Chapter 131 Antarctic War Chronicles

If someone had told George a few months ago that he would fly to the Antarctic to fight on the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, he would have put his foot in that person's ass and yelled that he was a stupid prairie dog.

The aircraft carrier is the crown of human industrial civilization, a complex combat platform and a powerful war weapon.

But it's not an icebreaker!

The Nimitz is very heavy and strong, and may be able to break through the ice of the Southern Ocean and the huge ice blocks floating on the sea, but its hull design and the materials used cannot support the aircraft carrier's long-term carving away.

Just like a smartphone, although the casing is made of messy things like carbon fiber or super metal, you can't use it to smash walnuts.

But now, on the icy sea in mid-September, ten aircraft carriers, hundreds of cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and ballistic missile submarines formed a huge array and headed towards the vast land of Antarctica.

There are no icebreakers.

Instead, there is an "ice-swallowing stone" embedded in the bottom of the ship. This is also one of the applications of extraordinary materials by scientists at this stage. The ice-swallowing stone absorbs ice, guides it through lines, and discharges it to the rear in the form of water to break the ice.

It also provides considerable power while layering.

This method of breaking ice actually has a small hidden danger - in the long run, if the Antarctic ice is melted by "ice-eating rocks", will it cause global sea level to rise?

It sounds a bit unfounded, but if humankind's current plan is followed, the operation in Antarctica will inevitably continue for a long time. Maybe the impact will be minimal in a day, a month, or a year. But if we take the century as a unit, this problem will be

It must be included in the thinking of "global strategy".

Of course, this problem has nothing to do with George, the ordinary maintainer of the Nimitz aircraft carrier. He was just wearing a thick cotton coat and standing on the deck against the cold wind. He looked at this huge combined fleet and lamented that the world has changed so much.

Fast, almost the same every day.

Three months ago, in June, when George was doing daily maintenance, the "black-robed priest" Charles once mentioned to him, "The old guy under you might still have a chance to move around." George realized that in the future

There may be a war on earth, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

This huge fleet with ten aircraft carriers as its core will be the main force in this Antarctic battle.

Even at this moment, in major shipyards and military ports around the world, the second batch of combined fleets are being refitted and trained, also with ten aircraft carriers as the core. After the first batch of fleets completes their phased tasks, they will take over the war, and so on.

.

Twenty aircraft carriers, more than a thousand escort attack ships and submarines, this is almost the wealth of all countries in the world combined.

The daily expenses are enough to make a small bank declare bankruptcy, and the resources consumed are simply astronomical. Even with extraordinary help, fighting in the frozen sea is dangerous for a modern fleet, and this war will definitely

It's a tug-of-war, and no one knows how long it will last.

But even so, the Antarctic campaign continued.

Difficulties and risks are never a problem.

"Getting huge benefits that are enough to repay the cost" is the most critical factor in whether the military operation can be promoted!

The Antarctica plan was proposed by a senior member of the Council. After careful discussion, it was finally adopted and implemented without hesitation.

Because it was of great significance to devote all the power of the modern navy, the Council decided to establish a branch in Antarctica. Due to climate and geographical factors, the Council even asked for the help of the temple, pleading for help to build a city in the ice and snow of Antarctica.

The temple responded "The establishment of the secret realm of the Seven Continents Branch of the Council will begin in October, when extraordinary craftsmen will create a majestic city in Antarctica."

——The Temple approved the Council's plan for the "Plunder War in Antarctica".

Although there is no city that blocks the wind and snow at this time, the status of the Antarctic branch is already faintly above other branches.

The senior council member who proposed the plan received unanimous appreciation and admiration, and was elected as the general director of the Antarctica Division without any resistance.

His name is Zhang Changqian!

Under the will of the Council, the Antarctic War slowly began.

On September 12, the day Augustus was "killing bugs" in Florence, the combined fleet arrived at the Antarctic Peninsula.

Now, the Antarctic Peninsula has become the temporary base of the Antarctic Branch of the Council. The climate here is relatively warm, and the soil is still exposed in many places. And importantly, many countries have established scientific research stations here and have infrastructure.

The huge fleet is slowly anchored. When the "Antarctic War of Predation" plan was launched, a large port began to be built here. Although the war started on the vast coast of the frozen land on the opposite side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the peninsula will serve as an important place for supplies and rest. Ports are also indispensable.

Amid the repeated orders, the soldiers disembarked one after another and entered the built camps to rest, drink hot broth, and wait for the real battle to begin.

…

Antarctic Peninsula, China Scientific Research Station "Great Wall Station".

Zhang Changqian sat behind his desk and carefully looked at the documents sent by his subordinates. He has always been a micro-manager. Even if he became the person in charge of Antarctica and had a heavy task, he would try his best to understand every detail as much as his energy allowed. thing.

The factors of failure are often hidden in the smallest details, and Zhang Changqian knows this truth very well.

Temporarily taking charge of all the naval forces in the world and starting a war in Antarctica, he was under tremendous pressure, but the habits he and his wife had developed while preparing for pregnancy still came into play: Zhang Changqian still held the cigarette between his fingers and did not light it.

Beep, beep, beep, there was a knock on the door, but the guard did not announce it.

In Antarctica, when visiting Zhang Changqian, there are only two people who do not need to notify in advance.

"Come in..."

Xia Jinyan walked into the room, closed the door, looked at the cigarette in Zhang Changqian's hand, and suddenly burst into laughter:

"It's okay to smoke a few secretly... I'm half a world away from my sister-in-law, and she won't know."

"That won't work, Brother Xia, you don't know that pregnant women are very sensitive. Even if we make a video call, my sister-in-law can smell the cigarette smoke on my body!"

"You are just being strict with your wife." Xia Jinyan chuckled and sat across from him. He and Zhang Changqian had known each other in Yucheng. They both held great power in Antarctica. They met old friends in a foreign land and had the same goal. Their relationship was stronger than ever. close.

"Ahem, let's get down to business..." Zhang Changqian put the cigarette back into the small iron box and said seriously:

"The fleet is parked here, burning money every minute. If you and Elroy are ready, I will start the war the day after tomorrow." He paused, as if a sword passed through his eyes:

"The war of plunder against the Abyss of Oblivion!"
