Seats: Are American twin aircraft carriers real tigers or paper tigers?

Hello, netizens. In the last issue, I told you the fact that two aircraft carriers entered the South China Sea. Today is related to this topic, but the focus is on how the United States conducts a deterrent show. This is a word I created, deterrence show. This is the first time I said it, and I suddenly thought of such a word.

This is the case. Recently, some ships of the US Third Fleet have been strengthened to the protected areas of the Seventh Fleet. The Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet joined forces to strike hard and deter China. The other is that the US Reagan and Stannis battle groups jointly deterred the South China Sea, which is also a tough signal to China. Moreover, Swift, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, said, I believe that the countries concerned already know what this means and have received this signal. What do you think of this matter? The United States has done this kind of thing. In fact, Nimitz and Independence were at 1996. At that time, Lee Teng-hui engaged in the "two-state theory" and sent two aircraft carriers to the waters east of Taiwan Province Province as a deterrent. This is the second time that it has specifically targeted China. Last time, I told you. In other words, if two aircraft carriers enter the South China Sea, there are several restrictions. If there is, it is in the waters near the South China Sea, near Hainan Island, Xisha Islands and Guangdong in China. This is the first one. The second is this dual-carrier battle group, which will last for a period of time in the South China Sea, for example, it can be deployed continuously for one month or even two months, putting pressure on China for a long time in this place. Third, there should be some targeted military exercises, such as anti-submarine, anti-ship, attacking ground targets, and some joint exercises. Fourthly, draw some neighboring countries to conduct some such military deterrence and exercises in China, such as the US-Japan Indian Malabad exercise in the waters east of Okinawa, and conduct similar exercises.

At present, the United States has sent two aircraft carriers, the Reagan and the Stannis. As a result, the joint performance was not in the South China Sea and did not enter the South China Sea at all. It was in the Philippine Sea. Where is the Philippine Sea? It is close to the second island chain Guam, Mariana Islands and Saipan. We all know that there will be a Philippine naval battle after June 1944, also known as the Mariana naval battle. Na Pianhai is one or two thousand kilometers away from the South China Sea. You deter, you deter China. Why did you run so far? Last time I said that entering the South China Sea is death. The question is whether you can give up and die later. Dare you enter death? You have tried two aircraft carriers here for a month, and you are afraid to come. You're yelling in the Philippine Sea, one or two thousand kilometers away. What is even more ridiculous is that two aircraft carriers are sailing and a plane is sent there to take pictures. Finally, after taking photos, it was sent to a circle of friends and widely spread. After the photo shoot, Stannis said, Brother Reagan, you can stay here first. I have to go. I have to go to Hawaii. It had to participate in the Pacific Rim military exercise. In other words, Wan Li came here to meet and take photos, so far, not far. After taking the photo, it left. What do you call this?

Reagan (CVN-76) and Stannis (CVN-74) took a parallel photo in the Philippine Sea.

The destroyers stockdale (DDG 106) and Lawrence (DDG 1 10) of the US Navy's Third Fleet met the Chinese fleet.

There is another interesting thing. Five ships from China went to participate in the Pacific Rim military exercise. No sooner had they left the first island chain than they met two destroyers of the US Navy. These destroyers belong to the Third Fleet. They used to harass China around the South China Sea, and then what are you doing here? Send a signal to China, we have been waiting here for a long time. You can come. Come on, let's team up. I'll show you the way. Let's go to Hawaii for exercise. In terms of military diplomatic etiquette, this is a very high-standard grand welcome. There you are, man. I will show you the way. Come with me. Come with me, let's go there to exercise. You said these things were related. It's true that America came to deter you. Here, I say, the South China Sea will stop you. There, besides the first island chain, the second island chain has begun to welcome China. So, we are just looking at everything now. The task of the army is to fight. If we don't make some representations, the old members of Congress will say, Now that the army has nothing to do, should we cut military spending? So the US Navy is looking for threats everywhere, just to shut these guys up. Europe is looking for a Russian, and Asia is looking for a China. China is suitable. China, the world's second largest economy, poses a challenge to the United States. Only by suppressing China and China can we win the support of more Americans. Therefore, China is regarded as the enemy, and the local people clamor there all day. You can really get a lot of benefits. Recently, Congress approved the US national defense budget for the new year, amounting to 575.7 billion US dollars, and basically did not cut military spending. Why? Because the threats from China and Russia are too heavy now, the US military is becoming less and less effective, and its weapons and equipment are becoming more and more expensive. More personnel and equipment are needed to deal with the threats from China and Russia. You see, the money is here now.

