"Sir, I've contacted the sergeant general!" In addition to sending a transport plane escorted by Skyhawk fighters to the search and rescue operation team, the Ministry of Communications also did not stop calling the team members, because when they were blown away by the explosion before, nearly half of the team members' signal generators failed, making it impossible for the command to directly find them with the signal source, and because it was a desert area, the explosion also caused a large amount of sand and dust to fly, and the ability of optical observation equipment was greatly restricted. In this way, if you just send someone to find it, it will take a lot of time, not to mention that although the combat weapons of the Sijing people are already in a state of chaos, no one can be sure how long this chaos will last, once this chaos ends suddenly, then the Iron Eagle personnel who are caught in the search and rescue work will naturally be threatened, and they can't ignore the damage of plasma weapons.
"How's they doing?" Sun Dahai immediately asked, and then walked towards the position of the correspondent.
"The Master Chief has not yet been contacted, his positioning system is also faulty, the signal is intermittent, and only an approximate range can be determined. We were in contact with the other team members, three in all, and according to their own reports and the inspection of the vital monitoring equipment on the armor, one was slightly injured, only sprained his arm and leg; The other two were seriously injured, internal organs and required access to the medical chamber for in-depth treatment. ”
"How long will it take for the transport plane to arrive?"
"It has arrived, the search and rescue infantry is being lowered, and the escort fighters are clearing the Sijing combat weapons near the landing area."
"Let them move faster!" Sun Dahai frowned, and said a little anxiously, "We don't have so much time to waste!" ”
"What do you think, how about we directly occupy this Sijing base?" Lin Hai suddenly asked, "Didn't Chen Xi say it before. He destroyed the command center of this base, although we don't know how those Sijing people's combat weapons are controlled, but this does not prevent us from clearing those robots and occupying the base, after all, the Sijing people themselves have abandoned that base, so all we need is to spend some time to deal with those weapons. Then we have enough time to search for people. After all, because of Chen Xi's actions, that base has now become an undefended zone for us. We might be able to get more information about the Sijing people from there. ”
"It's unlikely, sir, the people of Country M won't let us get much benefit like this." "It's been ten minutes since we gave the warning, but they haven't heard any of them yet, and we don't know how they're going to answer or if they're not going to respond at all," Vatutin reminded. In short, the aircraft carrier fleet that we reconnoitred. A new wave of unmanned attack aircraft formations is being prepared, and this time, they dispatched not only drones, but also six F-18s to escort them. ”
"Do they have that many planes?" Lin Hai had a headache, and he asked, "Regardless of their final decision, anyway, it's a big deal that we have a fight with them, and it's not like we didn't get off their plane last time in Alvinson." We are in the Sahara theater of operations. There are nearly a hundred fighters alone, not to mention all kinds of ground anti-aircraft fire. They want to suppress us with just one aircraft carrier? Joke! ”
"Those drones didn't take off from aircraft carriers." Vatujing said, and then turned a set of videos to the screen in front of Lin Hai, "Look, what is the difference between that fleet and the M fleet you saw before?" ”
"Something different?" Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled. But I still watched the video carefully, "a large aircraft carrier...... Two through-deck amphibious assault ships...... Eight destroyers or frigates...... Two supply ships...... Two submarines. It looks like a pretty standard aircraft carrier fleet, right...... Still, why are there two amphibious assault ships? The people of country M want to fight a landing war with us? The Salaha region is still part of Egypt and Libya, right? Are the people of country M ready to ignore the sovereignty of other countries? ”
"When did they ever pay attention to the sovereignty of other countries? Just sending drones here to bomb has never been someone else's airspace. Vatutin smiled, then pointed to one of the amphibious assault ships on the screen and said, "Take a closer look at this amphibious assault ship." Is there anything strange about it? ”
Hearing him say this, Lin Hai took a closer look again, and really let him see something: "This thing looks a little weird, the position of the bridge is too far back, it's almost to the stern!" And what does that raised piece of facility in the stern mean? The plane is not afraid of crashing when it lands, or is it that all the planes on this ship take off and land vertically, and there is no need for a runway at all...... Wait, what class of attack ship is this? Why have I never seen one? A new ship for the M people? ”
"We don't know the level, the only thing we know is that those unmanned attack aircraft took off vertically from this ship." Vatujing said as he replayed the video to Lin Hai, "You have been watching the progress of the operation in the theater just now, so you didn't see it here, now that you have time, you can re-watch how this ship dispatched drones." ”
"I don't think so." Lin Hai waved his hand and refused, "I think I already know what this is all about. This ship is a product of the technology company of the future, and like those drones, it is their new product. As for how to take off and fight, I think it's about the same as our planes. ”
"Exactly." Vatutin nodded and said, "We plan to name this new ship a drone carrier, because there are only drones on this ship, and there are no other manned aircraft, helicopters, early warning aircraft and the like, all of which are replaced by drones." ”
"That way, there will be very few people on board." Lin Hai shrugged, "Cohen? Hartman simply has the appetite of the military of country M, and they want such a drone force to replace the human army, at least partially. Thinking about it this way, this ship is also likely to be an experimental ship. In this way, in addition to using the Sahara battlefield as a drone test site, the people of country M also tested a new type of drone carrier. If you want them to stop in this way, I'm afraid it will be more difficult. ”
"But those drones still have limited air combat capabilities."
"It depends on who they're up against. The Wind Rider of the Sijing people can fly manned or unmanned, and has a super ability to fight dogs at close range, and only forward-swept wing aircraft can compare their turning radius. But although the drones of Future Technology are also forward-swept wing aircraft, it is clear that they did not use aerial combat as their main combat mode from the beginning. And from a drone carrier like this equipped with so many such unmanned fighters, it shows that the cost control of this kind of aircraft is quite good, and the military of country M doesn't care no matter how much it loses, otherwise, before looking at it, there are almost more than forty of them shot down, not to mention that the number of them still taking off has reached more than twenty-four. It feels like those drones are made in country Z, and they are very cheap. ”
"Anyway, I think we should take Cohen more seriously than we used to? Hartman's future technology company. ”
"Of course." Lin Hai agreed, "If it weren't for the fact that we have a common enemy with them now, I would have ordered all kinds of strikes against them a long time ago. To Cohen? Hartman's decapitation may be difficult because this guy is too good at hiding, but we can still destroy their factories and research bases. ”
"Speaking of which," Vatutin suddenly came up with an idea, "maybe we can contact Cohen?" Hartman, let him come forward to warn the military of country M and tell them to stop the military operation here? ”
"It can't be." Lin Hai retorted very directly, "Cohen? Hartman didn't have such a big ability, and his influence on the military was not yet to the point of the Presbyterian Church. Don't forget, he's just a small part of the Holy Brotherhood now, and he's just just gained a foothold with the support of the military of Country M. He is now far from being able to influence the decisions of the military. At best, he can be a mouthpiece and liaison between us and the military of country M. ”
"So now, there is no reply to the warning issued by the people of country M, but they are still mobilizing troops and sending planes, what should we deal with?" (To be continued.) )
