Super military empire

Chapter 1775 The British Aircraft Carrier Fleet Surrounded By Fishing Boats

"The power compartment of our battleship exploded? The huge Chinese battleship ran out of a high speed of 38 knots, and it lasted as long as 40 minutes?" These news made the entire British task force stunned.

They can't imagine why this happens.

When did the imperial military technology that used to be the world's largest industrial power not set so unreliable?When did China, which cannot even manufacture 5,000-ton warships, possess such a strong technical strength?

"General, our battleship broke down and completely lost its power system. The Chinese battleship is approaching at high speed..."

"General, China asked the Duke-class frigate, does it need their help?"

The news was delivered to the headquarters one by one.

Major General Stephen didn't know how to deal with the situation at hand. They were panicked. They even passed the message to the Imperial Navy through satellite communications, and they have not received any feedback until now.

However, the Chinese want to board their warships. This is absolutely not allowed!

"You can't let the Chinese board our frigate, the imperial warships don't need their help!" Stephen heard that the Chinese offered to board the ship for help, and immediately jumped up.

Helping is fake, it is true to want to take the opportunity to see the design of their frigate.

The Chinese must never succeed.

"Tell the Chinese that there is no problem with our warship and we don't need their help. Thank you for their kindness!" The captain of the frigate has been busy arranging people to extinguish the explosion in the power cabin.

Affected by the loss of power, many systems on the entire battleship were unusable.

Fortunately, this problem was taken into account in the previous design. The frigate is not only gas turbines, but also diesel generator sets.These crews were responsible for providing the power of other systems of the warship when the warship began to rush, otherwise, it would really be impossible to contact the fleet command.

Seeing that the huge battleship of the Chinese is getting closer and closer to the frigate, the captain is also a little anxious. What the purpose of the Chinese is, the headquarters has already said.

China just wants to use this opportunity to get on the ship to steal their technology.

"Director Liu, they don't want to let us board the ship to help..." Ai Guoxiu looked at the British frigate not far away, her eyes lighted up."Shall we think of a way to go up and help?"

"Is there any way to think of it? Unless their warship explodes again, they can't solve it, and the warship is going to sink, otherwise we have no chance." Liu Yijiu was also somewhat helpless.

The British are not willing to let them help. They can't force it to help, right?

Although Director Liu initially thought of forcibly boarding the ship to help the British put out the fire, but on the deck of the frigate opposite, some soldiers with guns stared at this side vigilantly, apparently to prevent the personnel on the Chinese warship from forcibly pedaling the ship. .

"It would be great if the British did not have so many fire protection zones." Liu Yijiu sighed.

In this regard, the British did very well. At the beginning, the Type 23 frigate had only 3 fire damage control areas, and the Type 42 destroyer had only two fire damage control areas. As a result, it suffered a big loss in the Falklands Sea Battle. Sheffield Because of this, the ship sank. In the end, the British increased the fire damage control area of ​​their Type 23 frigate, which is similar to the Type 42 warship, to five.

This design effectively accelerates the firefighting speed of the warship when it encounters a fire.

"Or, engage them?" Ai Guoxiu is really unwilling to give up such an opportunity. "Most of us are technicians. Although we may not be able to understand the technology of British warships at once, it can also grow. experience……"

Liu Yijiu looked at Ai Guoxiu, but finally gave up.

He really wanted to sink the British warship very much, but he was just thinking about it.

"Reported that the HNA reconnaissance pilot found that the British fleet was docking in the area near our Huangyan Island!" The signal officer suddenly reported.

"They haven't given up yet?" Liu Yijiu was upset at this time.

Hearing that the British were close to the islands of China, they became even more unhappy. Originally, it was to find the bad luck of their fleet. Now this has caused a warship of the other side to drop anchor, but it can’t get up, can’t see it, and get no benefit. , Of course it is not happy.

"Speed ​​up, go over there!" Liu Yijiu said without hesitation.

Wei Yong wanted to stop, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing that the huge Chinese warship did not continue to approach, the officers and soldiers on the frigate breathed a sigh of relief, but they became melancholy again. Without power, how could the warship go back?

How was the Chinese warship introduced into the ambush?

"They are heading in the direction of our aircraft carrier fleet!" Mawson couldn't help but react as he looked at the direction the Chinese warship was leaving.

