Chapter 897: Straight to Japan
readx;
Compared with the encounter with the Baton Ruri, the situation was much better on the K-132 in the distance, and with instructions from Moscow, Yezhov finally accepted the help of the Iraqi personnel, but this help did not have much effect, because the submarine had been deeply stuck in the reef, and what was even more troublesome was that this second accident caused the deformation of the non-pressurized shell on the outside, stuck inside, and could not come out at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info{{}}
Soviet specialists in dealing with the accident were also coming quickly.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night, the United States and the Soviet Union, both in the Persian Gulf trying their best to rescue their submarines, the United States submarines are relatively lucky, with the help of tugboats, close to the Iraqi shipyards, with the help of slipways, check the damage to their submarines, their means of dealing with it, is very correct, although this has cost a high price, and even their own side has to use the sale of several backward E-2 pre-jing aircraft to win over the Iraqis, however, they did not have more problems.
However, on the Soviet side, there was a lot of trouble, the Soviet nuclear submarines were very thick, so the captains were also rough in style, and Yezhov made a mistake in the submarine, and the handling process was even more wrong, which led to this incident.
When Soviet specialists arrived, they were helpless about the situation. {{}}
Because this is a shallow water, the rescue ship cannot carry out salvage operations, and if it wants to tow it out, it is stuck too tightly, and the tow cannot be moved, and there is a danger of breaking the already damaged hull of the submarine.
However, neither the parties, the USSR nor the United States, made any comments on this event, the world's media. But there was a lot of discussion.
Among them, a report by Agence France-Presse has attracted the most attention from the world.
In this report, it tells about a Soviet nuclear submarine that was tracked by a U.S. nuclear submarine under the sea, and in order to get rid of the U.S. tracking, the nuclear submarine entered the Persian Gulf. As a result, American nuclear submarines followed, since the Persian Gulf is relatively small. So, when the Soviet nuclear submarine was turning, it collided with the American nuclear submarine. The U.S. nuclear submarine urgently surfaced, while the Soviet nuclear submarine was unharmed, but, because it was not familiar with the shipping lane, it accidentally ran aground when it was out of the Persian Gulf.
The analysis and reasoning of this accident are relatively close to the truth, but. Crucially, the analysis that followed this report was even more important, in particular, the propeller in the tail of the Soviet nuclear submarine. The analysis is so meticulous that it is simply the tone of a professional nuclear submarine designer.
No matter how the Soviet nuclear submarine was improved, the noise was huge, because, the Soviet nuclear submarine did not have advanced propeller processing technology, but. In this picture, we can see that the Soviet Union has abandoned the original commonly used five-blade propeller and replaced it with a seven-bladed large side inclined propeller, this advanced propeller, the Soviet Union's industrial technology, can not be manufactured, the only possibility is that the Soviet Union from the West, the introduction of multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools!
This kind of machine tool, which can process propellers of complex shapes with a high degree of jing, belongs to the strategic materials that Batumi is strictly forbidden to export to the Soviet Union, and now the countries that produce such machine tools are basically the United States, Great Britain and RIBEN. Among them, it is impossible for the United States to export to the Soviet Union, and the British are not very likely, only the Riben, their business representatives, have been sneaking around in Moscow.
A big reason for this collision may be that the noise of the Soviet nuclear submarine has been significantly reduced, which caused the United States to have to get close to the tracking, so a serious collision accident occurred, because the Soviet Union adopted a new type of propeller, the US Navy has lost the advantage of hydroacoustics, for the US Navy, for NATO, it is a big blow. This kind of sale in violation of Batumi is punishable by serious sanctions!
This report has made all the eyes of the world focus on these countries that may sell such advanced machine tools, and the most suspicious is RIBEN.
"I didn't expect that our CIA would not be as useful as this report!" President Reagan said dissatisfied.
After the incident, the reaction of the US Navy was very strong, and the key question was not that the submarine was hit, but the great threat posed by this silent submarine of the Soviet Union.
This newspaper analyzed it very correctly, it must have interviewed professional people, and came to the conclusion that multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools, although they were civilian, were strategic materials that were banned from being exported to the USSR, and now, inside Batumi, there are people who export such things to the USSR, for their own interests, to the entire NATO, to the United States, causing great harm.
"We at the CIA are investigating this matter, and Riben's suspicious Xing is indeed the biggest." Casey said that they were indeed investigating, but this was probably a few years ago, and they hadn't paid attention to it, so it was very difficult to re-investigate. {{}}
Even so, being able to analyze by a newspaper confirmed his own incompetence, and it is no wonder that President Reagan was so angry.
