Chapter 607 Yuzuru Carrier Strike Group Reports (Long Chapter)

In Greek waters, a carrier strike group consisting of several warships passed by the edge of territorial waters. Unlike other fleets, this carrier strike group seemed to blend into the storm, as if it were in its element.

The formation is led by a 333-meter-long Ford-class aircraft carrier in the center, flanked by a 254-meter-long America-class amphibious assault ship. The combination of these two behemoths is awe-inspiring.

Scattered around it are two 160-meter-long Arleigh Burke-class Type III destroyers, one 155-meter-long Arleigh Burke-class Type II destroyer, and one Saar VI-class frigate.

There is also a Virginia-class Block V nuclear submarine on the seabed, America's newest nuclear-powered submarine.

Although the fleet consists of only seven warships, which is at most a patrol force, these are the newest and best warships of America and the oil-producing country, especially since their owner is Naoki Hanyu.

On the aircraft carrier deck, Yuzuru was seen resting with his eyes closed, using the Earth Pulse Sensor to collect various data about the storm.

For example, sea surface temperature affects the intensity of hurricanes; if the sea surface temperature is below 26 degrees Celsius, it will not be able to provide energy for Mediterranean hurricanes.

However, under the active adjustment of Naoki Hanyu's Earth System Coordinator skill, the sea surface temperature, which was originally below 26 degrees, actually rose by two degrees to 28 degrees.

The principle is that warm seawater releases latent heat through evaporation, providing energy for the convective activity of the cyclone.

Of course, for a hurricane to approach the level of a typhoon (with a central wind force of 11 to 12), it cannot rely solely on the supply of warm seawater; it also requires a baroclinic energy conversion mechanism.

The so-called baroclinic energy conversion mechanism relies on the energy conversion of the mid-latitude baroclinic field (where cold and warm air masses meet). When the upper-level cold vortex generated by the westerly trough moves to the warm sea surface, the strong contrast between cold and warm air will stimulate vertical convection and promote the increase of cyclone intensity.

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu's magnetic hand made slight adjustments, amplifying the hurricane that should have weakened.

To learn this skill, Naoki Hanyu has been cramming on climate knowledge these past two days, without even having any free time.

This ability is like that of a legendary climate god, and in ancient times, such a person would definitely be a deity worshipped by all people.

However, Naoki Hanyu, the instigator, was also suffering. He felt the electromagnetic power within his body gradually becoming chaotic, and eventually he coughed up blood and stopped using it. He was unable to use electromagnetic skills for a short period of time, and the storm gradually stopped increasing and even began to weaken again.

But it was all worth it. A storm was extremely important for naval warfare, or rather, for Naoki Hanyu.

Storms not only prevent radar and infrared detection methods, but even sonar is interfered with by the noise from the sea surface. Theoretically, sonar can only be used barely at a depth of 400 meters below the sea surface, and even then, it cannot detect the sea surface.

This rendered the submarines of America's dual-carrier strike group useless, like a blind man unable to find his target.

For Naoki Hanyu, storms are his home turf, because he has a title that is very suitable for naval battles in storms.

[Top Title: Sea Overlord: Reduces the Spirit cost of summoning a clone by half, increases the performance of ships piloted by you or your clone by 20%, and increases weapon speed and power by 10%.]

[Title Skill. Ocean Domain: Increases fleet resistance by 200% when encountering various ocean disasters, and reduces radar interference from disasters by 300%, lasting for 3 hours, with a 1-week cooldown.]

The passive ability increases the warship's capabilities by 20% and its weapons by 10%.

Not to mention the most important Ocean Domain. At this moment, Naoki Hanyu had just used Ocean Domain, and the fleet, which was originally severely affected, became very relaxed. It didn't even sway much, just like being in a tropical storm (8-9 level wind force).

This level of wind poses little threat to fighter jets. Indeed, fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier are protected by the ocean. To completely neutralize the attack capabilities of a carrier strike group, a typhoon-level storm (Category 12 to 13) is required, forcing the carrier strike group to either return to port or avoid the central winds.

Just as Naoki Hanyu was momentarily exhausted and half-kneeling, he was embraced by a cold, naked body—the evil spirit Elsa, dressed in a navy uniform.

"Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay, thank you."

"As the deputy commander, this is what I should do."

"It would be best if the voice was gentler."

"."

This soldier, with beautiful long blonde hair, has a mature and sexy body wrapped in a fitted military uniform. She usually has a cold and aloof demeanor towards everyone, including Naoki Hanyu.

