Chapter 1370 Opening (Second update, please subscribe)

On this day, in the desolate and nameless bay of San Jorge Bay, the first ones to be frightened were the seals and penguins lying on the beach. Suddenly, torpedo attack planes flew out from the valley, one after another, almost brushing the beach. Amid the commotion of the animals, they quickly rushed towards the sea, and even some little penguins were knocked down by the strong impact force of the planes' propellers.

"What's going on? Why are they flying so low? Let them maintain 40 meters, not lower it to zero degrees!" Lu Deren, who was observing from the air, said coldly.

Flight training is ruthless. If you are not careful, an accident will happen, and you may die. However, the pilots are very brave without exception. They don't care about personal danger at all. One after another, they fly out of the valley and disappear into the sea.

"But, Captain Lu, they fly so beautifully!"

Watching this excellent flight training from the sky, Qiu Zhenzhi couldn't help but praise it.

“Be bold during training, but control the urge to take risks!”

Although he said this, Lu Deren couldn't help laughing.

These pilots were all well-trained. Long-term flying gave them a set of solid skills. Under normal circumstances, no accidents would happen. Sure enough, no plane made any mistakes during the training that day. The planes flew out of the narrow valley with excellent vertical turns, flew over the beach full of seals and penguins at a very low altitude, and rushed to the sea.

All this was like a dazzling and gorgeous stunt show, at least in Qiu Zhenzhi's opinion, it was a magical show. Then, he saw the fuselages of those planes tilted upwards in an instant, the wings tilted, and in the blink of an eye they turned back to the right and immediately escaped from the target.

It was truly an aerial stunt.

Lü Deren, who was flying the plane, continued to circle over the bay, observing the pilots' training. Qiu Zhenzhi was also observing, and as he watched, he felt that the scenery under his feet was already the Hampton Roads - the anchorage that brought together all the essence of the US Navy. At this moment, he seemed to see the "Kilsarge", "Kentucky", "Illinois", "Alabama", "Wisconsin", "Missouri", "Ohio", "Rhode Island", "Georgia", "New Jersey", "Rhode Island"... and of course, the once-powerful New York.

The elite warships of the entire US fleet were anchored there, one after another. In the Hampton Roads, where the water was as smooth as a mirror, torpedoes with white tracks rushed towards the target, and the airship machine guns on the enemy warships began to roar. Then there were huge explosions around those warships. In the violent explosions, the warships, which were like hills and symbolized the power of the US Navy, tilted one after another...

Suddenly, Qiu Zhenzhi looked down and saw that the next formation of planes had flown over and began a dive attack.

…

"A large fleet of aircraft was spotted at five o'clock... After confirmation, they were our aircraft and they are returning!"

An observer on the bridge of the flagship aircraft carrier "Jingwei" reported loudly. Although other countries did not have aircraft at that time, he still needed to observe and determine whether it was his own aircraft according to the requirements. A whistle sounded, and the loud speaker on the bridge also roared:

"All deck crew members, take your positions and prepare to recover the fighter planes!"

After issuing the order, the squadron commander, Major General Wu Anping, was about to walk to the rear of the bridge to personally assess the landing operations of the aviation unit, but was stopped by the operations staff officer, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Hongyong.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I just received an order from the fleet headquarters."

"read."

Major General Wu Anping said.

"To: Commander-in-Chief of the First Air Fleet. From: Imperial Navy General Staff. Order: Stop the exercise immediately and sail to the Blanca Bay base at full speed. February 23, 26th year of the Holy Trinity, 2:14:18."

He glanced toward the north, then Major General Wu Anping pulled up the brim of his hat, paused, and said:

"Order - the exercise is terminated immediately. After the aircraft recovery operation is completed, the entire fleet will immediately return with the flagship."

"Understood... Sir, the General Staff has now issued a direct order for us to return. Could it be that..."

Although Jiang Hongyong did not continue speaking, the word "war" was clearly revealed on his face.

Nodding, Wu Anping said:

"Something must have happened. No matter what, let's return to our home port first. Our next mission is to return safely. Other than that, don't let your mind wander. Soldiers, it's your duty to obey orders."

"yes!"

As he was speaking, a "Sea Holly" fighter with a Suzaku pattern painted on its tail wing flew low and slowly over the stern of the ship. Its tail hook perfectly caught an arresting cable located in the middle and rear part of the flight deck, and the plane stopped dead in its tracks.

As soon as the plane came to a complete stop, deckhands in blue vests rushed forward, deftly removed the tail hook from the arresting cable, and then quickly pushed the plane to the parking area on the side of the deck.

Aircraft landing operations are the busiest operations. After all, there are fighter jets waiting to land in the sky. After each aircraft completes landing, they must push it to the parking area as soon as possible to ensure that the landing area is clear.

"War has really broken out."

Jiang Hongyong muttered subconsciously. Standing in the aviation bridge, he could see the situation on the deck very clearly, but he was muttering in his heart.

"What use would we be if war broke out?"

Looking up at the sky, Jiang Hongyong could clearly see the subsequent fighter planes circling and entering the landing route one after another. Full of questions in his mind, he just watched the planes landing.

Just here, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning back, he saw it was Staff Officer Qiu. It was said that this guy came here with a mission.

"Advisor Qiu,"

"Staff Officer Jiang, is the fleet going to return?"

Qiu Zhenzhi asked.

"The order from the Navy General Staff was issued very suddenly, requiring us to return immediately to the Blanca Bay base..."

"That's not our home port,"

Qiu Zhenzhi thought about it and then said.

"It looks like something big has happened!"

"What?"

Jiang Hongyong was stunned. He couldn't understand why this guy said that.

Just at this moment, another plane landed.

"It's Captain Lu's phone."

Qiu Zhen muttered subconsciously. He stared at the plane being pushed to the parking area by the ground staff, and looked at Captain Lu who had not yet got off the plane. He nodded silently.

It seems that everything has begun!

The old group is down, so I created a new book club group: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