"Until now, is it just suspicion?" President Reagan asked.
In just two days, it was already a good effort to be able to investigate to this extent, but the president was still dissatisfied, and Casey said: "In RIBEN, there are two companies, Toshiba Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, that are possible. However, because we don't have definitive evidence yet. ”
"Then search their company, call up their company's contracts for the export of this kind of machine tools in recent years, check the flow of each of their exported machine tools, and we must thoroughly investigate this matter!" President Ronald Reagan said.
Investigate the other company's company without conclusive evidence? Is this a bit of a violation of the rules of both parties? However, looking at the president's expression, Casey knew that he still did what the president said.
In this way, we can find out the truth of the matter? Casey doesn't think so, Ri himself is very smart, they must have been prepared for a long time, and if they do this, they will only startle the snake, won't they make two sets of contracts?
Looking out the window, the lights are blazing below, and nearly half of the cars inside are RI cars. {{}}
This time, it was an absolutely fitting excuse, President Reagan thought in his heart.
In World War II, Riben launched a war against the United States, and as a result, the evil fascists were finally defeated and Riben surrendered unconditionally.
Originally, in the war, the United States and RIBEN were mortal enemies, and RIBEN's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was regarded as an eternal shame for the Americans.
After the war, in order to prevent the revival of militarism, the United States began to station troops in the country, and for the purpose of fighting against the Eastern Red Sè countries, the United States turned to support the country, and the subsequent outbreak of the Korean War allowed the company to quickly rebuild from the ruins after the war, and after that, the industry of the company began to develop rapidly.
Until now, the manufacturing industry has been very developed, and the GDP of the company has jumped to the second place in the world. In the past few years, the trade surplus has flooded the entire United States, and the manufacturing industry in the United States has come to a standstill, and the foreign exchange reserves of the company have jumped to the first place in the world.
And the domestic fiscal deficit of the United States has also begun to widen, and Reagan will certainly not admit that this is due to the huge increase in military spending, which is mainly caused by the trade deficit with Riben.
Therefore, by taking the initiative to intervene, let the RI yuan appreciate and the dollar depreciate, this is the solution they have recently discussed.
And now, this kind of thing has happened, and this is a good opportunity to put pressure on Riben!
If the US economy cannot be reversed as soon as possible, then Reagan's image among the people will be greatly damaged, and it will have a lot of negative impacts on Bush's next election campaign.

Qusay returned to the country, and for the first time, inspected the shipyard.
On the dock built by the civilian ships in the shipyard, there is a huge submarine, this smooth nuclear submarine is the famous Los Angeles class, at this time, the side of the submarine, has begun to erect scaffolding, technicians from the United States rushed to inspect the collision site, and it was found that the tough HY-80 steel, there has really been some degree of metal fatigue, although it can not be shown for the time being, but, when encountering bad weather at sea, turbulent waves, There is a possibility that there will be catastrophic consequences.
In other words, this nuclear submarine has been scrapped, and no crew will drive it anymore and dive to a depth of 300 meters to play with Soviet submarines.
Seeing this, Iraq immediately proposed that if the submarine had indeed been scrapped, Iraq would be willing to pay for it to be bought as a theme park to inspire the people of the country to explore the sea.
Of course, the United States will never agree to this.
Therefore, the Iraqi side proposed that the submarine was of little use to the US Navy at present, and that it would take time and effort to tow it back, and that if it was not willing, Iraq could dismantle it at the shipyard and facilitate its transportation to the United States. This is the first time that the shipyard has begun to dismantle submarines before building civilian ships.
Of course, the American side also politely refused. Just kidding, if this submarine is really dismantled in Iraq, will Iraq still have to be familiar with the internal structure of the Los Angeles-class submarine?
After several days of deliberation, American experts finally came up with a reasonable solution: reinforce the collision site and sail back from the sea at a slow speed under the escort of a naval warship.
The malfunction of the nuclear reactor was also eliminated, and the weapons on the submarine were transferred, leaving only an empty shell, leaving a few submariners, driving the reinforced submarine and driving it back slowly.
The Soviet submarines, on the other hand, were more troublesome, and when the experts arrived, they still did not find a solution. Some experts came up with a bold solution, using explosives to blow up the reef below, and the submarine could be towed back into the sea from behind. However, it was firmly rejected by the Iraqi side.
