Inside the base, Natasha walked to Li Lan's side and reported: "The dragon has entered the sea."

Li Lan's eyes lit up and asked, "Is everything out?"

"Two hours ago, NATO officials even held a grand ceremony for this. Most of the leaders of NATO countries attended the ceremony."

Natasha said and opened the video, and a grand and incomparable picture soon appeared on the huge monitor of the base.

In the light and windy port, there are neatly docked one after another warships, and the ten super aircraft carriers in the middle have become the absolute protagonists.

The picture uses a wide-angle lens, but the size of the ten aircraft carriers is really too big, and the picture is still full of majestic momentum.

Natasha continued: "This is the most powerful fleet that mankind has in history. It represents the pinnacle of the development of human navigation technology so far. It is also the backbone of the NATO coalition to completely defeat us."

Li Lan glanced at the picture, the corners of her mouth slightly tilted, her hands behind her back, and said: "This is indeed something to be proud of. Ten super aircraft carrier battle groups, twelve amphibious assault ship formations, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's six A so-called helicopter carrier, as well as four submarine groups and six escort fleets, the total force is indeed the largest fleet group in humanity."

"Even if we are prepared to face such a huge combat power, we have to be careful. With such a huge fleet layout, the Indian Ocean may become a footbath." aside.Tan Ya said lightly.

"This is normal. Even the Pacific Ocean cannot accommodate such a large fleet of both sides. From the very beginning, NATO has forced us to fight a decisive battle."

Li Lan naturally understands this. Don’t think that the ocean is huge, but the radiation range of carrier-based aircraft is not small. The range of carrier-based aircraft of an aircraft carrier battle group has reached a radius of one thousand kilometers. If refueling is carried out in the air, this The distance can also reach more than 1,500 kilometers.

With the radiation radius of ten super carrier battle groups, there is not much space in the Indian Ocean beyond the combat radius of its carrier aircraft.

But this also depends on the choice of the opposing fleet's formation. It is impossible for NATO to separate the aircraft carriers one by one, and at least form a fleet with absolute combat effectiveness.Only dare to move in the Indian Ocean controlled by Somalia.

Of course, this does not rule out that NATO will form a horizontal attack formation, so that it can press from the eastern Indian Ocean line toward the western Pacific horizontal line.

Once any point encounters an attack, the fleets on the two wings can surround it in a circle for the first time.

However, it is not so easy to command such a large fleet. If hundreds of warships want to coordinate, the command system required will be very large, if the entire fleet is dispersed.It will inevitably lead to difficulties in command coordination.

It is as strong as the United States and does not have command experience of such a large fleet, because this requires a very strong network support, and then it is possible for the commander to order and prohibit.

The NATO Pacific Joint Fleet has been prepared for several months.Choosing to set sail at this time obviously resolved this difficulty.

As the so-called soldiers are coming to cover the water and earth, such a huge maritime group.Li Lan didn't have the ability to eat the opponent at once, and could only combine the opponent's tactical formation.Make your own tactical adjustments.

"NATO’s current strategic direction is very clear, forcing our fleet to fight a decisive battle. Then, with a strong maritime force advantage, we will break our blockade of the Indian Ocean so that their troops can directly land on our homeland and open up the most valuable first. Three battlefields." Tan Ya said.

Natasha further analyzed: "It's just that they don't know. We are not less than them in the number of aircraft carriers. Although their amphibious assault ships can also take off Lightning fighters, they cannot meet the needs of aircraft carriers. Decisive battle. The Raptor carrier aircraft on the US supercarrier is what we need to consider.

Although the Raptor carrier-based aircraft is derived from the Air Force version of the Raptor fighter, it uses the most advanced technology. Both stealth, attack and ammunition have been significantly improved, and its performance is not lost at all. The carrier version of our Black Hawk fighter.

Over the years, all Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy have spent huge sums of money on modernization and upgrades, and have already eliminated the fourth-generation carrier-based aircraft, all of which are Raptor carrier-based aircraft and carrier-based unmanned combat aircraft. The combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

In addition to the amphibious assault ship and the lightning carrier-based aircraft on Japan’s six helicopter carriers, the carrier-based aircraft that can be dispatched are enough to cause huge damage to our fleet.

Of course, we must be alert to their submarine forces. All 18 Japanese submarines have entered the Indian Ocean. The Los Angeles-class and Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines of the US Navy have also become the underwater attack cluster of the joint fleet.

In terms of submarines, we cannot ignore the other party’s ballistic missile and nuclear submarine. Because of the non-use nuclear weapons treaty signed by the two sides, the US military has modified all ballistic missile and nuclear submarines of the major forces. Like us, they can also launch anti-ship missiles. Underwater weapon platform.

It is expected that the submarine force dispatched with the NATO combined fleet will also be unprecedented in scale. It is worth noting that this time the other three U.S. arsenal ships will follow the fleet and may form an independent attack formation with Zumwalt. Play the effect of the surprise soldiers..."

