Liu Yijun is the commander-in-chief of the aircraft carrier No. 003. Before this voyage, he expected that he might have friction with the other party during the renovation in Djibouti, and also made a lot of plans for this. But in fact, everything was calm from the aircraft carrier formation approaching the Djibouti base, until it was docked at the Djibouti military port, and even after the officers and soldiers got off the ship to repair it, it was quiet.

As the commander-in-chief of the core combat group, he could naturally guess the reason.

It seems that they have overestimated the enemy's resilience. They have obviously not eased from the impact caused by the RSA technology. Even when facing their own deterrent actions, they still adopted conservative strategies.

However, the time this conservative strategy can last is limited. If breakthrough progress in other aspects cannot be achieved in a short period of time, the deterrent power of RSA decryption technology will gradually decline, and finally, after reaching a certain node, the intensity of confrontation between the two sides will begin to rise again.

Now it is facing a rare window of comprehensive suppression. It is precisely for this reason that the No. 003 fleet has extremely radically skipped the process of a large number of offshore testing and directly started this ocean-going trial, because China must expand its influence to the greatest extent in these two or three years.

The most important part of expanding influence is... to the upper hand.

Step on the big brother to take the position.

Therefore, Liu Yijun actually regrets that the other party has no reaction at all.

He stood on the bridge, looking at Camp Lemonnier, just over a dozen kilometers away, and said to Captain No. 003 next to him with some regret:

"Why are these kids so unscrupulous? I thought they would escort our entire fighter planes, and we were ready for the airplane, but they didn't even put a single fart, which was so fucking disappointing."

The captain on the side was Feng Bo. When he heard Liu Yijun’s complaint, he just chuckled and then replied:

"Didn't you listen to the comrades in the base? Since the last confrontation ended, the other party has become much more honest. This time we are coming. They have stopped all non-essential military operations two weeks in advance, and even planes rarely take off."

"The other party's strategy is obvious, to avoid all unnecessary military contacts, so as not to be taken by us and slapped them in the face."

"This strategy is very clever... If you say that the Ugly Kingdom is worthy of our strongest opponent, no matter how you scold them, this courage cannot be faked. They are definitely not just bullying the weak. They are also determined when they need to endure."

Liu Yijun nodded slightly and said:

"Otherwise, how could we be suppressed by them for so long? We can't underestimate the enemy."

"However, it's a pity this time. We came all the way from the South China Sea, and every time we went to a place, it was calm - except for the little bit of turbulence in the Gulf of Aden, the other areas can be said to be a stagnant pool."

"If we really continue like this, the strategic significance of our voyage will be much weaker."

"We want to take this opportunity to step on my elder brother's head. Who knows that my elder brother directly retracted his head back into the shell. You said this was a mess..."

Hearing Liu Yijun's metaphor, Feng Bo said with a lot of laughter:

"After all, some of the goals have been achieved. At least this time, we have repaired the port of Djibouti to support the comrades in the base. You didn't go to the meeting just now. You don't know how difficult it is for the comrades who are resident here."

Liu Yijun's face showed a look of ashamed. It was not that he was unwilling to attend the meeting or communicated with the lower-level officers. The reason why he stayed on the ship was purely because he thought that the other party might have some action, so he wanted to command immediately as the commander-in-chief to avoid being in a hurry because he was not on duty.

However, until now, time has gradually reached 9 o'clock in the evening, and there is still no movement in the other party's base. Obviously, they are not planning to stick their heads out at all.

After pausing for a moment, Liu Yijun asked:

"When you go to the meeting, what opinions have you heard? Tell me about any difficulties. After you go back, we will also report them to our superiors, so that we can also promote the solution."

Hearing this, Feng Bo grinned and said:

"Isn't the biggest difficulty the base more than ten kilometers away?"

"Let me say that, on this quiet night we are now, the officers and soldiers at Djibouti base have only enjoyed less than a month."

"Before this, the other party's flight harassment was a routine operation. Every day when we came to our side to blow the trumpet and rest, they would start taking off. Every time they took off, they would definitely go to the low altitude above our heads, and there were more than ten or twenty times a night."

"Our deployment in Djibouti Port is too weak, and there is no countermeasure to this situation. You said you want us to fly to their place, and there are only a few planes at the entire base? And they are all old J-10, which is not enough for people to see."

"So, when we talk to the comrades here, eating is not a problem or wearing is not a problem. The biggest problem is sleeping."

"We both climbed up step by step from the soldiers. We have been soldiers and brought soldiers. When we were in training wars, we were most afraid of not having a sleep or not?"

"You can always rely on your physical fitness to support other problems, but sleep is a matter of... If there are problems for a long time, fatigue is a trivial matter, and mental breakdown is not uncommon."

Liu Yijun, who was beside him frowned, turned his head and looked straight into Feng Bo's eyes, and asked word by word:

"Tell me honestly, is there something wrong in our base?"

"No, I haven't reached that point yet. However, if they hadn't been honest some time ago, they might have continued to deteriorate..."

"Especially those service personnel who have not changed their resident bases, they are not able to rotate with the escort formation to sea like combatants, so they have become the hardest."

"Think about how hard our soldiers are? They are in a foreign country and do not enjoy much protection from the country. The equipment is not as good as others, the facilities are not as good as others, and they cannot fight back when they beat them, and they cannot fight back when they scold them. They finally got permission from their superiors. They called Lemonnier Camp to complain. Do you know what they say?"

"People say that they train normally and live in the ugly country."

"You said, what can you do to such a scoundrel? They will disgust you if they do other extraordinary things!"

"This is also because we have no experience. In fact, in this high-intensity confrontation environment, our personnel rotation should be accelerated."

Liu Yijun sighed deeply. If he hadn't come here in person, he wouldn't have thought that the biggest difficulty facing this base would be this.

Looking down from a high point, he actually knew that there was a confrontation between the two sides' bases and that his side was at a disadvantage, but he really couldn't understand what kind of experience it would be when this confrontation came to every ordinary officer and soldier.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"What about this? Is there anything else?"

"Yes, it's relatively difficult to replenish, there are few entertainment activities, low staffing, and often more than one person... But to be honest, compared to the anger that comes from Camp Lemonnier, these are all small problems."

"These problems need to be solved, and there is no rush. I think we have to give a breath to the comrades at Djibouti base first."

Hearing Feng Bo's words, Liu Yijun looked at him, and a heart-warming smile appeared on his face.

"What are you going to do?"

"You are the commander-in-chief of the formation, you have the final say."

"...Then you go and call the carrier-based aircraft wing commander---forget it, you can convey it yourself later."

"Command: Starting today, your ship will start to perform routine take-off and landing training. It is required that the daily take-off and landing number must reach more than 300. The subsequent orders shall prevail during the training period!"

"clear!"

Looking at Feng Bo's figure turning and leaving, Liu Yijun's eyes became a little cold.

His gaze turned to the distance Camp Lemonnier and thought to himself:

Starting today, it’s time for you to try the feeling of not sleeping.

...

Two hours later, Schneider and Wood in Camp Lemonnier walked out of the camp in amazement. They could not see the fighter planes flying through the night sky, but the sonic boom sound of one of the fighter planes breaking through the speed of sound at an ultra-low altitude rushed into their eardrums like thunder.

Until the roar gradually faded away, their ears still buzzed.

And this is far from the end. Before they could react, the second and third planes had already arrived one after another.
