Originally, this was the Spanish military port. After the end of the Spanish-American War, the United States occupied the Philippines, and since then the Philippines became a US colony. The US military built a large-scale construction and expanded the Subic military port, making it a port that could accommodate a large naval fleet.

The US Pacific Fleet has just been formed shortly after it was formed. It is divided into three fleets, one for the Hawaiian fleet, one for the Philippines fleet, and the other for the Australian fleet. The Philippine fleet is almost at the gate of China, posing a great threat to the Third Fleet that cruises the South China Sea. The US fleet is also threatened by the Third Fleet. If it is not for preparing for the war, there is no reason to explain that the Americans sent the fleet to the Philippines during the sensitive period of the war and threaten each other with the Chinese Navy.

Since the Americans made this move, the whole world can see that Americans must have plans and Chinese people will be wary. It’s just that whether Americans should choose war or contain China to balance the power of the world is uncertain. No one will go where the Americans will go.

The Darwin Port, located in northern Australia, is a military port located in Australia by the US military. Although the United States is not the owner of this place, they signed an Australian garrison agreement with the United Kingdom. The US military leased the Darwin Port and parked two aircraft carriers here. The US Pacific Fleet Command is also located near the Darwin Port. Because it is far away from the Asian continent, it is not easy to be attacked by the Jinzha aircraft. The headquarters will be safer here.

Robert, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, is holding a meeting, with Australian Fleet Commander Erwin and several senior officers from the headquarters attending the meeting, who are enthusiastically discussing the current situation in East Asia and the overall situation in the world.

On the desk in front of Robert, who was in his early fifties, was a document he had received. This document attracted the attention of the Pacific Fleet, the US side and the government, because it mentioned a telegram of the Third Fleet that was intercepted by the US spy ship during the exercise in the South China Sea on the 20th. After this telegram was deciphered by the US military, a major information was immediately revealed.

A line of words was written on the telegram, which was the command sent by the Third Fleet Command to the carrier-based aircraft pilot. It said that if the aircraft carrier is not in the enemy, the attack mission will be cancelled immediately."

Although the meaning of these words is very vague, it may not mean that Zhen** wants to attack Subic military port. It may also be that Zhen**’s aircraft carrier sends messages when launching an attack. It is not surprising.

However, based on their intercepting of this message, the intercepting of the carrier-based aircraft of the two squadrons of Zhen** flew over Subic. The intercepting of the telegram was 2:58, and the Jin** plane seen by the US reconnaissance plane on Subic Harbour was about ten minutes later. It seems that the order on the telegram seemed to have some inevitable connection between the Jin** plane flying over Subic Harbour.

Perhaps this is just a coincidence, but if it is not a coincidence, it means that Zhen** wants to take the opportunity of exercise to launch an air strike on the US military's Subic military's military port, but because it does not have their aircraft carrier, the combat mission was cancelled. This possibility is also very high, which shocked the United States into a cold sweat.

After deciphering this telegram, the US government and the military were shocked, and the Pacific Command was even more impressed and ordered the fleet to remain alert at any time to prevent vibrations and continue to use exercises as smoke bombs to launch a surprise attack on the US military.

Robert graduated from West Point, the most famous military academy in the United States. He is a highly qualified person among the US military. He once served as the captain of the aircraft carrier fleet and commander of the Hawaiian fleet. He has rich command experience and is a keen soldier.

A bead of sweat oozed slightly from Robert's towering nose, which made him feel that the weather in this ghost place in Australia was really different, he was a little irritable, and his expression was gloomy.

"So, do you think this message can explain the problem?" Robert looked around several senior commanders of the Pacific Fleet around and frowned slightly.

Among them is missing Michael, the commander of the Philippines fleet, because he must be in charge of the Subic military port in order to prevent the fleet from losing its maximum combat effectiveness without the command of the supreme commander when attacked.

Unlike Robert's sophisticated and profound, Elvin, who was in his early forties, seemed younger and more energetic. Although things seemed a little urgent, he kept a smile on his face.

Seeing that the others didn't speak, Erwin immediately looked at Robert's face that looked a little gloomy, and then slowly spoke up and said, "I think this is enough to show the problem. Whether the Chinese are practicing or really want to use the exercise as a cover to suddenly attack Subic military port, we cannot take it lightly, because the possibility of their raids is not without, but great."