So Naoki Hanyu reached out and pinched her cheek, which made Elsa "shyly" slap away the hand that was bothering her.

"Please don't disturb me during work hours."

Naoki Hanyu didn't care; there was no one else here anyway. As for the boatload of demons, sorry, they weren't human.

Naoki Hanyu embraced Elsa, placing his hands on her firm, round buttocks.

"What does it matter? You'll be by my side from now on, you're mine, Captain Elsa, so you need to get used to how I treat you."

"you"

If it weren't for the fact that evil spirits don't blush, Elsa's expression at this moment would be absolutely priceless.

As a persistent, ever-present evil spirit, Elsa had been following the man in front of her for several months, becoming familiar with his existence and understanding his personality. She didn't know what she would ultimately face if things continued to develop this way.

As for Naoki Hanyu, he doesn't care. A malevolent spirit that belongs to him is his person, and they will continue to be together in the future, perhaps for a lifetime.

So let the ghost be; it won't kill him.

One could even say that there was a hint of anticipation and excitement in my heart, wondering what the difference would be between evil spirits and humans.

He once suggested that Elsa change into a maid outfit or an evening gown, which would look much better, but she refused.

Taking advantage of the situation, Naoki Hanyu bit Elsa's earlobe, and the female soldier, who was an evil spirit, suddenly went limp in his arms.

"."

Who would have thought that evil spirits also have the weakness of being "agile and courageous"?

Elsa bit her lip, glaring angrily at the smug man.

"If you continue like this, I will resign from my position as deputy commander."

Seeing that the ghost was really getting anxious, Naoki Hanyu naturally gave in, saying that there was no rush and things could be done slowly.

"Yes, yes, my deputy commander, I'm entrusting the next naval battle to you."

"Humph."

Elsa turned her head away from the mere living person. As they spent more and more time together, their physical contact increased. He would even summon her out at night and hold her in his arms, chatting like a pet.

She didn't know how long she could hold on; perhaps she would soon lose her first time as an evil spirit?
When the two returned to the command center, everyone working there was from the Twilight Legion, with only a few being clones of Naoki Hanyu.

Unfortunately, although Naoki Hanyu considered himself to have decent experience piloting warships, there was still a significant difference between him and these elite naval personnel.

Of the 500 soldiers at dusk, 150 were left to operate the aircraft carrier, 100 to operate the amphibious assault ship, 55 to operate each of the three destroyers, 40 to operate the frigate, and 40 to operate the submarine.

Although the number of personnel is only one-quarter that of a warship, Naoki Hanyu can fully exert the power of an entire carrier strike group without the need for logistics and maintenance personnel.

As for Naoki Hanyu's clones, they are all pilots.

Elsa looked out the window at the aircraft carrier deck and saw dozens of clones playing a fighting game, laughing heartily.

"Hit him, hit him."

"You're just a loser. If you're going to attack his bottom lane, are you even Naoki Hanyu?"

"You talk big, why don't you come and fight me?"

"Just come."

"."

Elsa knew these were all clones of her master, but their personalities were so bizarre that, apart from their identical appearances, it was hard to believe they were clones of her master. Could it be that the man in front of her was also a clone deep down?
Naoki Hanyu noticed the gaze of one of his lieutenants.

"What happened to my face?"

"It's nothing, just overthinking."

Just then, the radar operator spoke up.

"The location of the enemy fleet has been detected."

The entire headquarters immediately went into combat mode, and even the clones who were still playing around returned to their posts without being notified.

The location was given by a radar operator who was a former American soldier.

"Snake 23, BRA 185-240, 22v, HOSTILE"

(Target code: Snake 23, bearing 185, distance 240 km, 22 targets, hostility confirmed).

Elsa stared intently at the map, determined not to show any mercy even if the enemy was her former colleague.

Although she was only the deputy commander, she was actually exercising the authority of a commander. Commanding an aircraft carrier strike group was her dream, but she had always faced setbacks because of her gender, and her dream had long been extinguished.

But she fulfilled her vow after her death, so she and her master's fleet must never be allowed to sink.

Naoki Hanyu sensed the emotional fluctuations of a certain evil spirit, so he took Elsa's hand.

"Commander Elsa, what should we do next?"

Elsa paused for a moment, feeling the warmth of a stranger, before offering her suggestion, while her talent as the commander of the Twilight Legion was also activated.

[Twilight Legion Commander: Elsa]

[Quality: SSR]

[Physical Status: 120]

[Talents: Artillery Expert, Naval Warfare Master, Iron-Blooded Navy, Resentment Interference]

[Artillery Expert: Under her command, the anti-aircraft gun reaction speed of warships is increased by 1%, the power of all cannons is increased by 0.5%, and the firing rate is increased by 0.5%.]

