezenov, the Soviet Air Force pilot who gave the U.S. Air Force and the Navy a big headache, was already a big problem, and recently became a terrible nightmare in the hearts of Americans.

Under the high-intensity blows of Long Yun's continuous attacks, it suffered a series of air losses, and the 30th Air Wing of the United States, which was originally active in the southeast of the Black Sea, has become a frightened bird; The pilots who survived the attack of the Russians not only deliberately avoided the frontal challenge of the Su-27 in air combat, but even began to flee as soon as they found the characteristic signal of the N001 radar on the Su-27.

After terrible and continuous war losses, NATO's Central Command and the U.S. military now see Viktor Rezenov as the number one threat in the Caucasus theater, or a serious threat that must be eliminated quickly.

In the face of such a grim air shape, the previous ban on war may not be enough.

The secret orders issued by the headquarters and the behavior of fleeing from the enemy originally made many people despised, especially those pilots who had the results of the battle in hand and even reached the ace level, their choice was often to bravely face the challenge and attack the "flankers" flying in front of them; But if they were unlucky and came across Long Yun's Red Seventeen, then the cold coffin and shroud would be their last companion for life, and there were basically no exceptions.

After issuing a ban on war but not being able to control these hot-headed daredevils, after many such incidents, NATO's Middle East Command finally became angry, or rather, angry.

Stimulated by Long Yun's frantic attack, the NATO Central Command, which is in charge of the Middle East theater, strictly ordered the front-line troops not to take the initiative to contact the Russian offensive aircraft on the basis of the previous secret order, especially the fighter formation that could be clearly identified as a "flanker"; On the other hand, they have made every effort to draw troops from other theaters, not only a new fighter wing equipped with F-16C from Spain, but also the "Carl Vinson" active in the Mediterranean, and the fighter squadron of the CVN-74 aircraft carrier "Stennis that has just arrived in the theater" have also been integrated into the combat group to counter the Russian air offensive in the Caucasus.

That hateful Russian ace, isn't he going to fight?

Then let him see the vast military potential of the United States, and the overwhelming number of fighter planes, and let him know how powerful the air power of the superpower is, and it is by no means a trump card that can be challenged wantonly; Since the order from above is to open up a second battlefield in the air as much as possible, in this protracted large-scale aerial tug-of-war, they must not admit defeat!

As for the irritability that everyone present had, the atmosphere in the command room had become a little tense before the meeting had even begun.

After seeing that the participants had all greeted each other, the joint meeting appointed by the US Central Command to convene the chief of staff of the Air Force officially began. It is said that the commanders of the joint meeting, that is, the commanders of the Air Force and the Navy, are present, and they are ready to discuss the details of the plan for the operation against the Caucasus, to put it bluntly, how to deal with the Russian ace.

On the large screen projection, which is full of shadows, is a slightly blurred aerial image of the Caucasus.

The officers sitting around the long oval table, regardless of the color of their uniforms, looked at the map attentively, especially the Air Force officers, who had suffered a lot here for more than a month.

The screen switches, reflecting a rather blurry aerial photo: on the enlarged photo, there is an image of a fighter plane with the nose pointed forward and viewed from the rear angle, and the red No. 17 tactical number near the nose can be faintly seen, as well as the large red thin five-pointed star on the outside of the wing and the vertical tail.

This is a picture taken by the 8th Air Wing's 9221 "Eagle" during the operation on June 9. The aircraft was wounded in a later air battle, but managed to make a forced landing at a front-line airfield. ”

"So, what kind of plane is this?"

Such an amateurish question naturally drew a burst of boos from the attendees, and it was almost clear to those present that this dashing and murderous Soviet fighter was the proud work of the Sukhoi Design Bureau: the Su-27, to be precise, the standard version of the Su-27S known as "Flanker A".

"Is this the one-"

"That Red Seventeen? The Grim Reaper of the Caucasus? ”

"-Yes." Probably thinking of how difficult that guy was, the host's voice became a little muffled, "The 'Flanker' in front of me shot down three F-15s of the Eighth Air Wing in this air battle, and also damaged the one that took pictures, and now No. 9221 is still being repaired at the rear base." That's right, this is the incredible Russian pilot, nicknamed 'Caucasus Grim Reaper' Viktor Rezenov. ”

Although it was a premonition, but after being confirmed by the host, there was still a commotion at the scene.

The uniforms of those present were always confident American soldiers, and they almost never showed any respect for their opponents, but they were struck by Victor's astonishing achievements—a shock that would inspire an unconscious sense of awe in their hearts, even if it had not yet given rise to respect.

The Russian in the photo, his record is indeed too amazing: according to the battle records compiled by the intelligence department - this third party is responsible for collecting and sorting out the records has nothing to do with the face of the navy and air force, so it should also be the most accurate, he has accumulated 39 shot down results in the two months since the start of the war; If you count the ones that are difficult to verify, I am afraid that the number will already exceed forty.

More than forty downed results, what is the concept?

From the depressed or irritable expressions of those present, it can probably be glimpsed: All the officers who have been immersed in the Air Force and Navy for many years, and who have also been promoted step by step from the grassroots level, are of course very aware of the terrible number of figures.

You must know that in World War II, the tens of thousands of pilots of the US Army Air Force and Navy Air Force, who had outstanding combat achievements, did not produce even a single ace who shot down more than 40 planes. Not only that, but considering that it was a World War II era when planes were all over the sky and countries were producing at full capacity, propeller planes were not a luxury weapon at the time, and it can be said that the Axis countries had airplanes that could set a record for the boys of the United States to shoot down.

But World War II is a long time ago, and what era is it now?

After the rapid development of aviation technology, the price of an advanced fighter plane is now often tens of millions of dollars, and even with the wealth of the United States, the total number of fighters equipped with attack planes and bombers is less than 10,000.

But this Victor, the terrible trump card of the Caucasus, in less than two months, actually knocked down more than forty fighters?

Not to mention that this is just the beginning, if it goes on like this, won't this Russian want to slaughter hundreds or thousands of the air power of the free world in this seemingly protracted war?

- W-This is terrible!
