On April 27, 1842, in the border area of ​​the Camosen province in northeastern Fries and the Federal State of Clevo in the northwestern Federation, the joint military exercise site of the code-named "Peace Deterrence". Under the blue sky, flight ships painted with various aviation logos were woven into a huge attack array, with large ships in the horizontal and vertical directions in the middle. The destroyers suddenly stepped forward, and made way for the fleet like hat brims. The assault ships were located under the large ships, like assassins hidden in the array, and the escort light ships were separated on both sides, practicing the role of guardians.

The direction pointed by the spear, there were no enemy formations in the field of view, only a few black spots appeared in the distant sky. In this joint flight fleet, although the officers and soldiers were ready to go, judging from their expressions and postures, the atmosphere at this time was dull but not depressing, serious but not nervous. Behind the array of nearly a hundred flying ships, the low mechanical roar surged like waves. Looking around, a group of twelve aircraft formations and the war eagles of the six aircraft formations formed a distinct attack staircase, and everything was as calm and orderly as a military parade.

On the bridge observatory of the Federal Air Force Flight Fleet combat flagship "Free", the commander-in-chief of the exercise, General Blatt, commander of the Federal Fleet, and a group of staff officers stood and watched. They had been full of expectations for the flight ship to become the protagonists of the war again and made a lot of efforts. However, after the integration of the Federal Air Force, they had a serious discussion with their own fighter troops. Although they did not think that the fighter jets had natural restraint ability against the warships, they were also clearly aware that the superior performance fighter jets piloted by first-class pilots were extremely threatening to the flight ships on the battlefield - even if they did not have an advantage in their strength, they could win...

Since the end of the war, the great discovery of the "Spaceship Relics" and its derived space threat theory have led to the unity of civilizations on Orence planet to jointly fight against foreign threats. With the signing of the Orence Planet Military Alliance Agreement as a milestone, the concept of the agreement transition period and the agreement period was born. In this special era, the design thinking of the flight ships underwent a major change. The new generation of "Freedom" belongs to the product of "Agreement transition period" and retains the design characteristics of wartime - heavy armor and heavy firepower. At that time, rocket boosting was still laboratory technology. After all countries on Orence planet signed the joint defense agreement, the strategic positioning of the federal fleet and the imaginary enemy had changed. The "Freedom" was built.

The construction period was postponed for more than a year, and the design plan was greatly adjusted. In terms of firepower, the attack power of the upper hemisphere was enhanced and the firepower intensity of the lower hemisphere was correspondingly weakened. Because the threat came from outside the sky, at least in the early stage, the enemy was unlikely to have a large-scale story on the ground. In terms of armor, the original armor was improved and the focus was placed on survivability. In terms of maneuver, by using rocket boosting, the power of the tactical aircraft can be increased exponentially in a short period of time. In addition, due to the development of communication technology, this flagship has been equipped with a large number of communication equipment, including new password communication equipment. After the official completion, the "Freedom" was completely renewed and became the main battleship with the most modern elements.

During the agreement period, if the enemy comes from space, the technological level may be one to two levels higher, or even more. Conventional confrontational thinking loses its meaning, and needs to consider the strategic thinking of air guerrilla warfare and adopt more flexible ways of retreating with one strike. Therefore, there is no need to design and build the huge main warships of the past, but focus on building fast and maneuverable medium and light ships. Of course, in the face of technical generation differences, no clever thinking can make up for the gap in hard power. Therefore, all countries attach great importance to the research and development of flight carriers and combat aircraft. In extreme cases, aircraft have numerical advantages and are relatively easier to supplement.

The use of force deterrence is obviously contrary to the ideological orientation of great civilizational unity. Therefore, whether it is the military coup in Wessex or the new Wessex regime refusing to implement the Northern Treaty, other countries have taken cautious measures. In this context, neither the Federation nor the Norman Empire, nor other countries participating in this joint exercise have regarded the demonstration and punishment of Wessex as a propaganda. The people are only told that there will be a large-scale joint military exercise, and do not know its reality.

Goal. However, this is only for the people. In the eyes of those who are truly insightful and closely follow military and political current affairs, this is a very unwilling situation. Given the special purpose of this joint military operation, Admiral Blatter did not bring the air carrier formation, but instead put them on guard in depth. As the theme of the exercise, he was on the "Liberty" to command his own flying ships for tactical maneuvering and comprehensive supply training, and focused on cross-border ships in coordinated combat.

