Thank you Rick Dem, Zizhu for the tip! xiexie everyone!

【267】There are submarines?

Commander Deng Zhaoxiang, who was waiting to see the reaction of the Americans in the radar observation room, heard this and translated it to Political Commissar Chen Haitao beside him.

Political Commissar Chen exclaimed: "This Yankee! It's really a toad yawning, what a big breath! Lao Deng, what do you say? ”

Commander Deng thought for a while, looked at the high-resolution nautical charts hanging in the radar room, and the pitch-black sea in the distance outside the small circular porthole, raised the intercom and said:

"Cut the public channel."

"Yes, it's cut in."

Commander Deng cleared his throat and said:

"This is the Chinese People's Navy fleet, we are cruising in the Taiwan Strait, I repeat, US armed ships are not allowed to enter China's territorial waters without the permission of the Chinese government!"

Boone listened to the bold and strange answer of this guy with a London accent, and angrily put down the microphone, determined not to talk to the other party's "idiot" again, and he ordered: "Notify all ships!" As soon as I find this cunning dinghy of the other party, I will immediately sink him! Don't talk any more nonsense! Don't respond to the other person's signals! ”

With that, he turned to look at Radio Control Non-commissioned Officer Jesse and asked, "Can you determine the location of the other party?" ”

Walter Boone is very confident that the EF47 radiolocator on the Northampton-class heavy cruiser Chicago can work at the same time as the heavy cruiser Chester in the fleet for positioning and ranging, and the EF47 radiolocator on the two ships is turned on at the same time, in addition to determining the bearing, it can also calculate the approximate distance of the other party by the distance between the two ships and the angle between the target.

Radio Communications Control Non-commissioned Officer Jesse was busy and the radio non-commissioned officer on the Chester compared and calculated the data, and came to a conclusion three minutes after Walter Boone's question. Jesse replied, "Report to the General, the other side's radio source is about southwest, at least 100 nautical miles away from us. ”

Walter Boone was almost mad when he heard this.

"It can't be! These damn electronics! Fortunately, the United States did not rely solely on these radios to fight the Japanese, we also had artillery and planes! Jessie! Your name is Jesse, right? ”

"Yes, General!"

"I command you to do it again! This result is impossible! The other party is so far away, it is impossible to find us! Unless we have their scout ship nearby, but the listeners in your radio room haven't made any reports of radio signals nearby! So, you must have miscalculated. ”

Captain Jesse had to hurriedly use the hand-cranked computer to calculate again, and when the data came out, he quickly compared the calculation table, and the result made him breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was not wrong, according to the reference value of the calculation table, the other party is indeed 100 nautical miles away, that is, about 185 kilometers away, of course, taking into account the equipment error, the farther away the greater the error, this value is only approximate, but no matter how the error is, it cannot be within a few tens of kilometers near the Seventh Fleet!

While running in his heart, Jesse patiently explained the working principle of the equipment to Major General Walter Boone, the big boss with yellow lips and mustaches, and repeatedly emphasized his conclusions.

Walter Boone frowned slightly, and analyzed: "Even our American radiolocation equipment cannot say the latitude and longitude so accurately, and the Chinese can't do it, even the Russians can't do it!" So, they couldn't have been so far away and could have detected us exactly by listening to the radio! And the reconnaissance aircraft could not be dispatched at night, at least I am sure that they could not have a night reconnaissance aircraft, and the reconnaissance boat was not found nearby to make a radio report to the Chinese, so ...... They have submarines! ”

At this thought, Walter Boone suddenly became irritable.

He continued to analyze to the staff officers around him: "The Chinese have never had submarines, even if the Russians provide submarines to the Chinese, without at least one year of training, it is impossible to form combat effectiveness, and a grass bird submarine cannot approach us without being detected!" Gentlemen! Maybe we have Russian submarines near us! ”

Major Frank was noncommittal, and retorted to his new boss mercilessly: "This can't be, the distance of the communication sonar is very short, and it may be barely able to communicate within a few kilometers, but hundreds of kilometers, how much power does this need?" Even if they were able to do so, the sonar detection equipment on the Fletcher-class destroyers would have no trouble spotting this huge sonar signal. I prefer to believe that the Chinese got a super-high-power radar from the Russians, and if the Chinese installed this high-power radar on the high mountains on the shore, they could theoretically detect us almost 300 kilometers offshore. ”

