"What?! You say that the Chinese actually ordered us to surrender?! "Commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Edud? Baldin's face was full of incredulity and anger, and he angrily banged on the table in front of him.

"No naval sailor with a sense of honor will surrender to anyone without a battle, are the Chinese blind to nobody?" How to look down on our heroic Black Sea Fleet so much! Commander Bardin grumbled, and after a moment he paused again, changed his tone, and asked again:

"What do you say about St. Petersburg?"

Kravchenko, the general of the Black Sea Fleet, said with a bitter smile: "St. Petersburg said that we can make our own decisions, whether we choose to submit to the Chinese or refuse the Chinese's orders, they will understand." ”

Barding was even more angry when he heard this, and said, "At this time, you are still playing with a spear? No wonder Yeltsin, the useless lackey of the West, will eventually lose to that mad dog from Makashev! ”

The reason why Yeltsin gave an ambiguous account to Bardin, in fact, was a lot of consideration. On the one hand, if you openly support Bardin's rejection of China's demands, it is to offend the Chinese, and now the Chinese are Yeltsin's only hope for defeating Makashev; And if it is openly said that Baldin will surrender to the Chinese, then Russia's national body and national character will be damaged, and this little braid will definitely be pulled out and attacked in the future; There is also the fact that Yeltsin thought that giving the Black Sea Fleet greater autonomy would be a good sale of Bardin and the Black Sea Fleet.

Anyway, the Russian Federation does not have the strength to control the Russian Navy at all, and the Navy is like an outsider from the beginning of the war to the present, and it is not a day or two to move a small bench and sit there while eating melon seeds and watching the excitement, Yeltsin knew that his words were useless, so why should he say it so clearly.

But in Bardin's view, Yeltsin's words that are not yin and yang are really annoying, and no one wants to see that the leader of a country is not responsible, let alone willing to consider and be responsible for the following. At the beginning, when Gorbachev was in office, he offended the army for repeatedly using his subordinates as scapegoats, and after Yeltsin's troubles began, no one in the army stood up for Gorbachev.

"What the hell is wrong with Russia, and is there a future?" In his opinion, Yeltsin is a stupid dog and a traitor dog, and Makashev is a mad dog and a leper dog, and if Russia depends on these two creatures for tomorrow, there is really no future.

Even though the PLA Navy has really been in the limelight several times in recent years, the Rim of the Pacific military exercises, Southeast Asia's fight against Malaysia, the Taiwan Island Liberation War, the Gulf War, etc., have performed eye-catching, and now authoritative figures believe that the Chinese Navy is the second navy in the world after the United States.

"The navy is not a few glamorous ships that can improve combat effectiveness, there is no glorious naval tradition and soul, it is just a group of boatmen!" Bardin was quite arrogant in his heart, and in fact he was also drooling with envy of the ships of the Chinese Navy.

The USSR fell, the union republics were divided, the Pacific Fleet was owned by the Far Eastern republics, and the Black Sea Fleet was divided between Ukraine and Russia. The Baltic Fleet itself is small, and after the independence of the three Baltic countries, it lost most of its operational sites and facilities, because of lack of funds, two-thirds of its ships were retired from active service, and a large number of sailors were demobilized and returned home, and the current Baltic Fleet cannot even be called a fleet. The Northern Fleet has largely fallen into the hands of Russia, which has a large number of nuclear submarines and was comparable to the US Seventh Fleet at the peak of the Cold War.

On the other hand, the Chinese Navy has tens of thousands of tons of new ships added to active service every year, and the quality of their ships is by no means comparable to that of the old ships of the Soviet Red Navy. Aegis ships, nuclear aircraft carriers, and nuclear submarines are all the world's top military vessels, and even the introduction to Jane's Defense Weekly's Naval Ship Yearbook believes that no one in the world can stand out from China in terms of the design of naval ships alone.

Bardin's mental activity is actually like a poor ghost riding a bicycle by himself, seeing a rich man who drives a BMW, and secretly scolding others for their lack of education and not being as moral as himself.

In any case, Bardin could not afford the "reputation" of "captain of the surrendered fleet", so he sent only one order to the Chinese expeditionary fleet: forgive me.

Zhang Lingzhong, deputy commander of the Navy with the PLA expeditionary fleet, received Bardin's reply, sneered, and explained: "Toast and don't eat and drink, in this case, let's not be polite to these old hairs, do you think that now is twenty or thirty years ago, when they can become bigger?" ”

"A quick battle, the Thunder Furious Strike operation has begun, the Air Force and the Second Artillery Corps will launch an offensive in the east tomorrow, if our navy is slow, it will be looked down upon!" Zhang Lingzhong encouraged that in his eyes, the few broken ships of the Black Sea Fleet were really nothing.

