The news that Iraq and Syria had formed a federal government, together with the news of the return of the three-aircraft carrier battle group of the Huaxia fleet, appeared all over the world at the same time, and it can almost be said that once again set off a huge storm of public opinion around the world.

The huge fleet has made a huge use of the Persian Gulf, and in the Persian Gulf, which is as small as a footwash, there is no room for any fleet of comparable size to turn around.

If in the time of war, without formally seizing air supremacy, and destroying all the opponent's long-range attack firepower, let the aircraft carrier battle group enter the Persian Gulf, it is simply an act of looking for a fight.

Even if it is an American aircraft carrier, it will not dare to enter the Persian Gulf in the event of a war, and of course, this is also a matter of dividing the opponent when.

If the opponent is a country like Iran, then before the United States takes action, it must ensure that the Iranian navy is completely wiped out, and at the same time, the firepower of the shore defense will not threaten the safety of warships.

Then the minesweepers clear the torpedoes close to the Iranian seas, and the aircraft carrier battle group only needs to conduct operations in the Arabian Sea.

If the target is the current Iraq, then the US aircraft carrier battle group will definitely need to stay away as much as it can.

According to the U.S. Navy's Aircraft Carrier Strike Group's Operational Manual, the aircraft carrier must operate from a safe distance in the face of a war enemy with a strong denial capability.

Otherwise, in the face of the strength of other people's shore-based air forces, no matter how powerful an aircraft carrier battle group is, how many fighters can be dispatched to intercept it, and whether the air defense of the fleet can really destroy all the incoming fighters.

Of course. If you encounter no way, you should go up or still have to go.

Under normal circumstances, it is natural to avoid danger by avoiding it.

There is no security in the Persian Gulf. The United States knows this, and Cai Ruichen also knows even more that as soon as the Iraqi Navy's dual-aircraft carrier battle group was established, Cai Ruichen directly sent them out.

It just so happened to leave with the old fleet that was ready to leave, and the five huge aircraft carriers, plus all the other warships, formed a huge fleet group. The operational range, covering the entire area adjacent to the Persian Gulf.

Exit from the Strait of Hormuz, originally all merchant ships and oil tankers that were going to enter the Persian Gulf. It's all about waiting on the sidelines.

A vast fleet of ships, more than 40 main combat ships, plus five aircraft carriers, from World War II to the present. That's all extremely rare.

Even during the Iraq War and the Gulf War. The United States dispatched a maximum of four aircraft carriers, two in the Persian Gulf and two in the Mediterranean.

The United States has hardly formed a huge fleet group of four or more aircraft carriers at the same time, at most a two-carrier battle group or a three-carrier battle group.

In fact, this is also the first time that the United States has been able to encounter a single aircraft carrier battle group that can enable the United States to dispatch more than four aircraft carrier battle groups at the same time in the current global challenge.

When I came over, it was a mighty road. When I returned, the scale was even stronger.

Originally in the fleet of his hometown. Among them, the largest Liaoning ship can already be called a giant ship, but now in front of the four Baghdad-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, it is completely a small guy.

It looks a little bigger than the two amphibious assault ships next to it.

At this time, three days had passed since the launching ceremony, and three days of preparation had taken place before the warships of both sides began to leave the Persian Gulf.

Such efficiency is also extremely rare in other countries.

In the case of the United States, an aircraft carrier battle group calling at the port is not just a matter of leaving immediately, and it will take at least four or five days to make various preparations and conduct a comprehensive inspection of equipment.

Of course, this is a matter of peace, and if it is in a time of war, the length of preparation is determined by the situation of the mission.

In peacetime, after the ship docks, part of the crew begins to take a vacation, and the ship will begin to replenish supplies and fuel, ammunition, and overhaul equipment, which normally takes at least several months.

Originally, many people thought that if the two aircraft carriers in their hometown wanted to set sail, they would need to prepare for at least ten and a half days.

It took only three days to set off, and the most surprising thing was that the efficiency of the Iraqi Navy's preparation was even more amazing.

It's okay to say that the two aircraft carriers in their hometowns are empty.

The Iraqi Navy, which followed the sortie, was all fully manned, the number of carrier-based aircraft reached the highest rated number, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were loaded onto the aircraft carrier, and the other warships were all sailing with fuel and ammunition.

In three days, all this was completed, and the world officially saw what is called the speed of the Iraqi Navy.

If in the past, if someone said that an aircraft carrier would be able to go to sea for combat effectiveness three days after launching, then this person would have to be said to be a madman.

But now, the facts have been put in front of everyone, and it can only be said that the world is still the same, but the Future Technology Group and the Iraqis are a little crazy and scary.

Fortunately, the Iraqi Navy has not really used the aircraft carrier for combat readiness cruise, and this time it went out of the Persian Gulf for the aircraft carrier's sea trials.

The Persian Gulf is just a small lake for aircraft carriers, and the real battlefield of aircraft carriers is above the ocean, and it is simply a joke to use a lake to test the ability of a giant dragon.

The best place to test the real performance of an aircraft carrier is that in the depths of the ocean, it can still exert its combat capability under complex meteorological conditions and sea conditions, and the aircraft carrier is only half qualified.

Therefore, this time, the return trip of the hometown fleet is not directly returning to China through the Strait of Malacca, but also in the central waters of the Indian Ocean, at the equatorial line, using the complex sea conditions brought by the circulation of the Indian Ocean to test whether the aircraft carrier can still be as stable as Mount Tai under the rough and undulating sea, and whether all the equipment and hardware facilities on it meet the requirements of actual combat.

This is also required by the hometown, after all, the aircraft carrier seen on the slipway is still very different from the aircraft carrier in actual combat.

My hometown has already paid 200 million tons of refined iron ore for these two aircraft carriers, and it is naturally something I hope to buy, and it is a genuine good thing.

Even if the hometown side thinks that Cai Ruichen can't pit them, it is still extremely necessary to understand the details and all the performance details of the family members of the two new aircraft carriers.

And since the four aircraft carriers were launched together, the sea trials were also simply together, which just corroborated each other and could obtain more detailed test data. (To be continued.) )
