I built an armada.

Chapter 458: The Navy has become the strongest, and the aircraft carrier auction begins
So when it all comes down to it, time is the most important factor!

Therefore, once a fight breaks out, the first reinforcements they will encounter will be the fighter support from the Eagle Tribe garrison and the East Wilderness Tribe. It will take time for the aircraft carrier battle group to arrive due to its sailing speed.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the only thing we can do is to take it down in the shortest possible time.

Once the rebels on the island are successfully wiped out and the large force successfully crosses the sea, even if an aircraft carrier battle group arrives, it will be of no use and they can only sigh in despair!

As for the subsequent international pressure, the rebel forces on the rebellious island have been completely wiped out anyway, so it is of no use even if they are bigger.

The first wave of fighter support was the key to Deng Zhenhua's inquiry!
Su Dingping thought of it, and Deng Zhenhua and Liu Huaming also considered it.

"Old Liu, do we need more air force support?"

Deng Zhenhua was still a little worried. "Let them cooperate with your navy to conduct a more effective interception."

Liu Huaming pondered for a moment and then said directly: "The fighter group is indeed a problem. I can then dispatch a few 052Ds and -ton destroyers and deploy them in the northeast of the rebellious island."

"On the one hand, we can support you in taking down the rebellious island, and on the other hand, we can intercept the invading enemy."

Having said that, Liu Huaming silently calculated in his mind that once the fighting started, it would be too late to provide battlefield supplies, so the ammunition of several warships must be preserved well, and absolutely no action should be taken rashly. All of it must be kept to deal with any reinforcements that might appear.

If you can control the use of ammunition, you will be able to deal with enemies hiding behind you and causing trouble!
"Old Deng, we can hold out for more than an hour!"

"In more than an hour, we must be mentally prepared to deal with the East Wasteland Air Force and the Eagle Tribe fighter group."

After thinking it over, Liu Huaming spoke again, his tone very serious.

"More than an hour?"

Deng Zhenhua pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If we don't care about the cost, we can charge forward quickly and make it in time."

"But in this case, your navy will have to take more responsibility."

Liu Huaming responded cheerfully: "That's no problem. As long as we can wipe out the rebellion, our navy will do its duty!"

The start of this armed attack is to continue the unfinished armed struggle.

the other side.

After those leaders returned to their respective combat command posts, they immediately convened emergency meetings of commanders at all levels.

Air Force Operations Command.

The two air force chiefs and a group of air force commanders gathered here.

Since the successive withdrawal of troops from the western border and the two southwestern border tribes, more than half of the air force's strength has been concentrated here.

For the Air Force, the nearly two hundred fighter jets on the rebellious island still put a lot of pressure on them.

The most important thing is that these fighter jets are basically third-generation fighter jets such as F15 and F16.

In 15, the F16 and F were considered very advanced third-generation fighter jets on the blue planet, with strong attack capabilities.

The Longxia tribe's Raptor 10 fighter jets are only equipped in small batches and on a small scale. It is far from enough to rely on them to conquer the world.

At present, the main fighter jets are still the second-generation Bayeux and dozens of Su-27 aircraft purchased from the White Bear Tribe.

A total of hundreds of Su-27 aircraft were purchased, but more than half have not yet been shipped.

The F-15 is a high-altitude, high-speed interceptor. It is fine for national defense or reconnaissance, but it is not suitable for air combat with F16 or F. It will just get beaten if it goes up.

Then the Air Force will only have a small number of Raptor 10 and Su-27 aircraft in service, as well as a number of Flying Leopard fighters, which can still have a certain advantage.

However, despite the advantages, they cannot withstand the large number of third-generation fighter jets on the rebellious island.

At present, we can only fight according to the equipment we have.

Among the three armed forces, the Air Force is currently the weakest and has not yet entered the stage of comprehensive deployment of third-generation aircraft.

It is impossible to let a single Raptor 10 fighter jet deal with the siege of several third-generation fighter jets of the rebels at the same time. This is unrealistic.

