Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

The Red Empire has always been very restrained in its confrontation with the United States, because they know that if the gun goes off, it may be the destruction of the world. However, it does not matter to small countries. Once a small country encounters a threat, it may use the most violent means to fight back at any time. Anyway, It can't be stopped, of course it will be a fight to the death, but what if there is a way to survive?

 So, it is enough for the five gangsters to have nuclear bombs, so that they can check and balance each other. But if some small countries have nuclear bombs, they may really dare to use them.

The Parthians are one of them. When they find that someone dares to ignore their ban on exercises, they are not polite and open fire after giving a warning.

 The British and American formations were a little confused.

The missile was not flying towards them, they could watch the fun, but the Parthian people's determination surprised them, and they fired the missile at the slightest disagreement? Can this exercise turn into actual combat at any time?

Those dozen missile speedboats are nothing. They are sure to kill each other before the opponent rushes over, and they can also intercept the missiles launched by the opponent. The two Aegis warships are no joke. But what next?

They have entered Xi'an Bay, which is not very wide. Even if they hide in the western port, they are still within the range of the anti-ship missiles on the eastern shore. If they want to go out, they have to pass through that narrow strait. If they attack Get up, can they still get out?

They suddenly realized that they had entered too hastily, and the Parthian Kingdom was still as powerful as before!

 At the same time, there is still a question in their minds: Which country does the warship under attack belong to? Or is it just an ordinary cargo ship? After this incident, how should they use the topic to their advantage?

While they were confused, the anti-ship missile continued to fly forward, and the white smoke continued to extend forward, flying towards the ship being attacked.

The camera on the helicopter also focused its telephoto lens on the scene.

The target was indeed a warship, because the anti-ship missile launcher at the tail of the target could be clearly identified. However, those square launch boxes made them feel confused. This thing was obviously oriental style. ah!

The shape of this warship is also very special. It has four launchers at the tail and a single-barreled cannon in the front. However, it has no other weapons, not even a high mast, and there is no radar device on it.

 The hull of the ship is not large, and the visual displacement is not more than 500 tons.

What exactly is this nondescript warship?

“It seems to be a transport support ship modified by Parthia itself.” An intelligence officer said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the missile flew to the side of the transport support ship and hit it hard!

　　Boom!

The fireball exploded in the center of the ship. The warship could not withstand the attack of anti-ship missiles. The explosion that occurred directly from the middle broke it into two parts, the front and rear. It lasted less than a minute on the sea and sank.

Some sailors jumped into the sea before the warship sank. Judging from their clothes, it was even more certain: this warship belonged to the Parthian state!

 Three minutes later, the results of the intelligence analysis were placed on the bridge of the British and American combined fleet.

"Konarak? A transport support ship of Parthia?" Philip laughed: "It turns out they made a big mistake and sunk their own warship as our naval formation! Haha, it's so funny It’s been so many years since the world’s navies have made such a joke!”

At this time, Philip completely regarded this as a joke. The other sailors on the warship also felt the same way. In their eyes, this was definitely the funniest thing. However, some people did not find it funny. .

 Wilbur.

"Yes, they sank their own warship, but you should have heard the whole process. When they fired, they did not hesitate at all. As soon as the unlucky warship came within fifteen nautical miles of their formation, they fired Missiles, you think, if it were us at that time... would they dare to take action?"

"Of course I dare, they thought it was us." The first mate said, "Unfortunately, they made a mistake."

"I feel lucky that they made a mistake. If we thought they didn't dare to fire and entered a distance of fifteen nautical miles, we would also be attacked. They also have so many missile boats, and any one of them can be enough for us. It's enough." Paul said, "Thank God we didn't approach them in a big way."

 The captain actually said such a thing?

"Their Nur anti-ship missile is copied from Dongfang's C802, and it also increases the capacity of the fuel tank and increases the range. Think about it, can our warships be able to block it?" Paul said.

Everyone was silent.

This missile has a 165 kilogram semi-armor-piercing warhead, which can definitely tear apart the hull of the Burke-class ship, and at close range, there is still fuel left to enhance the burning effect. Needless to say, this kind of professional anti-ship missile can blow up even a speedboat filled with explosives.

“No, we have standard missiles. If they launch anti-ship missiles to deal with us, we can also use the Aegis system to deal with them!” said the first mate.

