Since the Saudis asked for a replacement after no longer leaving the warship, and the Chinese side agreed to pray on the warship, the whole voyage did not have too much delay.

The 537 fleet went all the way to the south, and only encountered a few Chinese fishing boats with small tonnage flying the five-star red flag, Xie Kai couldn't help but wonder.

It stands to reason that the South China Sea is rich in resources, especially in 86 when the country agreed to fishermen to operate in the South China Sea, the South China Sea, which is rich in fishery resources, should have many fishing boats, but unfortunately I really didn't see a few.

See, the tonnage is not large.

As for the warship, when the fishing boat saw it, it just honked its horn to say hello, and did not come over or anything.

Nothing happened along the way, and finally on the evening of March 13, the fleet arrived near the Nansha Islands, and through the communication device on the 537, it joined the 162nd Fleet and the 510th Fleet that were patrolling the waters from Huayang Reef to Fiery Cross Reef.

While waiting for supplies, the 162 ships were lined up side by side with the 510 ships belonging to 053H1, and the sizes of the two warships were compared at once.

After all, the 162 ship is currently the assistant of the Navy, and the 051 warship has a full load displacement of 3,670 tons.

Both sides of the warship were filled with naval officers and sailors in white uniforms.

"It's a bit big!" Mozzi was a little surprised.

Xie Kai gave her a blank look, and this girl is now starting to become shameless. In normal times, naval officers and men generally only wear ceremonial uniforms on both sides of the ship on major festivals or when superior leaders inspect the ship.

Apparently this is for the Saudis.

Looking at the Saudi officers and soldiers standing on both sides of the 537 ship on their side, they can understand, especially the Saudi officers and soldiers who are still wearing naval uniforms.

"Wow, that warship is so big!" Mo Qi, who was standing on the supply ship, said excitedly when he saw the warship waiting next to him, and small stars appeared in his eyes.

"162 ship, the main force of the navy......" Xie Kai was not excited.

After all, it is still lagging behind, whether it is the 162 ship of the 051 type, or the 510 belonging to the 053H1, there is also a 531 ship that has not converged.

"With such a large warship, the firepower must be fiercer than the 537 in our team. "Mozzi is an idiot.

Whether a warship is strong or not depends on the size and tonnage.

"If you look at the size, wouldn't this ship of more than 20,000 tons under our feet have more firepower?" Xie Kai's words made Mo Qi blush and smirk.

Warships can't look at the size.

Although, for many years, warships were the larger the tonnage, the more advanced.

Not now, large tonnage does not necessarily mean advanced.

If the Type 056 missile frigates that are only more than 1,000 tons in China a few decades later are put into this era, they can almost crush most of the frigates and destroyers with a displacement of 3,000 or 4,000 tons, and they can easily hit them all over the ground......

510 leaned over first, self-sustaining power was not good, and the number of personnel was still large, especially fresh water, which could not be supplied sufficiently.

When docked on the side, by the chimney in the middle of the 510 ship, a bunch of sailors patted the team with basins and waited to save water.

It is only when the supply ship arrives that the supply ship will have a sufficient supply of fresh water.

"Brother, come, take it, thank you for your hard work!" In the middle of the supply ship, a lieutenant was next to him and handed out cigarettes and apples to the officers and soldiers who were lining up to save water.

These things were all purchased privately by Xie Kai at his expense.

"When did our navy become so rich?" someone asked in surprise, "The guys on the supply ships of our fleet used to pick on the door, and they couldn't bear to ask for two cucumbers......

Hearing this sentence, Mo Qi's eyes turned red.

He knows that the life on the warship is not enough to ensure the water for washing in ordinary times, so the priority is to ensure drinking, washing his face or something, and just wipe it with a towel dipped in water.

"By the way, why are you taking a passenger ship with you?"

Hearing this, the other naval officers and men who were waiting to save water burst into laughter.

But no one explained this to them.

"Xie Kai, Xie Kai, come over for a while......" Yu Haitao didn't know when he got on the supply ship, followed by several officers wearing cadre uniforms.

The leader of the team was suddenly a colonel with the rank of two cents and four soldiers.

Xie Kai and Mo Qi hurriedly saluted.

"Hello Chief of Staff Chen!" Xie Kai is too familiar with this.

"Little comrade, do you know me?" Senior Colonel Chen was a little surprised, but it was only for a moment, and then he said, "It will be easier to get to know me." ”

"May I ask what the chief commands?" Xie Kai asked with a grin.

"After the supply is completed, the head of the Saudi Arabia is told to evacuate immediately. Colonel Chen said with a serious face.

"Chief, the Saudi training mission is not over yet......" Xie Kai was a little embarrassed, he finally caught up, seeing that there were still ten or so hours, and the naval battle was about to break out, so leave at this time, is it possible?

Not to mention that Xie Kai disagrees, the officers and men of the Saudi Navy who came specifically to experience the war will not agree either.

"What, there are difficulties?" asked Senior Colonel Chen.

"Chief, can you take a step to speak?" Xie Kai looked at the person next to him, not knowing how to speak.

