0981 GDI's Carrier Program (I)
0981
Somewhere off the coast of Tokyo, two M Army Sea Hawk helicopters were flying at an ultra-low altitude over the sea, and their target, looking at the past from a distance, was just a small black dot, and if they did not fly higher, the crew would not be able to see the small black dot at all.

"Five minutes to prepare!" Suddenly, the pilot's voice rang out in the cabin, informing the crew of the distance between them and the target.
"Five minutes to prepare!" A heavily armed officer-like figure in the cockpit repeated. As they spoke, the other armed soldiers in the cockpit checked their weapons and equipment again, and silence returned to the cockpit, except for the sound of checking guns and ammunition.
Another three minutes passed.
"Two minutes to prepare!" The sound rang out again, and at the same time the cockpit doors on both sides of the Seahawk helicopter were pulled open, and a special forces soldier hung the rope so that it could be lowered at any moment's notice.
In front of the two helicopters, above the sea line, the lost drone carrier appeared in the crew's field of vision.
"Remember, I repeat, although this drone carrier does not have many personnel, the crew on board plus the technicians of the future technology company, there are still more than five hundred people! We don't have enough manpower to control all the personnel, and it's hard to tell who the enemy is, so in the face of people who don't have weapons, use tranquilizer bullets, and those who have weapons are allowed to shoot directly after the warning is ineffective! In groups of four, one person uses tranquilizer bullets and three people use live ammunition. Except for one group on the deck, all the other groups entered the cabin to search! ā
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, the locking warning devices in the cabins of the two helicopters screamed wildly! A black shadow swept over the Sea Hawk helicopter at high speed, and the turbulent air waves made the helicopter almost out of control!
Then, one of the Sea Eagles violently unleashed a large number of infrared jamming bombs, forming a wing-like scene on both sides! However, above the helicopter, an object crashed straight into the helicopter with white tail smoke!
"Boom!"
A fireball exploded in the air, and the Sea Hawk helicopter was completely blown to pieces! A large number of wreckage, along with the still struggling burning human body, fell into the sea!
"Hell!" When the crew of the other helicopter saw this scene, they were all gone, "It's a missile!" That drone carrier fired missiles at us! ā
"It's a missile launched by a drone!" The helicopter pilot was shouting, "The jamming bomb doesn't work at all!" I'm going to lower the height even more! Fix yourselves! ā
"Drop the weight! Helicopters need to lose weight! The co-pilot also shouted, "Throw away all unnecessary things!" ā
"Quick, throw!" Hearing this, the special operations captain was the first to throw his backpack off the helicopter - the more important ones such as weapons and life jackets were still on him - and the others followed suit and threw out items that seemed unimportant.
The weight of those spare equipment and ammunition is not light, and after throwing them all away, the helicopter suddenly lightened a lot, the speed also increased, and the pilot drove more easily, but this did not mean that they got rid of the threat of missiles, and on the vast sea, they had very little chance of escaping from the attack of missiles.
"Get your life jacket ready! We're ready to jump! After throwing away what could be thrown, the special operations captain saw that they still couldn't get out of the crisis, so he immediately told everyone his decision, "Let's abandon the plane!" ā
"Abandoned plane?" The co-pilot said loudly, "Lieutenant, what are you kidding?!" This is the sea, and the nearest coastline is more than 500 kilometers away! You don't want us to swim ashore, do you? Now Tokyo is at war, but no one can come to our rescue! ā
"Can you still fly back in a helicopter?!" The lieutenant yelled, "If we don't abandon the plane, we will only die!" Jump off, we still have a chance to live! The drone carrier is not far from us, and the ship is not moving, it just stops in place, and we have a chance to get on that ship! According to the information, those drones do not have the function of attacking scattered people, and we should be able to get on board through the blockade of drones! ā
"When is the information given above accurate!" The driver immediately yelled back, "If the information they gave in advance was accurate, how could we be in this situation!" ā
"Now we only have this one way, if we don't want to save ourselves, do we want to stay on the plane and wait for death? It's all a death anyway, so it's better to gamble! ā
"Boom!"
The last Seahawk helicopter was reduced to scattered debris in the air, and two canard-wing forward-swept jet drones flew past the helicopter explosion at high speed and then flew high into the air again, disappearing into the sky.
