"Besides, isn't our CIeiuxi already completed? It's time to take it out for a walk around..."
Crittailing dragon head
As Qin Shanshan mentioned this name, a faint hint of surprise crossed the eyes of Qiao Zhenhui and the others.
Crittail, one of the nine sons of dragons in the dragon village mythological legend!
Of course, the "Crittail" Qiao Zhenhai is referring to now is not the Crittail from mythology, but rather the "Crittail" that attacks submarines!
Over a year ago, after acquiring the technology for the Qianye sightseeing submarine from Su Heng, they teamed up with people under Su Heng to jointly develop two types of submarines based on the Qianye's modification.
The Crittail submarine attack submarine is one of them!
As for the other, it is a strategic submarine with the code name "Bixi"...
Crittail attack submarine, fully electric propulsion without axle pump jet, maximum range of 12,000 kilometers, underwater full load displacement of 13,000 tons, equipped with eight torpedo tubes and twelve missile launch wells.
Fully loaded, it can carry 100 torpedoes and 12 submarine-launched ballistic missiles!
It took over a year, and the first batch of eight Crittail attack submarines have been completed!
"Old Qiao, the Crittail has just been completed, and it was only last week when the sea trial was completed. Now it's time to take it out for a test run. Is that appropriate?"
At this moment, when Qin Shan and the others were pondering different thoughts, Qian Zhizhong's voice quietly echoed.
When asked, Qiao Zhenhui did not respond directly.
He just looked at Qin Shan and said: "Old Qin, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan smiled and immediately replied, "Of course it's appropriate! We were planning to start the second round of oceanic sea trials, and this time it's a good opportunity to train our forces..."
Is it suitable?
As the commander of the navy, Qin Shan's understanding of Crittail is much deeper than anyone else here.
No one knows the power of Crittail as well as he does!
For the first sea trial, to verify the Quan'yin's stealth ability, they specifically arranged destroyers and various special detection devices for round-the-clock detection in all areas where the Quan'yin could pass.
But in the end, they didn't find anything.
Even later, they directly disclosed the specific location information of the Crittail to the personnel responsible for the detection.
However, even then, the destroyers deployed along the Crittail's navigation route couldn't find any trace of it!
It wasn't until the Crittail got so close to a destroyer that it was practically right under its nose, less than 500 meters away, that the crew on board detected its existence through active sonar.
The tourist submarine with a displacement of 18,000 tons that Su Heng had previously designed already achieved a near-invisible underwater noise level, which was almost able to evade all existing passive sonar detection devices!
That was just a sightseeing submarine!
Now their Crittail, based on Su Heng's technology, is an attack submarine upgraded and modified from the Qianye sightseeing submarine.
It's not just that it carries weapons and has increased speed; more importantly, the Crittail's underwater stealth capability is even stronger than the Qianye sightseeing submarine!
Frankly speaking, the current Crittail is a true underwater ghost!
Imagine, 500 meters of distance, knowing the exact location of Crittail, only to discover it through active sonar. What does this mean?
Five hundred meters may sound like a long distance, but in modern battlefields, that's a distance that can be reached by a standard assault rifle!
Underwater, if an enemy sub really gets close to that distance, you might have already had three feet of grass on your grave!
This distance, a single torpedo fired, you don't even have a chance to react!
With such terrifying performance from the Crittail, what else do they need to worry about?
Moreover, even if we exclude the absurd stealth capabilities of the Crittail, just its weapons loadout is enough to give them a 100% confidence!
The torpedoes on the Crittail are the same type of supercavitation torpedoes that were publicly demonstrated in joint exercises with villages such as Long Village and Polar Bear Village.
CQ-2 type supercavitation torpedo, with a maximum underwater speed of 80 knots, a maximum range of 50 kilometers, and a maximum diving depth of 800 meters!
Of course, when they publicized the data of this torpedo during the joint exercises, the maximum speed of this torpedo was only 60 knots.
Eighty knot speed, fifty kilometer range, such a performance torpedo, who can withstand it?
I can strike you accurately from 50 kilometers away, and you'll only realize my torpedo has arrived at your face!
Then with an underwater speed of 80 knots, how can you react?
CQ-2 type supercavitation torpedo is not an old-style torpedo like the S2 era torpedo, which was used to charge on the water surface. Once detected, it could be intercepted and detonated in advance before it gets close to the ship using shipboard artillery or even machine guns.
