Chapter 504: True. Hunting Submarine (2)
In 2009, Vietnam spent nearly $4 billion to order a complete set of submarine force systems, including six Type 636 Kilo-class conventionally powered submarines.
In January 2014, the first "Hanoi" (HQ-182) arrived in Cam Ranh Bay, officially opening a new chapter in the history of Vietnamese submarine warships. Although the Vietnamese did not make high-profile remarks like the Philippine monkeys, saying stupid things like challenging the Chinese navy, everyone can see that the only target they want to target is China when they spend such a huge amount of money on submarines.
Nanhai Zhudao is a matter of great interest, and attaches equal importance to politics and economy. Taking advantage of China's blockade years, Vietnam unscrupulously occupied more than 20 islands, and even exploited oil and resources on a large scale at sea. However, with the rapid growth of China's economy, the rapid development of its navy, and the normalization of escort ships in the Gulf of Aden, the tonnage of fishery administration ships patrolling the South China Sea has become larger and more fierce. The most critical thing is that the newly commissioned missile destroyers and aircraft carrier forces are gradually taking shape, the aircraft carrier base is nearing completion, and Vietnam, like other small neighboring countries, feels heavy and boundless pressure!
The most important thing is that Vietnam has suffered a big loss from China! A small country that could have dominated East Asia has been tossed alive and turned into an old, weak, sick and disabled country with a mess of industry and a mess of the economy. Aside from the military aspect, which is barely a little impressive, nothing else. And forever under the huge shadow of China, they are too far away from the West, after the fall of the former backer of the Soviet Union, Russia is too busy to take care of itself, and they still use arms orders to pit their already small money.
In the words of a certain professor. "What a tragedy!"
Spending three or four billion dollars to buy a submarine is like a person walking alone at night with a stick in his hand, and the purpose is only to give himself courage. Scare other guys who also walk at night. If you really encounter a strong man who robs the road, it is useless.
The Vietnamese are not as easy to fool as the Philippine monkeys, so helpless, they can only be at the mercy of superpowers and big powers. They have a considerable degree of autonomy and are not happy to tear up with China.
This time, they urgently sent the "Hanoi," which was cruising in the South China Sea, to Nansha because they had obtained definite information. It is believed that the so-called regal yacht treasure hunt is in essence a planned and purposeful attempt to explore the occupied islands in the South China Sea with the support and instigation of the Chinese government behind the scenes.
Its intentions. It was these young people, who had strong economic and political influence in the country, that took the initiative to provoke friction with the Vietnamese and defenders on the islands.
Once the Vietnamese side "does not know the truth" moves into force, they can use the problem to get the navy involved. When the time comes. Just with the little strength of the Vietnamese Navy. It's not enough for people to stuff their teeth. China may take the opportunity to regain control of the Spratlys in one fell swoop, and Vietnam's losses will be untold to the fullest.
This news caused great tension on the Vietnamese side. They checked with the Chinese top brass through relevant channels and confirmed it, and were told unsurprisingly that there was absolutely no such thing. The Chinese and Vietnamese people have been friendly for generations, the two governments are highly complementary in economy and politics, there are no so-called conflicts and contradictions, and some minor frictions and misunderstandings can be resolved peacefully. China's navy is only there to protect overseas investment, and it has no intention of changing the status quo in the South China Sea in the short term.
Put down the phone. Vietnamese Defense Minister Phuong Quang Thanh scolded with a black face: "You liars! has always said this set of official clichΓ©s, and in fact, he was not merciless at all when he did it. Cunning and treacherous rabbits. We've seen you all the time! β
He didn't believe that at all. Last year, China's strong action to reclaim Scarborough Shoal has created a consensus among Southeast Asian countries that China's determination to regain control of the South China Sea is unshakable. According to the latest information, the relevant Chinese authorities have done a good job of establishing a comprehensive and systematic occupation control and management force in the South China Sea, and have entered the stage of step-by-step implementation.
