Back in 1978, I was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Chapter 422 The Russian Navy Leaves in a Shameful Shame
On the bridge of the Novorossiysk.

"Their skills are truly amazing!"

"Yes, that bomb-dropping demonstration was just them showing us that they can hit the target accurately no matter what the circumstances!"

"Yes, I originally thought we could only hit stationary targets, but now..."

Everyone looked disheveled.

“My teacher was right. Without electromagnetic power, we cannot win modern warfare,” Okegabri said. “We should go back.”

Fedorov fell silent, watching his Yak-38, a useless aircraft with a short range and poor performance, begin its return journey…

When did Eastern technology become so much stronger than ours?
"However, I'm even more curious about where these level 5 experts came from?"

"Report! Our reconnaissance satellites have captured images of Nanwei Island and transmitted them over!"

Give it to me right now!

The satellite photos were displayed before everyone, and as they looked at the island, their expressions were complex.

Arresting cables, flight decks—the other side transformed Nanwei Island into a floating aircraft carrier in a short period of time!

The reconnaissance satellites did not capture any images of the tethered balloons, so Fedorov searched for a long time but still could not find a large radar station on the island.

This adds even more mystery to the East!
In fact, just transforming the island into this state is already quite impressive!

"This shows that our Kuznetsov plan is sound and easy to implement. I wonder how the carrier-based aircraft are doing. Perhaps we'll have another chance to cooperate with the East in the future," Okgabri said. "Right now, the outside world doesn't know what we've encountered. When we get back, we need to report this experience in detail!"

The Russian aircraft carrier group arrived in a show of force, but now it's leaving in a sorry state!

On Nanwei Island, the radar screen shows the carrier strike group bypassing the island and heading north at full speed.

"We scared the Russians away!"

"Great!"

"Long live!"

There were Q-5 fighter jets with air combat loadouts on the parking spot, ready to take off and intercept at any time. But it turns out they weren't needed at all!
With a roar, the four Q-5 fighter jets returned to base, caught the arresting cables, and landed successfully on the first attempt.

As soon as they taxied back to their parking position and came to a complete stop, and as soon as they opened the canopy, Yang Guoqiang and the others were surrounded by cheering crowds. The crowd threw them into the air and then caught them.

At this moment, the entire island of Nanwei was filled with a sea of ​​jubilation.

The capital, Princess Tomb, Yellow Tower.

"I never thought the Russians would have a day like this!" Leader Zhang said with great excitement.

"Yes, soft attacks, combined with show bombs, are actually all advantages of electronic technology. I never expected that this would be more powerful than actual combat. We have witnessed the power of electronic warfare and information warfare! Northwestern Polytechnical University has once again done us a great service!"

Qin Liang smiled and said, "You flatter me, leaders. The main reason the Russians were forced to leave in such a sorry state was the outstanding performance of our Q-5 pilots. They were the ones who made the Russians realize the reason for their backwardness. Everyone who guarded Nanwei Island deserves credit! We at Northwestern Polytechnical University just did what we should have done. Now that the Russians are gone, we can take advantage of the situation to recapture the other islands and reefs!"

"Yes, that's right..."

"Report! The Russian diplomats have arrived!"

The Russians were very angry, and the consequences were severe; they came to protest!
The Russians have always believed in the principle of "actions speak louder than words." The reason they came to protest this time is simply because they couldn't win!

The Russian military attaché in the East, Kravchenko, entered angrily: "We protest! We strongly protest! Our heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Novorossiysk, accompanied by two escort warships, was subjected to barbaric treatment while passing through the southern waters. You must give us an explanation!"

"What? How is this possible?" Leader Ye looked completely innocent. "There must be some misunderstanding. Tell me what happened. Xiao Wang, quickly pour two cups of tea to calm our Soviet friends down."

"I won't drink it!" Kravchenko gritted his teeth. "Our formation was sailing normally when it was suddenly subjected to electromagnetic interference, and communications and radar were completely cut off!"

"What... what's going on? By the way, where are you sailing from?"

"It's the southern sea area!"

"Sigh, that's where you went wrong. We officially announced last night that we were going to conduct military exercises in that area! If you had waited a little longer and waited until our exercises were over, you would have been absolutely safe. According to international practice, you shouldn't have gone there at that time."

"Is this our fault?"

"It seems like it's your fault."

"Okay, even if your electromagnetic interference during the exercise was unintentional, then..."

He wanted to bring up the anti-ship missile issue, but their missiles were aimed at Nanwei Island, so they ignored him. As for saying that Nanwei Island was a monkey's island... saying that in front of the Easterners would completely ruin the relationship and he would be kicked out.

and so……

"Then how come your Q-5 carrier strike group flew over our Novorossiysk? That was an absolute mistake! Even when we confronted US carrier strike groups at sea, we never did that. It could have led to an accidental clash at any moment!"

"Oh, I don't know either. Please wait a moment, I'll have someone go and ask. Don't worry, if it's our fault, I will sincerely apologize to you. Xiao Wang, why don't you go and ask them right away!"

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Xiao Wang returned and whispered a few words in Leader Ye's ear.

"Gentlemen, we've found out. It's all a misunderstanding. You accidentally entered our exercise area, and you were only twenty kilometers away from our target ship! Our fighter jets have poor navigation capabilities and can only fly in a straight line..."

Leader Ye chuckled and said, "This isn't our fault, it's yours. You should have stayed away from our target ship. Luckily, our pilots didn't mistake your warship for a target. If they had dropped bombs, you would have been covered in dust. Fortunately, we were only using training rounds..."

