Chapter 517 Declaration of War and Night Raid (6K)
Ah Sanguo!
The capital is Deli City. As the most populous country in the world, the Asan Kingdom often promotes its strength, which is also reflected in all aspects of their diplomacy.
For example, the fine imposed on Jieke Group was unilaterally imposed by the Anti-Monopoly Commission of the three countries. This move also received support from a large number of parliamentarians.
Thanks to the active publicity and campaigning in the country of Asan, the citizens have overwhelming support for this. They think that as the overlord of the surrounding waters, the Jieke Group built the Kra Isthmus Canal without authorization and actually bypassed them and the Asan country monopolized the benefits. That is very Arrogant behavior.
Such ideas are not only popular among the lower classes of Asan Kingdom, but also among the upper classes.
At this time, a cabinet meeting was being held in the Capitol Building in the capital of Asan.
Attendees were Prime Minister of Afghanistan Singh Ranchhoj, Home Minister Rajiv, Defense Minister Vipu, and Finance Minister Raman.
The theme of the cabinet meeting held by this circle of people was the issue between the Jieko Group and the Kra Isthmus.
Singer was the first to speak. He patted the table and said, "Has the Anti-Monopoly Committee received any news from Jieco Group?"
Home Minister Rajiv shook his head and said: "No, JEC Group has not made any statement. There is only one day left before the ten-day response period we gave. It seems that JAC Group is unwilling to pay the US$7.2 billion fine. ”
"Won't Jieco Group look at the situation? At this time, they still dare to anger us?"
Finance Minister Raman was very surprised. The original proposal to fine the Jieco Group was made by him.
Singh nodded thoughtfully, looked at Defense Minister Vipu, and said: "It seems that the Jieko Group has not yet understood the situation. We need to take some action for him so that the other party will understand our attitude. Vipu, you We will arrange a military exercise in the Andaman Sea as soon as possible to see if the other party will be honest.”
"Okay, I will let the Jieko Group see our powerful naval muscles."
Vipu immediately agreed, his eyes quite excited.
If the Jieco Group continues to fail to pay the fine honestly, he will send warships to provoke at the entrance of the Kra Isthmus Canal to let the Jieco Group know who is the leader in this sea area.
"This opportunity is very important to us. The expansion threat of Jieke Group is too blatant. If we don't beat them, they will step on our heads."
Singer continued to speak and fined Jieco Group, which Singer also supported.
The diplomacy of the A-Three Kingdoms has always been to engage in distant relations and attack closely, and its tough diplomatic stance towards surrounding countries has led to the small countries around the A-Three Kingdoms often having more conflicts and even being manipulated by the A-Three Kingdoms.
Like distant countries, the Asan Kingdom will actively make good friends, conduct economic cooperation, and purchase arms from other countries.
The weapons of Asan Kingdom have also become the universal brand. Weapons from all over the world can almost be found in Asan Kingdom.
After the rise of the Jieko Group, the two sides already had territorial borders. The Zen Kingdom to the west and the Asan Kingdom to the east were bordered by land. On the sea, the two sides faced each other across the Bay of Bengal.
As neighboring countries, the attitude of Asan Kingdom will not be good. As the Jieco Group continues to expand, the distaste for the Jieco Group becomes stronger and stronger.
When the Kra Isthmus Canal was opened, this resentment reached its peak, and this was the move to blackmail the Jieco Group in the name of antitrust.
"Yes, we must let Jieco Group understand our attitude."
"In this ocean, Jieko Group also has to look at our eyes and act according to our wishes. They must abide by the rules."
"The Jieke Group has some strength on land, but the century-old navy is not something that a novice like him can understand. If the other party doesn't understand, our dual aircraft carriers will teach them how to do things."
There was a chorus of agreement, and everyone showed confidence on their faces and ambition in their eyes.
A Sanguo is not only blindly confident at the middle and lower levels, but also at the upper levels. This kind of self-confidence is conveyed from the upper levels.
