Russia, a group of barbarians who have been living on the Eastern European plains for hundreds of years, have built aircraft carriers and a large number of combat ships to compete with the United States for maritime power?

Sitting on the head of the oval table and listening to the adjutant explaining the fleet's combat plan, Lieutenant General Pratt was a little distracted.

The war is imminent, and William Pratt is considering more about the destiny of the United States than about the situation of the war; this idea seems to be a soldier to be inactive, but as a politician said, the prestige of the United States is based on the deterrence of the US military, and the global dominance of the US Navy is the top priority of this chain. As a result, now, the deterrence is ineffective and if he really wants to fight the life and death with the Russians, as the commander, he will of course be uneasy, and he does not know whether the young men in the fleet can complete this glorious and arduous task.

The general was still distracted, but the adjutant who was instructed to explain the task was very attentive, holding a laser pen in his hand and talking nonstop:

"... Regarding the position of the main force of the Russian fleet, the latest information shows that the Russian aircraft carrier formation is still lagging behind, and it is speculated that its coordinates are here,

——Here, it is about five hundred nautical miles away.

So, according to a series of combat plans previously formulated by the staff, we should now act immediately and send a wave of "Hornet" fighter jets to launch an attack on the main force of Russian surface ships using air-to-ship missiles.

As for the preferred target, the wisest thing now is not to attack Russian aircraft carriers. Instead, the Russian surface, underwater anti-ship missile launch platform, which poses a major threat to our ships; the problem of submarines. It is not enough to worry about it for the time being. So the VFAs' first task is-" while saying and gestured, the red highlight of the laser pen swayed back and forth in the northwest of the fleet, "jumping straight to the location of the Russian surface ship formation, under the cover of the "Tomcat", break through the Russian fighter intercept line and eliminate these surface ships carrying large anti-ship missiles."

"Thomson, what you mentioned is just a plan to lure the enemy. Is it?"

"Sir Jensen, you're completely right,"

The battle was about to begin soon, and the discussion atmosphere in the command room was very serious. The adjutant simply called the general's name to let everyone relax a little:

"The attack in this direction is indeed not expected to be eliminated in the plan.

However, it is conceivable that in the face of our air offensive, the Russians must send a large number of fighter jets to cover their main anti-ship platforms, including the severely threatened SGN (subma Japanese_ship_guide_spliers private_nuclear.cruise missile nuclear submarines), so that we have no time to take care of other things. We can—”

“——What should I do if ‘counter fire’?

Now it’s four o’clock in the morning, and the information says that Ivans have already made a big move!”

"The threat of 'counterfire'?

Then let’s dispatch the ‘Tongcat’, what’s there to worry about!”

Just now, Lieutenant General William Pratt suddenly spoke to everyone, facing everyone's eyes, Lieutenant General seemed to be angry by a polar bear, stood up and walked towards the adjutant with a gloomy face, took the laser pen in his hand, and made a generous speech to the general and the staff:

"At present, don't think so much, all ships will act according to the scheduled plan!

Sbanther, your "Washington" is responsible for attacking Russian surface formations. In addition to air defense fighters, dispatch all available "Super Hornets" and must create pressure on the opponent and hold back the Russian fighter jets; George, "Kennedy" concentrates all fighter jets to form a dense fighter interception line on the periphery of the fleet, and leave a squadron of "Tomcats" and wait for a signal from the front to eject it immediately and intercept the "Counter Fire"!

As for the 'Theodore Roosevelt', I will personally take charge and act as a reserve team to guard against the Russians' tricks."

He shouted at his subordinates. In fact, these combat plans had been finalized before. Now, seeing the generals and staff of the United States, many of them were worried, and they clearly lacked confidence in the upcoming battle. The rest of the guys were full of confidence and ignorant of the world. William Pratt repeated it again. He hoped that his subordinates could understand that although the situation of the battle is not optimistic, the maritime power of the United States still had a considerable advantage. As long as there was no problem with command and specific actions, they could defeat the damn Russians.

So now, don’t be afraid of any Russian fleet, even the bombers flying from the sky!

The "Counterfire" bombers that broke through the air, the big guys who roared hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, are of course more threatening than the polar bear's surface ships and submarines.

But now, there are more than 150 aircraft in command of three nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carriers that can directly perform combat missions, which is more than the total number of air force fighters in most countries in the world. Even in the face of the massive attacks of the Russians, the fleet is still far from land. It is conceivable that Ivan's bombers cannot be escorted by land-based fighters. With those "sea fenders" alone, do you still need to worry about the clumsy "counter-fire" breaking through the outer air defense circle of the aircraft carrier formation?

