After weighing the pros and cons, France finally felt that it was better to support its own economy than to support Israel.

After first bargaining with His Excellency Qusay, Boursicot finally agreed, and the French Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning Israel's invasion of Lebanon, condemning Israel's ignorance of United Nations resolutions and supporting the United Nations decision to allow Israel to withdraw its troops immediately and unconditionally.

After Zhang Feng and Prince Fahd's discussions, OPEC member countries resumed the agreement on pro-rata crude oil exports to France, and France's arms sales projects with these countries are still going on normally, France is the first to get out of the terrible economic crisis that may occur, and the situation caused by the shortage of oil in the country has been alleviated.

In the old capitalist countries, it is not monolithic!

Zhang Feng knows that even after the integration of Europe into the European Union in later generations and the use of a common currency, the euro, is also the case, when the economy is in danger, each member state is not so selfless, and saving their own country's economy is the primary task.

In any case, France is also outside NATO and is under little pressure from the United States.

In the United States, many Jews from large corporations have already gotten the news and have begun to actively campaign, lobbying people from all sides in the hope of resuming arms deliveries to Israel, and they themselves have begun to actively donate money to support Israel's fighting.

The most united and wealthy people in the world are the Jews, especially the humiliation they have suffered for two thousand years, and they desperately need the desire of the Jews for their own country, and after having this country, they have done everything to preserve the idea of this country, so that their national cohesion has reached the highest level.

Under this wave, President Reagan's think tank began to waver a little again.

No one noticed that at this time in the Mediterranean, under the calm sea, it had become very lively.

Although there was a constant struggle at the top of the Soviet Union for the supreme power, a huge red empire, its lower echelons, was still functioning normally, especially its military establishments, which were fulfilling their duties to the letter.

American aircraft carriers entered the Mediterranean, seriously irritating the Black Sea Fleet of the USSR.

At this time, the Polar Bear, there were three powerful fleets, the Northern Fleet, the Pacific Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet.

The Black Sea Fleet's range of operations is the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, it has several bases in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, its main base is the Ukrainian port city of Fort Seva, and the fleet command is located in Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula.

The strategic task of the Black Sea Fleet is to take control of the Turkish Straits and counter the 6th Fleet of the US Navy out of the Mediterranean; disrupting oil routes in Europe and sea lines of communication from the United States to Asia; cross the Strait of Gibraltar, enter the Atlantic, and encircle Europe from the southern flank; Support for the Indian Ocean Detachment.

The Black Sea Fleet is the only all-weather fleet in the Soviet Navy that is not afraid of frozen siege, with a total of 833 large and small ships, including 45 large surface ships, 56 submarines, more than 150 aircraft, 85 carrier-based helicopters, and a large number of coastal and air defense equipment, with a total strength of about 80,000 people.

The Americans, ignoring their own existence, entered the Mediterranean Sea in a big way, and although there were no orders from the top management, the Black Sea Fleet dispatched two submarines, K-316 and K-317, to reconnoitre.

As the navy of the Red Empire, the submarine forces are in the Atlantic, and often play hide-and-seek with the American aircraft carrier formations and submarines, and this time is naturally no exception.

Moreover, the complex current situation under the Mediterranean Sea is more suitable for submarine activities, as long as it is not close to the coastline, the Mediterranean Sea with an average depth of 1,500 meters is enough to attack nuclear submarine activities.

This time, the two latest V-3 submarines, also known as the Victor-class, were the first submarines to enter service in 78 years, with a length of 107 meters, a width of 10.8 meters, and a draft of 7.6 meters. The surface displacement is 4850 tons, and the underwater displacement is 7889 tons. The power plant is two VM-4P pressurized water nuclear reactors with a surface speed of 18 knots and an underwater speed of 30 knots. The safe dive depth is 400 meters, and the ultimate diving depth is 600 meters. The crew is 90 people.

A variety of modern equipment is installed, many of which are made of titanium alloy, which makes it extremely resistant to detection.

Now that the opponent's aircraft carrier formation has arrived in the Mediterranean, it is a good opportunity to spy on them!

The two submarines were quietly sailing underwater, and instead of blindly following the American aircraft carriers, they chose to be in an ideal area, waiting on the necessary route.