On the Xi 'an warship, you can clearly see two American warships coming head on.

After China joined the US warship formation, they sailed to Hawaii together (the US destroyer was at the front, and the three ships behind were all Chinese participating ships).

China Navy Xi 'an ship hoisted the small boat, and the transshipment personnel went to the US "stockdale" to convene a coordination meeting on related matters during the navigation phase.

After you get it, you can stop the next step now. I estimate that the second half of the year may be a little less than the first half, because the money has been obtained and the Pacific Rim military exercise has started to cooperate again. Let me tell you about this Pacific Rim military exercise. There is one little thing that nobody noticed. China went to a particularly strange ship this time, that is, a submarine rescue ship, also called a submarine lifeboat. If anyone has seen Hunting Red October, it is my translation, 1983, 1984, written by tom clancy. That is, the Soviet navy's typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine was more than 30,000 tons, and then the captain decided to defect and defected to the United States. When he left, he wrote a letter to the commander of the Soviet navy, saying that my buddy would not go to work in the Soviet Union and I would defect to the United States. If you are capable, you should come to me. In this case, he began to defect to the United States. After the Soviet navy commander went to work, he read a letter on the desk, opened it and was shocked. Then he sent Soviet naval vessels, aircraft carriers, submarines and planes to chase and intercept submarines in the Atlantic Ocean, looking for them everywhere. Some of his classmates in the naval academy are now captains of nuclear submarines. They chased and intercepted them everywhere for a long time. This incident aroused the vigilance of the United States, which said it was for nothing and was going to war. Then the CIA finally learned that a submarine was going to defect through various means. Then, in this case, the CIA tried to establish contact with the submarine and tried to enter the submarine, but outsiders needed to dock when entering the submarine. At that time, the standards of the United States and the Soviet Union were not unified, and there was no way to dock. This man is sitting on a boat. How did the ship sneak into the submarine? The submarine is a sealed cabin. So at this time, there needs to be something called a diving bell, which can be docked, just like screwing a screw. It needs to be screwed on, and it will be airtight after being screwed on, so that people in the diving bell can dive down. This is too difficult, because there was no technical exchange or communication between the United States and the Soviet Union at that time, and there was nothing. At that time, the CIA actually went down through the diving bell, which was amazing.

China Navy's comprehensive submarine rescue lifeboat: Long Island Ship.

Now, China is a submarine rescue ship. I read the report that it seems that in this exercise, the submarine rescue ship will try to dock with the American submarine and dock with the diving bell. If so, this is unprecedented. For example, in the future, if an accident happens to a US Navy nuclear submarine in the South China Sea, and China needs rescue after the accident, China's diving bell can dive into the US nuclear submarine. This is amazing, which proves that the professional cooperation between the Chinese and American navies has entered. We often watch media reports, one today and the other tomorrow, because the media need to show off something. As I said before, dog bites are not news. Dog bites happen every day. Nobody takes this seriously. Man bites dog, man kills dog. This is news, so the media basically pursues a small thing, that is, they like to talk about war. Can they fight and start yelling about it? If we don't shout this out, the media will have no food. We should calm down.

The submersible equipped on the China Navy submarine rescue lifeboat Long Island can dock with the submarine.