Kravchenko's face was incredibly grim, while the others around him suppressed their laughter. Everything could be explained, and the Russians were definitely in the wrong; otherwise, it wouldn't have been a simple protest. "Luckily, nothing went wrong. If something had, our relationship with you would have deteriorated drastically, and all cooperative projects would have been terminated… You would have suffered significant losses! Your aircraft would have lost their radar antennas, your ground-based air defense systems would have lost their advanced electronic equipment, and our plans to develop ballistic missile interceptor technology would have been scrapped…"

Kravchenko fell silent.

Now, there has indeed been a lot of technological cooperation with the East, and the East's electronic technology is truly advanced! It perfectly makes up for the Russians' shortcomings, so... what were those people in Moscow thinking? They shouldn't have planned such an operation in the first place!

"This was all a misunderstanding. However, your electronic technology is far too outdated. So... if you want to upgrade, you can come to us for help. Mr. Kravchenko, please convey my good intentions to Moscow."

Kravchenko arrived in anger and left with mixed feelings.

Leader Ye's meaning was very clear.

We have no intention of antagonizing the Russians. This was a test of Soviet technology, and we were actually helping them! Moreover, it has been proven that the Russians are simply incapable of winning a high-tech, modern war. They need help from the East to improve their electronic technology!
Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russians never developed a frequency-hopping radio. They simply relied on increasing power to improve communication capabilities in complex electromagnetic environments, which proved to be completely useless!
An electromagnetic interference device on a tethered balloon can disable the communication capabilities of a Russian naval formation 100 kilometers away. As for radar interference, it is even easier. The outdated parabolic antenna has extremely large side lobes and is easily jammed!
The jamming wasn't the most shocking thing; what the Russians found most unacceptable was that the East could cut into their data links and control their missiles! This technology was absolutely groundbreaking in the 1980s!

After watching Kravchenko leave, Qin Liang came in again.

"Comrade Qin Liang, the Russians' electronics technology is backward, which is why we are suppressing them. What benefits would it bring us if we improved their electronics technology?" Leader Zhang asked.

"Of course it wouldn't benefit us. So, even if the Russians come begging to us, we have to take it slow. We need to build them a product in three to five years, one that they can't produce the key components for yet. Only after another three to five years should we consider exporting the production technology to them. By then..."

The Soviet Union collapsed at that time!
"By then, all of these technologies were outdated!" Leader Zhang added to Qin Liang's words.

Qin Liang smiled but didn't say anything; he couldn't be a prophet.

"Alright, let's continue discussing the recapture of the other islands; we need to press on with this in one go!"

Across the ocean, in America, at the White House.

"Have they started fighting yet?" Ronald asked, puffing on his cigar, his face full of anticipation.

"No."

"What? No? Could it be that the Easterners withdrew on their own initiative?"

"No, not at all. In fact, the Russians have already left that area at full speed."

"Then... what happened at the scene?" Ronald was stunned.

Kasper Weinberger also looked at William Casey with an incredulous expression.

"Nobody knows what happened there. We've had a lot of trouble with the Russians, so this time, our fleet didn't get too close, for fear of an accidental clash. We only detected electromagnetic interference; we don't know anything else."

William Casey looked at everyone present: "But we're sure the Russians suffered a loss. The Novorossiysk carrier strike group is such a powerful force. They went there to support the monkeys, but unexpectedly, they also suffered a loss at the hands of the Easterners. What's most interesting is that the Easterners only deployed Q-5s there! Not even a Super-7!"

In fact, this was the best choice that Dongfang decided after repeated research.

The Super-7 is the ace of the East, displaying its prowess in numerous naval battles. However, the Super-7 is, after all, a single-engine aircraft, and as its external stores increase, its thrust-to-weight ratio continues to decline.

After the Q-5 was fitted with a new engine, its thrust-to-weight ratio improved rapidly, making it even more powerful than its already excellent low- and medium-altitude performance.

Moreover, as an attack aircraft, its airframe structure has been reinforced. Whether it's diving to drop bombs or climbing to drop bombs, only it can do it. The Super 7 would have fallen apart long ago!

Showing off our strength, a level 5 powerhouse is enough!
Moreover, the Q5 will continue to demonstrate its formidable performance in the upcoming operations!

At this moment, everyone in the white house was shocked by the news.

"Forcing the Russians to leave with just electromagnetic interference? That's incredible!"

This is simply a miracle of naval warfare!

“I don’t know. There may be other operations we are unaware of. The CIA will go all out to try to find out the truth from the officers and soldiers in this formation,” William Casey said.

Regardless of the truth, it shocked and frustrated them. If the East and the Russians couldn't fight each other, they couldn't win over the East!
“I think we could send a congratulatory telegram to the East, congratulating them on defeating the Soviet carrier battle group,” Ronald said.

This is instigation. Sure enough, politicians have a different perspective than others!
Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Speaking of which, the monkey must be dumbfounded now, right?” Alexander-Hager suddenly spoke up.

Everyone was excited; the monkey getting its comeuppance was exactly what they wanted to see!
For the monkeys, the sky had fallen!

Jinghong Island.

As dawn broke in the eastern sky, Wen Jinyong stood on the beach, gazing in the direction of Nanwei Island.

"Today, today! The Easterners on Changsha Island will be completely driven out by the Soviet Union's navy!"

“That’s right, a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. There are hundreds of missiles on it. Once we get there, the Easterners will kneel down and surrender!” said Li Junying, the adjutant.

They gazed into the distance, but unfortunately, they couldn't see anything.

There was no explosion, no billowing smoke, and as the sun was already at noon, just as they were about to head back, someone with sharp eyes spotted something.

"There looks like a naval fleet in the distance!"

"That's right, it's the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet. They've already defeated the Easterners. What are we waiting for? Quickly, prepare several ships and head to Changsha Island to take over! This time, the Easterners have given us a makeover; it's practically a free gift!"

"Hurry up!"
