The German Union Navy's nuclear submarine Oscar appeared off the coast of the Chinese Empire, posing a huge military threat to the Chinese Empire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The so-called coming and not being rude, the Imperial Chinese Navy immediately counterattacked. A week later, four Yuan-class attack nuclear submarines and six Ming-class strategic nuclear submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy first made a high-profile appearance at the Pearl Harbor base, secretly set off that night, crossed the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic, and then again appeared in a high-profile manner on the sea less than 200 kilometers from the base of the Northern Fleet of the German Navy.

The sudden arrival of the nuclear submarine squadron of the Chinese Empire from the North Pacific to the North Atlantic in just half a month undoubtedly gave the German Union and NATO a head start.

The German and Allied military were greatly frightened by this, and at first they thought that the nuclear submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy were incredibly fast, sailing 20,000 nautical miles in half a month. But soon this unrealistic conjecture was shattered, and the German military finally learned that the nuclear submarines of the Chinese Empire had passed under the Arctic Ocean.

It was only then that the German military paid attention to the Arctic Ocean, which was supposed to be a natural barrier.

Since the first nuclear submarine of the Chinese Empire, the Nautilus, completed its first ice submarine through the Arctic in Guanghua 43 years, the Imperial Chinese Navy has carried out more than 30 ice dives under very secret circumstances in order to obtain a strategic passage in the Arctic Ocean, which will serve as an important bargaining chip for the Chinese Imperial Navy's nuclear submarine force to quickly enter the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Ocean and threaten the strategic rear of the German Union.

After the Imperial Chinese Navy officially announced this achievement to the world, the sub-ice submersible operations were effectively stopped. Because one is that there were no competitors at that time. Second, this kind of voyage also involves great risk.

Now, the movement of the Chinese Imperial Navy's nuclear submarines through the Arctic Ocean once again poses a great strategic threat to the German Union. If left unchecked, the nuclear submarines of the Chinese Empire could easily approach the German Union through the Arctic Ocean and approach the German Union, and the German Union's navy, land and air forces had almost no warning time for a nuclear attack.

Soon, the German coalition launched a challenge to the Chinese Empire. In the summer of 1963, the German Navy nuclear submarine Odin made its first expedition to the North Pole and successfully floated in the ice gap at 84 degrees north latitude. The crew climbed the Arctic ice field, hoisted the German Union flag and even played football on the icefield. A year later. Two other German nuclear submarines departed from the Baltic Sea and diverted to the Pacific Ocean via the Arctic before visiting Japan. During the submarine under the ice, the German submarine repeatedly found the uniced water surface, simulated the missile silos, and practiced the vertical floating maneuver of the submarine.

The German Union nuclear submarine broke the Chinese Empire's patent for Arctic ocean diving, and the Chinese Empire was not reconciled to this. In the 65th year of Guanghua, the Chinese Imperial Liyu nuclear submarine crossed the three oceans and completed the world's first round of the world diving. It also declared that it has established an underwater nuclear missile defense system and will adopt a "nuclear strike strategy without counterattack." This move is another huge stimulus for Desliant.

The German Union was forced to rise to the challenge. But the circumnavigation of a single submarine is no longer very interesting, and it is better than the Chinese. It is necessary to engage in actions that no one else has done. Therefore, the German Navy put forward a plan to send three nuclear submarines to carry out a round-the-world formation submarine, which is expected to cross the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean in two months. The Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and then from the Pacific Northwest to Japan.

In the early hours of February 2, 1966, three nuclear submarines of the German Union European fleet quietly left the base in the pre-dawn darkness and headed for the east. The operation was extremely secretive. No one went to the pier to see them off, and very few people knew the whereabouts and true mission of these three nuclear submarines. However, soon after the departure of the submarine formation, an unexpected situation arose. A nuclear submarine suffered a serious failure in its nuclear power plant and had to withdraw from the operation. Two more nuclear submarines continue to carry out the submarine program. They dive along the same route, one after the other, strictly maintaining a pre-defined depth and distance. The two boats have established ultra-short-wave and ultrasonic underwater communication links. To keep the operation confidential. There are no traces along the way, and the navigation route is selected in remote sea areas of the oceans. This has invisibly increased the danger and difficulty of the voyage.

