651 The Fifth Fleet Under the Lightning Storm (Part 1)
The headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet is located in Bahrain. Due to the war, the official relationship between Bahrain and the U.S. Fifth Fleet has been on fire recently. The Bahrain royal family has made it clear that under such circumstances, it does not want the U.S. military to continue to stay in Bahrain, and the U.S. military
It insists that the base rental agreement signed with Bahrain has not yet expired, so it disagrees.
Depart from Bahrain. In fact, the US military does not dare to leave Bahrain. No country in the Gulf dares to take in Americans. Saudi Arabia even directly closed the seaport and cut off any supply and support to the US fleet. Bahrain has not thought about this.
, but Bahrain’s military strength is not as strong as Saudi Arabia, and it cannot complete such an arduous task.
Zelibor, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, looked at the not very good weather in the bay. He was worried and frowned deeply. At this time, a large-scale storm appeared abnormally in the Middle East, which did not rain very much. Dark clouds had already covered it low.
At low altitude, strong wind
It has begun to brew, making the US sailors preparing in Bahrain Port a little frightened. The power of nature is always more frightening than powerful enemies. Even if it is moored at the anchorage, strong winds may overturn the warship, and large waves may sink it.
boat.
"Are you guys ready? Except for the necessary personnel to stay on the ship, everyone should go to the shelter. This will be an impressive storm." Zelibor said to the staff beside him.
The staff officer replied: "Yes, we have made preparations in advance based on the judgment made by the meteorological department. Sufficient ballast has been prepared on the ship to resist the wind and waves. The wind and wave shelter facilities in Bahrain Port are also relatively good."
I believe we can survive this disaster."
Zelibol nodded, wondering what he was thinking, and sighed: "This storm has caused us more trouble. The Chinese aircraft carrier battle group has been wandering outside the Strait of Hormuz for a week.
"Fighters and missiles will be dispatched at any time to attack us, but we are trapped in the Persian Gulf and lack support. Even if we survive this storm, will the Chinese let us go?"
"Your Excellency Major General, maybe we don't need to be so pessimistic. As long as we can persist, the powerful fleets of the United States and its allies will definitely break through the Mozambique Strait and support us." The staff officer said more optimistic words, but judging from his serious and meticulous face
It can be seen from the above that his actual psychology is not so optimistic.
"I hope so." Zelibor said softly, so much so that a group of senior officers next to him didn't even hear what he said.
Judging from the lineup, the Fifth Fleet is definitely a super force that can give most navies a headache. The USS John Stennis aircraft carrier, two Ticonderoga-class cruisers, two Alexander Burke-class destroyers, and two
Spruance-class destroyers, three Perry-class frigates and two attack nuclear submarines. But this is such an aircraft carrier battle group fleet that can almost severely damage the navies of most countries in the world, but it is blocked by the Chinese aircraft carrier Sichuan.
There is nothing the battle group can do.
China's Indian Ocean Fleet has too many forces ambushing outside the Strait of Hormuz. They don't care how much they hide their forces. They just openly show it to the Americans. What the Americans know about is an aircraft carrier, a cruiser, and a destroyer.
It has a lineup of surface ships such as warships and frigates, and what makes the US military feel even more dangerous is that the Gwadar base is stationed in
China has a large number of AIP submarines and coastal defense submarines (Thunder submarines). There are at least a dozen Chinese submarines hidden underwater outside the Strait of Hormuz, and the Fifth Fleet currently lacks anti-submarine warfare capabilities. These dozen
Although this Chinese submarine may not be as domineering and powerful as the Type 096 attack nuclear submarine, its own combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.
The combat power of the two fleets is actually almost the same, but to be on the safe side, the US military does not dare to break through easily. In particular, China's Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group has a geographical advantage, and the US fleet itself is in a relatively weak position. Even before Mozambique
During the Battle of the Straits, Zelibor was unwilling to use the Fifth Fleet to contain the Chinese Navy because the chance of victory was really slim.
Zelibol also thought that even if the Fifth Fleet directly defeated the Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group and broke through the Strait of Hormuz, the road south to join the main force would be difficult and dangerous. China's Indian Ocean Fleet
The main fleet will catch them first without any surprise, and there is absolutely no way that the Fifth Fleet can single-handedly resist a large fleet composed of three aircraft carrier battle groups.
It was during this wasted waiting that the situation faced by the Fifth Fleet was getting worse and worse. As a result, Zelibol became more worried about gains and losses. He no longer had the heart to fulfill all the various orders from the U.S. Department of Defense.