We can't let the large number of Seventh Master and Sixth Master go up to fight, that would be no different from going to die.

The training of pilots is already very difficult and they are an extremely precious resource. If this is the case, what will happen after this war?
At this time, an air force chief said: "This is the current situation. We have too few third-generation aircraft at our disposal. The only ones we can call upon are the Raptor 10 and the Flying Leopard."

"Oh, and there are still some of the Eighth Masters. The rest of the fighter planes are too old and cannot be used at all."

"We need to fight quickly and decisively in this battle, so we cannot deploy old fighter planes."

Another Air Force chief also said: "We have deployed a batch of Su-27 aircraft, but the number is still too small, and most of them have not been deployed. Now most of them have been transferred here."

"Oh, it's really annoying. The White Bear Tribe is so slow in delivering the goods. We originally ordered more than a hundred fighter jets, but after several years, we have only received a few dozen."

"Their efficiency is really too low. It really delays our work."

"If most of the remaining goods had arrived, we wouldn't be under so much pressure."

"So, I think among the three armed forces, our Air Force is the biggest shortcoming and also the biggest challenge!"

After these words were spoken, the commanders' hearts suddenly sank.

"If that's the case."

An Air Force colonel said, "Then we can't engage in a head-on air battle with them. Instead, we have to cooperate with the Navy to raid their air bases, blow up the airport runways, and destroy as many rebel fighters as possible on the ground."

"This will reduce a lot of pressure on our pilots."

"Well, that's one way. But how do we attack? With land-based missiles, or with our air-to-ground missiles?"

"Should we send the Flying Leopards to conduct a ground-to-air raid, or should we send out bombers?"

"How about pulling the navy over? Didn't the navy directly shoot down high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft like the U-2? With the addition of the navy's air defense missiles, we can cooperate with the rebel fighters. Our chances of winning are still very high."

"Don't forget, the rebels still have long-range warning radars. With the support of the Eagle Tribe over the years, they have deployed radar facilities in all key locations."

"With a detection range of more than 72 kilometers, the probability of our fighter jets and land-based missiles being detected is very high, and they will definitely intercept them."

When they heard someone mention the radar facilities in the hands of the rebels, the two air force chiefs looked at each other, and they could see a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

And these radars can only be dealt with by the navy.

They all thought of the Navy's advanced stealth warships such as the 052D, which could go in and out of the relevant waters of the Eastern Wilderness without being discovered.

The military radar deployed by the Donghuang tribe is more powerful than the rebels on the rebellion island in terms of detection distance and function. As a result, they are more determined that they must cooperate with the navy in this battle.

It seemed that without them realizing it, the status of the navy had been elevated to a whole new level in the minds of these air force chiefs.

At the same time, the Army Operations Command.

Several leaders also gathered together to discuss specific combat plans.

"Our troops have all been trained for this purpose, so we won't have any problems sneaking in. But if we want to land safely, we need to be wary of the rebels' land-based missiles and air force raids."

"If we don't knock them down first, it will have a huge negative impact on our crossing the sea and landing."

"Therefore, once the battle begins, we must first knock out the rebels' fighter jets and seize air superiority. At the very least, we must destroy most of their air force and gain partial air superiority!"

Everyone knows that the key to crossing the sea is to control the air. Without the air threat, the army's landing will not cause too many casualties.

This puts pressure on the Air Force.

"How is our air force? Can we gain air superiority?"

At this time, a leader asked directly, the army cannot pull land-based air defense missiles to the sea for combat.

“That’s hard to say.”

"The Air Force has already transferred advanced fighter jets from other directions, but the number of third-generation fighter jets in our Air Force is still too small. There are only a few."

"If we want to rely on them to control the air with absolute certainty, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."

"That is the Air Force's own problem. We just need to do our own thing well. We must be well prepared and formulate plans for air superiority and partial air superiority."

"If the Air Force needs help, they'll ask for it."

When the commanders heard this, they understood the current predicament of the Air Force, and they were under even greater pressure.

"According to the previous combat plan, we must first knock out the rebels' military bases, airports, and combat-ready roads that can take off fighter jets."