 He didn't know what the captain was worried about, but he felt that he was almost taken into a ditch. What are we afraid of anti-ship missiles? Isn’t our Aegis system designed to prevent saturation attacks by Da Mao’s anti-ship missiles?

“What if they also launch anti-ship ballistic missiles?” Paul asked.

This sentence immediately silenced everyone, and they felt sweat forming on their foreheads and backs.

If only anti-ship ballistic missiles are coming, they can shut down their radar and use full rudder to avoid them. If only anti-ship cruise missiles are coming, they can use the Aegis system to intercept them and not miss an incoming missile. But what if the two missiles come together?

  When the radar is turned on, it will be hit by anti-ship ballistic missiles; if the radar is turned off, it will be hit by anti-ship cruise missiles!

 This is the most terrifying situation.

Being a captain requires you to see further than ordinary people. Paul has already seen the opponent's real killer weapon. After using it in combination, their Aegis system cannot withstand it. Moreover, if it really comes to that point, their Aegis system will The lie of being able to intercept anti-ship ballistic missiles will also be exposed!

what to do?

 “Do they dare?” someone murmured.

“They even dared to sink their own warships, so what else could they dare to do? This time, they were really determined!” Paul said.

 Is it a joke to sink your own warship? No! From this incident, Paul saw the horror of the Parthian people! The other side has made up its mind that as long as one side crosses the other side's bottom line, the other side will fight this battle at all costs!

Others may not dare, but Parthia is not afraid. After all, this is not the first time they have been on the opposite side of the United States. They have had many conflicts with the United States. Regardless of winning or losing, Parthia has never been afraid.

This incident was caused by the bombing of the USS Cole, but it is still unknown who bombed the USS Cole. Even if the Americans swore that it was related to the Parthian state, they had no key evidence.

Now, they actually broke in during the Parthian naval exercise, and were beaten by the Parthian State, with no reason to reason. Do they really want to launch an attack on the Parthian State with great fanfare?

 They don’t have this ability. Their main force is still in the Imperial Cemetery.

If the Parthian Kingdom really intends to risk its national destiny to fight with the Americans, will the Americans be willing?

Paul has seen through all this, and now, as he explains, the faces of others present also become serious.

 “Left full rudder, leave their drill area!” Paul gave the order.

"What? Leave the opponent's exercise area?" On D97, Philips was extremely surprised after receiving the order.

"No, we can't do this! We have become a joke all the way here. Now that we have American warships, how can we still be afraid of them?" Philip couldn't believe his ears: "What do the Americans think?"

“I don’t know, Sir Paul’s order is for us to keep the steering wheel full. If we are unwilling to follow, we will be separated from them.”

separate?

Of course they cannot be separated. Now they are a weak force and rely entirely on the U.S. Navy's Aegis warships for defense. If they are left alone, they will never be able to intercept the attacks of a dozen missile speedboats with their sea darts!

 “Okay, let’s follow!”

Seeing that the American warship began to use the left rudder, although Philip was very dissatisfied, he had no other choice but to follow.

This confrontation seemed to be fierce, but it ended strangely. The American and British naval forces left without even getting close to the Parthian Navy's exercise area. This was surprising. At the same time, a piece of news began to spread.

 During this exercise, the Parthian navy launched missiles and sank an American warship!

 When he heard the news, Paul almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

 Damn it, what a joke! Will our naval warships be sunk by the Parthians? If this kind of thing really happened, then we shouldn't fight back with all our strength? We will sink all the warships of the Parthian Navy to let them know how powerful we are!

 That evening, the U.S. Navy issued a statement: All warships in our navy are intact and no accidents occurred. The warships sunk at the scene are not ours!

The live video was released, especially the image of the sunken warship also appeared in front of the TV. Looking at the simple warship, people had to believe that this thing was indeed not from the US Navy, it was too low!

 Some people also distinguished: This warship looks like one of the Parthian Navy's own warships?

 Zhang Zhong said the program.

This program has always talked about hot topics, so this time when the Cole was bombed, Zhang Zhong said that the program did not pursue this hot topic, which made many people curious. Now, Zhang Zhong said that the program is finally getting down to business!