It's all about how to preserve the strength of the Fifth Fleet and prevent it from being severely damaged or even destroyed by the Chinese.
Zelibor actually had a premonition that his fleet might not be able to escape the end of being wiped out, but he guessed the ending, but not the process.
In Dalinol, China, thousands of kilometers away from the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, Qi Yiming looked at the satellite cloud image on an electronic screen and seemed to be able to feel the powerful meteorological force exerting his will.
A line of text was displayed in the lower right corner of the electronic screen: "A lightning storm is forming and is expected to hit the designated target in 2 minutes."
Academician Zhao, who was also sitting in the office, was also staring at the screen. He was even writing calculations in the air with his fingers. He looked like a technical geek. He looked up at Qi Yiming and said, "I haven't done any experiments before.
, the risk is still a bit higher if lightning storms are used directly in actual combat. We can’t predict how much damage lightning storms can cause to the US Fifth Fleet. Perhaps we have some other better weapons to use against the US Fifth Fleet.
The fifth fleet is eliminated."
Qi Yiming smiled and said: "Are you referring to the measuring wave weapon you just successfully developed? Isn't this thing more difficult to control than a lightning storm?"
Academician Zhao is nearly ninety years old at this time, but I don’t know how he maintains himself, but he is still very energetic. Just recently he launched his latest scientific research result-scalar wave weapon. This terrible weapon of mass destruction
It can cause an earthquake of high intensity in an area, and at the same time, a strong EP burst can directly paralyze all electronic equipment in the area. However, this weapon is quite uncontrollable, and Academician Zhao himself regrets this.
"Haha, whether it is lightning storms or scalar wave weapons, they are all similar in nature. They use artificial means to trigger the power of nature to attack the enemy. However, because humans have arbitrarily interfered with natural factors, it is very possible that
Cause many associated negative effects. For example, earthquakes caused by scalar wave weapons may continuously cause aftershocks in the area, and even the earth's crust will undergo drastic changes.
The devastation caused by it is unimaginable, and the lightning storm also exerts centralized control over the local climate and weather. After the storm, it is likely that the weather in the entire region will be completely disordered during the year, causing crop failure and even continuous disaster precipitation.
Etc. I think it is already fatal enough for mankind to master nuclear weapons. If these two things are mixed in, everyone will not be far from destruction."
Qi Yiming nodded with deep understanding and said: "Yes, the harm of these super weapons is huge, and we need to be extra cautious. Of course, the most important thing is who is the person who masters these super weapons, and whether they can really
Those who are not good at using these things may be able to use these things to benefit mankind.”
The two continued to discuss the ethics and ethics of scientists and politicians until a new line of text appeared on the screen - the lightning storm was approaching and the last three seconds countdown began.
Qi Yiming rubbed his hands, stared at it without blinking, and said: "It's coming."
Academician Zhao was also pleased, "Let us see the power of lightning storms."
As Zelibor and his colleagues watched, thick cliff-like cumulonimbus clouds completely shrouded the sky above the port of Bahrain. Such a strange sky naturally aroused the fear of the US soldiers and Bahraini people.
I don't know what I will face soon.
When the first bolt of lightning struck from the sky, Zelibor didn't notice anything wrong. He thought it was just a very ordinary heavy rain, mixed with some thunder and lightning. It was built like a military facility with a very sound structure.
As lightning protection measures, lightning rods are installed on the tops of warships. However, these lightning protection measures to deal with ordinary lightning are completely useless when facing lightning storms.
More and more thunderstorms are being struck from the sky, and there are many types of thunderstorms. In addition to ordinary thunderstorms, there are also ball lightnings called "rolling thunders" by the people. The destructive power of these ball lightnings is more than
Lightning strikes from the sky are even more terrifying. Thunder strikes are basically like lightning rods, and
Mysterious lightning such as rolling thunder has very unstable characteristics and is also maneuverable. They can shuttle through the air at will, and can even enter through windows and holes, jump on wires or even hover in mid-air. They have inherent characteristics.
The intense high temperature can directly bake a large tree.
Among the real lightning storm super weapon attacks, the most terrifying ones are these rolling thunders. In normal thunderstorms, the frequency of rolling thunders is not particularly high, but in artificial lightning storms, ball lightning
It became the main force of destruction. Tens of thousands of ball lightnings destroyed various facilities and buildings on the ground like wild beasts. The high temperature destroyed the steel, and there were even spectacles of multiple lightning bolts attacking ships at the same time.