"There's something to say here. You guys are really foolish, when are you still taking them here! When something happens, who can afford to be responsible?" said a major next to him coldly.

"Isn't it just that the Vietnamese sent a few transport ships to build stilt buildings on Chigua Reef and the surrounding Qiong Reef and Ghost Crying Reef...... Except for that passenger ship, our Nanyun 950 doesn't need them ......," Xie Kai said with a grin.

Suddenly, the faces of the cadres of a group of fleet changed greatly.

How did such news leak out?

"Chief, it's not a leak, our 537 search radar is farther away, not to mention, there are other sources......" Xie Kai knew that these bigwigs had misunderstood.

He wouldn't have left anyway.

Not only will he not go, but he will not let the Saudis go.

These words made Colonel Chen unable to refute them.

People have sources, what can they do?

"You all have to get out of here anyway, it's an order. Colonel Chen said solemnly.

These guys who do not belong to the combat sequence of the Navy are here, what if they do not listen to orders and take the initiative to open fire, what will happen when the time comes?

What's more, there are passenger ships behind them, and those Vietnamese are not civilian ships or warships.

In particular, there are a large number of foreigners on passenger ships.

"Chief, they are just training, what's more, this formation does not belong to the Navy at present, the 537 ship has not yet been put into service, and now it still belongs to the Hudong Shipyard, and our sea trials do not violate the regulations...... Not to mention the ship ......operation that is now helping the Saudi Navy train officers and soldiers," Xie Kai said with a grin when he saw Chief of Staff Chen pressing himself with an order.

The warships that have not yet been delivered in the sea trials of the Hudong Shipyard are not under the jurisdiction of the military.

Suddenly, the faces of the fleet leaders were gloomy.

"Comrade Xie Kai, you sea trials, we naturally will not interfere with you. But this area is not for ordinary ships to come by!" said one of the majors, holding back his anger.

They want Xie Kai to focus on the big picture.

It's not that they want to find Xie Kai, but the Saudis simply don't agree.

Communicating with foreigners is not what the current fleet is good at.

"We sailed in our own territorial waters, and we didn't say that this place was classified as a military control zone or anything...... "Xie Kai didn't plan to leave anyway.

If the military had requested it at the beginning, it would not have been a problem to set aside a certain area for military exercises or to control it.

But now, there is no such thing at all.

Taking advantage of policy loopholes is what Xie Kai is best at.

"We don't have more than one warship to escort you......" Chief of Staff Chen was a little helpless.

Although there are a large number of warships on this side at present, with three small formations, they really can't spare the manpower to escort these trained Saudi Navy.

"Rest assured, chief, we don't need naval protection. Aside from that passenger ship, our 950 has the ability to defend itself!537, not to mention. Anti-ship, anti-submarine, air defense, there are no problems. Besides, if there is a real problem, we still have support from the air......"

"Support a fart, our HNA J-8II combat radius is only 800 kilometers, and the southernmost Lingshui Airport is 900 kilometers here...... What if their air force comes?" Chief of Staff Chen was a little helpless.

HNA fighters have short legs and cannot take care of the entire narrow area of the South China Sea.

In the South China Sea, no airport has yet been established, otherwise the islands in the South China Sea would not have been frantically encroached upon by neighboring countries.

Just because in 83 the PLA Navy formation entered the South China Sea patrol, and then countries accelerated the encroachment on the islands in the South China Sea.

The Vietnamese were even more emboldened, stationing the Soviet fleet in Cam Ranh Bay, as well as dozens of Su-22 fighter-bombers with a combat radius of thousands of kilometers, which had a sufficient combat radius.

"Chief, we really have fighter planes to support us. Of course, this is under the premise that our fleet is threatened......" Yu Haitao explained.

Whether there are fighter planes to support it, none of them knows.

Anyway, the leaders of the South China Sea Fleet do not believe it.

Now there is not enough time to spend with this formation, and there are not enough ships to be drawn out to escort the convoy.

In the end, after reporting the situation to the base, after receiving a reply from the base that it would not interfere with the training plan of the Saudis, he had no choice but to give up.

"Go to Chigua Reef!" After the 162 and 510 formations were resupplied and carried out their mission again, Yu Haitao asked Xie Kai, and Xie Kai directly said the destination.

And at Chigua Reef, a Type 65 frigate has already stopped next to Chigua Reef.

This is an artillery frigate that has been in service since 68 years, with the board number 502, the Nanchong ship.

If Xie Kai were here, he would exclaim, the Navy's meritorious ship!

The sea is not stormy, and the captain and political commissar of the frigate are studying the plan for landing on the island.

The intelligence center, on the radar display, is monitoring the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a red dot appeared on the radar's display.

Soon, the small red dots on the display representing enemy ships changed from one to three......

"Report, three enemy ships have been spotted! are approaching us at a speed of 14 knots ......."

"Report to the fleet immediately, request support, and continue to monitor!"

No. 502 didn't react much, just asked for fleet support.

You can't fire, you can only intercept, and one warship can't stop three warships from landing on the island no matter what, right?
