Chapter 42: The Secret Force
※ Zhou Jiaran Pei Chengyi made very intersecting preparations, made. 【】But still avoid the encounter only, with four right guests.
At the pre-war meeting of the general staff of the three armies of Argentina, Pei Chengyi was not given the right to speak, and he did not even have the opportunity to express his opinion. After a few hours, except for a few chats with Theron, Pei Chengyi has been playing the role of the audience and has not received the expected performance opportunity.
Sometimes, being an audience isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Although Pei Chengyi has always believed that the Argentine army, which has not fought for many years, is seriously inexperienced, the battle plan drawn up by the general staff of the three Argentine armed services is clear and clear-sighted.
Not to mention anything else, in the part aimed at the British Expeditionary Fleet, the General Staff of the three Argentine armed services clearly pointed out that it is necessary to make full use of the rapid assault capability of the air force's attack aircraft group and the surprise attack capability of the navy's submarines to annihilate the British Expeditionary Fleet in the form of joint operations and a combination of various forces, and also put forward a tactical plan, that is, to first use long-range anti-ship missiles by submarines to attack the British Expeditionary Fleet in relatively safe sea areas, so as to consume the British Expeditionary Fleet's active defense capability, and the attack aircraft group will take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Dismantle the defenses of the British fleet, and eventually deliver a fatal blow by submarines. If you don't take into account reality, from a "purely academic" point of view, Argentina's tactical plan is not only not a problem. It's very valuable, but when you think about the realities, the results are very different.
After listening to it for several hours, Pei Chengyi's biggest feeling was that the Afghan army had fully absorbed the war experience of the republican ** team.
In a sense, the Falklands conflict is the same as the "East China Sea conflict" that broke out between the Republic of China and Japan over the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands a few years ago. Most similar. Although Pei Chengyi was not the commander of the conflict in the East China Sea, he had already served in the General Staff at that time, participated in relevant work, and was very aware of the entire process of the conflict. Relatively speaking, the military strength of the Republic at that time was also relatively close to that of Argentina today. That is, there is no strong enough sea force, so it can only rely on a relatively strong air force and submarine force. More importantly, at that time, the Republic had not yet completed its military modernization, there were many problems in the command system, and the coordinated combat capabilities of the various participating units were very limited, which is very similar to the situation of the Afghan army now. It is probably for this reason that when drawing up the battle plan, the General Staff of the three Argentine services fully "borrowed" the tactics adopted by the Republican Navy and Air Force in the conflict in the East China Sea, and believed that it could win with it.
I love the ugly heart
The problem is that Argentina is not a republic, and the current Argentine army is not the republican team of the year ago.
If nothing else, do the Argentine Navy and Air Force have enough good soldiers? What's more. Before the conflict in the East China Sea erupted, the Republic had already trained its military in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, creating one of the most powerful air forces in East Asia.
There are no such foundations. On what basis did Argentina adopt the tactics of the republic?
It is a pity that the Argentine military did not have the idea of listening to the advisers.
In Pei Chengyi's opinion. The Argentine military is completely "emboldened." ”
In the morning, Liu Xiaobin had already mentioned on the phone that the military aid provided by the Republic to Argentina was more than just a whole shipload of arms. As well as a group of military advisers, but real help.
Along with the "Poseidon" into the South Atlantic, there was also a smashing attack submarine of the Republic Navy!
Because the telephone line is not very secure, Liu Xiaobin did not go into too much detail, but just told Pei Chengyi to be ready to meet a few special advisers, and when formulating relevant plans, he would calculate the military strength provided by the Republic to avoid unnecessary mistakes
It can be seen from this. The General Staff of the Argentine armed forces had long known that the Republic would be of greater help in secret.
With the support of the Republic, what else does the Argentine military have to worry about?
What makes Pei Chengyi a little puzzled is that since Argentina needs to rely on the military assistance provided by the republic, why should it snub the republic's military advisers?
Perhaps, the top leaders of the two sides reached a secret agreement.
April Hitter Morning. Under the watchful eye of the people, the "Poseidon" slowly sailed into the port of Buenos Aires.
