Dominate South Asia

The waves in the distance rolled up to a height of more than two meters. A wave rose high and fell again. This huge storm on the sea has finally begun!

The surrounding warships have been separated. Even 10,000-ton warships will sway left and right in the bad weather at sea and are difficult to control. It would be quite tragic if they collide because they cannot control it.

The moment the waves hit, Captain Locke felt his whole body tremble when he saw the high waves. As long as the big waves hit, his submarine would definitely capsize.

At this time, the fear of death occupied his mind. Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, he suddenly grabbed the rope dropped by the helicopter.

At this time, the Seahawk helicopter overhead was already flying away. In bad weather, the Seahawk helicopter could easily crash. Originally, they had some respect for the American submarine captain below, and they would rather die than live an ignoble existence. Who knows, if you are really on the verge of death, you may suddenly realize that living is better.

While the rope was rising, the Seahawk helicopter had already returned. Two naval personnel pulled Captain Locke into the cockpit. Captain Locke's face was pale and he didn't say a word.

Below, the submarine had disappeared into the waves, and the helicopter was swaying like a leaf in the storm.

At this time, it is impossible to return to the original destroyer. The narrow deck cannot allow the ship-based helicopter to return safely in high sea conditions. However, this aircraft carrier formation has two tens of thousands of tons of aircraft carriers. .

The aircraft carrier Indomitable stands tall in the storm. After the stabilizer was lowered, the deck swayed from side to side no more than ten degrees. Although taking off and landing a fixed-wing fighter was still a bit dangerous, the landing of the helicopter was still limited. It's very easy.

The storm temporarily delayed the actions of both parties, but the tense atmosphere never melted away.

White House.

"One of our Burke-class destroyers was damaged by a submarine of unknown nationality, and one of our searching Los Angeles-class submarines was similarly damaged." Secretary of Defense Cheney said: "Now, Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation is flying with great fanfare. It must have been a Pakistani submarine that appeared in the accident area!”

"But until now, we have not found the submarine. As long as the submarine is not found, we cannot accuse the Pakistanis of doing it." Secretary of State Baker said.

"Do we still need a reason now? Pakistan is our biggest enemy. Over the years, we have been helping Pakistan, but in the end we have cultivated an enemy!" Cheney said: "We have no choice now. This is an attack on our American sea power. We must maintain our maritime power. We must start a battle with Pakistan at sea and use the battle to wash away our shame. Our navy is the most powerful!”

at this time. The United States mobilized two aircraft carrier battle groups, the USS Nimitz and the USS Enterprise. The arrival of these two aircraft carrier battle groups will maximize the combat effectiveness of the United States in the center of the Indian Ocean. Although the U.S. Air Force still needs to stay in Afghanistan and cannot support the Navy's battle, with only two aircraft carrier battle groups, it is fully capable of confronting the Pakistani naval formation.

"Yes, now we have no choice but to go to war!" Bush stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sunset outside, his words still firm. But it seemed helpless.

war! After Bush Sr. came to power, he brought wars to the United States. Bush Sr. believed that only through war can the United States obtain sufficient benefits. But now, wars seem to have led the United States into a dead end.

Now, America's finances are stretched thin. Europe is no longer willing to cut the wool of the United States, and the domestic situation in the United States has also begun to become serious. President Bush Sr. is dissatisfied with the authorities. Became the most unpopular president in the United States, the Gallup Company of the United States. The largest public opinion polling company in the United States shows that Bush’s approval rating has dropped to 3%! This is an astonishing number and represents the complete failure of the Bush administration!

Even if Bush Sr. is no longer needed to run for the next term, 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 it is very likely that Bush Sr. will get out during his term.

Bush Sr. has no other ideas now. It is Bush Sr.'s last wish to complete the attack on the conspiracy country, Pakistan, during his term of office. The powerful naval power of the United States has not been damaged for the time being, and it can deal with a second-rate country. , there should be no problem.

I hope that my successor, the next President of the United States, will understand my good intentions and expand a greater living space for the United States. What I do is entirely for the benefit of the United States! Unfortunately, the road to territorial expansion is rugged, and there is a price to pay for planting the stars and stripes of freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

"Defeating Pakistan's maritime formation and severely damaging Pakistan's maritime power can let our people know that our military strength will always be the most powerful in the world and that we have the ability to protect our people," Bush said. .

