I built an armada.

The third carrier fleet to arrive at the battlefield was naturally the one previously discovered by the Dark Night One high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.

Even though the USS Carl carrier fleet has not yet appeared on the battlefield, everyone knows in their hearts that it is only a matter of time before the USS Carl carrier fleet arrives on the battlefield.

Especially now, with the Enterprise carrier strike group suffering more than half its losses and the Condor carrier paralyzed, and the Eagle Clan Navy in a state of complete defeat on this battlefield, it is even more impossible for the Carl carrier strike group to change course and turn back.

That being said, given the current carrier-attacking capabilities demonstrated by the Longxia tribe, even if the USS Karl wanted to storm the battlefield with great fanfare, it would probably have to carefully consider whether it had the strength to do so.

After weighing the pros and cons again, Liu Huaming made the decision: "Let's begin!"

"Yes!"

Xu Dongguo nodded solemnly, then turned to the communications soldier and ordered, "Immediately contact the commanders of the three combat regiments at the front; I need to speak with them."

"Yes, Chief!"

The communications soldier immediately sprang into action after receiving the order.

On the other side, in the eastern sea area, all the warships of the First Combat Corps remained on high alert, each warship in its own battle position, concealing its whereabouts with its powerful stealth capabilities.

Inside the main control room of the 10,000-ton destroyer, upon learning that Yunfan II had hit the USS Condor with incredible precision, Captain Chen and the others were overjoyed, each feeling a sense of great satisfaction.

They hit the aircraft carrier twice with incredible accuracy, truly making them a carrier killer! I'm so excited.

For the Longxia Navy, which currently lacks nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and even amphibious assault ships, its significance cannot be overstated.

With this killer weapon, the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet can be prevented from operating near the Dragon Summer Tribe's waters again, giving the navy more time to develop its equipment.

"That's great, another hit on the aircraft carrier."

Captain Chen couldn't suppress his smile any longer. "From now on, if an aircraft carrier fleet wants to show off its power in front of us, it's just a dream!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the communications soldier ran over to Captain Chen and reported: "Captain, Commander Xu at headquarters has established a forward communications channel and requested that we connect."

The deputy head of headquarters?

Captain Chen was taken aback, not understanding why such a request would be made at this time.

What does Xu Dongguo mean by requesting access to the newly established unified communications channel? Is there some new mission that requires them to act in unison?
Are you suggesting they all work together to destroy the Vulture carrier fleet that has already been hit?

With the current number of anti-ship ballistic missiles possessed by the three combat corps, it is sufficient to launch two saturation attacks on the USS Condor carrier fleet.

Even if we can't completely annihilate the USS Condor carrier fleet, we can cripple it, just like the USS Enterprise carrier fleet, leaving us at their mercy in the end!

Controlling two carrier fleets simultaneously, given the existing three combat corps, presents a considerable challenge.

By that point, their anti-ship ballistic missiles will be almost depleted, and if any unexpected situation arises along the way, they will face the embarrassing situation of insufficient ammunition.

After all, the second batch of supplies had not yet arrived, and the replenishment ship was still at least two hours away from the front line, while the war was progressing very quickly.

After some deliberation, Captain Chen decisively ordered, "Communications officer, connect immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

The communications troops immediately sprang into action, and the massive 10,000-ton ship was instantly connected to the unified communications channel.

Captain Dong of the Second Combat Corps also received the order immediately. Although he had some doubts, he still connected to the communication channel as soon as possible.

On the other side, in the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, even though the Third Combat Corps was not easily detected by the enemy due to the cover of darkness, they still maintained a high level of vigilance, with air search radar constantly monitoring any abnormal air situations around them.

Inside the main control room of the 10,000-ton destroyer, Cao Youren and the deputy captain kept their eyes glued to the radar display.

On the screen, several small red cursors were moving rapidly, and the distance between the two sides was constantly shrinking. In just a short while, the distance had been reduced from more than 150 kilometers to more than 20 kilometers.

According to previous regulations, targets should be eliminated at a distance of 120 kilometers. In other words, if the distance is reduced by another 10 kilometers, they will be able to open fire and shoot down those reconnaissance planes.

After the attack, they will immediately move to a different sea area, giving the enemy absolutely no chance to lock on.

For the Third Combat Corps, the various types of warships were scattered in a scattered pattern, but overall, the formation was not broken at all, and they could concentrate their superior firepower to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

Moving was just to avoid being discovered and to ensure my own safety.

After all, launching anti-aircraft missiles would expose one's position, while maintaining necessary maneuverability can minimize the risk of being destroyed.

"Report to the captain: The reconnaissance aircraft launched from the USS Condor is 128 kilometers away from our position and is about to enter our pre-set strike range."

After glancing at the data, the radar monitor immediately reported loudly.

"okay, I get it."

Cao Youren nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a calm light.

Even if he were to shoot down all of these reconnaissance planes and ensure their complete demise, he would feel no psychological pressure whatsoever.

They crippled even the USS Condor carrier fleet, and the USS Condor was paralyzed. What problem could there be in knocking out these reconnaissance planes?

At this critical moment, the communications officer's voice suddenly rang out: "Reporting to the captain, Commander Xu from headquarters has ordered us to immediately connect to the unified communications channel."

Upon hearing this, Cao Youren's brows immediately furrowed.

At this critical moment, with enemy reconnaissance planes getting closer and closer, wouldn't joining the fleet's unified communication channel now expose their exact location?

After all, enemy reconnaissance aircraft are also equipped with radio detection and lock-on devices, and if they are locked on by the other side, their situation will be quite dangerous.

