Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

The news of the declaration of war spread quickly around the world like a bombshell, triggering widespread attention and concern from the international community.

The Secretary-General of the Blue Star United Congress urgently called on both sides to exercise restraint and resolve the dispute through dialogue.

European governments have also issued statements expressing "serious concern" over the unilateral military action by the United States and calling for avoiding the expansion of the war.

However, once the war machine is started, it is difficult to stop it.

In the Black Sea, the atmosphere on the flight deck of the USS Eisenhower, the flagship of the Sixth Fleet of the United States, was tense and solemn.

Ground crew members dressed in colorful work clothes shuttled back and forth busily amid the deafening roar of engines, conducting final inspections and bomb loading operations for the F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" carrier-based attack aircraft that were about to take off.

Fleet Commander-in-Chief Admiral Harris stood on the bridge, looking through the huge portholes at the busy scene on the flight deck.

He is in his fifties and his hair is already graying, but his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle, revealing the courage and perseverance unique to a soldier.

As an experienced naval general, he had commanded many maritime military operations and was full of confidence in this "special military operation" against Yugoslavia.

"All fighters are ready, sir! The first attack wave will take off in five minutes!" the communications officer at the combat command center reported to him.

Admiral Harris nodded, picked up the telescope, and scanned the sea level.

The sky was clear and the sea was calm, perfect weather for an airstrike.

"What is the current status of the fleet's air defense?" he asked his first mate, a naval lieutenant colonel named Hansen.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen quickly replied: "The radar systems of all Aegis destroyers and cruisers are turned on, and the Standard Missile-3 and Standard Missile-6 air defense missiles are on standby."

"E-2D AWACS aircraft are patrolling at high altitude, providing early warning."

"Our air defense network is impenetrable, sir."

Admiral Harris nodded with satisfaction.

He was very confident in the fleet's air defense capabilities.

After years of development, the US Navy's Aegis combat system has become the world's most advanced and reliable fleet air defense system, capable of effectively responding to various air threats.

"Very good." Admiral Harris put down his binoculars and said with a relaxed expression, "Yugoslavia's air force is almost negligible. Their MiG-21s are nothing but scrap metal next to our Super Hornets."

"The only thing to watch out for is the small number of advanced air defense missiles they may have obtained from Russia or China."

"Have electronic warfare aircraft ready to jam any threat signals if they are detected."

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen showed a hint of worry on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Sir, should we send a few reconnaissance planes first, or have the E-2D early warning aircraft conduct a more detailed reconnaissance of Yugoslavia's coastal military deployments?"

“I heard that Yugoslavia recently received a batch of military aid from Longguo. If they really deploy advanced fighter jets like… like the J-20, our first wave of attack may face unexpected risks.”

Admiral Harris sneered disdainfully upon hearing this, then turned to look at Hansen with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Hansen, you worry too much."

J-20? Something that only exists in Dragon Country propaganda posters?

"Even if it really exists, do you think the Dragon Kingdom would easily hand over such a national treasure to a small and precarious country like Yugoslavia?"

He walked over to a huge nautical chart and pointed his finger at a location in the Adriatic Sea.

"Our intelligence agencies have confirmed that the aid provided by Longguo to Yugoslavia mainly consists of some outdated Soviet tanks and artillery, as well as some MiG fighter jets that they copied themselves."

"These things are no match for our Super Hornets."

"But, sir," Lieutenant Colonel Hansen tried to argue, "Intelligence from the Battle of Stalingrad shows that Longguo may possess military technology far beyond our assessment. Those drones and mechanical dogs..."

"That's enough, Hansen!" Admiral Harris interrupted him, his tone becoming stern. "The defeat at Stalingrad was caused by the army's incompetence and MacArthur's stubborn strategic mistakes. It had nothing to do with our navy! Don't be frightened by those groundless intelligence reports!"

He walked up to Hansen, patted his shoulder, and softened his tone.

"I know what you're worried about. But you have to believe in the military strength of the Eagle Sauce."

"Our F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is one of the most advanced carrier-based fighter jets in the world, equipped with more powerful engines, more advanced radar and avionics systems, and longer-range air-to-air missiles."

"Even if the Dragon Kingdom really provided Yugoslavia with a small number of their so-called 'advanced fighter jets', they would only be slaughtered by our 'Super Hornets'."

Admiral Harris's eyes were full of confidence, even a hint of arrogance.

"Let's take a step back and say that even if China really gave its J-20s to Yugoslavia, what would happen? The outcome of a confrontation between the F/A-18E/F and the J-20 is still unknown, and it's not certain who will win."

"Moreover, do you think that the financially strapped Dragon Nation would be willing to donate such expensive experimental products that haven't yet achieved large-scale combat effectiveness to a small country far away in Europe?"

"Don't forget, they have their own coastline to protect."

He picked up the binoculars again and peered toward the flight deck. "Hansen, remember, we are the Eagle Sauce Navy, the rulers of the world's oceans. Our mission is to convey the President's will to those disobedient nations in the most direct and effective way possible."

"Now, our target is Yugoslavia. Let's teach those Balkan diehards a lesson about the Super Hornet!"

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen looked at Admiral Harris's determined back, opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He knew that once the fleet commander made up his mind, any dissuasion would be futile.

He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that the operation would go as smoothly as the commander expected.

On the flight deck, the first wave of twenty-four F/A-18E/F "Super Hornets" have completed final preparations before takeoff.

The pilots sat in the cockpit and checked the data on the instrument panel for the last time.

These pilots are the elite of the American naval aviation force. They are experienced, highly skilled, and full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

As the take-off command was given, the first "Super Hornet" rushed into the sky like an arrow with the powerful boost of the steam catapult.

Then, the second, the third...

Twenty-four "Super Hornets" took off one after another and quickly formed an attack formation in the air. Like a black scythe of death, they swept towards the coastline of Yugoslavia.

Behind them, EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft and E-2D Hawkeye early warning aircraft also took off one after another to provide electronic suppression and air early warning for the attack formation.

The entire attack wave was well organized and coordinated, fully demonstrating the powerful combat capabilities of the Eagle Sauce Naval Aviation.
