Great Power Technology

After the order was issued, until Formation 003 left the port of Djibouti two weeks later, almost no one slept in Camp Lemonnier.

Schneider and Wood, who were originally full of ambitions, were almost driven crazy by the planes taking off and landing day and night. They couldn't understand how such a small aircraft carrier could take off and land hundreds of aircraft in one day. of aircraft sorties.

What makes them even more incomprehensible is that almost all of these aircraft are heavy fighter jets. In addition to the J-20H and J-16J that they are familiar with, there are also a small number of J-35s, which have just entered service and they have not yet mastered certain types of models. Early warning aircraft.

These planes took off from the deck with extremely high frequency. At most, they could even observe 6 different types of planes taking off at the same time.

Fighters and early warning aircraft took off from the three catapult runways, J-20H took off from the vertical take-off and landing point, anti-submarine helicopters took off from any position, and Wujian-9 reconnaissance aircraft was launched from the catapult at the edge of the deck.

Even our most advanced aircraft carriers cannot achieve this density of takeoffs and landings. Especially the simultaneous operation of three electromagnetic ejection runways will bring huge challenges to the ship's integrated power system.

Maybe this situation is just "awesome" to outsiders, but for an army like theirs that claims to have grown up on the backs of aircraft, it is simply like alien technology.

Only then did they finally feel the fear of being dominated - especially after being awakened by sudden sonic booms for several days in a row.

Schneider's spirit was almost on the verge of collapse. He walked out of the barracks in a daze. The clear sky was in front of him, but in his eyes, it was as lifeless as a black and white photo.

In the past five days, his effective sleep time has not exceeded 10 hours in total. No matter how he adjusts his sleep time and tries to cover his ears, the situation has not improved at all.

You must know that the sonic boom produced by the opponent flying almost close to the ground reaches more than 140 decibels, while the sound of the detonation bomb commonly used in the army at close range is only 170 decibels - a detonation bomb can directly shock Broken eardrums, causing permanent brain damage and organ disability.

Although this situation cannot be said to be continuously dropping range-strike blast bombs into the camp, it is at least equivalent to dozens of artillery guns continuously firing in their ears.

It may not feel so overwhelming when you are awake, but what if you are not allowed to sleep?

An uncontrollable guilt suddenly arose in his heart.

Maybe I shouldn't have treated my colleagues in the Djibouti base in that way before. If we hadn't taken action first, how could the other party have retaliated so cruelly?

He looked blankly at the fighter plane flying in the sky again. He recognized it as a J-20 called "Vyron". He was already very familiar with this fighter plane, even familiar with it with his bare hands. He could draw three views of its fuselage, but now, he felt an unprecedented fear from this aircraft.

The plane seemed to be really like a giant dragon with fangs and claws, flying through the sky with a thunderous roar, crushing the ants on the ground with its incomparable power.

As the figure of the fighter plane gradually faded away, some kind of hallucination appeared in front of his eyes.

He felt that he had become a warrior on an ancient battlefield, wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, while the sun in the distance turned into the evil eye, and the sharp light pierced his brain, killing him. All the negative emotions in my heart evaporated.

Anger, fear, madness, pain. He felt dizzy and walked towards the hangar uncontrollably.

There is his car and his horse. He will ride on his horse and then kill all the enemies.

Everything went smoothly, and he entered the hangar without any hindrance. The B-1B Lancer bomber was waiting for his arrival as quietly as ever. He stroked the skin of the fighter plane, his hands cold. The touch made him moan with satisfaction.

Then, he moved the "stirrup" in sight from the side of the hangar. Following the "stirrup", he boarded the cockpit of the aircraft. Many people rushed from a distance to stop him, but he He waved the sharp sword in his hand and drove all those people away.

"Monsters, all monsters!"

A hoarse and low roar came from Schneider's mouth, and he found that his hands were stained with blood, which made him even more excited.

The war horse is right under his crotch, and the enemy...

Enemies in the sky?

But how can his war horse reach the sky?

He looked under him in confusion, but before he could think clearly, there was a sudden sharp pain in his head, and then his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

There were exclamations all around, and at the last moment of landing, Schneider finally remembered his identity.

——

It's over.

That was his last thought before his neck snapped.

Two hours after Schneider's accident, the Djibouti base received a call from Camp Lemonnier. The person who answered the phone was Liu Yijun, who served as the temporary commander. On the other side of the phone was the commander-in-chief of Camp Lemonnier.

".I apologize for the trouble I caused to your base before, but you should also know that it was just a normal, uh, normal training behavior."

"Compared to what you are doing now, we are actually much more restrained - at least we are not flying at supersonic speeds close to the ground, right? You are from the Air Force, and you also know how much noise like that will cause to people on the ground. Influence."

"Today, we have had three cases of mental illness in a row. There was even a highly decorated pilot who almost fell out of the plane to death because of hallucinations - yes, he climbed on the plane, injured himself, and then returned. He fell upside down from a height of nearly three meters."

".No, no, no, of course not for your actions. He is a counter-terrorist hero. Well, he is fine. The gangway saved his life, but his neck is broken."

"I sincerely hope that this kind of training will not continue. We have received your protests, and I can assure you that even after the 003 formation leaves, the previous harassing flights will not happen again. .”

"No, absolutely not. We are all senior military officers, and we all understand the reasons behind the current situation. I think we can reach a consensus on this."

"Two weeks? Sir, it has only been five days. Our soldiers may not be able to survive the other three days."

"I know, I know you've been holding out for a year, but like I said, at least we didn't pull a sonic boom, right?"

"If you insist on doing this, then we may have to counterattack."

"No, that's not what I meant. I'm definitely not provoking a new military confrontation. I'm just saying."

"Forget it. Sir, two weeks is just two weeks, but at least, don't fly anymore until the sun rises, right?"

"."

"Okay. Have a nice day."

With a long sigh, the commander-in-chief of Lemonnier Battalion hung up the phone. Another officer next to him saw his expression and asked tentatively:

"They agreed?"

"No. Prepare a transport plane to send away the soldiers who have recently developed psychological problems. I can't change the other party's decision."

"Understood."

The officer nodded, and then asked reluctantly:

"So, what reason did they use to refuse?"

The commander-in-chief sighed again, and after a long silence he answered:

"Actually, it's not a particularly convincing reason."

"But this reason"

"He said that their training was conducted according to Chinese time."

"Lemonier's sun has not risen, but China's sun has risen."

The high-intensity takeoff and landing training of the No. 003 formation was originally a routine training subject. Even the U.S. military could not find any reason to question this.

Therefore, no matter how much the Lemonnier Battalion protested to their superiors, the only order they received was "Stay where you are and do not allow conflicts."

The senior management really didn't want to expand the conflict during this embarrassing period, because the obvious result would be to slap their face in front of the other party.

The top officials in this country may be bad, but they are not stupid. They know how to assess the situation better than anyone else.

Just a few mentally disturbed soldiers. Too many soldiers suffer from PTSD every year. What do these at Camp Lemonnier count?

Is Camp Lemonnier's strategic position important? Are overseas bases important? Is the South Island important?

It's very important, but compared to their strategy of keeping a low profile and biding their time, this whole thing can be tolerated.

After all, their most important thing at the moment is to use other forces to "slow down" the progress of the South Island incident, thereby buying themselves time.

Now, all their hopes are placed on Francis and the Holy See.
