"I can personally guarantee that the actions of the air force will not be interfered with by the 'Caucasus Reaper', and not only will the fighter wing attack with all its might, as always, but the attack aircraft wing and the strategic air force will continue to carry out high-intensity air strikes, giving the Russians no respite.

All in all, the current battlefield situation is still in our favor; The 'pincer offensive' formulated by the Pentagon requires the full cooperation of our three armed forces in order to be carried out as scheduled. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to replace the commander of the Central Command present, and the battle-hardened General Clark said something, which naturally silenced everyone present for the time being; Seeing the terrifying look on the face of the general, who was over fifty years old, Lawrence, who hesitated for a moment, still whispered a little question:

"So, Your Excellency, the appearance of the 'Grim Reaper' is a very real threat after all, and the actions of the Air Force will really not be affected in any way?"

"Oh, the impact? Naturally, there is. ”

Looking at Lawrence across the table, Clark intuitively felt that the rear admiral did not fully believe in his promises, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the time when he worked with Mitchell in the past, "The emergence of the Russian ace is a real threat to the actions of our army. But I would like to ask everyone here to think about how many fighters can an ace pilot, even if it is an ace like 'Death', take us down in one lift-off? - Five, or ten? ”

“……！”

In the face of the general's abrupt question, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned, and no one said anything for a while; And with the slow words, the look on Clark's face also became a little strange, as if he was greatly stimulated by the "Caucasian Grim Reaper". The corners of the elderly general's eyes twitched slightly unconsciously.

In order to complete the battle plan pressed down above. As a soldier who regards obedience to orders as his duty. Now he no longer wants to think about what means to spare his subordinates and engage in cheapness:

"'Caucasian Death', no matter how powerful he is, he is just a person. One person wants to confront the huge United States Air Force, challenge the thousands of fighters deployed by our army in the Caucasus theater, and slow down or even hinder the pace of our operations?

- No!

Even if he really is the 'Grim Reaper', he will never be able to do it. ”

……

The meeting in Ankara, which lasted until late at night.

On the second day after landing at the 224 regiment station, there was no dragon cloud who took to the air to attack. Participated in, or rather presided over, a morning of operational seminars at the Kherson base.

During this period, judging from the air briefings received by the regiment, it was obvious that the US Air Force was busy adjusting its deployment and reviewing its tactics after the previous day's air encounter, and the skies over the Caucasus appeared to be unusually calm in recent times. Since Americans are cowering for the time being, it is wise to take a break; So after taking a nap, Long Yun got into a jeep and went out that afternoon for a rare relaxation between battles.

But when it comes to relaxation, the location he chose was the city of Nikolaev, which surprised everyone.

Of course. Regarding the customs, humanities and landforms of western Ukraine, although Long Yun is very curious, he will not run out for leisurely sightseeing when the war is in full swing. Speaking of "Nikolaev", a medium-sized city on the shores of the Black Sea. What attracted him the most was another location:

Black Sea Shipyard.

In Long Yun's memories, the Black Sea Shipyard is a turbulent and contrasting image.

Recalling the memories from the real world, this important shipyard of the Red Navy has a glorious era when it covered an area of nearly 300 hectares in the 1970s, had more than 20,000 employees, and launched an aircraft carrier-class combat ship about every three years, and flourished into a modern large-scale shipbuilding base at an astonishing speed. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the unfinished nuclear-powered aircraft carrier hull was forced to be cut, the factory area was withered and dilapidated, and the overall operation tended to stagnation.

What kind of face will the Black Sea Shipyard, the cradle of aircraft carriers that carry the glory and dreams of the Red Navy, look like in this bizarre and bizarre parallel world?

Sitting in the UAZ-469 jeep that was jolting forward, this question kept lingering in Long Yun's mind.

In this way, it was not until the special security check in the Guò factory area, the registration in the guardhouse, the real car to the shore of the Black Sea with the sea breeze gusting, and the opening of the car door and stepping on the hard and rough cement dock, Long Yun can really see the answer.

The Black Sea shipyard in front of you, so to speak, is neither.

Right in front of him, at a glance, there was a busy scene everywhere on the docks and factories; Whether it is a civilian ship or a gray-blue warship that has been painted, it is either quietly moored on the surface of the water, or it is still staying in the slipway or large dock, and the workers are under intense construction. The unique metal knocking and mechanical roar of the shipyard, mixed with the wet and sultry sea breeze, blew on his face, making him unconsciously feel a burst of emotion.

The reborn "Liaoning", is this her "home"......

Stepping into the chaotic river of history, Long Yunji, who is on the shore of the Black Sea, looks out with his eyes in this busy scene, the ruins that occasionally appear in the line of sight, and the faintly visible traces of explosion damage, but also unmistakably show the grim reality of the shipyard being attacked by air raids.

