In Fang Shijie's surprised eyes, the Japanese nation not only made a fuss in the country, but even sent two warships to hang around near the four northern islands, as if they wanted to use force to coerce Fang Shijie into submission.

Fang Shijie couldn't figure out where the Japanese people's confidence came from. Do they want to compete with his powerful naval warships with just a few broken ships?

Even now, Fang Shijie has no intention of taking action against the Japanese country. Just like a three-year-old child holding a toy pistol in front of a soldier, Fang Shijie really has no need to vent his anger on them.

But what annoyed Fang Shijie was that after Japan saw no response to their provocative actions, they actually announced that they would hold live-fire military exercises near the four northern islands.

"Grandma! The Japanese country is indeed a country that pushes beyond its limits. You guys deserve a beating!" Fang Shijie had already had the idea of ​​taking action at this time.

Of course, Fang Shijie would not think that the Japanese state was crazy. There must be a deep reason behind their move. He immediately launched an investigation into the matter to see if the Japanese state would show such a hegemonic attitude.

The Planet Guardian satellite system is very complex. It monitors a wide range and has a huge amount of information. Although it has a crisis warning system, if the crisis does not reach a certain level, it will not provide comprehensive warnings, otherwise Fang Shijie would

Just looking at these trivial things makes me busy every day.

Fang Shijie immediately began to check the development of Japanese affairs, but he did not see a significant increase in Japan's military strength. Although Japan had just taken over two Burke-class destroyers and four outdated Perry-class frigates

, but these two types of warships were beaten to pieces by Fang Shijie many times, so there was nothing to worry about. This may also be the reason why the Planet Guardian system did not send an early warning to Fang Shijie.

However, when Fang Shijie was investigating the Japanese incident, he discovered some anomalies about the Americans.

Since the Planet Guardian system has not yet fully covered the world, and the United States is in a semi-blind spot, and Fang Shijie is busy on the Soviet battlefield these days, he lacks a certain degree of understanding of the recent military dynamics of the United States. Despite this, Fang Shijie still looks at it from its side.

I learned about several surprising changes in the United States.

The most eye-catching are the two "Zumwalt" class destroyers recently launched by the United States.

The "Zumwalt" class destroyer is almost a replica of Fang Shijie's cruiser. Whether it is the island-shaped building or the weapons equipped on it, it is trying to get closer to Fang Shijie's cruiser.

First of all, in terms of appearance, the "Zumwalt" class destroyer is also a large surface ship with extremely strong stealth capabilities. Its superstructure is slightly different from Fang Shijie's circular structure, that is, it changes from the oval shape of Fang Shijie's cruiser to a trapezoid.

.

Although in appearance, due to the limited design level, the "Zumwalt" class destroyer is still several levels behind Fang Shijie's cruiser, but for such a large destroyer, it has almost reached the pinnacle of the level of shipbuilding in the world today.

.

In addition, what surprised Fang Shijie the most was that the two "Zumwalt" destroyers were not only equipped with a large number of ground, sea, and air attack missiles, they were also equipped with dozens of electromagnetic rail guns!

"What a resemblance! You, Ma, are just like me!" Fang Shijie felt a little in awe of America's powerful military industry.

Of course, the American destroyer has probably started construction a long time ago, but it is undeniable that it probably borrowed many design concepts from Fang Shijie's cruiser during the construction stage and continuously improved it during the production process to become the

It looks like this now.

Not to mention other things, at least the dozens of electromagnetic rail guns equipped on it must have been inspired by Fang Shijie's cruiser, and then they were equipped in large numbers on this battleship.

The "Zumwalt" class destroyer has a displacement of 15,000 tons, while Fang Shijie's cruiser, from the appearance point of view, is about 15,000 tons. There is not much difference between the two.

They are nominally destroyers, but in terms of tonnage, the "Zumwalt" class destroyers are already considered cruisers.

The surface firepower and anti-ship capabilities of this type of destroyer are three times higher than their previous "Ticonderoga" class cruiser, and its air defense capability is more than ten times greater than the latter's. This shows that its

The fighting power is terrifying.

After Fang Shijie saw the latest American destroyer with a touch of science fiction, he somewhat understood why Japan suddenly became so confident.

Although the electromagnetic railgun on Fang Shijie's cruiser has shown its power in many battles, due to its small caliber, its range is only more than 100 kilometers. However, the railgun on the American "Zumwalt" class destroyer has a range of

It has traveled 370 kilometers. From this point of view, it seems that the American warship is more advanced.

