On July 1, a cargo ship with the Saudi royal logo set out from Jeddah Port and headed towards the direction from the Gulf of Aden.
The US soldiers on patrol did not conduct too much investigation on the ship and quickly released it.
On the same morning, the Star Ring Trade Navy and the Moro Navy launched a joint military exercise in the Western Pacific.
Not only limited to maritime anti-ship and anti-submarine air defense exercises, this joint military exercise also includes landing operations and urban street combat subjects, code-named Defence Determination, which lasts for three days.
Although this military exercise finally turned into a single show of Star Ring Trade showing off its high-tech equipment, it still achieved the effect Jiang Chen wanted and made a clear position towards NATO, which was angry.
If NATO launches retaliatory military operations against the Moro, Star Ring Trade will never sit idly by.
If you want to expand the battle beyond South America, then consider it carefully.
The third day of the military exercise.
Five guardian-class frigates modified with Type 50 J electromagnetic guns lined up at sea, and more than ten other types of ships such as anti-submarine destroyers, missile cruisers, supply ships, submarines, etc. sailed around.
Apart from the absence of aircraft carriers, the fleet's lineup is no less than any aircraft carrier battle group in the world.
Standing side by side with Ivan in the flagship bridge, Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the satellite image on the holographic screen.
Under the Sky Eye military satellite of the Star Ring Trade, there is no secret on the sea surface of the Pacific Ocean.
The positions of both the enemy and us are marked on this satellite image, and various distance, direction and speed parameters are listed.
Santos also stood inside the bridge with the Moro naval officers, watching the holographic screen floating directly in front of him.
Everything here is something rare for them, especially the satellite image that can mark the positions of our enemies and us. A discerning person can see at a glance what this means for naval warfare in the information age.
Unfortunately, there is no aircraft carrier.
If the Star Ring Navy had an aircraft carrier, in the face of such a huge information advantage, there would be no opponent in the world who could compete with this fleet.
Standing in the audience, someone sighed with regret.
In today's naval thinking, aircraft carriers are the core of a fleet and the soul of a fleet.Fleets without aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are incomplete.
In fact, when it comes to the issue of aircraft carriers, Jiang Chen had considered developing the Star Ring Navy's aircraft carrier before, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.
First of all, Jiang Chen does not intend to waste too much production capacity of future human and military industry on the sea, so he has no plan to build a warship from beginning to end.
Most of the warships of Star Ring Trade are produced from Russian shipyards and then taken to the ports of Xinguo. The future military industry will undergo secondary modifications.
The Russians were willing to sell aircraft carriers to Star Ring Trade, but the willingness here was limited to conventional-powered aircraft carriers.
There is no need to think about core technologies such as nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Even if the relationship is in iron, it is useless, just like Star Ring Trade will not sell the Type 50 electromagnetic guns.
The difficulty of converting conventional-powered aircraft carriers into nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is not the same level as the difficulty of replacing the main gun on a guardian frigate.
Of course, it is not technically impossible, it is just that there is no need.
After all, the ultra-long cruise radius of Aurora-20 is not very meaningful whether it has an aircraft carrier.
The horizontal distance is 127 nautical miles, and the target is locked.
emission!
The missile cruiser's launch hole opened, accompanied by a whimpering roar, and the orange swords rushed towards the sky one after another.
In the sea area 127 nautical miles away, six waste goods as target ships were arranged in triangular formations at the sea, sailing towards Guam at a speed of 20 knots.
There were six missiles in total, all hitting, and none of them left the target.
Explosive flames bloomed one after another, and the freighter pointed to the link and sank towards the seabed.
When the high-altitude drone sent the image of the target ship destroying it back into the bridge, the explosion of black smoke was floating a thin line from the junction of the sea and sky. Captain Lei put down the telescope in his hand and turned around to salute Jiang Chen and Ivan.
Report to the head, and the target is confirmed and destroyed!All six shots were hit, and none of them left the target!
There was applause from the audience, not only Morocco representatives, but also from China, Russia, Germany, and even Japan. The expressions on their faces were without exception.
There is nothing wrong with all six shots, and they can do it even if they are unmanned.
What really surprised them was the cruise speed of the Star Ring Trade anti-ship missile...
Are you sure that's not a shell?
After the report was completed, Lei Zheng returned to the captain's post and began to prepare for the next stage of drill under the command.
Retracting his gaze from the satellite image, Jiang Chen looked at Ivan.
What is the next subject?
The maritime drill subjects have been completed, and the next one is island landing operations.Ivan replied.
It's time to test new equipment.
Jiang Chen and Ivan looked at each other and grinned.
……
Finally, the opportunity to perform in Morocco has come.
Of course, they are poor and cannot afford big guys like cruisers and frigates that often cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but dozens of rubber boats can still be collected.
Login combat is the only drill subject they can perform.
The guardian-class frigates lined up on the sea, and four thick and long J-type electromagnetic guns aimed at the coast from afar. Glorious white light flashed one after another, orange-yellow ballistics cut through the sky, and balls of explosions were connected to a fixed shelter on the shore.
After a round of firepower coverage, the large transport ship of Star Ring Trade dropped the charge boat.Most of the people lying on the charge boat were army soldiers from the Moro.
Almost at the same time as the charge boat was put down, thirty "crocodile" type 20 amphibious assault vehicles suddenly broke out of the sea about fifteen meters away from the coast, like crocodiles snatching their positions on the beach.
As soon as they rushed to the beach, the well-equipped Star Ring Marines quickly logged in from behind the crocodile, followed the amphibious assault vehicle and attack drone, and advanced towards the bombed position together.
At the same time, the landing craft of the Moro also rushed to the shore. Soldiers wearing military green camouflage rushed to the beach with light weapons, quickly seized the fixed bunkers bombed by ship guns, and raised small red flags on bunkers and machine gun positions.
Before the landing battle began, Jiang Chen came from the bridge to the side of the ship.
Compared to the narrow command tower, the view here is wider and clearer.
Holding the railing on the side of the boat, Jiang Chen put down the telescope in his hand and squinted his eyes at the shore.
Feeling the sea breeze blowing, under the pride of his spirit, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up and said to Ivan who was standing next to him.
I always feel that something is missing there.
What's missing?Ivan asked immediately.
It's in that position.Jiang Chen pointed at the shore casually and said with a smile, "Don't you think there is still a statue of Liberty missing?"
Ivan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
Do I want someone to build a building there and then re-exercise it?
No.Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head, waved his hand, saying, If that day really comes, it will be no longer an exercise.
The US soldiers on patrol did not conduct too much investigation on the ship and quickly released it.
