In fact, Admiral John Daniel's gloomy face has already said everything, this Soviet Pacific Fleet, which has been following behind the Seventh Fleet, has indeed made Admiral John Daniel feel a huge threat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry, the two fleets at opposite ends of the strait have a clear understanding of each other's strength.

In terms of strength, the US Navy can still fight the two Soviet Red Navies, but when it comes to the Seventh Fleet and the Soviet Pacific Fleet, this is not the case, the Pacific Fleet is the second largest fleet of the Soviet Union, if you do not count the Northern Fleet, which is full of nuclear submarines, the surface forces of the Pacific Fleet and the Northern Fleet are almost the same, and the US Seventh Fleet is almost the weakest fleet of the US Navy.

With more than 90 Soviet missile destroyers, a salvo can indeed send the Seventh Fleet under his command to the bottom of the sea, and Admiral John Daniel also understands this in his heart, and the Strait of Malacca limits the powerful combat capability of the US Navy.

But the same Admiral John Daniel also understands that once the Soviet Pacific Fleet moves, it will inevitably end up sinking as a whole, and the most powerful thing about the Soviet Navy is not their traditional sea power, but the Tu-22 bomber group that the Soviet Union is equipped with to cover the Red Navy.

For the Soviet naval aviation, which had a huge "Backfire" bomber group, the biggest problem was not the lack of firepower, but how to track the American aircraft carrier group over the vast ocean. Although the combat power of the "backfire" is strong, it must also be targeted. Due to the instability of the ionosphere near the poles, the Soviet Union, located in a high-latitude area, could not effectively use the skywave over-the-horizon radar, and its main means of tracking US military sea targets were radar ocean reconnaissance satellites and long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft. Soviet radar ocean reconnaissance satellites were notorious for carrying nuclear fuel.

Providing the "Backfire" bombers with updated target data is the Tu-95 long-range electronic intelligence aircraft. These large turboprop-powered aircraft have a large fuel load and good fuel economy, allowing them to cruise at sea for long periods of time in search of prey.

The most threatening group of backfire bombers was not among the nearby pro-Soviet countries, and Admiral John Daniel, with this intelligence support, was able to put down his heart that hung in his throat a little.

The news of the confrontation between two navies of similar tonnage but very different fighting styles in Malacca soon spread around the world. The countries of the Warsaw Pact camp accused the US Navy of playing maritime hegemony and that the Seventh Fleet should make way for the Soviet Red Navy, while NATO accused the Soviet Pacific Fleet of tracking the US Seventh Fleet very dangerously, and this tailgating is likely to have serious consequences.

There has never been a winner in this kind of war of words, and everyone cares about their own interests and will not put themselves in the shoes of others. Especially when it comes to dignity, the newspapers in the United States go a step further than European public opinion, agitating that the American Navy should give the Soviet Union a powerful look and defeat this challenger who appeared on the ocean.

The Pentagon will not respond to this kind of military blind argument at all, and the Strait of Malacca is not an ocean operation, and once a war breaks out, there will be only one result, the two fleets will be wiped out, and then a world war will break out.

Although the media war between the Soviet Union and the United States was fierce, it was far away from the site of the confrontation, and the solemn atmosphere of the scene could not be felt. Compared with the two camps far apart, Singapore, which is in the middle, has reached the point of uncontrollable fear.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet in the east and the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the west, two huge fleets, had blocked the Strait of Malacca, and not a single ship had docked since the morning, which embarrassed Singapore, as a transit point. The economic factors are only embarrassing. Life was more important than economic, because there were no ships to dock, and the battle formations of the United States and the Soviet Union were already in place, and the Singaporeans were in fear of the coming war.

Three days of this standoff quickly passed, and for three days, the golden waterway of Malacca was at a standstill, with no cruise ships docking, and if anything, the Soviet Pacific Fleet and the U.S. Seventh Fleet were closer to each other, and news came that Indonesia's anti-ship missile positions had been deployed.

For three days, Singaporeans had nothing to do but read newspapers and news, and all the TV shows and newspapers talked about the two fleets, without exception. No matter how they dodge, the cloud of war always hangs over the heads of Singaporeans, and this unprecedented pressure makes every Singaporean feel heavy.

