Chapter 812 Dual Aircraft Carrier Battle Group
The waves in the distance rolled up more than two meters high, and a wave rose high and fell again. This huge storm on the sea finally began!
The warships around have been separated, and even ten thousand tons of warships will shake left and right in the bad weather at sea, which is difficult to control. If they can't control the collision, it will be quite sad.pbtt.
Just as the waves hit, Captain Locke felt his whole body tremble when he saw the high waves. As long as the big waves hit him, his submarine would definitely capsize.
At this time, the fear of death occupied his mind. He seemed to be a drowning person who had grabbed the life-saving straw, and suddenly grabbed the rope thrown by the helicopter.
At this time, the Seahawk helicopter above his head was about to fly away. In the bad weather, the Seahawk helicopter was easily damaged. They were originally a little admiring for the American submarine captain below and would rather die than live in vain. Who knew that when it was really time to die, they suddenly realized that it was better to live.
The rope was rising, and the Seahawk helicopter had already returned. Two naval personnel pulled Captain Locke into the cockpit. Captain Locke's face turned pale and said nothing.
Below, the submarine had disappeared into the waves, and the helicopter was shaking like a leaf in the storm.
At this time, it is impossible to return to the original destroyer. The narrow deck cannot allow the carrier-based helicopters to return safely under high sea conditions. However, this time the aircraft carrier formation has two aircraft carriers of tens of thousands of tons.
The Urgent aircraft carrier stands tall in the storm. After the shaking fin is lowered, the deck shakes left and right, no more than ten degrees. Although it is still a bit dangerous to take off and land a fixed-wing fighter, the landing of the helicopter is very easy.
The storm temporarily delayed the actions of both sides, but the tense atmosphere never melted away.
White House.
"One of our Burke-class destroyers was injured by an unknown submarine. One of our search Los Angeles-class submarines was also injured." Defense Secretary Cheney said: "Now, Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation appears in the waters of the accident with great fanfare. It must be the Pakistani submarines did it!"
"But until now, we have not found that submarine. As long as we don't find that submarine, we cannot accuse the Pakistani of doing it." Secretary of State Baker said.
"Is there any reason now? Pakistan is our biggest enemy. Over the years, we have been helping Pakistan. But we have cultivated an enemy!" Cheney said: "We have no choice now. This is a challenge to our American maritime power. We must maintain our maritime power. We must fight Pakistan at sea and use battles to wash away our shame. Our navy is the most powerful!"
At this time, the United States mobilized two aircraft carrier combat groups, the Nimitz and the Enterprise. The arrival of these two aircraft carrier combat groups will maximize the US's combat effectiveness in the center of the Indian Ocean. Although the US Air Force still needs to stay in Afghanistan. It is impossible to support the naval battles, and only two aircraft carrier combat groups can fully confront the Pakistani naval formation.
"Yes, now we have no choice but to war!" Bush, the old man, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the sunset outside, his words were still firm, but seemed to be helpless.
War! After Bush took office, he brought wars to the United States. Bush believed that only through war can the United States gain enough benefits, but now, war seems to have brought the United States into a dead end.
Now, the US finances are stretched and Europe is unwilling to cut wool for the US. The situation in the US has also begun to become severe. The dissatisfaction with the authorities has made President Bush, the most unpopular president in the United States. The Gallup Company of the United States, the largest poll company in the United States, shows that Bush's approval rating has dropped to three percent! This is an astonishing number, representing the complete failure of the Bush administration!
Even if the next term does not require Bush to run for the election, the Republican Party will definitely not be able to win the election. The biggest problem now is that the American people can no longer bear it and are likely to let Bush get out during his term of office.
Bush Sr. has no other idea now. The attack on the conspiracy country behind him during his term is Bush Sr.'s final wish. The strong US naval power has not been suffered yet. There should be no problem in dealing with a second-rate country.
I hope that my successor, the next US president, can understand his good intentions and expand a greater living space for the United States. Doing so is entirely for the interests of the United States! Unfortunately, the road to expanding territory is rugged, and it will cost to plant the star-stripe banner of freedom and democracy into the Middle East.