The establishment of Sansha City is to solve the management problem administratively, and the recapture of Scarborough Shoal is to test the determination of various countries to confront, and the next step is to extensively reclaim the island and establish a military base with a huge infrastructure -- the kind that can dock fleets and take off and land heavy fighters and even bombers!
Finally, when the aircraft carrier base in Hainan is completed and the formation headed by the "Liaoning" aircraft carrier is formed and moves south, the South China Sea will be completely brought into China's grasp, and the decades of operation of various countries here will come to an end.
And this process is irreversible. No matter how much they oppose it, how they protest, how they unite with other countries to threaten, how they listen to Japan's call to toss together, and how they use American money to engage in differences. In the end, neither could shake China's resolve.
Six hundred years after Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the West, the Chinese Navy will once again crisscross the seas and exert its national prestige. The surrounding small countries have no other way out than to bow down to their vassals.
The Vietnamese are not willing to continue to be China's little brothers, but they are not capable of embarking on a path of independent civilization, and their fate has been doomed from the moment they split out of China.
Still, the Vietnamese are unlikely to sit idly by. Even if the final outcome cannot be changed, at least the process should be as long as possible.
Two days ago, the "Hanoi" submarine quietly sailed into the waters of Nansha and cruined between the Zhenghe Reef and the Jiuzhang Reef, closely following the progress of the treasure hunt of China's wealthy with the help of the garrison and reconnaissance feedback on Hongxu Island.
On the 10th, the next leg of the event was officially launched, and the "Hanoi" received the exact news that most of the yachts and boats chose to detour the western channel and sail to the Danpelan Reef without any friction. Very few actually cross sensitive waters such as Zhenghe Reef.
And Yang Hao, who they were specifically told to focus on, and his suspicious yacht "Weiyuan", were undoubtedly a direct provocation to Vietnam's controlled areas.
"Our goal is to stop and take down this audacious yacht, arrest the people on it, and make him confess to his conspiracy to invade our territory and provoke a military conflict between China and Vietnam. It then uses this as evidence to put pressure on the Chinese to temporarily halt all attempts to expand into the South China Sea. β
Inside the submarine "Hanoi". The captain read out the top-secret message from Shangfeng, and gave the order with a solemn expression.
Dozens of crew members answered in unison and confidently. Guaranteed mission accomplishment.
In order to ensure the concealment of the operation and prevent it from being discovered by China's aerial reconnaissance and space satellites, the "Hanoi" did not dare to surface in the open. At most, at periscope depth, it occasionally receives intelligence communications from the island, and then adjusts its position accordingly, waiting for the prey to take the bait.
Just after 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the radar station on Hongxu Island spotted the signal of the "Weiyuan" galloping. A helicopter was immediately taken off to confirm it, and it was determined that its trajectory was through the Chinese-controlled Dongmen Reef and Chigua Reef, and directly brushed the edge of Hongxu Island. Take the shortest route south to Projectile Reef.
This will inevitably lead to a series of islands and reefs in the south under Vietnam's de facto control, and it will be an intolerable challenge to the prestige of Vietnam's ruling power!
The Vietnamese aboard the Hanoi were both apprehensive and excited, and they discovered that there was no Chinese coast guard or fishery administration nearby. Neither did the naval ships. Recent threats. It was the fishermen stationed on Mischief Reef, and it was clear that they did not have the capacity to intervene urgently.
The captain couldn't hold back his excitement, this is a great opportunity that is hard to come across in a lifetime! As long as the interception is successful, he will not only receive military merits, but also the great rewards promised by some people! It can be described as fame and fortune, and it can be counted in one fell swoop!
"Gotta catch him! Get ready for the ships and helicopters that will accompany our operations! β
The communication on the surface of the sea suddenly became dense, and the continuous transmission of commands was intertwined into a network of radio waves.
The "Weiyuan" seemed to be unaware of anything, and crashed headlong into the open encirclement.
in the command room. Captain Nelson completely lost his relaxed posture, and his expression was solemn and serious. Constantly report the radar detection results and make real-time maneuver commands.