In the Norman Empire, the fleet commander was the famous General Boramir. During the war, he took charge of the Northern Fleet of the Norman Empire. He was the "key gentleman" of the Norman army to quickly defeat Wessex, and obtained the highest military medal of the Norman Empire. The number of Norman ships participating in the exercise was almost the same as that of the Federal Air Force. In terms of tonnage and firepower output, his strength was slightly better. This just reflects that the two major powers were in the north.

Attitude on the issue - the Norman Empire intervened first and invested heavily. It was the first to propose sanctions against Wessex, and it was also the initiator of this "peaceful deterrence". In comparison, the federal attitude was much more Buddhist. On the issue of the north, they had been in a wait-and-see attitude and did not devote themselves to the so-called space heritage under the ice. In subsequent mining and research, they also followed the rhythm of various countries.

The ships of various countries were assembled in the north, and the joint military exercises began. At this time, the Westsex fleet finally had movement. In terms of scale and strength, their fleet could barely compete with the Federal Army, which was inferior to the Normans, and faced with the entire joint exercise force, and was at a disadvantage to be crushed. Obviously, their role was to observe and alert. Once the joint exercise violated the Westsex sovereignty, they could protest and war with practical actions, but the possibility of causing a fire conflict or even causing a war is very small.

During the exercise, the border area was sunny, and the Vissexes always maintained a long-awaited and wait-and-see attitude. Before the military coup, they were part of this joint organization. After gradual adjustments in recent years, relatively good relationships have been established. At this time, the two sides are in a relative opposing position and their mood is indescribable.

The exercise was about to be completed, and the Vissexes still did not let go of key issues. The Normans were in a big furious situation and proposed to extend the exercise time and increase the confrontation between ships and aircraft, and hinted that they could send planes to cross the border, so that the Vissexes could feel real pressure. For this, the Federation and other countries did not actively support this. The Normans said that they could do it themselves, and the participating ships of other countries only needed to stay in the stand-alone to cheer...

The sight returned to the exercise site. The flight altitude of the joint flight fleet was about 5,000 feet, and the Norman bombers soared at an altitude of more than 20,000 feet. They hovered, adjusted, and looked for a suitable dive angle. As part of the exercise plan, the ships raised their muzzles one after another, and the crew skillfully operated various air defense weapons. The large-caliber naval guns began to roar, and all they fired were empty-packet bombs, which did not pose a threat to the Norman fighter jets that were about to dive.

On the bridge observatory of the Freedom, Admiral Blatt trembled and said to the officer beside him: "If the Normans play a huge conspiracy against us, this is their best chance to launch a raid."

"How is this possible?" the officer responded with an incredible look. He thought for a few seconds, then whispered: "If that's the case, it's indeed a terrible disaster for us."

After saying that, the two of them raised their heads at the same time, and teams of Norman fighters began to dive from high altitude. Compared with the experienced pilots of the Federal Air Force, the Normans are undoubtedly much clumsy. On the real battlefield, the other party will not give you so much time and make adjustments calmly. If you want to survive on the fierce battlefield and achieve results, you must judge the situation, take advantage of the situation, and overcome huge difficulties with courage and skills.

Seeing that the Norman fighters were flying faster and lower, Admiral Blatt suddenly closed his eyes and drew a prayer gesture on his chest. A few seconds later, a huge explosion came, followed by the panic shouts of people.

"Are they crazy?" General Blatt heard the officer beside him crying.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the explosion of fires rising.

"No, they are not crazy, how could the madman have the patience to create such a big game?"

According to the exercise settings, the Norman fighter jets dropped hollow exercise bombs that would not explode at this time. Apart from sprinkling white dust on the warships, it would not cause any damage. However, the violent explosion clearly came from the amazing bombs. The Norman pilot mercilessly smashed them on the "allies" who were moving forward at a speed. Of course, from the moment the attack began, both sides had returned to a state of hostility to the death.

Practical experience shows that in response to large aircraft bombings, flying ships should make full use of the depth of the airspace to maneuver quickly, and pay attention to the dispatch and cooperation of ship firepower during the maneuver. In the sudden attack in front of us, Norman fighters not only pointed the attack finger at the federal ships, but also dropped the bombs on ships of other countries. The Norman ships located on the left side of the air array also turned their guns and fired at friendly forces after a short period of silence.