Two submarines, twenty nautical miles apart, waited silently.

The U.S. Navy has strong anti-submarine measures, so it is not easy to successfully break through their anti-submarine circle.

Moreover, before they arrived in this area, they followed behind the merchant ships to minimize the possibility of their own exposure.

At this time, the Kennedy aircraft carrier formation had already entered the Mediterranean.

The American aircraft carrier fleet is very powerful.

Led by the Kennedy aircraft carrier, there are 2 Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers on both sides, 2 Ali Burke-class missile destroyers in the front and rear, 1 Spruance-class destroyer in the forefront, 1 Perry-class frigate, and under the water in front, there are 2 Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines.

Coupled with the combat radius of carrier-based aircraft, the entire aircraft carrier formation is a mobile fortress at sea.

At this time, the two Victor-class submarines were quietly suspended below the surface of the sea, and even the sailors were very careful when they moved, and in the sea, the sound was the most terrible thing to expose themselves.

The sonar soldier was at the quietest front of the ship, listening carefully to the sound coming from the passive sonar.

Each sonar soldier has undergone strict training, and can hear the special sound of each type of warship from the sonar.

He counted in his mind, carefully discerning from the mass of noise.

Frigates, destroyers, well, big aircraft carriers are finally here!

"Report, now the aircraft carrier of the Americans is over our heads, 18 knots, direction two-three-one." The sonar whispered to the captain.

"Attention, attention to the main engine room, the two reactors are starting up, the speed is eighteen knots, the direction is two-three-one, and it rises to eighty." The captain of a submarine began to give orders.

The huge submarine K-316, began its own predation operation.

His tactic is very simple, now, in the center of the opponent's firepower network, keep up, follow next to the opponent's aircraft carrier, and launch a simulated attack!

In the Cold War, a hostile simulated attack by such submarines would occur at any time, and the loser would come to the surface, as long as it surfaced, it would be considered a towel.

The captain would not give up such a time, and he was able to break through the defense network of the Yankees' navy and enter the Soviet submarines near the aircraft carrier, and there were only a few in total, which could be counted on one hand.

In addition to tactics, luck is also very important.

For example, now, the Yankees have searched the Mediterranean Sea several times in advance with roadbed anti-submarine aircraft, and they have not found these two submarines that have been silent.

However, as the nuclear reactor of the submarine is put into operation, in order to reach a speed of eighteen knots, then the main circulating water pump must be turned on, and the noise will increase.

The US ship did not release the towing array sonar, but only used the sonar on the bow of the ship, and the warship behind the aircraft carrier found an abnormal sound in the direction of the aircraft carrier in front.

However, it didn't last for more than ten seconds before the noise disappeared.

The sonar soldier did not hesitate and immediately reported the situation.

The entire aircraft carrier formation suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy, and the fleet commander knew very well what this noise meant.

Could it be that a Soviet submarine has come to you?

From the Turkish air base, a land-based anti-submarine aircraft took off and joined the search.

The warships on the periphery, the two Los Angeles-class submarines under the water, also began to search.

Sensing the noise of the surrounding warships, the captain of the K-316 said calmly: "Then float up to a depth of sixty meters." ”

And then float up?

The submariners knew that this time their boss was going to play with their lives.

At the bottom of the sea, how many meters can be stabilized is only an approximation, especially in this kind of inland sea close to the shore, the current fluctuates abnormally, and if it collides with a US ship, it will not be fun.

The submariners cautiously steered, the bow of the boat was raised, and it rose again.

At a depth of sixty meters, they stabilized the course.

"In the lower right, there is an attack nuclear submarine." The sonar soldier reported. What made him even more incredible was that the submarine actually turned on the active sonar as if it were desperate.

The Yankees were cornered.

According to the report of the sonar of the warship in the back, the damn submarine was probably hidden underneath the aircraft carrier, hidden in the noise of the aircraft carrier.

This is a very huge threat, although I don't know how the other party got in, but since it has entered, it has to be blasted out!

In order to find out the other party, the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine did not hesitate to take the way of exposing itself and used active sonar to detect it.

Sonar is divided into two types: active and passive, passive sonar only receives sound waves and is used to monitor the surrounding situation, while active sonar emits sound waves by itself, so that it will be received by the other party's sonar, just like a flashlight in the dark, exposure is certain, in the world of submarines, exposing one's own location is equivalent to suicide.

