Chapter 123: Might Not Be Able To Give
At the Space Hub, following Liu Shengzhan’s order.
Just recently, the newly modified Star Transport Industrial Ship was slowly departing from the port.
The current Space Hub Port had already been constructed, a large space port capable of simultaneously accommodating hundreds of Spaceships.
With a configuration of 2 operators per ship, the ten Star Transport Industrial Ships here occupied 20 quota spots for the Space Force.
Every time Liu Shengzhan thought of this, he felt a bit tense.
With the rapid development of Great Xia’s Aerospace Industry, not only did the Space Hub here require a large number of Space Force personnel with Aerospace Capability to handle various tasks, but Spaceship Piloting between Earth and the Moon also required a batch of Space Force personnel.
Even the Space Hub on the Moon required dozens of Space Force personnel for security tasks.
As for the expanded Guanghan Palace on the Moon, it was the same.
The initial 200 Space Force personnel had long been fully allocated to various positions.
And once the space Dock was completed in the future, after large batches of various Spaceships entered Service, he did not know if the Astronauts trained by the Military Headquarters could keep up with the demand.
The departing Star Transport Industrial Ship continuously ejected white gas around it, adjusting the Hull’s direction.
After reaching a safe distance, the pilots all pushed the Thrust Levers in their Cockpits to the maximum, as if they had been holding back, scattering in all directions without looking back.
Over this period, they had trained the salvage operations of the Star Transport Industrial Ship to perfection through repeated drills.
Now that the opportunity had finally come, how could they suppress their excited mood.
In the Hub Command Headquarters, after issuing the order, Liu Shengzhan contacted Li Jiandong and informed him of the upcoming Cleansing Operation here.
Li Jiandong was also very excited; this way, Great Xia’s Global Positioning System would essentially have a monopoly.
Even without launching paid services, with Great Xia’s exclusive Monopoly status, it could occupy certain advantages in countless Cooperation Projects.
The intangible benefits this brought were extremely considerable.
Pacific Ocean, White Alliance Joint Fleet.
Auro stood in the Command Room, with one after another of the United States’ fifth-generation Fighters taking off from the Deck below.
Only when seeing this scene could the shock brought to Auro by the Young Dragon Spaceship be slightly alleviated.
Dual Aircraft Carrier Group, plus two Aircraft Carriers from other White Alliance Forces participating in the Exercise, a total of four Aircraft Carriers.
In just one hour, more than 50 sorties of Carrier-based Aircraft had taken off.
The entire Fleet’s operations flowed smoothly under his Command, with perfect coordination between the Ships without any delay.
The accompanying Reporters hurriedly took out their Cameras, excitedly recording the rare grand scene and transmitting it live back to Headquarters for broadcast.
“Report to the Commander, Great Xia Dual Aircraft Carrier Group has stopped 400 nautical miles ahead of us, currently with no other movements.”
The Adjutant ran forward and reported this extremely good news to Auro.
Upon hearing this, Auro even secretly thanked that Great Xia Military Marshal in his heart.
As long as he performed well in this Exercise, his future memoir would not stint on words of praise for that Marshal.
This was the reciprocity that Great Xia spoke of.
“Officer, what’s going on with those two Fighter Jets?”
The Adjutant’s puzzled voice interrupted Auro’s reverie; he looked toward the Radar, and his brows furrowed.
On the Radar Map, in the Fighter Formation that had originally been flying in Formation above the Fleet’s airspace, two Airplanes had detached from the main Formation at this moment and were moving eastward.
Auro felt an inexplicable unease in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward two steps, picked up the microphone, and shouted: “Number XX, your two Airplanes immediately turn around, damn it! Don’t your South Australia pilots even have the ability to follow the Formation?”
During this time, the model of those two detached Airplanes and the information on their affiliated Force had been pulled up by the operator.
The relevant information showed that the pilots flying these two Fighter Jets were from South Australia.
South Australia did not have an Aircraft Carrier.
But due to this Joint Exercise, they had a certain number of Airplanes conducting takeoff and landing Exercise subjects on their Aircraft Carriers.
After Auro angrily cursed, there was no response from the other side on the intercom.
He watched the two Airplanes gradually receding into the distance, the unease in his heart growing stronger.
And at this moment, several more Fighter Jets detached from the main Fighter Formation in the main force, their noses pointing toward the Great Xia Dual Aircraft Carrier Group in the east.
“Report, enemy Fighter Formation has 10 sorties of Fighter Jets approaching our Fleet at high speed, expected to arrive in 10 minutes.”
This information was directly transmitted to the Space Hub Command Headquarters.
Liu Shengzhan’s brows furrowed; he knew Auro’s purpose very well.
Precisely because of this, he could guess that the other side would absolutely not take any extreme actions.
Thinking about this in his mind, he did not hesitate and directly issued the order.
“Order, Aircraft Carrier Group immediately activate air defense contingency plan, simultaneously equip live ammunition on combat Fighter Jets and launch them to drive away the opponent.”
After a pause, Liu Shengzhan did not stop.
“Order, Young Dragon One, Young Dragon Two immediately depart port, proceed at full speed to the area and await orders.”
After conveying the orders, Liu Shengzhan still felt it was a bit unsafe, so he picked up the Telephone and dialed Elder Ye.
“It’s Liu Shengzhan, what’s the matter calling to disturb this old man so late at night?”
The Telephone was quickly answered, and Elder Ye on the other end, in a very good mood recently, joked along.
“Elder Ye, the White Alliance Joint Fleet is 100 nautical miles inside the area I designated, but just now, ten Fighter Jets detached from their Fighter Formation and are speeding toward our Fleet.”
Liu Shengzhan did not delay and quickly explained the current situation; although he had certain authority, involving potential firing situations still required absolute caution.
Elder Ye was silent for a few seconds before calmly replying: “Has the emergency contingency plan been activated?”
“It has been activated; our Carrier-based Aircraft are urgently taking off. The Fleet’s Air Defense Network has always been operational.”
“Issue a Warning, immediately drive away the enemy Airplanes; in emergencies, you are permitted to take all necessary actions.”
“Yes, Elder Ye.”
After hanging up the Telephone, Liu Shengzhan breathed a sigh of relief.
With Elder Ye’s words, he had no more concerns in his subsequent Command.
On the Sea Surface, Great Xia’s two Aircraft Carriers reacted extremely swiftly.
At the catapults on the Deck, Fighter Jets were already on full-time standby; with the order given, two streamlined Fighter Jets were propelled simultaneously toward the sea surface by the electromagnetic catapults.
Meanwhile, the surrounding Frigates and Destroyers had their shipborne air defense Radars locked dead on the Fighter Jets rapidly approaching from the west.
At present, when Great Xia’s Aircraft Carrier Group’s Air Defense Network was fully deployed, it was fully capable of ensuring not even a mosquito could pass overhead within nearly a thousand nautical miles.
