Rebirth of the Qing Empire

Before the implementation of the "Dragon Strike" operation, the Chinese Ministry of Defense had clearly warned the UK that the British side's hostilities blocking the Suez Canal, an international maritime channel, directly harmed China's interests. Therefore, China is considering taking corresponding measures against the British side's action

, it is not ruled out the possibility of taking military action, nor is it ruled out the possibility of taking the same countermeasures against other countries that take the same position as the British side. This statement is actually equivalent to declaring war on the multinational alliance. But the British government ignored it,

Other member states in the multinational alliance did not give enough vigilance to China's warning. How could these arrogance and arrogance have been robbed and enslaved all over the world and have been used to oppression and enslavement of Europeans who thought that China would take the initiative to them.

Take action?

Since the "Cold War" between the multinational alliance and China, all signs have shown that China is taking a defensive position, and the multinational alliance also understands that China is indeed strong today, so it is indeed preparing for the war. But no matter what, the Chinese Defense Forces launched the

This long-range sneak attack operation is too incredible! Until now, many leaders in the multinational alliance have not yet struggled from the "suffocating huge shock" brought to them by the "Dragon Strike" operation - this is Zhu

Di's American friends revealed it.

"I hope this 'suffocating shock' can make these Europeans sober. Only after they wake up will they do things rationally..." Kang Fan paused when he said this, blinking at Judy mischievously

In the blink of an eye, "Don't be enemies of China!"

Judy looked at her cold eyes and asked in a stiff tone: "Are you warning those Europeans or Americans?"

Kang Fan immediately smiled flatteringly, "Okay Judy, don't get me wrong, I'm just warning those Europeans."

Judy snorted and went to do her own thing.

At the end of February, a total of 6 large land-based long-range alert aircraft of the National Defense Army Aircraft and the HNA troops flew from various local bases to Xindi Island, which made Kang Fan very excited!

The "Sentinel" is a precision and complex electronic system installed on the body of the "Dapeng" passenger aircraft, including large sea-to-air search radar, large long-range infrared reconnaissance system, and other necessary modifications.

The military special aircraft has inherited the original advantages of the "Dapeng" passenger aircraft, such as the high altitude, high speed, long range, large load capacity and comfortable riding conditions. The flight performance is higher than that of "Seahawk" and "Giant Bird" and so on.

Amphibious, any model in the seaplane series is much better. The most obvious difference between it and "Dapeng" is that there is a large streamlined model made of non-metallic wave-transmitting materials under the nose of the "Sentinel".

The radar antenna fairings and electronic device antennas of various shapes are everywhere in the fuselage, and the number of portholes on each side of the fuselage is reduced to only 6.

Although the "Sentinel" is not a front-line combat aircraft, it is the eyes and mouthpiece of various branches of the National Defense Forces. It is a new concept electronic warplane integrating reconnaissance, intelligence, communication and command functions. It can be said to be the most technical of the National Defense Forces equipment.

Military aircraft with a content of ​​are extremely expensive and can only be used as a high-end, important weapon system at the strategic level.

The arrival of this type of aircraft has doubled the sea and air surveillance range of Shindi Island, thus liberating some "Sea Eagle-B" amphibious patrol aircraft, allowing these aircraft to support submarines that operate in the Indian Ocean and serve as submarine troops.

Provide target search and instructions, crew rescue, logistics supply and other services to improve the combat capabilities of the submarine force.

"Judy, try it?" Kang Fan pulled her into a "Sentinel" cabin numbered hh-50102 without waiting for Judy to answer. The six airborne system operators in the cabin hurriedly stood up to salute.

The expression was a little nervous. These airborne system operators were professional sergeants, fiddling with various electronic equipment all day long, and they were all experts in this field.

Kang Fan quickly waved his hand and smiled, "Just pretend we are not here."

For the convenience of conversation, a system operator at the front took off the headphones he was wearing and said, "General is joking! You and your wife are here, how can we think nothing has happened!"

Kang Fan smiled considerately and said, "Okay, let's take care of everyone."

The system operator also smiled, "Our captain said you will definitely take our plane today. Because we are the first 'sentinel' to carry out the mission at the Xindi Island base, the general will not miss this opportunity... The captain said

By the way."

Kang Fan nodded and smiled, "Yes. Your captain is right."

At this moment, the captain's voice came from the loudspeaker in the cabin: "All crew members are looking for: hh-50102 is ready to take off, please give everyone your own advice... Welcome the general and the general's wife to take the plane. All crew members are honored!"

