A day of war passed, and the "God of Death" that appeared over the Black Sea was far from over, but the shock caused by NATO was far from over.

In the evening of that day, a joint meeting of the three armed forces was in full swing at the office of the US Central Command in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. As the easternmost member of NATO, Turkey has always been under the responsibility of the US European Command; but since the war broke out in Europe and the rolling red iron streams destroyed the fragile defense line of the Iberian Peninsula, the country was temporarily assigned to the unified operation under the US Central Command.

Judging from the current combat situation on the Black Sea and the Caucasus front line, this decision is quite wise.

In the spacious and bright conference room, on the large projection screen hanging on the wall, there is a military map of one to one. Two million. The thin red light shot out from the laser pointer, illuminating the unsteady red flares on the projection screen.

With the sound of the air conditioner running, the intelligence officer sent by the local CIA was explaining in detail the latest developments of the Warsaw Pact Group. The man wore a shirt and trousers and tied a tie, which formed a sudden contrast with the officers in a large military uniform. While holding a laser pen to gesture back and forth on the screen, he switched the screen from time to time. The man spitted and introduced the overall situation of the current Caucasus war zone, and then sat down to leave time to the military's lecturer.

"So, cough..."

As Air Force Admiral Clark, who was sitting on the table, signaled that a dark-skinned major general beside him opened the folder and cleared his throat before speaking, as if he was a little confident in his explanation:

"Dear colleagues, the progress of the air strikes in the past week has been made. The documents sent to you contain very detailed statistics and analysis. Next, I will briefly report on the major events that happened today. Hum... about the reappearance of 'Victor Rezenov' in the Caucasus."

"snort--,"

As the major general finished his voice, he sat on the other side of the long table, and the middle-aged general in the army uniform groaned,

"You're talking about the 'Caucasus Death', and he appeared in the war zone again?"

Hearing the rude questions from his colleagues with doubts, the Major General seemed a little embarrassed, but he could only respond without any temper:

"Yes. The encounter that broke out over the Black Sea today, we lost a total of six fighter jets, and the search and rescue of the parachuting pilot is still in progress. Based on reports sent by all parties, especially Lieutenant Colonel Johnson of the Eighth Wing, we basically confirmed that this encounter was caused by the "Caucasus Death"; this Russian ace, who once caused great trouble, appeared again after disappearing for more than half a month, which is not good news for us."

"Oh, I think that's the same."

When he heard the weak speech of the Air Force, he seemed to be defeated by the Russian ace who was rampant in the sky. He came from the aircraft carrier and Major General Lawrence, who participated in this joint meeting of the three armies, echoed lightly.

After the last joint operation of Lieutenant General Mark Mitchell, which was designed by Lieutenant General Mark Mitchell, who dispatched dozens of fighter jets of the Navy and Air Force but still failed to solve the problem of "Death", the Navy no longer had too much confidence in the command and coordination capabilities of the Air Force and the pilot's combat power, or the same is true for its own pilots. To put it bluntly, Major General Lawrence has now clearly realized that in the huge combat sequence of the US Navy and Air Force, there is no ace pilot who can match "Death" at all; and if you still want to rely on wolf pack tactics to subdue the Russian with a vast sea of ​​aircraft-

Please. The last time I lost a crushing defeat in the Caucasus, I lost the cruel reality of fighting a fighter. This is enough to dispel anyone's idea of ​​continuing to bet!

Thinking of this, Lawrence did not question the angry question as if he was about to go to war, but still could not ensure safety on his head. He just raised a very realistic question with a calm expression:

"General Clark, the command's instructions to the Navy are to cooperate with the "climb-shaped offensive" that the Army will soon launch, launch a large-scale amphibious attack in the direction of the Black Sea, and cooperate with the operations of the ground forces through naval ship landing, helicopter landing and long-range fire support.

But the problem now is: if we do not get strong cover from the air force, frankly speaking, the navy's aircraft carriers cannot pass through the Turkish Strait, which has been controlled by Russian shore-based anti-ship missiles; and if we lose the strong cover of the fighter force, we do not directly launch an offensive and have the confidence to complete the mission under the intensive firepower of the Russians."

"—We are the same! Faced with the heavy army clusters of Russians in Southeast Europe and the Caucasus, relying on ground attacks alone, I don't believe that the Turks will use their lives like our young men; if they cannot maintain enough air pressure and block the Russian tactical strike planes from the front line, the so-called "two weeks to advance to the north coast of the Black Sea" is just a piece of nothing!"

"Okay, okay! gentlemen."

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples with some difficulty. General Clark waved his hand impatiently, asking his colleagues present to temporarily stop these meaningless complaints and criticize each other. He took off his glasses and looked at the generals in uniforms at the long table. He suddenly felt that the scene was very funny. These battlefield veterans who also swore under the Stars and Stripes, as well as their subordinates who were waiting for the battle, have now reached the point where they would not fight without air support?

If this is the case, then it will be much worse than the Russians they have always looked down upon!

Moreover, what is "providing strong cover" - the general flipped the printed records in front of him casually. In the past January, the NATO Tactical Air Force has lost nearly 200 fighter jets in the Caucasus, as well as almost the same number of air crew members. The Russians' air force is still active as usual, with almost no sign of being suppressed.

Thinking of the Middle East, which is not far from Ankara, the general was almost distracted for a moment. He was recalling the "Desert Storm" operation five years ago. How great would it be if his opponents were like the Saddam regime, just one week to completely obtain air supremacy on the battlefield.

Indeed, in the face of the strong and irritable polar bear, this idea was indeed dreaming in the daytime; but in the face of the unreasonable accusations from his colleagues, the general immediately responded firmly:

"We all know the instructions sent by the Pentagon. So, I personally agree with you: that is, to launch a large-scale attack from the Turkish Strait and the Caucasus Corridor at the same time, it is not only due to the efforts of our colleagues in the Navy."

Speaking of this, the general glanced at Major General Lawrence, who was expressionless,
Chapter completed!
