The news of the sudden big move of the Soviet Navy spread as fast as the speed of light, and in an instant, it reached the ears of military and political dignitaries all over the world.

When Yang Weiping learned the news, he continued to talk to Margaret Thatcher on the phone.

"Your Excellency, have you been in contact with Andropov before this?" On the phone, Mrs. Thatcher's tone became visibly solemn: "Do you really intend to provoke a third world war?"

Not to mention that Margaret Thatcher was so shocked by this news that even Yang Weiping herself was a little confused by the sudden big move made by Comrade Lao An.

Comrade Lao An, which song is this singing? Yang Weiping was suddenly a little puzzled. I didn't even greet him, right? Could it be that the weight of the East Soviet Joint Statement was really so awesome? Or did Lao Maozi's spirit of contract really become so sacred?

Yang Weiping did not immediately answer Margaret Thatcher's question, but walked quickly to the map of the world's oceans hanging in the command center of the bridge, and carefully stared at the three locations of the Sea of Japan, the Barents Sea, and the Mediterranean, without blinking his eyes.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet's advance to the Sea of Japan to the line between Hokkaido and the Aleutian Islands obviously constrained the US Navy's Seventh Fleet and prevented it from going south to the Indian Ocean, and it also made the US Third Fleet deployed on the mainland not dare to arbitrarily divide forces to reinforce the US naval base in the Indian Ocean.

The Northern Fleet and the Baltic Fleet went out to the Barents Sea, and the Black Sea Fleet swaggered into the Mediterranean Sea to conduct exercises, which would definitely make the Atlantic Fleet of the US imperialism dare not act rashly.

Sure enough, the intelligence system of the Eastern Union Union soon sent a piece of information: The three aircraft carriers deployed by the US Navy in the Indian Ocean, except for the Kitty Hawk-class Constellation, are still heading towards the Bay of Bengal, and the other two Forex-class Saratoga and Independence have turned around in place and are heading towards the Red Sea at high speed.

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise is also leaving port at this moment. However, instead of advancing to the Bay of Bengal, the intention to enter the Red Sea, through the Guò Suez Canal, is very obvious.

Being manipulated by Andropov in this way, the pressure on the Eastern Union Navy was immediately reduced by more than half.

Damn! Comrade Lao An is really enough buddy! We really owe a lot of favors!

Comrade Lao An was able to almost get the Soviet Navy out in such a short period of time, and it seems that Lao An's control over the Soviet Union's "gun" has exceeded Yang Weiping's previous expectations. Even Lao An has established absolute authority in the CPSU, the Central Political Committee, the Bureau, and the Standing Committee.

Otherwise, as long as any of the other eight members of the Central Committee of the CPSU made a stumbling block at this time, it would have been impossible for the Soviet Navy to carry out such a big move in such a short period of time.

"Hey, hey, Yang, are you still listening to the phone?"

Mrs. Thatcher's eager cry from the microphone interrupted Yang Weiping's emotion.

"I'm listening. Yang Weiping sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Madam, if I say that I was stunned by the big move of the Soviet Navy just now, I don't know if you believe it or not. ”

After a moment's silence, Thatcher replied, "I believe it!" Can I understand that this is a tacit understanding between you and Andropov?"

"Although I have a little friendship with Chairman Andropov, we have not yet formed such a high degree of tacit understanding. Yang Weiping smiled bitterly and said truthfully: "Madam, the changes in things have exceeded my previous expectations, and they are also out of my control. Andropov may have taken the initiative to stand up for our Eastern Union on the basis of the agreement in the joint statement of the East Soviet Union. However, this situation of large-scale military confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Definitely not what I wanted to see, I think. Madame should also not want a large-scale military conflict between the United States and the USSR at this time. ”

"Young, you get in touch with the Soviet side immediately, and I'll call President Reagan!" Mrs. Thatcher immediately made a decision, and said sternly: "We must do everything possible to prevent any kind of friction between the United States and the Soviet Union!"

"Hmm!" Yang Weiping nodded solemnly and said, "Let's go our separate ways and keep in touch at any time!"

After hanging up the phone. Yang Weiping took a deep breath, ignoring the discomfort caused by the faint smell of sea water mixed with the night breeze, and immediately flipped through the communication book in his mobile phone, found the personal phone left by Andropov, and pressed the button without thinking about it.

After ringing three times. Andropov's hearty laughter came from the microphone: "Dear Yang, I've been waiting for your call!"