This dive was completely different from the submarine of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Emperor has carefully selected the submarine route of the Carp, so that the route is as close as possible to ports and bases around the world, so that in the event of an accident, the rescue ship can only rush to the accident site within one day and night. The submarine Carp was twice forced to surface during its submersion. One was to extinguish the fire, and the other was to hand over a seriously ill person to a warship that had rushed to the rescue.

Deutsche submarines, on the other hand, did not have naval bases and maintenance facilities around the world like the Chinese Empire. Its safety can only be pinned on the high quality of the submarine's own equipment and crew.

During the long voyage, the passage of German submarines through the sea area near the Antarctic was the most dangerous. It is also what the Navy headquarters is most worried about. According to the approved round-the-world route, the submarine formation was supposed to pass through the Drake Passage, bypass the Americas, and enter the Pacific Ocean. The ice conditions in the South China Sea north of the Falkland Islands are complex. In particular, the section leading to the Drake Passage is known as the Ghost Gate. The climate is harsh, and huge icebergs float all year round. The submariners knew very little about the situation here, and their limited knowledge of the sea was only obtained from the logbooks of former Russian navigators. In addition, icebergs here often accumulate into ice groups, and under their influence, there is a bright spot on the screen of the hydroacoustic equipment of the submarine, and useful signals are blocked. Here, the submarine actually sailed on the information provided by the sailing ship "Expedition" that passed here a long time ago.

In order to ensure the safe passage of submarine formations through the strait, the German Navy Headquarters sent a survey team consisting of the oceanographic expedition ship "Frankfurt" and the oil tanker "La Basket" to the South Atlantic in advance. The ocean expedition ships also brought reserve crews with each submarine. Submarines and reconnaissance flotillas forced their way across the strait through close coordination through radio contact.

The Drake Passage left an unforgettable impression on submariners, and Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America was not in vain. When passing through here, two behemoths with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons were swept away by the powerful currents at a depth of 70 meters, as if they were sailing on the water in a wave of 2-3 magnitude.

On March 26, 1966, two German Navy nuclear submarines arrived in Tokyo Bay to visit Japan as planned. At the same time, it announced the successful conclusion of the round-the-world submarine. The dive lasted 53 days. Range 25,000 nautical miles. During the submersible, the two nuclear submarines carried out hydrographic surveys of individual sea areas, surveyed the topography of the seabed, and opened up new routes. The submarine gained experience in organizing long-range ultra-long-wave communications under water. For the first time in history, at Cape Horn, South America, far from the mainland coast, the German Union submarine received a stable signal from its homeland at a depth of 18 meters.

At the end of the round of the world, Hitler won the 9th Führer election and once again became the top leader of the German League. Therefore, the large number of reports from the German Union up and down undoubtedly made this submarine even more eye-catching.

The success of the German Union naval formation's round-the-world submarine was undoubtedly a blow to the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire and its allied navies, which had numerous bases and observation posts around the world, knew nothing about the submarine. Due to this negligence, coupled with the sudden appearance of the German Navy nuclear submarine Oscar in the coastal waters of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Imperial Party was criticized by the public. Admiral Lee Sung-tae, who served as the head of the Imperial Navy's military command department and was in charge of maritime anti-submarine warfare, was forced to resign.

In the face of the panic of the citizens of the Empire, more than 10,000 telephones of the Imperial Ministry of Defense were blown up. In order to quickly quell public outrage, the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao nominated Lieutenant General Liang Yingqin as the head of the military command department and in charge of maritime anti-submarine operations.

General Liang Yingqin was a famous general of the Imperial Chinese Navy during World War II and had extensive experience in anti-submarine warfare. Immediately after taking office, he set about building anti-submarine forces against the nuclear submarines of the German Navy.