Because every time the top leaders of the A-Three Kingdoms speak, they always say that the A-Three Kingdoms have caught up with the United States and the United States, and their scientific and technological capabilities are among the best in the world. They are a superpower that can stand second to the other.
Such deception, over time, all the people took it seriously.
Of course, Ah San's military strength is indeed justified. The total strength of the army, navy and air force is 1.5 million. With this force, Ah San has always been committed to dominating South Asia, directly controlling the Indian Ocean, and influencing the entire Southeast Asia and the Arabian Sea.
However, the defense industry foundation of the three countries is too poor. Their so-called military strength is highly dependent on imported advanced weapons. They spend a lot of money every year to import and maintain weapons. Their so-called domestic weapons are full of problems.
The Air Force's domestically produced Tejas fighter jet has been developed for more than 40 years, and it still has problems.
The Army's domestically produced Arjun main battle tank has been plagued with various problems during development and service. Even the Arjun Army itself dislikes it and does not want to use it.
The Navy's domestically produced Vikrant aircraft carrier has been in operation for twenty years and has suffered more accidents than one can count on one hand.
This kind of military is like a castle with piles of sand. It looks spectacular, but in fact it can easily collapse with a slight push, exposing its true foundation.
Of course, Ah Sanguo felt so good about himself before anyone broke it.
Just when everyone in the cabinet was full of ambitions, the door was pushed open violently.
A figure rolled in and crawled in. His panting face was pale, making people wonder if the other person would faint without being able to breathe.
This man was the foreign minister of Asan Kingdom. His sudden intrusion made a lot of noise, and everyone looked over.
I saw the Foreign Minister not caring to take a breath, stretched out a trembling hand, handed over a piece of paper, and said in a hoarse voice: "Prime Minister Singh, just now, our Asan Kingdom local time 3:49 pm The Jieco Group’s offices in the three countries of Afghanistan submitted a formal declaration of war to us in the three countries of Azerbaijan. The Jieco Group declared war on us.”
quiet!
The meeting room suddenly became audible, and a few seconds later, heavy breathing sounded.
Singer's pupils dilated, with a look of disbelief on his face. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and when he touched the declaration of war, he retracted it as if he was electrocuted.
"Read it to me."
Singer felt that his body was weighed down by a thousand pounds of weight, so much so that he did not dare to read the declaration of war.
The Foreign Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead and read out the contents of the declaration of war.
"--As we all know, we have been troubled by the issue of the Kra Isthmus Canal for more than a month. We have continued and patiently tried to reach an agreement with neighboring countries on the principles of equal and indivisible security. But in response, we have continued to encounter Either despicable deception and lies At the same time, despite our various protests and concerns, the hostility and targeting of us by the outside world has not stopped, and military blades have even been used to move closer to our borders in an attempt to attack us. On our throats
——
We tried our best to mediate the situation peacefully, but to no avail. We have time and again expressed our friendship to the outside world and provided the closest cooperation when necessary. However, goodwill cannot be one-sided. There must be a response from the other party. We can no longer sit back and watch what is happening. Any enemy who dares to covet the territory and interests of the Jieke Group will be brutally attacked by us like a cold winter.
——
Therefore, I, Su Jie, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Jieko Group, hereby formally declare war on the three countries of Afghanistan and declare to China and foreign countries that all treaties, agreements, and contracts involving the relationship between the two parties will be abolished. This is hereby announced.
February 26, 2029. ”
After reading it all, not only the Foreign Minister, but also everyone in the conference room had their backs wet with sweat.
"Madman, the madman of Jieke Group, the madman of Su Jie."
Singer tremblingly took the declaration of war, the expression on his face was like a neon sign, and his expression kept changing.
He originally just wanted to blackmail the Jieke Group, but he never expected that the Jieke Group would directly declare war on their Asan Kingdom. This was something he had never encountered before.
They extorted so many big companies in the past, but those big companies either paid the fines honestly or withdrew from the Asan Kingdom market in despair. No company has ever dared to confront them in Asan Kingdom, let alone declare war directly.
"Now that we are withdrawing our demand for fines, can we cease the war?"
