Chapter 37 The Best and the Worst News
Many of the staff members didn't discuss the reason.
Instead of stopping the staff who had fought red, Widet quietly left the fleet headquarters and came to the outside shore bridge.
When receiving the order from the Naval Command, Widet was a little surprised and even once doubted whether Fernandez was still loyal to the motherland. Although Widet and Fernandez had fought for several years and the contradictions were already irreconcilable, Widet believed that Fernandez did not betray the motherland because real naval soldiers would never betray the motherland.
After a few days, Widet was speculating on Fernandez's intention.
Whidet knew that Fernandez was able to be the chief of staff of the Shanghai Army, in addition to changing his ruthlessness to the United States, had a lot to do with his political mind. Simply put, Fernandez knew very well the Prime Minister's intention to lead the important members of Congress, while Whidet was a not very understanding soldier.
After being "exiled" to the Western Fleet, Widet understood why he lost to Fernandez.
Fernandez, despite the opposition of dozens of generals, decided to fight the decisive battle with the Chinese Navy, is likely not his own wish, but the intention of the prime minister or some members of Congress.
The reason is very simple, the temptation to defeat the Chinese navy is too great.
If India wants to dominate the Indian Ocean and become a world power, it must defeat China militarily. Force China to recognize India's position in the Indian Ocean region and the world. Compared with making trouble on the land battlefield, it is more meaningful to find opportunities on the marine battlefield.
On the land battlefield, affected by the natural environment, India can only carry out strategic defense. It is not that the Indian Army has no ambition to defeat the Chinese Army, but that the actual situation is extremely unfavorable to the Indian Army. The Chinese Army launches an attack and only needs to improve the infrastructure in the rear. Cross the Himalayas and then cross the Himalayas and then advance into the Ganges Plain. The Indian Army launches an attack. Even if it does not need to worry about the infrastructure in the rear, it is more difficult to cross the Himalayas than to climb the sky. In other words, even if the Chinese Army is not good, it can use the Himalayas and the sparsely populated Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to block the Indian Army and let the Indian Army retreat.
There is no barrier to the ocean from mountains, and its geographical location is very beneficial to India.
Due to the restrictions of the island chain in Southeast Asia, if the Chinese Navy wants to enter the Indian Ocean, it must pass through several dangerous passages such as the Strait of Malacca, Sunda Strait and Lombok Strait. Although India is a concave of many kilometers from Southeast Asia, the Andaman-Nicobar Islands are located at the western end of the Strait of Malacca, only a thousand kilometers away from the Sunda Strait, and Australia is south of the Strait of Lombok. In other words, the Indian Navy is in a favorable position where it can attack and retreat and defend.
With geographical advantages, what the Indian Navy lacks is a powerful fleet.
In fact, before the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the Indian Navy had already controlled the Indian Ocean. However, no one expected that the powerful Indian fleet would fall into the hands of the thugs, a Chinese submarine, and lost all his money.
Most Indians, including Widet, believe that as long as India has a strong navy, it can defend the Indian Ocean and block the Chinese navy from the Indian Ocean. As long as the Chinese navy cannot enter the Indian Ocean, it will not be able to make the fleet carrying arms and materials go to Pakistan. Perhaps it is because of the fact that China is not very at ease with the maritime route that China has spent huge amounts of money to build a railway to Pakistan on the Pamir Plateau. If it can impose a maritime blockade on Pakistan, India will have enough ability to defeat Pakistan and become the overlord of South Asia. And then become the overlord of the Indian Ocean.
To prove whether you have a strong enough navy, the only way is to defeat China
.
Fundamentally speaking, India's view is not correct.
As long as the Chinese navy is defeated, India can defeat China's war ambitions and thus avoid larger ground wars.
Under this temptation, Fernandez will definitely take the risk of taking a gamble. Of course, the Prime Minister and Congress members are also likely to take a gamble with the Indian Navy.
If the bet wins, India can avoid disaster; if the bet loses, India will suffer another crushing defeat.
The question is, is there a possibility of winning a bet?
