Chapter 515: Huge loss and important scrap
At the same time, the Japanese fleet also received news of the explosion of the US aircraft carrier and activated the combat mechanism as soon as possible. Everyone was in place and prepared for a war that could come at any time.
But the three Philippine warships were frightened. The US aircraft carrier exploded. It was not our business. These little guys could only hide from a distance and watch, not daring to make any noise, for fear of causing misunderstandings.
The explosion on the aircraft carrier has ended, the fire and smoke are still continuing. At this moment, the entire deck is in chaos. Seven or eight F-18s are falling on the deck in a row, basically turning into waste. There is only one empty shell left in the entire bridge, and the people inside are hopelessly alive.
Mu Yang hid at the bottom of the sea more than 400 meters deep. He learned all this with exploration techniques. He was also shocked by what he did. Was it really done by himself? But I just wanted them to lose a F-18 fighter jet and make the Americans feel pain.
But the result of this now, let alone the pain, I guess I feel distressed, and I still feel distressed. Although the United States has ten aircraft carriers, they will also lose one of the latest main Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and will also jump in pain.
What's more, there are so many F-18 bumblebee, Mu Yang silently calculated in his mind. Now the US military should be equipped with the latest model of F\/A-18E\/F, also known as the Super Hornet, which is a supersonic multi-purpose combat attack aircraft, and each aircraft costs about 70 million US dollars.
There are 70 million US dollars. Based on the current situation of these aircraft on the deck, it is estimated that there are about ten scrapped aircraft, which is 700 million US dollars.
However, the plane can only be regarded as a small head for this loss.
Because in this accident, the "George Washington" aircraft carrier also caused serious damage. The aircraft carrier's bridge is the cockpit and the highest combat command room of the aircraft carrier. It was completely damaged during the explosion. Mu Yang looked at the current situation and needed at least overhaul.
The George Washington cost 3.5 billion US dollars, so this bridge must be worth hundreds of millions. Not much, this action will cost the Americans at least 1 billion. My buddy is worth it this time.
At this moment, the US aircraft carrier formation has fully entered the highest alert state, all the officers and soldiers of all ships have entered the combat position, the radar sonar is fully opened, the helicopter early warning aircraft is launched, and many American satellites are all concentrated in this area.
The aircraft carrier also has an emergency combat command room, which can be transferred to the emergency command room when the bridge is damaged. At this moment, in the emergency command room, deputy captain Watclyde is contacting the United States to report the current situation and losses.
"Mr. Minister, this is the case." Wattclyde reported all the information he had to the headquarters. At this moment, Wattclyde's deputy captain has been upgraded to interim commander.
"Bastard, a simple performance turned out like this. You said that the F-18 fighter suddenly lost control when landing, and then plunged head toward Cambridge, causing an explosion. How could the fighter suddenly lose control? The missiles were also detonated. Don't those missiles have insurance? How could they explode on their own?" The commander-in-chief of the Navy shouted in anger at the communicator.
The loss this time was too great, and the commander-in-chief of the Navy was likely to be blamed for this incident. No wonder he was in such a bad mood.
"We don't know the specific situation yet. We haven't found the black box of the fighter yet. We can't judge the situation at that time. Is it caused by human operation or whether it is because the plane failure can only be analyzed after obtaining the black box. As for why the missile explodes, I can't answer you yet, sir." Watclyde said.
"Your mission must find the black box as soon as possible. The headquarters will also send experts to find out the cause of the accident today. Organize a fleet to conduct strict investigations on all nearby waters to rule out the possibility of attacks from other countries. If you find it deliberately, you must find it out. If it is really found that it is the cause of other countries, it will be the beginning of a war." said the minister.
"I understand His Excellency Minister," replied Watclyde.
After communicating with the US aircraft carrier fleet, the Japanese fleet also joined the search mission in this area, scanning every centimeter of sea water and continent nearby, trying to find even any suspicious place.
Unfortunately, after more than an hour of exploration, all ships did not gain anything.
If Clark was here, perhaps this conscientious sonar soldier would make yesterday's discovery, or those who had experienced this incident yesterday would also think of yesterday's doubts. Unfortunately, due to the explosion in Cambridge, the sonar room was affected and everyone was killed, including the young Private Clark, Lieutenant Walker and Captain Nelson.
Colonel Scott was also in the Cambridge command room at the time, receiving leaders from the Philippines and Vietnam, and was immediately affected by the explosion.
Mu Yang hid in a cave under the sea. There were thick rocks protecting him. He was not afraid of sonar's investigation at all. He also made up his mind that if the American warships did not evacuate, he would not set off.
The news of the explosion of the USS George Washington aircraft carrier cannot be hidden because it is not only American satellites that are paying attention to it. Such a large aircraft carrier, such violent flames and thick smoke, with the current military satellite camera technology, was captured immediately.
This information was immediately put on the desks of leaders of various countries, especially China, Russia, Britain and France.
The Chinese leader's reaction is to track the latest news, try to clarify the cause of the matter, estimate whether the losses of the US and the possible consequences of this accident are beneficial to us in building the South China Sea islands.
The Russians' first reaction was to report this information, write it out more exaggeratedly, and humiliate the arrogant Americans. You should know that the news of the crash of the USS Kursk aircraft carrier in the Russian military exercise was revealed by the Americans at the first time, and they also mocked them more. Now the time for revenge has come.
After receiving the news, Britain, France and other countries immediately called the US president to express their concern and condolences. No one knew whether they were secretly happy.
US President Omar is also depressed at this moment. Why are he so lucky during this period? Things are happening one after another. It is July now, and the election is about to be about four months away. He is already a little anxious about his busy elections. There are always some messes, and it is also a big deal.
The Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy were immediately summoned to inquire about the matter.