The Finance Minister's voice stopped rising because he knew he was out of luck.
The Jieko Group actually declared war so forcefully. This was not the outcome that Asan wanted to see. Let alone whether it could win or not, there would always be losses in the war, and Asan had no intention of leading the battle for the beautiful country.
"It's impossible. Others have officially declared war on us. If we back down at this time, how will the people of the country and the whole world see us?"
The Minister of the Interior roared and said with a livid face.
"Now there is only one way to defeat the Jieko Group. Our navy is still stronger than their Jieko Group."
Singh took a deep breath and looked at the Minister of Defense with earnest eyes.
"Please rest assured, our navy of the Asan Kingdom will definitely bring victory to the country. I will mobilize the army and start a war with the Jieke Group."
Seeing everyone looking at him, the Minister of Defense could only bite the bullet and pat his chest to assure him.
Singer felt a little relieved. At least the navy was capable of fighting. The Jieco Group might not launch an attack on land. After all, they were a big country. The Jieco Group did not have such a good appetite. With a population of more than one billion, they did not lack soldiers.
At sea, Asan Kingdom has the upper hand, and it is the Jieke Group that should be afraid.
"Everyone, we must fight back against the provocation of the Jieco Group. With pen and ink, I will also draft a declaration of war against the Jieco Group."
"Yes! Asan Kingdom will win."
Everyone saw Singh's gradually showing confidence, and their morale was slowly boosted.
………………
February 26, 2029.
The Jieco Group suddenly submitted a declaration of war to the Asan Kingdom. On the same day, the Asan Kingdom also submitted a declaration of war to the Jieco Group. The two sides were officially at war.
This sudden news shocked the entire international community. Even those who thought that the Jieco Group would fight back only believed that the Jieco Group sent warships to escort the Kra Isthmus Canal instead of directly declaring war.
But no matter how uproar the outside world is, the war between the Jieko Group and the Asan Kingdom has inevitably begun.
It’s 4:20 a.m. on the 27th, late at night!
While the Asan Kingdom was still actively mobilizing its troops, two huge warships were already cruising here under the deep and dark sea near the Andaman Islands.
These are two Devourer-class deep-submersible cruisers, named Irrawaddy and Salween respectively.
The naming rules for the Devourer-class deep-submersible cruiser are based on the rivers of the Indochina Peninsula. For example, these two Devourer-class deep-submersible cruisers are named after the Irrawaddy and Salween rivers, two rivers with abundant water.
Late at night, the waves were rolling on the sea. Under the water, two cruisers on military missions were quietly dormant.
The captain of the cruiser Irrawaddy, Tufeng Pu, was standing in the command room, staring at the scanning screen fed back by the bioradar in front of him, and comparing it with the overhead reconnaissance picture taken by the satellite to determine the correct route and position.
"Enter the enemy ship's position parameters!"
"Turn on the anti-ship missile autonomous identification radar system!"
"Come to the surface and prepare for launch!"
"Contact the Salween and carry out the attack on time at the appointed time."
Orders were passed down from the command room one by one, and the cruiser immediately became busy. Someone was debugging and checking the status of the missile to ensure the smooth launch process.
Some people stared at the sonar display and radar screen, always paying attention to subtle changes in the outside world, so as not to be exposed in advance during the battleship's ascent.
There are also genetic warriors who control the eight arm-footed tentacles of the Irrawaddy cruiser, slowly paddling the water and floating toward the surface.
Under the silent late night sea surface, a fusiform behemoth jumped out of the sea like a whale, and tons of sea water was squeezed away from both sides.
The Irrawaddy cruiser emerged from the sea. With a huge displacement of more than 40,000 tons, it looked like a hill floating on the sea. Its eight arms and legs twisted and swayed underwater, which looked spectacular.
However, the Irrawaddy cruiser was not fully exposed, but was semi-submerged in the sea. Only the upper layer was exposed to the sea to reduce the risk of being discovered and exposed.
Click!
Click!
Click!
After rising to the surface, the lids of the vertical hair system on the surface of the Irrawaddy cruiser were opened one by one.