Because the Argentine Navy sent two destroyers and a frigate to meet the "Poseidon," the three attack submarines that were secretly protecting the "Poseidon" along the way turned around many hours ahead of schedule and entered the submarine depot at the Argentine naval base in Nuevo Bay about four hours before the "Poseidon" entered the port.
In the afternoon of the same day, Pei Chengyi met Hua Liefeng, who came in a hurry.
What surprised Pei Chengyi a little was that the vice admiral, who had been designated by Lin Xiaolei as the next commander of the navy, did not come to Argentina as a tourist according to the arrangement of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but took a submarine and sailed under the sea for many days before coming to Argentina. Thinking of Hua Jianfeng's background, Pei Chengyi also felt that there was nothing strange about it. Although there have been many commanders from the submarine force in the history of the Republic Navy, Hua Jianfeng is the only one who has worked on both submarines and aircraft carriers. And all of them are admirals who have achieved impressive results. What's more, to this day, Hua Jianfeng still holds a number of submarine combat records.
In Pei Chengyi's opinion. Hua Jianfeng wanted to take this opportunity to reminisce about the feeling when Li Qian was slightly long.
"How were you doing along the way?" Pei Chengyi personally made a cup of green tea for Hua Jianfeng.
If nothing else. Within a few months, Hua Jianfeng would be promoted to admiral and become commander of the navy. Although in terms of military rank, Pei Chengyi, who is already a second-level general, is one step higher than Hua Jianfeng, who is still a lieutenant general and is only a third-level general after being promoted, Pei Chengyi is an "idle" general who does not have much real power. Hua Jianfeng is a popular figure in the navy. The gap between the two is very obvious. Even if Pei Chengyi will not consider the navy to eat, and in the foreseeable future, Huajian is a thug
, is getting a higher position than the commander of the Navy, to the future commander of the Navy II "will not be wrong."
"It went well, I had a little trouble, but I didn't mess things up."
king
"What do you mean?" Pei Chengyi sat down and handed the prepared cigarette to Hua Jianfeng. "I brought it from China, and I haven't smoked it."
Hua Jianfeng unceremoniously nodded one and said: "When passing by the Cape of Good Hope, the American submarine that has been trailing has wanted to get close to the Poseidon several times, probably wanting to take advantage of the complex climate and environment of the Cape of Good Hope to create an accident for some thugs. He was buried in the sea, and he left no handle. ”
"How did it turn out?"
"What else? Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "The existing three submarines are" Poseidon. After the escort, the American submarine retreated. ”
Pei Chengyi also laughed. said: "How long are you going to stay this time?" ”
I love the calendar
"It depends, it's done. Two or three months, if you don't do well, I'm afraid you'll have to stay for a while longer. ”
Pei Chengyi nodded slightly, and heard another meaning of these words, that is, the war will definitely break out in two to three months. The main task of Hua Jianfeng and the three attack submarines that accompanied him was to assist Argentina in dealing with British submarines that had gone south in advance in the early stage of the war, and if necessary, they would also participate in combat operations against the British expeditionary fleet, and even deal a fatal blow to the Argentine Navy in battle. According to Hua Jianfeng's meaning, the so-called good work means that the British expeditionary fleet went south as scheduled, and after arriving at the warring sea area, it was heavily damaged, and the Argentine navy and air force were able to complete the next combat operations alone. There is no longer a need for republican submarines to work together; The so-called bad work is that Argentina cannot support Adou, and it cannot defeat the British expeditionary fleet without the assistance of the Republic, and must rely on the Republic submarines.
Hua Jianfeng took two puffs of his cigarette. said: "Before leaving, Lao Li talked to me alone, and asked me to listen to your arrangement, to be precise." It was the submarine that I brought to obey your command. ”
"Didn't you obey the command of the Argentine Navy?"
"Argentine Navy?" Hua Jianfeng sneered and said, "It's not that I discriminate against the allies, I really want our submarines to obey the command of the Argentine Navy, don't say that I don't agree, and Lao Lin won't agree either." ”
Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "Tell me about your situation." ”
"There's nothing to introduce, there's something in front of here." Hua Jianfeng took out a handheld computer from his bag, handed it to Pei Chengyi, who was sitting opposite, and said, "According to the requirements of the Military Intelligence Bureau." We did not make sorties of the most advanced attack submarines. Instead, three "sailfish" were sent. Level all-electric attack submersible
"All-electric?" Pei Chengyi immediately frowned.
