Chapter 359 is locked, but can’t be found
The moment they received the order, everyone on board the Changfeng felt an unprecedented sense of mission.
This is not just a cruise, but the dignity and future of the entire country rests on this ship.
When the "Changfeng" sailed out of the port, Li Yang stood on the bridge, looking into the distance with a firm gaze.
He knew that the upcoming battle would change the entire world.
At the same time, in the Pacific Ocean, the enemy's "Nimitz" aircraft carrier battle group was heading towards the coast at cruising speed. Fleet commander Rear Admiral John Smith stood on the bridge of the aircraft carrier with a proud smile on his face.
"Gentlemen," Smith said to the officers around him, "we are going to teach those yellow monkeys a lesson again. Let them see who is the real master of this sea."
The officers all laughed, they were used to this "routine". In their view, this was just another opportunity to show the powerful strength of the US Navy.
However, they did not know that a contest was quietly approaching.
When the Changfeng entered the designated sea area, Li Yang ordered the activation of the most advanced stealth system.
This system combines future stealth technology with current realities, and can greatly reduce the ship's radar cross-section and thermal radiation characteristics.
"Activate the phased array radar," Li Yang ordered, "search the entire frequency band."
Following his order, the phased array radar of the Changfeng began to operate at full power, searching every inch of space within hundreds of kilometers. Soon, the radar operator excitedly reported: "Target found! Azimuth 060, distance 320 nautical miles, large fleet, suspected enemy aircraft carrier battle group!"
Li Yang's eyes lit up, "Lock on the target and continue tracking."
While the Changfeng was locking onto the enemy fleet, the atmosphere on the Nimitz was still relaxed.
"Sir, we have entered the offshore area," a radar operator reported, "no abnormalities have been detected so far."
Major General Smith nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, stay alert. Get the fighters ready to take off, we are going to give those..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a shrill alarm.
"What's going on?" Smith asked sharply.
"Sir, we...we are locked!" The radar operator's voice was full of disbelief, "Multiple radar sources are locking on our fleet!"
Smith's face turned pale instantly. "How is it possible? Where is the enemy?"
"I don't know, sir!" the operator replied anxiously, "Our radar didn't detect any enemy ships!"
The bridge was in chaos. For an aircraft carrier battle group, being locked onto by an unknown enemy and unable to fight back was simply the worst nightmare.
"Initiate electronic countermeasures immediately!" Smith ordered, his voice trembling, "Activate all jamming systems!"
However, no matter how hard they tried, the feeling of being locked in always lingered. Even more terrifying was that their radar screens remained blank, as if the enemy locking on to them was a ghost.
At the same time, on the bridge of the Changfeng, Li Yang was calmly observing the development of the situation.
"They've discovered we've got them locked on," an officer reported, "and are attempting electronic countermeasures."
Li Yang smiled contemptuously. "Let them try. Our system is at least 30 years ahead of theirs, and their interference will have no effect on us."
As time went on, the situation of the enemy carrier battle group became worse and worse. Not only could they not get rid of the locked state, but they could not determine the location and number of the enemy. This invisible threat was more terrifying than any physical attack.
"Damn it!" Major General Smith cursed, his forehead covered with cold sweat, "Who is it? The Russians? No, it's impossible. Even the Russians can't have this kind of technology!"
The other officers of the fleet looked at each other, and no one could give a reasonable explanation. The technological advantage they were proud of disappeared at this moment, replaced by a deep fear and powerlessness.
"Sir, what should we do?" the adjutant asked cautiously.
Smith took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that in this situation, continuing to move forward would be tantamount to seeking death.
"We...we must retreat," he said with difficulty, frustration in his voice, "We cannot risk engaging an invisible enemy."
This order quickly spread throughout the fleet. When the enemy aircraft carrier battle group turned around and left, everyone felt an unprecedented shame. They, the most powerful naval force in the world, were actually scared away by an invisible enemy.
On the "Changfeng", Li Yang looked at the retreating trajectory of the enemy fleet shown on the radar screen and a victorious smile appeared on his face.
"Follow them," Li Yang ordered, "and keep them locked down until they completely leave our waters."
In this way, the powerful United States aircraft carrier battle group fled in embarrassment under an invisible and intangible threat, and the "Changfeng" was like an invisible ghost, always following closely behind.
When the enemy fleet finally left the Yan Kingdom's waters, the entire Changfeng erupted in warm cheers. Everyone knew that they had just made history.