One more question. We should know some news events strategically. China and the United States are strategic, right? We should be able to see some macro things, instead of exaggerating them because of a temporary event. For example, in China and the United States now, as I said just now, on the one hand, we need to do some performances in the South China Sea, and if you don't perform, Congress can't explain it. Then when we turn around, we can see that five ships from China participated in the Pacific Rim exercise in the United States, which was very friendly, and they also came out to rescue the ships, so all these show that there is confrontation and conflict between China and the United States. Swift, the newly appointed commander of the US Pacific Fleet, may not know why there are so many officials in the United States, which is quite confusing. People are bald. The commander of his Pacific fleet should be a general, but now he has been promoted to a general. He used to be a lieutenant general. Not long ago, he didn't sit in the P-8A and patrol the South China Sea for several hours.

This is the case with the US Pacific Fleet. First of all, let's say that Harris is Japanese, that is, his mother is Japanese, his father is American, and he is a US soldier stationed in Japan. In this case, Harris is of Japanese descent. He is now regarded as the largest Japanese official in American history. Admiral, that is, the commander of the Pacific Headquarters, is probably equivalent to the commander of the Nanjing Military Region. We used to call it the Nanjing Military Region, which is probably equivalent to such a theater commander. The United States has 10 such large-scale war zones. He is the commander of one of the 65,438+00 war zones. Under this Harris, he is in charge of the army commander, navy commander, marine corps commander and air force commander, and he is in charge of four commanders. These four commanders are all generals. There are no five-star generals in the United States now, but they are all four-star generals. This Swift is the commander of the Navy's Pacific Fleet, and Harris is the Admiral of the Pacific Headquarters. So under this Pacific fleet, there are two fleets, one is the third fleet and the other is the seventh fleet. The commanders of the Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet are three stars. They are Lieutenant Generals and Lieutenant Generals. After that, it is basically divided into task fleet commander and task fleet. You are appointed as an officer on a mission. This person is called the commander of the task fleet, and the commander of the task fleet is usually a major general. This is the case.

The US Naval Base in Yokosuga, the home port of the Seventh Fleet.

So now it is the United States, which is to strengthen some ships of the so-called Third Fleet to the Seventh Fleet. What is the main purpose? Now the main purpose is rendering. It means that in order to counter the threat of China, the American Light Seventh Fleet can't do this now, and the Third Fleet seems to have no threat. In fact, the third fleet is the strongest. The Third Fleet now has four aircraft carriers, while the Seventh Fleet has only 65,438+. In other words, the Third Fleet is very powerful. The main reason why the Third Fleet is so strong is this, which is also emphasized by the United States, that is, forward deployment. The troops deployed in front are flexible. If the third fleet in the rear will strengthen its support after encountering threats in the process of forward deployment, then there is no need to deploy too many troops in the front. There is also a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Reagan. The US aircraft carrier has only one military base overseas, namely Yokosuga. Now, it is analyzed that the United States is going to deploy Stannis in Singapore, Diego Garcia and subic bay. These are all blind analysis, one-time deployment, docking, and long-term use of this place as a military base. Those are two completely different concepts. The United States now has only one overseas base in Yokosuga. There will only be one base in the future, because it is very troublesome to establish a permanent overseas base. If you can overhaul and disassemble the whole aircraft carrier, repair it here. This will never happen in the Philippines, let alone in Singapore. It is even more impossible to say that the Ford aircraft carrier will be deployed in Yokosuga in the future after its completion. Ford is a baby knot. If it can't be repaired, don't analyze it blindly. There are many professional problems involved.

Okinawa, US Army, kadena air force base.

