Major General Yushi coughed and said, "Not necessarily, it's just because you have this expectation in your heart, so this speculation will arise in your mind. How can you say that this short voyage can be extended indefinitely by you to hundreds of nautical miles? ......, it may not turn around and come back, and the Chinese destroyers may not go straight on their current course. ”

Although Major General Yushi quickly denied the chief of staff's speculation, he himself had more thoughts and expectations in his heart. After looking at the charts for a while, he silently left the operations command room and went back to his room to rest.

The noise of the "San Juan" nuclear submarine that appeared just now was naturally played by a torpedo fired by the Chinese submarine No. 031.

Jiang Haitao and the others had already received a message from Pakistani spies on the radio and learned that the Indian Navy, especially the "Mumbai" aircraft carrier battle group, had tacitly acknowledged the existence of US nuclear submarines on the bottom of the sea, and that the officers and men of the entire fleet were happy and excited to have US nuclear submarines escorting them.

At the same time, Jiang Haitao and the others also found that since the appearance of the fake "San Juan" nuclear submarine, the Indian aircraft carrier battle group has slowly relaxed its monitoring of the seabed, and has become even less concerned about its own submarines that are noisy and slow.

In the past, the aircraft carrier battle group used to let the submarines stand in front of the station to conduct search and vigilance, but now it is much more casual, sometimes the submarines go ahead, and sometimes the fleet swaggers forward alone, just as the "Mattlaus" aircraft carrier battle group did not have an accident before.

Even because of the belief that there is an American nuclear submarine escort under the seabed, their anti-submarine forces on the surface and in the air have weakened, or rather, they are not so serious. In particular, when the noise of the "San Juan" nuclear submarine appeared, they simply did not carry out strict anti-submarine maneuvers, as if they were afraid that their anti-submarine maneuvers would disturb the US nuclear submarine, for fear of upsetting the Americans.

Ma Yanshu looked at the chart and said sullenly: "Our plan has been executed very well, and the results have exceeded our expectations, why do we still release the bait, why do we have to give up a destroyer?" We can dive in now, we can sink their 'Mumbai', we can get out of the way, and even if we have difficulty getting out, we can let another submarine help us and cover our retreat. ”

Jiang Haitao said with a smile: "Don't beat around the bush when you kid speak, don't say so high-sounding in front of me, don't you just want to take this credit alone?" ”

Both the deputy captain and the commissar burst out laughing.

Ma Yanshu snorted embarrassedly and said, "Don't I cherish our warship? Although the destroyer is an old ship that is about to be scrapped, there are not many people in it, and most of them have been evacuated, but after all, it is still a warship, and there is no guarantee that no one will be injured if the torpedo hits it, right? Besides, this is a discredit to our army, and there is no need to do this. ”

Jiang Haitao smiled and didn't speak, but sat next to him and drank tea.

The deputy captain smiled: "Aren't we in China reasonable and responsible? What we hope is not to shoot the first shot. If they don't hit us, hehe, how can we be embarrassed to hit them? Besides, if we do this, we will not only sink their US nuclear submarine "San Juan" logically, but also drive a wedge between them and India. That's just two more days. ”

Sixteen hours later, the destroyer that China had taken the lead in entering the Indian Ocean was attacked by two torpedoes from an unknown submarine, one missed, and the other hit the bow of the destroyer, blowing off a section more than two meters long from its bow, leaving a large hole in the hull of the boat that was one meter square, and also tearing off the gun emplacements in front.

The captain had ordered the ship to abandon the ship, and all those who survived the warship had been transferred to the lifeboats, and there were merchant ships nearby that received the distress signal and were heading there to prepare for rescue.

The Chinese side issued a statement at the first time, strongly condemning the submarines of certain countries for deliberately creating incidents and deliberately adding a terrifying atmosphere to the already unstable situation in the world. The Chinese side decided to speed up the mixed fleet and rush to the wrecked area, seriously investigate the cause of the accident, and must bring the perpetrators to justice, and must make the war fanatics pay the price of blood. At the same time, we also hope that certain countries will not rely on their own strong armed forces and advanced equipment to do whatever they want, because doing so will only lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.

At the same time, the world is also like a boiling oil pot all of a sudden, and all kinds of news are flying all over the sky. The media still speculates about who is responsible and why they attacked the Chinese warship. Most people speculate that the Indian Navy did it, because only they had the motive to sink the ** ship. Although their submarine surname can be too bad, it is impossible for this kind of submarine to get close to the Chinese ** ship under normal circumstances, but this time China sent only a warship, and it is an old destroyer with weak anti-submarine and air defense capabilities, plus the Chinese ** people are careless, and they rushed to the Indian Ocean near the equator to investigate, thinking that no one would attack them, so they were exploited by the Indian submarine and let their submarine ambush on the route that the destroyer was going to pass, so it succeeded in one fell swoop.