"It is indeed shocking. No matter who has such power, he can establish the throne of the world." Li Lan sincerely praised that the powerful combat power possessed by the NATO Pacific Joint Fleet is enough to erase Somalia from the map.

It is also enough to make any big country afraid, even if the defense of the United States, under such a huge attack formation, it will become a ruin.

Although the defense force of Somalia is very strong, it can not withstand such a strong firepower.

Let alone those amphibious assault ships and super aircraft carriers, even those destroyers and frigates.Its burst of firepower is enough to destroy defensive weapons along the coast of Somalia.

There is nothing to say next.Once the defense is breached, the defenses of other areas will also be pulled out.

Because just break through the corner of the defense.NATO’s firepower will be poured into all electric facilities, and defensive weapons that rely solely on electric power will become scrap iron.

The entire defense line will collapse. As for attacking power facilities, this is inevitable. As long as you are not fools, you can see that the laser defense weapons and electromagnetic railguns all over the country in Somalia rely most on the supply of electricity.

Instead, the Red Police fleet is approaching the entire territory of the United States, and Li Lan will also consider how to destroy the electricity supply in the United States.In the United States without power supply, many defensive weapons are also useless.

Defense is not absolute, any defense has a certain degree of tolerance.The reason why NATO has not carried out a large-scale military strike against Somalia is only because of the distance.

The same is true for Li Lan. He doesn't want to destroy Europe's industrial capabilities and destroy all NATO's war potential in Europe. It's just that the attack distance is too far to carry out an all-round effective attack.

As long as NATO’s Pacific Joint Fleet can destroy the combat capability of the Somali Navy, it will have enough space to carry out a full range of firepower strikes on the Somalia mainland.

Stronger than base defense.It can intercept 2,000 missiles, but how can it intercept 4,000 missiles?

Once the defense is torn, the next attack is as powerful as a bamboo, and more powerful firepower will destroy all defenses.Then came the long drive of ground troops.

If the battle in the Middle East and North Africa is only the beginning of a full-scale combat, then this naval battle is an important part of the real establishment of the outcome of the war.

Who can win the naval battle.It is tantamount to grasping the bargaining chip for victory in the war.

Of course, if you kill one thousand and lose eight hundred yourself, then everything is back to the starting point.It can only continue to consume national war potential.

Only in this way, Somalia will be at a complete disadvantage.But NATO will not be very popular either.Li Lan can support full-line operations for at least three years. Even if NATO runs out of Somalia's combat capabilities, he will become very vulnerable.

At this time, the polar bears staring at him, how could they have let go of the big fat of NATO? The greedy Slavs never gave up the benefits they obtained, and they would strive to seize greater benefits.

The naval battle in the Indian Ocean will be a key factor in determining the course of this war.

NATO sent troops to the Indian Ocean vigorously, and Li Lan also had no reservations.

In the Indian Ocean, the Red Police Navy has long formed a joint fleet of the same unprecedented scale, and two aircraft carrier battle groups of the Pakistani and Iranian navies have also joined.

At this time, no one will consider the level of loss. Losing the Indian Ocean means losing the war. Pakistan and Iran also understand this.

The navy will be the only main battlefield in this war. The battles in the Middle East and North Africa are really nothing.

At this stage, Li Lan's two aircraft carriers are still near the Cape of Good Hope and have been dealing with NATO navies in the Atlantic Ocean.

The navies of the two sides constrained each other here, and they were unable to leave. Naturally, the two aircraft carrier battle groups could not be used.

NATO also did not consider transferring the navy from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The four aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Navy are a guarantee to protect the lifeline of the Atlantic, and they cannot leave.

The European fleet also shouldered the same responsibility, but also to support operations in the Mediterranean.Therefore, this naval decisive battle in the Indian Ocean, the fleet in the Atlantic, is totally unable to help.

The Somali Navy’s two aircraft carrier battle groups and multiple destroyer formations are also difficult to get out, otherwise the NATO navy in the Atlantic will inevitably bypass the Cape of Good Hope and go to the Indian Ocean for support.

In the Indian Ocean, the Red Police Navy also has an extremely powerful force. In half a year, the Eighth Fleet has officially joined the naval combat establishment.

As a result, deducting the second and fourth fleets in the Atlantic direction, the Red Police Navy’s fleet in the Indian Ocean will have six, plus four hidden aircraft carrier battle groups, and there will be ten super carrier battle groups. This is the same as the number of U.S. supercarrier battles.

In terms of high-end combat effectiveness, the two sides are even.If the two battle groups of Iran and Pakistan are included, Somalia has the advantage in terms of the number of aircraft carriers.

In terms of the number of amphibious assault ships, the U.S. military dispatched twelve, each on board.All can carry nearly forty Lightning carrier-based aircraft to the limit.

The amphibious assault ship of the Red Police Navy can also carry a similar number of fifth-generation invader fighters.

The number of amphibious assault ships.Li Lan currently has only 15 available for use. If you count the six Japanese helicopter carriers that can provide landing platforms for Lightning carrier aircraft.

