The Chinese fleet, which has just entered Pearl Harbor, is undoubtedly the most mysterious and the most interesting, and in accordance with the international practice of expressing friendship and military mutual trust, three Chinese warships, including the 039A conventionally powered submarine, were opened at Pearl Harbor for naval officers of the "quasi-allies" and some local tourists to see "the brilliant achievements made by the Chinese Navy in national defense construction."

After in-depth discussions within the navy, some contents that are not suitable for public disclosure have been selected, including that the power section is not allowed to enter, and the war command room is not allowed to take pictures.

But despite this, the foreign counterparts who boarded the Chinese warship continued to exclaim. Because of the high standard of ship management guidelines and the high requirements of Chinese soldiers, the battleship looks exceptionally neat, and there is no trace of rust on the outside of the hull.

Vice Admiral Hayes, who was the chief director of the exercise, accompanied by Rear Admiral Shan Dade of the Chinese Navy, boarded the destroyer, which was as beautiful and proud as a swan with a snow-white hull. Upon boarding the bridge, the first thing that attracted everyone's attention was the huge turret on the foredeck.

Hayes said, "6. The 1-inch (155mm) main gun is probably the largest caliber among the destroyers in the world. ”

Lu Junfu, the captain of the Shenzhen, nodded and said, "That's right, in the destroyer class, the 155 guns of our type of ship are the largest in the world. ”

A US Navy staff officer immediately asked: "Is there a need for artillery bombardment on the other side of the shore in China's strategic judgment on landing operations and other occasions?" "Although it seems to be a problem with nothing, it is actually questioning the aggressiveness of China's naval construction.

Shan Dade said quietly: "China has a long sea frontier and coastline, and in the struggle to defend our coast and sea frontier, the navy is born with the mission of providing coastal firepower assistance to the army, and there is nothing to criticize about this. ”

The temporary display board introduced the performance of this type of main gun in Chinese and English, and the British chief Li Pete, who had previously disdained the Chinese Navy, said with a strong expression of suspicion: "The rate of fire of 40 rounds per minute can really reach this level?" Also, the range is claimed to be 36 km, so it's not a joke. ”

Captain Lu Junfu felt the contempt of his peers and was angry in his heart, but the instructions he made before leaving was to maintain the polite image of the Chinese Navy, and he was not good at expressing direct dissatisfaction with this person in front of so many people, so he just said stiffly: "If you can get this data, let everyone witness it during the exercise." ”

Soon the Americans came out again to play a round and said a few innocuous words, and the crowd rushed into the cabin of the ship. Entering the core position of the bridge, which is also the brain of the entire ship, in the CIC battle command room, all foreign counterparts once again showed great amazement.

Even several captains and senior officers of the US Navy couldn't help but show a solemn look on their faces, because the well-laid out war room was basically paperless, and all you saw were electronic devices arranged on dense battle positions, and it was obvious that these complex electronic devices had a very user-friendly interface, and the Chinese did not turn on, but only from the appearance, there were not many messy buttons, and everything seemed very intuitive and concise.

American Colonel Fiore looked left and right and asked Lu Junfu: "There is a data link on this ship, right?" ”

Lu Junfu said as a matter of course: "Of course, how can we fight without that thing?" ”

Americans have been committed to the development of data links since the fifties, and have experienced many different data links such as Link4, Link4A, and Link11. The real epoch-making significance was the research on Link16 in the seventies, and it was not until 1983 that Link16 was officially delivered. As for how to use the information chain system, in addition to outlining the top-level design of the territory, many of them rely on the feedback of the grassroots operators in the actual operation. In this process, quite a few operators feel that the data link is a very troublesome thing, and some people will even resist it. However, the Chinese captain naturally believes that there is no combat capability without a data link, which means that at least the Chinese navy has gone further than the Soviets in this regard.

Even among the ships of NATO countries, many are only equipped with simple radar avionics and communication facilities, in fact, only the latest warships such as the Aegis ship in the US military have installed a system for integrating and analyzing information and data, but I did not expect that the Chinese seem to have similar capabilities.

If the Americans are excited by China's move to turn toward the United States, now that China is showing more and more achievements in national defense technology that are closely following the United States and not inferior to those of the United States, it has caused a number of US military personnel with strategic vision to worry.

Next, everyone visited the living quarters on the ship, including the sailors' quarters, dining rooms, and recreation rooms, and so on, and the officers and men's quarters were obviously of a good grade, and even the beds were very good, and they did not use metal beds that were easy to rust and heavy, but were fixed on the walls, with wood as the main body, and special fireproof lightweight plastic materials on the outside. The cabins are spacious and look very comfortable. There is a small library on the ship, and there are even a lot of board games and board games for the sailors, as well as some fitness equipment.

