Chapter 820 The US Navy Fleet Has Finally Appeared

Venezuela is actually not far from the United States.

Puerto Rico, in particular, is a U.S. commonwealth that is less than a thousand kilometers away from Venezuela.

So if the United States wanted to launch an attack on Venezuela...

There shouldn't be any major problems with logistics.

It is close to the mainland.

Puerto Rico, a logistics base, is now blocking Venezuela's access to the sea.

Fight however you want.

However, the current international situation is not like that of the first half of the 20th century, when imperialist countries would not even send troops to beat a small country just because they disliked it, for reasons of self-interest.

In addition, the cost of sending American troops out is exorbitant each time.

Therefore, unless the benefits outweigh the costs.

Otherwise, the United States would not have taken action so easily.

The premise is.

The United States did not perceive the threat.

Although the University of Tokyo's teaching delegation kept a low profile and arrived in Venezuela quietly without alerting anyone, they did not make a sound.

But how could we possibly keep it from the United States?
After the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s.

For more than half a century, no country has dared to deploy military forces in America's backyard.

originally.

The United States intends to support proxy wars.

By supporting the opposition in Venezuela to seize power.

This is the only way to maximize profits.

However, now that the University of Tokyo has taken the initiative to intervene in the situation in that country, if the United States remains indifferent, it will be seen as weakness.

The world's superpower can show weakness.

Then there will be more and more defectors.

So after a period of preparation, the US Navy's USS Roosevelt carrier strike group departed its home port.

Puerto Rico has now taken a few days to rest.

Today, we set sail once again.

It's blocked off the coast of Venezuela!

This move by the US Navy was like dropping a bombshell in the Caribbean.

It instantly caused a huge stir.

This led to a sudden escalation of the situation in the Caribbean.

Inside the cockpit of an F-16A/B Fighting Falcon.

Jiang Chen turned the control lever to the left.

This caused the F-16 fighter jet to tilt slightly to the left.

The fighter jet wasn't flying very high.

It's only a little over a hundred meters high.

So the planes roared over the islands and reefs that looked like emeralds embedded in the sea.

Inside the cockpit.

The display screen is constantly changing various parameters.

The airborne radar was scanning the airspace within a range of tens of kilometers directly in front.

They were trying to find a clue in the open sea.

The F100 engine roared deafeningly, like a series of rolling thunderclaps from the horizon.

not far away.

Xiao Yuan served as a wingman, piloting another F-16A/B Fighting Falcon fighter jet.

The two fighter jets formed a combat formation.

They were deployed to the Caribbean Sea to monitor the movements of the US Navy.

Upon learning of the large-scale U.S. military buildup, the training regiment immediately activated its rapid response procedures.

According to the previously established battle plan.

Our side first dispatched two fighter jets with relatively good radar performance to conduct reconnaissance, and cooperated with the ground radar station on the island to find out the exact location of the enemy fleet.

Although the F-16A/B Fighting Falcon's onboard radar is the AN/APG-66 Doppler pulse radar, the Venezuelan Air Force has been using it for a longer time, making it more compatible with the country's ground radar. On the other hand, despite the Su-30MKV being touted as a passive phased array radar, its actual capabilities may not be much stronger than the aging F-16A/B Fighting Falcon.

The Russians' avionics system is a fatal flaw that they can never solve.

Therefore, the reconnaissance mission could only be assigned to the Venezuelan Air Force's F-16A/B Fighting Falcons.

Once the exact location of the enemy fleet is ascertained, the following Su-30MKV fighter group will take action.

They're flexing their muscles with ammunition.

In other words.

This so-called battle plan serves only to intimidate and deter.

Like a puppy.

When it senses an approaching threat, it growls incessantly while baring its sharp canines as a warning.

The puppy knows that the 'enemy' can be killed with a single slap.

However, the exposed canines will also make the 'enemy' wary.

After all, if you get bitten, not only will it hurt, but you'll also have to get a tetanus shot and a rabies vaccine.

It's unacceptable to take such a big risk just because you want to eat dog meat.

Isn't it a case of losing more than you gain?
Not a moment later.

These two F-16 Fighting Falcons have already left the Venezuelan coastline and ventured deep into the Caribbean Sea.

Several countries are located around the Caribbean Sea.

Therefore, the situation is very complicated.

Accidentally.

There is a risk of intruding into the airspace of other countries.

Therefore, Jiang Chen and Xiao Yuan flew with great care, for fear of accidentally intruding into another country's airspace.

By the time.

All the unnecessary things have come up.

Over the “Dongdongyao” communication channel, Xiao Yuan called out in fluent Spanish, “If we fly a few hundred kilometers further, we’ll be almost at Puerto Rico. Why haven’t we spotted the American fleet yet?”

Jiang Chen glanced at the airborne radar screen and said calmly, "The Caribbean Sea is only so big, and the Americans don't seem to have any intention of hiding their tracks. If we fly another hundred or two kilometers, we'll be able to find them."

“This kind of physical reconnaissance can be done by the students (the Venezuelan Air Force pilots’ code name). It’s a waste of our talents to send the two of us out for just one reconnaissance mission,” Xiao Yuan complained.

Their current status is 'Venezuelan Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Instructor'.

Whether it's code names or everyday communication.

They were using Venezuela's official language—Spanish.

Don't think this is just burying your head in the sand.

Thanks to extensive media coverage in the United States, the whole world now knows that Tokyo University sent an Air Force volunteer delegation to Venezuela.

Its purpose is to enhance the strength of the Venezuelan Air Force.

But the University of Tokyo knows that Americans know.

Americans also know that Tokyo University knows it knows.

So what?
Don't the three senior executives often do this?
Although Russia has not explicitly deployed troops to eastern Ukraine (the Russo-Ukrainian war had not yet begun in 2017), the troops stationed there are all active-duty Russian soldiers in disguise.

The same reason.

An unspecified number of American soldiers, acting as mercenaries or volunteers, are also present on the battlefield in eastern Ukraine, fighting against disguised Russian troops.

It is highly unlikely that a large-scale war will break out between the three permanent members of the UN Security Council.

However, proxy wars, and even private conflicts, have never ceased.

However, the University of Tokyo had always been in a passive defensive state.

This time, they took the initiative.

Hearing Xiao Yuan's complaint, Jiang Chen immediately said, "Shut up. If you think you're so great, then go back. I'll handle the rest of the reconnaissance mission by myself. I'm not a genius, and I'm not that precious."

Xiao Yuan quickly said, "Just kidding, why are you getting so worked up?"

“I’ve been keeping an eye on the situation on the Korean Peninsula lately. It feels like the two Koreans are on the verge of war, as if a second Korean War could break out if we’re not careful.” Xiao Yuan changed the subject.

Jiang Chen replied calmly, "The global situation is actually interconnected, and the deteriorating situation on the Korean Peninsula is also related to South America."

"When I was studying the art of mobile warfare command in college, I couldn't remember any of the other tactics, but I remembered one sentence: 'You fight your way, I'll fight mine.'"

Xiao Yuan replied, "I understand. The Americans are stirring up trouble on our doorstep, so we'll stir up trouble on their doorstep in return!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes.

The plane continued flying north for more than 100 kilometers.

Just as Jiang Chen thought there were no US warships in this area and was preparing to return to port.

However, they discovered that several yellow triangle icons had suddenly appeared on the airborne radar screen.

The US Navy fleet he was 'desperately searching for'.

It finally appeared.
