Chapter 125: Young Dragon Descends
In space, ten Star Transport Industrial Ships went full throttle, completing the capture of the GP4 satellite in low orbit within just 20 minutes.
Unlike the GP4 satellites in high orbit, low orbit satellites have more precise positioning and navigation capabilities, and generally, satellites in this orbit are under military control.
The excitement on the faces of the Space Force members could not be suppressed at all.
This was their first time truly taking action against a United States military target.
Moreover, they knew even better that after capturing these satellites, the entire United States military positioning system would completely become a joke.
From now on, if they wanted to use a positioning system, they would have to rely on Great Xia’s positioning system.
However, by then, control would be completely in Great Xia’s hands.
In the Space Hub, Fan Ren watched this scene and couldn’t help but laugh.
This directly blinded the opponent, and no matter how things developed afterward, the impact would be extremely limited.
To say something without exaggeration, from now on, the United States intercontinental missiles would completely lose their effectiveness.
He was also truly a bit puzzled.
Did that President Wells really have no clear cognition at all about the gap between Great Xia and the United States today?
“Report, Young Dragon dual-aircraft formation has arrived 100 kilometers above the designated airspace. Should we proceed into the atmosphere?”
Hearing this news, Liu Shengzhan visibly showed a cold smile on his face.
“Order, Young Dragon dual-aircraft formation immediately fly to patrol and standby over the Joint Fleet!”
Hearing this order, Fan Ren helplessly shook his head.
This thick-browed, big-eyed Commander Liu was also a bad guy.
Due to its excessive mass and lack of aerodynamic layout design, the Young Dragon Spaceship’s cruising speed in the atmosphere was at least super high speed of 20 Mach.
Otherwise, it would be unable to maintain a certain altitude.
Having these two spaceships patrol over the opponent’s head at this speed was purely absolute strength deterrence.
How to fight 20 Mach? Air-to-air missiles were considered fast, but even so, their flight speed was only around 5 Mach.
In short, at the current stage of humanity, no air-to-air missile could catch up to the Young Dragon Spaceship cruising in the atmosphere.
On the contrary, the various missile models in the belly of the Young Dragon were not for show.
The Young Dragon could approach near the Joint Fleet without any threat to itself, freely aiming at targets and launching corresponding missiles.
“Yes!”
After two acknowledgments came through, Fan Ren watched the footage from the Young Dragon Spaceship with curiosity.
Joint Fleet command room.
Auro’s palms were sweating.
The two fighter jets from Australia had already been shot down, and he had learned of this news.
But the current problem was even more serious.
The entire fleet’s satellite navigation systems had failed just a few minutes ago.
The only navigation system currently usable was the GP4 satellite system in higher orbit, planned for civilian domains.
But this thing was completely unreliable for military use.
An error of nearly ten meters could easily cause a ‘traffic accident’.
“All fighter jets immediately return to circle over the fleet and await landing orders from fleet commanders in sequence.”
At this moment, he couldn’t care about what the remaining 8 fighter jets were planning to do.
Right now, his top priority was to safely direct the dozens of fighter jets overhead to land on the aircraft carriers one by one.
Otherwise, if delayed further, he feared that even the civilian-altitude GP4 satellites would fail, and then there would really be no way to safely direct these fighter jets to land.
200 nautical miles to the east in the sky.
The two Great Xia fighter jets that had previously fired and shot down the Australian airplanes were rapidly heading toward the Joint Fleet.
Not far behind them, the remaining carrier-based aircraft from Great Xia had already taken off and followed.
The 8 aircraft ahead had already begun returning, but unsure of the situation, as the first fighter jet pilots to take off, they must approach closely to observe and promptly report the situation in that airspace to the command headquarters.
“Look! What is that thing!”
The wingman let out an exclamation, and the captain’s first reaction upon hearing it was to bank the airplane sideways, turning his gaze toward the sea below.
He thought the wingman wanted him to look at the shot-down Australian airplane.
But obviously, there was nothing over the sea surface.
“Captain, in the sky! Dead ahead!”
The wingman hurriedly corrected his posture, his tone full of astonishment.
Hearing this, the captain quickly straightened the airplane and looked up, momentarily shocked speechless by the scene in the sky that resembled a falling meteor.
“This is Young Dragon One, affiliated with Great Xia Space Force 24-hour combat duty unit. Comrades, that was beautifully done!”
A loud congratulatory voice rang out in the communication system.
At this time, the captain had already learned from the friend-or-foe identification system the origins of the two ‘monsters’ still descending above.
Besides astonishment, he couldn’t find any better words to describe them.
Over 30 meters in length, black coating, paired with its two protruding ship prows, and various irregular protrusions on the hull with missile launch ports.
It gave a feeling of the purest shock.
“Comrades, too cool! You must be the Space Force selected through the military headquarters aerospace program. Too cool.”
The wingman’s pilot was obviously young, and at this moment, his tone was so excited that he could hardly contain his emotions.
“Young Dragon, this is Great Xia Navy carrier-based aircraft unit. I am now planning to go to the airspace over the Joint Fleet to probe the opponent’s current movements. Does your unit have any tasks coming up that need our assistance?”
Although the captain was also excited, he restrained himself; the mission was urgent now.
“Hello, our unit is ordered to take over your remaining mission and will head to the airspace over the Joint Fleet for deterrence.”
At this moment, the captain also received the order from the aircraft carrier to return.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief.
He and his wingman had just shot down two White Alliance fighter jets; although the warplanes belonged to Australia, they were still allies of the opponent’s Joint Fleet no matter what.
It was too dangerous for their two fighter jets to fly over for close reconnaissance like this.
But immediately after, looking at these two clearly expensive Young Dragons, he hesitated.
“Young Dragon, hello. Do you need our two fighter jets to provide cover for you?”
His tone was somewhat concerned, after all, he knew nothing about the Young Dragon’s performance.
“Hello, thank you for your concern. Your unit can return. The next mission poses no threat to the Young Dragon.”
An extremely confident reply came through the microphone.
Immediately after, the tails of the two Young Dragons ejected thick plasma tail flames.
The two massive objects instantly halted their descent and then rapidly shot forward in his gaze.
The agile maneuver contrasted sharply with their clumsy hulls.
“Too fierce, Captain. When I get back, I want to apply for the Space Force too. I”
Seeing this scene, the wingman was completely and utterly thrilled.
Hearing this, the captain’s mood also surged with excitement.
How could he not want to as well?
