Chapter 952: The Sixth Mobile Fleet in the Persian Gulf I

readx; However, no matter which of these three points was prepared by China, it was unacceptable to Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In response, in addition to strong diplomatic resistance, the U.S. Navy urgently transferred two aircraft carriers from the Atlantic direction into the Persian Gulf waters of the Arabian Sea to strengthen the Allied Navy's capabilities in the Arabian Sea together with the British Navy, while at the same time using its vast maritime power to put enormous pressure on China in the Iranian direction.

And this action of the allies directly caused a response from China!

In Nanjing, after Guan Shijie hurriedly came out of the presidential palace, he went straight to the Admiralty, and then met with Admiral Wen Tinghe, the current chief of the Admiralty, and Admiral Huang Pinghan, director of the Naval Operations Department, who only served as the chief of the Navy and the director of the Naval Operations Department after the large-scale promotion and awarding ceremony last year.

Like the navies of other countries, the Chinese Navy has a very frequent transfer of positions, whether it is the position of commander of the mobile fleet or the position of administrative management or to the Admiralty, these positions include the chief of the Admiralty, it is rare to say that there will be a term of more than five years, generally speaking, the positions below the rank of general, such as the commander of the sub-fleet, including the captain and the like, the transfer is very frequent, such as the position of the captain and the like, it will be rotated every two years, and this is still in the forties. If it were in the twenties and thirties, when there were fewer ships and more people in the Chinese navy, it would have been rotated once a year. As for the high-level positions, such as the commanders of the three fleets and the ministries directly under the Admiralty, they are rotated about once every three to five years, while the positions with technical surnames, such as the Department of Naval Administration and the Director of Naval Ordnance in charge of equipment research and development, are relatively more stable, because their mobile surnames are not large, and it is impossible to transfer personnel around like other naval agencies, and the members of these technical surnames have stayed in these institutions for many years. After all, you can't transfer a shipbuilding specialist to a mobile fleet as a captain, fleet commander or something.

After the end of the war in the middle of last year, Chen Jingyun made a new round of high-level transfers to the top of the three armed services, for example, Guan Shijie, who had always been a marshal and a standing committee member, was also removed from the post of chief of the Navy Department, and then Yu Wentao was transferred to the post of chief of the Navy Department. Jin Hongye, the former director of the Naval Operations Department, was also transferred to the post of commander of the Third Fleet, and at the same time, Admiral Huang Pinghan, the former commander of the Second Fleet, was transferred to the post of director of the Naval Operations Department, and Chen Shaokuan was appointed as the commander of the Second Fleet.

Basically, Chen Jingyun rotated all the top executives, but on the whole, these people still maintain power, but their positions have been slightly changed.

After Guan Shijie saw Huang Pinghan and Wen Tinghe, Wen Tinghe just said, "What did the chairman say?" What do we do now? ”

Huang Pinghan on the side waited for Wen Tinghe to say before he spoke: "Does the chairman have instructions?" ”

Huang Pinghan speaks slowly, Wen Tinghe is also particular, that is, Huang Pinghan is younger than Wen Tinghe in terms of seniority and age, and when he is older, he Huang Pinghan can only be regarded as the junior of Wen Tinghe and Guan Shijie.

Guan Shijie won't say it, then Wen Tinghe followed Sa Zhenbing to lead the Haiqi to the Fuzhou Navy, and soon he was in a high position, but he was a disciple of Sa Zhenbing, the head of the old Fujian system identified in the Chinese Navy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the people of the new Fujian system and the Nanjing department were on a par with the fighting, but in the thirties, Chen Jingyun vigorously attacked the old Fujian system, and even Sa Zhenbing and Cheng Biguang, the two super bosses, were brought out by Chen Jingyun with an excuse, and then Chen Jingyun's own descendant admiral Guan Shijie, Yu Wentao, Huang Pinghan, Chen Shaokuan and others were quickly promoted. In one fell swoop, it changed the history of the old Fujian system controlling the Chinese Navy for hundreds of years.

However, this change is not complete, although the old Fujian system has disappeared, but there is a new Fujian West, and there are too many Fujian generals, Chen Jingyun can't order them to retire all at once, and some people have to be left behind, and Wen Tinghe survived the upside down Fujian in the thirties, although he was not able to go further, but after nearly ten years have passed, according to his qualifications, it is also a smooth thing to become the chief of the Navy Department, although the factional struggle within the Navy is fierce, However, the strict promotion system agreed upon in the navy is not something that Guan Shijie or even Chen Jingyun can easily change. 、

Guan Shijie is actually strictly speaking, and he is still Wen Tinghe's junior, but how to say it, although Guan Shijie did not rise fast in the early stage, he was deeply valued by Chen Jingyun in the later period, especially after the thirties, and became the first marshal of the navy.

