#693 - Chapter 693: The satellite was destroyed by aliens again? Rage, helplessness and sadness!
Gaza issued a statement formally declaring war on Israel, with a deadline of five days.
The Huaxia aircraft carrier traveled from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, and then entered the Red Sea through the Indian Ocean, finally arriving in the Mediterranean Sea, with the timing also being exactly five days.
Meanwhile.
The North American aircraft carrier fleet departed from the East Coast and crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a shorter distance to the Mediterranean.
However, its speed was slower than Huaxia's, making it also five days.
However…
North America had already announced a freedom of navigation plan earlier.
Departing from Hawaii, the distance to Huaxia's territorial waters was relatively shorter.
Day four.
The aircraft carrier fleet arrived.
Six fleets directly approached the South China Sea and the East China Sea!
South China Sea.
One of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers was not only the flagship of a certain aircraft carrier fleet, but also the three aircraft carrier fleets rushing to the South China Sea were under the full command of this cruiser—the person in charge was the Deputy Commander of the Pacific Fleet.
“Report, Commander!”
The intelligence officer ran over, his expression complex: “The NRO has been online, claiming… that the Huaxia aircraft carrier fleet is 550 nautical miles away and hasn't moved!”
NRO.
North American National Reconnaissance Office.
Specially responsible for satellite management, including satellite intelligence gathering.
The North American aircraft carrier fleet had entered the South China Sea and had already penetrated several hundred kilometers.
Huaxia had only three aircraft carrier fleets in total.
One went to the Mediterranean.
The other two were in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, respectively.
Why hasn't it moved?
550 nautical miles.
Equivalent to about 1000 kilometers.
This distance was very awkward: In order for North America to get new fighter jets on the ship, not only were modifications made to the fighter jets, but a key factor was reducing the new fighter jets' fuel load to reduce takeoff weight.
The problem came!
The consequence of reducing the fuel load was that the combat radius was less than 700 kilometers.
In addition to the new fighter jets, the previous F-14s and F/A-18s had a combat radius of more than 700 kilometers.
Even with the range of air-to-air missiles, it wouldn't reach 1000 kilometers, right?
What was the purpose of freedom of navigation?
Deterrence!
Although the deterrence process may lead to escalating conflicts, North America's original intention was definitely not to start a war.
With Huaxia's current military strength…
Start a war?
Unless the people in the White House are crazy!
But!
Deterrence must be based on the premise that the weapon can reach it, otherwise what is there to deter with?
“With our three aircraft carrier fleets and Huaxia only having one, of course they don't dare to move out!”
The Deputy Commander looked smug: “The key is that their aircraft carriers have just been built and have no combat experience. There's no comparison with us!”
“Commander, what do we do next?”
Second, use fire control radar to illuminate and deter.
In short.
There are many means of deterrence, but the distance must be shortened.
… …
Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
Chen Hao had been staying here these days, assisting in building the Earth-Moon communication network.
“Principal Wang!”
Using the encrypted channel of the Beidou satellite, he contacted Wang Shenghong: “Armed satellites are dispatched!”
“Understood!”
Thousands of miles away.
Wenchang Satellite Launch Center Ground Station.
Led by Wang Shenghong, a team of hundreds of people was operating armed satellites.
Identify!
Approach!
Charge!
A faint blue electric light flickered.
Chirp…
A pulse invisible to the naked eye was emitted.
After a while, Wang Shenghong was dumbfounded: “General Chen… their satellites are fine!”
That's right!
After being attacked by high-frequency pulses, the North American satellites were still operating normally, and there was no circuit burnout.
You should know that this method used to be used to destroy thousands of military satellites from all countries except Huaxia!
“It's okay?”
Chen Hao was stunned.
He soon understood: “It seems… their shielding pulse technology has been used on the new satellites.”
More than a year ago, when the aircraft carrier fleet was stranded in the East China Sea, North America immediately developed shielding technology.
