"In this case, this time, you guys, by the way, will help the 552 formation over there to serve as a vigilance mission...... "Deputy Commander Liu Zongxi was curious about what kind of fighters these Saudis were escorting, but Xie Kai and they didn't disclose any news at all, and in desperation, they could only agree.

Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer, Xie Kai was also a little anxious.

There is still a long way to go from this base to the Nansha Islands.

There is no problem with the speed of the warship, and it can arrive in two or three days, but there are still slow supply ships and passenger ships, and if the passenger ships do not keep up, the officers and men of Saudi Arabia will not be able to seriously carry out their tasks.

Even if it takes 16 knots to get there, it will take an extra day or two, and this is still without delay.

After a few hours of running, the warship needs to stop and get close to the supply ship or passenger ship to rotate the Saudi Navy officers and sailors above.

"Their headquarters is on a supply ship, shouldn't it be on a battleship?"

After getting on the battleship, I realized how strange this fleet was.

Xie Kai looked at her with a helpless wry smile on his face, "If it weren't for the equipment on the passenger ship, they would have set the fleet headquarters on the passenger ship, and the conditions on it would be better...... Why don't you go on a passenger ferry?"

"I'm not going, I'm going to the warship!" Mozzi shook his head resolutely.

I haven't had the opportunity to sit on a warship in my life.

The 537 ship is actually quite different from the early 053H2, but this one was only positioned as a frigate for sea attack at the beginning, so on the missile launcher behind the bridge, there are 8 C-801 anti-ship missile launchers.

According to Saudi Arabia's requirements, although some modifications have been made, in the original design, there is no way to install a missile like the ground red flag.

The Type 76 37mm twin-mounted machine gun used for air defense has been changed to automatic fire, which can be operated remotely from the command room when unattended, and because the time is too urgent, a set of Flying Shield-359 missile launchers and small radars are installed in the middle of the two auxiliary batteries.

It looks extremely awkward.

Accustomed to seeing the kind of clean and neat warships on the Internet, and looking at the current 053H2, Xie Kai always felt that the decks of these battleships were too crowded.

Take Mozi around the entire battleship, starting with the anti-submarine rocket launcher at the front of the deck, to the 79A Type 56 caliber 100mm naval gun in the back, to the C801 anti-ship missile in the back, various weapon systems are introduced.

"The firepower is not very strong!" Mozi sighed, "Doesn't it mean that there are ground-attack missiles on it? Just press the system of the Flying Shield-359 on it, this is not what our designers did, right?"

The corners of Xie Kai's mouth twitched.

Isn't this to meet the training requirements of the Saudis, to increase the anti-aircraft missile system!

"This is completely a direct transfer of the missile launch system on the tank, right?" In order to divert this embarrassing topic, Xie Kai asked Yu Haitao next to him.

He hadn't come up to see the modified warship before.

"The time is too urgent, the radar and missile launch system are outside, and the air defense operation area has been added to the command room, and two operators have been added, which has become more crowd......ed," Yu Haitao said to Xie Kai.

Anyway, it's for training, as long as it has this function.

The radar fire control of the flying shield-359 is independent, and it is not integrated with other radar systems on the entire battleship, and the inside of the command room is already small, even if the control console of the flying shield-359 does not need to occupy too much space, the command room inside the battleship is also very crowded.

After walking around the battleship, the inside of the battleship was indeed crowded, and it was even impossible to pass through many places.

Too many Saudis are in it.

Compared with the 053 ship, the 053H2 has a great improvement, fully enclosed design, full air conditioning, etc., and it has become of little use when the personnel are almost doubled.

"Director Yu, can't it be watched by our people, and their officers and soldiers will operate it?" Xie Kai originally wanted to be caught in the combat command and control center, but he could hardly find a foothold inside.

No wonder the Saudis can't stand it.

"There's no way, if our people don't look at it, they will fool around. Once something goes wrong, the impact is not small. But it's okay now, they have been in the fleet since Lafata, and they have listened to orders more. Yu Haitao sighed.

He is now the temporary captain of the 537 ship.

"Thanks, the environment is too bad here, come with us to the passenger ferry! It's about to leave!" Yevrola warmly invited Xie Kai.

Xie Kai refused.

He really hadn't been on a warship.

When you come, you will naturally feel it, and it is best to have a chance to fire a few shots.

Seeing that Xie Kai did not agree, Yevrola did not force it.

Directly through the gangplank to the supply ship next to it, and then from the supply ship to the passenger ship next to the supply ship.

"Lafata has always followed the entire fleet?" Xie Kai saw that Lafata on the boat waved to him, and he also waved in response, turning his head and asking Yu Haitao.

"I have been following the fleet, and it is estimated that the Saudi navy will be under his command in the future. Sometimes, he would come on the battleship. ”

"......" Xie Kaizhen didn't know how to express his thoughts.