Sin Chew Daily listed in detail the strength and combat plans of the two fleets of the Soviet Union and the United States, and pessimistically predicted that no matter which of the Soviets and the Americans made the first move, and how to counterattack later, as long as the war broke out, Singapore, which was in the middle, would be affected. The Soviet Red Navy has always carried nuclear warheads in combat, and as long as any missile hits Singapore, Singapore will become history, and the whole of Singapore will only be enough for a nuclear missile to explode.

"These superpowers don't take our voices seriously at all." A Singaporean said helplessly after reading the newspaper.

The narrow Strait of Malacca, which was once a very lively golden waterway, was filled with steamers every day, and it was the cargo ships of these countries that fed Singapore in the Strait of Malacca. But since a few days ago, this golden waterway has been empty except for the sound of the waves, which is very uncomfortable for Singaporeans who are used to busy work, as if at some point, the whole world has abandoned Singapore.

Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew called on the United States and the Soviet Union to cherish peace and resolve the issue through diplomatic means, but there was no response from either side, neither Admiral John Daniel nor Admiral Sbilidonov, nor did they take Singapore's feelings to heart, and for a soldier like them, such a small country has almost no weight.

"Commander, telegram from the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, General Serov." Among the flagships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, Admiral Spilidonov, who received a response from his country, was not a desperate adventurer, and knew that domestic attitude was very important. Because the tasks of the Pacific Fleet are related to military operations in Turkey, Serov is considered his boss for the time being.

"The General Commissar meant, continue the confrontation." Before the Soviet Ministry of Defense could respond, Admiral Spilidonov received support from Serov and asked him to contact the Indonesian Communist Party in Indonesia as support.

The relationship between the Soviet Union and Indonesia was very good, after all, the Vietnam War had just ended, and the Soviet Union, which was located in the cold zone, still relied on Indonesia to provide many unique tropical products, and the relationship between the two countries has always been very close. Moreover, most of the current members of the Indonesian Communist Party have become native Indonesians, and the native Indonesians are obviously pro-Soviet.

"It seems that the General Political Commissar does not have a good opinion of the White Russia of that country." The chief of staff of the fleet said with a smile from the side.

The ideological authority of the Soviet Union was Suslov, and secondly, Andropov was also in charge of this work, so the relationship between the two men was more complicated; in this case, Serov sometimes managed the ideological work of the military, and the political departments of the five major services had to obey the opinions of the General Political Commissar. Admiral Spilidonov and other generals of the Pacific Fleet also took part in the meeting in Moscow.

Serov also singled out the country of Singapore, comparing the city-state with Belarus abroad. Once you meet them, don't be polite, you can educate them, you must educate them.

"Commander, the U.S. Seventh Fleet turned south and did not enter the Strait of Malacca." While they were talking about Belarus, a staff officer walked in and reported, "What is our next move?" ”

What is it? Admiral Spilidonov picked up the microphone and ordered, "I'm Spilidonov, and now I order the Pacific Fleet to enter the Strait of Malacca!" "With the turn of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, the Soviet Pacific Fleet slowly advanced, and many warships split the waves and entered the Strait of Malacca.

Subsequently, the Soviet Pacific Fleet dropped anchor in the Strait of Malacca, blocking the entire strait. The ship took the lead in the direction of Singapore, and then sent people ashore to ask to use Singapore's ports for resupply, and the Pacific Fleet was already running out of fuel and could not return to the Soviet Union.

Of course, this is just an excuse, and there are many countries along the Soviet coast that can help them with this, and this is just to make Singapore understand that the US Navy can handle everything, and that the Soviet Red Navy will be here from time to time in the future.

In the face of the request of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, Singapore, which was ready to calm down, immediately cooperated, opened the port for the Soviet Red Navy to resupply, and Admiral Spilidonov sent a report to Moscow that the confrontation in Malacca had been resolved by the diversion of the US Navy, and the Soviet Union had won the victory.

After two days in Malacca, the Soviet Pacific Fleet began to return home. The confrontation in the Strait of Malacca ended once and for all, but the impact of the confrontation was so far-reaching that Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew soon publicly declared that the Soviet Union was the master of Eurasia, and that if anyone was the most influential person in the world, it was Leonid Brezhnev, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

On the same day, Serov announced that the site of the death of the first Armenians had been found along the Euphrates, and the wreckage of the scene exceeded five thousand, testifying to the existence of the Armenian massacre. (To be continued.) )
