Luzon.

Panay Island.

Ironstone Naval Base.

The mournful sound of air defense sirens roared through the base.

A large number of sailors returned to their posts from the training ground and dormitory in an orderly and rapid manner.

On the amphibious assault ship of the Greater Luzon, the No. 1 ship of the super Luzon class, the captain of the ship, who is also the commander of the task force Hu Zhengyue (January Hook), picked up the walkie-talkie:

"The head of each department reports on the arrival of personnel according to the department number."

"1 group, all members of the command group are in place......"

"2 groups, all drivers ......"

"3 groups, distribution group ......"

"4 groups, radar group ......"

Chief Officer Du Haifeng quickly recorded the situation in place in various departments on his biological tablet, and then reported to Commander Hu Zhengyue:

"Report, all 1,123 people, 1,123 people, over!"

"Check the condition of other ships."

"Roger!"

Three hours later.

The amphibious assault ship USS Grand Luzon, with a full load displacement of 55,000 tons, and the amphibious assault ship USS Negros (Luzon-class), which has also just been commissioned, plus 4 Manila-class frigates and 4 supply ships, formed the Luzon task force, and sailed towards the Strait of Malacca.

The Luzon Navy, whose combat power was constantly expanding, had been highly concerned by the satellites of America and a certain eastern power at this time.

As soon as they left their home port, the various forces with satellites in the skies over Southeast Asia soon learned that the Luzon Navy had made another sortie.

Star Island.

The Southeast Asian Black Ship has relocated its branch directly to the interior of the U.S. military's Changi base.

With the interim governor Tom on his head, he hurried to another area of the base, in the office of the head of the base, Sullivan, with a document in hand.

"The Luzon monkeys sent another small fleet? Are you sure it's not a daily patrol? Sullivan asked, putting down the papers in his hand.

Tom shook his head: "No, the target of their route is most likely the Strait of Malacca. ”

"How's your investigation of the new amphibious assault ship?"

Tom pulled out another document from his briefcase, and when he opened it, there were only a dozen thin pages on it, the first of which was a satellite image:

"I only know that the displacement is about 55,000 tons, the deck length is 220 meters, the width is 40 meters, and there is no information on other power, weapons, and carrier-based aircraft for the time being."

Sullivan looked puzzled: "Why is this shape a little weird?" Also are you sure it's 55,000 tons? Why is the deck shorter than the Wasp? ”

"I consulted with the local warship design department, and they gave two possibilities, one is to reduce the reflectivity of electromagnetic waves and achieve electromagnetic wave stealth; Another possibility is to reduce water and wind resistance, reduce fuel consumption, and improve endurance. ”

Sullivan laughed: "Hehe, a group of monkeys that have just come down from the trees, are always whimsical. ”

For Sullivan's contempt, Tom did not welcome the other party, this is the minimum basic quality as an intelligence worker, no matter who the enemy is, do not use an arrogant eye to look at it.

"The current size of the Luzon Navy has swelled several times, and I think it is necessary to pay attention to each other," he reminded. ”

Sullivan, who had read the intelligence of the Luzon Navy, also put away the arrogance just now and re-examined this former little brother.

At present, the Luzon Navy has a total of four fleets, namely the First Pacific Fleet, the Second Pacific Fleet, the Third Ceylon Ocean Fleet, and the task force that is sailing towards the Strait of Malacca at this time.

It has warships of more than 10,000 tons, namely: 1 super-Luzon-class amphibious assault ship, 6 Luzon-class amphibious assault ships, 14 Manila-class frigates, and 15 supply ships, with a total tonnage of 673,000 tons.

As for those offshore patrol ships of several thousand tons, coast guard ships of several hundred tons, and 8 old training ships, they are not counted.

And on the submarine side of the Luzon Navy, the black ships did not receive accurate information.

Besides.

Luzon also sold to the Siam Navy a Luzon-class amphibious assault ship, the USS Kra, and four Manila-class frigates.

For its part, Honsavady sold six Manila-class frigates, 12 patrol ships (3,000 tons), and a large number of coast guard ships of several hundred tons.

Obviously, Luzon's shipbuilding industry has developed somewhat unexpectedly.

In fact, the black ship did not know that at this time, there were still a large number of warships and submarines under construction in the military shipyard of the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company, and the acceleration brought by new technologies made the outside world underestimate the speed of Luzon shipbuilding.

However, even so, the scale of 673,000 tons of warships on the surface has caught many forces off guard.

The speed of expansion of the Luzon Navy, as well as the madness, evoked the memories of many people.

After all, historically, there has also been such a crazy country in the Asian region.

It is the same national fanaticism, the same island country, the same plate junction, which is entertained by typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanoes all day long, and the energy and resources are also relatively poor, with a population of about 100 million, and the same ambitions.

was also pried open by América.

Nima's?

How did Sullivan suddenly have a sense of déjà vu.

Although he hurriedly comforted himself in his heart, it was just a coincidence.

What's more, even if Luzon can really reproduce part of the miracle of the mad dog, Sullivan also thinks that the other party can't make any waves, and since America can tame the mad dog, he can also tame Luzon.

Now can not be the era before World War II.

Without a nuclear bomb, it is an ant after all, even if this ant is stronger, has it been taken seriously by Sullivan.

However, thinking of the nuclear bomb, he hurriedly asked: "Tom, have nuclear enrichment facilities been found in Luzon, Honsavady, and Siam?" ”

Tom shook his head: "No, I have asked the headquarters to use satellite monitoring, and temporarily checked the area around the hydropower station and thermal power station in their territory, and no nuclear enrichment facilities were found." ”

Then he added: "There are no uranium deposits with industrial value in these three places, no large high-speed centrifuges have been purchased, and there is not even any intention to do so, and I don't think they have the ability to develop a nuclear bomb." ”

"That's good." Sullivan's face was much more relaxed.

As long as Luzon, Hungsavwady, and Siam do not engage in nuclear bombs, everything is still under control.

Sullivan, who remembered another thing, hurriedly continued to ask: "Tom, weren't you stirring up the relationship between Luzon and the surrounding areas before?" Why is there no movement? ”

Hearing this question, Tom looked embarrassed: "Luzon and Malaysia have reached a joint development cooperation agreement in the southern seas, and the Javanese side doesn't seem to want to provoke Luzon." ”

"What about the north side?"

Tom replied with a headache: "Don't mention it, Luzon seems to have lost interest in the development of that part of the sea off Palawan. ”

Sullivan looked puzzled: "Aren't they short of oil and gas?" Why give up that subsea oil and gas field? ”

"I don't know, it seems that they have reached a cooperation with Malaysia, and now they are exchanging LNG ships for Malaysia's natural gas and oil." Tom was puzzled, too.

In fact, the reason why they think that Luzon is cowardly in the development of oil and gas off the coast of Palawan is that they do not understand the exploitation technology of Homo sapiens.

Now on the island of Palawan, Homo sapiens is secretly exploiting the surrounding undersea oil and gas resources.

It's just that the mining method is a little different.

That's why the outside world thinks that Luzon has given up the oil and gas resources off the coast of Palawan.

Homo sapiens, which has mastered the technology of long-distance horizontal underground exploitation, is too lazy to argue with its neighbors to the north, and secretly exploits oil and gas, anyway, it is good not to admit it when the time comes.
