The new FRFT algorithm iterated quickly, and it took only two days for the key coastal early warning radar base to complete the system update.

However, due to the lack of ARES system as an offensive and defensive verification, in fact, even after updating the system, Huaxia is not clear whether the new radar system can effectively eliminate jamming signals.

As a result, the development of new jamming equipment has become an urgent task.

Chengdu, in the office.

Chen Nian sat opposite Chen Guo, frowning as he looked at the report in front of him.

So in the past two days, they have not made any new provocative actions?"

"Yes, Ishigaki Island is quiet, and there have been no planes taking off for the past two days."

"In the same way, they denied our questioning – in short, they did not admit any electronic interference, insisting that it had nothing to do with them."

"Are the United States and the island countries so insistent?"

"Yes, the caliber is very uniform, and it is said that it is the failure of our own radar system."

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

Then he spoke:

"If that's the case, then their intentions are pretty much obvious."

"The last possibility has been ruled out, and now we can be sure that they are not testing new equipment, nor are they preparing for war, they are purely trying to consume our troop deployment resources."

"Look, in a few days, after our combat readiness patrols are lifted, they will continue to come and harass them."

Chen Guo nodded and said approvingly:

"This is a very accurate judgment-—— but after the FRFT algorithm is updated, we will be able to have a greater initiative in dealing with harassment."

"That's not enough."

Chen Nian shook his head slightly and replied:

"The FRFT system can last for half a month to a month at most, and the other party's ARES system is even more powerful than you think."

"It's an open system, and as long as you keep updating the system suite, you can keep improving performance."

"It's definitely not that hard for them."

"The only way out for us is to put an end to their harassment in the first place."

"Or, as you say, to provoke infighting between the two of them through electronic jamming?"

"It's not as simple as it sounds."

Chen Nian spread his hands helplessly, and his mood was slightly depressed.

He can't be blamed for this, in fact, this is the first major blow he has experienced since the establishment of Starfire.

He once thought that Xinghuo would always maintain a crushing posture against the United States, and quickly trampled them under their feet with an endless stream of advanced technology, but now it seems that such an idea is still too contemptuous of the opponent.

The situation in Africa is an asymmetrical response by the other side, and the emergence of ARES nearly 15 years ahead of schedule has dealt him a heavy blow.

This made him understand that Lao Mei's hands are definitely more than what they show, and if they want to really shake their hegemony, it is not enough to rely on an economic crisis, and it is not enough to rely on a few advanced weapons.

Only by fundamentally dismantling the order they have established will it be possible for the latecomers to prevail and take power from them.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian sighed softly.

Subsequently, he continued:

"Technically, we have to come up with more advanced electronic jamming technology as soon as possible."

"Although it is judged that at this stage, whether it is Kadena or the mainland of the island country, their radar system anti-jamming capability is relatively backward, but it cannot be ruled out that the United States will also upgrade the anti-jamming system in the near future."

"After all, in previous confrontations, our electronic warfare systems were exposed at one time."

"It's been almost three years, and it's possible that they have conducted targeted research"

"But our electronic warfare systems are also being upgraded."

Chen Guo interrupted Chen Nian's words and spoke.

"They must be targeting our upgraded system, and they're not stupid."

"As long as there is a 'starting point' for the technology, they can deduce the entire context of technological development."

"Okay."

Chen Guo hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but retort:

"But I still think it's hard for them to be as skilled as you might expect."

"Prevention is better than prevention."

Chen Nian's tone carried a hint of unquestionable authority, which was extremely rare in his communication with Chen Guo.

It is conceivable that in his heart, the seriousness of this incident has exceeded all the previous circumstances.

After a short pause, he continued:

'In addition to the technical aspect, we also have to think about the tactical aspect.

"To achieve this, we had to implement two jamming systems at the same time."

"The first system paralyzes the communication links between the bases of the two sides."

"The second system disrupts the radar identification of both sides."

"As long as both systems are in effect at the same time, we can make them hostile to each other-—— of course, this is also a very unlikely event."

"There is a high probability that the two sides may enter combat readiness simultaneously, but will first confirm their intentions through other means."

"But even that is enough."

"If it doesn't work once, come a few more times, and one time, they will go wrong."

"I see, the purpose is to muddy the water and let them have their own accidents."

"That's right."

Chen Nian went on to explain:

"Even if it doesn't achieve the best effect, it can be regarded as treating others in their own way."

In fact, Chen Nian is quite confident in this strategy.

In short, it is enough not to ask them to really use thermal weapons to open fire, as long as they constantly mobilize the opponent's combat readiness forces and let them form internal friction on their own.

Chen Nian put down the report in his hand, leaned back slightly, and changed to a more relaxed posture.

Then he asked:

"Let's not talk about electronic countermeasures, how are the sea trials of 055 going?"

"It's going well, and the radar system has been tested in the past two days."

"The basic subjects have been completed, and the next step is to theoretically enter the ocean route experiment-—— but according to the current situation, the superiors should not plan to transfer it to Africa."

"As long as you go, you won't be able to come back in half a year, but the Liaoning ship really needs its sword guard."

"So, in the end, it should be a safer route."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded again.

In fact, it is indeed quite a radical strategy to directly let 055 perform important tasks during the sea trial, although I am very confident in 055, but in the current situation, it is better to seek stability.

However, the matter of Africa must also be resolved.

It seems that we can only rely on the long-distance 052C.

At the same time, on the Atlantic.

The Zhengzhou 052C-class destroyer and the Weishanhu supply ship sailed in the waves, heading in the direction of the Red Sea.

In fact, this 052C-class destroyer was only added to the list last year and belongs to one of the second batch of 4 ships.

