Chapter 234 Want to ram? My bow is equipped with cutting-edge technology!
"Buzz—!"
The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire Great Xia fleet, and red warning lights flashed wildly in every compartment.
On the aircraft carrier deck, ground crew members were running around as J-series carrier-based aircraft were towed to the electromagnetic catapult launch point, roaring to life.
Beneath the icy surface of the sea, attack submarines codenamed "Wolf Pack" slowly glided along.
The entire Great Xia fleet, like an enraged lion, bared its sharpest claws.
Hu Jianjun put down the microphone, looked at the massive fleet closing in on the screen, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
Without turning his head, he spoke to the communications officer beside him.
"Notify the electronic warfare unit."
"Get our playlist ready."
"The Americans have come all this way to join in the fun, we can't let them get too bored."
.......
The frigid Antarctic sea breeze couldn't dispel the smell of gunpowder on the sea.
The Great Xia fleet was lined up in a row inside the territorial sea baseline, like an iron Great Wall, ready for battle.
Beyond the baseline, in the high seas, the massive hull of the eight-nation fleet obscured the surface, a dark, oppressive mass that filled the air with a suffocating sense of unease.
Inside the bridge of the flagship USS Freedom, Admiral Jackson leaned back in the commander's seat, looking at the two clearly defined sides on the satellite image, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Drill begins."
He casually uttered two words.
In an instant, the eight-nation fleet sprang into action, their cannons turned, and their carrier-based aircraft took off.
They are conducting so-called "anti-submarine" and "air defense" drills in international waters with great seriousness.
In the command center of the "Kunlun" warship, General Liu watched the flashy performance on the screen and snorted coldly.
"Are you playing house?"
He picked up the enamel mug and blew on the tea leaves.
"They're all ancient foxes, why are they playing at Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?"
"Order all units to coordinate with the Soviet Union and the 80s nation to take action, as a warm-up for the war."
General Liu took a sip of hot tea.
"Let them fire a few shots to conserve ammunition; just a token gesture will suffice."
With the order issued, the exercise began in Daxia.
The three fleets tacitly opened fire on the designated target area, the cannons roaring, but everyone knew that the real confrontation had only just begun.
Sure enough, the crazy move happened.
On the sea, two Japanese destroyers suddenly broke away from the formation and increased their speed.
The bow of the ship stirred up high white waves, pretending to "chase" a virtual underwater target, but its course was cutting straight toward the baseline of the Great Xia territorial sea.
"General, it's the 'Spring' and 'Takanami' from the Sakura Kingdom!" the staff officer immediately reported.
"Damn it! It's that dog Sakura again, leading the charge. The US is deliberately trying to disgust us." General Liu cursed, putting down his teacup.
"Order our friends from the 80s to 'pursue' our Type 055 destroyer 'Xuanwu' and tell the 'Xuanwu' to block those two things back!"
"yes!"
The order was conveyed swiftly.
On the sea, a destroyer from the 80th century immediately changed course, locked its guns on a 055 10,000-ton destroyer, and began to pursue it.
Meanwhile, the "Genbu" ship changed course and precisely arrived in the path of the two Japanese destroyers.
"Baka!"
Inside the bridge of the HMS Spring, the captain's expression changed as he looked at the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared on the radar screen.
Before he could react,
"Sizzle—"
All the displays on the bridge, from radar and sonar to communication systems, were instantly covered by a blinding amount of static, leaving only the noisy electrical hum.
"Captain, report! Intense electromagnetic interference across all frequency bands! We've been rendered blind!"
"Baka yarou!"
The captain was so angry that his face turned a deep shade of liver.
There's a road hog in front of me, and my eyes have been turned blind. How am I supposed to play like this?
He could only roar in frustration:
"Turn around! Retreat!"
The two Japanese destroyers sheepishly turned around and broke off contact.
The first probing attempt by the Eagle Nation fleet ended without success.
Onboard the flagship "Liberty," Jackson watched the ridiculous scene on the screen, his face darkening, and he cursed:
"A bunch of worthless bastards!"
Meanwhile, beneath the deep, icy surface of the sea, a silent battle is also unfolding.
The "wolf pack" of Great Xia and the nuclear submarines of the United Kingdom are like ghosts in the deep sea, locking onto and tracking each other.
They are both searching for each other's precise locations, preparing for a fatal blow in case of conflict that may break out at any moment.
If you fail to make a plan, you have another plan.
Jackson gave the order again.
High in the sky, several allied fighter jets suddenly seemed to be "outmatched" by the eagle's fighter jets, and fled in disarray towards the airspace of Great Xia, trailing "exhaust smoke".
"They've arrived." General Liu's gaze turned to the air situation map.
"Order our fighter jets to also 'pursue' our friends from the 80s."
"Tell the pilots to fire all their bullets to the side, so they don't hurt their own men, but make sure the Americans see clearly that line of fire—whoever crosses it dies!"
In the sky, the J-series fighter jets of the Great Xia roared up and began to "pursue" the "fleeing" 80-nation fighter jets.
"Da da da da—!"
The machine guns spat fire, but the tracer rounds drew a huge arc as they swept over the No. 80 fighter jet.
A dazzling yet deadly line of fire was drawn in front of the American fighter jets.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: Don't walk into the line of fire!
The back-and-forth exchanges, with both sides constantly skirting the line, pushed the tension in this sea area to its peak.
General Liu simply gave the order to deploy several Type 055 destroyers.
Like a group of mocking and laughing "street thugs," they swaggered to the outer perimeter of the eight-nation fleet's exercise area to "observe the battle up close."
This really disgusted the Eight-Nation Alliance.
They cannot launch an attack before the relationship has completely broken down.
He could only watch helplessly as those massive, futuristic-looking destroyers, each topped with a large sphere, swayed before his eyes.
What's even more infuriating is that these street thugs occasionally pull off some amazing tricks.
"General, report! Our communication system has been compromised. We have immediately switched to the backup channel!"
"Report! Unidentified signal detected on radar screen!"
"God! They're playing... a hairdryer animation on our public channel? No, judging by the laughter, it's pigs!!"
"Oh! Peppa! This is my little brother, George..."
The catchy music and lines were clearly transmitted to every ship of the eight-nation fleet via an encrypted channel.
The technicians were sweating profusely, but they couldn't cut off this mysterious power from the East.
Jackson was so angry that he slammed his coffee cup on the ground with a loud bang.
"Fight back! Fight back! Hack their system too!" he roared.
"General...we...we can't do it!" The electronic warfare officer was on the verge of tears.
"We simply can't breach their firewall!"
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
Jackson hated those elusive Type 055 destroyers.
He was panting heavily when a sinister plan came to mind.
"Since they like using interference as an excuse, let them have their fun!" he ordered with a sneer.
"Order the cruiser 'Antiy' to report that it is experiencing strong electromagnetic interference and has lost course. Get it...charging forward!"
"General, what is going on..."
"Execute the command!"
"yes!"