Two fleets of the Chinese Navy left the port in the Flying Sun and the Setting Sun. If they headed south at full speed, they would definitely enter the Indian Ocean before July. More importantly, after the two fleets entered the sea, they disappeared without a trace, and even the US military reconnaissance satellites could not find their whereabouts.
So confidential. The Chinese Navy's intention to war is very obvious.
Obviously, the Chinese Navy is ready.
In order to defeat the well-prepared Chinese Navy, the Indian Navy is still far from being able to defeat the fully prepared Chinese Navy.
What Widet was most worried about was not the six aircraft carrier battle groups. After all, the Indian Navy made great progress this year, and the assistance provided by the United States was also in place. In the case of equality, even if the Indian fleet's winning rate was not irrigated, it would not even have a chance to fight back. What Widet was worried about was two other forces, one was the Chinese Navy's submarines, and the other was the strategic strike force of the Chinese Air Force.
Needless to say, the submarines were lost during the Fourth India-Pakistan War. Since the Chinese Navy entered the ocean, its submarine strength has always been among the top two in the world. Not to mention the Indian Navy, even the US Navy is not sure to defeat China's submarine force.
Strategic strike force is one of the fastest-growing forces of the Chinese air force and a symbol of the strength of a great power. As long as the Chinese air force obtains an air passage into the Indian Ocean, it can use hundreds of strategic bombers to flood any fleet. During the Japanese war, the Japanese Navy was defeated by China's strategic strike force. Wildet has enough reason to believe that Myanmar and Bangladesh Congress will face China.
The bomber is "opening the net" and "six" even if Myanmar and Xiaojiala do not allow the second thugs to enter the country, the Chinese Air Force can take action without saying hello, while Myanmar and Bangladesh basically have no national air defense capabilities. Not to mention dealing with Chinese bombers, it is very difficult to find Chinese bombers. Although this will lead to a diplomatic crisis, China can improve relations with these two countries after defeating India.
Faced with these two forces, does the Indian Navy have a chance of winning?
Perhaps some Indian naval generals had some fantasy, believing that in order to prove their own strength, the Chinese Navy would not fight in concert with the Air Force, or even let submarines go alone, but would make the aircraft carrier battle group the main force of the navy through this war. That is, let the aircraft carrier battle group fight the Indian fleet alone.
Is there such a possibility?
Widet had no fantasy. War is not a joke, and the strong are by no means "Zhongshi" on the battlefield. Besides, China's military reform has been carried out for several years. The main purpose is to integrate various military forces, establish a joint strike system, and weaken the independence of various military branches. Defeating the Indian Navy is not the task of the Chinese Navy, but the task of the Chinese army.
At that time, the Indian Navy, which basically does not have joint combat capabilities, has no hope?
No hope does not mean retreating.
Although Widet knew Fernandez's political intentions, he had to admit that the Navy Command's combat plan was the most appropriate tactical arrangement at present.
Letting the Western Fleet move forward to lure the enemy and providing cover for the strike force is equivalent to preparing to sacrifice the Western Fleet.
The real strike force is the Eastern Fleet and the long-range aviation force deployed on the Andaman-Nicobar Islands. As long as the Western Fleet arrives near the Sunda Strait and discovers the Chinese fleet, the strike operation will begin. At that time, the first round of attacks will be launched by the long-range aviation force and the second round of attacks will be launched by the Eastern Fleet. During this period, the Western Fleet will dispatch escort fighters and carrier-based early warning aircraft to provide cover and guidance for the attack aircraft group. During the two-round strike operation, the forward submarine group, which serves as a supplementary force, will sneak attack the Chinese fleet and expand the results. As long as the strike operation is successful, the opportunity to annihilate the Chinese fleet is on the rise.
On the top, the chance of severely damaging the Chinese fleet is more than 8. Although the Indian Navy may have the gills, the only loss is the Western fleet. The eastern fleet that remains in the western waters of the Andaman-Nicobar Islands will not be threatened. Because the eastern fleet is about kilometers away from the Sunda Strait and about kilometers away from the Malacca Strait! Milk kilometers, both are outside the strike range of Chinese carrier-based fighters, so as long as the eastern fleet can retreat to the local direction in time, it can avoid the attack of the Chinese fleet. At that time, even if only the eastern fleet is left, the Indian Navy can pose a threat to the Chinese fleet entering the Indian Ocean.
