Chapter 1261: The 2 Habitat Fleets Deploy
In the theater command center of the Second Amphibious Fleet Command, Sha Yiqi sits at the top of the command.
On the side are a group of staff officers of the Second Amphibious Fleet, and standing next to Sha Yiqi is a brigadier general who is also the commander of the Second Amphibious Fleet.
"Jiang Peng, how is the fleet getting ready?" Sha Yiqi asked the brigadier beside him while looking at the augmented reality projection of the outside of the warship.
Brigadier General Lin Jiangpeng (guest star of the book friend's real name) glanced at the time on his watch and reported: "Report to the general, in ten minutes, we can leave on time."
"Then prepare according to the original plan." Sha Yiqi glanced at the timetable and ordered.
It was midnight at this moment, and all the workers and residents in the industrial area had already fallen asleep.
The vicinity of the shipyard was also checked, and it was confirmed that there would be no eyeliner.
Under the night, more than a dozen gates of the shipyard that had never been opened were all opened silently. The valves on the aqueducts of the dry dock of the shipyard were opened, and a large amount of seawater poured into the dry dock.
The warships in the dry dock began to float up under the seawater, and the propellers of the magnetic drive motors in the power compartments of all warships started to run.
The benefits of electric propulsion are immediately apparent at this moment. Taking the Aegis ship as an example, if traditional power is used and the drive shaft drives the propeller, the power output at the start is difficult to control.
Therefore, in the bay, large ships are not allowed to rely on their own power system to advance, otherwise the speed has climbed up, braking is difficult to control, and they may run aground or hit the dock.
The all-electric propulsion system can completely control the horsepower output of the power system.
The Aegis cruiser uses two-shaft propulsion, and its maximum output can reach 110,000 horsepower, which can drive the warship to maintain a high speed of 34 knots.
Similarly, warships can also move forward with extremely low horsepower output. This way of advancing can better clear mines or reduce sonar signals, and of course it can also slowly drive away from the dock.
But even so, it still needs to have very superb control skills, otherwise it is all nonsense.
At this time, all the dry docks were filled with water, and the warship was also separated from the fixtures on the dry docks.
The draft of the ship was completed, the power system was output, and the warship slowly left the shipyard at a speed of less than two knots and entered the bay of Tartus.
Even the two amphibious assault ships with a full load displacement of more than 40,000 tons slowly left the dock and entered the bay by themselves.
Although the two amphibious assault ships do not use magnetic power systems, they also use all-electric propulsion, which greatly saves the space in the cabin and increases the space for fuel loading and drive shafts. Compared with ordinary amphibious assault ships , with a larger cabin space.
All the warships leaving the shipyard have been blacked out, and all active radars on each warship are also in a shutdown state.
Only the passive warning radar is still in operation, and the communication is all using short-wave signals, and the satellite information sending and receiving function has also turned off the signal channel.
The fleet left the Gulf silently, followed the Syrian coastline directly, did not directly leave Syrian territorial waters, and then headed south at full speed.
The fleet that left the Gulf immediately increased its speed to 30 knots, taking advantage of the darkness of the second half of the night, approaching the waters of Israel.
On the calm sea, the fleet advanced silently.
On the target of the fleet, the Air Force of the Red Police Corps also began to carry out the most intensive air strikes on Tel Aviv.
At the port of Tel Aviv, not a single merchant ship dared to dock, and the ships of various countries transporting various supplies were all hovering far outside Israel's territorial waters of twelve nautical miles.
There are international waters, and they don't worry about the fighter jets of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, and dare to attack ships from various countries in international waters.
But once it enters into Israel's territorial waters, if it really attacks, it will be a mistaken injury at most.
Then it's a simple apology.
Therefore, these merchant ships are all very smart, waiting for the bombing to end before docking to unload their cargo.
It's just that today, the bombing of the Iraq-Syria Federation seems a bit unusual. The continuous air strikes have not stopped for a moment.
A large number of warehouses and military facilities throughout the port and surrounding areas have all been under intensive attack.
The air defense forces on the ground will be destroyed as soon as they show up.
Tel Aviv, which was supposed to be the largest city in Israel in the rear, has turned the entire coastline into a sea of flames.
At this time, Netanyahu, who was far away in Beit Shemesh, also received this unusual bombing intelligence.
Lieberman, who also received the news, also hurried to Netanyahu's headquarters and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the bombing situation in Tel Aviv is very likely to be artillery preparations before landing."
Netanyahu also guessed it, but war does not rely on guesswork. Any analysis of the enemy's situation also needs to be based on sufficient intelligence information.
"Watching intelligence ships off the coast of Syria, any news," Netanyahu asked.
The Israeli high-level can fully imagine the encirclement strategy that the Iraqi-Syrian Federation may adopt, and landing on the coastal cities of Israel is the most effective way.
However, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation had no fleet active in the Mediterranean Sea before, which made the Israeli high-level officials a little worried and worried.
I am particularly worried about those shipyards in the future industrial zone in Syria, because the Future Technology Group has already demonstrated the ability to launch a warship and sail immediately.
Maybe the group of lunatics from the Future Science and Technology Group really installed all the combat equipment, outfitting and various weapons and equipment of the warship in the shipyard, and then put aside the steps of sea trials and went directly into the water to participate in the battle.
Israel believes that with Cai Ruichen's courage and the industrial technology of Future Technology Group, it is completely possible to reach this level.
In addition, the sea distance between the two sides is too close. If the Iraqi-Syrian Federation really engages in such a sneak attack, it will be difficult for Israel to guard against it.
Therefore, Israel has also prepared a lot of ships, which are active in the waters outside Syria every day to monitor whether there are warships that suddenly appear.
It's just that there has been no effective information.
Lieberman shook his head and said, "There is no news from the monitoring ships, and the bombing by the ISF does not seem like a bluff."
"But this may be a tentative attack specially carried out by the other side to draw out our defensive deployment." Netanyahu said with some concern. (To be continued.)