[Naval Master: Commands a fleet that can operate at 150% of its full potential.]

[Iron-Blooded Navy: The navy under her leadership has increased efficiency by 50%. Only strict military discipline can forge a powerful army.]

[Ghostly Shield: A warship shrouded in the resentment of ghosts, enhancing its ability to interfere with detection methods such as sonar, radar, and infrared.]

[Comment: This is a natural-born fleet commander. Please don't treat such a rare talent like a common soldier.] Naoki Hanyu waved his hand and issued the order.

"Don't think that we can launch a surprise attack just because the storm is there to cover us. This is the Mediterranean, a territory that has broken its promises. Various military radars and other means are spread throughout the Mediterranean, so everyone should be prepared for a tough battle."

The legionary soldiers looked at each other, and finally let out a series of shouts.

"Carrier-based aircraft activated, target America Air Base, Cyprus, as per original plan."

The clones sat in the pilot's seat and started up one aircraft after another, including F-35s, Super Hornets, and electronic warfare aircraft.

“GOGOGOGO”

"As the first fighter jet to take off," the Justice Doppelganger said in a deep voice.

"Justice, take off."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the other clones voiced their opposition through the communicator.

"I am the true justice ship."

"You are number two."

"I'm number one."

Others joined in the commotion.

"I am the Freedom Gundam."

"Your brother-in-law, you're piloting a fighter jet, not a Gundam."

"I can call it Gundam, I can call it my wife, it's none of your business."

"How arrogant! Watch out, or I'll shoot you in the back."

"Come on, don't leave after school if you dare."

"."

Inside the command room, Naoki Hanyu touched his nose speechlessly, while Elsa asked quietly.

"Master, are these really your clones?"

Not
Although Naoki Hanyu wanted to deny it, it was the truth. Why was it that none of his clones resembled him?

Despite their bickering, the clones still proceeded according to plan.

An aircraft carrier and a quasi-aircraft carrier, two of the world's most powerful naval weapons, are unleashing their deadly weapons.

First, two E-2D carrier-based early warning aircraft took off, heading in two directions, one towards Cyprus and the other towards the oil-producing countries.

Cyprus is right next to the oil-producing country, only about 200 kilometers away. No matter which direction you attack the oil-producing country, you can't avoid it. Obviously, if you don't take Cyprus, you could be attacked by its air defense system at any time.

As for your claim that America in Cyprus and Little Britain were innocent, I'm sorry, war is not a matter of innocence.

Next came F-35 fighter jets and Super Hornet fighter jets. The speed of electronic catapults is much faster than that of ordinary aircraft carriers. Ordinary aircraft carriers need several minutes to prepare for ski-jump takeoff, and only one aircraft can be launched at a time.

Steam catapults are much faster. With four catapults working simultaneously, four fighter jets can be launched within 40 seconds, theoretically eight per minute, but in practice it takes about 1 minute and 20 seconds.

Electronic catapults also operate with four catapults simultaneously, and are faster than steam catapults, taking about 30 seconds. A fighter jet can go from catapult launch to takeoff in just about 3 seconds.

However, the most time-consuming part is not the ejection time, but getting the fighter jet to the ejection position, which requires the skills of the aircrew and pilots.

Meanwhile, the amphibious assault ship on the other side was also launching helicopters, a total of 30 Osprey armed helicopters. Their mission was not to attack enemy ships, but to cooperate with submarines to destroy America's five submarines. It is believed that the enemy did not expect that there would be Ospreys specifically hunting them during the stormy weather.

The intelligent clone, acting as temporary commander, spoke calmly.

"I'm declaring this upfront: anyone who drags us down will have to commit seppuku in front of everyone."

"Hmph, so be it, commit seppuku. Do you think I can't afford it?"

"Yes, I can also dig out the large intestine and heart."

"Stop babbling. If you fail to command, we'll tear you apart."

"."

The intelligent clone cursed under its breath.

"A bunch of brutes."

Inside the headquarters, Naoki Hanyu looked at the fierce winds outside and asked...

"Elsa, when do you think the enemy will discover us?"

Elsa is using headphones to listen to the enemy ship's movements.

Indeed, as former high-ranking officers in the American Navy, and now using warships identical to those of the American Navy, these former US military personnel have the means to monitor the other side's public channels and radar and sonar activity.

“Logically, we should have been within Cyprus’s radar range (500 kilometers) long ago, and they would have detected us at any time.”