But the CQ-2 type supercavitation torpedo is different; from its launch to hitting the target, the CQ-2 type supercavitation torpedo remains underwater throughout!
Even if you discover it, there is no way to intercept it!
The only thing you can do is to abandon the ship and run away before the torpedo hits the vessel!
Seeing that Qin Shan, the naval commander, had no objections, and the other naval commanders beside him were similarly silent, Qian Zhizhong did not say anything more.
"Then let's do as Zhao Qian said. The ground matters will be handled by the camels themselves, and we will handle the underwater matters. Since Black-White Eagle dared to move Su's things, let them all return the original price!"
……
The matter involves Su Heng.
The action from the Long Village side this time was very fast.
In just one day, the plan devised by Qiao Zhenhui and his team was approved directly.
Then, on a dark night, within the Longyu Base, eight grey great black fish quietly disappeared beneath the surface of the water.
At the same time, on the airport of Longcun Tianfu, large numbers of Y1000 transport planes were directly taking off towards the desert.
…………
"Great! Excellent!"
In the desert, at the command center of Camel’s Union, holding the phone, Modarael, both hands and his whole body trembled slightly!
One after another, words that he couldn't help saying spilled out of his mouth.
"What's wrong, Your Royal Highness?"
Looking at the uncontrollable appearance of Modarael, the other camel commanders beside him were somewhat bewildered.
Just now, their Prince received a phone call and then turned into this state.
For a moment, everyone was worried. Now Modarael is not only the pillar of the Sand Camels, but also the core of the entire Desert Alliance!
Everyone is well aware that to win this war, they, the desert, can rely on only one thing: Long Village!
And Modarael is the bridge between them and Long Village!
If Modarael were to have a problem, then they might fall into an unprecedentedly terrible situation!
Under the concerned gazes of the crowd, Modarael didn't say much, but directly stated:
"Pass my order! Immediately clear out Airports One, Two, Three, and Five. All personnel at the airports must enter into level one combat readiness!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
And those who knew the insides of these airports were all shocked.
Following that, a look of joy that couldn't be concealed automatically appeared on their faces:
"Prince, our pilots are coming back?"
Pilot?
Upon hearing this word, the other camel commanders who were still somewhat confused also snapped back to their senses.
They all immediately revealed thicker-than-thick joyful colors on their faces!
The people who could enter here were undoubtedly the core commanders of the camels.
Therefore, they all had some knowledge about the "pilots."
Previously, they had also wanted to send out those Jian Twenty Fighters that they had purchased with great cost from Long Village.
Especially after Black-White Eagle launched their Raptor Fighters, they were even more eager to have Jian Twenty out.
However, every time such a request was made, it was rejected by Modarael and another camel commander.
The reasons were all the same. The pilots who were sent to Long Village for training had not yet completed their training, and without training completed, no one could operate Jian Twenty.
Jian Twenty naturally couldn't take part in the battle.
Now, these pilots are finally returning?
"Yes!" Facing the surprised gazes of the crowd, Modarael also nodded enthusiastically with a full face of joy. "Just now, I received a message from Long Village. The elite pilots that we arranged to go to Long Village for training have all completed their training and have already returned to the desert in accordance with Long Village's arrangement on board Long Village's transport planes. They are expected to arrive tomorrow morning at five o'clock..."
Upon hearing this, the surprise on everyone's faces grew even more intense!
"Great! Excellent!"
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but burst out the same excited voices.
The return of these pilots means that the Jian Twenty that they had stored for months will finally be put into use!
This also means that they won't have to worry about the Raptor Fighters from Black-White Eagle Village anymore!
In the past few days, since the Raptor Fighters from Black-White Eagle Village joined the battle, their absolute air superiority on the Squid side had almost been overturned!
Both Tianlong and Yinglong planes are very advanced. In addition to the high-speed supersonic air-to-air missiles mounted on the planes, Tianlong and Yinglong can easily overwhelm fourth-generation aircraft from other forces!
As for those below the fourth generation, it's even more unnecessary to say.
As long as they see Tianlong and Yinglong, those fighter planes won't even dare to show their heads!
However, no matter how advanced Tianlong and Yinglong are, even if they have been universally classified as fourth-generation and a half aircraft on Blue Star, they are still fourth-generation aircraft. Whether it's fourth generation or fourth-generation and a half, they are still fourth-generation aircraft!
When facing fifth-generation stealth fighters, neither Tianlong nor Yinglong can do anything to them.