"Try to suppress the enemy's firepower, and then we will advance the crossing and land on the island."

"It's definitely not going to work if we follow the procedure like this. We need to make a quick decision and advance both at the same time!"

"If we all advance together, our casualties will probably increase, which is not good."

"By the way, can't the navy free up its hands now? Didn't the navy intercept the carrier-based aircraft of the Donghuang tribe and the Qianfo tribe alone before? They can conduct long-range interception of those fighter planes at sea."

"We need the navy to cooperate with us. This will increase our chances of victory and reduce casualties!"

After several leaders discussed it to the end, they suddenly realized that the army also needed strong cooperation from the navy. Undoubtedly, the strength of the navy was confirmed by them to some extent.

With the cooperation of the navy, military crossing operations will undoubtedly be easier!

"It seems that we have to admit that a strong navy is still needed for naval operations."

Several leaders almost reached a consensus.

Soon, the army chiefs and the air force chiefs met again and fully exchanged operational opinions.

In the end, both sides discovered that the army and air force had become indispensable to the navy. Especially when carrying out island warfare, this need became extremely urgent and indispensable!

This was completely unimaginable before.

This discovery made them extremely helpless.

In modern warfare, the importance of the navy is increasing day by day, and this cannot be changed by human will.

The combat method conceived by Su Dingping, Qian Lao, and Xue Shuai that day, with the navy as the core and integrating the five elements of sea, land, air, space and electricity, will be fully verified in this operation to eliminate the rebellion.

In any case, this is destined to be a very modern war!
After the two men discussed it, they immediately sent someone to contact Xu Dongguo to exchange the details of the combat plan, and to discuss and formulate a new combat plan.

No one realized that the attack on the rebel island would be the initial integration of naval and air operations.

At the same time, at the northern military base dock.

Zhang Zhaoxin led the buyers on a tour of the USS Gabbert, explaining the performance of each device as they walked around.

Representatives of several tribes that own aircraft carriers are not very interested in the combat capability of the USS Gabet, but representatives of other tribes that do not have aircraft carriers are still very interested.

Although the USS Gabbert suffered a lot of damage during the war, several of its core internal equipment were basically intact.

"Dear delegates, please bid with confidence."

"We will definitely deliver a complete Gabbert aircraft carrier by then. We will repair it and completely restore its combat effectiveness, and we will also upgrade it to a more modern level."

"We will ensure that it has combat power that is worth its money, and we will send warships to escort it to your hands."

"You can rest assured about this!"

Zhang Zhaoxin's repeated assurances reassured many tribal representatives.

It’s just that the representatives at the scene had different thoughts.

Some people think that if I don’t have it, others can’t buy it either!

In a word, I can have it, but even if I buy it and take it apart, you absolutely cannot!

If I have it, you must have it immediately too. That won’t work. It will definitely not make your dream come true!
Some people think it would be better to buy it quietly. What do you want to do by making such a big fuss? Now, we have been dragged into the pirate ship. Even if we don’t bid later, we will feel embarrassed!
If there is one tribe in the Western Alliance that makes a bid, whether it is the Hans tribe, the British tribe, or any other tribe, the other member tribes of the Western Alliance will inevitably follow suit and make a bid.

There is no way. These traditional old powers simply cannot sit idly by and watch other tribes or other allies become stronger.

If the Hans tribe were to buy it back and its military strength rose again, wouldn't it cause the Western Alliance to collapse?

For a moment, the atmosphere at the auction site became tense. Representatives from every tribe were waiting impatiently, eager to take the Gabbet aircraft carrier under their command.

After Zhang Zhaoxin's introduction, the atmosphere on the field was set, and the tribal representatives were almost determined to bid.

Zhang Zhaoxin turned his head and glanced at Secretary Wang De next to him. The moment the two looked at each other, they both smiled and nodded, both knowing that it was almost time.

He was responsible for introducing the performance of the aircraft carrier, and Secretary Wang was responsible for the specific price negotiations, and the two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other.
