Chapter 731: Prologue

The laughter in the bridge of the "Minsk" still echoes, with such a powerful combat capability, anyone will be full of confidence, not to mention that they have to deal with the Chinese Navy, whose technical equipment level is still stuck in the fifties and sixties, you must know that the two can no longer be summed up by a simple generation difference, but there is no comparison at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is precisely because of this that Vice Admiral Biliukov did not hesitate to send Cam Ranh Bay, and even the most powerful combat power of the entire Soviet Union's Great Flat Ocean Fleet, after a secret meeting with Wen Datong.........

"General, I think you also know that if China controls the South China Sea, your country's oil and gas exploration interests in this sea area will not be guaranteed, and your equity with the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Sironov, will also be completely wiped out, which is a benefit of nearly 10 million US dollars a year, I don't think you and Admiral Sironov will sit idly by!"

Looking out of the porthole, at the sea and sky, Vice Admiral Biryukov could not help but think of a conversation he had with the representative of the commander of the Vietnamese Navy, Chief of Naval Operations Van Dai Dong a few hours ago.

Just like their attitude towards the South China Sea for several years, they must protect their huge economic interests in the South China Sea no matter what, even if they use force in the name of the country.........

Vietnam's oil and gas development in the South China Sea was not so much a cooperation with the Soviet Union as it was with a high-ranking officer corps headed by Admiral Sironov, commander of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.

The most typical example is the Soviet Union cluster in East Germany, because it is close to the developed industrial zones in the West, so all kinds of smuggling activities are very rampant, and some generals even use military transport planes to smuggle high value-added German Volkswagen cars and Japanese household appliances into the country, even if they are investigated, it does not matter, as long as they give their immediate boss a lot of dollars, they can turn big things into small things, and small things can be turned into small things, so that the profit-making activities of enriching their own pockets can be said to be more and more widespread in the Soviet Union cluster in East Germany.

And this is bound to make the troops in other parts of the Soviet Union red-eyed, whether it is soldiers or officers want to sharpen their heads and transfer to the East German cluster, but after all, the East German cluster is the most elite force of the Soviet army, both the conditions and the selection are extremely strict, not to mention that other strategic directions of the Soviet Union also have extremely heavy defense pressure, so it is destined that not everyone can go to the East German cluster to pan for gold;

Since it was impossible to transfer to the East German cluster, it could only find another way, after all, those real money did not earn in vain, so the military commanders of the Soviet army began to cross the sea to show their magical powers, fully combining their flexible military knowledge with making money, and opened a nearly perfect model of backing the mountain and relying on the water to draft the water;

For example, the two military districts of Belarus and Ukraine took advantage of their geographical advantages close to those of the East German cluster to act as logistics middlemen; the Baltic and Northern Fleets relied on the advantage of frequent going to sea and the ocean to turn into out-and-out "overseas shopping"; the Soviet troops in Central Asia competed with the land under their feet and started the oil and gas smuggling business; even the Soviet combat units that were mired in the quagmire of Afghanistan were not suffocated to death, and they stubbornly overcame the harsh environment in Afghanistan's poor countryside and made arms smuggling flourish.........

However, as the so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each is different, the same Soviet army, not all strategic directions can make money, and among them, the Soviet Pacific Fleet is the most bitter one, not to mention the cold, there is no reliable partner around, not only that, but also to face the head-on confrontation of the US Seventh Fleet in Japan, so that the fleet's money-making plan is always inadequate;

It is not easy to gain a foothold in Cam Ranh Bay in Southeast Asia, but when you look at it, whether it is Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia, they are all struggling at the level of food and clothing, not to mention making money, it would be good if you don't give them money, fortunately, there is no end to the road, the South China Sea has proved a huge oil and gas field, in the face of such a huge benefit, Admiral Sironov, commander of the Pacific Fleet, did not say a word, slapped his thigh and directly used the name of the Soviet National Oil Company to cooperate with Vietnam to develop oil and gas in the South China Sea.

In just one year, the South China Sea gas field brought nearly $10 million in revenue to Sironov, Bilyukov and others, and most of them fell into the pockets of senior officers of the Pacific Fleet, except for a small part that was handed over to the state treasury and a number of generals who honored the Ministry of Defense and the Navy Command.

It is precisely for this reason that the Soviet Pacific Fleet has been extremely active in any disturbances in the South China Sea, and over the past few years it has not only gradually strengthened the size of its garrison in Cam Ranh Bay, but has also frequently sent warships and warplanes to patrol the South China Sea, and has had countless confrontations and frictions with the Chinese Navy.

After all, the Soviet Taiping Fleet handed over a lot of filial piety every year, and the Soviet Taiping Fleet's intensified military activities in the region were also conducive to demonstrating the Soviet military's military presence and hard-line style and offsetting the compromise with the United States in Eastern Europe.

