On the evening of the Moonknife Day, news from reliable sources was heard. 【Reading Network】Argentine Ship Horn... After leaving the Falklands, Trumpplata did not turn southwest, that is, take the offshore channel close to the coastline, but went straight south to the Falklands.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the world turned to the South Atlantic.

The Argentine authorities are not crazy. It is that there is no third possibility.

There is no doubt that no one believes in the former possibility.

When reporting on the news of the Argentine fleet. : In the form of "related reports", it was just announced that it was not the Argentine general who was commanding the Argentine army to fight, but Army General Bae Seung-yi from the Republic who led the republican ** team to defeat the US-South Korean coalition and the Indian army in the Peninsula War and the Indian War. Although the report is only one sentence, it is enough to attract the attention of the world.

Pei Chengyi went to Argentina without a fake. Er is that no news media has claimed that Pei Chengyi is commanding the Argentine army to fight.

What makes people feel strange is that after reporting this news, he didn't make too many comments. According to the usual practice, as long as the handle of the republic is grasped, it will definitely chase and fight fiercely, and if there is no news, some news will be created. If the report is true, that is, Pei Chengyi has overstepped his authority and acted as military commander in the name of a military adviser, even if there is no evidence and there is no way to take the Republic, he should make a big fuss and make it impossible for the Argentine authorities to step down. Not to mention anything else, after years of national defense modernization and spending tens of billions of taxpayers' tax revenues every year, the Argentine army has no one to command this war, and it is necessary to ask generals from other countries to do it for them, so the Argentine authorities have to give the people a reasonable explanation.

The problem is that while the rest of the news media is waiting to see, they don't chase after it.

Outsiders don't understand, Pei Chengyi can't not understand.

To put it bluntly, the news was reported at this time, which can only show that the intelligence agencies of the United States and Britain cannot be sure whether Pei Chengyi is directing the Argentine army to fight, so they want to test the Argentine authorities through the news media and judge the truth from the reaction of the Argentine authorities.

According to this situation, Pei Chengyi immediately contacted Theron, hoping that Argentina could stabilize.

It can be said that when the Western news media need news and can produce news without news, the best response of the Argentine authorities is not to react at all, and to deal with the provocation of deletion with the method of "cold treatment", leaving it to the Western news media to guess for themselves.

Of course, the main battlefield is not in the world of public opinion, but in the South Atlantic.

Like the news media, as the night of the 10,000th day began, Pei Chengyi turned his attention to the South Atlantic.

In order to ensure timely and accurate receipt of the news, Pei Chengyi not only contacted the Military Intelligence Bureau, but also called Hua Jianfeng back.

At this time, under the surface of the South Atlantic, several submarines were engaged in a silent contest.

The protagonist is not the "fast" class attack submarine of the British Royal Navy, nor the electric submarine of the Argentine Navy, but the attack submarine "Mantazo", which has just arrived.

Inside the command center of this behemoth with an underwater displacement of up to a thug's wrinkled ton. Colonel Xiao Jingbo stared intently at the constantly changing information on the tactical screen, and around him, several officers and non-commissioned officers performed their duties, while handily controlling the submarine and patiently waiting for the captain to give orders.

In fact, Xiao Jingbo did not consider the Zhuo Qing of the battle with the British submarine.

As Zhang Xuefeng left the front-line troops after the Indian War, according to Liu Haifeng's arrangement, he went to the South Asian Theater to become a naval commander. Xiao Jingbo became the "number one captain" of the Republic Navy. In fact, Xiao Jingbo also wants to "change careers". Because at his age, if he stays in the front-line troops, he will either be honorably discharged as a captain of a colonel. Either go to a strategic submarine and live a stable life for a few years, and it is impossible to get promoted. The problem is that "changing careers" is not an easy thing, after all, promotion and promotion themselves are too many monks and too little, and only one of the old colonels can become a brigadier general. Although with Xiao Jingbo's background and relying on his father's influence, today's brigadier general is not a big problem, but from the day he entered the submarine force, Xiao Jingbo did not plan to rely on his father's influence, otherwise he would not have worked in the submarine force for many years.