"Chairman Andropov, thank you very much to the Soviet people for their dedication to the Eastern Union!" Yang Weiping said solemnly and sincerely: "The timely and rapid response of the Soviet Red Navy has made me deeply appreciate the important strategic significance contained in the Joint Statement of the Eastern Soviet Union. I am very grateful to Chairman Andropov, and to the friendship of the Soviet people. However, for the sake of world peace, I hope that Chairman Andropov will not push the Americans too hard, lest the US Government not be able to step down. ”

"Hahaha, Yang, I remember that there was a leader in China, Mao, who once said that imperialism is a paper tiger!" Andropov smiled lightly: "Your navy has done a good job in Mengjiala Bay! If you can successfully capture that Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, it will be of great strategic value to both the Eastern Union and the Soviet Union." ”

Yang Weiping obviously heard what Andropov said, and after a moment of silence, Zhengse said: "The Americans will definitely not let us successfully capture the 'Jack Wieson'." However, I have a way of getting the approximate voiceprint signature of the Jack Wieson. ”

"Hahaha! Yang, talking to smart people is worry-free. Andropov smiled with satisfaction: "Although your Dahan-class attack nuclear submarine is said to have been developed in cooperation with our Ruby Design Bureau, I heard that you have a hand in the electronic system and tactical command system and related chains within the Dahan-class!"

Yang Weiping understood that Andropov was offering conditions, so he groaned slightly, and said without humility or arrogance: "After this confrontation with the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine of the US Navy, we found that the Dahan-class still has many shortcomings. It is better for our two countries to join hands and cooperate again to jointly develop a more advanced fourth-generation attack nuclear submarine with multi-purpose, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft carrier functions. ”

Andropov replied quite dryly: "OUC's scientific and technological development has always been at the forefront of the world, and we admire it very much. I hope that the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe will carry out more extensive and multi-faceted and multi-field in-depth cooperation in the future. Yang, I'll wait for you to come to Moscow, and I'll treat you well with the jars of Black Sea caviar that I have treasured and have never been willing to eat. ”

"I am also looking forward to meeting Chairman Andropov again!" Yang Weiping said with a relatively relaxed smile.

After finishing the short call with Andropov, Yang Weiping immediately walked to the display and control platform of the bridge command center and asked with a stern face: "Where is the 'Jack Wieson' now?"

Navy Commander Shi Zhenhai pointed to the plexiglass photoelectric chart board in front of him and immediately replied: "At this position, our anti-submarine planes, surface ships, and submarines have completed the encirclement of it! However, the 'Jack Wieson' has temporarily lost its trace, and it should be hiding in a certain deep-water area to sit silently at the bottom, intending to delay time and wait for the answer. ”

Yang Weiping stared at the position on the chart, and then at the location of the Diego Garcia military base deployed by the US Navy in the Indian Ocean, and said in a deep voice: "Appropriately relax the electronic interference with the 'Jack Vison' and let it have a chance to communicate with the outside world for a short time! In addition, let go of an opening, so that the commander of the 'Jack Vison' can see that there is hope of escaping south and returning to the Diego Garcia base." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Weiping added again: "Are all the sonar devices that need to be prepared ready?"

Shi Zhenhai nodded and replied, "It's all ready!" As long as we can force the 'Jack Wieson' to maintain a high-speed escape speed under the water for a long time, our sonar, towed sonar, and computer processing systems will definitely be able to capture, collect, and analyze about 70% of the voiceprint signatures of this Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine!"

"Let's act!" Yang Weiping waved his hand.

"Yes! Shi Zhenhai received the order, turned around and walked to the command and control platform, and said in a deep voice: "Order! All units should carry out indiscriminate saturation attacks in the east longitude xxx and west latitude xxx area! The electronic early warning aircraft brigade will give the interference target about three minutes of communication time, Haiyan 5, Haiyan 6, 105 ships, 106 ships, 803 boats, and 805 boats, let go of the southbound passage, and let the target escape to the south!"

"Haiyan 5-124 received!"

"Haiyan 6-125 received!"

"105 ships received!"

“……”

As the units participating in the live-fire exercise replied one by one, a "chase and escape" operation specifically aimed at the US Navy's Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine SNN699 "Jack Wieson" was launched with great momentum.

In a certain area of the western high seas of the Bay of Bengal near India's territorial waters, the Mandalay-class amphibious assault ship "Mandalay," the Mingjiang-class large guided missile destroyer "Baiqi," the Tiangong Aegis-class missile destroyer "Tiandun No. 3," and the Irrawaddy-class missile frigate "Kokang," together with the four Jian-15A heavy fighters escorting the air and eight Qiang-5 B2-D light carrier-based combat attack planes that took off from the "Baron John Young" aircraft carrier, are forming a small battle formation and will come to meet themThe Indian Navy's aircraft carrier battle group INS Virat, which is the USS Jack Wison, is tightly blocked out of the open sea.

At this time, the sound of explosions of depth charges and deep-water anti-ship missiles suddenly came from the waters of xxx degrees east longitude and xxx degrees west latitude, which suddenly made the nerves of the officers and men of the two navies of the Eastern Union and India even more nervous.