It was supposed to be the star ship in the navy, but with the official launch of 055, its original scenery has almost disappeared.

In the bridge command room, Captain Hu Shuming held the rudder tightly, carefully controlled the direction, and manipulated the hull of the ship to cross the waves vertically.

It wasn't until he drove out of the big wave area that his expression finally relaxed.

The first mate on the side casually handed him a bottle of water and said:

"The tonnage of 052C is still too small, this little wave will hit the head and shake your head, if only how to drive 055, 16,000 tons, no wave."

Looking at the first mate's fascinated expression, Hu Shuming shook his head amusedly, and then replied:

"You didn't say that when you first got on the ship, you said that it was already complete to be able to drive 052C in this life."

"What's the matter, it's only been a few months, and I'm starting to like the new and hate the old?"

"Harm, people go to high places, Lao Hu, you say with your conscience, you don't want to drive 055?"

Hu Shuming rolled his eyes and moved his gaze back to the sea.

Then he replied:

"I want to, I dream of it."

"But dreaming is dreaming, and not all dreams can come true so quickly."

"Now there is only one 055, and the sea trials have not been completed, let alone open, it is not easy to go up and take a look."

"If you really want to open it, let's wait for two years to get more - when we have enough qualifications, maybe we can really catch it?"

"Then you can definitely catch it!"

The first mate said with a smile.

But then, his expression became a little emotional, and after a long silence, he continued:

"Seriously, if only we were driving 055 this time."

"Just rely on this 052C, I want to meet the Fifth Fleet of the United States, I'm really a little"

"A little scared?"

Hu Shuming asked.

"Scared? How can it be! ”

"It should be said that it is a worry - I am afraid that I will not be able to kill them and lose face to the country."

Hu Shuming nodded silently, in fact, he could fully understand the mood of the first mate.

After all, at this moment, his mind is not much different from the other party.

It's all worrying, it's all worrying, it's all confused.

He is very clear about his mission, and he is also very clear about the bottom line of the mission.

Under the premise that no force can be used, this 052C must tear through the "de facto" encirclement of the Fifth Fleet and reach the port of Djibouti, and then, after the Weishanhu has completed the replenishment of the other 052 left there, it will turn around and go to Port Sudan, where it will anchor and wait for the next possible evacuation mission.

Although it sounds like just a few simple actions, in fact, even if you break it down to the smallest detail, it is not easy to complete any of them.

The first is to cross the Red Sea.

The Fifth Fleet has deployed a large number of forces in the Red Sea and near the Gulf of Aden, which is called escort, but in fact it is a deliberate blockade.

If the Zhengzhou ship wants to pass, it will inevitably be intercepted by them.

When the time comes, they will find all kinds of reasons to interfere with the free passage of the Zhengzhou ship, and it is impossible for them to take advantage of the process of "reasoning" with them.

As for fighting a game regardless of the situation and snatching the way out?

Not to mention that the superiors will not allow this, even if the superiors agree, 052C is not enough for the other party's Burke-level and Ticonderoga-level to beat.

Even if this step is successfully completed, the evacuation mission of Port Sudan will not be so simple.

Now the whole of Port Sudan is under the control of the Revolutionary Front organization, and according to the intelligence of the front, the other side is well-armed and does not follow the rules.

"Unruly" means that they may attack their own side.

Once this happens, the Zhengzhou ship will have to rely on shipboard weapons for defense, and at the same time, it will also have to form an absolute deterrent, so as not to organize a move on the Chinese in Suzhou who will be evacuated.

The defense is good to say, but it can be sheltered.

Hu Shuming asked himself that 052C was almost impossible to do.

The range of naval guns is too short, missiles cannot be launched at will, helicopters have a weak range and armament, and electronic warfare does not play much role in the face of those little blacks.

Perhaps, in the end, the assistance of air forces from Djibouti will be needed.

But if the Air Force wants to reach Port Sudan, it must pass through the air defense identification zone of the United States.

This is an irreconcilable paradox

Hu Shuming sighed and said involuntarily:

"It's so embarrassing."

"yes, it's so embarrassing."

The first mate on the side echoed:

"You said, it's good if you can start fighting directly, but the weapons can't work, even if you hit me, they will sink them."

"The most troublesome thing is the current situation, you can't fight, and you have to make the other party admit it."

"Surrendering without a fight is easy to say, but in fact it is not that easy."

"Really, if only 055 were here, that's the real tiger into the flock."

"You've said it three times in less than five minutes."

Hu Shuming interrupted.

Then, he raised the water bottle in his hand and took a sip, and then threw the bottle back into the first mate's hand with the lid screwed.

"Don't think about unrealistic things, and now the East China Sea is not optimistic."

"It is said that two days ago, I also encountered strong electromagnetic interference, which was done by the old American EF-18, and wanted to create a huge air situation for us again."

"Fortunately, we just updated the radar system, and there were no serious consequences."

"Therefore, in the short term, 055 should not sail to Djibouti, and we can only rely on ourselves."

"Still."

"Even if it's on our own, it's not necessarily completely impossible."

"What's the solution?"

The first mate asked with some curiosity.

"How do I know! Take one step at a time! ”

Hu Shuming replied angrily.

But then, he said solemnly:

"Whether there is a way or not, when it's time for us to go, we have to go."

"Back then, when we put tanks on the ship, we dared to call those grandsons on the board, but now, with the ship's guns and missiles, don't we dare to get on it?"

"Isn't it Lao Mei? Touch it and see who's hard. ”

"They have a way out, we don't."

"This time, we want to go beyond just Africa."

"There, there are compatriots waiting for us."

"This ship is their last hope."