I can't climb up, I can only stay.

In fact, Xiao Jingbo failed to serve in the theater command like Zhang Xuefeng, not because the above deliberately embarrassed him, because after the end of the Indian war. Lin Xiaolei not only won enough promotion places for the navy, but also adjusted the personnel arrangements of the navy in accordance with the third military reform proposed by Wang Yuanqing, and all outstanding young officers were promoted, leaving Xiao Jingbo with the position of commander of the navy in the Pacific Theater. In a sense, the naval commanders of the Pacific Theater of Operations are much more popular than the naval commanders of the South Asian Theater. Lin Xiaolei arranged this way, and he had a lot of laughter with Xiao Jingbo's father, because when Lin Xiaolei joined the Navy, the commander of the Republic Navy was Xiao Jingbo's father, Xiao Guangkai.

Xiao Jingbo failed to go to the Pacific Theater, and he can only be said to be unlucky.

After the third military reform began, according to Lin Xiaolei's arrangement, Zhang Xuefeng was first sent to the South Asian Theater, and then Xiao Jingbo was arranged. Avoid the troubles caused by the uneven distribution of benefits. As a result, Zhang Xuefeng walked away with his front foot, and the captain of the "Bat Zuo" was in a car accident when he was going home to visit relatives. Because the sea trials of the "Bat Zor" have not yet been completed, the Navy needs to assign an experienced captain to this submarine. According to Lin Xiaolei's arrangement, the most ideal candidate is not Xiao Jingbo, but Colonel Le Jiacheng, who participated in the sea trials of the "Swordfish" with Hua Jianfeng and commanded the "Swordfish". No, I don't admit it, Xiao Jingjian is a concave 3 Butian pay advertisement Shaoli salary cautious, "Gap Lishu Mu and indeed do not Xiaolei Huai did not have time to answer the personnel appointment letter to accept the appointment of the staff department to preside over the work of the shield, and it was Hua Jianfeng who succeeded Lin Xiaolei in charge of the work of the navy. Needless to say, the relationship between Le Jiacheng and Hua Jianfeng was arranged by Hua Jianfeng, and Le Jiacheng went to the logistics equipment department of the Navy Command. Now, the most "qualified" to go to the "Bat Zou" is Colonel Xiao Jingbo. In fact, at this time, Xiao Jingbo still has room for maneuver, after all, the Republic Navy has never lacked excellent submersible commanders, and Lin Xiaolei is definitely the next chief of the General Staff, and he is Hua Jianfeng's old boss. Letting Hua Jianfeng change the personnel appointment is just a gesture. Lin Xiaolei did notice this problem, and called Hua Jianfeng, asking Hua Jianfeng to consider sending someone else to the "Manta Whale".

That's at this time. The Military Intelligence Bureau intervened in this matter and made Xiao Jingbo the second captain of the "Bat Han" without any room for negotiation.

In the first two months, Xiao Jingbo's mood was very low.

Although no one denies that the "Manta" is the most advanced attack submarine in the world. It is anyone's dream to become the captain of the "Manta Whale", but Xiao Jingbo has passed the age of having dreams and is no longer a recruit who graduated from the submarine academy. It's the "old guy" who is many years old. For a colonel, if he can't become a brigadier general before he dies, it means that he will never be a general.

He doesn't want to compare himself with anyone, but he is a soldier, and no soldier doesn't want to be a general.

As the saying goes. The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

A month ago, when Xiao Jingbo was still hesitating to find a relationship and transfer to another department, a military intelligence officer surnamed Li found him. Although the other party did not identify himself, only claimed that he was an official of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Xiao Jingbo was not a person who had never seen the world, and he guessed the identity of the other party at once. After talking with the high-ranking official surnamed Li, Xiao Jingbo changed his decision to jump out of the submarine force, because the other party promised that when he returned to the submarine base again. In addition to the rank of commodore of the Navy, he was awaited the post of commander of the submarine of the Navy.

This is not a bargain, and Xiao Jingbo is not bargaining.