Li Yang stood on the bridge, looking at the enemy fleet gradually disappearing in the distance, his heart filled with pride.
He knew that from this moment on, the world would change dramatically.
However, the shock brought about by this seemingly calm contest far exceeded everyone's imagination.
When the news of the embarrassing evacuation of the United States aircraft carrier battle group reached Hwaseong, the entire Pentagon fell into chaos.
The moment Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara received the report, he almost dropped his coffee cup.
"This is impossible!" McNamara roared, his face flushed. "You mean, our most advanced aircraft carrier battle group was scared off by an invisible enemy?"
"Yes, sir," the reporting officer lowered his head, his voice full of shame, "our fleet was locked by radar of unknown origin, but our equipment could not detect any enemy ships."
McNamara sat back down in his chair, a vein throbbing in his forehead.
Once this news gets out, it will deal a devastating blow to the United States' global strategy.
"Convene an emergency meeting immediately," he said in a deep voice, "I want to know what happened and who has the ability to deal with our aircraft carriers?"
……
Soon, the top leaders of the Pentagon gathered together, and everyone's face was filled with shock and worry.
"According to preliminary analysis," the head of the intelligence department said tremblingly, "this is most likely the work of the Yan people. We recently received intelligence that they seem to be secretly developing a new type of ship."
"Yan people?" a general sneered, "Impossible! How could their technology level surpass ours?"
However, as more details were revealed, everyone had to face a terrible fact: Yan Country's naval technology may have surpassed that of the United States in some aspects.
"This will completely change the global strategic landscape," McNamara said solemnly, "If Yanguo really possesses this technology, our advantage in the Western Pacific will no longer exist."
The conference room fell into a dead silence. Everyone realized that they might be facing the most serious challenge since World War II.
"We must take immediate action," the President's national security adviser finally broke the silence, "to strengthen intelligence collection and comprehensively assess the military strength of Yan. At the same time, we need to speed up the research and development of new technologies and not let the Yan people get too far ahead of us."
McNamara nodded, his eyes flashing with determination, "Gentlemen, we are facing the beginning of a new era. From now on, Yan will become our primary concern. We must do everything we can to maintain the United States' global leadership."
As the attendees left one after another, McNamara stood alone at the window, gazing into the distance. He knew that from this moment on, the balance of power in the world had quietly changed. The United States was no longer the undisputed superpower, and a new challenger had appeared on the horizon.
……
At the same time, in the K Palace in Mo City, Maozi also received this shocking news.
"You mean, the Yan people scared off the US aircraft carrier?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes, comrade," the head of the intelligence department replied, "According to our information, Yan Country seems to have mastered some advanced stealth technology."
He fell into deep thought. He knew that this news was both an opportunity and a challenge for Maozi.
"We have to reassess our policy toward Yan," he concluded. "Perhaps, we should consider establishing a closer cooperative relationship with them."
In this way, a seemingly calm battle at sea completely changed the political landscape of the entire world. The advantage of the United States was challenged as never before, Russia began to reconsider its policies, and the United States announced its rise in a shocking way.
When the Changfeng returned triumphantly, the whole country was immersed in the joy of victory. Li Yang stood on the deck, looking at the welcoming crowd, his heart full of pride and expectation. He knew that this was just the beginning. In the years to come, there will be more challenges waiting for them. But at this moment, he firmly believed that as long as he insisted on his own path, Yan State would eventually stand among the world's powerful countries.
As night fell, the Changfeng anchored in the port and the crew began routine maintenance work. Li Yang stood alone on the bridge, looking back on this thrilling operation. He knew that this success was not only a technical victory, but also a manifestation of the will of the entire country.
At this moment, Zhang Guoqiang ran up in a hurry, "Engineer Li, the superior called!"
Li Yang picked up the phone, and a calm but excited voice came from the receiver, "Comrade Li, well done! Your actions not only shocked the American people, but also let the whole world see our strength. The country has decided to increase investment in the navy, and we want to build a true blue-water navy!"
Li Yang's heartbeat quickened. He knew that this meant greater opportunities and challenges. "Please rest assured, leaders," he said firmly, "We will definitely live up to our mission and contribute to the country's dream of becoming a maritime power."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yang looked toward the distant horizon. In the night, the sea was sparkling, as if telling of endless possibilities. He knew that the rise of Yan Country had just begun, and he would continue to play this key role and lead this ancient oriental country to new glory.
"The future," Li Yang said softly, his voice full of determination and expectation, "belongs to us."
