It is Kokang and Changchun

　"copy! (Received!)"

　Enterprise watched the incoming missiles on the radar screen and took evasive action. When the missiles were about to approach the fighter, Enterprise ordered Bumblebee:

　"Bumblebee, release the heat decoy!"

　The Hornet did as it was told, and Enterprise's F/A-18 fighter jets trailed a series of brilliant light bombs from their tails. They fell freely in the air like flowers scattered by fairies, carried by the wind.

　In the end, the two F/A-18s were determined not to have been shot down and survived safely.

　The "surviving" Enterprise was somewhat frightened and asked over the radio: "Why are there enemy planes within the air defense range of the aircraft carrier battle group? What on earth is the escort fleet doing?"

　The captains of the various Burke-class destroyers and the Enterprise declined to comment.

　Even the ship girls in the formation were laughing inexplicably.

　Raffi (DD-459): "Well...actually, Raffi already knew about it, but couldn't tell Enterprise. Well, couldn't tell... probably."

　Helena: "Although my SG radar can't see them, I know they exist, but I can't say anything~"

　……

　"I get it, it's the headquarters that's behind this, right?" Enterprise said with a stern face as he sent a message to the headquarters.

　"Command

　"Didn't we agree that the enemy has no air support or anti-aircraft missiles?" Enterprise asked with a wry smile.

　"Intelligence cannot be completely comprehensive. Sometimes you have to deal with ambushes when there is information asymmetry. As the saying goes, all is fair in war." The command center replied as if nothing had happened.

　Enterprise: "But we can't arrange for the enemy to be within our air defense range, right?"

　Command: "How to arrange it is our command's business. Don't worry too much. Just follow our instructions."

　After saying this, the command center hung up the communication.

　"Damn!" Bumblebee grumbled to Enterprise, "Did Command deliberately collude to trick us?"

　Enterprise said nothing and shook his head.

　After ending the call with command, Enterprise continued to stare at the radar screen, occasionally glancing at the sky outside the cabin.

　Bumblebee said, "Based on the direction the missile came from, it should be an air-to-air missile, but I didn't see any suspicious cross-section on the radar screen..."

　"That's only one possibility, the aircraft on the opposite side is a fifth-generation aircraft." The company concluded.

　"Ah? Fifth-generation aircraft? Isn't this too bullying?" Bumblebee shouted in a mess.

　At this moment, the plane's locked alarm sounded again...

　After some struggle, Enterprise and Yorktown shook off the second wave of incoming missiles. However, the second wave of attacks seemed to have irritated Enterprise.

　"Playing dirty? Okay. In that case, don't blame me for using my ability." Enterprise's face darkened and he spoke slowly.

　The aircraft carrier girl can not only share the perspective with the carrier-based aircraft, but also buff the carrier-based aircraft. Specifically, it can strengthen the carrier-based aircraft in all aspects to a certain extent.

　Enterprise closed his eyes, put himself in the radar perspective of a carrier-based aircraft, and carefully felt the feedback of the radar waves.

　"The F/A-18 uses the APG-79 active phased array radar. The 79GHz frequency is still not enough for fifth-generation stealth aircraft..." The company searched for feedback on the radar waves.

　"Wait!" At this time, the company suddenly discovered that the wavelength and frequency domain of the radar were changing towards millimeter waves.

　"So I have this ability?" Enterprise said in surprise.

　The company tried to control the radar waves to move closer to higher frequencies, but found that they could only reach the 158GHz frequency range at most.

　"It's exactly twice the original frequency range... Is this the only way?" The company wanted to continue controlling the radar to emit radar waves with a larger frequency range, but the radar remained unmoved.

　"Let's try to see if we can see anything at this level." Enterprise controlled the fighter's radar to release radar waves and receive the signals sent back.

　After careful search, the company discovered four suspicious blurred sections in a certain direction.

　"Command really thinks highly of us. They sent out four F-35s to ambush us." Enterprise reopened his eyes and smiled bitterly.

　"Shit..." Bumblebee wanted to fire at the command center. "What do we do now?"

　"Shake them off and continue the mission." Unlike the anxious Bumblebee, Enterprise seemed much calmer.

　The Enterprise then continued to fly to the ground target while giving the same orders to its wingman.

　Bumblebee couldn't understand and asked, "There are enemy planes targeting us, and we still have to lick the ground?"

　"Our mission is to attack ground targets, not to compete for air supremacy with enemy aircraft." Enterprise explained its decision.

　"But... the enemy fighters are targeting us..." Bumblebee expressed his concern.

