In a real war, which warship can achieve a record of more than 10:1?

Maybe it can be done with the support of a complete naval system, but in a single-ship confrontation, reaching 5:1 is already very high.

He shook his head slightly, with a smile on his face.

"5:1 is enough. After all, Zumwalt is not just an attack ship. Its main battlefield is on land."

"Indeed."

The assistant replied in agreement. After a pause, he continued:

"However, we are now facing other problems."

"The first problem is, Houston will be there in May. We must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, on the premise that major conflicts have arisen between us, subsequent actions will face various obstacles."

"I know."

Bob interrupted the assistant and then said:

"You don't need to get involved in this matter. I have already submitted an application to Congress. It won't be long before he will be removed from the May Conference."

"When the time comes, I will recommend you to join the May meeting, and we will become the strongest foreign aid for both sides."

"If we do it right, we can have more influence in Congress."

After hearing Bob's words, the assistant was stunned for a moment.

He vaguely felt that this matter had a major impact, but for a while he didn't know what the problem was.

After all, this is just a normal political operation. Placing one's own people in various departments is a common way to gain the right to speak.

May meeting

The assistant didn't think about it any further.

But what he didn't know was that due to the consecutive failures of the May Meeting, the trust of this department had dropped to the bottom. Not only Bob's Corner Tower, but other real power departments were also ready to make moves.

And this movement, like a crack in a giant dam, may soon completely destroy the U.S. foreign strategic system.

However, they are still unaware of this.

After determining Houston's fate, the assistant continued:

"The other thing is the Darfur incident."

"Currently, the Revolutionary Front's offensive against Sudanese officials is accelerating, and with our help, it has also achieved a series of results."

"Currently, they are less than 500 kilometers away from the capital Khartoum. It is expected that they will be able to completely capture Khartoum in up to three months."

"However, China also responded to this."

"They do not plan to intervene directly, but they seem to want to use external deterrents to control the scope of chaos within Sudan."

"The construction progress of the Djibouti military port is accelerating, and it is expected that the first batch of military forces will be stationed in Djibouti in one or two months."

"Their presence there will have a major impact on the situation in Africa, and we should find ways to check and balance it."

"Indeed."

Bob opened the drawer, took out a report, and handed it to his assistant.

When the latter took the report and looked at it, his eyes gradually changed from calmness to shock.

After a long silence, he asked:

"With such a big move, won't China launch a protest?"

"I mean, their influence in the United Nations cannot be underestimated."

Bob shook his head and replied:

"I can't control that much anymore."

"The era of confrontation has arrived early, and we must do whatever it takes."

Two days later, Bob's proposal was passed by Congress.

Subsequently, many ships stationed at various U.S. naval bases set sail one after another.

Their goal is unified, which is the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain.

This is the first large-scale expansion since the reorganization of the Fifth Fleet in 1995, and the purpose of this expansion is different from any mission of any other fleet:

Large-scale escort and peacekeeping.

The target is the Gulf of Aden.

——

In other words, it is the Red Sea, it is Djibouti, and it is the Chinese warship that will soon settle there.
