Chapter 798: Aircraft Carrier Captain, Sir, Let Us Go to Die
The Longxia tribe developed anti-ship ballistic missiles specifically for aircraft carriers. The terminal penetration speed exceeds Mach 15, and it also has the ability to maneuver and change trajectory at the terminal. It is obvious that all the characteristics and advantages of their weapons and equipment have been taken into consideration, with the aim of not giving them any chance of being shot down.
No matter how smart the staff is, he cannot use his intelligence to manually block and rely on his physical body to break the huge deterrent power brought by Yunfan No. 3!
Unless they abandon their current combat plan and stop the conflict with the Longxia tribe.
But if they do this, they will be extremely embarrassed and it obviously does not meet their strategic needs, so giving up is unrealistic.
This becomes an unsolvable problem.
It was only after taking all the pros and cons into consideration that the staff realized that they had no good solution and naturally had no suggestions to put forward.
Seeing that no one said a word and had no solution to such a difficult problem, the chief became very unhappy and acted quickly.
After a long while, the chieftain slowly spoke: "Our country's reputation cannot be damaged in any way. We must make up for the losses caused by this battle!"
"Therefore, I decided..."
The chieftain stood up suddenly and said seriously, "I decided to take a gamble!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the chief like curious babies, and pricked up their ears to listen to his next words.
"I bet the Longxia tribe just hit our Enterprise aircraft carrier by luck this time. They can't hit it a second time!" said the great chief with a serious face.
At this time, a military representative frowned slightly, suddenly took over the conversation and asked bluntly: "Captain, that's a war. What if the Longxia tribe hits our aircraft carrier a second time? What should we do then?"
Hearing this, the chief subconsciously clenched his fists and had the urge to beat this guy up. In his heart, he cursed him, "Damn it, how can you be blind? Why are you bringing up this matter? Are you deliberately going against me?"
You are the only one who understands war, you are the only one who is smart? I am just a big fool, right?
After glaring at the guy fiercely, the chief said in a deep voice: "Then stop this meaningless conflict. There is no need for us to make unnecessary sacrifices!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's take a step forward and test whether the Longxia tribe has really mastered this technology."
Another military representative expressed his agreement, "Let's take a gamble, and if it doesn't work, we'll retreat immediately!"
It didn't take long before everyone reached a consensus and agreed to take a gamble!
If they win the bet, they will be able to continue moving forward, which also indirectly proves that the Longxia tribe does not have the anti-ship ballistic missile technology.
If they lose the bet, they will bear the risk of losing the aircraft carrier. Compared with the risk, the benefits are more tempting!
The chieftain decisively made the decision: "Notify the frontline immediately, start a full-scale war, and wipe out the Longxia Navy!"
"Yes!"
Soon the relevant orders were issued to the relevant combat units.
Neither the Navy Command nor the front-line troops participating in the battle were aware that the Chief had made the decision to take a gamble.
In other words, they had to use their previous navy to bet that the Yunfan-3 launched by the Longxia tribe was a ballistic missile that hit the Enterprise aircraft carrier by chance.
Only luck and accidents can calm the hearts of the top military leaders a little. They can still bury their heads in the sand like ostriches and pretend nothing has happened.
Of course, their hearts involuntarily rose to their throats.
If this is true, it is too terrible. They cannot accept it at all! The Longxia tribe actually used ballistic missiles, a powerful weapon, for anti-ship operations. This is too outrageous and a new breakthrough.
It was precisely this kind of breakthrough that created the Longxia tribe's killer weapons and equipment, which kept them outside the first island chain, and they would no longer be able to freely sail into the waters inside the island chain.
This is absolutely unacceptable and truly horrific.
They can use ballistic missiles to hit moving targets, which is equivalent to completely scrapping their proud 11 aircraft carrier fleets. They cannot afford such a cost!
Before the Dark Night Project completes the deployment of relevant air defense and anti-missile systems, they will no longer be able to navigate freely in the Dongzhou waters.
This is absolutely not allowed, and such consequences are absolutely unacceptable!
What country are they? They are the number one military power on Blue Planet, and their navy can reach any ocean on Blue Planet to carry out combat missions. If they can't enter the first island chain, wouldn't that be the biggest joke on Blue Planet?
The current development speed of the Longxia tribe is too fast, which has completely exceeded their expectations. If it is not curbed, the dominant position of the Eagle tribe on the Blue Star will be shaken, and its majesty will decline rapidly!
If the international situation evolves into one with one superpower and many strong countries, and several major countries are able to compete with each other, this is something the Eagle Tribe does not want to see, and it is not in their interests!
So, they chose to take a gamble.
Success or failure depends on this one move. If they fail, they must make strategic adjustments.
If it succeeds, then not only the Donghuang tribe and the Nanbang tribe, but even several other smaller countries will become their vassal states again.
In the Pacific Naval Command, inside the headquarters building, General Abrams frowned upon hearing the news: "The Chief is asking for a gamble? What do you think?"
These words stunned everyone. It was obvious that they did not expect such a result.
"The chief's meaning is very clear. He wants us to test whether the ballistic missile from the Longxia tribe that hit our aircraft carrier was a fluke."
"There's nothing wrong with that. If the Longxia tribe really has anti-ship ballistic missile technology, how can we deter them in the future? We are the Blue Star Navy, how can we not enter the first island chain?"
"Even if we are not testing the Longxia tribe, we must follow the orders of the chieftain to the letter. Even if there are any losses, we will not be held responsible."