In addition, the first island chain is deployed at the forefront. In addition to the Reagan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier deployed in Yokosuga, the first island chain also has a large number of unsinkable aircraft carriers, such as Okinawa, many Japanese military bases, South Korea's Wushan Air Force Base and so on. This is hundreds of planes. You usually regard it as an airport. In fact, it is an unsinkable aircraft carrier, better than an aircraft carrier. All the electronic reconnaissance planes that come to the South China Sea in China all day. The Third Fleet is no better than the Seventh Fleet. In fact, the Seventh Fleet is stronger than the Third Fleet, which is a backup support fleet. This is the case. It is purely a rumor that a large number of ships from the Third Fleet are transferred to the Seventh Fleet. This time, we saw two destroyers strengthened to the Seventh Fleet. This is not to say that it has just started, and many ships are strengthened every year, because the deployment of the United States is the preparation of a special mixed fleet, which means, for example, this time we will smash a mess in the South China Sea and form a special mixed fleet. The task force may be selected from the Seventh Fleet and the Third Fleet to perform such a task. After the task is completed, everyone goes back to their homes and gets a reward with money. This is a way of organization in America. There is no third fleet to strengthen the seventh fleet. The usual routine administrative deployment is normal, and the organization of the operation will be completely disrupted.

Division of jurisdiction between the US Navy's Seventh Fleet and the Third Fleet

Take the Pacific War in history as an example. In the Pacific War, the commander of the Third Fleet was halsey, a four-star general, and the commander of the Fifth Fleet was spruance, a four-star general. There were only two numbered fleets at that time, the Third Fleet and the Fifth Fleet. At that time, General Nimitz was in charge of the Central Pacific, MacArthur was in charge of the Southwest Pacific, and MacArthur was an army general. At that time, the Seventh Fleet led by Kincaid was also under the command of General MacArthur, mainly responsible for amphibious landing and island capture operations. There are two main fleets in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Halsey and spruance. In order to confuse Japan, these two numbered fleets, the Third Fleet and the Fifth Fleet, are said to be two numbered fleets externally, but there is only one at home. Strengthen a fist, that is, when halsey led the Third Fleet to war, the Fifth Fleet rested, spruance had a holiday, and all the staff officers had a holiday. All the ships were strengthened to the third fleet, and then the fifth fleet was finished. Come on, Halsey, have a rest. By the end of the war, Japan didn't know whether the United States was the third fleet or the fifth fleet, and which fleet it was fighting. As a result, I didn't understand myself while confusing Japan. In the final analysis, the United States is not sure which battle was fought by the Third Fleet and which was fought by the Fifth Fleet. But on the whole, the Fifth Fleet played a lot, like spruance. In the Mariana naval battle, halsey played Wright Bay as a backup, that is, don't over-publicize the synthesis of the US Third Fleet and the US Seventh Fleet. Sometimes the United States fires smoke bombs because I have studied the United States for decades. At the end of World War II, there were more than 2,800 ships in the United States. Reagan tried to get 600 ships in the 1980 s, but he didn't get it. There were more than 580 ships. 280 ships, 280 ships, the Atlantic side is the second fleet and the sixth fleet, the Pacific side is the third fleet and the seventh fleet, and there is a small fleet and the fifth fleet in the Mediterranean. Your 280 ships are divided into five fleets. You calculate how many ships can there be, even if one side is half and the other side is half, even if there are more ships in the Pacific Ocean, you divide the third fleet and the seventh fleet in half, and there are more than 70 ships on one side. Even if you give more to the Pacific fleet, you have to get 80 ships. 80 ships is one third of the dispatch rate. If you divide 80 ships by 3, you will dispatch less than 30 ships at the same time. It's really raining in Mao Mao. What are you? And we rely on island chains, islands, shore-based aviation, air force and second artillery to fight. You brought 30 ships to China to provoke? So this won't work. We should be objective and scientific when talking about some problems.

The destroyers of the US Navy's Third Fleet are stockdale (DDG 106) and Lawrence (DDG 1 10).

On June 20th, seven Chinese and American naval vessels participating in the "Pacific Rim -20 16" exercise held a formation tactical maneuver drill in the western Pacific.
