Chapter 761 Sea Power

In the Portsmouth Harbor, flags were flying, and countless people came to the port spontaneously to see off their troops who were about to set sail. Countless people, as relatives of the soldiers, still felt sad when they said goodbye. However, they conveyed their firm belief to their loved ones, to defend the motherland and to strike the enemy hard!

As the fleet's supreme commander, Admiral John Fieldhouse, standing on the bridge of the Invincible aircraft carrier, and the task force commander, Rear Admiral Woodward, looked at the crowd outside, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

"The US reconnaissance satellite found the location of the Soviet aircraft carrier, the Soviet Union. After leaving the Turkish Strait, they joined several large warships, but did not pass through the Suez Canal, but sailed in the Mediterranean." Major General Woodward said: "This is a bad signal."

What are the Soviets going to do? Are they going to use force to interfere with our actions? Although we have two aircraft carriers and dozens of warships, the combat effectiveness of our aircraft carrier fleet is not lower than those warships. If the Soviets want to interfere by force, what should we do?

"The Soviet Union has very few friendly countries in South America, and has no connection with Argentina. Even if they help Argentina, they will not gain Argentina's recognition. Perhaps this is just a coincidence," said Admiral John.

I hope it’s just a coincidence. Maybe the Soviet Union’s newest aircraft carrier cannot pass through the Suez Canal, so it can only bypass the Mediterranean and the Atlantic and go through the southern tip of Africa?

However, even John himself did not believe this statement. The current chaos in Europe was caused by the Soviets! The Soviets definitely had no good intentions!

"The United States has also activated the contingency plan. If the Soviets harass us at sea, the U.S. aircraft carrier formation will also be dispatched to monitor the Soviets' actions," said Major General Woodward.

The United States absolutely supports Britain's war against Argentina, but this support only means contacting the entire NATO, imposing an arms embargo on Argentina, and implementing economic sanctions on Argentina. Even France was persuaded and decided to withhold the Exocet missiles ordered by Argentina. However, it only goes so far. It is impossible for the United States to send troops to personally participate in Britain's operations.

After all, this is Britain's war. In fact, up to now, many public opinions support Argentina. They believe that as a former colonial country, Britain should resolve disputes through diplomatic negotiations, and it is wrong to seek to regain territories from regional powers by force.

Soviet aircraft carriers! Admiral John was also extremely shocked when he saw the intelligence that was recently sent to him. Now, Britain, the former empire on which the sun never sets, has a very weak navy. They can only dispatch two small aircraft carriers like this, and the carrier-based aircraft they carry are also Sea Harriers, a total of only 20. But what about the Soviet Union? Now they have a super aircraft carrier with a displacement of 80,000 tons! It carries nearly 80 aircraft of various types!

The Soviet Union was already a powerful country on land. All of Europe was trembling under the Soviet Union's rolling armored torrent. If the Soviet Union had a powerful navy, life in all of Western Europe would become even more difficult.

But now, such a situation is gradually taking shape!

"Seventy percent of our planet is covered by ocean. Whoever controls the ocean can truly control the world." Standing on the bridge, looking at his own fleet and a Su-27K carrier-based aircraft catapulted out of the deck with steam coming out, Andre said: "Since the American Mahan wrote a book on Sea Power in the last century, it has been regarded as a classic. The capital of Britain as the British Empire was their powerful naval fleet."

Next to Andre, Victor also looked calm: "Yes, in the past, we had to deal with threats from land, and the navy developed slowly. Now, our navy can finally become the real overlord at sea. This aircraft carrier under our feet is the symbol of our military power."

The first real super aircraft carrier, a giant battleship comparable to those in the Western world, is the pride of the entire Soviet Navy!

In fact, Victor did not dare to say much. The predicament of the Soviet Navy was actually caused by the short-sightedness of the leaders, especially Khrushchev, who was completely unaware of the value of aircraft carriers and was only focused on missiles.

"Attention, combat alert, combat alert, two suspicious planes are flying from the north!" Just then, a broadcast came from the bridge.

The shipping routes in the Mediterranean are already very busy. At the same time, fighter jets from many coastal countries use it as training airspace. But now, the passage of the Soviet aircraft carrier is like attracting a pack of wolves. There are always fighter jets from Western European countries that want to fly over for reconnaissance.

Of course we can't let them succeed! Just after the aircraft carrier sounded the combat alert, the Su-27K in the air was already flying north under the guidance of the radar. Christoph turned on the radar, and two spots of light quickly appeared in the bright line.

"Attention, this is the airspace of the Soviet aircraft carrier. Please leave immediately." After adjusting the radio to the public channel, Christophe spoke in fluent English.

"This is international airspace." A voice came from the other side later.

The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly. At this time, they were 150 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. If it weren't for the complicated air situation here, they should have been able to intercept it at a distance of 300 kilometers. Now, the defense circle of the aircraft carrier was temporarily reduced to 100 kilometers.

Although Christophe was flying alone, he was not afraid at all. As a naval pilot, his mission was to protect the safety of the aircraft carrier and prevent any enemy aircraft from getting close to him!

Since the other party is not sensible, don't blame me for being rude! Christophe flipped the switch, and the fire control system quickly locked onto one of the other planes. At the same time, the R-77 missiles under the wings had been unlocked synchronously and were ready to launch at any time.

Who owns the sky? It all depends on who has the strongest fist! This attack by the Soviet aircraft carrier is to establish the prestige of the Soviet Union as a naval power!

Sure enough, after locking onto the target with the radar, the bright spot on the radar screen began to retreat. Christophe switched back to the radio channel and reported to the aircraft carrier: "001 report, the target has been driven away."

At the same time, Christophe lowered his head and glanced at the radar screen that had switched from lock mode to scan mode. His eyes immediately became sharp: "A new target has been found, speed 0.9, altitude 50, and it is conducting a low-altitude, high-speed penetration. Request an attack!"
