Hu Shuming rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze to the sea again.

Then he replied:

"Think about it, even in my dreams."

"But a dream is a dream, and not all dreams can come true so quickly."

"There is only one 055 now, and sea trials have not been completed. Let alone open it, it is not easy to even go up and take a look."

"If you really want to think about it, let's wait until the quantity increases in two years - by then we will have enough qualifications, maybe we can really make a profit?"

"You can definitely catch it!"

The first mate said with a smile.

But then, his expression became a little emotional. After a long silence, he continued:

"Seriously, it would be great if we drove 055 this time."

"Just relying on this 052C, I'm going to collide with the American Fifth Fleet. I really have some ideas."

"feel a little scared?"

Hu Shuming asked.

"Afraid? How is that possible!"

"It should be said that they are worried - they are afraid that they will not be able to defeat them and will embarrass the country."

Hu Shuming nodded silently. In fact, he could completely understand the first mate's mood.

After all, at this moment, his thoughts were not much different from those of the other party.

They are all worried, worried, and confused.

He clearly understands his mission and the bottom line of the mission.

Under the premise that force cannot be used, this 052C must tear through the "de facto" encirclement of the Fifth Fleet and reach the port of Djibouti. Then, after the Weishan Lake has completed replenishing the other 052 left there, it will turn around.

Go to Port Sudan and station there, waiting for the next evacuation mission that may be carried out.

Although it sounds like just a few simple actions, in fact, even if it is broken down to the smallest detail, it is not easy to complete any of them.

First is crossing the Red Sea.

The Fifth Fleet has deployed a large number of troops near the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is called escort, but in fact it is an intentional blockade.

If the Zhengzhou ship wants to pass, it will inevitably be blocked by them.

When the time comes, they will find various reasons to interfere with the Zhengzhou ship's right of free passage, and it is impossible for us to take advantage in the process of "reasoning" with them.

As for fighting without hesitation and grabbing the road?

Not to mention whether the superiors allow this, even if the superiors agree, the 052C is not enough to beat the opponent's Burke-class and Ticonderoga-class.

Even if this step is successfully completed, the subsequent evacuation mission from Port Sudan will not be that simple.

Now the entire Port Sudan has been controlled by the Revolutionary Front organization. According to intelligence from the front, the opponent is well-equipped and does not follow the rules.

"Not following the rules" means that they may attack their own side.

Once this happens, the Zhengzhou ship will have to rely on shipboard weapons for defense, and at the same time it must form an absolute deterrent to prevent the Revolutionary Front organization from attacking the Chinese people in Suzhou who are about to evacuate.

The defense is okay, it can be protected.

Hu Shuming asked himself that it was almost impossible to do 052C.

The range of naval guns is too short, missiles cannot be fired at will, the range and armament of helicopters are weak, and electronic warfare cannot play a big role in facing those little black men.

Perhaps in the end, Djibouti will still need air force assistance.

But if the Air Force wants to reach Port Sudan, it must pass through the old and American Air Defense Identification Zone.

This is an irreconcilable paradox

Hu Shuming took a long sigh and said involuntarily:

"It's so frustrating."

"Yeah, it's really frustrating."

The first mate on the side echoed:

"You said, it would be better if we could just start fighting, but weapons are not good enough. Even if they hit me, they would be sunk."

"The most troublesome thing is the current situation. You can't fight, and you have to make the other party give in."

"Conquering the enemy without fighting sounds simple, but in reality it is not that easy."

"Really, it would be great if 055 were here. That would be the real tiger among the sheep."

"You've already said it three times in less than five minutes."

Hu Shuming interrupted.

Then, he raised the water bottle in his hand and took a sip, then threw the water bottle with the cap back into the first mate's hand.

"Don't think about unrealistic things. The East China Sea is not optimistic now."

"It is said that we encountered strong electromagnetic interference two days ago. It was caused by the old American EF-18, which wanted to create another severe air condition for us."

"Fortunately, we just updated the radar system and there were no serious consequences."

"So, in the short term, 055 will not sail to Djibouti. We can only rely on ourselves."

"but."

"Even if we rely on ourselves, it may not be completely impossible."

"any solution?"

The first mate asked slightly curiously.

"How could I know! Just take it one step at a time!"

Hu Shuming replied angrily.

But then, he solemnly said:

"No matter whether there is any way or not, when it's time for us to go up, we have to go up."

"Back then, when we put tanks on the ship, we dared to ask those grandsons to get on board. Now that we have naval guns and missiles, don't we still dare to get on board?"

"Isn't she just an old beauty? Let's touch each other and see who is tougher."

"They have a way out, but we don't."

"This time, we will not only conquer Africa."

"There are compatriots waiting for us there."

"This ship is their last hope."