Everyone took their seats, and Kang Fan and Judy were arranged in the crew member's rest cabin next door. Last time Kang Fan ignored Judy's objection when he was riding in the "Flying Fortress", but this time he simply pulled Judy together.

I'm here to avoid Judy's concern for him anymore. It seems that Judy is happy.

The "Sentinel" alert aircraft generally fly at an altitude of 8,000 to 12,000 meters. In this altitude range, its onboard radar performance can be fully utilized, with the farthest detection range and the widest coverage range. Because the aircraft is each

The flight missions were over 10 hours. In order to enable crew members to have a good rest, the crew members on the plane's rest cabin, kitchen, toilet and other living facilities are even more advanced than those of the "Dapeng" passenger plane.

After a while, the four engines of the hh-50102 emitted a huge roar. Looking out from the wide portholes in the rest cabin of the crew members, the four huge 4-blade propellers were spinning faster and faster, dragging the body weighing more than 50 tons, and the speed was swift.

The buildings, planes, personnel, vehicles and other buildings in the airport swept back quickly and were instantly thrown out of sight. Suddenly, hh-50102 raised its head, left the ground, and inserted it directly.

Yunxiao, the climbing speed must exceed 250 meters per minute! Xindi Island quickly shrank and quickly went away, and soon it turned into a small green dot.

After the hh-50102 was turned into a flat flight at an altitude of 9 kilometers, it cruised at a speed of 200 knots, and the fuselage immediately became stable. In this way, the personnel on board could walk around at will. Kang Fan then pulled Judy to wander around the plane.

The "Sentinel" cabin is divided into two upper and lower levels by the floor. The upper level is the main cabin, from front to back, the cockpit, crew member rest cabin, combat cabin, kitchen, and toilet; the lower level is the equipment cabin of various airborne electronic systems.

The two are now in the combat compartment, with 6 system consoles and seats for 6 system operators in the compartment. The compartment is the combat center of the "Sentinel" alert aircraft, responsible for sea and air reconnaissance, target indication, communication and radio detection.

The system operators in it can transmit battlefield information obtained by the onboard radar, radio reconnaissance system, infrared search device and other tasks to the National Defense Forces in real time through the onboard remote radio transmission system.

The combat command center, troops at all levels, etc. are used for combat deployment or to directly command a single warship or fighter jet of the National Defense Forces to perform emergency tasks. The cabin has no portholes, only a few red ceiling lights, and the light is dim, but the display on the system console

The screen and indicator lights are very bright.

Kang Fan walked to a system console and saw various symbols and images clearly displayed on the green display screen. If he didn't understand, he asked the operator. The operator patiently gave Kang Fan while working.

Explain.

"How far can the airborne radar discover the submarine periscope exposed to the sea?" Kang Fan asked.

"20 nautical miles." The operator replied.

"Where is the battleship?" Kang Fan asked again.

"From the current flight altitude of the aircraft, the resolution distance of the local radar against large targets such as battleships can reach 120 nautical miles or even more," the operator replied.

Kang Fan was satisfied, "120 nautical miles? The British battleship's general speed is 25 knots, and it takes nearly 5 hours to sail 120 nautical miles. And our Skyhawk-B fighter speed is 300 knots. Even the British battleship

120 nautical miles away from Novada, but its naval gun range will not exceed 20 nautical miles. If you want to attack Novada, they have to continue sailing 100 nautical miles before entering their naval gun range. During this period, our "Sky Eagle"

-B"Fighter jets can launch more than a dozen waves of attacks on it. If they are in the far sea, the British will have no chance of attacking."

"The general is right." The operator smiled, "The British battleship displacement is mostly more than 20,000 tons, the main gun caliber is more than 300 mm, the maximum caliber reaches 381 mm, the shell weight exceeds 1 ton, and the maximum range is farther than 1 ton.

It can reach 16 nautical miles. Our Qing-class cruiser will have the possibility of being sunk as long as one such shell is taken. But if we launch an air attack on the British battleship from a long distance, their main guns will be

Because of its small elevation angle and slow firing rate, it has no air defense capabilities, and its ship-based anti-aircraft weapons are insufficient in performance and quantity, which poses little threat to our combat institutions and can only be passively beaten. Even if the British battleships have heavy armor

It's useless."

Kang Fan nodded in appreciation and said, "The main gun of the British battleship can send large-caliber shells 16 nautical miles away to attack our warships, but our fighter planes can fly 500 nautical miles with bombs before placing the bombs at a high altitude.

Throw it onto their heads. What's the use of the British battleship's main gun is that big?

"Yes." The operator nodded and said yes.