　"I know what you're going to say..." Enterprise interrupted Bumblebee and continued to educate Bumblebee.

　"That's how the German pilots thought back then. When their fighter formations escorting the bomber formations encountered an enemy fighter formation, instead of surrounding the bombers and defending them, they abandoned the bombers and engaged in a dogfight with the enemy. The consequence of doing so was that neither side would be successful, understand?"

　"Yeah..." Bumblebee suddenly realized, slapping his flight helmet in frustration. "How could I have forgotten that? I've been on a battlefield ship."

　In addition to the fact that the mission was ground attack rather than air attack, the company also chose to complete the ground attack mission rather than settle accounts with the enemy aircraft because most of the aircraft were equipped with ground attack mounts, the number and quality of our aircraft were at a disadvantage, and the F/A-18 had a short range.

　The only two things that the F/A-18 surpasses the F35 in are thrust-to-weight ratio and maximum speed.

　Therefore, the company decided to use its speed advantage to leave the F-35 behind and complete the ground mission.

　"Beep-beep-beep..." At this time, the familiar locked alarm sounded again.

　"Tsk... How annoying. Bumblebee, prepare the heat decoy bombs!" Enterprise made another evasive flight and gave the order.

　Chapter 110 Christmas Eve

　In the end, Enterprise and Yorktown relied on the speed and acceleration advantages of the F/A-18, and used the ship girl's ability to further buff it, shaking off four F-35s and completing the ground attack mission.

　After completing the mission, the Shark 4-6 aircraft slowly descended, its tail hook precisely hooked onto the second arresting cable. When Enterprise's aircraft left the landing area and returned to its position, the Shark 4-2 landed next.

　After getting off the plane, Enterprise and Hornet took off their flight helmets, said hello to Yorktown and Lexington who got off their wingmen, and returned to the cabin through the path they had taken to the deck.

　At the same time, Bumblebee complained indignantly: "Sister Enterprise, ask your captain what's going on? It turns out that we have been deceived since before training.

　In the drum?"

　Enterprise then communicated with the captain using the bridge compartment radio.

　"Captain, you and the command center have already colluded in advance..."

　"To be honest, yes." Crownpeace smiled mischievously and admitted it directly without any concealment.

　"Actually, the command center mainly wants to test your decision-making when being pursued by enemy aircraft during a ground-to-ground mission."

　The company countered, "Four F-16s would be fine, but isn't four F-35s a bit excessive? That's fine by me, but a human pilot would have no chance of completing the ground tracking mission under the same circumstances."

　After all, when companies evade missiles, they don’t need to consider the maximum overload that humans can withstand, they only need to consider the maximum overload that the aircraft body can withstand.

　Besides, all aspects of the Enterprise's carrier-based aircraft have been buffed by myself.

　"It's precisely because human pilots can't match you that command arranged to use F-35s to chase you instead of F-16s."

　Crownpeace explained slowly and comforted Enterprise:

　"Oh, don't worry about that. Even so, didn't you successfully complete the mission and return? Command said your performance was outstanding and exceeded their expectations."

　I thought you'd be beaten to a pulp by four fifth-generation fighters, but it seems I underestimated your shipgirl abilities." Crownpeace was surprised at Enterprise's missile-dodging skills.

　If the aircraft's loadouts at the time had not been mostly ground-to-air, Enterprise and Yorktown might have been able to fight back.

　"Well, I don't have any big objections. It's mainly Bumblebee who is dissatisfied..." Enterprise replied.

　When Bumblebee heard what Enterprise said, she got angry. She puffed her cheeks and shouted, "Hey! Sister Enterprise, don't give me away..."

　……

　The fleet returned to camp after training. When the task force arrived at the port, the sky was already dark and the sky was filled with red clouds.

　Pearl Harbor is filled with the atmosphere of Christmas. Christmas trees and other Christmas-related items can be seen everywhere, and the sailors' faces are filled with festive smiles.

　After Crownpeace finished her training report at headquarters, she returned to the captain's office on the USS Enterprise.

　She sat in her office chair, put her navy cap aside, took out her wallet and counted her salary income for the past two months. She couldn't help but sigh at the current financial situation in the United States.

　"Two months of salary payments are less than what we paid in one month before...it seems the federal government is really out of money."

　Crownpeace dropped her wallet into her desk drawer and closed it.

　Looking at the American flag hanging naturally from the flagpole standing in the corner of the office, Crownpeace entered a meditative state.

　"America, once upon a time, was such a vibrant country, the first to plant its flag on the Sea of ​​Tranquility on the moon. But now America can't even handle a minor virus..."