"Come to us? Exactly! Settle the old and new enemies together! Order the frigate ambushing them back, and we are here waiting for them." Stephen gritted his teeth after receiving the news.

This time they were ashamed and lost to my grandmother's house. A Chinese naval warship bullied them. The Admiralty has not sent back any news yet. This is not enough.

It is best to be able to drop this battleship with the largest tonnage in China, if it can cause them to make mistakes in their operations and hit the rocks.

The British fleet began to move towards China’s islands and reefs. However, they did not enter the 12-nautical-mile area of ​​China’s islands and reefs. They were just a few hundred meters away from 12-nautical miles. Into China's territorial waters.

HNA's fighter planes kept monitoring in the sky and kept warning the British fleet to leave. However, the British warships all responded that they were sailing on the high seas and did not enter China's territorial waters.

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!" The commander on the battleship roared non-stop, even wishing that the battleship could approach the British fleet at the speed of the aircraft.

I ran for a while at 38 knots before, and now the top speed is only 34 knots, without further increase.High-speed navigation is only used occasionally, and the distance between the two sides is not too far. Although the battleship is nuclear-powered, it must also consider the impact of long-term heavy-load operation on the service life of the battleship.

A major repair takes several months.

The Republican Navy has only two battleships, and there is no idea of ​​building a third one.Therefore, most of the time it is still sailing at a cruising speed of 20 knots.

By the time the radar on the battleship found the British fleet, it was already in the early morning of the next day, and after the sky lighted up, the two sides were already less than 20 nautical miles away.

"These British people are already waiting for us. Their frigate broke down, and they didn't send a battleship to rescue!" Liu Yijiu looked at the dense red spots on the radar and couldn't help licking his lips."Are all the ships of the South China Sea Fleet here? There are so many warships here!"

There are obviously more than 30 warships on the radar.

"Isn't the 165 ships of the South China Sea Fleet monitoring here? Why haven't they contacted us? Didn't they find us?" Liu Yijiu frowned and asked.

The British fleet was in the area close to its own island. A brigade-class ship arrived in the nearby waters last night, but it could not be found on the radar.

The 165 ship, the Luda-class 051 ship, but different from the early 051, the warship is equipped with c-802 anti-ship missiles and air defense Haihongqi-7, which is much more advanced than other 051 ships.

Logically, they should be waiting for the battleship here.

"Where did so many warships come from?" There were dense red dots on the radar, some of which made people confused.

"Hurry over and take a look, don't you know?"

The huge warship began to accelerate, heading in the direction of the British fleet.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the British fleet, looking at the large and small ships not far from the fleet, could no longer remain calm.

The Chinese cargo ships and fishing boats blocked their way, while their warships hid behind these cargo ships and fishing boats.

It is too shameless.

How can they continue?

At first they found Chinese fishing boats nearby. They didn't care. The Chinese used fishing boats to monitor warships of other countries.

Especially at night, those fishing boats are at least 20 nautical miles away from them, but I didn't care.

Who ever thought that by the time of the morning, dozens of large and small fishing boats were already blocking their course!Even merchant ships that don't know where they came from have joined this.

"This is a Chinese conspiracy, shameless, they are too shameless! Let them clear the way!" From the beginning of his service in the Navy, General Stephen never thought that one day, he brought a huge mixed fleet. It would be so aggrieved.

The advanced and huge warship was actually surrounded by a group of Chinese fishing boats.

"Listen to the British warship on the opposite side. You have hindered our normal operations. Get out of here, or compensate us for our economic losses..." What made the British even more angry was that on a fishing boat that was only more than 20 meters long, A man in his forties actually held up a big loudspeaker to shout at them and let them go...

"Contact their warships and let their fishing boats get out of the way. We are sailing on the high seas, otherwise they will not be responsible for hitting them!" Stephen couldn't bear it.

The Chinese warship hid behind the fishing boat and remained silent.

"General, the Chinese warship has replied. Their fishermen are working in their exclusive economic zone. They have no right to interfere with the normal work of the people..."

"Shoot! Speed ​​up and knock over their fishing boat!" General Stephen couldn't bear it. "The Chinese are too shameless!"

If it were not for the non-war period, if it were not for the fear of causing too serious consequences, they would not hesitate to shoot down the Chinese fishing boats that died in one shot.
