West of Malacca, 500 nautical miles. .
The U.S. Seventh Fleet group rode the wind and waves and sailed to Malacca at the fastest speed of the fleet.
On the bridge of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington, Lieutenant General Silver was showing the spy satellite monitoring screen on the wall. He is the commander of the Seventh Fleet.
In the spy satellite surveillance footage on the display wall, Philippine warships are sinking, and the sea is full of Philippine Navy soldiers jumping into the sea.
"This should be the most elite special forces unit in the Chinese navy." Chief of Staff Taylors said.
"You think so?" Silver said.
Telles said: "If it was a terrorist, who would attack the Philippines? And, are there such powerful terrorists in the world?"
Silver said: "If it's not a terrorist, it's someone from China. However, I can't believe that China has such courage and dares to attack the military islands and reefs of the Philippines at this time and fight back. Sink a Philippine frigate.”
"I can't believe it either, but this is the fact." Thales said: "Based on the current situation, the country seems to be ready for war."
Wilshire said: "China, the largest developing country in the world with a population of more than one billion, how dare it challenge us?"
"No, this is not a challenge, this is a standard declaration of war," Telles said.
Wilshire snorted coldly, "Their decision-makers must be crazy. What the United States wants most is for China to get involved in the war. China has always appeared to be very restrained, even if it was attacked, it would swallow its anger. The Yugoslav Embassy That time was an example, but now they can't help it. This is the opportunity God has given us. The EU is in civil strife, but China has taken the initiative to go to war with the Philippines. As long as China is suppressed this time, there will be no more trouble in the world. There is no country left that can confront the United States.”
"Mr. Lieutenant General, are we continuing to implement the beast tamer plan?" Thales said.
Wilshire said: "Of course, if we continue to implement the Tamer Plan and China takes the initiative to go to war with the Philippines, China will lose justice, and international public opinion will be on our side. Therefore, even if we take the Guadalcanal Island by force, China will The country doesn’t dare to do anything.”
Thales said: "Yes, as long as we occupy Guadalcanal, we will stick a thorn in China's throat, and China's economic lifeline will fall into our hands."
Wilshire picked up the communicator and said in a deep voice: "Attention to all combatants! The beast tamer plan has begun to be implemented. All combatants are ready for battle. We are going to take over Dagua Island by force!"
A few minutes later, on the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, a Global Hawk sprinted off the deck and flew towards Malacca.
Immediately afterwards, an electronic warfare plane soared into the sky. After it, eight Hornets took off one after another, escorting the Global Hawk towards Malacca.
This is a standard combat procedure for an aircraft carrier fleet. The Global Hawk conducts first reconnaissance, electronic warfare planes interfere with enemy radar detection, and the Hornet performs scalpel attacks to clear enemy radars and air defense facilities.
The fighter plane took off, and the bridge suddenly entered war mode. Many staff are processing information from fighter aircraft, and the monitors also display flight images of air combat groups, as well as reconnaissance images from spy satellites. All of this is normal and nothing out of the ordinary.
"I estimate that we will be able to clear the radar and air defense facilities on Guadalcanal in an hour. As for other military targets on the ground, we have to wait until our ships are determined." Thales said.
Wilshire said: "China's navy does have some warships and submarines in that area, but in front of the Seventh Fleet, they are no match at all. How can a navy without combat aircraft carriers fight us? More What's more, we have the F35, and their fourth-generation fighters are still in a state of test flight until now. They are no match for us whether in the sea or in the sky. So this war will not be very difficult. War, I think we can end it in two hours.”
"Mr. Lieutenant General..." Thales hesitated.
Wilhelms, "Chief of Staff, what do you want to say?"
"Mr. Lieutenant General, we seem to have overlooked a person and his company." Taylor said.
Wilshere paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "Chief of Staff, are you talking about Xia Lei and his Thunder Horse Group?"
Thales nodded, "Yes, Xia Lei and the Thunder Horse Group. A week ago, the Thunder Horse Group tested their drone. At that time, our intelligence officers disguised themselves as reporters and asked him some questions, and also Witnessed the entire test flight process.”
Wilshire sneered, "I know the result of that test flight. The test flight of Thunder Horse Group was a joke. Their drone design was crude and had no highlights at all. The most ridiculous thing was that in the end it actually It also crashed. Chief of Staff, what do you mean by mentioning Xia Lei and the Thunder Horse Group at this time? Are you worried that he will sabotage our animal tamer operation? "
Some of the officers present laughed immediately. The force of the US Seventh Fleet can easily destroy the air defense facilities and important military targets of a medium-sized country, and can even carry out beheading operations against the enemy. How could such a powerful force be resisted by Xia Lei and Lei Ma Group? Not to mention sabotaging this animal tamer operation.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, I suggest you check the live video brought back by our intelligence personnel." Telles said.