Captain Bentley of the Australian ship muttered: "The environment is really good, much better than our ship, I can't believe that this is a warship of a communist country, why does it look more 'luxurious' than our naval ships in the free world." ”

Everyone listened to his words and did not realize that the Soviet naval ships had never considered the habitability of personnel, as long as they could improve their combat effectiveness, the sailors would have nothing to do with it (this was actually prejudice, and there were even saunas and swimming pools on Typhoon-class submarines). It also embodied the values of the Soviet Union and even most of the red countries, and at one time many things in China were similar. However, the foundation of the 052A itself is the Red Alert Allied destroyer, and many design concepts are integrated with the achievements of the Chinese Navy in later generations, and the concept of people-oriented has also become a consideration that must be infiltrated into the navy's shipbuilding, so compared with the warships before the eighties, from the perspective of livability and operational pleasure, 052A can throw off the navies of the free world several streets.

Hayes, commander of the Pacific Fleet, agreed: "The concept of China's counterparts building ships should be worthy of recognition, and the development of our naval equipment should also learn from this idea to provide a better combat and living environment for the young men!" ”

Weaving around the ship, visitors came to another weapon they wanted to see, the YJ-62 long-range anti-ship missile.

The British lieutenant colonel Lee Pitt, who had been complaining and questioning before, was looking at the launch rack with wide eyes at this time, because there was no prohibition on taking pictures here, so many visitors took out their cameras and took pictures from different angles. And among them, the most carefully filmed, as if shooting in the spirit of AV shooting in their own country, are several self-defense officers from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

The people of the Chinese Navy have long noticed this problem, and no matter what the occasion, those Japanese are eager to take pictures. A PLA captain whispered to Captain Lu Junfu's ear and said: "Captain, the white briefcase that Little Japan is holding should have a ghost, as soon as he arrived at the place where we were not allowed to take pictures, he put the briefcase under his armpit, and then kept quietly fiddling, if I guessed correctly, there should be a pinhole camera for spies." ”

Lu Junfu's face turned pale, and then he said in a low voice: "Deal with that thing in a while." ”

The captain smiled and said, "Okay, put it on me." ”

At this time, a group of naval officers in the free world were praising China's anti-ship missiles without discipline, and Australian captain Bentley said as if singing a sonnet: "What a perfect masterpiece, only a little more than six meters in length, weighs more than a ton, and the launch device is also perfectly designed, sweeping the sea for 30 meters, with a range of up to 400 kilometers, this kind of thing is simply an aircraft carrier killer!" ”

It's just that this person's emotional intelligence is not very useful, and the British and Americans who have aircraft carriers here have no good face when they hear this.

Shan Dade said: "I don't think it's enough, because the air dominance range of the aircraft carrier battle group is about 600-800 kilometers in a radius, in order to launch missiles, it must definitely enter the air control circle of the aircraft carrier battle group, and the aircraft carrier's suppression ability to other surface ships is obvious, so it is somewhat exaggerated to call the aircraft carrier killer." ”

Listening to his words, Lieutenant General Hayes showed a slightly approving expression, as if he was satisfied with Shan Dade's statement.

It's just that he didn't expect that the conversation would quickly turn in another direction, and the Canadian asked: "May I ask if your navy will sell this anti-ship missile to other countries?" ”

This time, the Americans immediately became nervous and had a pain in their eggs, because most of the anti-ship missiles used by NATO countries, except for the Exocet that the French have always loved to make themselves, are American-made Harpoon missiles. However, it is clear that there is a certain gap between the performance of the Harpoon missile and the YJ-62.

The Americans have not been particularly attentive to anti-ship missiles, and the models have been used for several decades, and until thirty years later, their LRASM new generation anti-ship missiles have not officially entered service. The main reason for this is that tactically the core of US anti-ship is an aircraft carrier battle group, not a destroyer equipped with anti-ship missiles, so the Harpoon, a jack-of-all-trades ship-to-ship missile, has been used for half a century.

However, since the Falklands War, many American strategists have scoffed at this, but some people really believe this. The development of anti-ship missiles has become a popular choice for a while, in fact, the Soviets have always been ahead in anti-ship missiles, and there are a number of dazzling products such as basalt, granite, and sunburn, but now NATO can't get them.

Although the Rabbit family is still waving the small red flag of a socialist country, the big brother of the United States said that they are quasi-allies, and the arms have already been exported to countries like South Korea, so they may be able to buy better anti-ship missiles from them.