"Hello everyone in front of the TV, our program this time is called Zhang Zhongshuo Confrontation in Maritime Exercises. We know that in the era of the Red Empire, every exercise of the Red Navy was indispensable with the participation of NATO, and they would approach Observe that they even engage in various confrontations with the Red Navy. The always bold Lao Maozi often uses collision methods to scare NATO. However, the Red Empire has gone far away, and we rarely see such confrontations. In Anxi In this confrontation in the Gulf, we originally thought there would be a thrilling scene, but we found nothing. The American and British maritime formations turned away when they were thirty nautical miles away from the Parthian naval exercise area. , what exactly happened? Let’s take a look at the U.S. Navy’s announcement.”

"There were rumors that a U.S. Navy warship was sunk, but the U.S. Navy later refuted it. They disclosed evidence to prove that it was not their warship that was sunk. So, what kind of warship was it? We asked Here comes Robert, a well-known international observer, and asks him to analyze it for us."

 Zhang Zhong said that this program is very influential, so it often invites some famous scholars. I don’t know whether they are famous. In short, in Zhang Zhong’s words, every guest is famous.

"Hello everyone, my name is Robert. I know the equipment of the navies of various countries very well. After analysis, we believe that this warship is not a U.S. Navy warship, but a Parthian warship. Come on, we based on the figure of a diving sailor at the scene Let’s make calculations.”

 Freeze the picture, and then start adding scale to it.

"The length of this warship is about 47 meters, the width is about 8 to 9 meters, and the displacement should be within 500 tons. Coupled with its configuration, we can confirm that this is a transport support ship."

“Transport support ship? This type of ship should be rare, right?”

“Yes, what we see most are destroyers and frigates, and even missile boats. Transport support ships are not part of the front-line combat force and are often seen in some second-rate navies.”

“Then can you tell us what kind of ship this is?”

"To put it simply, it is an armed transport ship. It usually undertakes transportation tasks. For some weak countries, they also hope that it can perform some combat tasks, so some weapons and equipment are added to it, such as machine guns. Similar, but very few are equipped with anti-ship missiles, after all, the missiles also require the cooperation of various fire control systems."

“So, how could the Parthian kingdom sink its own warship?”

"This is the most confusing part of the whole incident. Now we can be sure that the Parthian state is ready for battle. The missiles they launched are live ammunition with warheads. They should want to give the U.S. Navy a shot at a critical moment. Lessons learned, but for some reason, this unlucky transport support ship actually entered the training sea area and did not turn on the radio for communication, so this accidental attack occurred."

"In other words, this was an unexpected result due to the Parthian Navy's own mistakes? So, since they did it themselves, why did the United States leave the exercise area again? Even if they faced off against the Red Navy, they were not afraid Pass."

"Yes, this is what makes us most curious, but we can be sure that when this happened, it was not done intentionally by the Parthian people. It does not do them any good. After all, what was lost was a ship of genuine value. The support ship has a group of poor sailors on board. This huge loss will damage their reputation. They will become a joke for a long time." Robert said: "However, we will start from this time. It can also be seen from the incident that the Parthian people have made up their minds, they will not be afraid of war, and if the U.S. Navy dares to cross the border, they will dare to fight."

"Yes, they are old enemies, but do they have the capital to confront the United States?"

"certainly."

"We know that Parthia recently tested anti-ship ballistic missiles, but we also know that earlier, the United States tested the TMD system and successfully intercepted ballistic missiles. Therefore, the U.S. Navy is not afraid of Parthia's ballistic missiles. As for anti-ship cruise missiles, the U.S. Navy is even less afraid. The Aegis system is designed to resist saturation attacks by anti-ship cruise missiles."

"Yes, this time we saw that the United States shrank and did not dare to continue to call for battle. There are many things worthy of our attention, but here, we think the most reasonable explanation is that there is a problem with the Aegis system."

 “What’s the problem? This is the most powerful air defense combat system in the United States.”

"No one knows the specific situation, so we can only guess that when the Aegis system wants to intercept anti-ship ballistic missiles flying at high altitudes, it needs to aim all electromagnetic waves into space. If it wants to intercept cruise missiles, it has to aim at low altitudes. , then, is the Aegis system unable to take into account these two modes? If they are intercepting high-altitude ballistic missiles, and suddenly a large group of ordinary missiles fly in, will they be unable to take care of it? As long as one missile slips through the net, it will bring catastrophic consequences to them as a result of."