"It has just been confirmed that two M Army Sea Hawk helicopters were attacked by a swarm of drones when they were heading to the drone carrier 'Hive', and both Sea Hawks lost contact with the command." In a container truck, Cohen's men reported to everyone.
Lin Hai is not the only one who has left the hidden safety station, Cohen? Hartman's Future Technology Company and his party also evacuated with them. Hartman's own words are that it is safer to be with professional soldiers than to hide.
Of course, no one would believe this, he would choose to follow Lin Hai and the others, instead of hiding in that relatively complete hideout, just because he had dealt with Iron Eagle more times, and knew that Lin Hai, the Iron Eagle commander, would only have a higher safety factor than in the hideout.
"Sure enough, it's still too late." Lin Hai looked at Cohen, who was following him like a fart? Hartman, a little helplessly, said, "Is there any follow-up countermeasure on the M side?" ā
"Originally, they sent two groups of people to take a helicopter to the 'Hive' to recapture the drone carrier, after all, no matter how it is a drone carrier, the 'Hive' is still a 60,000-ton warship, and it is also a ship with combat effectiveness comparable to a regular aircraft carrier. In the Asian region now, after all the regular aircraft carriers of the M Army were transferred back to China to participate in the war, no aircraft carriers existed, and the combat effectiveness of the M Army was greatly affected. So they intend to recapture such a capital ship in its entirety. It's just that after the operation fails, they can't send more troops to carry out the next operation, so they can only ......"
"You're going to have to sink that mothership, right?" Lin Hai directly waved his hand to interrupt Cohen's words, he couldn't stand Cohen's way of turning things that could be explained in a few words into an article, "This choice is also normal, it is better to sink than to be used by the enemy to deal with yourself." It's just that, what do you think about the destruction of your own experimental battleship by the military, along with the survivors who may still exist on board? ā
"Of course, I hope to recapture the mothership in its entirety." Cohen spread his hands and said, "After all, we need more weapons and equipment to fight this battle now." Don't look at the fact that the M Army stationed in Japan now controls almost all the combat ships in the Haizi, but as I said before, the Japanese still have secretly built warships, and it is difficult to say how much combat strength the M Army can protect by assigning a lot of manpower to operate the Haizi warships. Judging from the fact that they have not been able to provide much support firepower for the battle on land, they must be in a mess now. We can't expect the Sea of Japan sailors caught by the Marines to fight alongside us and attack their troops. But if the M Army now has an aircraft carrier in hand, and it is a drone carrier that does not require too many people to control, then it is equivalent to liberating their combat power, even if those destroyers cannot fire, the drone carrier can send carrier-based aircraft to carry out precision strikes on ground targets. ā
"In fact, they can concentrate the ships of the sea in one place to watch over them or sink them all, and then put the Japanese crews in another place to watch them or secretly execute them, so that even if the Japanese ships cannot be used, at least the combat effectiveness of the M Army will not be weakened." Lin Hai said disdainfully, "The reason why you don't do this is just because you still want to use these people and equipment after the war to reorganize a new Japanese government that is still under the orders of country M." ā
"I don't know what the personnel will do with them, but I think the military actually intends to use those naval warships." Cohen hurriedly defended, "In the previous direct battle with the Sijing people, the M army lost a lot of warships, ranging from aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines to frigates and patrol ships, and these losses cannot be replenished in the blink of an eye, especially now that the mainland of country M is under attack, it is even more impossible to replenish those losses quickly." Instead of waiting for the shipyard to build a new ship, it is better to take the Japanese ship and use it ourselves. Anyway, most of these Japanese warships use the same systems as the Burke-class, and we only need to make some upgrades to them to use them normally. This is much faster than newbuilding, and at this time, country M can't take care of an ally like Japan. ā
"This kind of thing, in fact, has nothing to do with our Iron Eagle, not even with GDI - those ships are not GDI's. Now the problem is, if you really don't want that drone carrier, then you might as well give us the Iron Eagle, or donate it to GDI, anyway, there is only an army and a small number of air forces in the current GDI establishment, and the navy does not even have a small gunboat. Donating the drone carrier to the GDI is just right to give GDI a reason to develop the navy, and it can ask the United Nations for preparation. In this way, GDI will also have a reason to take back the drone carrier. ā