The plan has been conveyed before. There is no need to talk nonsense at this time. The Lieutenant General quickly disbanded the generals who sat together for meetings and asked them to return to their own warships. After the operation began, the dispatching and coordination between the surface ships, fighter squadrons and support fighter jets could be fully responsible for the dispatching and coordination between the surface ships, fighter squadrons and support fighter jets. Once the command orders, the rapid release of carrier-based aircraft can be immediately started.

The personnel dispersed and each rushed towards their own combat positions, stayed in the combat command room, and the command organization of the aircraft carrier battle group that kept in touch with the direction of Hawaii was operating at high speed.

The data returned by the early warning aircraft in the front are compared with the battlefield information sent from the rear to estimate the general direction of the Russian fleet. The first wave of attack does not need to be too accurate for the Americans. Anyway, this is just a feint to attract the attention of the opponent. As long as the attack aircraft formation is roughly reliable, the nervous Russians will definitely fight back. Then, according to the pre-war deduction of Lieutenant General Pratt and a group of staff, the number of u.s.navy attack aircraft groups with the dominant number will definitely be able to hold the Russians' fighter jets, and may even achieve some results. Next, the Russians can only rely on their limited number of "sea fenders" to run around, and failure is inevitable.

A long-distance battle of victory and defeat seems to be huge, but in fact it is just a correlation between several key elements.

Now it seems that the analysis of the Pacific Command is correct. The Russians' weakness is that there are too few fighter planes. Even if there are too many threats in the air and underwater, without a group of fighter planes to protect them, what threat can it pose to the defense circle of the United States' iron-clad aircraft carrier battle group?

Considering this, Lieutenant General Pratt called on the staff to stand by in the combat command room, ready to dispatch troops to launch an attack at any time, and quickly left and took the elevator back to the island of the "Theodore Roosevelt". He planned to watch the elite sea and air elites of the United States on the aviation bridge, and sailed all the way with accurate intelligence guidance, throwing the criticized "harpoons" and "whaling forks" on the Russians' forehead.

Since the Philippine War, the United States has always been the master of the world's oceans for nearly a hundred years. Now it is equivalent to fighting at home, and failure is never tolerated!

"Even for dignity, you must not lose." My mind was filled with some thoughts, and the general who came out of the elevator strode towards the bridge.

Faced with the war, the generals were excited, but for the soldiers on the front line of the war, it was a completely different feeling.

The twilight in the second half of the night was dark, and time was approaching dawn bit by bit. At this darkest moment before sunrise, on the USS CVN-71 "Theodore Roosevelt" aircraft carrier that was breaking the waves forward, accompanied by the "brushing" sound of swelling waves, the release and recycling of the fighter planes are still in full swing.

Located in the center of the entire three-aircraft carrier battle group, the USS Theodore Roosevelt was responsible for maintaining the air defense ring inside the entire combat group. At this time, two off-white f/a-18e fighter jets with flat wings were on the 1st and 2nd ejection positions were ready to go. They had just returned from patrol missions, and the fuselage had also been hung with a sub-fuel tank and four heavy "Immortal Birds" that had just landed on the deck and slowly glided to the stoppage area beside them.

The fighter planes glided into place one by one. At a time when the air threat level was not too high, the two landed F-14Ds can be returned to the hangar for maintenance and refueling.

While waiting for the lift to take its seat, the narrow hatch on the thick fuselage of the "Super Cat" opened upwards. The young pilot who completed the mission climbed down the boarding ladder and jumped onto the rough and cold aircraft carrier deck, while taking off his flight helmet and breathing in the cold and salty sea breeze.

Like the front-seat pilot, he jumped off the land plane and moved his legs a few times on the spot. The radar operator Pearson greeted the ground crew who came to tow the fighter and hurriedly signed and confirmed the battle record. Before the two of them could wait for the electric car along the way, they walked towards the ship island. While walking, they turned their heads to look at the roar of the engine. They happened to witness the engine being fully revitalized, and the tail flame was like a ball of dazzling stars flying off.

Accompanied by the catapult action, a ray of white steam rose in the dark light, and the outline f/a-18 "Super Bumblebee" was vaguely visible. It quickly disappeared in the boundless darkness, with only a dazzling tail nozzle, leaving a foggy blurred afterimage on the viewer's retina.

"Let's go,—Shawn?"

Stop a few meters away and watched the scene of the fighter jet ejection and takeoff with his partner. Pearson, who followed, was a little confused about what was good about the scene that the fighter jet ejection and takeoff was like a common sight on aircraft carriers.