However, suicide is also better than an aircraft carrier being attacked by the other side, and the Los Angeles-class submarine had no choice but to adopt this tactic.

The sound waves emitted by the active sonar hit the side wall of the submarine, and the sound is very crisp and infectious, which means that the other party can launch torpedoes.

Active sonar, somewhat similar to radar, is used at the last minute, before a torpedo is fired.

The sonar soldier knew that if he let the other party search like this, he would eventually find himself.

"Then go up to a depth of forty meters." The captain said calmly.

Forty meters? The sailors looked at the captain with some surprise, and above their heads, it was an American aircraft carrier! The draft of the aircraft carrier is already ten meters, and the submarine of our own side, counting the conning tower, is about fifteen meters high, and the distance between the two sides is only a dozen meters.

You know, what they are indulging in is not a racing car on the track that can change direction at any time, but a nuclear submarine of several thousand tons! For it to move, it will take more than a dozen people to work together.

"Execute the order." The bearded captain said.

The huge submarine is floating again, and if someone can take pictures under water, then, as you can see, the submarine is almost attached to it, and if the mast is not retracted from the conning tower, it will plunge into the belly of the aircraft carrier by a few meters.

"The other party accelerated." The submariners heard that the propellers of the aircraft carrier sped up.

The aircraft carrier accelerates, it is not to drive a car, as soon as you step on the accelerator, it will run, the propeller will accelerate and rotate, and the speed will slowly increase, and this will take several minutes.

"Full speed ahead, we can't afford to lose." The captain said that under his feet, a submarine powered by two nuclear reactors, it would not be a problem to keep up with the other carrier.

As the captain gave the order, the submarine also accelerated.

The higher the speed and the closer the distance, the more dangerous it becomes.

However, the results were also obvious, they threw off the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine that searched for them and were not found.

"Be careful, slowly descend to depth, sixty." The bearded man also knows the danger, and while hiding himself, it is also necessary to keep a distance.

However, something terrible happened.

The captain of the aircraft carrier received information that the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine had scanned all the areas below it and found nothing, but he was still not at ease.

At this point, he made a move that was even crazier than the Soviets.

"Attention to all, attention to all, especially the personnel on the deck, fix your body, full rudder!"

When each aircraft carrier leaves the factory for sea trials, it has to carry out a full rudder operation at full speed, and the scene is very spectacular, but after that, it is rarely carried out.

Full speed and full rudder, that is a test for the aircraft carrier.

Now, everyone who is on the aircraft carrier has a deep understanding, because, with the full rudder at full left, the huge aircraft carrier weighing tens of thousands of tons, the body is tilted to the left, and the deck has also become tilted, drawing a beautiful and domineering arc on the sea surface.

The submarine can keep up with the speed of the opponent's aircraft carrier, but it will definitely not keep up with the speed of the opponent's turn, or rather, he will not detect the opponent's turn at all.

No matter how sensitive the sonar is, it can't hear the sound of the servo turning.

What's worse is that in order to avoid collision, the submarine has carried out a downward movement, and if it goes down slowly, the tail will also rise.

Normally, it has been sailing forward without problems, but now this amazing action of the opposing aircraft carrier has made the underwater currents begin to fluctuate.

Even a submarine of several thousand tons was affected, it drove and shook, the depression angle was greater, and the tail tragically crashed into the tail of the aircraft carrier.

At the tail of the aircraft carrier, there were four large propellers, each weighing several tens of tons, which collided with the propellers of the submarine, and tragedy occurred on both sides.

At this time, the aircraft carrier was turning, and there was a shock from the rear, and the captain immediately ordered, stabilize the hull and check the rear!

And the submarine, the rear part was sandwiched between the two propellers of the aircraft carrier, and it dried up so hard that the left and right horizontal tail rudders and propeller shafts were damaged, and the submarine had to surface, and due to the loss of power, it could not move forward.

And the aircraft carrier, at this time, only the two propellers in the rear are damaged, and low-speed navigation is okay.

However, the submarine that surfaced not far from the aircraft carrier made everyone feel that there was a big trouble at this time!