"Ah."

The fleet continued forward through the storm, needing to get closer to the enemy, as their radar and sonar were also affected, though not as severely as the enemy's.

Just then, Elsa's pupils contracted slightly, because she heard movement from America's side, which meant they had probably discovered their location. The two sides were now more than 300 kilometers apart, which was a bit too early.

"The enemy has discovered this and is immediately launching a plan to destroy Cyprus."

"First strike launch."

Naoki Hanyu didn't mind having his lines stolen, since the other person had a better grasp of the war than he did.

Amid the storm, the three destroyers slowed down, and then each of their three launch cells opened, revealing nine Dual I variant Standard Missile-6 missiles ready for launch.

Standard Missile 6 is generally used for air defense, but this variant is touted as a three-in-one missile, capable of anti-ship, air defense, and ground attack. It was obtained by Naoki Hanyu from two Type 3 destroyers, as the old Type 2 destroyers were not worthy of being equipped with these latest missiles.

As the missile ignited and lifted off, it emitted a series of shouts.

"My death is heavier than Mount Tai."

"I hate you, my true self."

"I want to die in battle, I don't want this kind of death, ah!"

Clearly, to enhance their stealth capabilities, all nine missiles are equipped with humanoid stealth devices, essentially clones of Naoki Hanyu.

Meanwhile, the two air force bases in Cyprus were dumbfounded. When they detected a carrier strike group 200 kilometers away, they could hardly believe it; they had never heard of any other aircraft carriers coming.

Whose carrier strike group is it, Little Britain's? Or France's?

Please, America wouldn't even look at their little gadgets; they only amount to 4 to 5 tons.

This carrier strike group has two targets: a massive 110,000-ton behemoth and a near-massive 45,000-ton vessel.

If I'm not mistaken, America's newest aircraft carrier has a displacement of 100,000 tons, while the 45,000-ton carriers are either small aircraft carriers or amphibious assault ships.

Roger, the new American commander of Cyprus, looked extremely grim.

(The former commander was killed in a bombing during Naoki Hanyu's last visit; it's a truly tragic story.)
“I suspect it’s the Ford-2. Only America has a 10-ton aircraft carrier. And do you remember the aircraft carrier that was stolen by the Revitalization Society? And what did the Revitalization Society say recently? They demanded that we stop helping oil-producing countries. Obviously, they weren’t lying.”

The staff officer immediately looked fearful.

"Are those people crazy? They actually started a war with our military."

"Didn't we already know they were crazy? The previous president died at their hands."

"."

Roger gave the order.

"Activate all air defense systems. Notify Warhammer that the Revival Society's carrier strike group is approaching. The Cyprus base will do everything in its power to attack the enemy from both sides."

The America carrier strike group must use a dynamic code name within 72 hours of entering the combat zone. The ship's name is only used for communication in the rear safe sea area, and the code name at this time is War Hammer.

There was no other way. During the Gulf War, a frigate was locked onto by Iraqi fighter jets and hit by Exocet missiles, resulting in the deaths of 37 people. This was a lesson learned in blood.

Just as the entire base was preparing to enter a state of war, nine missiles fell from the sky like meteors, undetected by radar. As for infrared detection, it was severely affected by the storm, and the missiles were only detected within a 10-kilometer range.

It is clear that 10 kilometers is a difficult distance to intercept, and the nine missiles successfully hit the base's various air defense systems with great accuracy.

This stunned the garrison, and Roger even cried out in disbelief.

"How is this possible? How did the enemy lock on perfectly in the storm? My air defense system, my air defense system, no, no, there's still a launcher, there's still a little bit of resistance left. Quickly connect to the base radar, hurry up."

As the mushroom cloud of flames shot into the sky, a giant eagle, 2.5 meters long and with a wingspan of 6 meters, flew over the base, its eyes taking in the explosions happening everywhere.

The giant eagle then swooped down and attacked the remaining missile vehicle at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

The sharp claws tore through the connecting wires and left several knife-like cracks on the metal launcher.

"唳"

A sharp eagle cry rang out, and before the American soldiers could react, the eagle spread its wings and flew away. Even though the soldiers hurriedly fired their guns, they only managed to leave a small scratch on the eagle.

Only the dive that had just torn through the metal caused the eagle's talons to bleed.

However, it was all worth it. The Cyprus base is now a helpless prey, and their fighter jets, which are preparing to take off against the storm, have already been targeted by a group of hunters.

Forty-seven F-35 fighter jets weaved through the storm clouds, and soon the outline of the base and the prey that had barely taken off could be seen.
