Chapter 122 Give Me Some Face
In the central Pacific Ocean, densely packed warships are moving slowly toward the east.
Oro took temporary command, sitting on their aircraft carrier flagship, and served as the commander-in-chief of this joint military exercise.
Outside the window, on the deck of the aircraft carrier, their carrier-based aircraft took off from time to time, as a routine, and returned to the aircraft carrier after completing the scheduled mission.
Oro recalled the video that Roy had taken out during an internal meeting not long ago, which was shot by the camera mounted on the second-stage thruster of the Hunter-9.
What a shock that was.
A "spaceship" the size of a large heavy truck can actually fly within the atmosphere.
At that time, it completely overturned his and a group of representatives of military-industrial enterprises' modern scientific concepts.
Not only that, as professionals, they knew that the spacecraft's ability to keep its bow facing the camera during its descent was incredible.
At that moment, gravity and aerodynamics, two subjects that have a profound impact on aviation, seemed to be smashed to pieces by Daxia's hammer.
From the news that came out later, it was learned that the spaceship that seemed to be made of alien technology was called "Young Dragon" by them.
Oro smiled self-deprecatingly.
This is just a 'baby dragon'. I really don't know if they have an 'adult dragon' model spacecraft.
But it doesn’t matter. Nowadays, the United States needs permission from Daxia even to launch a satellite.
Otherwise, it will be like the Hunter-9, being dragged into Daxia’s space hub and waiting to be sent back to Earth.
The most ridiculous thing is that if they don’t pay a fee, their space station will be detained in Daxia forever.
It was for this reason that the angry Wells immediately ordered the White Covenant Alliance to form the largest joint fleet in history.
After this gathering, a large-scale military exercise was conducted in an attempt to deter Daxia.
In fact, there was no purpose, it was just Wells's pitiful self-esteem that was at work.
While he was daydreaming.
The messenger hurried over and whispered solemnly in his ear: "500 nautical miles to the east, Daxia's dual aircraft carrier formation has completed its reorganization and is currently heading towards our fleet."
Hearing this, Oro gathered his relaxed thoughts.
The time had come to test him.
He knew that Daxia would never easily give up their hard-earned sphere of influence in the Pacific.
"Where are the troops stationed in the South Island Country and the Small Country? Why haven't we received any news yet?"
Oro asked a question that had been worrying him, but the herald knew nothing about it.
He felt a little worried, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, the sea area to the east is already filled with 90% of Daxia’s warships.
Among them are their most advanced Type 55 missile ships cruising around.
It can be said that, leaving aside the garrisons in those two places, Daxia now truly has absolute military control over the area within 2000 nautical miles east of the Pacific Ocean.
The scariest thing was that they couldn't even contact those two military bases.
Their intelligence system now seems to be broken, and they don't even have any information about the two garrisons.
Oro looked at the sea chart and found that they were now 2000 nautical miles within the 100-nautical-mile military management area designated by Daxia.
"Order: The fleet stops advancing, and all scheduled exercises begin immediately."
"Yes!"
The herald yelled and trotted towards the command desk.
Not long ago, after Daxia towed away their space station, Wells ordered their fleet to deter Daxia at sea. The ideal situation would be to drive Daxia's fleet back to their coastal waters.
In her opinion, only in this way can she stabilize her shaky position.
Otherwise, under this situation, she would most likely be driven out of office by angry people before the end of her term.
There is no way. The huge gap in aerospace has made the American people lose all trust in her as president. "This is the Daxia Navy. Your fleet has entered 100 nautical miles of our military jurisdiction. I now inform you to leave the relevant waters immediately within 5 hours."
At this time, the poor whispers of the Great Xia Navy were heard on the public channel in the command room. Oro walked forward irritably and closed the public channel.
He just didn't believe it. It was only 100 nautical miles. How could Daxia dare to take any drastic action?
He had carefully calculated the distance of 100 nautical miles, which was just enough to meet the minimum activity area of their fleet.
The significance lies in letting the reporters on the fleet know that this exercise has successfully broken through the military management area designated by Daxia.
He slapped Da Xia's face 'hardly'.
And with Daxia's wisdom, it can definitely perceive its own small demands.
To put it bluntly, it's just about giving each other some face.
Space Hub Command.
"Reporting to the commander, the enemy has cut off the communication channel. Their fleet has stopped within 100 nautical miles of the planned line. According to the radar, the enemy's exercise should have already begun."
The messenger whispered to Liu Shengzhan what was happening in the Pacific Ocean.
Since the advent of the quantum communication system, the communication delay problem that has plagued the military for a long time no longer exists. Communications from the earth to space no longer require complicated relay satellites and ground lines for switching.
The communication system developed by Xinghai can already transmit communication content directly to any communication terminal within 5 million kilometers through quantum satellites in space.
If not for this, Liu Shengzhan would not be able to directly command the dual aircraft carrier formation in the Pacific Ocean.
At this moment, after learning the news, a look of disdain flashed across Liu Shengzhan's face.
As for starting a war directly, that is of course impossible.
It was impossible for the aircraft carrier formation to directly ram into the enemy. He knew that the purpose of the commander of the other fleet was just to show it to the media in order to restore the reputation of the United States that had been lost during this period.
But it was obvious that the commander of the three armies named Oro was a little naive.
In the past, he really had no good solution.
It is very difficult to drive away a fleet consisting of nearly a hundred warships of various types.
In a sense, these fleets have become a small human ecosystem.
The other party refused to leave, even though Daxia had a double aircraft carrier formation and several Type 55 missile ships.
In the case where firepower cannot be used to expel the enemy, all that can be done is to stop the enemy in place and keep him motionless.
But things are different now.
A sentence that Fan Ren once said rang in his mind.
Times have changed!
He stood up, feeling the inertial gravity brought by the centrifugal force of his rotation, and spoke.
"Order, all Star Transport Industrial Ships on duty, immediately dispatch, according to the pre-deployment, immediately capture all GP4 satellites in low orbit, tow them to the space hub, and await the next step of the arrangement."
"Yes!"
The herald officer agreed expressionlessly and ran down to make arrangements.
In his opinion, there are still hundreds of satellites once launched by the United States in space that are not equipped with tracking and monitoring systems.
These are all very unstable factors that may pose hidden dangers to space hubs and spacecraft traveling between the Earth and the Moon at any time.
It would be good to take this opportunity to pull out some nails.
As for whether the loss of satellite navigation will cause any trouble on the Blue Planet.
Daxia's satellite positioning system has long been released to the public, so changing the software is not a big deal.