Therefore, the high-level behavior of the Soviet Taiping Fleet can be described as laissez-faire, and this has further fueled the arrogance of Sironov and Bilyukov and others, who brazenly sent powerful forces in the face of the legitimate defense of sovereignty by the Chinese army, intending to drive China out of the South China Sea........

"Comrade Commander, I really hope that you will listen to my advice!"

Just when Bilyukov was proudly fantasizing about how to live an imperial life with the dollars deposited in the Swiss bank, a very discordant voice suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere of the sea on the bridge, which made Lieutenant General Bilyukov frown very unhappily, and looked at the master who made this discordant note, his chief of staff, Major General Bukin, but Major General Bujing did not seem to see the obvious chagrin expression of the commander, and still recounted with a blank face:

"Judging from the satellite photos just received, China has been equipped with new fighters, most likely equipped with air support aircraft, and they are conducting frequent test flights in China's southwest region, and once something happens in the South China Sea, they will be put into this direction as soon as possible, so ........."

"So, are you telling us to go back and let the Chinese wreak havoc in this sea?"

Before Bujing could finish speaking, Biryukov interrupted him rudely, and then a pair of yellowish eyebrows suddenly stood up, and roared at Butin:

"Interpretation, interpretation, these days you have been holding this satellite picture with no source, like a toothless old woman, babbling non-stop, advanced combat aircraft, and satellite reconnaissance satellites, I really don't know if your group of interpreters are blind, or your head is broken, if they really have such an airplane, can they still let you take pictures? Put a few balloon mats, use a few boards to build a model, you can make you suffer from gains and losses?

Let me tell you, these tricks, our great Soviet army has been left over in World War II, China is just using this old-fashioned method to scare and scare young people like you, and the real them, just like balloons placed on the runway for anyone to shoot, burst with a bucket of needles..........."

"But ........."

"It's nothing, even if there is, it's Chinese to go, and they can only follow one sentence, that is, we are really wrong........."

At the end of Bilyukov's speech, he shrugged his shoulders comically, which immediately caused the other officers to laugh, and Rear Admiral Butin's face was a little unbearable, but he still wanted to argue a few words, so at this moment Lieutenant General Bilyukov's adjutant walked over quickly, muttered for a while, and then handed over a talkie, and at the same time the loudspeaker in the bridge sounded the low and firm voice of Admiral Sironov, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Pacific Fleet far away in Vladivostok:

"Comrade Biryukov, it's a pleasure to be on the phone with you again!"

"Me too, Comrade Admiral!"

"Well, since that's the case, then don't talk so much nonsense, anyway, in a word, we have to drive the Chinese out of the South ~~ Shahai Sea." If you can't run away, you will run away, and if you can't run, you will completely break me, so that they will remember for the rest of their lives what is a real fist!"

"Yes!"

"I'm waiting for the news of your victory, the best vodka and caviar are ready, just waiting for your triumphant return........"

"Victory must belong to us, to the great Soviet Navy ~~~ Ula ~~~"

"Ulla~~~Ulla~~~Ulla~~~"

As Vice Admiral Biryukov shouted "Ula~~" abruptly, the generals on the bridge also shouted in agreement, and a few minutes later, the other ships that heard the flagship's call through the radio also shouted, and suddenly the sound of "Ula~~" over the entire Soviet fleet shook the heavens and the earth, only the chief of staff of the fleet pursed his lips tightly, looking at the sea in the distance, and his face was gloomy.........

Also with a melancholy face, Zhang Yunhai, the captain of the Chinese naval construction team located on the Yong~~Summer~~ reef, was not long after they annihilated the Vietnamese army on the Chi~~Melon~~ reef, they kept taking the Yong~~Summer~~ reef occupied by the Vietnamese army, but before they could gain a firm foothold,

A Soviet maritime patrol plane modified by the Tu-16 flew to the sky over the Yong~~summer~~ reef, about 20 minutes later, three MiG-23s of the Soviet Naval Aviation from above the clouds, stabbed down, and made several very offensive dive simulation attacks on Zhang Yunhai and others who landed on the island, and then flew towards the northeast sea.

"531, 531, there are three enemy planes flying towards you, please be prepared for air defense, please prepare for air defense........."

"Tutu~~Tutu~~~" As soon as Zhang Yunhai's voice fell, there was a deafening sound of gunfire in the intercom, and then the correspondent of 531 responded in an urgent voice:

"I'm ready to do that, and so are you, the fleet orders, hold the reef no matter what, until the last man, repeat, hold the reef no matter what, until the last man .........." (To be continued.) )