　"Oh, I don't want to think too much about it. Let's go eat. Although my salary has shrunk a lot, at least the food is still guaranteed."

　Crownpeace shook off her messy thoughts, got up and went to the cafeteria, and called Enterprise by the way.

　When Piss entered Enterprise's room, she saw Enterprise preparing to tear open the MRE bag.

　"Enterprise, don't eat MREs all the time. Isn't the Christmas set meal in the cafeteria today, with turkey, log cake, almond pudding and so on, better than MREs?" Helplessly, Piss pulled Enterprise's arm and advised.

　Enterprise continued unpacking. "Leave the delicious food for the soldiers. I'll just have the MREs."

　"If you keep doing this, I'll call Yorktown and Bumblebee to carry you into the cafeteria~" Piss tried to call for help and persuade Enterprise.

　“…” Enterprise stopped what he was doing, looked at the MRE and thought for a few seconds before finally compromising.

　At this moment, the cell phone in Crownpeace's pocket rang.

　Piss took out her cell phone and answered the call. Before Piss could say anything, the person on the other end spoke first.

　"Hey, Pis! Happy Christmas Eve! Do you want to go out for dinner together?"

　The voice of an old friend always brings warmth, especially on New Year's Eve.

　When Piss heard it was her old friend, she was overjoyed. "Haha, it's Sunny... you too. I'm in Pearl Harbor, and you're on the West Coast. How come we're going out for dinner? And with the current US fiscal situation, I'm a little short on cash right now."

　Sunny: "We flew over to see you these past few days. We're right at the gates of Pearl Harbor right now. It's Christmas, so best friends should get together! As for the money, don't worry about it, dinner is on us!"

　"Wait a minute, did you come here by plane?" Piss's focus seemed a little off.

　Sonny said impatiently, "You're asking that? What else can we do? Are we supposed to fly across half the Pacific Ocean to get here?"

　"Haha, just asking." Piss laughed and asked, "By the way, are Star and Luna here?"

　Sunny jokingly asked, "Do you remember any of us three ever acting alone?"

　"I understand." Piss smiled. "I'll get ready now and meet you at the door later. That's settled. Thanks for the treat. I'll definitely treat you back when I have more money!"

　After Crownpeace hung up the phone, she asked Enterprise: "Enterprise, my best friend invited me to dinner out, do you want to join us?"

　"Since it's the captain's invitation, I'll obey your command." Enterprise agreed.

　"?" Crownpeace asked, puzzled. "You didn't want to go to the cafeteria just now, but why are you so happy to go out to eat with me?"

　"I don't have many opportunities to go out normally, so this time I just went out with the captain to try some new flavors and see how they differ from the cafeteria and MREs." Enterprise explained naturally.

　Crownpeace was relieved. "I'm so glad you chose MREs over eating out...Okay, let's go together."

　Ten minutes later, Sunny, who was outside the port area gate, saw Crownpeace walking towards the gate from a distance and waving at them.

　"Hey, Pis! We're here!"

　Piss saw Sunny raising her hands and responded excitedly, "Here I come!"

　Then Piss pulled Enterprise all the way to the gate.

　"Long time no see, Pis!" Sonny gave Pis a big hug.

　"That's right, I miss you guys so much too! And Luna and Star too." Piss said and gave Star and Luna a hug each.

　Luna glanced at Enterprise and asked, "Pis, is this the ship girl you mentioned earlier?"

　Piss then realized she seemed to have forgotten Enterprise and hurriedly introduced it to everyone: "Yes, yes, she is the legendary Yorktown-class aircraft carrier Enterprise, although she is now Ford-class. She is the largest and most powerful aircraft carrier in the United States!"

　After introducing the company, Crownpeace introduced her three best friends to the company.

　Crownpeace pointed to one of the short-haired girls with twin ponytails and introduced her, "This is Sunny Milk, the eldest of the three."

　Then he pointed to the next girl with curly hair and said, "This is Luna Cerud. She's usually quite calm and her favorite thing is coffee."

　Finally, there was the third girl with long, black hair. "Finally, there's the kind and innocent Sta Safia."

　After the introduction, the company shook hands with the three of them to show its goodwill.

　"Hello, as the Captain just said, I am both a Yorktown-class and Ford-class Enterprise. This is the first time I've met you in person today. It's a pleasure to meet you."

　The three girls took turns to accept the handshake.

　"Is this your first time meeting them in person? Does that mean you've known them before but never met them in person?" Piss caught a detail in Enterprise's words.