In the previous engagements, they not only failed to gain an advantage over the Raptors but also suffered a loss of over 20 Yinglong and Tianlong fighter planes!
Even if the missiles of the Raptors are not as advanced as theirs.
Even if their missiles can attack the Raptors well beyond their range.
But the Raptors are stealth fighters and can use their stealth capabilities to approach within the range of their missiles, even into the no-escape zone of the AIM-120D air-to-air missile, to attack their planes!
They cannot lock onto the Raptors and hit them, but the Raptors can lock onto them and hit them.
This not only caused them significant losses, but also left them deeply humiliated!
Even more so, after seeing that the Raptors had gained the upper hand, those Black and White Eagle fourth-generation and even third-generation fighters, which were previously too afraid to show their heads in front of Tianlong and Yinglong, dared to appear in front of them.
Even the bombing planes of Black and White Eagle Village dared to appear on the battlefield!
And each time these fighters and bombers appeared, they were always accompanied by Raptors!
If their planes dared to attack these planes, the Raptors would undoubtedly pounce on them!
Each time they were bitten, they had to take a significant loss!
One after another losses, even they, the rich dogs, were quite upset.
Not because they were feeling sorry for the expensive fighter jets, but because they were feeling sorry for the fighter jets themselves.
The Tianlong and Yinglong planes they have in their hands are bought, and now Long Village cannot sell them planes openly. So, from this aspect, every loss of a plane means that one less is available!
And the pilots are also, those who can drive these top fighter jets are their elite pilots.
These pilots are even more precious than the fighter jets. The loss of each one can cause them considerable pain for a long time!
However painful it is, they still have to go out to fight.
Otherwise, without the control of fighter jets, the Black and White Eagle Village's fighters and bombers would only be even more reckless. Their ground forces' losses would only become even more severe!
Now, after enduring so much frustration, they finally see a glimmer of hope!
After a long time, the people from the Sand Camels regained their composure and immediately communicated the message brought by Modarael to the others.
With Modarael's command, the four hidden airports directly turned on their large lights that had not been used for a long time.
One by one, the ground crew members began to move continuously.
One by one, the Jian Twenty planes, which had been hidden in the mountains, began to be stripped of their outer clothing, revealing the silver-grey bodies with a sense of metallic texture.
…………
Just as the Jian Twenty planes in the desert were about to take to the skies.
On the other side, Black and White Eagle Village——
"What's the situation in the desert?"
In Yarst's office, Yarst leisurely sipped a mouthful of his specially prepared top-grade coffee before speaking slowly.
Facing the question, Preston, Yarst's trusted aide, directly answered:
"Everything is going smoothly. With the Raptors involved, the Sand Camels' warplanes are no match for us, and we can even let ordinary bombers participate in the battlefield…"
"Oh?" Hearing the response from his aide Preston, Yarst's already good mood became even more relaxed.
The coffee that was originally slightly bitter in his mouth became incredibly sweet at this moment.
Unlike the daily news of failure, failure, and failure again before.
The news of the past month was what the Black and White Eagle Village should hear, and what Yarst should hear.
"Have the conditions we offer to the Sand Camels been responded to yet?"
After a long time, Yarst took another sip of the coffee in his hand, relishing the taste as it spread in his mouth for a long time before he spoke again.
The conditions were naturally proposed by the Black and White Eagle side, demanding that the Sand Camels withdraw from the Squid Village, publicly admit their actions as a threat to the peace and stability of Blue Star and apologize, and at the same time, compensate them for damages to their Black and White Eagle Village, Squid Village, and other villages!
Of course, in addition to the apology and compensation, they also demanded that the Sand Camels hand over all the instigators of this war, such as Modarael and others!
Let these people be tried in the Blue Star Judicial Court!
They wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, letting the entire Blue Star know the consequences of offending their Black and White Eagle Village!
"No, not yet." In response to the question, Preston slightly shook his head. "The Sand Camels have not accepted our conditions at all and maintain their previous attitude, demanding that we apologize for attacking their civilian facilities and compensate them, while also demanding that the Husky Village immediately abandon its support for us or they will carry out an equivalent counterattack on Husky as planned!"
"Equivalent counterattack?" Upon hearing Preston's voice, Yarst scornfully pursed his lips. "It seems we haven't been able to intimidate them enough!"
Laughing coldly, Yarst coldly said, "Since they are not prepared to bow their heads, we will add more fuel to the fire and break their backs and knees!"