Kang Fan was excited on the plane, but Judy gradually lost her patience. Two hours later, Judy could no longer help and returned to the crew member's rest cabin to sleep. Kang Fan was accompanied by the captain and was on the plane.

After walking around, I returned to the crew member's rest cabin. At this time, Judy was already asleep on the large and comfortable sleeper. The captain made a pot of tea for Kang Fan and went to work on his own business. Kang Fan took a seat.

On the sofa beside the porthole, drinking tea and looking at the endless sea and sky outside the machine, the thoughts fluctuated.

At present, the strategic effect of the National Defense Forces taking the initiative to force the coalition forces to declare war hastily seems to be very active, but the National Defense Forces' combat readiness is getting more and more thorough. After capturing the New Territories Islands, they went from China to the Indian Ocean in northeast Africa.

The route becomes safer, and the Massawa base can receive local support at any time. It will only be more difficult for the coalition forces to achieve the goal of capturing the Massawa base.

"What are you thinking?" Judy woke up and asked Kang Fan with sleepy eyes.

Kang Fan smiled, "I'm thinking about Masawa."

"You're not sure where?" Judy asked.

Kang Fan shook his head, "The National Defense Army is already full of wings, and I have nothing to worry about. What I am worried about is the National Defense Army's naval and air force. They have not experienced a real naval and air war, and they are a little immature compared to the Army.

It seems that both sides of the enemy and us are extremely concerned about the Masawa base in Egypt, but the real key is actually the control of the sea in the Indian Ocean. As long as either side of the enemy and us obtain control of the sea in the Indian Ocean, it means the final victory. Now it seems that we have won.

Half of it.”

Judy nodded, "I will stay with you until this war is won before returning to the United States."

Kang Fan was silent for a while and said in a muffled manner: "When this war is over, I will go back to the United States with you... I want to go back to our children for a while."

"Well..." Judy's eyes were swaying in tears.

hh-50102 patrolled the air for more than 10 hours, penetrated deep into the sea and air in the southern Indian Ocean. The farthest point was 1,800 nautical miles away from Xindi Island, more than twice the normal patrol radius of "Seahawk-B". After a long-range flight, it was more than twice the size of the "Seahawk-B".

When the HH-50102 returned to Huaxing Island Airport, the huge wings on board had very little fuel left, so the weight of the aircraft was much lighter, and it felt quite light when landing.

"Without the escort fighter plane, would you dare to drive this unarmed 'sentinel' to take the general and the general's wife to such a distance to carry out the mission? You are so brave!" Director Li was furious and pointed at the captain of hh-50102.

He yelled with a blushing face and thick neck, "If an accident occurs, how many heads do you have to bear the consequences?! Why not return before flying out of the protection area of ​​our fighter plane? Who allowed you to do this?"

"It's me." Kang Fan replied while rushing over to pull Director Li away, smiling flatteringly, "Old Li, it's my order. If you want to get angry, come on me. It has nothing to do with the captain."

Judy also pulled Director Li together and said, "Okay, Lao Li, please relieve the fire! Kang Fan was too excited. Besides, he firmly believed that the pilots would do it well."

Director Li shook the two of them away with a fierce look, pointed at the captain with a gritted teeth, and walked away with a angrily humming.

"General, I want to return halfway, you won't let me! Look, are you causing trouble?" The captain complained with a frown.

Kang Fan smiled and said, "The National Defense Forces HNA is equipped with the best fighter jets in the world and has the best fighter jet pilots in the world. Why can't I believe your abilities?"

The captain was speechless all of a sudden.

"I'll make a good meal for Lao Li to coax it tonight." Judy smiled.

Kang Fan smiled, "Then please."

After the construction of the Xindi Island base began to take shape, the base commander wanted to give his office and residence to Kang Fan and Judy for temporary residence, but Director Li did not agree, but instead found a building closest to the lagoon in the base.

The barracks arranged for Kang Fan, Judy, to live with the guards and soldiers and some personnel from the Security Bureau, and ordered a "Jiaolong-Arch" class submarine to dock on the shore and stand by at any time. In this way, if Xindi Island is lost

He could send Kang Fan directly from the barracks to the submarine to escape from danger. Despite this arrangement, everyone still had a meal with the base officers and soldiers. The food in the base canteen was very good, so Director Li did it to Judy

There was no interest in American-style meals, so he did not accept Judy's invitation, making Judy unhappy all night.

"This old Li is really not worthy of face!" Judy pouted and fell and beat him in the house.

Kang Fan had no choice but to eat the food prepared by Judy. In order to make Judy happy, he tried to eat as much as possible, but he couldn't sleep well all night.
