Chapter 1397: Contradictions in the Fleet

But Rear Admiral Yushi's joy did not take a few days before he became depressed: these submarines were so speechless that they were just a pile of rags, they were slow enough to keep up with the speed of the aircraft carriers, not to mention the noise, and the most depressing thing to him was that these submarines broke down from time to time, and several times the training was because the submarines were broken, and the whole fleet could only wait for them, so that the training project could not be completed at all. In order to wait for them to catch up, the whole fleet had to slow down to ten knots, a pitiful speed that simply made the officers and men who were baking on the deck under the scorching sun scold.

The noise emitted by the submarine was as high as 142 decibels, almost blocking out every movement under the water of the aircraft carrier battle group. This made the sonar soldiers on anti-submarine ships, frigates and other warships complain, saying that their noise made their ears numb, and they could not hear other movements around them. They also smiled wryly and said that they didn't know whether the purpose of inviting the submarine was to protect the aircraft carrier battle group or to cover for a potential enemy.

If it weren't for the sinking of the "Matterlaus" aircraft carrier battle group because it was infiltrated by the submarine, and if it weren't for the fear that they would repeat their mistakes, the officers and men of the fleet would certainly have encouraged the fleet commander Yushi to drive them out and let them go as far as they could.

All in all, these submarine officers and men have now become objects of disgust for the officers and men of the fleet. The officers and men of the submarine were also in their own belly, and they were originally under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense, and they had always been on high and drinking spicy food and spicy food at their own bases, or they were carrying out tasks alone, or temporarily escorting the fleet. It's very free. But. Now it is being asked from the Ministry of Defense by the commander of the Eastern Fleet Command, Ramohan. Who would be happy to become a branch under the Eastern Fleet Command, and to become the eagle dog of this fleet's caretaker?

Isn't your fleet also some rags bought from abroad, what qualifications do you have to say about us? Our submarines are noisy, can you blame us? You have a kind of money to buy us the latest submarines, and buy us new nuclear submarines that have just been produced by the United States and the Soviet Union, in that case, our noise will not be low? Aren't we going to be faster?

Depend on. We ourselves think that submarines run slowly, slowly, and may be killed by enemy submarines who don't know where they are at any time, if we can run faster, who wouldn't want to, but this thing is not produced by us in India, we can only tinker at all, not overhaul, and the performance of submarines can only get worse and worse over time. Now in order to follow the pace of the fleet as much as possible, we are forced to sail with a full load of sickness, and our hearts hang in our throats. I'm afraid when they fail. If your warship breaks down, it's just drifting around at sea. There is no danger for you to stay on it, and you can still open champagne and hold a party, but once our submarine breaks down, it is very likely to be fatal, for example, because of engine failure, the whole boat may be suffocated due to lack of oxygen, and it may sink to the bottom of the sea, and all the officers and men will be crushed into thin cakes by high-pressure seawater.

You have the ability to run by yourself, we are like this, you can do whatever you want.

Later, because the speed of the submarine was too slow, and the "Mumbai" aircraft carrier took a sliding leap like an undulation, and the carrier-based aircraft needed the aircraft carrier to travel at high speed in the wind in order to take off better and safer, the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, Yu Xi, simply turned a blind eye, did not emphasize the cooperation between the aircraft carrier fleet and the submarines, and acquiesced in allowing them to swim slowly behind the gongs and drums, or ordered them to go to the training area in advance and stay on the bottom of the sea in that area to wait for the aircraft carrier fleet to come.

In short, within a few days, the aircraft carrier fleet and the submarine fleet began to disconnect.

This is not the stupidity of the Indian Navy, nor is it that they are not united, but this is the inevitable consequence of the purchase of foreign weapons, especially when these weapons come from different countries and are purchased from different eras, even if the United States or the Soviet Union themselves take this pile of weapons and cannot combine them into an effective weapon system, they can only fight separately or conduct individual training, let alone India -- they simply do not have any conditions to combine.

On this afternoon, the "Mumbai" aircraft carrier battle group ended the take-off and landing training held in the northern part of the Indian Ocean and began to return home, because a Chinese mixed fleet will come from the Strait of Malacca into the Indian Ocean, and his fleet will go to the eastern part of the Indian Ocean to "meet", so this training can be said to be the last routine training in this period, and the next carrier-based aircraft takeoff and landing will be a demonstration-like action in the face of the Chinese mixed fleet, in order to deter the Chinese fleet to be honest, and to make the Chinese fleet understand that they are only here to be guests in the Indian Ocean. Guests must obey the host's command and obey the rules, otherwise they may be driven out of the Indian Ocean by the Indian host.