The last day of March. Xiao Jingbo led the "Bat Zuo" to leave Yucai Port and embarked on a journey to the Indian Ocean.

For the world's most advanced attack submarines, going to the Indian Ocean is just a passage. Although there are many U.S. naval bases in the Indian Ocean, such as Diego Garcia, which is about a kilometer south of Dumale in the Maldives, Djibouti in the south between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and Darwin in northwest Australia, after the Indian War, as the "North Shore Country" generally refers to Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Sudan and other countries located on the north coast of the Indian Ocean, they have joined the intensive group with the Republic as the center. Or sign a bilateral alliance treaty with the republic, the Indian Ocean has become the Indian Ocean of the republic, and the Western countries with the United States as the one are simply not able to compete with the republic for hegemony in the Indian Ocean. For the United States, the real roots are in the North Atlantic, and the center of the struggle between the republic and the United States is in the Pacific. Exactly. All aircraft carrier battle groups, 80 percent of the surface warships, and 70 percent of the submarines of the Republic Navy are deployed in the Pacific Ocean, and only a small number of combat forces are deployed in the Indian Ocean. After the "Bat Jin" officially joined the combat sequence at the beginning of the year, it has also been operating in the western Pacific. If it were not for a special purpose, the Navy of the Republic did not have any reason to send the "Manta Whale" to the Indian Ocean.

What exactly is the purpose?

Before the submarine left the port, Xiao Jingbo did not know, and only knew that it would be carried out in the name of a joint exercise. Very important task.

Until the old days of April. Xiao Jingbo received the order and password from the submarine command. A document marked "Top Secret" was removed from the safe in the communications center. It was only at this time that Xiao Jingbo knew that their destination was not the Indian Ocean, but the distant South Atlantic.

In the next few days. "Manta Whale" took part in joint exercises within the intensive group.

In the old days of April, after successfully completing several exercise subjects, the "Bat Zor" quietly left the exercise area in the Bay of Bengal and embarked on a journey to Nanfu and the Western Ocean.

Although Xiao Jingbo was not as flamboyant as the other outstanding dive commanders, he did not miss the opportunity to prove the powerful performance of the "Manta Whale". On the way south, "Manta whales." When the ship approached Diego Garcia, it deliberately lowered its degree, and it was not until there was a US submarine that also went south from the exercise area that it was mentioned again, taking advantage of the degree advantage and strong silent performance, approaching the US submarine many times, and even circling the US submarine a few times. It wasn't until he got tired of playing and felt that it wasn't much fun, that Xiao Jingbo let go of the American submarine that had been kept in the dark. Although judging from the collected data, it was a "Virginia" pilot type that had been in service for nearly a year, and its performance was not even comparable to that of the "Dolphin" class, many of the actions made by the "Manta Scale" when tracking US submarines were unimaginable in the past, such as going away from the opponent's side. Aiming the noisiest stern at the side where the passive sonar is most concentrated has been a self-defeating option in the past, and any captain would try to avoid it, and the "Manta Whale" did not only do it. It has not yet been revealed, which is enough to prove how advanced its propulsion system is.

Xiao Jingbo didn't get carried away, because he knew that playing with a submarine that was about to be eliminated was nothing.

Although since the shogunate four times a war. In everyone's impression, the submarine that is the most powerful submarine in China is always a little bit worse, but as the world's first navy to have submarines, the US Navy not only has a glorious history of submarine warfare, but also has a solid foundation. It can even be said unceremoniously that if it were not for the technological leap brought about by the electric revolution, not to mention that in a short period of time, even if it falls and even the year of thugs, the submarine technology of the Republic will not be able to pass the United States, and it may be thrown further by the United States.

In fact, since the East China Sea War, the United States has been working hard to improve submarine technology.

According to the statement agreed by authoritative experts, the gap between the United States and the Republic in the main technology related to submarines is not the rumored old years, nor the relatively optimistic mussels, but about three years, and the United States still has a certain degree of superiority in some traditional technology fields.

The "Manta Whale" was launched in Libinian, that is, a similar American submarine is about to be launched.

