Chapter 1172: Combined Fleet Military Exercise!

In fact, Xing Yaxin submitted Li Fanyu's plan to the general assembly, and it was approved within a short time.

After three submarines of the South China Sea Fleet were discovered by the enemy, the fleet made several more exploratory voyages. Although not every time it was discovered, several large-scale operations in international waters were interfered with by the other side's maritime reconnaissance planes.

Under such circumstances, no one on the navy side can guarantee whether the other side knows everything about its own seagoing or how.

But no one dares to take this risk, and several types of submarines are detected by others, which means that as long as they go to sea, there is a great possibility of being discovered by the other party.

Under such circumstances, upgrading the submarine's submarine capability is a matter of urgency for the entire submarine force.

Although there has been progress in the research and development of domestic submarines in recent years, all the current technology accumulation cannot meet the requirements of the sea area that has undergone great changes. So at this time, even if Li Fanyu's plan is a bit risky, it is worth trying.

Therefore, after assessing in detail the feasibility of the Zhengxin plan, the general assembly department directly ordered a comprehensive transformation plan for the first batch of three submarines of the South China Sea Fleet that were detected by the opponent's sonar system.

In fact, two of the three submarines had already been dismantled before this order was issued.

In addition to the complex structure of the power transmission system of the Han-class nuclear submarine and the slow progress of issues related to the disposal of nuclear reactors, the ground support unit has already used the highest efficiency to dismantle the power parts of the two Kilo-class conventional submarines that have just been commissioned in the South China Sea Fleet.

After a good on-site evaluation of the vacant power cabin, transmission and propulsion department, Li Fanyu and Liu Qing and others officially started the research and development of the new power.

People who are used to R&D in Zhengxin have a hard time adapting to other places. In the view of the team, the equipment in the R&D part of the 920524 is too lo. In order to ensure the progress and efficiency of the research and development, Li Fanyu could only ask to return to Amagi and start the research and development of fuel cells and pump jet propulsion systems in the industrial base of Zhengxin Group.

These two key components, if you rely on these 920524 equipment, not to mention anything else, just a pump spray system needs to use the rotor to match the production of fan blades, it will take a month.

If it is placed in Zhengxin's industrial base and used the X super machining center to do it, it will take more than 20 minutes.

This efficiency gap is too big.

After receiving Li Fanyu's application, although Xing Yaxin hesitated, he agreed after some consideration. After all, the current situation is urgent, and the requirements of the top are to shorten the research and development cycle as much as possible, launch the upgraded submarine as soon as possible, and undertake the task of testing the underwater sonar systems of other countries.

Considering that returning to Tiancheng can improve efficiency, Xing Yaxin has no reason not to agree.

However, in this case, the main part of the R&D needs to be transferred. The core part of the project went to Amagi for execution, so a lot of supporting R&D work must also be followed.

So, after collecting all the information and preparing to stop, Xing Yaxin specially contacted the South China Sea Fleet and dispatched a frigate to send Li Fanyu's team, as well as more than 200 920524 R&D engineers and machinery, to the seaport of the Tiancheng Zhengxin Industrial Base.

At the U.S. Naval Base in Monchi, McHaus looked at the power of attorney in his hand and excitedly lit the cigar in his mouth.

"Sir, congratulations!"

Seeing the ribbon and the American eagle emblem in his hand, which read "Commander-in-Chief of the Western Pacific Combined Fleet Exercise" in floral English, McHouse's secretary immediately offered his courtesy.

McHaus laughed, "I knew that this time I had made the right bet! China's current naval expansion is too fast, and there are frequent big moves, which has already aroused strong domestic attention. A country with a weak navy, no matter how strong its overall military strength is, is still a defensive posture in terms of overall military layout. But if the power at sea swells, then it means that the country has born ambitions. Presumably, the country has been impatient with the actions of the Chinese Navy. If this exercise is done beautifully, then Charlie, I will not be far from returning home. ”

The secretary named Charlie nodded, "That's right, sir. You've been in Monchi for five years, and no other general knows more about the seas than you do. At present, China is wantonly increasing its naval military spending and wantonly building a battle group in the open sea. In such a situation, the Ministry of Defense needs a person with field experience and sufficient political qualifications to hold a key position. You, of course, are the perfect fit. ”

"Haha,"

Hearing the secretary's analysis, Maihaus took the cigar from his mouth and smiled heartily.

"Charlie, help me draw up orders. ”

"Yes sir!" Charlie quickly picked up his shorthand notebook.

"Order, the military base in the Western Pacific stationed in the Monchi State has entered a state of combat readiness, and it is necessary to ensure the supply of materials and fuel in the next month. The AG3 aircraft carrier battle group was put on standby, the naval aviation unit of the base was ordered to revise its patrol mission, and the Admiralty of the Mengchi State was notified to cooperate with the operation to ensure the smooth international sea route between the northern sea of the Mengchi State and the South China Sea. We should intensify the detection of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and underwater sonar systems, and pay close attention to the movements of China's South China Sea Fleet and any maritime military units in the South China Sea! We must ensure that the exercise can be completed within a month!"

After some ordering, Maihaus sat down on his large sofa. Feeling the aroma of the cigar lingering in his hand, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"A month?" the final order made the secretary hesitate, "Is a month too hasty?"

McHaus raised his eyebrows, "Strike while the iron is hot, we gave the Chinese side a hard slap through the sonar system before." Then this exercise is a kick in the way for them! I want to let them know through this exercise that even if they have the technology to reclaim the islands and occupy the Apo Reef Islands. But the waters of the South China Sea are still under the control of our American Navy!"

"Yes, sir, I see!"

Maihaus smiled and waved his hand.

When Charlie walked out of the office, McHouse snuffed out the cigar with a delicate cigar cutter and picked up the phone.

"Hey, man, what's going on with the Ministry of Defense lately? You don't know, Monch isn't a comfortable place to be. I don't want to stay in this place anymore. I know you're going to have a hard time swaying those damn politicians, but we're going to have a military exercise in a month's time, and I'd like you to help me do it and get Mr. President and Mr. Vice President to pay attention........."
