196: National War Preparation: Ghost Air Force Attacks Aircraft Carrier!

Dragon Country.

Air Force Command Headquarters, Operations Command Room.

Comrade Peng Lin, Marshal Xu Yong'an, and Air Force Commander-in-Chief Liu Yufei personally witnessed the scene of the Sixth Fleet's F-18 "Hornet" fighter jets being electronically deceived and shooting down an EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare aircraft.

However, at this moment, Marshal Xu Yong'an and Commander-in-Chief Liu Yufei still had ashen faces.

Although the Dragon Country Air Force had long prepared various emergency war plans, the moment the USA' F-18 "Hornet" fighter jets actually opened fire still filled them with immense anger!

Did the The White House and The Pentagon calculate that Dragon Country dared not truly engage in war with them?

Or did they believe that as a Global Superpowers, they had nothing to fear from going to war with Dragon Country?

Regardless of the possibility, it had already touched the bottom line of the Dragon Country Military!

"Comrade Peng Lin, are there any other retaliation plans?"

Minister of National Defense Marshal Xu Yong'an looked at Comrade Peng Lin and asked.

Although the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft successfully used electronic deception to shoot down an EA-6B electronic warfare aircraft from the Nimitz Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier Battle Group, he still felt it wasn't satisfying enough!

"These sons of bitches, they better be bolder and fire a few more air-to-air missiles!"

Commander-in-Chief Liu Yufei also chimed in.

"Yes!"

"There really is!"

"Electronic deception is not just about luring enemy missiles; it can even throw the entire Sixth Fleet into chaos..."

Comrade Peng Lin looked at the two leaders and immediately replied.

Currently, the J-16D's electronic warfare capabilities are unique on a Global scale!

If the J-16D went all out, it would certainly give the USA' Sixth Fleet a run for its money!

"Good!"

"You don't need to worry about the consequences; go all out with the retaliation!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an looked at Comrade Peng Lin and said in a deep voice.

Immediately, he then looked at the nearby communicator.

"Through all military regions, all service command headquarters, strategic support forces, and joint logistics support forces, the entire Army will immediately enter a Level Two combat readiness state!"

"The Army's Northwest and Southwest Heavy Combined Arms Brigades will immediately assemble, and long-range rocket artillery units will set up pre-planned firing positions to ensure rapid firepower delivery to hot areas!"

"All border defense forces will strengthen border control and strictly prevent infiltration by hostile forces!"

"In the Southeast and Southern seas, all J-10 Fighter Jets will take off with live ammunition for 24-hour uninterrupted patrols!"

"The Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile train will enter its pre-planned firing position and complete target parameter setting!"

"The joint logistics support forces will complete strategic material allocation within 24 hours to ensure the sustained combat capability of frontline units..."

"This order takes effect from the moment it is issued. The entire Army must, with a combat posture of 'always ready to annihilate invading enemies,' defend the dignity of Dragon Country!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an gave the order.

And Comrade Peng Lin, listening to Marshal Xu's orders from the side, immediately felt confident.

"'Hidden Dragon' Squadron, this is the Air Force Command Headquarters Command Center!"

"Action order issued: your electronic warfare aircraft will go all out to conduct comprehensive electronic suppression against the Nimitz Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier Battle Group, and simultaneously simulate our Air Force's main fighter jets for electronic deception..."

Comrade Peng Lin's expression was solemn as he issued the action command... Skies above the Persian Gulf.

"'Hidden Dragon' Squadron received!"

Lei Yi replied in a deep voice.

At the same time, two J-16D electronic warfare aircraft suddenly climbed in altitude, their wingtip electronic pods operating at full power, and the airborne "Long Xiao (Dragon's Roar)" jamming system released a violent electromagnetic torrent.

An "Electromagnetic Black Domain" covering hundreds of kilometers was forming over the Persian Gulf!

Lei Yi rapidly manipulated the controls in the cockpit of the No. 1 J-16D electronic warfare aircraft, and instantly, the electronic warfare system completely took over the radar frequency band of the Nimitz Carrier Battle Group!

