Chapter 366: The Avenger
When Gao Yang boarded the boat, Ulyanko opened his arms, hugged Gao Yang vigorously, and said with a concerned face: "Man, congratulations, I saw on the news that your girlfriend seems to be fine?"
Gao Yang was in a very good mood at this time, and for the first time in a few days, he showed a heartfelt smile and said, "Yes, it's okay, everything is fine now, if we can send those whaling ships to the bottom of the sea, then everything will be better." β
Ulyanko smiled, and after Grolev got on the boat, Ulyanko congratulated Grolev again, and then Ulyanko said proudly: "Guys, Big Ivan has always been good at talking, and if he says that he can be ready within five days, then he will definitely be ready." β
Gao Yang saw that the bow deck was full of fishing nets, and under the fishing nets, four large cylinders could be seen, judging by the thickness of the columns, they should be 533 mm torpedoes.
Gao Yang pointed to the pile of fishing nets and said, "There's a torpedo down there, right?"
Ulyanko nodded, walked to the fishing net in the bow of the boat, and after lifting the thin layer of fishing net vigorously, he pointed to a torpedo tube and said loudly: "Guys, look at it, heavy torpedoes, only one 10,000-ton ship!"
Gao Yang walked to the front of the torpedo tube, and touched the torpedo tube with great emotion, the torpedo tube was welded directly to the deck, and it could be seen from the messy traces that the welding was very hurried and sloppy.
It was the first time Gao Yang had actually seen a torpedo, to be exact, a torpedo tube, which was far larger than Gao Yang had imagined, and it looked like it had to be more than eight meters long and nearly one meter in diameter. Such a large torpedo tube. Presumably, the torpedo inside will not be that small.
Cui Bo said excitedly: "Strong." It's amazing, it's so big, it will definitely make the little Japanese son feel refreshed!"
After clapping his hands vigorously and drawing people's attention to him, Ulyanko smiled and said loudly: "Guys, I know what you guys are thinking, and now let me explain to you the details of the Avenger." β
Ulyanko pointed to the deck under his feet and said, "Let's talk about our ship first." The ship was launched in 1998 with a full load displacement of 1350 tons, with a maximum speed of 23 knots, and was in good condition, while the ship sank in 2009, that is, the ship we were on was a ghost ship. β
Gao Yang raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, what do you mean by the ghost ship?"
Ulyanko smiled slightly. "That's a good question, the so-called ghost ship is taken literally. It's that this ship no longer exists, sank, and disappeared, and there are still two hundred and fourteen ships of the same type in the world, that is to say, our ship can be painted with the name of any ship of the same type and sail in any sea area, and the name of this ship painted and sprayed is exactly the same as a ship that is fishing krill in the South Atlantic Ocean, the name is Shunli, of course, no one except ourselves knows that this Shunli is fake, as for the original purpose of this ship, given that this ship is from Colombian drug dealers, you should be able to understand what this boat was originally used forοΌβ
Gao Yang Ha smiled and said, "Understand, understand, very good, please continue." β
Ulyanko nodded and said loudly: "After talking about the ship, let's talk about the weapon system, first of all, there are three kinds of six torpedoes on this ship, what you see now is the Russian Type 53-65 active/passive guided 533mm torpedo, there are two of these torpedoes, and it will be our first choice to attack the Nissin Maru."
Here, underneath the fishing nets, there are Russian Type 53-39 direct-sailing torpedoes of a slightly shorter length, the same number of two.
At the very front of the deck, where fishing nets cover the places that cannot be seen, there are also two 324-mm light torpedoes, Italian-made bald torpedoes, A-244 anti-submarine and anti-ship torpedoes, these are two little guys, so you can't see them. β
Taking the American 533-mm heavy torpedo MK48 as an example, the price of the earliest basic MK48-1 model was $500,000, and in 1984, the price of MK48-4 was $980,000, and in 1992, the price of an MK48-ADCAP torpedo was $2.05 million, in 1998, the price of an MK48-ADCAP torpedo was $3.5 million, and in 1998, the price of a Harpoon anti-ship missile, the most expensive model was only nearly $1 millionγ
Gao Yang knew the 53-65 torpedo because he knew that when Huaxia introduced the Hyundai-class destroyer, the torpedo equipped with the Hyundai ship was the 53-65.
Of course, the price of the 53-65 is cheaper than that of the MK48, and it is also divided into early and recent advanced models, but the 53-65 torpedo, which has sound guidance and wake self-guidance, will not be cheaper no matter how cheap it is.