"An air target was spotted and it was determined to be a Vietnamese military helicopter. Having discovered a surface target, it is rapidly approaching our ship with a very unfriendly attitude. β
Yang Hao squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Don't worry about him, just drive over!" If anyone dares to stop it, let it go, and I'll see what tricks they can play. β
Nelson nodded, no further words.
In the sky, the Vietnamese helicopter slowly circled and looked down below, but did not rush down immediately. The purpose of their existence is not to rush to deal with the "Weiyuan" as soon as they come up, it is too obvious, and it is easy to be caught. The real intention is to escort several fishing boats and speedboats on the water.
More than a dozen Vietnamese fishing boats broke into a waterway less than 20 kilometers wide from the direction of Hongxu Island at full speed. On the sea south of Hongxu Island and between Kangle Reef, two echelons are arrayed before and after, forming a dense blocking formation, turning back and forth in a zigzag shape, making it clear that it is to touch porcelain.
Captain Nelson had never seen such a shameless opponent, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn it! They are so open-minded, aren't they worried about getting into a big problem at all? β
Yang Hao said indifferently: "People die for money, and birds die for food." As long as there is a big enough price, it is not a problem to make them work hard. It's just that whether they can sell it at a good price depends on whether they have the luck and ability. β
The speed of the "Weiyuan" was so fast, it only took more than ten minutes to go straight south, and it was far away from the surging fishing boats.
At this time, all the Vietnamese fishing boats had already received the news, and the slender hull of the "Weiyuan" could be seen from afar, as if it was a moving vault, and everyone was immediately excited! They all know how valuable the boat is and how rich the people on it are! As long as the collision is successful, the claim alone is enough for them to eat and drink for the rest of their lives! The reward of the state is secondary.
Rush! Rush up and collide, even if you destroy your fishing boat, the harvest is ten times more abundant!
The fishing boats suddenly became chaotic, and even if the helicopters in the air were constantly dispatching with radio, it was useless.
A few minutes later, the three Vietnamese fishing boats that were running at the forefront with their speed and location advantages suddenly maneuvered diagonally on the water, attacked the left, the center and the right together, and crashed head-on!
This time, Yang Hao was also angered. He didn't expect the Vietnamese monkeys to be so bold and crazy, driven by profits, and they didn't even want their lives! In that case, there is no need to be polite.
He turned to the top of the yacht, facing the fishing boat rushing on the sea, the corners of his mouth lit up with a faint murderous intent, his two hands swinging freely like a conductor band, and a series of black shadows came out of nowhere. Within a kilometer radius of "Weiyuan" as the core, they continue to flash!
Pieces of old hulls cut one by one, small ones like cars. Large comparable containers, the smallest of which weighed more than a dozen tons, suddenly appeared from a position close to the surface of the water with a hard sharp angle, and stopped at the front of the rushing fishing boat.
When the two fishing boats that rushed on both sides of the boat were about 300 meters in front of them, suddenly the bottom of the boat shook as if it had hit a rock! The weak structure was smashed on the spot by heavy and solid ship pieces. Tumbling upward, smashing crookedly into the water, quickly submerged!
Fishing boat directly ahead. Suddenly plunged headlong into a heavy trawl net. A foot-thick tough mesh wire entangled the propeller, and the engine twisted the spindle and let out a piercing scream, and soon struck!
The dozen or so fishing boats in the back moved closer to the middle from the original double-row horizontal formation. It became a tandem encirclement formation of five or six echelons in front and back. Rushing forward one after another towards the middle of the route of the "Weiyuan".
But no matter which one it is, as long as it rushes within a radius of one kilometer, it will stop inexplicably.
Because the braking came so suddenly, most of the fishermen on the boat involuntarily threw it out, or rolled and hit it in the cabin, causing all kinds of contusions, and the sound of squeaks and squeaks was loud.
