Chapter 1,124 Hegemony!

At 12 noon on August 1, the aircraft carrier battle group stationed at the Guam military base set off. ;乐;文;Novel www.lw＋The Star-Spangled Banner was flapping in the sea breeze, and the heroic Marines stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier holding rifles, looking majestically toward the southwest.

There was the direction of the city of Koro, the capital of the new country.

The new country has become a stone standing in the way of American hegemony.

At least in front of these American soldiers, the tiny Xinguo was no different than a pebble. As long as the White House gives an order, they will not hesitate to board a Zodiac and re-enact a "Desert Storm" on the beach of Koro Island.

As the right arm of the United States, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the U.S. Navy ships form a sailing formation in the waters west of Guam. The fleet includes the U.S. Navy's next-generation aircraft carrier "Ford" and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's Ise helicopter. aircraft carrier.

In addition, there are the navies of Australia, South Korea and Singapore.

Except for the Philippines, which had already defected to Star Ring Trade, all the five Asian brothers responded to this military exercise. Regardless of whether they are willing or not, the navies of the four countries have given enough face to this big brother across the Pacific Ocean and brought the most elite naval forces to the Western Pacific.

For a time, the entire Western Pacific was turbulent.

Anyone could see that a long-simmering storm was about to break out.

About forty modern warships set up a mighty battle formation on the sea and began the first round of maritime target practice of the 2019 Asia-Pacific Military Exercise.

Dozens of target ships were pulled to the sea. As the flagship gave an order, the orange-yellow bullet rain instantly covered the target sea area. In an instant, it engulfed the "imaginary enemy" fleet and tore it into pieces with a devastating force. fragments.

At the same time, dozens of Tomahawk missiles dragged their tail flames, lifted off from the missile frigate, and accurately hit the target more than 300 nautical miles away.

F-35 and F-22 carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carrier deck one after another, and milky white smoke columns formed a net in the sky. More than a dozen squadrons were mobilized to conduct mid-range air combat, anti-ship combat and other subjects in the air.

The clamor of gunpowder raged in the Western Pacific, stirring up rolling waves in the originally calm sea.

The faces of the representatives from various countries standing in the audience showed expressions of fear and uncertainty, and the expressions on their faces showed a trace of wavering.

obviously,

The power displayed by the U.S. Navy has exceeded their expectations. Although they have received a lot of benefits from Star Ring Trade, and although Star Ring Trade's global power grid plan has put their country's economy on a rocket... However, in the face of power, everything is in vain.

If there is not enough strength to protect it, wealth will become a sin.

Iraq and Afghanistan are living examples.

Representatives from various countries in the audience have begun to wonder whether they should reconsider their diplomatic relations with the new country. And the Earth Defense Alliance, is it wise to rush into it?

Especially the representative of Ecuador, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his face.

The signal released by Star Ring Trade to build a second space elevator went to the head of the Ecuadorian government, so that they, despite the pressure from neighboring countries and the United States, embraced Star Ring Trade with great enthusiasm. Thigh, it’s a green light for the trans-Pacific undersea power cable.

Now it seems that this is a dangerous and wrong decision...

While representatives from various countries were having their own concerns, the officers of the combined fleet standing in the flagship were in high spirits.

In the entire aircraft carrier battle group, the aircraft carrier serves as the fist of the entire battle formation and cannot free up valuable space to load C4ISR equipment, so the flagship is generally served by a guided missile frigate. As for the commander of the fleet, if nothing unexpected happens, he is usually the person with the highest military rank.

Hogg, who served as the fleet commander, handed over the command of the aircraft carrier to the deputy captain. At this moment, he was standing on the guided missile frigate, looking at the wreckage in the distance, with feelings of great power in his heart.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming rain of bullets that awakened his confidence, perhaps it was the frightened expressions on the faces of representatives from various countries, or perhaps he remembered the "political mission" that the White House had assigned him before this military exercise. He looked to the side. The adjutant ordered with a haughty expression.

"Applying for transit to the new country, the exercise enters the second stage."

The two orders were issued at the same time.

In other words, regardless of whether the new country agrees or not, the United States combined fleet will sail through the waters of the new country.

Hogg was curious to see how the new Congress would react.

He didn't think that Jiang Chen would give in so easily, but he also didn't think that Jiang Chen would do anything extraordinary at this time.

After all, this is the five-nation joint fleet, with more than 40 modern combat ships! All resistance that exceeds one's capabilities is tantamount to trying to control the chariot with one's arm!

As for Star Ring Trading's glorious record of annihilating more than a hundred Philippine ships with its two Guardian-class ships, Hogg didn't take it seriously at all. No one knows the situation of the Philippine Navy better than him. The retired coast guard boats of the Japanese guys can be held in the palms of the monkeys as capital ships. The fishing boats have been modified and even pulled directly to the sea to make up for the numbers. This No matter how many fleets of the same level are annihilated, it is still nothing.

However, the adjutant's return was beyond his expectation.

"The new country rejects our request and declares its northern territorial waters as a military restricted area."

He was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, a surge of anger suddenly surged into Hogg's heart, so much so that veins bulged in his clenched fists.

Such a military restricted area, do you really think that the United States has no one?

Where does the U.S. Navy want to go? Whether it’s the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea or the South China Sea, it’s always a sideways journey! How can the navy of a big country that spans five oceans and seven seas allow a small country to destroy its majesty?

His anger was quickly suppressed by him, and Hogg ordered with a stern expression on his face.

"Send my order to adjust the course ten degrees to the south and continue the exercise!"

"Yes, sir."

The adjutant took the order and left.

Military restricted area?

snort! I want to see who dares to stop the American fleet from exercising its "freedom of navigation"!

The combined fleet began to change course and headed towards the territorial waters of the new country. The so-called transit application is just a formality. It cannot even be called an application. It can only be called a notification. Regardless of whether the new country accepts it or not, where should the combined fleet go?

The expressions on the faces of representatives from various countries gradually became more exciting.

The previous target practice on the high seas could only be regarded as the US fleet asserting its power. Whether the cannonballs landed on a pile of scrap metal or hit the heart of the new country still depends on the actions of the Star Ring Traders. What reaction.

As for the reaction of Star Ring Trade, this is their focus.

Although they did not expect that the frigates of Star Ring Trade would come out and stand in front of the combined fleet, but if Star Ring Trade did nothing and just let the combined fleet drive past their homes in a majestic way, Then their relationship with Xin Guo was almost over.

A country is not a company, and economic and trade cooperation is the basis of diplomatic cooperation. However, when considering a country's diplomatic strategy, it is not just economic benefits.

Not only the representatives of various countries standing on the US warship, China and Russia are also paying attention to the Western Pacific, waiting for the new country's reaction.

Further on is the abyss.

Taking a step back is hell.

The situation in the Pacific is unprecedentedly severe, and the choices faced by the new country are also unprecedentedly difficult.

This step determines the ownership of hegemony and also determines the national destiny of the new country.

The whole world is waiting for Jiang Chen's reaction. (To be continued.)
