Super military empire

"Captain, aren't these Chinese too stupid? We are so close, but we haven't found us. If the Sino-British war is carried out again, how long will their navy resist?" On the calm water, the most advanced British Type 23 Duke The Pozi flag on the top of the main mast of the class destroyer spread out because of the movement of the battleship.

In the headquarters, a young captain kept staring at the radar screen, but did not see any small dots representing Chinese warships.

On the radar, more than ten nautical miles from them, there was a small fishing boat only ten meters long. They didn't think that fishing boat could spot them.

After so many hours, the Chinese warship did not appear.

"Passing through their Zhongsha Islands, such a long distance, has not been found, the Chinese navy should really be disbanded." The other first lieutenant also said with a smile.

The forty-something major looked at the sea with a stern look on his face.

Hearing the words of the two subordinates, the major shook his head, "Don't underestimate the Chinese navy, they are likely to send a submarine to stare at us. For the South China Sea, no navy of any country is more familiar than them, although they are not too familiar. Advanced warships do not have too advanced radar, but Chinese submarines are not much worse than the most advanced ones in the world."

"This is impossible. Our Duke is the most advanced frigate. The type 2050 low-frequency active/passive sonar of the bow is the most advanced of its kind in the world! But we did not detect the Chinese submarine." The lieutenant looked proud. .

He is very proud of their technology.

"Or, let's release the drag sonar?" The captain who started talking was a little uncertain."In case of being surrounded by Chinese submarines, let's..."

Although I don't believe that China has such capabilities, if such a situation really occurs, it will make the Royal Navy lose its face.

Is it still the most advanced deep blue navy in the world to be surrounded by Chinese submarine forces in the coastal waters of China?In some aspects of naval operations, the Americans cannot match the Imperial Royal Navy, which has dominated the Earth’s oceans for 240 years.

Doing such a thing is in itself to maintain the final dignity of the empire. As a result, it could not be maintained. Instead, it was surrounded by Chinese submarines. Is it worth it?

"Are you crazy? This is only 30 nautical miles away from the southernmost military base in China. Once the drag sonar is dropped, we can only sail at a speed of 10 knots or less." The lieutenant did not care that the opponent's rank was higher than himself.

"Captain Mawson, your proposal is indeed very good, but we can’t do it like this. It’s too close to the Chinese naval port. Although they don’t have large warships and no frigates here, even their naval port to the north is also far from here. It's not too far... Our drag sonar is too heavy." The major said, shaking his head.

The Type 23 Duke-class guided-missile frigate is the most advanced frigate in Britain, with a length of 133 meters, a width of 16.1 meters, a standard displacement of 3,500 tons, and a full-load displacement of 4,200 tons.Although the size and tonnage are smaller than the Type 22 frigate used to replace it, the performance is much higher.

This is the first British frigate to adopt a stealth design, and it has learned the lessons of the Falkland Sea battle. Various advanced technologies and advanced concepts are all piled on this top.

The most important one is that the 2031z towed array sonar that can detect long-range targets in the deep sea is mounted on this frigate.

It is definitely the most advanced frigate in the world, not one of them.

The 2031z towed array sonar weighs 70 tons and has a total length of 1000m. It is composed of a 500m-long towing cable and a 500m-long low-frequency passive listening array. The listening array is towed on a specific The depth of deployment.

The only flaw is that when this advanced array sonar is in operation, the speed of the warship needs to be reduced below 10 knots.

Therefore, the major as the captain was very dissatisfied with the reminders of his men.

"Captain, if you are surrounded by Chinese submarines and the Royal Navy loses its face, how can we explain to the navy?" Captain Mawson's words made the captain's face look ugly."Even if we are discovered by their navy, we are in their exclusive economic zone, not their territorial waters. We will not suffer any face damage if we leave. But if we are surrounded by their submarines..."

The most advanced navy in the world, the Royal Navy, which has the richest naval combat experience, would be almost a joke if it is surrounded by a weak Chinese navy that has not been established for decades.

It is impossible to fight with the Chinese side, but it is completely possible to evacuate before being surrounded by other submarines.

The sonar of the bow can only be used for close-range anti-submarine.

"Reduce the speed and put down the drag sonar!" After some consideration, the captain gave the order.