After Ulyanko finished speaking, Gao Yang immediately said: "Didn't you say that all direct-sailing torpedoes are used? Why do you have 53-65? That's wake self-guided torpedoes, and there are A-244s, which are mainly used for anti-submarine use, although they are small, but the price is not cheap at all." β
Ulyanko made a helpless expression and said: "No way, of course Big Ivan also wants to use direct-sailing torpedoes, but the 53-39 torpedoes in our inventory have been too long, and we have tested two of them, one of which has failed to move when it enters the water, and the other one, which has been launched out of the water, has disappeared after sailing for less than a thousand meters, and Big Ivan can't install a few unusable torpedoes for you." β
Gao Yang opened his mouth wide and said, "What age did you say that the torpedo was made? This is too unreliable, right?"
Ulyanko shrugged his shoulders and said: "Yes, a large number of torpedoes were made in 1950, so long time has passed, and there is a lack of maintenance, it is strange that it can still be reliable, if you are not in a hurry, Big Ivan can still check and maintain the torpedoes before using them, but there are only five days in total, so Big Ivan can only think of other ways." β
Gao Yang couldn't help but be curious: "What way?"
Ulyanko's tone sounded like a complaint, but his expression looked like boasting.
"Six torpedoes here, from the navies of three countries. It's all active. Well. I won't say which country it is, in fact I don't know what it is, but what I do know is that the two 53-65 came from a certain torpedo boat, and they cut off the torpedo tubes directly with gas welding, and then loaded them onto this ship.
The two 53-39s, also from a torpedo boat. It's a pity that Big Ivan only found these two, otherwise, he wouldn't have had to buy those two 53-65 at a high price.
As for the two white-headed A-244s, from an anti-submarine ship, they were originally a triple torpedo launcher, but Big Ivan felt that two were enough, and in order to make up for some losses, he disassembled the triple fish launcher and left one, which might be sold at a high price in the future.
Since the A-244 is an anti-submarine torpedo, the minimum attack depth is 6 meters. It was only this morning that the two A-244s reset the depth of their attacks.
Generally. Because of the torpedo factor, the cost of Big Ivan has increased significantly, and he asked me to tell you that this time the cost of the torpedo is eight million dollars, which is seriously over the budget, but you can rest assured, Big Ivan said, you don't need to pay an extra dollar for this, Big Ivan is a man of words, and the negotiated price will never change. β
Gao Yang said sincerely: "It's amazing, Big Ivan is really amazing, five days, looking for torpedoes, refitting fishing boats, although I don't know how Big Ivan did it, but I know that it must be not easy." β
Ulyankoha smiled and said, "Who is Big Ivan? Man, he is now an underground arms giant in the world, doing all this is nothing to him, I told you a long time ago, as long as you have money, everything you need, anything, we can deliver it to your door, of course, you need to make an appointment in advance." β
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Now that the weapons and the ship are available, what about the people, and the personnel on the ship?"
Ulyanko shrugged his shoulders and said, "The crew is tired, they did a lot of preliminary work, you have to understand, man, it's not just about carrying a torpedo into a fishing boat, it's not just about moving it up, they're tired during these five days, no, you'll see them soon, I'll introduce them to you later." β
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, is there anything else you want to tell me now?" β
Ulyanko said: "Yes, first of all, you must know that this ship already belongs to you, but after completing its mission, this ship will be bombed and sunk in the Antarctic Ocean." β
Gao Yang said without hesitation: "No problem, I don't want to be found on this ship and cause trouble to you and me, it's best to blow it up, let them go to the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean to find clues." β
Ulyanko said: "In addition, I named this ship the Avenger, but you are the owner of this ship and the initiator of this operation, so I think you still have to name this ship." β
Gao Yang said without hesitation: "The Avenger, it's called the Avenger, it's a very good name." β
After Gao Yang finished speaking, Cui Bo suddenly said loudly: "I think, should we give this operation a code name?"
Ulyan Koha smiled and said, "That's right, it's time for an action code, then, what action code do you think of?"
Cui Bo said loudly: "Brother Yang, you can give me a code name, you want to be more powerful, such as thunder, or the desert saber, as soon as you hear it, you will know what Lu Dao is going to do." β
Gao Yang shook his head and said to Grolev: "Big dog, you should come, this operation is named by you." β
After thinking for a while, Grolev said in a deep voice: "I can't think of it, I'm not good at giving an action a code name." β
Gao Yang thought hard for a long time, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "I also think of a code name that is a little more powerful and meaningful, but since we are going to kill some Japanese whaling ships and Japanese, let's give it a code name that sounds fierce, and some of the mongrels are elevated." β
Cui Bo immediately said: "Call it a dog slaughter operation? Or call it a pig killing operation? Or how about an insecticide eradication operation? Or be more generous, call it a sun-destroying operation." β
Gao Yang said disdainfully: "Phew! You don't like to eat pork? Dogs provoke you? Do you put the Japanese and pigs and dogs side by side, have you ever thought about the feelings of pigs and dogs? β
Li Jinfang applauded violently and said loudly: "Okay! That's it, it's simple, straightforward and imposing, it's called the Little Japan Action!"
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's kill Little Japan, it's officially started!" (To be continued......)
