Chapter 54: Fleet Confrontation
June 25, 4:36 pm.
In the southern waters of the Arabian Sea, a huge fleet consisting of 12 warships and 1 aircraft carrier is plowing through the waves.
From a distance, they look like 13 steel fortresses floating on the sea. There is no doubt that this is one of the most powerful fleets on Blue Star.
On the hulls of these warships, uniform words are printed - [World Military Industrial Group]
Obviously, this fleet belongs to Jiang Cheng.
The outside world has given this fleet a code name, calling them the Universal Fleet.
More than 50 nautical miles away from the Universal Fleet, the Fifth Fleet was clearly in sight.
The distance between the two fleets has shrunk from nearly a thousand nautical miles before to more than 50 nautical miles now.
At such a distance, both are within the missile strike range of the other side.
At the same time, no other ships can be seen in this sea area within a radius of hundreds of nautical miles.
Due to news reports and the speculations of various military experts, ships from various countries have already taken detours and avoided this sea area for fear of being affected by the fish pond.
In the combat command room of the Chengfeng aircraft carrier, Jiang Cheng's eyes were solemn. He kept looking at the radar screen. The picture displayed on it was the icon of the Fifth Fleet.
"Boss, the distance between the Fifth Fleet and us is only 48 nautical miles. The opponent still has no intention of slowing down. Their sailing formation is also in a battle formation." Zhang Zhenhai also looked solemn and did not dare to be careless.
Although the fleet dispatched by the Fifth Fleet is weaker than the Universal Fleet, no one can guarantee that if the two sides start a war, the Universal Fleet will be victorious.
For example, if both sides engage in a large-scale confrontation of missiles, whoever's missiles can fire more missiles, whose missiles can fire accurately, and whose guided missiles can intercept accurately, will win.
With the development of science and technology, the era of giant ships and cannons firing at each other has long passed. Now is the era of precision guidance, air defense and anti-submarine warfare.
In such an era, the tonnage of ships is no longer the decisive force. The power, speed and accuracy of missiles are the decisive force.
To use an analogy, the enemy launched 100 missiles, and we also launched 100 missiles. However, the other side was able to intercept 99 missiles, but we could only intercept 50. Who would win such a war?
"Zhenhai, if there is a fight, what are your chances of winning?" Jiang Cheng turned his head and stared at Zhang Zhenhai, the commander of the Universal Fleet. He needed to hear the most honest answer.
"Boss, although the United Navy is known as the best in the world, this title obviously does not apply to us. Once a war starts, I am sure that we will repel the opponent within half an hour." Zhang Zhenhai said with confidence.
He wasn't exaggerating at all, he was telling the truth.
You must know that the Universal Fleet is produced by the system. Whether it is the strength of the warships, the speed of the missiles, or the quality of the naval officers and soldiers, all aspects of data are obviously better than that of the Fifth Fleet.
When the gap between the two sides is not big, they still have an advantage. If they can't win, then Zhang Zhenhai can commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea.
The most important thing is that all the naval officers and soldiers of the Universal Fleet are not only extremely high in military quality, but also fearless of death.
They are all clones, and the meaning of their existence is to perfectly execute the orders issued by Jiang Cheng. Even if the order is to commit suicide, they will not frown. This is the difference!
"Destroy the opponent within half an hour..." Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Notify the Fifth Fleet via a clear telegram that they are blocking our channel and ask them to get out of the way immediately!"
On the other side, on the Fifth Fleet command ship Warrior.
Vice Admiral William of the Union Navy looked at the telegram handed over by the communications officer and suddenly became furious.
The Huanyu Fleet was so arrogant that they didn't take him seriously at all, and ordered them to get out of the way. Is this possible?
This is the high seas and everyone has the right to sail freely!
"Send this telegram to the Ministry of Defense. By the way, apply to the Ministry of Defense again. I need wartime command authority!" Williamte said with a gloomy face.
To be honest, Williamt really didn't pay attention to the opposite Universal Fleet.
In his opinion, even if Jiang Cheng has an advanced aircraft carrier fleet, he can't train tens of thousands of outstanding naval officers and soldiers!
Williamt even had a suspicion that the naval officers and soldiers on the Universal Fleet might not have even passed their internship period.
Furthermore, naval soldiers who have never experienced war have very poor mental qualities and will collapse after a few missiles.
Hovering between the threat of life and death, who could not be afraid?
…………
At this moment, in the conference room of the Presidential Palace of the United States of America, almost all the senior figures of the United States of America were gathered here.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General William once again applied for wartime command authority..." United States Defense Minister Timas looked at George Mape in the chair, wanting to seek his opinion.
"Does Jiang Cheng's fleet show any signs of weakness?" George Map asked in a deep voice.
"Ten minutes ago, Jiang Cheng's Universal Fleet sent a clear telegram to the Fifth Fleet. They said that the Fifth Fleet was blocking their channel and ordered the 5th Fleet to get out of the way immediately." Speaking of this, Timas said His expression became more and more indifferent, with no emotion visible.
"What..." George Mapu's eyelids twitched, and a little anger emerged from his eyes. He felt that this Jiang Cheng was too arrogant and typical of being arrogant.
"Your Excellency, the majesty of the Navy needs to be maintained. Since Vice Admiral William is eager to obtain wartime command, he must have sufficient confidence. On the sea, even if there is an aircraft carrier fleet on the opposite side, we are still fearless... "The Minister of the Navy of the United States said indifferently.
He agreed with Williamt that he did not think Jiang Cheng's Universal Fleet had much combat effectiveness.
So what if we have an aircraft carrier fleet? Can the naval officers and soldiers on that fleet still compare with the naval officers and soldiers of the Fifth Fleet?
No matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they still need people to operate them, unless they have advanced artificial intelligence.
"We are the overlord of the sea. The United States does not allow a private fleet to exist. This is a serious threat. In addition, Jiang Cheng is from the Dragon Kingdom, and we cannot let this fleet fall into the hands of the Dragon Kingdom."
George Mape's eyes were sharp. He glanced at everyone present and spoke slowly: "Grant Vice Admiral William wartime command authority and inform him that if he is confident enough, he will annihilate the Universal Fleet on the spot!"
Before, Jiang Cheng had a serious conflict of interest with Midland United, and now that he has created a fleet, the conflict of interest is even more serious.
Due to various considerations, the top management of the Midland Alliance unanimously believed that Jiang Cheng's Universal Fleet must be eliminated, because there are many benefits to eliminating Jiang Cheng's Universal Fleet.
This will soon reflect the powerful combat power of the United Navy, and more importantly, the dignity of the United States that cannot be provoked casually.