After a lot of discussion among his subordinates, Abrams gradually made up his mind.
"Then let's take a gamble."
Abrams turned his head and looked at everyone, and asked directly, "How long will it take for our Carl aircraft carrier fleet to reach the relevant waters of the East Desert Tribe?"
After a while, someone stood up and said, "General, it will take about three hours to arrive."
"Three hours?"
Abrams frowned immediately, "It's too long. We must compress the time."
"Notify them and have them rush to the war zone at full speed. Also, have them immediately launch carrier-based aircraft to provide support to the war zone. There must be no mistakes!" "Tell Bowensmith to be more cautious. The next target of the Longxia tribe's ballistic missiles cannot be ruled out."
After a brief pause, Abrams reminded again with a serious expression, "No matter whether the Longxia tribe's ballistic missile was a fluke or they have already mastered the relevant technology, we need to be extremely alert and vigilant and never let them succeed again."
The commanders immediately responded, "Yes, General!"
In fact, even if Abrams did not remind them, they would be on high alert to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Deep down, they naturally did not want the Longxia tribe to really master the anti-ship ballistic missile technology. If they really did, it would be completely subversive and the real nemesis of aircraft carriers, making their military technological advantage that they had maintained for so long disappear in an instant.
Without the technological advantage, they were equivalent to being naked, with all their weaknesses exposed to the Longxia tribe. From now on, the navy would have no way to show off its power in front of them!
It’s terrifying just to think about it, so naturally they are willing to take the risk and take a gamble!
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Donghuang tribal garrison base.
General Cruz just received a satellite call from the Navy Headquarters. The only request to them was to continue the attack on all fronts, launch an attack on the Navy, and thoroughly find out the details of the Longxia Tribe!
"The opportunity for revenge has finally come."
General Cruz put down the satellite phone without any expression on his face. This was all within his expectations. They had suffered such a big loss before, so they naturally had to get it back next.
If they don't completely defeat the Longxia Navy, they will no longer be the most powerful navy on Blue Star, and there will be no need for free navigation on Blue Star in the future.
Therefore, after receiving the request for help from Captain Willis of the USS Enterprise, he immediately ordered Koro to send all the fighters in the garrison base to the war zone to perform support missions. Then he immediately contacted the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet and asked them to rush over to support as soon as possible.
After the quick deployment was completed, General Koro reported with a serious face: "General, everything has been deployed."
"very good."
General Cruz nodded and then prayed, "I hope our next operation will go smoothly!"
"General, we will definitely be successful." General Koro echoed.
In fact, he was just praying silently in his heart. The battlefield environment was changing rapidly, and no one could guarantee whether the Longxia tribe had really mastered the anti-ship ballistic missile technology!
As the order reached the combat wing, at the garrison base air force airport, one F18 Hornet after another took off from the runway and flew into the target area.
In order to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible, they even turned on the afterburner and put the fighter planes in a high-speed sprint state.
Being able to save time and consume a little fuel is very necessary and it is no big deal.
Soon, General Koro's order was also conveyed to the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet.
In the main control room, the signalman immediately reported to the captain: "Captain, General Koro has sent the latest combat order."
"Read!"
Standing in front of the porthole, holding a telescope and looking at the vast ocean shrouded in night, Captain Douglas responded without even turning his head.
He was also greatly shocked during this military operation. Although the vast ocean looked very calm, it actually concealed undercurrents. If one was not careful, one would fall into an irretrievable situation.
Therefore, he no longer dared to be careless.
"Reporting to the captain, General Koro ordered us to dispatch carrier-based aircraft immediately to support the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet." The communications soldier reported truthfully.
"Oh? Is it so urgent that you want us to go and provide support?"
Douglas put down the telescope and asked in surprise, "Could it be that they have already started a war?"
The signalman quickly explained: "Captain, there is no fighting on the front line, but..."
"But what? Don't be so hesitant, just say what you want to say." Douglas frowned, looking puzzled.
The fighting hasn't even started on the front line, but they are still asked to dispatch carrier-based aircraft for emergency support, which makes them so anxious.
"This!" The communications soldier was still a little hesitant, and hesitantly said nothing for a long time.
Seeing the signalman's expression, Douglas also vaguely felt something unusual, and immediately said: "You can tell me anything directly. What happened to the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet?"
"Captain, just five minutes ago, the Longxia tribe launched a medium-range ballistic missile." The communications soldier reported.
"What? They launched a ballistic missile, where did that hit us?"
Douglas' brows furrowed even more tightly, and his heart was in turmoil. He did not expect that such a big thing had happened in the outside world in just a few minutes, and he did not receive any news at all.
"It didn't hit a fixed target, but hit our Enterprise aircraft carrier..."
The signalman then told Douglas the whole story, and only then did he understand what had happened.
A medium-range ballistic missile equipped with a conventional warhead hit the USS Enterprise, completely depriving it of its combat effectiveness. Therefore, it needed the support of the rest of the fleet and could only withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner under their cover.
Without the support of aircraft carriers, the combat effectiveness of the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet will be greatly reduced, which will naturally be unfavorable for the subsequent conflict with the Longxia Navy.
Of course, in the current environment, the USS Enterprise has no way to withdraw from the battlefield. If you want to keep the aircraft carrier, you need the support of other forces.
Providing support to the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet was a small matter and could be done. However, the Longxia tribe's breakthrough in anti-ship ballistic missile technology made him feel a chill running down his spine.
Because none of them knew whether the Longxia tribe still had such a powerful weapon?