 “Didn’t they come with two Aegis battleships?”

"Yes, there are two ships coming, but the Aegis warship is not omnipotent. We speculate that when performing anti-missile missions, it can only intercept one missile at a time. And we know that over the years, the Meteor produced by Parthia has -3 missiles, the total number is more than fifty."

 In short, after talking for a long time, we came to a conclusion: Americans are afraid!

“Damn, they are talking nonsense, our Aegis system can intercept four missiles at the same time, if in four different directions!” Paul said angrily.

 The fleet has arrived at the port of Goudahu. They discussed countermeasures in the conference room at the port and listened to Zhang Zhongshuo's program. This program made them very dissatisfied.

Four in four directions, doesn’t that mean we can only intercept one? Philip thought secretly in his heart, of course, this can only be slandered and must not be spoken out.

"In other words, considering that we will be attacked by space and sea at the same time, we dare not get closer?" Philip said.

"What do you mean by not daring to get close? We just have to take these unexpected factors into consideration, and we have to protect our warship. After all, it was bought with taxpayers' money." Paul said.

"What now? They have completed the exercise. Shall we hold an exercise in the Bay of Rest? We also set the exercise sea area. If they dare to approach, we will fire! Our Harpoon missiles are not vegetarian either." Philip said.

 Drills?

  If there is an exercise next, won't there still be conflicts? It was easy to fool them this time. If they continue to fool around, will the whole world see through them? Are they afraid?

“Next, we need to wait for orders from our superiors.”

 Order from a superior? Isn't your superior's order to cooperate with us coming here to show off our force? Are you shrinking now? So what do we do? The whole world is watching our joke!

“I didn’t expect that the U.S. Navy, the world’s number one navy, would be scared!” The captain of the British Navy frigate who came with him could no longer bear it: “If you are scared, forget it, we will do it ourselves!”

 You do it yourself? Paul rolled his eyes at him: "Okay, then come on your own, and we will cheer you up!"

 Do you want to do it yourself? Let’s see what you can do. Without us, the U.S. Navy, wouldn’t you be wandering around the Arabian Sea all the time, or wouldn’t you dare to come over? Now you are brave enough to go on your own!

"George, don't ruin our friendship with the U.S. Navy." Philip quickly dissuaded him. It's useless for us to worry about this kind of thing. We have to send a telegram back quickly and let our superiors coordinate. Superiors versus superiors. We are at loggerheads here. It's no use.

 After all, they are not a leader.

 Because they were cowardly again, the British could not get off the stage, but in the East, someone was finally happy.

"Come on, Mr. Qin, I have to toast you!" Kasim held a drink in his hand and said to Qin Tao: "Thanks to the idea you gave us, we finally contained Satan's threat to us. "

“Well, Qasim, your men are not injured, are they?”

"Everything was prepared in advance. When the missile struck, there were only two people on the Konarak, and they were on the back of the warship when it was attacked. They were also ready to sacrifice themselves. We also prepared ten people on board. Several human body props. Those who were drowned looked miserable, but in fact they were all fake.”

"Really? That's really lucky, but we still lost a warship."

"This is also necessary." Qasim said: "Just an ordinary transport support ship is nothing to us. We have our own shipyard, and now we have built a large number of missile boats. We can replenish our losses at any time. Even if there is a real fight, our missile boats will definitely be able to destroy a large number of enemy warships. However, Mr. Qin, we think that missile boats alone are not enough."

“Not enough? In Xi’an Bay, missile boats are the best choice. If the displacement is large, they will only become the target of the enemy.”

"Yes, if it is in a war situation, it will definitely become a target, but in peacetime, if there are a few larger-displacement warships, we can also go out to suppress the situation." Qasim said.

The navy of any country has no choice but to develop air-to-submarine ships at the beginning. Later, when the country becomes stronger, it will develop warships with larger and larger displacements, even if they are not used on the real battlefield. It's also good to use it to scare people.

 The Parthians already wanted bigger warships to control the situation.

"I still think your warships don't need to be too big. If you feel that the current ones are not enough, how about building a few ships with a displacement of 1,500 tons? We can help with the design."