Walter Boone was very anxious about Major Frank's IQ and said: "Frank, there is no sea-to-sea radar on this shijie that can detect 150 kilometers, even if it is installed in the mountains, it is impossible, and the US Navy's shore-to-ship radar is currently only 120 kilometers effective, and this is only a theoretical value." I'm still inclined to my own judgment, the Russians' submarines are roaming around us, and the other side may not be using communication sonar, but it is possible that they are using ultra-longwave radios, and our radio monitoring may have missed the time and frequency band that the other side transmitted, after all, we can't do full-band uninterrupted monitoring. ”

Major Frank thought that this was indeed possible, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, General Boone. ”

Boone said lightly with conceit: "That's nothing. ”

Convinced of their own judgment, the Seventh Fleet immediately converted the surface search to a sonar underwater search in accordance with Boone's instructions, and the six Fletcher-class destroyers and four Gryves-class destroyers in the formation immediately threw all the towed sonars into the sea and began to sift the sea with these long tails over and over again.

Commander Deng Zhaoxiang, who was in the distance, looked at the radar screen and said: "They seem to be still circling in place, probably wondering how we found theirs, according to this logic, the Americans will not be at ease if they do not turn the surrounding waters upside down." ”

Political Commissar Chen Haitao said with a smile: "Then let the Americans toss it, as long as they don't enter the Taiwan Strait, they can toss as much as they like." ”

Chen Xingde, deputy captain of the Xining, said with a smile: "This black light is blinding, they want to search the nearby sea, but I am afraid that it will not be completed without dawn." ”

Commander Deng Zhaoxiang said jokingly: "I'm afraid that he will search the sea surface and search the water again, then we really have a diorama to see." ”

Political Commissar Chen Haitao wiped a cold sweat and said: "Fortunately, our two submarines, 209 and 210, are following the fleet in action, if you touch it to check, it will be really dangerous." ”

Commander Deng Zhaoxiang nodded and said: "Now our submarine can only pretend, if the training time of this thing is too short, it will have no combat effectiveness." Lin Zun went to Germany to study submarine jishu for two years, and came back to tell me that once this thing dives, to put it bluntly, it is to open it with its eyes closed, but it can't be wrong, if there is no hydrographic data of the relevant sea area, it is almost impossible to move an inch, but once the combat effectiveness is formed, the power of the submarine is often unexpected. ”

………………

The North Sea Fleet was chatting happily while looking at the diorama, but the US Consulate in Taiwan finally got in touch with the Ninth Corps Headquarters in the evening of the same day, and Consul General Robert Strong officially conveyed Washington's request, or order, to Commander Su Yu, who had just disembarked from the mouth of the Tamsui River in Taipei and rushed to Taipei City.

"Commander Su, I have the honor to convey to you a message from Mr. Harry S. Truman, President of the United States, and we hope that you can agree to the entry of the American fleet into the port of Tamsui or Keelung for the evacuation and replenishment of overseas Chinese, which is also the will of the American people, and of course, we are willing to pay a reasonable price for the supplies." Robert Strong followed the instructions of the White House, coupled with his own understanding, and said casually with his chin cocked in the style of an American villager.

Looking at Robert Strong's cockfighting-like neck and his chin that could almost be hung with an oil bottle, Commander Su thought about the strategic deployment of the central government, and said with patience: "We can allow you to come in a boat, there are not many Americans in Taiwan, there are only about 300 in total, and one boat is completely enough." ”

Robert Strong said: "If there is one ship, we cannot guarantee the safety of navigation, and the American warships are completely configured according to the quota, and it will be too crowded if all of them are on one ship, and these more than 300 people must be evenly placed on ten destroyers. ”

As soon as Commander Su heard this, he felt that the other party was looking for trouble, but because of the central authorities' instructions on minimizing friction with the United States at present, he said patiently: "Then two will come in at a time and be transported away five times." ”

Robert Strong continued: "Mr. President, I hope you will be able to let the Chinese in Taiwan who wish to become American citizens leave with us. ”

Commander Su couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and he reprimanded the old man, who never blushed with anyone, to his face: "Director General Robert, please remember that this is China, and everything must be carried out in accordance with Chinese laws." The issue of immigration is currently under the management of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country and must be resolved through normal diplomatic channels. ”

Robert Strong saw that the leader of the confession didn't nod his head until now, and secretly scolded these mud-legged people in his heart for not knowing how to lift, this is going to be replaced by Chang Kaishen's group of monkey cubs, Lao Tzu didn't say what it was.

"Mr. Su, I must remind you that the U.S. Seventh Fleet is currently waiting to carry out the presidential order off the coast of Taipei, and please do not obstruct our evacuation of the expatriates. Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences. Robert Strong took out his rudeness as a small Nebraska landowner and began to brazenly threaten Commander Su. In his view, these Chinese should be grateful that the United States did not send troops to interfere in China, a continent and island full of American interests.
