Chapter 1102 Shit command
"What exactly did the White House think? This is simply to commit suicide in our army!" Mark couldn't believe it with the order he just sent, and at the same time, it further confirmed that between the interests of the United States and the Jewish interests, the US government has gradually tilted towards the interests of the Jewish interests!
The Jews who were on the fighter planes had left the United States and passed through Europe. Now, they had flew to the air base in Sicily.
Thinking of Sicily, they are refueling and preparing to continue flying, return to Israel, and participate in this battle to defend Israel!
If it were just this, then Mark could still accept it. After all, this kind of thing had been done in the First Middle East War. At that time, Israel was about to destroy its country, and the joining of these Jewish pilots saved the situation.
But now, the White House’s order is to help the aircraft carrier formation!
Unlike before, when the Soviet naval formation sailed in the Mediterranean, the airspace in the western part of Israel was blocked!
In this case, if these fighter jets fly directly from Sicily, they will definitely be intercepted by the Soviet Navy air force. These Jewish pilots who have been flying for more than ten hours may not have a chance of winning even if they are encouraging the courage to fight.
In order to allow these aircraft to fly back to Israel, the White House's order was to let its aircraft carrier formation take off all the fighters and act as if it was to attack. In this way, the Soviet aircraft carrier formation would also eject all their fighters! After an hour, their fighters would return due to lack of fuel and lack the ability to dispatch again!
At the same time, the Jewish planes will circle around and travel through Greek and Turkey's airspace and return to Israel!
This is simply nonsense! Now, the Soviets are aggressive, and they are just monitoring here, so the Soviets want to launch an attack on their side! And now, if they take off a large number of fighter jets and take offensive posture, the Soviet Navy will definitely launch anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers!
The USS. was sunk by the Sunburn missile with a range of more than 100 kilometers. Now the big guys of the Soviet Navy are more than ten times more powerful than Sunburn missiles!
What about Congress? Will Congress agree to these guys doing things randomly? Mark couldn't help but think in his heart.
The US military is the last hope of the United States. If the army is consumed, the US will be even more chaotic! How can it be possible to maintain the security of the United States with the National Guard?
Mark hesitated.
Ackerman, who was standing by, was waiting. There was a new order in his hand. If Mark did not implement the White House order, then Mark would be dismissed according to the laws of the US military! Then Ackerman naturally commanded the warship! Command the entire aircraft carrier formation!
Looking at the magnificent sea outside, Mark felt bored for the first time in his life.
"Since it is the White House order, as a soldier, I will obey the order." Mark said: "Order the formation to prepare a large number of catapulted carrier-based aircraft, pay attention to air defense mounts!"
"Captain Mark, the White House's order is to act like an offensive look." Ackerman said: "I suggest that it is better to mount the ship's attack."
On the aircraft carrier, the captain and the flight wing commander were of the same rank, and their powers did not cross. The captain was responsible for commanding the entire fleet, while the wing commander was responsible for commanding the fighter jets.
If we look at this point of view, what the aircraft is mounted should be determined by the wing commander. However, Ackerman's qualifications are too shallow now, and Colonel Mark is an old carrier-based aircraft pilot with rich qualifications. Moreover, at this time, his commands are more important.
"Advance to ships?" Mark looked at Ackerman with his eyes and said word by word: "Our air-to-ship anti-ship missiles have only harpoons, with a range of 120 kilometers. The Liv-M air-defense missiles on the Soviet air defense ships have a range of 150 kilometers! We have mounted anti-ship missiles. Is it possible to attack? Don't think about it at a super low altitude! The Soviet Jacques-44 early warning aircraft has a higher detection accuracy than our E-2! Attacking ships is just seeking death!"
"And we must be prepared for the Soviets to launch a large number of missiles to our warships at any time! Air loading is not to intercept Soviet fighter jets. Their more important mission is to intercept anti-ship missiles that may be fired!" Mark said: "I don't know that this is a bullshit order issued by the guy in the White House who was kicked by a donkey. In short, now, my mission is to protect our entire aircraft carrier formation first!"
Ackerman sneered, trying to ridicule, how could he be so timid as the commander of the powerful aircraft carrier fleet? However, when he saw everyone else throwing suspicious eyes at him, Ackerman could only swallow his words back.
Few Jews joined the army. If they wanted to control the army, they still had to get the support of other people. Now, as long as they were launched, the Soviets were always aggressive. As long as they were provoked, the other party would definitely attack on their own initiative!
Then, war will break out!
And with the issuance of the order, the huge war machine began to operate!
On the Eisenhower aircraft carrier, fighter jets were lifted from the hangar, and the warships sailed at full speed, sailing against the wind, preparing to eject carrier-based aircraft.
The huge Tomcat fighter jet, covered with heavy missiles, rose up in the white smoke of the catapult!
More than a dozen Tomcats were ejected at full power, and the speed of the aircraft carrier began to decline. Then, the medium-sized F-18 fighter was pulled to the runway. Compared to the Tomcats, it only needs medium power to eject the catapult to take off!
Because the Tomcat fighter jet is too expensive and the operating and maintenance costs are very high, the wealthy US Navy needs a fighter jet with low maintenance costs. After the competition between Northrop and General Motors F-16 fighter jets failed, it was selected by the Navy. After continuous development, it became an excellent naval fighter jet.
It has a versatile role, which can both fight air and attack, and has low maintenance costs. At the moment when US military spending is reduced, the US Navy has been retiring the F-14, while also replacing the increase in F-18s.
Mark stood on the bridge and watched the planes soar into the air. He felt nervous. The US Navy is no longer the navy in history. His own strength is weakening, while the Soviet Union's strength is increasing!
The technical gap cannot be made up with quantity!
Suddenly, Mark's eyes widened. The carrier-based aircraft that had just ejected and took off, the hanger on the inner wing was carrying a big guy, and that was definitely not an air-to-air missile!
Harpoon anti-ship missile!
Chapter completed!