—Boom!

Electromagnetic waves swept across the battlefield like a tsunami. On the Nimitz's shipborne radar screen, the previously empty sea-sky boundary suddenly erupted with dense light dots!

Twenty aircraft! Thirty aircraft! Fifty aircraft!

A full two hundred fighter jets appeared in the Persian Gulf!

The J-16D's electronic deception system was using a flood of data to forge a "Ghost Air Force"!

...Nimitz Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier, Operations Command Center.

Suddenly, the Nimitz Carrier's shipborne radar operator's pupils contracted, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Sir!"

"Large-scale enemy aircraft detected!"

"Bearing 275, speed Mach 1.8, approaching our position!"

The radar operator screamed hoarsely.

Alarms shrieked in the Carrier's command room. Rear Admiral Jack Harrison, the commander of the Nimitz Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier Battle Group, stared intently at the "fighter jets" swarming across the screen like a plague of locusts, his face ashen!

Were these real or fake fighter jets?

When did Dragon Country deploy so many fighter jets in the Persian Gulf region?

Could this be an electronic deception tactic?

Recalling the electromagnetic warfare with the Dragon Country Air Force not long ago, Rear Admiral Jack Harrison couldn't help but feel suspicious.

If these fighter jets were real, not only would all of the Nimitz Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier's carrier-based aircraft have to scramble to meet the enemy!

They would even have to issue warnings to the Sixth Fleet and all USA military bases in the Middle East, urging them to quickly launch fighter jets for support!

Otherwise, with such a formation from the Dragon Country Air Force, the entire Sixth Fleet would likely suffer immense losses!

However, if this were fake!

All carrier-based aircraft of the entire Sixth Fleet taking off, all fighter jets from Middle East military bases coming to support, only for it to turn out to be a false alarm!

Wouldn't that make the USA Military and The Pentagon lose face in front of the entire Global community?

Especially now, with the eyes of the entire Global focused on the Middle East, every move here would be magnified and scrutinized by countries worldwide!

"Report, Sir!"

"The Pentagon has issued a war warning via data link to all overseas military garrisons and fleets. The Dragon Country Ministry of National Defense has suddenly activated a Level Two combat readiness state, and intercontinental missile trains have entered pre-planned launch positions!"

"Defense Secretary himself has issued a warning to us, urging the Sixth Fleet to be careful with air defense. He fears that the Dragon Country Military's move is because we shot down their J-16D electronic warfare aircraft!"

The tactical commander urgently reported to Jack Harrison.

At this moment, beads of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead!

These two hundred fighter jets couldn't be real, could they?

Dragon Country's goal was to strike their Sixth Fleet!

And the recent electronic warfare was just an appetizer!

"Dragon Country entering a nationwide Level Two combat readiness state, two hundred fighter jets suddenly appearing in the Persian Gulf..."

At this moment, as the commander of the Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier Battle Group, Jack Harrison's mind raced.

He also recalled how the Dragon Country Air Force had secretly delivered 36 j-10e fighter jets to Iraq, launching the "Long Xiao (Dragon's Roar)" operation and catching Iran and the Soviet Union off guard!

So he felt that Dragon Country was playing for real!

Not only had the Dragon Country Air Force secretly moved a large number of advanced third-generation fighter jets to Iraq, but even the Elak Ministry of Defense might have participated in this attack targeting the Sixth Fleet!

"Warning!"

"Issue an urgent war warning!"

"All carrier-based aircraft of the Nimitz Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier will scramble immediately, and the Carrier Battle Group will enter a Level One combat readiness!"

"Also, send out an urgent distress signal, requesting immediate support from the other three Carrier Battle Groups in the Arabian Sea!"

"All Middle East Air Force military bases, rush to our aid!"

Rear Admiral Jack Harrison commanded.

In his eyes, a massive war had arrived!

This was even the fuse for the Third Global War!

When the world's most powerful Superpowers and the world's most populous country engage in full-scale war, what else could it be but the Third Global War?