Advance can attack and retreat can defend, and the Indian Navy has been invincible.
Is this really the case?
Widet was a little uneasy.
There are three prerequisites for the Navy Command's combat plan. One is that the Chinese fleet enters the Indian Ocean from the Sunda Strait, the second is that the Chinese fleet can be discovered in time to enter the attack range, and the third is that the Chinese Navy does not use other forces to deal with the eastern fleet that remains behind.
As long as any of these conditions are not true, the Indian Navy's chances of victory are very slim.
In order to achieve the first order, the Indian Navy must rely on the military intelligence provided by the United States. This problem is not big. The US Seventh Fleet is "staying in Gou" in Singapore, let alone a huge fleet of dozens of warships, even a speedboat cannot pass through the Strait of Malacca from the eyes of the US military. As long as the commander of the Chinese fleet is a little bit wise, he will not risk going to the Strait of Malacca, but will enter the Indian Ocean through the Sunda Strait. It is precisely because of this that the Indian Navy Command concluded that the Chinese fleet would appear in the Sunda Strait.
It is not very difficult to achieve the second condition. The narrowest part of the strait is dozens of kilometers. The sea-surface warships are not submarines, and the noise they make is very loud and will definitely be discovered by nearby submarines. Although the Chinese Navy is likely to deploy submarines near the Sunda Strait in advance to open the way for the fleet to arrive. However, the United States has mobilized reconnaissance satellites to monitor the Sunda Strait, and any large ships appearing in the strait will be discovered by satellites. No matter how strong the anti-reconnaissance capabilities of the Chinese fleet are, it is impossible for several Husband-type warships to quietly slip through the strait, which is only a few kilometers wide.
The last problem is the most troublesome. In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, the Chinese Navy will definitely use support forces.
Not to mention, several submarines of the Chinese Navy have already left the port, and some of them must have entered the Indian Ocean in advance. Although sea-surface warships cannot pass through the Malacca Strait and the Sunda Strait quietly, those submarines with advanced performance are very sure to avoid the US surveillance force and appear at any location in the East Indian Ocean.
What comforted Widet was that the war would break out in the early morning of August thugs.
One day earlier or one day later, the Indian Navy had a great influence.
If the war breaks out in the early morning of July, the Western Fleet can only reach Simelu Island at most about kilometer west of Sumatra Island, and there are still thugs to make kilometers from the Sunda Strait. Even if the Ma Si fighter aircraft carry weapons and ammunition according to the air-optimal mission and use four external pyramids to carry the secondary fuel tank, it can only fight over the battlefield thousands of meters away, and cannot provide enough cover for the attack aircraft fleet. One day later, the Western Fleet can shorten the distance to about kilometer, so that the Ma Si fighter aircraft can fight on the Sunda Strait at least minutes without carrying the secondary fuel tank, providing sufficient cover and support for the attack aircraft fleet.
Whether enough escort fighter jets can be invested determines the ultimate success or failure of the attack operation.
It is obvious that when the Imperialien Order formulated combat plans and issued combat orders, the second and second were exactly the "last card" issued by China.
The question is, will China abide by the "rules of the game"?
Widet was a little worried, but he couldn't find a reason for China to break the "rules of the game".
"The Last Tongshi" was issued by China, which means that as long as India responds to the Sikkim issue before this, it will not undermine peace. If China initiates a war before this, then China will lose justice and thus lose the support and recognition of the international community.
China has found sufficient reasons for every war.
As long as China intends to completely defeat India, it will definitely require a sufficient reason.
This idea made Widet no longer have any worries. As long as the war breaks out in the early morning of August thugs, the Indian Navy will face the Chinese Navy that has come from afar with the strongest lineup, with the probability of victory above the arising. As long as you seize this opportunity, the Indian Navy can fight a very beautiful turnaround and become the second largest navy in the world.