The face of the Imperial Navy cannot be lost.

The dignity of the imperial government cannot be lost.

"Found an enemy ship!" Not long after the drag sonar was put down, the radar spotted the Chinese warship.

The captain's face became ugly.

"How many?"

"One ship, only 40 nautical miles away from us, is approaching at high speed!" The radar soldier reported."According to the radar signal feedback, it is China's Jianghu-class frigate."

"Don't worry about them, search for Chinese submarines!" Only one came, and the captain didn't care at all."Send helicopters to approach their warships."

The Chinese side actually only sent a small frigate of more than 1,000 tons. How can the captain care?

Small warships are used to be bullied.

At a distance of only tens of nautical miles from them, the target they needed to find finally appeared on the radar screen of the Yibin ship that rushed over.

The first advanced frigate built by the Republic has undergone many improvements and its performance has improved a lot, but the detection range of the radar is still not too far.

"Captain, found the British warship." The radar soldier reacted as soon as the two red dots appeared on the radar.

They were ordered by their superiors to go directly to the target location from the training area. Obviously, they had something to do with the British task force, and everyone in the entire fleet knew it.

After all, since June, the entire army has been carrying out education on the return of Hong Kong. In the previous few days, the superiors issued a notice to the naval forces in the South China Sea, telling all naval officers and soldiers in the South China Sea that the United Kingdom was prepared to show its military presence On the eve of Hong Kong’s return, a task force consisting of 34 frigates and comprehensive supply ships was dispatched to conduct friendly visits to some Asian countries; friendly visits are false, showing their strength is true.

The notification required naval officers and soldiers to prepare for the response and expose the British conspiracies without affecting the dignity of the motherland and not affecting the diplomacy of the two countries.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Yibin ship have long been prepared.

"Captain navigator, start the battle chart operation!" The captain, who had always been grim, gave the order immediately.

Soon, the captain's order was reported by the captain, "Course 136, speed 25, time 48 minutes."

After the captain got the answer, he gave the order again, "Enter the first level of combat!"

Following the command of the captain, short sirens sounded in all cabins inside the warship, and warning lights began to flash continuously along with the sirens.

"Report to the base and request mission instructions." The captain immediately issued an order, "Keep your distance and follow them."

From the beginning of the mission, the situation reports and orders in the base were continuously issued. The Yibin ship was required to report on the situation every half an hour, and it was required to pay attention to the sea surface activity targets at all times.Although there is no explicit statement, everyone knows that these signs indicate that their mission is related to the British task force mixed fleet.

Therefore, from the beginning, the officers and men on board the Yibin ship were highly nervous.

After the captain gave the order, he quickly entered a state of combat.

"You found them?" At this moment, an officer in a major general's uniform entered the command room.

"Chief, are you here?" The captain saw the major general and immediately reported the situation after saluting. "We found two large warships. Maybe that is what we need to find."

"Commander, the third warship is coming at high speed, with a distance of 18, a course of 35, and a speed of 18!" Before the major general could react, the radar soldier exclaimed.

"Call the base to send fighters for reinforcements! Report the situation." The chief's expression also became serious.

A speed of 32 knots.

Especially large targets.

"See them!" In front of the warship's course, the mast was already seen on the sea, and then the mast rose rapidly, gradually seeing the hull below.

"Boom boom boom..." A roar came. In the sky, a helicopter was flying towards Yibin ship at high speed.

The captain handed the binoculars to the major general next to him. The major general did not speak, but raised the binoculars and looked seriously into the distance, "Yes, it is them, Bobcat helicopter."

"Commander, shall we stop or lean on? Their course is also towards us." The captain asked the major general.

"Come on!" The major general answered without hesitation, "This is our exclusive economic zone, and they have already crossed the line."

The Lynx helicopter soon appeared 100 meters above the Yibin ship, continuously circling around the Yibin ship. A person in the cockpit of the helicopter was holding a camera or a video camera to observe the Yibin ship below.

The officers and soldiers on the Yibin ship stood on their posts with solemn expressions.

"What is he doing?" On the front deck, a man wearing a white apron and a white hat ran to the top with a broomstick, and the major general's face suddenly became more gloomy.
