Chapter 1323 (1/2)

On July 1, a freighter with the mark of Saudi Arabia King's room set out from Jeddah port and headed for leaving the Gulf of Aden. The U.S. soldiers on patrol did not check the ship much and quickly released it.

On the morning of the same day, the star ring trade Navy and the Moro Navy launched a joint military exercise in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Not only limited to sea anti-ship and anti submarine air defense exercises, the joint military exercise also included landing operations and urban street combat subjects, code named ”defense determination”, lasting for three days. Although this military exercise finally turned into a single show of star ring trade to show off high-tech equipment, it still achieved the effect that Jiang Chen wanted - to make clear its position to the angry NATO.

If NATO launches retaliatory military action against Moro, star ring trade will never stand idly by.

If you want to expand the war beyond South America, think about it.

The third day of the drill.

Five guard class frigates refitted with 50 type J electromagnetic guns are in line on the sea, and the rest are more than 10, such as anti submarine destroyers, missile cruisers, supply ships, submarines and so on. In addition to the absence of aircraft carriers, this fleet is no inferior to any other carrier battle group in the world.

Standing side by side with Ivan in the flagship bridge, Jiang Chen squints at the satellite image on the holographic screen.

Under the ”eye of heaven” military satellite of satellite ring trade, there is no secret on the sea surface of the Pacific Ocean. The positions of both the enemy and the enemy are marked on this satellite image, and various parameters of distance, direction and velocity are listed.

Santos, with Moro Navy officers, stood in the bridge and marveled at the holographic screen floating in front of him. Everything here is very rare for them, especially the satellite image that can mark the position of enemy and ourselves. People can see at a glance what it means for naval warfare in the information age.

”Unfortunately, there is no aircraft carrier.”

”If the starring navy has an aircraft carrier, in the face of such a huge information advantage, we can't find a rival to compete with this fleet.”

Standing in the audience, there was a sigh of regret.

In today's naval thought, aircraft carrier is the core of a fleet and the soul of a fleet. A fleet without an aircraft carrier or aircraft is incomplete.

In fact, when it comes to the issue of aircraft carrier, Jiang Chen has considered developing an aircraft carrier for the star ring Navy 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 people's military industry on the sea, so there is no plan to build warships from the beginning to the end. Most of the warships of star ring trade are produced from Russian shipyards, and then transported to the ports of new countries for secondary refitting by the future military industry.

The Russians are willing to sell the aircraft carrier to the star ring trade, but the willingness here is limited to conventional powered aircraft carriers. For example, nuclear powered aircraft carriers need not think about the core technology, even if it is related to iron, just like the star ring trade will not sell the 50 type electromagnetic gun.

The difficulty of refitting a conventional powered aircraft carrier into a nuclear powered aircraft carrier is not a level compared with the difficulty of replacing the main gun on a guard class frigate. Of course, it's not impossible to do it technically, but it's just unnecessary.

After all, the ultra long cruise radius of aurora-20 is not of great significance if there is an aircraft carrier.

”127 nautical miles, target locked.”

”Launch!”

The launch hole of the missile cruiser opens, and the orange sword darts into the sky with the roar of ”Wuwu”.

A hundred and twenty-seven nautical miles away, six old and used target ships were deployed in a triangular formation at a speed of 20 knots in the direction of Guam.

A total of six missiles, all hit, no miss.

The firelight of the explosion broke out one after another, and the freighter linked and sank to the bottom of the sea.

When the high-altitude UAV shot the target ship back to the bridge, the black smoke from the explosion was floating a thin line from the sea sky junction. The captain Lei Zheng put down his telescope and saluted Jiang Chen and Yi Wan.

”Report chief, target confirmation, destroy! Six hits, no miss

Applause broke out in the audience, including not only representatives of Morocco, but also those from China, Russia, Germany, and even Japan, all with a trace of surprise on their faces.