"No way, who told the Argentine Navy that there are only all-electric submarines?"
Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Hua Jianfeng meant.
The "Sailfish" class is an all-electric submarine specially developed for export for the international market. Because according to the relevant international publicity, submarines equipped with controllable fusion reactors are included in the category of "nuclear submarines", and their exports are restricted. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of some countries that are unable to introduce hybrid attack submarines, the Beihai Shipyard has developed an all-electric attack submarine of the "Sailfish" class by raising funds from a private joint-stock shipbuilding enterprise controlled by the "Zhongzhong Group". After 7 years, at the end of the design work of the "Sailfish" class, its excellent performance and better cost performance immediately attracted the attention of dozens of navies, and even the Republic Navy was interested in this kind of electric submarine with a modular design, the displacement can be adjusted between jumping to a silent ton, and different types of electric submarines can be derived according to different needs.
Because whether or not it can be recognized by the Navy of the Republic is an indication of whether the performance of the submarine is advanced, the Beihai Shipyard reached an agreement with the Navy of the Republic before officially building the "Sailfish" to sell the Kankan "Sailfish" class in the form of a fire sale, and the Navy served as the image spokesperson of the "Sailfish" class, and promoted this submarine for the Beihai Shipyard on various occasions.
There is no doubt that this contract is attractive enough for the Navy in the event that the shipyard sells it below the reduced price. What's more, at that time the Navy needed exactly a couple of "special submarines" for special tasks. In addition, the major shipyards of the republic have long since switched to the production of hybrid attack submarines, and none of them competes with the North Sea shipyards. The two sides hit it off, and the Navy first proposed to build a "sailfish negative light" type in accordance with the needs of performing special operations missions. Because the Beihai Shipyard is a private enterprise that has not been established for a long time, the scale is very limited, and it can only build broken submarines at the same time, so it cannot meet the needs of the navy, so it can only divide the contract for the construction of the submarine into two executions, and first build the broken force type for the navy. In the year of the bumper hand, the Navy suddenly changed the contract, requiring the latter three ships to become more powerful, that is, the most balanced ocean-going type in the "Sailfish" class, according to the situation at that time, this adjustment of the Navy is very likely to be preparing for the later war in India. Because the construction of the 3 Cut was much more difficult, none of the three strong ships were delivered to the Republic Navy until the end of the Indian War.
For trading at a loss, the North Sea shipyard certainly does not have much motivation.
In fact, the advertising effect of the Republic Navy has brought far more benefits to the North Sea shipyards than the cost of selling submarines at a loss.
You must know that when the "Sailfish" class came out, the Republic was making full preparations for war, and the Wuhan Shipyard, Nanjing Shipyard and Jiangnan Shipyard, which have the most experience in building submarines, all focused on hybrid attack submarines, and the two types of electric boats that were previously exported were lagging behind. In other words, if the shipyards of the republic cannot come up with better electric submarines, there will be a vacuum in the global submarine market of nearly sixty percent. No doubt. Such a huge market share is enough for a "country's arms dealers to feel crazy." You know, with the submarines in service between the power hitter Lang Yuan will be decommissioned between the year of Liwu and the year of Liwan, the total value of the global submarine market is more than 100 million dollars. All it takes is a small market share to keep any shipyard busy. What's more, many countries can only purchase submarines from the republic, and it is even more urgent to hope that the shipyards of the republic can come up with new works.
It can be said that it is precisely because of this market opportunity that Zhongzhong Group will enter the Beihai Shipyard, raise billions of yuan alone without military support, open the "Sailfish" class submarine, and spend billions of yuan to "hire" the Republic Navy as its image ambassador.
In the year, the "Sailfish" class obtained an export license and officially entered the international market.
