Yuan Yi stood quietly behind a group of officers, listening to Captain Li Jun speak.
"The mission code name for this exercise is 'Winter Thunder'."
"Apart from the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which is operating in the Indian Ocean."
"The five carrier strike groups, namely the Shandong, Fujian, Henan, Beijing, and Shanghai, along with related warships, are all participating in this exercise."
Yuan Yi gasped upon hearing this.
Currently, our mother only has six aircraft carriers, yet she has deployed five of them to directly blockade the relevant sea areas to obstruct Emily's exercises.
This is quite a large undertaking.
Since our mother built six aircraft carriers, at most she has only formed two carrier strike groups to appear in other sea areas.
Unexpectedly, this time they actually used a five-carrier strike group to overpower America's two carriers.
The officers in the command center gasped in shock upon hearing Li Jun's words.
They had previously carried out training missions together with several other aircraft carriers, from their initial deployment to training exercises.
However, as for conducting exercises, they have only done so with another aircraft carrier before. This is the first time that all five aircraft carriers have conducted exercises together.
"Captain, what role are we playing in this exercise with five aircraft carriers together?"
"Yeah, Captain, are we the Red Team or the Blue Team?"
Which aircraft carrier are we facing?
Li Jun smiled as he looked at everyone's gazes.
"Our mission this time isn't with the Red Team or the Blue Team!"
Everyone looked puzzled after hearing Li Jun's words.
Their usual exercises are either red-blue force-on-force drills, live-fire exercises, and basic anti-submarine and anti-missile training exercises.
"Captain, are we preparing for anti-submarine warfare this time?"
Li Jun still had a smiling expression.
Yuan Yi pursed his lips; he hated people with squinty eyes the most.
He speaks in a very casual way, but he can drive people crazy with anxiety.
Then there's the riddle teller, who only says one thing and the rest is up to the guesser.
Yuan Yi would want to teach these kinds of people a lesson they'd never forget!
However, he dared not say anything at this moment and could only hide behind the crowd and roll his eyes.
Seeing that Li Jun had appeased his appetite, he stopped keeping him in suspense.
"The mission of our Fujian aircraft carrier strike group this time is to blockade relevant waters in the East China Sea and delineate the exercise area."
"We've completely blocked the Koreans' path of advance!"
Li Jun had finished speaking, but the officers below still looked completely bewildered.
They understand the division of exercise areas, but they don't understand why the Koreans' exit routes are blocked.
After all, Emily's exercises with other countries have not yet been officially announced.
Only the highest-ranking JW on our mother's side knows this.
By the way, Li Jun definitely knows.
As Yuan Yi was thinking this, he heard Li Jun's explanation.
"Emerica, the Japanese, the Koreans, the monkeys, the elephants, and other countries together formed the winter naval exercise."
"We all know Emily's wolfish ambitions."
"It's clear what they're trying to say by involving so many of our neighboring countries in this exercise."
"We were originally planning to visit the Koreans, but as you all have seen,..."
"They are openly bullying our fishing boats on the high seas, and this time they have even made a direct diplomatic note to us."
"Instead of apologizing, they also directly banned us from conducting activities in the relevant waters."
"This isn't some old man hanging himself; he's trying to die!"
"In such a small place, the weather forecast is directly based on the national forecast."
"It's not even as big as our province, and there's always so much trouble going on."
"Do they think they'll be worry-free just because they've latched onto their American daddy?"
“They’re so wrong. This time, we’ll let them know what’s going on in Asia.”
"Mom said you can't go out to sea, so you'd better stay home obediently."
"It was our navy's fault for making you travel an extra nautical mile."
"Alright, this time we'll join forces with the aircraft carrier Jingcheng to blockade the East China Sea."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, some people were excited, while others frowned and fell into deep thought.
This was also the first time Yuan Yi had heard about the plan from above.
Their current location was directly projected into his mind.
Currently, the Fujian ship is about 100 nautical miles away from the South Koreans, while the Beijing ship is still sailing in the waters off the coast of Japan.
However, the sea area is quite large, and it would be difficult for them to blockade it with just two carrier strike groups.
Yuan Yi wasn't the only one who thought this way; the other officers naturally voiced different opinions as well.
"Report."
A colonel shouted it out.
"speak."
Li Jun looked at the colonel.
"It's Zhou Chengfei, the captain of the 10,000-ton destroyer in their carrier strike group."
"Yes, Captain."
"Our mission is to block the Koreans' passage."
"We can blockade the East China Sea, but we can't blockade the Japanese's sea of cherry blossoms."
"If the Koreans bypass us from the other side, wouldn't our blockade mission fail just the same way?"
After hearing Zhou Chengfei's words, the captains of the other destroyers and frigates nodded in agreement.
Yes, they don't only have the East China Sea as their outlet.
If the Koreans want to go out to sea, they either have to go through the Yellow Sea to reach the Pacific Ocean, or they have to go through the Japanese's Cherry Blossom Sea.
