Chapter 213: I Take the Risk
There is no need to make a big deal about escorting, but judging from the current military strength of the Republic, it really needs to make a big move to carry out an ocean escort.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is certainly necessary to have large-tonnage warships to carry out ocean-going escorts, and it is quite dangerous to carry out ocean-going escorts without large-tonnage warships. At least at this time, 053, these veritable frigates can't do the escort business.
Commander Liu is naval commander knows much more about these matters than Yang Hui, and he began to calculate the formation configuration when he came out of Nie Shuai's office early.
"Well, on the issue of the configuration of warships, I already have a preliminary plan, first of all, this time we are visiting Pakistan in the name of the outside world, and it must not exceed the scale of the general visit, at most two or three of our 051-class destroyers, and then our supply ships, of course, just in case we also need a tugboat."
Hearing this configuration, Yang Hui really felt so cold, just like that, we still have to escort, 051 that tonnage, if you encounter any special climatic conditions, then prepare for non-combat attrition.
And what Yang Hui said is really not blowing, the tonnage of 051, coupled with the length and width ratio of the warship going to sea, its ability to resist wind and waves is so low, in the event of extremely special circumstances, although it will not capsize in general, but combat attrition is a nail in the coffin. It's not like you're safe when a big storm comes, and a lot of unexpected situations will happen.
If the Yellow Water Navy wants to challenge itself to the limit and take a risky voyage, it must be mentally prepared, and the voyage in 80 years has sacrifice indicators. These data are the backbone of the success of the No. 5 missile.
Yang Hui couldn't make a good suggestion about the arrangement of the navy, he could only do the same at most. Support a little as much as you can, after all, these are all escorting with their lives.
"Good. Such a surface ship configuration is the most luxurious now, and it should be the maximum capacity of the navy, so should the underwater escort force also be arranged? This depends on what you mean, Commander Liu, I think this still needs to be thought about, after all, our things this time are too sensitive. ”
Underwater escort forces, what it is, needless to say, everyone knows, it must be a submarine, but what kind of submarine is used, then it is exquisite. Not all submarines can escort ships in the ocean, although some conventional submarines can also achieve ocean-going navigation, but that is achieved when there are submarine support ships.
If the submarine support ship is pulled out during this foreign visit, won't it be clear that there are submarines on this trip? In addition to the main destroyer, you also pulled out the submarine during your foreign visit, not to mention that the situation is not ordinary.
Therefore, taking all the circumstances into account, in order to equip underwater forces in this ocean-going voyage, what level of submarine is naturally needed, of course, what is the performance of domestic wood-edged fish. That's another thing, and it's not enough to be told by the.
Hearing Yang Hui ask about the situation of the underwater force, Commander Liu took a closer look at Yang Hui, but still couldn't help but say it. It is better not to know these things.
"We have our own plans for underwater power, so don't ask, you can't know the secret level of our underwater power yet. Let's talk about surface ships. ”
It is not surprising that Commander Liu was reluctant to tell Yang Hui about the configuration of underwater forces. But Yang Hui can guess eighty percent. At this time, it was not clearly stated that underwater forces would not be sent, which was a certain degree of acquiescence. Yang Hui knew the result after a little analysis according to the situation of later generations.
Of course, Commander Liu didn't say it, and Yang Hui was not stupid enough to say the problem he guessed for verification, just know it, and silently rot in his heart, but this time the navy didn't talk about the allocation of underwater forces, so it was destined that the money for the underwater forces to go to sea this time would have to be paid for by the navy itself.
In this way, why not do Yang Hui: "Okay, let's not talk about underwater power, so how should we arrange our transport ship this time?" Is it necessary to pack such a large batch into several batches, or is it to be loaded onto a large ship? And the transport ships, where are we coming from? ”
The issue of transport ships really needs to be carefully planned, and it is certainly not possible to use transport ships other than the countries concerned, so naturally in the end there are only two options, either by the merchant ships of the state-owned shipping company of the Republic, or by Saudi transport ships, and anyway, it is impossible to use the landing ships of the Navy to carry these things for transportation.
Of course, if this procurement project is five to six years later and the missiles are changed to the purchase of solid missiles of the Republic, perhaps it can be considered that it will be directly smuggled underwater, and it should be the safest to think about it.
Now it can only be the most upright water transportation, which depends on the coordination of all aspects, and in the end, it can reach Saudi Arabia smoothly and send peace to the war-torn desert land of the Middle East.
Yang Hui asked about the issue of this transport ship, and Commander Liu was also struggling with what to do, from the perspective of safety, it is naturally best to use domestic merchant ships for transportation, but if this matter is exposed in the end, then the big project of the Republic this time will be solid, and there is no justification at all.
"It's a really tough question, why don't we contact the Saudi side and use their merchant ships for this shipment? In this way, even if this incident is exposed, we can fight to the death and not admit it, so that there is still a last way out. ”
Leave a way out, and now I still want to leave a way out, Yang Hui really hasn't thought about any way out, the project has been carried out at this time, where is the way out, and those merchant ships in Saudi Arabia Yang Hui really feel unsafe.
These Saudi gentlemen, where will anyone be willing to go to sea and run the ocean? I'm afraid that the crew and even the captain are all hired foreign products, and Yang Hui can't trust these people at all.
"Commander, where do we have a way out now, I think it's best to use domestic merchant ships, it's a big deal in the end, there is really no way, we just sink the ship, the Indian Ocean is very deep, and it can accommodate a small merchant ship."
Hearing that the ship would sink directly in the end, Commander Liu thought about it and felt that this method should be the safest, as long as the water depth of the sunken sea area was not too deep, there would generally be no problem.
But on the other hand, I feel that this plan is too much, this kind of thing, in the end, there will definitely be no time for those crew members to get out, and they will definitely sleep underwater.
Commander Liu had to admire Yang Hui for being able to say this plan so barely, although Commander Liu had already thought of this last measure in his heart, but Commander Liu still couldn't say it directly. A plan like this, as long as it is something that cannot be seen in the light, will be there in the end, but which one is not the last secret order.
Commander Liu thought of this, Yang Huiyan didn't know, and after seeing that Commander Liu listened to his words, there was no follow-up. Yang Hui feels that he still has to lead by example.
"Commander, this is the safest way, we have no choice, I am willing to be escorted with the ship this time, I dare not say that I will definitely arrive safely, but I dare to say that I will definitely put this life in the most dangerous place."
Yang Hui said this, not on the spur of the moment, he said this because he knew the situation in later generations, he understood that this project was a successful project, and even the merchant ships transported in the previous life were completely naked, at least there was no escort of the warships of the Republic on the water, but in the end it was the Americans who "escorted" all the way to the Middle East.
So what else is there to be afraid of in this life, what's the harm in expressing your determination, wading into a dangerous pass that is not dangerous, Yang Hui doesn't have much psychological pressure, and besides, it is completely impossible to escort a cargo like this kind without a person in charge on the ship, other people's lives are lives, and Yang Hui's own lives are not necessarily much noble.
Commander Liu heard that this young man was going to be escorted with the ship, and finally said no more, although Yang Hui didn't necessarily have much use if he went to the ship, but just because of this young man's anger, Commander Liu had to agree with him.
Anyway, Commander Liu also knew that self-destruction at the last moment was necessary no matter what, and now he just let himself agree to this plan more smoothly. (To be continued......)