Under the overall comparison.The Red Police Navy does not have any advantages.

For other ships, the number of the Red Police Navy is also much different. The total fleet does not exceed two hundred warships, while the NATO Pacific Joint Fleet, the number of various ships, adds up to nearly five hundred.

All kinds of ships are very complete, with strong logistical support, they already have an absolute advantage in military strength.

Just like Natasha's analysis, although the Indian Ocean is its main battlefield.But this time NATO is definitely the momentum of the Raptors crossing the river.

Whether it is a submarine on the surface or underwater, Li Lan has long left no room.

Of course, if he thinks about it in another way, Li Lan will not leave any way out for the enemy.

"Where are the various fleets currently?" Li Lan asked.

"The First Fleet Group is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Second Fleet Group is in the southern part of the Indian Ocean, the Third Fleet Group is resupplying in the Indian Ocean Territory, and the Fourth Fleet Group is heading to and the First Fleet Group is converging. Each fleet group is separated by one. Thousands of nautical miles, if necessary, can be assembled in a short time." Tan Ya replied.

Li Lan nodded.Without saying anything, he directly contacted Lin Qishan, the fleet commander on the front line. As soon as the communication was established, he opened his mouth and said: "Lin Qishan. The dragon is already like a sea. This time you are the protagonist. I place all hope on you. This is the only battle. There is victory, and I don’t want to hear any news of defeat."

"Commander, please rest assured. Only Lynch Hill who wins, not Lynch Hill who loses." On the other side of the phone.Lin Qishan said confidently.

"The morale is good, but I hope you will not be careless. Strategically, we can despise the enemy, but in tactics, we must pay 100% attention. We will lose an order and die. Do you understand?" Li Lan reminded.

"The humble post understands that I am prepared to deal with any situation, and all the soldiers in the army are prepared for a decisive battle." Lin Qishan said.

"I look forward to your performance."

After hanging up the phone, Li Lan said in his heart: Nearly two decades of struggle have come to the most critical moment, and I hope everything will be as I wish.

"I'm curious, why didn't the commander let Sulaiman command this naval battle." Tan Ya asked.

"Sulaiman is a good naval commander, but he lacks the courage to attack. Although Lynchshan is not a very comprehensive commander, he has the courage that a naval commander has. Both of them are not in terms of tactics and vision. Up and down,

To command such a large fleet requires courage.This is what Sulaiman lacks, he is suitable for mastering the whole game, not suitable for making decisions at critical moments."Li Lan said.

...

In the Port of Nicola, Australia, a large number of warships are leaving the port one after another at this moment, and a tugboat is pulling these behemoths out of the port.

On the entire pier, there were flying colorful flags everywhere, and the farewell crowd had not yet dispersed, and they were waving goodbye to the neat white sailors on the warship.

The wharf where hundreds of thousands of people gathered was filled with farewell shouts everywhere. The hundreds of thousands of naval soldiers set out from here, and they also worried about hundreds of thousands of families.

Even more high hopes have been given by countless people. When the war has reached such a point, ordinary people naturally cannot drag the country back. What they can do now is to pray for the safety of their families who are on the march.

I also prayed that I would not receive the yellow registered letter, and I did not want to see the death notice on it.

Too many families have lost their loved ones for this war that is very meaningless to them.

At this time, they can only hope that the war will end sooner and return to a peaceful life sooner.

On the hill behind the port, Harris has been standing here for several hours, watching his fleet slowly leave the port.

As the supreme commander of this fleet, he does not have any mobility at the moment. Whenever his eyes linger in the farewell crowd at the port, he only feels the pressure on his shoulders.

The power of the Somali Navy is obvious to all in the world, and it is not the first time that the US military has engaged with the Somali Navy.The Somali Navy, who has never failed, will not relax no matter who is in his position.

The naval strength assembled by NATO this time is absolutely irresistible. According to the comparison of intelligence, the enemy's navy has up to eight aircraft carrier battle groups, and two Middle Eastern navies that are not nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The number of supporting warships is also much higher than that of the enemy.It seems that his side already has an absolute advantage, but in Harris' heart, he has been unable to comfortably let go of his hands and feet to command.

The Joint Staff Conference sent him a large number of excellent staff members. In the entire command headquarters, NATO elites gathered, and all the possible situations of the fleet were listed in the plan.

It can be said that this time the NATO Navy is fully prepared and able to cope with any adverse situation that arises.

Just don't know why, Harris just can't get happy now. The powerful fleet has already set off. He will not follow the fleet and will always sit here to command the naval battle.

The sound of the distant siren hit his heart like a war drum. Looking at the sea, the fleets lined up neatly to the sky, and the rows of carrier-based aircraft in the sky pulled out ribbons.

It should have been an ambitious picture, Harris now only has a heavy heart, his eyes diffusively watching the fleet under the sky and water, muttering to himself:

"With the hopes and expectations of countless people, I hope that in the near future, I can still hold the grandest welcome ceremony for such a triumphant victory here."