With a flash of fire, anti-ship missiles were ignited one after another and shot out from the battleship.
There are two types of anti-ship missiles, one is called Swordfish high-speed anti-ship missile, and the other is called Feiyu subsonic anti-ship missile.
The former is fast, difficult to defend, and expensive to build, while the latter is slow, easy to defend, and cheap and affordable.
Among them, the Swordfish supersonic anti-ship missile is newly developed by Jieke Group. It uses a lot of Kunpeng rocket-related technologies and is mixed with spiritual materials to build it. It can easily reach several times the speed of sound.
The Feiyu anti-ship missile has been around for a long time. In the past, it was launched by Magic Bird fighter jets. When fighting the Siamese Navy, this anti-ship missile was used to sink the Siamese Navy's aircraft carrier. Now it is easy to improve it into a ship-launched model.
Amidst the flames, anti-ship missiles began to rush towards the target. Most of them were subsonic Feiyu anti-ship missiles, and a few were Swordfish supersonic anti-ship missiles.
Hundreds of them were fired back and forth, which took several minutes.
After completing the launch mission, the Irrawaddy cruiser closed the launch silo covers one by one, twisted its eight arms and legs, and quickly dived towards the water.
At the same time, more than 40 kilometers away, the Andaman Sea and Air Joint Military Base has a military port and a military airport. There are four large trestles and docks built in the military port.
Among them, located at the uppermost trestle, there are a total of six Kola-class frigates of more than 1,000 tons parked on both sides.
On the second trestle, there are two battleships docked side by side. They are the destroyer Bombay and the destroyer Mansol. Both destroyers are of the Deli class, with a displacement of about 6,700 tons.
On the third trestle, there are three surfaced submarines here, namely the Kaji, the Kari, and the Weilan, all of which are 2,000-ton submarines.
On the fourth trestle, there are two huge shadows here. One of them is the Jodi supply ship, with a displacement of 36,000 tons.
The other one is one of the prides of the three countries, the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya. It was originally a Kiev-class aircraft carrier of the Mao Xiong Navy. It was later sold to the three countries and served in the navy of the three countries in 2013.
This aircraft carrier has a displacement of 45,400 tons, a length of 283 meters, and a total width of 51 meters. It can carry 24 MiG-29K fighter jets and 6 helicopters. It is one of the stars of the dual aircraft carriers in the three countries.
At this time, at the entrance of the military port, a dredger dredging the river was listlessly working.
"Boss, I'll put some water on it."
Pammy said hello to the captain, walked to the side of the ship, opened her pants and started to drain the water, humming a tune.
As an ordinary Asan countryman, he is also a member of the navy, but he belongs to the engineering branch. This time he was transferred here to serve exclusively on the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya.
The aircraft carrier Vikramaditya's usual home port is not here. This time it came here specifically to 'deterr' the Jieko Group and make them compromise on the issue of the Kra Isthmus Canal, and was deliberately deployed here.
It's just that the water depth of the military port in the Andaman Islands is average, just enough for the entry and exit of the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier. In order to prevent accidents, they need dredgers to deepen the river channel.
Boom! Whoosh!
Suddenly, Pammy, who was draining the water, heard a strange sound, and he looked over curiously.
This glance seemed like ten thousand years, and he saw in the night, long cylindrical sticks flying past him not far away at a height of several meters above the sea.
The thick cylindrical body, the semi-circular head, and the glow of the solid rocket motor tail flame were so eye-catching and terrifying.
With this shape, even an ignorant person would know that this is a missile, or an anti-ship missile flying across the sea to avoid radar capture.
Pammy's mouth slowly opened wide, and he shivered all over. The water spilled onto his pants without even realizing it, and he stared blankly at the missiles flying by.
After a while, he suddenly reacted and let out a horrified roar: "Guide missile, there are missiles!"
Like crazy, Pammy wanted to go to the ship boss to raise the alarm, but at this time, the piercing air defense siren also sounded throughout the military port.