There are also some people who speculate that this is the work of the US submarine, and only the US nuclear submarine will do it so cleanly and neatly, leaving no room for the destroyer to fight back. If it is an Indian submarine, although it can carry out a sneak attack by means of ambush, it is impossible to retreat after a sneak attack, and it is impossible to escape safely in front of the Chinese destroyer, an anti-submarine master, and the Indian submarine does not have the ability to do so. Chinese torpedoes can lock onto the opponent's noisy submarine until it is destroyed.

Moreover, this conclusion can be drawn from the analysis of the words of the spokesman of the Chinese side. China has identified the perpetrators as those countries that rely on their own strong military force and their own advanced weapons. Compared with China, there is only one country that can be called powerful in force and has advanced weapons, and that is the United States.

India is also a military power, but this strength is only for South Asian countries, and even for Pakistan, it cannot be said that it is much stronger. In the face of China, India can be said to be a militarily weak country. As for India's weapons, they are pure jokes, how can they be compared with China? Maybe their weapons are given to China for free, and China doesn't want it yet.

Therefore, it can be seen from the tone of the spokesman of the Chinese side that this submarine that sank the Chinese destroyer must be American, and it is a nuclear submarine of the United States. Their words also made many people agree, and many reporters began to check with the relevant departments in the United States.

Some people also say that the culprit of the accident cannot be guessed purely by the words of the Chinese spokesman, and if we only analyze the spokesperson of the Chinese side, we can indeed conclude that it was the US nuclear submarine that sank the Chinese destroyer, but the spokesman of the Chinese side may have put gold on his face and perhaps to cover up the ugliness of his own country's navy, so he did not dare to say by name that the US submarine did it. If it is said that their warship was sunk by an Indian submarine, it will not only disgrace themselves, but it will also undermine the morale of the Chinese Navy and cast a shadow on the hearts of the Chinese officers and men who are waiting in the Strait of Malacca to enter the Indian Ocean.

……

The brawl in the media reached the Indian Navy and the ears of the commander of the USS Mumbai aircraft carrier battle group, and Rear Admiral Yushi and his chief of staff were both happy and worried.

The joy is that the US nuclear submarine "San Juan" really killed the Chinese destroyer as they thought, which shows that the United States really wants to help India and resolutely oppose the Chinese Navy's involvement in the Indian Ocean, and their nuclear submarine is really ready to escort India's aircraft carrier battle group, which has raised their security by several levels, and the security of their own fleet has been greatly improved.

But they are worried that the Indian Navy may face pressure from the Chinese Navy from this point on, and it will have to fight Pakistan while worrying that the Chinese Navy will stab it in the back. If China does not openly tear its face with India, a US nuclear submarine may be able to protect the underwater safety of the "Mumbai" aircraft carrier battle group, but once China tears its face, once it really makes a big move with India, the US nuclear submarine will not be enough at all, and it will not be able to protect the Indian Navy at all.

Now Rear Admiral Yushi and the chief of staff have no idea whether the Yankees are helping India or sowing discord between China and India, and if they really are just trying to provoke a war between China and India, it will not be a happy thing for them, and they will bear the brunt of the wrath of the Chinese navy.

The only thing to be thankful for is that if the Chinese are really angry, it will not be possible to send it out in a short time, relying only on their mixed fleet, this kind of fleet is not strong in combat effectiveness, it cannot defeat the Indian aircraft carrier battle group at all, and the political significance of their coming to the Indian Ocean is far greater than the military significance. If they really want to retaliate, to avenge the sinking of their destroyer, they must send more warships.

They still have some time to relax, they can go to fight Pakistan first.

In the same way as India's Rear Admiral Yushi and others, the US Navy also judged that China's destroyer was sunk by its own "San Juan" nuclear submarine, and in their opinion, only the "San Juan" nuclear submarine has the motive and ability to sink the first ship: Now India is busy with the Indo-Pakistani war and has not won an overwhelming victory, plus the "Matelaus" aircraft carrier battle group died before it left the division, and was smashed by a Chinese submarine, where do they dare to offend China at this time? Where do you dare to engage in a two-sided war? Indians are the most stupid and will not be so stupid.

On the contrary, the "San Juan" nuclear submarine was tasked with fanning the flames between China and India when it set off from its base, in order to provoke a war between the two countries.