Although initially. Because most countries are skeptical about this kind of submarine designed and built by a little-known shipyard, and most of the active submarines in many countries can serve until about the year of Liwu, and there is no potential demand for immediate replacement, so the export work of the "Sailfish" class has encountered great trouble, for example, in the bidding for the purchase of new submarines by the Pakistan Navy, the "Swordfish" class lost to the "Swordfish" class improvement of the Wuhan Shipyard is not the world's first all-electric submarine commanded by Hua Jianfeng. Rather, Wuhan Shipyard opened the first conventional submarine equipped with a composite battery in response to the needs of the international market, and lost a huge contract with a total value of nearly 100 million yuan. However, with the formal procurement contract between the Navy of the Republic and the Beihai Shipyard submarines, the construction of the Breaker type, and the rapid increase in the prestige of the "Sailfish" class in the international market, more and more countries have become interested in this all-electric submarine.
The first to buy the "Sailfish" class was the Argentine Navy.
In the year of the blade, the Argentine Navy and the North Sea Shipyard submarine had a huge contract for the export of female submarines with a total value of 100 million yuan. In addition to the first four StrongKnife ships being built at the North Sea Shipyard, the other four will be built in Argentina with technical support from the North Sea Shipyard. The North Sea Shipyard will also provide facilities for the Argentine Navy and provide life-cycle maintenance services. It is precisely because the Argentine Navy chose the 3 type that, after the year of the thug, the Navy of the Republic did not choose the open-mouth type with the largest displacement, but chose the relatively mature warp type.
Of course, subject to export controls. There is a big difference between the strong model sold to Argentina and the frame built for the navy.
Compared with the two, the Argentine Navy's Shao uses "discretionary special steel, with a maximum diving depth of O meters, while the Republic Navy's Nuhui uses concave special steel, with a maximum diving depth of only one meter; It is equipped with a more powerful air-conditioning system and a photoelectric mast that is up to a meter long. A vertical missile launcher with four fiber-optic guided anti-aircraft missiles was deployed behind the enclosure of the command platform, eliminating the vertical firing system located in front of the enclosure. A relatively inexpensive central fire control system was used, and so on. Of course. On top of that, the recess is equipped with a Class 8 composite battery, and in order to reduce the cost of construction. The total amount of battery is only 3 denier stew, so that its endurance is only a knife nautical mile, and the maximum submarine pilot. The Republic Navy is equipped with old-grade composite batteries, and the total assembly has reached a prosperous stew, with a maximum endurance of four nautical miles and a maximum submarine. Because Chi adopts the "conformal battery deployment method", that is, on the premise of not destroying the structure of the submarine, try to use the space in the boat to lay out composite batteries, so Chi can carry much more armament than Li Au under the same displacement, and carry out combat readiness patrol tasks with a longer duration. Of course, in order to reduce costs. It has reduced some secondary performance indicators, such as the use of much cheaper, knife-type special steel, the lack of fiber-optic guided missiles for anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and so on.
Overall. The Argentine Navy's Dent is one of the most advanced all-electric submarines in the world.
The Navy of the Republic did not send more advanced and powerful hybrid attack submarines over, but sent Shan "Sailfish" over in order to keep secrets to the greatest extent.
correct
Although the strength ratio and main performance are very different, they are derived from the same platform and have similar displacement. It also has exactly the same form factor. And even more, according to the tests of the Navy of the Republic. The underwater noise characteristics of both are almost identical. The only way to distinguish between the two types of submarines in the depths of the sea beyond sighting is to force them to dive beyond the joint.
After seeing the Zijing brought by Hua Jianfeng, Pei Chengyi raised his head.
Hua Jianfeng has been waiting patiently.
"Where do you live now?"
"The submarine officers and men are at the Argentine submarine base in Pilamides. As required, they have already changed into the uniforms of the Argentine Navy and will definitely not leave the camp, and even often do not leave the barracks. Hua Jianfeng paused slightly and said, "I don't have to go back for the time being, I have to stay here for a few days." ”
"Ventilation with the Argentine Navy?"
I love ugliness and weeps
Hua Jianfeng nodded. said: "This is specially arranged by Lao Li. ”
"Then you can stay with us for the time being, and after meeting Teresescu, we'll talk about it.
Hua Jianfeng didn't say much. Before leaving the Republic, he learned some information from Li Cunxun and knew that Pei Chengyi was not happy in Argentina.