Wilshere smiled and said: "Okay, no problem, I can relive the Thunder Horse Group joke."
Under Thales' instruction, a technician quickly retrieved the image stored by the CIA.
On a large monitor, a crudely designed drone was hovering in the sky. It's ugly and has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever. It doesn't fly very fast either, at best it's a little faster than a helicopter. It has no weapons racks on its body and does not carry missiles of any kind.
It is the new drone of Thunder Horse Group, Jing Ke.
"Haha!" an officer laughed: "What can this thing do? Is it used to waste our missiles?"
"Shoot it with an anti-aircraft missile? That would be such a waste." Another officer said with a smile: "It flies so slowly and doesn't carry any ammunition. I think it can be shot down with a machine gun."
Amidst the mocking sounds, Jing Ke suddenly fell from the sky.
"Hahaha..." Wilshere laughed loudly, "This should be my funniest drone. It should appear in the circus, not on the battlefield."
As soon as Wilshere finished speaking, Jing Ke's drone crashed to the ground. There was a loud bang, and the video screen shook. The display screen playing the video was filled with scorching fire, followed by a terrifying explosion shock wave. How powerful is this explosion shock wave? It immediately knocked the person filming the video to the ground, so that for a few seconds the camera was pointed at the sky!
After a few seconds, the screen returned to normal. The intelligence officer zoomed in on the camera, and a huge crater suddenly appeared on the screen. The pit is big enough for a truck to take a dip in.
Now no one laughs at that ugly drone anymore.
The people standing here are American soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are not fools. Anyone can realize that this kind of drone is actually a "suicide". It does not carry weapons and ammunition, because it is a big killer in itself!
Thales said: "Actually, I have just received the information, and our experts have analyzed it. The Jingke UAV researched and produced by the Thunder Horse Group is actually a self-destructing UAV, and its power is equivalent to Several Tomahawk missiles are bundled together, which is very scary. Our experts even suspect that this Jingke unmanned aerial vehicle can be loaded with nuclear bombs. If so, it is not an unmanned aerial vehicle, but a nuclear bomb!"
Wilshire said: "Chief of Staff, are you worried about the unmanned opportunity of Thunder Horse Group coming to fight us?"
Thales said: "Yes, I do have this worry. Mr. Lieutenant General, do you think that China has tolerated it for decades and did not dare to go to war? Why did China have the courage to go to war tonight? And they clearly know that we The Seventh Fleet was coming, but they did it anyway.”
Wilshire said: "Chief of Staff, your concern is correct. But I am not worried about encountering any trouble. This kind of drone flies so slowly that it cannot get close to us at all."
"Oops -" the correspondent suddenly said: "Our pilots said they encountered Chinese fighters!"
"What?" Wilshere was stunned.
This news was like a bomb exploding on the bridge. Everyone couldn't believe it was true, because until now, the radar of the Seventh Fleet had not given any warning of the approaching enemy aircraft!
"No, it's a drone!" the intelligence agent's voice said, "A drone without any markings! Please receive the video feed from our electronic warfare aircraft!"
A real-time picture soon appeared on a monitor.
Four ugly-looking drones were flying from the southern sea towards Malacca. They were arranged in a horizontal formation. The distance between each drone was about two hundred meters, which was quite neat. This is a picture taken by the Global Hawk. It is quite clear. They are only a few kilometers away from the air force detachment of the Seventh Fleet.
"They are the Jingke drones of the Thunder Horse Group!" Someone recognized them, after all, they had just seen a video of the crash of the Ke drone.
"How is this possible? Our radar can't detect them!" the radar operator said in surprise.
Thales stared at the four Jingke drones on the display screen, his brows furrowed, and he could no longer maintain peace of mind. Radar can't detect it, it has to be seen with the naked eye. In modern warfare, such a situation actually means losing the war!
"What do they want to do?"
"Does China want to use four drones to drive us back?"
"Even if this kind of self-destructing UAV is very powerful, but with such a slow flying speed, even if our radar cannot detect it, when they fly close, our machine gun air defense array can easily shoot them down. Come down!"
There was a buzz of discussion in the bridge.
Wilshire suddenly said: "Let our electronic warfare planes attack them and lure them back!"
The order was quickly passed on.