The Indian Ocean is India's Indian Ocean, although the United States and the Soviet Union have not yet recognized that they rely on their powerful naval forces to run rampant in the oceans, including the Indian Ocean, but other countries should know, and China should be even more clear, because India has always been overtly or secretly taking China as an imaginary enemy, and now India is at war with China's little brother Pakistan, at this sensitive time, what is the Chinese fleet doing here, isn't it to oppose the Indian Navy? Isn't it just to support Pakistan?

After Yuki handed over the command to his deputy, he walked to his lounge and turned on the TV while drinking the drink brought by the orderly. His attention was drawn as he inadvertently swept over the television screen, which was actually playing news about the Chinese navy's large-scale military exercises in the East China Sea, showing China's two newly built aircraft carriers, several destroyers, frigates, and supply ships. Five swarthy nuclear submarines also appeared around the fleet......

Looking at China's brand-new and mighty aircraft carriers, looking at the white and strict frigates, and looking at the huge supply ships, You Xi couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, and he really wanted to have a fleet that was completely produced by his own country, and all warships could cooperate seamlessly. Only in this way can the aircraft carrier battle group have strong combat effectiveness and survivability, and can it produce a strong deterrent force for the enemy.

Yuxi knows that his fleet is not small, and its deterrent power is also strong, but the target is only small countries, especially countries with weak naval strength, and they are not even rookies in the eyes of the Soviet Union and the United States and other big countries, and they will not bird India's so-called aircraft carrier battle group at all. Although China's aircraft carrier battle group has not yet formed combat effectiveness, although there are only a few carrier-based aircraft on the decks of the two aircraft carriers that are still painted yellow, the domineering spirit it shows has far surpassed that of his aircraft carrier battle group, especially the five nuclear submarines that appear around them make no country dare to underestimate them: If these five nuclear submarines are powerful, the nuclear warheads they carry are enough to destroy the entire earth! Who would dare not be afraid?

After watching these broadcast pictures, Yushi was shocked, jealous and sad, feeling that India really needs to go a long, long way to catch up with China, or that India now only has an aircraft carrier battle group to surpass China's current naval strength, once their aircraft carrier battle group forms combat effectiveness, with their advanced carrier-based aircraft, China will leave India far behind, the so-called to go a long, long way, just to comfort the Indians themselves, the actual situation is that the farther you go, the more time you take, China will surpass India more, and time is really on China's side, not India.

At this time, the host of the American television station was talking energetically: "......, this time China has uncharacteristically announced their military exercises, especially the display of two aircraft carriers that have not formed combat effectiveness in front of the world, and the display of those secret nuclear submarines, the intention is obvious, that is, to show off force, that is, to deter India, but also to support Pakistan, a Chinese ally, to support Pakistan's crumbling morale."

India did not have a good time during this time, although their army and air force had the upper hand in the battle with Pakistan, and even a little to the surprise of the Indian military, but their high hopes and thought that they were powerful navy suffered Waterloo, and their 'Matlaus' aircraft carrier battle group was almost completely wiped out by an unidentified submarine. The Indian Navy has not yet recovered from its grief, and the Chinese Navy has shown its strength again at this time, and it has to be said that the Indian Navy is in pain.

China's small mixed fleet is about to reach the Strait of Malacca and will enter the Indian Ocean in two days. If this mixed fleet had entered the Indian Ocean a few days ago, it would have been obvious that no one would have noticed it, and many people, especially the naval powers, would have ignored its existence, even India would have deliberately turned a blind eye to it, and although India may not dare to annihilate it in one fell swoop, it certainly would not have been regarded as a real adversary.

However, now that it is no longer optional, not only will the world be watching it and watching its every move, but India will have to send a powerful fleet to watch over it, watch out for it, and probably even send its most powerful carrier battle group, the USS Mumbai, to accompany it through the Indian Ocean until this little mixed fleet is bored and goes home.

In this way, China should laugh out loud, because their purpose of attracting Indian naval forces, dispersing the Indian navy, and reducing pressure on Pakistan has been fully achieved. What should India do? Our correspondent interviewed the Indian military for this. The following is the Indian Defense Ministry spokesperson's view on the Chinese exercise. ……”

The spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense is a career military officer in his fifties, and Yushi knows him, but when he sees him standing in the speaker's seat in a serious manner, he shows a sarcastic look.

The spokesman naturally didn't know Yuxi's expression, he smiled and looked at the reporters in front of him, and said calmly: "Our Indian military has also noticed China's military exercise, although their camp is strong in this military exercise, but this is their routine exercise, our Indian army does not need to pay attention to anything, let alone have any impact on our ongoing just war."