Countless navy soldiers from Asan Kingdom were awakened from their sleep. Some people got up from the warship, some ran from the dock, and many of them looked confused.
"What happened? Why did the alarm sound in the middle of the night and prevent people from sleeping?"
"That bastard pressed the alarm randomly, and I must let him clean the toilet for a month."
"I'm so sleepy. Why haven't I turned off the alarm yet? How can I sleep if it's so noisy!"
These soldiers of the Asan Kingdom who had just woken up did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all. The Asan Kingdom had been in peace for a long time, and the war formations had been sparse for a long time.
If the Army still has some fighting to do, then the Navy has been idle for many years, and these naval soldiers have long forgotten what vigilance means.
But just when they were still confused, the Swordfish hypersonic anti-ship missile that arrived first had already arrived and entered the target area. The seeker automatically started searching and began to capture the target in the parameter settings.
The aircraft carrier Vikramaditya is the largest target in the military port and the easiest to be searched by radar. It also became the first victim. A Swordfish hypersonic anti-ship missile hit the waterline of the aircraft carrier.
The blunt high-hardness steel of the armor-piercing warhead rubs violently against the aircraft carrier's armor. Under the huge potential energy brought by several times the speed of sound, the blunt steel in front of the warhead tears the hull and plunges into the interior of the aircraft carrier.
In the central kitchen of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya, dozens of chefs who were busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the aircraft carrier personnel heard a loud noise.
The thick steel plate on the top made a harsh sound of twisting and tearing, and then a white cylindrical missile was stuck here, and the warhead was still flashing red light.
Each chef in the kitchen raised his head and saw the steaming anti-ship missiles. Their feet became weak and their bodies trembled. Some were so frightened that they even peed.
"Run"
When one of the chefs came to his senses, the delay fuse of the Swordfish anti-ship missile detonated just as a word was spoken.
Boom!
A horrific explosion occurred. The Swordfish anti-ship missile body was 10 meters long and weighed 8 tons, of which the semi-armor-piercing warhead weighed 900 kilograms.
When the 900-kilogram warhead detonates, the power is like putting a firecracker in a water bottle, and the water is blown out of the bottle mouth.
The entire Vikramaditya aircraft carrier arched high amidships, and dazzling fire and steel fragments spurted out from the midships. The huge shock wave generated by the explosion caused serious damage to the hull structure, and was penetrated below the waterline. A large amount of sea water surged wildly. enter.
The chefs and soldiers who were within the scope of the explosion were all killed in the explosion, and died horribly.
In the violent explosion, the soldiers resting on the aircraft carrier staggered around and suffered head injuries.
Because the detonation was in the middle and front of the aircraft carrier, the powerful impact force directly penetrated and tore the steel deck. The carrier-based aircraft neatly placed on the aircraft carrier deck were also destroyed in the violent explosion, and many were overturned by the shock wave into the sea. go.
Looking from a distance, the originally majestic Vikramaditya aircraft carrier had a huge gap with a diameter of more than ten meters on the deck. Fire was pouring out of the gap. There was also a gap on the right side of the aircraft carrier, and sea water continued to flow towards the ship. Infused into the body.
It was only then, after hearing the explosion and the dazzling fire, that the Asan Kingdom Navy in the military port finally understood that they had been attacked by the enemy.
But they knew it was too late at this time, because the Irrawaddy cruiser launched the missile dozens of kilometers away, and the distance was too close.
Although the three countries have also deployed anti-missile systems near military ports, it takes time for early warning radars to detect missiles, and then the data must be transmitted to fire control radars. The fire control radars are turned on to illuminate incoming missiles and guide their own anti-aircraft missiles to intercept them.
This process takes time, not to mention that the anti-ship missile flies sea-skimming, which greatly reduces the chance of being captured by radar.
The missiles launched dozens of kilometers away were too close and did not give the Asanguo anti-missile system time to defend. The anti-ship missiles were like powerful spear guns, breaking into the military port area and searching and capturing them independently. The goal was to dive into warships one after another and catch these big steel fish weighing tens of thousands of tons.