If the commander of Saudi Arabia is like this, he doesn't even know the performance of his own warships and the level of his subordinates, and his future combat effectiveness ......

But think about it, anyway, Saudi warships are only used for sea patrols, and even pirates are difficult to encounter, so it is much calmer.

With the help of tugboats, warship 537 was towed out of the berth......

It wasn't until sunset that the loading and unloading of the supply ship and the transport ship next to it was completed.

Three ships of different types, starting the main engine almost at the same time.

"Control center, 537 formation requests to set sail!"

"The weather ahead is good, the sea is calm, and the wind is ...... well"

"Set sail!"

After contacting the base control center, Yu Haitao, the temporary captain of the 537 ship, issued a brief order.

Xie Kai, who was standing behind Yu Haitao, almost laughed, and the people in the command center of the naval base were also very naughty.

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

"Anchor~"

The whistle of the 537 ship sounded, and after the main engine was turned on, the power continued to increase, and in the process, the huge anchor was quickly retracted by the mechanical device. The small hull slowly headed out of the harbor.

Prior to this, the 950 supply ship and the Huaxing ship had already started on their own.

"Why can such a huge ship start on its own, but the warship needs to be towed out?" Mo Qi watched the whole process of leaving the port, and did not speak.

Xie Kai also wondered why.

But he didn't ask.

"When leaving the port, frequent starting, reversing, very wear out the service life of the main engine, our navy lacks funds, in order to save money, use tugboats to help dock and leave the port......" Yu Haitao explained.

Passenger ships and supply ships are much slower.

In the design of warships, they have never considered flexible operation in a small range and at low speeds.

"I hope nothing happens to them, or the consequences will be a bit serious. General Liu stood next to the harbor and watched this strange formation go out, with a worried expression.

"Commander, why did the higher authorities agree to let them go?" asked the assistant.

If you are worried, you should not let this fleet with passenger ships as if it were a tourist to the South China Sea.

"The South China Sea, that's our South China Sea! Our own fleet can't navigate in our own waters, and this is trampling on national sovereignty!" Deputy Commander Liu said sharply, "What's more, it's very difficult to really fight over there." ”

Everyone believes that it is difficult to fight in the South China Sea.

If the Vietnamese set aside the Soviet fleet stationed in Cam Ranh Bay, they themselves simply did not have a few warships that could be handled.

Will the Soviets go to war with China?

No, on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the Soviets are now about to be unable to support it, and it is not easy to evacuate.

The formation of a strange fleet soon disappeared at sea level.

Xie Kai and Mo Qi were very excited at first, but when the fleet sailed for an hour, they became a little bored.

At this time, it was already night, the 537 ship took the lead, and the 950 supply ship and the Huaxing ship moved forward side by side.

On the vast ocean, you can sail as you want.

"Why did you stop?" Xie Kai was bored and wanted to find a place to rest, and found that the boat had stopped.

"Saudi Arabia is going to be replaced...... Yu Haitao said calmly.

"It's only been more than an hour!" Xie Kai was a little anxious.

With passenger ships and supply ships, they are already walking slowly, and now they have not traveled dozens of kilometers before they have to stop......

"It's good to get used to it, otherwise, you won't be able to walk for so long from Shanghai to here, right?" Yu Haitao smiled bitterly.

The matter was caused by Xie Kai's unit, who is to blame?

At this time, hundreds of kilometers away from the 537 frigate, China's southernmost military airport, the lights were brilliant, and many people looked at the sky at the edge of the airport runway.

When they saw that it was actually a silver-white civil airliner landing on the runway, the waiting crowd suddenly became disappointed.

"Can this thing escort?"

"I don't know what the chief above thinks, let's vacate the hangar, do you need a hangar for such a transport plane?"

"You won't use such a civil aircraft to carry out escort missions, will you? At most, it will be equipped with an aerial gun......

The waiting ground staff were full of contempt.

At first, they thought there was some new and advanced fighter.

Who would have thought that it was a civil airliner.

Even the largest aircraft produced in China cannot fight a war and cannot defend the southern sky of the motherland, so what?

As soon as the Y-10 landed, the ground crews wearing no epaulettes and collar badges quickly came down, and when they were assembling, there was another roar in the dark sky.

"What's that?"

"The Americans are calling, quickly pull the air defense siren ......"

"Quick, let the eighth master take to the air and intercept ......"

When three F-14s circled around the airport at low altitude, everyone could see what kind of plane it was.

F-14！

Fighters of the Americans.

How can the appearance of American fighters here not be worrying?

In Cam Ranh Bay, in the forward command post of the Vietnamese People's Navy, an emergency meeting is now being held, at which Navy Commander Vice Admiral A Van Gang and Political Commissar Rear Admiral Le Van Xuan personally presided over the meeting.
