Eastern Mediterranean.
The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the water, and the waves crashed against the huge hull, and the dark golden light seemed to cover the entire Mediterranean.
There were no waves on the calm sea, but the atmosphere of slaughter quickly spread throughout the sea, and the Russians suddenly showed their swords to the Americans a little unexpectedly, but with the accompanying Wasp-class amphibious assault ship in place, the Americans did not choose to defend passively this time, but kept approaching.
Different from the armed deterrence of the era of artillery and giant ships in the last century, modern warfare pays more attention to precision strikes and preemptive strikes; there is no huge cannon hole in the black hole, but relies on radar to lock on to the target at the first time, and the missile may rush towards the target at any time.
But this style of play is obviously not entirely suitable for the Peter the Great, which is known as a battle cruiser.
The twin 130 guns are capable of penetrating the armor of the Tikan-class cruisers, and the 20-round salvo SSN19 "Sandbox" anti-ship missiles are enough to severely damage or even sink any type of warship in the world, including aircraft carriers, including the Americans' Wasp-class amphibious assault ships.
So at the moment of being targeted by the fire control radar, war already seemed inevitable.
The other side.
On the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship on the starboard side of the cruiser Peter the Great, the American naval officer in charge of directing the interception was taken aback by the aggressive actions of the Russians, but quickly reacted and implemented countermeasures as soon as possible.
"Damn the Russians, immediately prepare for battle" "Let the Sea Hawk Take Off" With the huge roar of aero engines exploding on the deck.
More than a number of AV8B Harrier attack aircraft immediately took off from Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, and then carried out air maneuvering and protection in the nearby seas.
The cruiser Peter the Great is known as an arsenal ship, and the types and quantities of carrier-based attack weapons are frighteningly large, but the means of anti-ship are not sufficient, and most of the shipborne weapons are used for air defense, so the American aircraft was caught and targeted by fire control radars as soon as they took off.
Once the war starts, these guys will not be subject to a devastating saturation attack without any suspense.
"Crumb, I'm locked, damn it" "Hell, I'm locked up too" "Get rid of radar tracking right now, are those damn Russians really going to fight, Fack" Several extremely dangerous maneuvers in a row, but this did not help several Harrier attack aircraft, which had already risen into the air, to get rid of the sighting of the fire control radar.
For such an attack aircraft, which flies at subsonic speeds and can only carry out low-altitude strikes, the likelihood that the AV8B wants to get rid of the fire control radar is extremely low.
So after struggling for a while, the Americans had no choice but to let them return to the deck again.
Locked in the conference room and completely closed off information, Li Changjiang naturally did not know that the situation of the Russians was not as wishful as he imagined.
"Boss, how sure are you that you'll get what the Russians need?"
There was some doubt in the eyes of the Israelis.
They didn't know much about that inexplicable piece of information.
Although Li Changjiang had already told them the relevant information, only he knew exactly where the information was.
It didn't matter if they could get this information before, but now it was their life-saving thing, not only the Israelis, but also the doctors and keyboards.
If this thing can't be found at all, then sooner or later they will be killed by the Russians.
Li Changjiang didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows and gestured to the top of his head.
The crowd immediately understood, and then looked around.
Really.
Surveillance cameras were installed in all four corners of the conference room, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, and no one said anything about this mission, and then several people lay on the sofa and closed their eyes to recuperate.
The Peter the Great has a huge hull and is extremely stable on the sea, but after all, it is a ship, and the waves are together, and it will inevitably sway from side to side.
Coupled with the fatigue itself, the group quickly fell asleep.
Li Changjiang was undoubtedly the most tired one, the wound on his left chest consumed a lot of his physical strength, and if he hadn't been forced to hold on until now, he wouldn't even be able to open his eyelids.
The burden in his heart was suddenly put down, and he quickly fell asleep.
In fact, Li Changjiang is also very clear.
Since they have what the Russians need, the Russians will certainly not do anything to them until they get the information.
As for whether the Russians can bring themselves back from the Yankees, then they can only resign themselves to fate, and if even Maozi can't shelter him, then it is estimated that no one in the world can do it.
The people of the hunter mercenary group collectively entered a state of rest.
Outside, however, it became turbulent.
The Russians did nothing but turn on the search and fire control radars to lock the Americans onto the ground.
Compared to the composure of the Russians, the Americans were a little impatient this time.
Under pressure from the White House, the Pentagon gave a direct order to bring back that damn mercenary from the Russians at all costs.
Soon, though.
This order became a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the cruisers USS Monterey and USS Wasp.
"General, I refuse to carry out your order, the Russian cruiser Peter the Great is less than 30 kilometers in front of us to the left, hell, we are already locked, and if we try to attack them, we will have no chance of winning."
Panetta's face darkened.
Hell yes.
Those damn Russians would have intervened in this.

Actually, Panetta thought about it.
It's not that the Russians want to get involved in this matter, but that this matter was originally planned by the Russians, but Li Changjiang's hunter mercenary group accepts different people for employment.
The Black Sea Fleet is also a kind of mercenary of hunter mercenary groups to some extent, and the Russian Navy provides security for hunter mercenary groups, and their mission is to find what the Russians need.
Li Changjiang slept soundly.
Suddenly there was a sensation and an explosion.
Then the couch under him shook violently.
Then there was a bang.
Open your eyes.
Li Changjiang wanted to grab the gun by his side as soon as possible.
It was only when I caught it that I suddenly realized where I was now.
"Hell, what's going on" The guy on the keyboard was thrown directly to the carpet by the violent shaking just now, and he got up with a confused face, completely unaware of what was going on.
The roar still seems faintly audible.
Damn it It's the sound of cannons.
Soon, they heard the sound of artillery, where did the cannon sound come from on the sea, except for the large-caliber naval guns on the ship Some of them looked at each other in disdain, and a look of surprise flashed on their faces almost at the same time.
My God Could it be that the Russians really got into trouble with the Americans?
Fake What the hell If it's true, it's a nightmare The warship under their feet is very powerful, but this is the sea, and I am afraid that no one in this world will not know that the United States is the hegemon of this ocean. rumble A cannonball suddenly landed not far from the port side of the Peter the Great, and with a bang, it smashed a column of water more than ten meters high, and the shock wave directly pushed the huge hull several meters away.
The hull shook violently.
Li Changjiang sat on the sofa with an unsteady butt.
"What the hell" There was a big curse in his mouth.
And in the command compartment of the Peter the Great.
Terev's face was solemn.
The Americans actually ran away at them, although instead of locking them on, they hit the shells on the water not far away, but this was undoubtedly a provocation.
"Don't hit them in return fire, but let those damned Yankees know what we're fighting for."
The order is given.
Then the roaring cannons rang out again.
Both sides seem to like this kind of provocation that does not target the other but keeps firing artillery.
But the Russians seem to be getting angry.
"Order, rush straight ahead."
Terev suddenly gave a shocking order.
But no one questioned the correctness of this order.
The huge hull of the Peter the Great immediately rushed forward at full speed.
In the direction of the bow of the ship, it was the American cruiser Monterey.