Captain Nelson expertly steered the yacht through the fishing boats that suddenly lost control. The cheeks trembled uncontrollably. Such a strange situation, no matter how much he watched, he could only be speechless. If you don't know that it's the boss with great powers, it's a ghost. He was absolutely unbelieving. But what kind of means were used to make so many fishing boats doomed, and he couldn't figure out which naval weapon could achieve such an effect.
The Vietnamese helicopters in the air have long been dumbfounded!
They originally thought that there were so many fishing boats rushing up, and at the worst, one or two would successfully touch the porcelain, and under the high-speed hedging of the two, a small friction would also lead to an extremely serious crash at sea. When the time comes, it will be their turn.
Unexpectedly, those fishing boats were all inexplicably out of control! Five or six stopped suddenly, and learned through the radio that they were entangled in fishing nets - let's not complain about where so many fishing nets came from. What's the matter with those who suddenly hit the rocks?!
Vietnam has controlled the Spratly for decades, and it is no longer clear what is going on under every inch of water here. To put it mildly, it is impossible for these fishermen to hit the reef with their eyes closed! Not to mention, there are no reefs at all!
It's crazy! It's so weird! It's incredible!
Seeing that the last fishing boat was about to be crossed, and the speed of the "Wei Yuan" did not decrease at all, the Vietnamese helicopters realized that they would not be able to do it without a move. If they are broken through by the other party like this, what awaits them will be harsh military punishment!
After hurriedly reporting to the command on the island, the helicopter swooped down with its head down, and at the same time shouted through the international frequency band and the large horn hanging under the belly: "Listen to the Chinese yacht in front!" You have illegally intruded into the territorial waters of Vietnam, stop and accept the control immediately, otherwise we will take decisive measures to exercise sovereignty! β
Yang Hao raised his head at the approaching helicopter and raised a big middle finger towards the sky.
This picture is so obvious that it is difficult for Vietnamese people to see it clearly! The pilot's landing was furious, gritted his teeth and pressed the fuselage to a very dangerous height of tens of meters, and suddenly swept over the yacht from the side, bringing up a fierce wind, blowing Yang Hao's hair wildly!
Then, they repeatedly swept low several times, staggered left and right, or dived back and forth, and the rumbling roar shook the ears of those on the yacht.
Yang Hao was very upset, and shouted angrily: "Annoying flies! It seems that if you don't take strong medicine, you can't stop it, right? β
He set up a camera again, filmed a series of provocations by Vietnamese helicopters, broadcast them live on the Internet, and declared in the voice of a victim: "Our operation through the Spratly Sea is being brutally interfered with by the Vietnamese military!" Everyone has seen that they are so bold and unscrupulous, it is simply intolerable! β
There was a roar of the same enemy on the Internet, and most people cheered for Yang Hao: "Yang Dashao, hold on!" We Chinese must not let the Vietnamese monkeys defeat! Get your guts and fight them! β
"Don't be afraid! Ya is a stupid monkey, as long as you dare to show your sword, he can only run away with his head! Our powerful navy is your strong backing, hold on! β
Some people also gloated: "If it weren't for your Yang Dashao's arrogance and idleness to provoke the actual control of the Vietnamese, would you have caused so much trouble?" I think I brought it on myself, and I deserve it! β
Such a little fresh and self-righteous person was immediately attacked like a tide. But they are all professional robots posting, the purpose is to make trouble, there is no discipline and dignity or anything, as long as it can cause chaos in the public opinion of netizens, even if the task is successfully completed.
Yang Hao's purpose is not to gain anyone's support, he just needs to show the "truth" that he is a victim. Occupy the moral high ground, he can act!
Just a few minutes after the video was broadcast, a call request suddenly came, and Chloe said helplessly: "BOSS, it's the relevant unit of your country." You know, they're too powerful for me to stop. β
Yang Hao thought about it and asked him to take it in.
As soon as he connected it, he heard someone on the other side shouting angrily: "Yang Hao, you bastard, don't mess around?!" (To be continued......)
