"Witness history, witness what history?" Mo Qi stared at Xie Kai with a pair of big eyes in confusion.

Xie Kai grinned and didn't explain.

"What are you kid doing here at this time? You don't know the situation here?" Yu Haitao looked at Xie Kai and asked with some dissatisfaction.

Fiery Cross Reef is now in the hands of the People's Liberation Army, but the Vietnamese Navy is not going to rest on its laurels.

"Orders from above, let the fleet stay here......"

"The South China Sea, that's our South China Sea, sailing in our own territorial waters, so what?" Xie Kai asked with a frown.

He didn't know exactly what was going on.

Anyway, they are not afraid of the Vietnamese here, because of the support of the Soviet Union, the Vietnamese have always felt that China is weak and can be bullied, and they claim to be the third military power in the world after the United States and the Soviet Union, and China ignores them.

Then, the Vietnamese army crossed the border, carrying the weapons and equipment of the American troops that China supported them to invade China, and finally the PLA almost reached their capital in just a few days.

Now the war is not completely over.

China's reform and opening up has reached a critical juncture, and it is busy making small amounts of money, and it has no intention of paying attention to the war in the south where the two sides have not yet signed a ceasefire agreement.

Xie Kai even believes that this is the country's desire to take the opportunity to train troops.

Since the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the People's Liberation Army has never experienced a war, and even if it wrestled with the Soviets on Zhenbao Island, the two sides were only a few dozen people.

By the time of the self-defense and counterattack, the PLA had not been at war for many years.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has no war, and with poor equipment, Vietnam, known as the world's third military power, will naturally not see the opportunity slipping away......

Especially in the 70s, South Vietnam, with the support of the US military, seized many Chinese islands. Even after the victory of the Chinese side in the Battle of the Paracels, it did not send troops to garrison the islands in the South China Sea. At that time, the navy was so poorly equipped that even if it sent people to garrison the island, it could not hold it at all...... Even after the withdrawal of American troops and the withdrawal of South Vietnamese troops, the navy did not send personnel to garrison the islands, which were eventually adopted as their own by NATO to unify Vietnam......

By '87, the countries surrounding the Spratly Islands had encroached on more than 20 islands and reefs in China's Spratly Islands.

It was not until 83 that a fleet of the Navy appeared for the first time in the South China Sea, a sea area that was constantly encroached upon by small neighboring countries, after the founding of New China.

"If something happens to these people, it's a diplomatic strife. Yu Haitao persuaded Xie Kai.

Xie Kai and they are completely-stirring sticks, they were fine before, and the Saudi people didn't know about the situation in the South China Sea at all, but later, these guys knew about it and began to ask for an ocean-going voyage in China's territorial waters.

Sail a fart.

If it's just a frigate, then it's not a problem.

The key is that this team carries not only supply ships, but also luxury passenger ships.

"No matter what the reason, it can't affect our training plan! Leasing your warships and passenger ships will require funds!" Yevrola, as the person in charge, was very dissatisfied with the South China Sea Fleet Command's disagreement with them to continue south.

Lafata looked at General Liu Zhongxi, deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet, with a serious expression, and did not say a word.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the South China Sea has been stormy during this time, and it is very easy for you to have an accident with a passenger ship! General Liu was also a little helpless.

This was a mistake in the arrangement of the people of the command of the Navy.

"We are not afraid of wind and waves, and passenger ships, like supply ships, can withstand 12 level winds and waves!" Jevrola emphasized.

Deputy Commander Liu almost cursed.

Can this thing resist wind and waves, can it resist shells?

The supply ship is still a warship.

The point is that no matter how he explains, these people don't listen.

The contract was signed between the Naval Armament Department and the Saudi military.

"Chief, the people from Hudong Shipyard are here. ”

"It's just in time, let them get these guys away, what kind of fun!" Commander Liu was overjoyed.

These guys at Hudong Shipyard are simply blind.

Xie Kai really didn't know a few navy bigwigs, except for the top ones and those who had a relationship with them.

"Commander Liu, when I signed a contract with Saudi Arabia before, I didn't know that such a thing would happen. Saudi Arabia attaches great importance to this matter, this is the last ocean voyage training that they received in our country before the establishment of their navy, in preparation for the next voyage directly from our country to Saudi Arabia's waters......" Xie Kai finally knew why Qi Zhiyuan agreed to him coming here.

It's not easy to solve.

"Foolish! Do you know what's going on now? We don't have the energy to take care of these guys who are sailing on the ocean and carrying passenger ships!" Deputy Commander Liu was so angry that he couldn't do it.

The number of warships in the South China Sea Fleet is already small, and it is simply not enough to protect more than 2.1 million square kilometers of sea territory.