They've already penetrated deep behind enemy lines, and the enemy is equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles. Don't underestimate them just because they're slow; they have a long range, are small targets, and are extremely difficult to detect. If they get hit, the consequences would be unimaginable. If we don't connect, what if headquarters needs to communicate with them about an important combat mission? Wouldn't that be a missed opportunity, resulting in a terrible loss of strategic opportunity?

This was as if the three combat corps had agreed to launch a saturation attack immediately after Yunfan 1 hit the Enterprise aircraft carrier, thus achieving success in one fell swoop.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

Seeing that Captain Chen hadn't spoken for a while, the vice-captain became curious and asked directly, "Wasn't the USS Condor hit by us? Why is headquarters still asking us to establish a unified communication channel?"

"Could it be that a brand new operational plan is about to be released?"

Cao Youren snapped out of his daze, turned to look at the deputy captain, and immediately ordered, "Pass down the order to all affiliated ships of the Third Combat Corps to maintain a high state of alert."

"Signal soldier, immediately connect to the unified communications channel and maintain contact with headquarters."

The communications officer quickly replied, "Yes, Captain."

As soon as the order was issued, all the ships of the Third Combat Corps entered an air defense and anti-missile alert state. They would open fire immediately upon detecting any incoming targets.

Soon all three combat corps were connected to the unified communication channel.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Xu Dongguo, as the first deputy group leader, immediately took action.

"The three major combat corps are all in place, so I'll get straight to the next steps."

"The USS Condor carrier fleet is our next target, but not our primary target. For the next mission, I need the close cooperation of your three combat groups to accomplish it."

"This mission is very special in nature, but it is of great importance, and we absolutely cannot be careless in the slightest!"

"Do you all understand?"

Soon, the three leaders of the three major combat corps responded in unison over the communication channel: "Reporting, sir, we understand."

"Please give the order, sir, and we guarantee to complete the mission."

Whether it was Captain Dong, Captain Chen, or Cao Youren, they all understood one thing: the upcoming mission was likely related to the future direction of the navy and was extremely important. Otherwise, Xu Dongguo would not have specifically emphasized that it was of great importance.

In that case, the next task is naturally much more important than dealing with the Condor carrier fleet, requiring the three combat groups to work together more closely to ensure the successful completion of this mission.

This task can be described as both glorious and arduous!
"Good morale, then I'll proceed with the mission."

Xu Dongguo was very satisfied with the attitude of the leaders of the three combat corps, and then immediately assigned tasks: "This mission is to protect Su Dingping, your Commander Su, as he visits the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier."

"What this trip means, I believe you can all guess even if I don't say it. Your mission is to ensure Chief Su's safety at all costs!"

The three captains were shocked upon hearing this, their pupils dilating in shock.

Su Dingping's importance to the navy is irreplaceable. It can be said that without him, the navy would not have the powerful combat capability it has today, and they would not be able to roam the seas so freely and make great achievements.

They did not expect that Su Dingping would actually go to the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier for a visit.

Holy crap, isn't this way of playing a much bigger game?
Fortunately, the other side was also in the waters related to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, at least several hundred kilometers away. If something happened to them, their three combat regiments would be powerless to help, as distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

Of the three, whether it was Captain Chen, Captain Dong, or Cao Youren, Cao Youren had the closest relationship with Su Dingping, having served alongside Su Dingping on maritime missions.

To be honest, Cao Youren knew very well that his selection as captain of the 10,000-ton destroyer was largely due to a special maritime mission he had carried out with Su Dingping. Back then, he had witnessed Su Dingping's audacity; to test the warship's performance, he dared to sail alone to the waters of the Eastern Wilderness tribes to provoke them.

It's fair to say that, among all the researchers in the entire Longxia tribe, Su Dingping is the only one with such audacity.

But we can't take such a big risk, can we?

After taking a deep breath, Cao Youren said directly, "Commander, isn't this a bit too risky? In any case, not to mention that the Enterprise aircraft carrier is far away in the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, there are more than 90 fighter jets circling above the fleet, which can carry out combat missions at any time."

"There are also some units capable of anti-ship operations, but the journey is extremely dangerous, and Commander Su cannot take that risk!"

They spoke with such confidence and self-righteousness.

However, Xu Dongguo then said directly, "Cao Youren, I understand what you mean, but I want to tell you that not only did I fail to persuade him, but even Commander Xue failed to persuade him!"

Upon hearing this news, Cao Youren felt a chill run down his spine.

My goodness! Even the Supreme Commander of the Three Armies couldn't persuade Su Dingping. Isn't that a bit too audacious?
Every one of them trembled with fear upon seeing Commander Xue.
Captain Chen and Captain Dong listened with bitter expressions, knowing all too well what this meant.

"The Enterprise's voyage must be arranged as soon as possible. You all don't want to see him sneaking off alone, do you?"

Xu Dongguo's words sent shockwaves through the hearts of the three, including Cao Youren, leaving them speechless and stunned. It was absolutely mind-blowing.

Cao Youren, in particular, felt his head buzzing.

Others might not believe Su Dingping would do such a thing, but he believed it one hundred percent. After the 10,000-ton warship was built, he, under Su Dingping's command, piloted the warship to the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe to ambush the Eagle Tribe's U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

That operation was carried out without consulting anyone, and it ended up causing a huge misunderstanding, leading the people at headquarters to believe that they had encountered a mysterious enemy warship.

In the end, Su Dingping not only escaped any punishment, but was also commended by headquarters for shooting down enemy high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft in succession, and he and others also benefited from the honor and were promoted.

If they didn't provide assistance, and if the integrated naval factory developed some mysterious warship, Su Dingping would very likely secretly pilot that warship into the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, get close to the Enterprise aircraft carrier, and forcibly board it.

If such a thing were to happen, the commanders of their three combat corps would be extremely embarrassed and put in a very passive position.

Wouldn't that be a blatant mockery of their lack of courage? (End of Chapter)