As the only large shipyard in the Red Empire capable of building aircraft carrier-class combat ships, the Black Sea shipyard in the war naturally became the target of NATO's air strikes; In order to deal with this threat, the Territorial Defense Force has deployed tight anti-aircraft firepower around the plant, and the fighter regiments stationed in the nearby area are not without life, but under the continuous high-intensity strikes of NATO, it is probably impossible to ensure that the huge shipyard is unscathed and free from any losses.

"Comrade Major General, as you can see, the work of the shipyard is currently going smoothly."

To Long Yun's surprise, knowing that he appeared at the gate of the factory for no reason, the Black Sea Shipyard attached great importance to the number one trump card of the Red Air Force, and not only immediately let him go, but also specially sent a deputy director to accompany him on the tour. Such a high-standard treatment made Long Yun feel embarrassed, in fact, he was just out of curiosity, and wanted to see the mysterious appearance of the cradle of the Red Empire's aircraft carriers, and by the way, also to investigate the damage caused by NATO air raids.

So he politely declined the arrangement. And ask the factory to find an idle staff to accompany you.

And then. He was amazed. After waiting for a moment near the dock of the shipyard and seeing the old man for the first time, Long Yun thought he was a little dazzled.

Isn't that the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, Yuri Ivanovich Makarov, who is already sixty miles away!

Unconsciously looking at the comer, Long Yun clearly remembered that in the real world, the founder of the Soviet aircraft carrier, who was known for his efficiency, died of depression after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the shipyard fell into trouble. However, it is clear that in the parallel world where the Soviet Union still exists, the old people who are still alive are quite good; Although looking at his casual appearance and attire. I no longer work many hours a day like before, but I still make rounds in the shipyard from time to time.

After a simple greeting and following Makarov's footsteps, the two of them slowly paced and chatted on the dock, and Long Yun inadvertently looked up to see the tall bridge structure in the distance, which was blocked by the factory building and only exposed the top; Thinking that the Soviet Union in the parallel world has always existed and the construction of aircraft carriers is also continuing, he raised his hand excitedly:

"Uh, Comrade Director, the bridge structure over there is an aircraft carrier that has recently started construction?"

"Yes, yes."

For this young ace of the Red Air Force, Makarov treated all energetic young people like he treated. There seems to be a bit of approval and expectation in his eyes:

"Today I'm going to take a look at the Almaty. How about you, will you go too? ”

"Ahh That's good, of course. ”

I didn't expect such an opportunity. Long Yun naturally nodded again and again.

Riding in a jeep and walking around the shipyard, passing through a large area of factory buildings and piled up equipment and debris, he came to the vicinity of the huge zero slipway of the Black Sea Shipyard, and the first thing Long Yun saw was a section of slightly corroded giant steel structure on the wide open space on the side of the slipway; It wasn't until he and Makarov got out of the car and walked a few steps forward that they saw a large and unexpected panorama of slipway zero and the unfinished "Almaty" in it.

Not only that, but the first time he saw the dark gray giant ship in the dock, he keenly noticed that there were more than one scorched and cracked mark on the starboard side of the hull in the direction of the bow, that is, away from where they were standing.

What's going on, is it being hit?

With Long Yun's keen eyesight, even if the broken part of the black hull was still very far away from him, he could see it quite clearly; As far as the eye can see, there seem to be workers busy on the broken scaffolding, next to the rumbling of large cutting equipment.

"That's - Comrade Factory Director?" Did the Almaty' ever be hit by a bomb? ”

"Cruise missiles, to be exact."

Sensing that Long Yun's eyes were pointing, Makarov's tone was quite calm, and it seemed that the damage caused by the missile that attacked the "Almaty" was not severe.

While talking with the old factory director beside him, he walked towards the boarding ladder not far away, Long Yun looked around curiously along the way, he first looked up at the super large overhead crane across the slipway, and then began to notice the tall and slightly rusty giant steel components that he had just walked by. Each section of these seemingly heavy components is more than 20 meters long and dozens of meters wide; He was stunned for a moment before remembering that these should be one of the processes of the sectional shipbuilding method, the segmentation of giant ships built on land and airfield.

Such a huge structure, right next to dock zero - could it be the fifth aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union that has not yet been formed!

With a burst of excitement in his heart, Long Yun stepped on the winding stairs of the ship, and while following Makarov and the others upwards, he gradually relaxed his perspective to observe the surroundings.

In the huge dock zero, the "Almaty", which has completed the construction of the hull, looks so huge at this time, and with the thick and thick upper ship island, it is like a towering steel mountain. Walking down the stairs to the tower platform, and then crossing the overpass to the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, Long Yun only felt that his eyes suddenly opened up; I felt the gusts of sea breeze blowing in my face, and it seemed to be a little more violent than when it was flat.

Originally...... That's what it's like to stand on an aircraft carrier!

Didn't say it, it was amazing. (To be continued......)