However, Fang Shijie doesn't think so, because his cruiser not only has small-caliber rails, but also large-caliber rail guns, and its rail gun's firing rate far exceeds the Soviet Union's rail gun. This is not true.

Lost to the new destroyer of the United States.

However, Fang Shijie did not dare to take this type of American destroyer lightly. At least within the effective range of the electromagnetic railgun on the "Zhu Ma Walter" destroyer, his warship did not have very good defense means. The electromagnetic railgun projectile has a super high

Due to the characteristics of speed, if his missiles are to be intercepted, the success rate is very low.

What makes Fang Shijie even more alarmed is that with the launch of these two new destroyers in the United States, the United States has quietly started production of two more similar destroyers. It may not be long before such advanced destroyers are everywhere on the world's seas.

The figure of the battleship. By then, Fang Shijie's fleet will have a powerful opponent, which is not good news for Fang Shijie.

Fang Shijie's worries don't stop there. From this type of American destroyer, he saw the United States' strong military scientific research capabilities and production capabilities. This is what Fang Shijie is most worried about.

Since the United States can equip their new destroyers with a large number of rail guns, they can also modify the weapons on the warships in service into more powerful electromagnetic rails. In this way, the interception system on the Fang Shijie warship will be greatly challenged.

However, Fang Shijie also believes that it is unrealistic for the United States to equip a large number of this new type of destroyer, because it is said that the cost of a single ship of their "Zumwalt" class destroyer exceeds 3.5 billion meters. For such an expensive warship, even if

Even the United States cannot afford it. Although with the increase in production and the maturity of technology, the price of this type of destroyer will eventually be reduced to a certain level. I am afraid that it will far exceed the cost of ordinary cruisers. Therefore, Fang Shijie feels that the United States cannot be as equipped as the equipment expert.

Like the K-class destroyers, dozens of them will come out at once.

New equipment from the United States appears one after another. Maybe this is the reason why the Japanese are shaking up again. As loyal lackeys of the Americans, the Japanese are likely to import various new equipment from the United States in the future. They think they have the ability to fight against Fang Shijie, so

Then he started to show his teeth and claws again.

When Fang Shijie discovered that the new American warship was launched, he also noticed one thing from all aspects, that is, Japan took the initiative to stir up trouble with Fang Shijie, and there was still the shadow of the American people behind it.

Although the two "Zumwalt" class destroyers have not been launched for a long time, they have already conducted several secret test launches. Fang Shijie suspects that they already have a certain degree of combat effectiveness. With Fang Shijie's powder keg, it is impossible for the United States to follow suit step by step.

The two warships were allowed to undergo several months or even years of running-in exercises before entering combat order.

According to the intelligence collected by the Planet Guardian system, Fang Shijie realized that the two new American warships would depart from the mainland for Hawaii in a week. This American military operation reminded him of the USS Ford aircraft carrier that had just withdrawn to Hawaii.

There may be unknown connections between them.

At a time when the United States was experiencing frequent changes, the Japanese nation blatantly provoked chaos in the four northern islands. How could there be no mystery in it?

Faced with this new situation, Fang Shijie did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered the cruiser "Weiyuan" and the amphibious assault ship "Dumalan" located in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to move toward the four northern islands to attack the upcoming Japanese invasion.

Military exercises are closely monitored.

Although the four northern islands are not large, there are already thousands of Chinese immigrants on them. Even if it is just to ensure the safety of the civilians above, Fang Shijie has to be on strict guard.

Since the devastating blow to the Japanese naval and air forces, the Japanese people have been depressed. The once most powerful East Asian empire suddenly fell into the clouds and became a laughing stock of the entire world. This made the proud Japanese people feel extremely shameful. But this

After a few days, the faces of the Japanese people finally improved a little, and many people recovered from their sluggish state.

"My powerful Japanese country has finally stood up!"

"Our naval forces are already on the road to regaining the four northern islands!"

"If the great hero understands current affairs, he'd better return our four northern islands obediently! Otherwise, what awaits them will be our merciless military attack!"

In fact, if the Japanese people were a little more sober, they should have seen that the Japanese people were just a pawn on the chessboard between the heroes and the United States. They could not dominate the battle and could not play a decisive role. However, the Japanese people, who have extremely strong self-esteem,

Now there is so much need to save the lost face that many people have been carried away by the fanaticism, thinking that they are the Japanese country a hundred years ago, and that they still have the most powerful and invincible navy in Asia.

"Although the great hero is very powerful, he is now facing two powerful enemies, the United States and the Soviet Union. He may become a flash in the pan at any time, and our Japanese country is the death sickle that sends him to hell!"

People are already gearing up. (To be continued...)