The Black Sea Fleet has 2 aircraft-carrying cruisers (Kiev-class), 7 cruisers, 9 destroyers and 10 frigates, and like the navies of the Red States, it maintains a large number of corvettes and missile boats. Since the beginning of the transformation in the 85 years, the Chinese Navy has taken the road of large-scale warships, and the establishment of missile boats and frigates has been withdrawn from active service. However, the coast guard now operates a number of warships with similar functions.

The Black Sea Fleet seems to have a large lineup, but in reality the maintenance and logistics of these ships are very problematic, not to mention normal training, I don't know how long they haven't done it. In addition, there are a large number of ships in the fleet from the sixties, which are simply unable to adapt to today's high-tech naval warfare environment, and are purely to send experience points to the Chinese expeditionary fleet.

"One more ultimatum, don't 'join the expeditionary fleet' within 6 hours, and take all the responsibility!" Zhang Lingzhong is not young, but the tiger is old and majestic, and he has also paid attention to absorbing new operational concepts and tactics over the years, and this war may be the last battle in his military career, and he hopes to be able to fight beautifully and become the most glorious chapter of his military career.

On the other end, Baldin received an ultimatum from Zhang Lingzhong, and his anger was even fuller, "Okay, since the Chinese want to fight, we will accompany them to fight, let them know that there are only Russian sailors who are buried in the sea, and there are no groveling Russian sailors!" ”

Kravchenko said worriedly: "But, Commander, our chances of winning against the Chinese Navy are really ......"

Baldin interrupted his words and said stiffly: "This battle must be fought, and if we do, we may die, but the soul of St. Andrew's Cross is still there, and one day our descendants will raise this flag again and proudly show the world once again the majesty of the Slavs on the sea." But if we surrender like this, our names will be engraved on the pillar of shame, and the future Sea Soul Shirts will be ashamed of us! ”

Having said that, no matter how much Kravchenko is not confident in the battle, he must follow Baldin to grit his teeth and hold on. He knew that what Baldin said was right, that Russia was now a teaser in the eyes of the people of the world, and more and more people regarded Russia, which once terrified the world, as a big joke. There have been too many embarrassing and embarrassing moments in this war, and someone must stand up and build an immortal monument for Russia's future recovery and revival, even if it is full of pathos.

But even so, because of the long-term combat readiness carrying, aging of equipment, and poor maintenance, the Black Sea Fleet did not complete its combat preparations within four hours of Baldin's combat order, and even the anchor hooks of some ships that were supposed to go to battle were not pulled.

Bardin looked at the Black Sea Fleet in a hurry, and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, I don't know when, the Black Sea Fleet and the entire Russian army are already so unbearable, they are not warlike soldiers at all, they are all silverfish waiting for death.

"Fight, fight! Perhaps only dying in battle is a decent way to get out! "Overwhelmed by pessimism, Baldin boarded the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Glory. The two "aircraft carriers" of the Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva and St. Petersburg, are not even capable of fighting in this war.

Bardin ordered in a deep voice, "Go out of the harbor, don't wait for them." ”

Kravchenko exclaimed: "Commander, if we leave behind the ships that are being prepared, we can only meet the battle with 30% of the combat strength of the whole fleet at most, so there is no way to ...... at all" Speaking of this, Kravchenko stopped talking, because he reacted, even if the Black Sea Fleet is deployed by the whole army, can it beat the Chinese expeditionary fleet?

Impossible, on the opposite side is a huge group of surface main combat ships with 1 aircraft carrier, 3 amphibious assault ships, 4 cruisers, 11 destroyers and 9 frigates, and it is not known how many nuclear submarines are hidden underwater. To put it mildly, even the firepower of four Chinese Aegis cruisers is enough to break through the victorious Black Sea Fleet, let alone now?

The distance between Constanta, the base of the expeditionary fleet, and Sevastopol, the base of the Black Sea Fleet, is more than 400 kilometers, which is too close for the Chinese fleet to launch an offensive without getting rid of the Black Sea Fleet.

Zhang Lingzhong was also quite surprised by this, and whispered: "I didn't expect these old hairs to still have a little backbone, but is it so easy to die standing up?" We'll put you on the ground and beat you to death!" ”

This young deputy commander of the Navy has a different kind of stubborn temper, in his opinion, the Black Sea Fleet is such a cargo, don't put any big cloves of garlic, hurry up to get the dragon set lunch and bow three times, their expeditionary fleet is still rushing to attack the Russian interior.
