On the command flagship of the Victory, the meeting continued.
After talking about the enemy's intelligence information, Zhang Huaqing introduced some other situations.
"Currently, part of the maritime power of three countries has been gathered here, and naval forces from at least two countries are on the way.
This sea area is the only way to pass through the East-West sea lanes. Our country, China, as well as six countries including E, T and M are jointly responsible for patrolling.
The teams from Country T and Country M arrived yesterday morning, and the forces from Country E also arrived today.
They have all come to contact us before, hoping to reach cooperation and act together.
General Zhao Han, what do you think about cooperation?"
Regarding the joint operation, Zhang Huaqing's response to the other side was to wait until the teams from the remaining two countries arrived before discussing it together.
"On the navy side, you can make your own decision based on the situation, and you can also conduct joint operations. On the special operations team side, you can only act alone!" Zhao Han responded.
"The country M also means the same thing. This time they transferred a very powerful naval special force from the base directly under the Navy's Fifth Fleet.
I estimate that the fundamental purpose of the other party's so-called joint operations is just to let other international naval forces help them blockade the sea areas.
This is some simple information about the special forces sent by Country M this time, Zhao Han, you can take a look."
After Zhang Huaqing finished speaking, he handed another piece of information to Zhao Han.
What is recorded in the data is the data of the naval special forces dispatched by country M this time.
The Sea Eagle Special Operations Group of Country M, with a total number of eighty people, comes from the Zhenhai Base directly under the Fifth Fleet.
The falcon soaring over the sea, with its sharp claws holding the Poseidon Trident, is the emblem of their special forces.
The Seahawks Special Forces Group consists of ten special teams teams.
In terms of strength, it is not too clear. However, all members are at least squadron level. Captain Prey Connor can be sure to be the king of naval forces. The specific level is not yet known accurately.
In other words, this Seahawks special team is the lowest level, and it is also the strength of all members in the late stage.
This is difficult to find in China. Fire Phoenix is currently the same standard, but it is an exception after all.
The key is, this Seahawks special teams team is not their strongest special teams team yet.
The title of the strongest naval special forces team has always been the SEALs directly under the First Fleet.
Country M has always been at the forefront of the world in military strength. This is an indisputable fact.
Although China has developed rapidly in the military field, it must be admitted that there is still a slight gap in comparison.
Perhaps in terms of army special forces, we can really compete with them, but in terms of naval strength, the gap is too big.
Apart from anything else, there is a clear gap in the comparison of maritime power gathered here in the waters of Aden this time.
In addition to the Seahawks Special Forces, Country M's Fifth Fleet also mobilized at least ten warships this time.
Moreover, these ten battleships are still different battleships that can be selected as the main force according to the actual situation.
Two amphibious assault ships, two Freedom-class combat ships, two cruisers, and two destroyers.
In addition to these, there is also a dock transport ship and an attack nuclear submarine.
Such a fleet strength, simply placed in the waters of Aden, is almost invincible.
However, this is only a subordinate fleet under an aircraft carrier of the opponent's Fifth Fleet.
The Fifth Fleet alone has at least ten such aircraft carriers, as well as a super aircraft carrier that is not well known to outsiders.
Therefore, the title of world-recognized ocean hegemon is not nonsense.
Zhang Huaqing and others speculated that Country M might be taking this opportunity to show off its power to other countries.
After all, countries like China are developing too fast.
In the past few years, with the military's policy of vigorously developing naval and air special forces, it has become increasingly true.
The development of the Flying Dragon Brigade is almost equivalent to the development of sea and air special forces.
It must be said that this policy has achieved remarkable results.
China's naval power, which had never been taken seriously by those maritime powers in the past, has slowly climbed up the world-class rankings.
Zhao Han has not been in the military for a long time and does not know much about naval matters.
However, based on the information Zhang Huaqing said, Zhao Han could also see that the Navy of Country M would definitely not just destroy pirates this time.
Zhao Han didn't care about this.
Because these things have nothing to do with him.
If country M wants to show off its own methods, it must have enough power in its hands.
Before going here, Zhao Han had already received the news and had some general ideas about the reasons behind the pirates' alliance this time.
As for where his news came from, there are too many ways.
Whether it's the Black Prison, the Heavenly Pavilion, or the Blood Thorn, they all have ways to collect underground intelligence.
If we only have these naval forces on the surface, Zhao Han can be sure that in a real large-scale battle, the naval coalition will definitely be at a disadvantage.
However, it seems that no one wants a direct battle to break out, so it depends on the methods of special forces.
"General Zhao, your special forces team..." Zhang Huaqing seemed to want to say something, but he seemed a little embarrassed.
"Commander Zhang, just speak up if you have something to say." Zhao Han said.
"It's like this. If nothing else happens, the main tasks of this operation will be completed by your special forces.
At least, the Navy will try to avoid large-scale battles until the hostages are rescued.
We can roughly guess some of Party M’s intentions, which are related to the right to maintain routes in the waters of Aden!
They want to use this incident to show their absolute power first, and then gain more dominance in this matter!"
Later, Zhang Huaqing explained the so-called route maintenance rights.
The so-called maintenance rights, to put it bluntly, are to protect the safety and stability of this section of the route.
Sounds like a great thing to do.
But it's not.
Because the so-called maintenance only requires some fleets to patrol regularly.
However, when ships pass through these important places that they must pass through, they are never free!
Like those important straits and canals that connect several major oceans, etc.
Those are the only places that ocean transportation and trade must pass through.
Tolls are definitely not cheap.
However, those straits, ports, canals, etc. are basically within the territorial waters of some countries.
The maintenance rights of those places are naturally the responsibility of the respective countries.
But it's different here in the Aden Sea.
This is in the high seas area.
And this sea area is extremely special.
Two fortress straits for ocean shipping are located at the northwest and southeast ends of the Aden Sea.
In other words, this sea area, like the two straits, is a place that must be passed through.