In fact, Bush Sr. still doesn’t understand that what the people at the bottom really need is a better life. It has nothing to do with how many countries the United States controls, or who owns the oil. In any country, the aspirations of the people at the bottom are all Quite simply, bread and ham are what the people need. However, as the president of the United States, Bush Sr. will certainly not represent the interests of the people at the bottom. He will serve the large consortium that supports him. Now, arms companies such as Lockheed have become the most profitable companies in the United States.

Politics is always the dirtiest thing.

Under the order of the President, a battle group composed of two aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy was sailing in the Indian Ocean. They already knew that a Burke-class destroyer and a Los Angeles-class submarine of their own had been attacked by a submarine of unknown nationality. The Los Angeles-class submarine subsequently sank in the wind and waves, which made the U.S. Navy extremely angry.

U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Poindexter stood on the bridge of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier. The storm at sea had passed and the entire Indian Ocean had returned to calm, but his heart was still ups and downs.

The USS Nimitz is the first ship of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The name comes from the World War II Pacific Fleet Commander Chester William Nimitz. This is the military ship with the largest tonnage and the strongest comprehensive combat capability in the world. The full load displacement exceeds 100,000 tons, and the total number of loaded fighters exceeds 80. As long as one such aircraft carrier, its combat effectiveness can be comparable to Pakistan's dual aircraft carrier battle group.

However, combat effectiveness cannot simply be measured by quantity. The F-14 Tomcat fighters on these two aircraft carriers have been eliminated and replaced by F-18 fighters.

This fighter was originally developed as a supplement to the Tomcat fighter to save money. However, due to various reasons, the Tomcat fighter was prematurely withdrawn from active service, and the F-18 has a second spring of life. It became the main fighter aircraft of the U.S. Navy.

Moreover, in order to fulfill the task of replacing the Tomcat fighter jet, the F-18's major modification, the F-18E/F, has completed test flights early and entered the equipment sequence of the United States. It uses the F414 engine with increased thrust and improved the airframe. , has a longer range, carries more missiles, and can use all weapons in the US military’s active arsenal.

The cost of this kind of aircraft has not actually come down much, but its performance is much worse than the previous Tomcats. Especially the combination of Tomcat fighters and Phoenix missiles that the U.S. Navy relies on to maintain its rapid interception capabilities. Disappeared, these Super Hornets are no match for Pakistan's Tomcat fighters. In particular, Pakistan has rich experience after many battles with the Soviets, which is unmatched by U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft pilots.

And now, Bush Sr. wants the U.S. Navy to fight Pakistan. This is actually unwise. The United States does not need war, it needs a peaceful environment and economic development!

The attack on Iraq was actually a bad move, followed by the attack on Iran, dragging the United States back into the quagmire of the Vietnam War. But now Bush Sr. still refuses to give up and wants to fight the Pakistanis again! If this fight continues, the result will be the destruction of the United States!

With so much foreign debt, how can the United States repay it? The United States is now following the same path as the Soviet Union! Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Poindexter couldn't help but feel regretful.

It's a pity that I am a soldier. Soldiers cannot participate in politics. The basic system of the United States since the founding of the country is civilian rule, and the military is just a tool.

"Report, early warning aircraft have discovered 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 Pakistanis actually ran from the west to the east of the Maldives Islands! This makes it easy for me to find a meal! Fortunately, now that the early warning aircraft has discovered the opponent, reconnaissance satellites will follow to locate the opponent's main force, and then conduct a surprise attack to severely damage the opponent's formation!

Strangely enough, until now, the two sides have not officially declared war, but the battle at sea is unfolding.

On the two aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft are continuously catapulted and taken off. The Super Hornet mounted on the air superiority unit carries a large number of AIM-120 missiles and AIM-9 missiles, while the Super Hornet on the attack mission carries the Fish. Fork anti-ship missiles and one attack will completely destroy the opponent's maritime strength!

Although the Tomcat fighter jets are terrible, the United States still has countermeasures. When the Tomcat fighter jets were sold to Pakistan at a bargain price, the Americans kept them for backup! Now, it’s time to come up with this backup plan! (To be continued ~^~)