Later.
North American fighter jets were no longer afraid of high-frequency pulses.
After that satellite was destroyed, the satellites that North America launched later were likely to have used this technology as well.
“Ah?!”
Wang Shenghong was shocked: “Then… we can't take them down?!”
“Remote attacks can't take them down.”
Chen Hao narrowed his eyes, his eyes showing a cold light: “Isn't there still a robotic arm? Get close and destroy it!”
The remote attack of armed satellites is a high-frequency pulse.
Once the new North American satellites incorporate technology that shields pulses, the armed satellites will be useless?
Of course not!
What about close-quarters combat robotic arms?
Just the ability to fly at high speed is enough.
If not…
Just crash into it directly!
Will it also be destroyed in the crash?
Huaxia today not only possesses globally crushing technology, but also, because of its economic integration with countless countries, can mobilize more than 80% of the world's resources.
So what if it's one for one?
Does North America have enough resources and economy to trade?
What's more, there's no need to trade!
Synchronous orbit.
The armed satellite quickly approached, and the super-alloy robotic arm stretched out, like the giant claws of a giant crab.
Tear!
The North American satellite was torn apart, and a large number of electric sparks flashed wildly.
… …
South China Sea.
Ticonderoga-class cruiser control room.
Three aircraft carrier fleets were approaching Huaxia's aircraft carrier battle group.
Suddenly!
The intelligence officer ran over in a panic: “Commander, it's not good! NRO sent a message that our satellites… have all lost contact!”
“What?!”
The Deputy Commander was first shocked, then became furious: “Huaxia… it must be Huaxia who did it!”
“Huaxia just issued a statement saying that their satellites were… attacked by aliens.” The intelligence officer's voice was difficult.
“F*ck!”
The Deputy Commander jumped up and down: “Still want to use this kind of lousy excuse to deceive people? Are they treating us like fools!”
Last time.
Many countries around the world actually believed it.
At least they were half-convinced.
But now…
Only a fool would believe it!
But what can you do even if you know?
First of all, the world structure has completely changed.
It used to be a superpower and many strong countries, and North America was that superpower. Now that superpower… is Huaxia!
North America has no confidence to start a war at all.
Secondly.
Western countries have a common characteristic.
When you are weak, they can convict you and invade you with just a tube of laundry detergent.
Conversely, if you are strong enough, they will reason with you.
Okay!
You say Huaxia destroyed your satellite?
Where's the evidence?
Facing today's Huaxia, without evidence, North America's anger is useless.
Last point.
North America is promoting the Ouranos Project.
Full name: Outer Space System Combat Platform.
Once that thing is completed, it will be able to destroy Huaxia's satellites.
The problem is…
Isn't the research and development not completed yet?
Currently, North America does not have space warfare capabilities. Even if it knows that Huaxia did it, there is no way to do anything about it.
Don't mention not having evidence.
Having evidence is useless!
Huaxia's satellites are in orbit. Can North America shoot them down?
“Damn it! Damn it!”
The Deputy Commander was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Full-scale war?
Today's North America does not have that strength.
Even if the new fighter jets are on the ship, the high-level officials actually understand that they can only recover a small part of the situation.
After all, Huaxia's advantage over North America is not just in fighter jets.
After a long while.
“We still have radar!”
The Deputy Commander calmed down slightly and shouted through gritted teeth: “Continue to approach!”
Satellites can play an auxiliary role in war.
But it is not the only auxiliary means.
For example.
After losing the satellite, North America cannot monitor Huaxia's aircraft carrier battle group from outer space.
But the warships of the aircraft carrier fleet are equipped with high-power radar.
As long as they enter the radar detection range, North America can still lock onto Huaxia's ships.
A few hours later.
“Have you found the Huaxia fleet?” the Deputy Commander asked loudly.
“Not yet…”
Suddenly!
A strange sound appeared in the flagship command room.