"Only by defeating Pakistan's maritime formations, only by severely damaging Pakistan's maritime power can our people know that our military strength will always be the most powerful in the world, and we have the ability to protect our people." Bush said.
In fact, Bush still doesn't understand that what the lower class people really need is just a better life. It has nothing to do with how many countries the United States controls, and it has nothing to do with whom oil is in the hands of. The wishes of any country and the lower class people are very simple. Bread and ham are what the people need. However, as the US President, Bush certainly will not represent the interests of the lower class people. He wants to serve the large consortium that supports his own. Now, arms companies such as Lockheed have become the most profitable companies in the United States.
Politics is always the dirtiest.
Under the order of the president, a battle group composed of two aircraft carriers of the US Navy was sailing on the Indian Ocean. They already knew that a Burke-class destroyer and a Los Angeles-class submarine were attacked by an unknown submarine. The Los Angeles-class submarine then sank in the wind and waves, which made the US Navy extremely angry.
US Lieutenant General Poindexter stood on the bridge of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier. The storm at sea had passed and the entire Indian Ocean returned to peace, but his heart was fluctuating.
The Nimitz is the first ship of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The name comes from Chester William Nimitz, the commander of the Pacific Fleet in World War II. This is the world's largest tonnage and strongest comprehensive combat capability. The full load displacement exceeds 100,000 tons, and the total number of fighter aircraft loaded exceeds 80. With just one such aircraft carrier, its combat effectiveness can be comparable to Pakistan's dual-aircraft carrier combat group.
However, combat effectiveness cannot be simply measured by quantity. The F-14 Tomcat fighter jets on these two aircraft carriers have been eliminated and replaced by the F-1 fighter jet.
This fighter was originally developed as a supplement to the Tomcat fighter and used to save money. However, for various reasons, the Tomcat fighter retired from service too early, and the F-1 rejuvenated its second spring and became the main fighter of the US Navy.
Moreover, in order to achieve the task of replacing the Tomcat fighter, the F-1's major facelift, f-1e/f, has completed the test flight early and entered the US equipment sequence. It uses the F414 engine with increased thrust, which improves the body, has a longer range, and has more missiles mounted, and can use all the weapons in the US military's active arsenal.
The cost of this type of aircraft has not been reduced much, but its performance is much worse than that of the previous Tomcats. Especially the combination of Tomcat fighter jets and Immortal missiles that the US Navy relies on to maintain rapid interception capabilities has disappeared. These super hornets are no match for Pakistan's Tomcat fighter jets at all. In particular, Pakistan has rich experience after many battles with the Soviets, which is incomparable to the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft pilots.
Now, Bush still wants the US Navy to fight against Pakistan, which is actually unwise. The United States does not need war, the United States needs a peaceful environment, and needs to develop its economy!
Fighting Iraq is actually a chess move. Following the fight against Iran, dragging the United States back into the quagmire of Vietnam War. But now Bush is not willing to give up and wants to fight with the Pakistani people again! If you continue like this, the result will be the destruction of the United States!
What can the United States pay for so much foreign debt? The United States is now following the old path of the Soviet Union! Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Poindexter couldn't help but feel regret.
Unfortunately, I am a soldier, and soldiers cannot participate in politics. The basic system since the founding of the United States is that civil servants rule, and the army is just a tool.
"Report, the early warning aircraft discovered that there were a large number of surface ships in the southern waters, east of the Maldives Islands!" At this moment, a voice interrupted Poindexter's thoughts.
The main force of the Pakistani people actually ran from the west of the Maldives Islands to the east! This made it easy for us to find! Fortunately, since the early warning plane has discovered the other side, there will be reconnaissance satellites to locate it, find the other side's main force, and then conduct a raid, severely damaging the other side's formation!
It is strange that until now, both sides have not officially declared war, but the battle at sea is ongoing.
The two aircraft carriers continuously ejected and took off carrier-based aircraft. The Super Hornet mounted on Air You carried a large number of Aim-12 missiles and Aim-9 missiles. The Super Hornet carrying the attack mission was equipped with Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and a round of attack completely destroyed the opponent's maritime strength!