"According to the latest information, the Chinese government has regarded the US Pacific Fleet as the biggest threat. They have regarded us as thorns in our eyes and flesh. They believe that it is the existence of the Pacific Fleet, which has caused them to dare not send a fleet to support the Atlantic Ocean. If the Pacific Fleet exists for one day, the Chinese have to stay at their doorstep for a day because they are also worried that the United States will attack their territory. This is the same as ours." Erwin paused slightly and continued.

"That's true. I estimate that the two Chinese aircraft carriers in Turkey will soon return to the Strait of Malacca because they only have two aircraft carriers in this area. They are worried that our Australian fleet in Darwin will unite with the Philippine fleet and take action against their third fleet so that they will be outnumbered and defeated by our army. So they have urgently recalled the second fleet stationed in the port of Sib, Turkey. Although the Chinese have not announced the news, I guess their second fleet should have been anchored in Singapore or other ports near Southeast Asia." A 37 or 38-year-old officer with a bearded face continued Erwin.

After hearing the two of them, a hint of coldness immediately gathered in Robert's eyes like a falcon. After a little thought, the Chinese people wanted to take the initiative. This is very worthy of attention. We must step up reconnaissance and surveillance and pay close attention to the next step of the Chinese. After this telegram incident, they have become extremely untrustworthy and extremely aggressive."

Erwin nodded slightly and continued to say that in fact, both China and the United States knew that a war would not be avoided sooner or later. However, when the war would start, how big it would be, it is still uncertain. Who will shoot the first shot, it is still unknown. Since the Chinese feel that the threat from the United States is getting bigger and bigger, they will always be wary of us. Perhaps they want to take the first wave of losses in advance, and then change the balance of power between the two sides, so that they can deal with our Pacific Fleet more easily."

"I think the Chinese people will definitely think of this strategically. When they think of the benefits of taking the initiative, it is strategically worth it."

Another young officer who looked white seemed to agree with Erwin's point of view. He nodded to Erwin. In fact, judging from the current naval strength, although the US military is close to twice the number of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, the actual combat power of the two countries is comparable, mainly because the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet has more powerful submarine forces and advanced torpedoes, and large ranges, strong maneuverability and faster carrier-based aircraft. This... is currently the biggest gap between the Chinese and US navy naval forces. With this... technical leadership, the combat effectiveness of the single aircraft carrier fleet of the Chinese navy is much stronger than that of the US military."

"Compared with the new Cheetah-class submarines of the US military, the Chinese Tang-class submarines have obvious advantages in tonnage and firepower. Their Tang-class improved submarines have a tonnage of 2,300 tons, twice as many as the cheetah-class 1,000 tons. Their torpedo diameter is 500 mm, while the torpedo diameter of the Cheetah-class equipment is only 200 mm, which is much less powerful than the Tang-class submarines." Erwin continued to interpret this topic after the young officer's words.

"Their torpedoes are not only powerful, but also have a much stronger hitting ability than other countries' naval torpedoes. Regarding the torpedo guidance capabilities of Tang-class submarines, the outside world speculated that they used some advanced means to guide torpedoes to attack targets, but they did not know that the Chinese used technical means to enable the torpedo to hit targets at a distance of more than ten kilometers, because this seems to be very incredible in the view of direct flight torpedo technology. So it is certain that the Chinese must have used other technical means to enable the torpedo to change to attack targets. This method is unknown. At this point, the attack power of the US submarine is far inferior." Erwin paused slightly and continued.

"Not only Tang-class submarines, but also Chinese warships and anti-submarine aircraft torpedoes have adopted advanced guidance technology. Their torpedo technology has far surpassed the navies of other countries in the world. In addition, it can be said that if our cheetah submarine encounters Tang-class submarines or their warships at a long distance of more than ten kilometers, and the two sides shoot torpedoes, the Cheetah-class will almost never hit Tang-class submarines, and the probability of Tang-class submarines hitting Cheetah-class is one-third. This huge difference makes the attack power of Tang-class submarines much stronger than our submarines." An officer with a gentle look and looks a little shy also joined the discussion and said with interest.