The sudden ignited confidence made Widet excited.
Back at the fleet headquarters, Widets shut his mouth for the still-disputed staff and then ordered the anti-submarine patrol to be strengthened.
Before arriving at the war zone, the biggest threat to the Western fleet was the submarines under the sea.
After instructing the aviation combat staff to arrange escort combat missions as soon as possible, Widet left the fleet headquarters.
It happened to be a bit ugly at this time.
A thousand meters away from the old mouth, six aircraft carriers are slowly unloading the combined camouflage curtain wall covering the hull on the sea surface of Pontianak, Indonesia. However, the four anti-reconnaissance electronic devices installed on both sides of the aircraft carrier's flight deck are still working. The electronic signals used to deceive the enemy's reconnaissance system are continuously being fired out.
Seeing the aircraft carrier that had recovered its true face, Hua Jianfeng looked at Yang Jinjie standing behind him.
Yang Jinjie smiled, glanced at his watch, and said, "Hello Time Network."
"Go and prepare, don't miss the feast tonight."
Hearing Hua Jianfeng's words, the staff officer waiting by the side immediately conveyed the combat order.
As the lift rose, the first batch of combat-ready fighter jets arrived on the flight deck.
The years of hard work have only brought about a few hours of battle.
As early as the Peninsula War, the Republic's Navy invested heavily in the development of anti-reconnaissance systems specifically used to deal with reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance aircraft.
Initially, the Navy focused on "three-dimensional laser virtual scene technology".
Facts have proved that it is very difficult to disguise a thug. It is not that there is no basic technology, but that the aircraft carrier is too large and has higher requirements for basic technology.
It is difficult to determine that "virtual scene technology" has practical capabilities before Lilien years. The Navy returned to the old path.
The easiest method is often the most applicable method.
The camouflage curtain wall made of light composite materials is not only cheap, but also very convenient to use. Even if the aircraft carrier with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons is disguised as a thug and stewed, the cost is only 00,000 yuan. Although the camouflage effect is not very good at close range, it is easy to split the camouflage curtain wall out of the naked eye, for reconnaissance satellites in space and reconnaissance aircraft hundreds of kilometers away, the camouflage curtain wall does not need to consider the visual camouflage effect, it only needs to deal with radar, infrared cameras and visible light cameras with a resolution of about meter, even if they are made a little rough, they will not reveal their feet.
The biggest problem with using camouflage curtain walls is that fighter jets cannot be parked on the flight deck.
For the three "Beijing" class aircraft carriers, this problem is not very big, because when designing, it is required that the knife-mounted fighters of three tactical aviation brigades be able to be placed in the hangar with another thug, and there is no need to tie fighters on the flight deck. The problem of the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier is relatively serious. It can only store Zhaohai carriers and 8 other carrier-based aircraft in the hangar, and the remaining carrier-based aircraft must be tied on the flight deck. In this way, the three "Huaxia" class aircraft carriers affiliated to the South China Sea Fleet can only carry Zhaohai fighters, 4 early warning aircraft and 4 anti-submarine patrol aircraft. The combat effectiveness of reducing attack capabilities is both necessary and necessary.
If the fleet's whereabouts are exposed, even if there are more fighter jets, it will be useless.
As the first batch of carrier-based early warning aircraft carrying out fleet air defense missions took off, the first batch of carrier-based fighters were dragged to the ejection point, and the engine sprayed out bright tail flames.
Hua Jianfeng left the bridge, walked around the aviation combat center of the "Beijing", and then went to the Fleet Command.
Yang Jinjie is fully responsible for aviation combat missions. Hua Jianfeng does not need to be involved in it, and Hua Jianfeng cannot be involved in it.
After asking the communications officer and confirming that he had not received the new order from the Navy Command, Hua Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief and his heart was relieved.
According to the penalty, if there is a change in combat operations, the Navy Command will send a message before the ugly witch.
In other words, as long as you do not receive the message before digging the stone, you will launch an attack according to the scheduled plan.
For Hua Jianfeng, there is no news at this time. It is the best news.