Before taking office, Liang Yingqin personally went to the Old Summer Palace to ask Wang Chenhao for coping strategies. The two had a long talk and exchanged their views and experiences. Based on his personal strategic thinking, combined with the current international situation and the anti-submarine construction of the Chinese Imperial Navy, Wang Chenhao pointed out several key antisubmarine strategies to Liang Yingqin, which played a crucial role in making Liang Yingqin a feared figure in the submarine forces of the German Union Navy in the future.

Liang Yingqin formed an anti-submarine unit. Naturally, weapons platforms such as cruisers, hunting ships, submarine hunters and anti-submarine aircraft used for anti-submarine operations are indispensable. The traditional anti-submarine forces of the Imperial Chinese Navy have always used surface ships and submarines as the main anti-submarine weapons, and anti-submarine aircraft can be used in conjunction with them. This anti-submarine mode was very effective during the interwar period. However, after the post-war fifties and sixties, it began to become obsolete.

This is evident in the fact that the enemy's submarines have achieved nuclear power, the depth of their diving has been greatly increased, and their ability to be silent has also been significantly improved. Traditional anti-submarine destroyers, anti-submarine cruisers, and submarine hunters need to spend a lot of effort to lock on to the enemy's submarines, but in many exercises, when they often lock on to the enemy's submarines, they themselves will also be attacked by torpedoes fired by enemy submarines, and it is almost a situation in which both sides lose or kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800.

However, with the rapid development and technological improvement of the Chinese Empire's electronic industry capabilities, anti-submarine equipment was miniaturized, and anti-submarine aircraft could carry more anti-submarine reconnaissance equipment and anti-submarine weapons for patrol. The advantage of attacking enemy submarines under the surface from the air is very obvious. On the one hand, anti-submarine aircraft patrol wide and fast. On the other hand, the enemy's submarines generally do not have the ability to fight against the air, so the anti-submarine aircraft can attack without any scruples, and the anti-submarine effect has been greatly improved.

In addition to continuing to expand the scale of traditional surface anti-submarine warships and underwater submarine hunting submarines, Liang Yingqin focused on the construction of antisubmarine aircraft. This is also an important anti-submarine direction pointed out to him by Wang Chenhao, including many modern anti-submarine modes such as anti-submarine helicopters and anti-submarine missiles.

The Osprey Y-1 water anti-submarine aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy during World War II was forcibly retired after Liang Yingqin came to power due to factors such as small load, slow speed, and outdated equipment. In its place was the new generation of anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the Chinese Empire, the Osprey II Y-2.

Compared with the first generation, the Osprey II anti-submarine patrol aircraft is designed as a Pegasus-28 long-range transport aircraft. It is equipped with 4 turboprop engines, an empty weight of 27 tons, a normal take-off weight, a standard landing weight, a maximum level flight speed of 761 km per hour, an economic cruising speed of 608 km per hour, a low-altitude patrol speed of 381 km per hour, a practical ceiling of 9625 meters, and a combat radius of 3800 km.

The Osprey II anti-submarine aircraft has a large radome in the lower part of the nose and a magnetic detector in the tail. Three people control the cockpit, the middle of the fuselage is the combat cabin, the crew is 10-12 people, the lower part of the fuselage before and after the wing of the aircraft is the front and rear two weapon compartments, which can carry RGB-1, RGB-2, RGB-3 sonar buoys, there are 10 external attachment points under the wing, and the anti-submarine weapons that can be carried are: mines, rockets, aerial bombs, depth charges, nuclear depth charges, anti-submarine torpedoes, flares, air-to-air missiles, Howling Sky Dog anti-ship missiles, etc. The detection range of radar for large ships reaches 550 km.

In the early 70s, with the brilliant debut of the Osprey II anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the anti-submarine power of the Imperial Chinese Navy soared, and the nuclear submarine force of the German Navy, which had always been complacent, suddenly fell into a huge crisis. It is constantly watched by the Imperial Chinese Navy around the world, and there is almost nothing to hide. At one time, the nuclear submarines of the German Navy were forbidden to carry out strategic patrol missions, and even were banned from leaving the port. (To be continued.)