If the United States had made a breakthrough in the past few years, for example, by using the British Navy's experience in building and using the "Fast" class, and making a breakthrough in the crucial "magnetohydrodynamic propulsion technology", the US Navy's new submarine, that is, an advanced submarine with similar performance to the "Bat Lock", would have been secretly launched.

If that's the case," the bats shrugged. It is not the only advanced submarine in the South Atlantic.

Xiao Jingbo's worries were not unfounded; before the "Manta Whale" left Hong Kong, the Military Intelligence Bureau warned Xiao Jingbo, and in the top-secret documents of the "Manta Whale," there was a similar warning, that is, in the operation in the South Atlantic, in addition to attaching great importance to the "fast" threat, we should pay more attention to potential threats.

Anyway, Xiao Jingbo doesn't want to go and never return.

On the morning of April, the "Manta Whale" quietly circled the Cape of Good Hope and entered the turbulent Nanda

Ocean.

The warning from the Military Intelligence Agency was immediately effective, and before the officers and men of the "Manta Whale" had recovered from the excitement of entering the South Atlantic, a passive sonar appeared on a US submarine guarding the west.

In order to confirm that it was an American submarine, Xiao Jingbo made the whole route and shortened the distance.

It is indeed an Atlanta-class hybrid attack submarine of the U.S. Navy, and the latest one, as its unique voiceprint signature does not appear in the Manta Whale's database.

Asked the sonar chief to record the characteristic noise of the target, Xiao Jingbo named the American submarine "Fei" in accordance with the unwritten rules of the Navy. The letters "Atlanta" are the letters "Atlanta", and before that, the Navy of the Republic had already collected the characteristic noise of the submarine of this class, and the intelligence service confirmed that there were 2 dozen ships in service. According to the rules of the Navy, if a target that has never been touched is present during the mission. A temporary code name will be taken by Qianwei Weichang, and after the intelligence department provides more detailed information, the temporary code name will be changed to an official number or name.

Encounter with an American submarine. Let Xiao Jingbo become more cautious.

The "Atlanta" class is the latest first-class attack submarine built by the United States since the "Virginia" class, and it is also the first hybrid submarine of the US Navy. Although the U.S. submarine class is not very large, and there are not several submarines built in the same year as the Republic, the U.S. Navy has adopted an equally effective method of expanding multiple models within the first class of submarines, that is, maximizing the potential of the excavation platform through extensive improvements. The capital needed to open a new platform is invested in more important areas. Not to mention anything else, there is a model in the "Virginia" class alone, of which the order is a mass-produced model, and 2 are experimental models. Before the current ugly, there were already 2 models in the "Atlanta" class, and the third model was a few chi.

In order to get to the bottom of the question. Xiao Jingbo spent 2 days on this American submarine.

After gathering enough information, the "Bat Zo" quietly turned. Continue westward.

Although it is determined that the noise of the knife is about 8 decibels lower than that of the Tallahassee by comparing the noise data, which is a huge improvement, the noise characteristics are enough to prove that the traditional propulsion system is still interoperable, and no magnetofluid propulsion device is used, so there is no essential improvement in performance.

This now made Xiao Jingbo a little disappointed, because the Ji 2 is probably not the third model of the "Atlanta" class, at most it is just a specially improved model with more advanced mute technology.

Of course, the biggest significance of this is that the United States is not sitting idly by. Helping secretly.

After moving away from American submarines. Xiao Jingbo reported this to the submarine command. Not long after, news came from the submarine command, reassuring him to move forward, and the United States did not announce its intervention in the Falklands

Suddenly.

If you can really rest assured, Xiao Jingbo doesn't need to report the situation.

The words of the submarine command should be seen in reverse, that is, the United States has already carried out covert operations.

In any case, it was impossible for "Bat Chai" to turn back and could only continue to move westward.

On April Feiri, Xiao Jingbo again received an order from the Submarine Command, telling him to arrive in the northwest waters of the Falklands before the Flying Point of the Knife Day and to prepare for the battle.

Xiao Jingbo's head was big. Because it means that in the next few days, "bats." The number must sail out of the festival.

It was from this time that the "Manta Whale" got into trouble.