Guan Shijie didn't answer immediately, but waited for a few breaths before saying: "I have already met with the chairman just now, and the chairman's opinion on this matter is: I expected this to happen in advance, and we can also show weakness, so we have to create power!" ”

Hearing Guan Shijie say this, Wen Tinghe said: "If that's the case, then we have to make some reactions!" ”

Huang Pinghan also said: "The strength of the Third Fleet is still relatively objective, I think we can transfer some troops to the Arabian Sea for a trip!" ”

Guan Shijie said: "Yes, in this way, transfer a few aircraft carriers from the Third Fleet, cooperate with other auxiliary ships, and form a battle group to go to the Persian Gulf!" ”

"Since it is not good to form a battle group without a name, and now there is no mobile fleet on the Third Fleet, do you think you should take this opportunity to build another mobile fleet?"

Guan Shijie nodded and said, "This is okay, then build a sixth mobile fleet!" ”

At present, the Chinese Navy has only four mobile fleets, namely the second mobile fleet and the fifth mobile fleet, which belong to the First Fleet. In addition, there are the first mobile fleet and the third mobile fleet under the jurisdiction of the Second Fleet. One of them lacks a number of the fourth mobile fleet, as for how there is a lack of a fourth mobile fleet, it is naturally a historical thing, there was originally a fourth mobile fleet, but it was withdrawn not long after it was established, and once these things are withdrawn, it is not easy to say that they are directly reorganized, so it has been useless.

With Chen Jingyun's instructions, the Chinese Navy quickly transferred capital ships from the Third Fleet and the Second Fleet, including three aircraft carriers and a large number of cruisers and destroyers, to formally establish the Sixth Mobile Fleet, which was commanded by Vice Admiral Liao Hui, former deputy commander of the First Fleet.

As soon as the Sixth Mobile Fleet was established, it swaggered across the Indian Ocean in the name of a military exchange visit to Iran, and then entered the Persian Gulf, and then announced that it would jointly conduct a three-month-long maritime exercise with the Iranian Navy.

Since the main purpose of this operation was to increase the momentum and basically show off how to do it, the temporary Sixth Mobile Fleet gathered the most cutting-edge ships in the Chinese Navy. If it weren't for the fact that one of the two Tianshan-class aircraft carriers had already returned to China for the conversion of steam catapults, and the other was also waiting to be refitted, the Chinese Navy would have said that it would not have to send the two Tianshan-class aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf.

It has to be said here that the Chinese Navy's fleets, including the three major fleets and the mobile fleet, are all not fixed, because the Chinese Navy adopts a rotation system, and constantly adjusts the movements of each ship according to the actual situation, for example, the Mengshan has always been in service in the Second Mobile Fleet in the early stage of the war, but in the later stage of the war, it was transferred to the Third Mobile Fleet in the Second Fleet, and now it is transferred to the Sixth Mobile Fleet to which the Third Fleet belongs.

This is also a last resort, after all, although the Chinese Navy has more than 20 aircraft carriers, but the Chinese Navy needs to control the sea area is also very large, plus aircraft carriers also need to be repaired, refitted, etc., basically at the same time there are always so many aircraft carriers are staying on the slipway and can not be put into operation, so that the Chinese Navy can use fewer aircraft carriers, almost every time there is a large-scale operation, it is from the will to readjust the deployment direction of the aircraft carrier.

The only thing that has a fixed establishment is the sub-fleet, such as the destroyer detachment and the cruiser detachment, which are all fixed formations, and they are all drawn from one detachment at a time, rather than being transferred separately one by one like aircraft carriers or other main fleets.

As a result, China's aircraft carriers are equipped with read-power, and an aircraft carrier is a read-power establishment, and the power of deployment is under the direct jurisdiction of the Naval Operations Department, and neither the Admiralty nor the major fleets have the right to directly deploy aircraft carriers.

In this way, it is possible to flexibly draw aircraft carriers from various fleets to form battle groups when needed!

As a result of this situation, the various fleets of the Chinese Navy are constantly changing, especially the several mobile fleets that the navies of various countries are focusing on, and it is difficult for the spies of the navies of various countries to grasp the specific deployment of China's aircraft carriers, in fact, let alone those spies, even some of the senior generals of the Chinese Navy sometimes do not know where China's aircraft carriers are deployed.

There are pros and cons to this mode of rotational deployment, and the advantage is that it can be flexibly mobilized, and when a war breaks out, there is no need to go so much trouble to coordinate with various fleets, and the naval operations department can dispatch aircraft carrier battle groups to the operational sea area in the shortest possible time. Due to the frequent rotation of various ships, it will directly lead to some problems of coordination in the command after the formation, such as any cruiser and destroyer that serves as any air defense and anti-submarine aircraft, and may even provide escort tasks for different aircraft carriers every time they go to sea to perform any time.
