Chapter 236 Chinese friends can't hold their breath
If Operation Skyfire ends here, there is no doubt that it will be a joke in the history of international military affairs, and the Chinese navy will also become an international joke. This is definitely not what the young Chinese navy can bear now. With the reconnaissance mission, The Golden Eagle sent back the relevant battle report, and the look on Chen Shichang's face became gloomy for a time. He already had a comprehensive understanding of the true performance of the Trident from the report in front of him. After this battle, the Trident will definitely cause the United States to return the favor. Other military powers in the world are paying close attention to it. In other words, from now on, the Trident will no longer be a secret weapon. When it is put into use again, it will definitely be subject to targeted defense and its power will definitely be compromised. The country will get two The personal safety of the head of state was a bet for such an opportunity for a sneak attack. As the executor, Chen Shichang set himself the goal of sinking at least all the aircraft carriers of the Atlantic Fleet, and the perfect answer was to annihilate them all.
Before the war, the Trident carried considerable expectations among naval cadets. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The Trident performed abnormally and only brought a little itchy pain to the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. The news in the battle report spread Come on, the naval cadets in our formation were suddenly speechless.
The atmosphere in the captain's room suddenly became awkward. Chen Shichang noticed this. He immediately adjusted his mentality and shouted into the walkie-talkie: "The battle has just begun. Why are everyone so exhausted? There will be no missiles without missiles." Did we have a war? Don’t forget that when it was sunk, let alone missiles, we didn’t even have an aircraft carrier. Didn’t we still win that time?”
"Sink it" is the pride of naval officers. It was from that time that the Chinese Navy began to rise. But now, the Japanese combined fleet that once showed off its power in the East China Sea, South China Sea and other China Seas has become a thing of yesterday. China's Pacific Fleet has become a new symbol of invincibility in Asia and even the Pacific region.
Chen Shichang's words were like a blow to the head. Many people woke up immediately. The morale of the formation immediately changed and returned to the normal state.
"If this battle really fails, it will be because they relied too much on the Trident. Now, it depends on Huang Haiqiang and the others." Chen Shichang thought to himself, picked up the microphone and asked the communications department to help connect Huang Haiqiang.
When the Chinese sturgeon swarm began to bombard the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, Huang Haiqiang had already led his team to launch an attack.
Regarding the "French Guiana" naval battle, because of its "ignition of the Third World War" and "the battle that set the tone for the Sino-US naval war", it has a special status in the hearts of later generations of military historians, unlike France. Yusko, a German military historian of the same period, almost ignored new fighting methods and weapons such as the trident in his discussion of the "Magic Guyana" naval battle, and only described Huang Haiqiang's "ambush battle" with thick ink. .
"Obviously, General Nimitz made a common sense mistake here. At that time, the Chinese Navy's Trident cluster firing and Chinese sturgeon swarm bombing were indeed very frightening, but I thought this was definitely not possible. The excuse for ignoring the threat of traditional naval warfare methods. According to the information obtained from the post-war investigation, because the then US Army Captain Dyson reported to his superiors that there were abnormal sea conditions in the sea area where the fleet was located, General Nimitz actually had the opportunity to take precautions at that time. In the future, China's powerful submarine fleet in the Yellow Sea will be kept outside the safety line..."
Looking back to the battlefield, when Chen Shichang contacted Huang Haiqiang and learned that he was leading a team to launch an attack on the two aircraft carriers of the US Atlantic Fleet, Chen Shichang knew that the success or failure of this battle depended on this action, so he did not give any orders. He just said: "Congratulations." Then he hung up the phone.
The U.S. Atlantic Fleet has a total of two aircraft carriers, which are also the only long-range offensive force of the Americans. If there is a problem with these two aircraft carriers, it means that the U.S. Atlantic Fleet will only be able to play the role of "sufferer" in the next period of time. Role, the third formation of the Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet or even the main formation may join the battlefield. After all, the waters of French Guinaia are still quite far away from the mainland of the United States. Even if the Americans use air support, it is impossible to get ahead of Genghis Khan. The main formation of the USS aircraft carrier fleet arrived at the battlefield before.
"Order to release all fighter planes, order the third array, this array will advance at full speed, the battle has just begun." After hanging up the phone with Huang Haiqiang, Chen Shichang gave the order loudly.
Under his order, the third array mixed fleet and all the aircraft carriers of this array began to launch fighter jets at the fastest speed. At the same time, all ships increased their speed to the maximum and began to sail towards the battle waters.
Only five minutes had passed since he issued this order. Huang Haiqiang issued an order to attack freely in the sea area where the battle was taking place.
The United States, the White House, when Truman was awakened by the ringing of the phone, only a quarter of an hour had passed since Mei Lanshu held a press conference.
The call came from the President's Office, and the person who sent the text message informing the President's Office of China's declaration of war on the United States was Leighton Stuart, the current U.S. Ambassador to China.
"At this moment, Leighton Stuart did not betray his country. When Gao En, the New York Times reporter based in Chongqing, found him, he did not hesitate to send the declaration of war back to the country. However, regrettably, President Truman did not appreciate it, but regarded Ambassador Stuart's move as a demonstration to the government. Perhaps because he was distracted by this matter, President Truman did not expect that the Atlantic Fleet was adjacent to a Chinese fleet, that is, It gave the despicable Chinese the opportunity to expand their victory. There is no doubt that if President Truman could have reacted immediately and sent reinforcements, the outcome of the Atlantic Fleet would not have been so tragic..."
,,Excerpted from "The Biography of Leighton Stuart" by American biographical novelist Sean Bunter.
Truman did not know in advance that the Office of Strategic Services was planning to assassinate Ouyang Yun and Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, after hanging up the phone in the President's Office and personally calling several senior military officials to hold an emergency meeting, he said: "China People have declared war on us on the pretext that our agents planned assassinations against their country’s leaders. It seems that our Chinese friends can no longer sit still.”
Just as senior officials of the Chinese government believe that China and the United States will have a war sooner or later, senior officials of the U.S. government also have this understanding. Moreover, because Truman and others believe that the time for war is not yet ripe, and they feel that senior officials of the Chinese government have the same idea as them, so they I feel that before the war between China and the United States, there will first be an endurance competition between the leaderships of the two countries, and in this endurance competition, the party that loses its composure first will fall into passivity.