"After all, if you want your Iron Eagle to make a move, is the condition that you give you the ship?" Cohen looked at Lin Hai with a shocked expression, "In this case, the upper side would rather sink it." ā
"Do you think they can do it?" Lin Hai sneered, "I don't believe that the Japanese didn't think about this when they grabbed the ship, for example, if they succeeded in grabbing the ship and the M army failed to recapture it, they would simply kill the ship with the people." In the data you provided me for the 'Hive', there is no mention of the self-defense system of the 'Hive' drone carrier, plus the Japanese secret warship that may appear at any time, and the M Army, which is now in a hurry, is afraid that it will not be so easy to sink that mothership, right? Just send destroyers, aren't you afraid of being greeted by a swarm of drones with anti-ship missiles? Those M battleships are almost too busy now. ā
"Well, you're right." Cohen let out a long breath and said helplessly, "Since it is an experimental ship, after not considering how much cost it has, the 'Hive' unmanned mothership is equipped with eight Phalanx close defense guns, two laser interception systems, and a 4X8 missile vertical launch system. The firepower of a single ship is still good, and with a hundred unmanned fighters, there is no need for escort ships to independently conduct some small-scale operations. ā
"So, what price do you think the M fleet here will need to sink such a ship in the current situation?"
"It's going to be very difficult for them to sink this drone carrier." Cohen simply admitted, "Unless they have another drone carrier, or a regular aircraft carrier." Otherwise, they will not be able to do anything in the face of the enemy on both sides. ā
"Then please contact the M Army side quickly, unless you are willing to see the M Army fleet sunk by a few of your drones." "Don't forget to tell them that if they can't get the ship back, GDI will take it, but after that, the ship will be GDI's." By the way, I think the government of country M shouldn't have paid for the 'hive', right? Then GDI won't owe you a penny for the goods after they recapture the ship. Of course, after-sales can be powerful. ā
Wait for Cohen? Hartman left with a bitter face, and after going to negotiate with the M Army, Liu Yan ran over, and he asked in a hurried whisper: "I said dude, you don't really want that drone carrier, do you?" That thing doesn't mean much to us! ā
"Why not?" Lin Hai asked him rhetorically, "So far, we have only cargo ships and converted spy ships on the sea, and there is not a single regular warship. Now I can directly get my hands on an aircraft carrier, although it is only an experimental ship and a drone carrier, but it is also a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier, at least much stronger than those 20,000-30,000 light aircraft carriers. Of course, in the end, the establishment of this aircraft carrier will be GDI, but I will also win more support within GDI because of this - compared to Vice Admiral Sheffield, the commander-in-chief who always thinks about the interests of country M in everything, is it more reliable for me to fill in the aircraft carrier for GDI from the beginning? ā
"And where does the money come from for the purchase of aircraft carriers? Who will take care of it? Where does the money come from? Even if GDI belongs, the aircraft carrier must have a home port, right? Who's going to provide that? ā
"Money, if all the GDI is allowed to come out, of course it will be difficult for the United Nations to pass, after all, the GDI is funded by the UN Security Council, but we can contribute a large amount. Now that country M is directly attacked by the Sijing people, and the economy of country M has also been hit hard, the large amount of M banknotes in our hands will not be beautiful, and if we don't spend it quickly, we are afraid that it will be dirty as straw paper. We can also pay for the maintenance, and we can even maintain the aircraft carrier ourselves -- don't tell me that you have forgotten how low our maintenance costs are. As for the home port. Speaking of this, Lin Haiyin laughed, "As long as the United Nations agrees with GDI to obtain this aircraft carrier, then there will be a lot of opposition to finding a home port, at least within the United Nations, as for where to be the home port, we alone have two bases that can be used as the home port of the aircraft carrier, not to mention that we can take this opportunity to get a port from others." With the banner of GDI, it will be convenient for us to do anything. ā
"I found that you guy has been out there for so many years, and you are getting more and more insidious......"
"Am I called insidious? I should be called wise. ā
"Well, the skin is thicker."