At a time like this, where can warships be deployed to protect the Saudi Navy in training?

"Commander Liu, they have warships, and the caliber of the main guns is not good, but the firepower is not much weaker than the 051 ship!" Xie Kai said.

"The navy of the Vietnamese is simply not enough to see, but if you go to the south, the combat radius of our fighters is simply not enough!"

The Navy is also in a difficult situation.

The entire South China Sea spans more than 2,000 kilometers from south to north and thousands of kilometers from east to west.

With such a huge sea area, fighter support is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

What's more, the southernmost naval aviation airfield is more than 900 kilometers away from Fiery Cross Reef, where Station 74 will be built.

What if these Saudi naval officers and sailors run further?

"What if we can only provide air protection?" Xie Kai said with a smile.

It's time for the Blues' F-14s to get out for a walk.

Those fighters, no matter how secret they are, shouldn't they still be hidden at this time, right?

It is a matter of national interest.

However, he also has some doubts, the military bigwigs should be well aware of the combat radius of the F-14.

The F-14 provided by the Americans to the Persians does not have to be considered on the aircraft carrier, and it has also been reduced by a few, with a combat radius of 930 km, and if it is not loaded, or even pylons with auxiliary fuel tanks, the combat radius can exceed 1200 km......

"You have air protection, what air protection?" Deputy Commander Liu laughed angrily.

He really didn't know where the young man in front of him came from with such a big breath, and why he said this.

The best domestic fighter is the J-8II, and the combat radius is only 800 kilometers.

"Commander Liu, if there are fighters that can provide enough support, is it okay? The Saudi Navy has ordered more than a billion dollars in equipment, and two supply ......ships have been added a few days ago," Xie Kai said.

He didn't know why his superiors didn't mobilize the F-14s of the special operations brigade to be on combat readiness duty here at this time.

Do the people above think that there is no need to send fighters at all?

"I'd like to see where you got the escort planes!" Deputy Commander Liu was amused.

But after two hours, his face became weird.

The Navy Command actually asked the air base in the South China Sea to cooperate, and a secret air force force would reach the southernmost airfield......

"What kind of fighter? Isn't the best fighter in China the J-8II, has the Super 7B already been successfully developed? No, not so fast. Deputy Commander Liu shook his head, not believing it at all.

What's more, even the Super -7B does not have such a large combat radius.

"Commander Liu, you'll know when the time comes. Xie Kai said with a smile.

Xie Kai did not look directly for the military, but Zheng Yucheng.

Zheng Yucheng also did not look for the military, but found the Blue Army Command, which has been applying to his superiors to let the F-14 come to several long-distance transfer flight training.

The one provided by the Iraqis has been repaired and even gone to the sky.

Later, 404 exchanged three flying planes with the Persians, plus one more was later repaired, so that the Blues had two three-plane formations.

It has never been tested for long-distance transfers.

"Hurry up, get ready, get ready to go!"

Inside the 404 base, because there was no flight mission for several days, they could only look at the F-14 pilots who were flying the super-7A and playing all kinds of maneuvers frantically, and their eyes were red.

The black sheep of Tu Lang still can't move at every turn.

Although they only fly light planes, the maneuverability is extremely coquettish, and they fly every day.

I heard that the base is preparing to set up an air show brigade or something......

"Got a mission?" the pilots heard the order, and came to their senses, but soon relented.

In each previous flight mission, I came down before I flew into the sky for half an hour.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up, transfer!" Lieutenant Colonel Chen Zhong, the head of the flying team, said to everyone with a straight face.

"Captain, is it really fake?"

"Where is there so much nonsense, if you don't want to go, you can apply to stay. Chen Zhong said, "Transferred to combat readiness duty, the fighter is now attached to the auxiliary fuel tank and the live ammunition of air-to-air missiles......

Chen Zhong gave a briefing on the task.

Everyone didn't take it seriously.

After all, every mission is said like this, and even it is lively, and in the end, there is not even a few opportunities to engage in the training of three-plane formations when it finally takes off.

When the 8 seeded pilot instructors came out and saw that all 6 F-14s had been pushed out of the hangar, they even joked, "It's getting more and more real......

"Hey, what are the maintenance teams doing?

There are pilots with sharp eyes.

The technicians of the maintenance team are lining up, and the Y-10 hatch on the runway next to it has been opened......

No kidding this time!

Soon, these pilots found out that it was not a joke, but really a long-distance transfer flight training, especially when they activated the fighter dashboard and saw that the fuel gauge was actually full.

This is the first time in a long time since they touched the first F-14 that they have seen the fighter's fuel tank refueled.

The Y-10 did not wait for these fighters and took off first......

Immediately after that, six fighters took off one after another......
