145. Defense planning
Mu Feng listened to Lanzhou's muttering and remembered the incident that happened in the South China Sea that day.
The United States has an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the Decatur, which is the one that does not do business all day long, wandering around the South China Sea.
On September 30, 2018, Decatur wandered around a certain island and reef in the Nansha Islands, and suddenly wanted to do something on a whim.
She sailed diagonally, preparing to get closer to the reef.
The situation is similar to changing lanes while driving and trying to get closer to the inside lane.
Decatur's good reason, of course, was to claim the right to "freedom of navigation".
But this place is not a road, and if you go in, it is the 12-nautical-mile territorial sea of this island.
The Lanzhou, which had been staring at this guy, was monitoring the inner side of the territorial waters of the island and reef at this time.
Seeing that Decatur was about to change lanes and squeeze in, the old driver of Lanzhou immediately rushed up with a foot on the accelerator, and it was very accurately stuck in the position where Decatur wanted to come in.
The closest distance between the two sides was only 41 meters, about a quarter of the length of the warships of both sides, which was almost zero distance at sea.
If Decatur wants to continue to squeeze in, then it is appropriate to hit the Lanzhou, you are fully responsible for hitting me, and you will be at an overall disadvantage if you are bombarded by diplomatic confrontation.
If the Lanzhou is really sunk, the captain and crew of the Lanzhou will definitely be happy.
When I go back, I will all be promoted by merit, and then I will be driven away with 0.55 million tons.
This place is too sensitive, and it will enter China's territorial waters as soon as it hits.
Collaring another warship in someone else's territorial waters is basically the same level of conflict as opening fire.
Decatur's mission is to come over and disgust people, and the Lanzhou puts herself there, and she doesn't dare to hit it at all, so she can only coax in the end.
It can be seen from this incident that the Lanzhou is definitely an old driver of a professional car, and the position of the card is just blocking the place where Decatur came in.
With a bad card at all, Decatur managed to enter 12 nautical miles, and when she returned, she could claim that she had successfully exercised her right to freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.
Decatur went back to tell the media that the Lanzhou's actions were "unsafe and unprofessional operations."
In this era, the big countries can't really fight each other, and they can only use various tricks to squeeze each other.
To play in the South China Sea, the skills of hitting ships, avoiding cars, and grabbing roads are even more useful than combat skills.
Mu Feng narrowed his eyes and patted Lanzhou's shoulder:
"Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before you upgrade 055, it's not too early, let's go eat!"
"Mm-hmm...... Hulun nodded with a smile beside him, "I'm going to cook, what do you want to eat in Lanzhou?" ”
Lanzhou raised a hand: "I want to eat beef noodles!" I want meat and eggs to fly! ”
Hu Lun blinked: "Beef noodles are noodles with beef, right?" But what does it mean to fly with meat and eggs? ”
"That's it......" Lanzhou was about to explain, but it seemed that the explanation was too troublesome, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, let's do it together!" ”
Hu Lun smiled: "Of course it's no problem, I also want to see the craftsmanship of Lanzhou!" ”
Lanzhou agreed a little embarrassed, and followed Mu Feng and Huluo to the restaurant together.
Today, the members of the fleet live in two places, and there are not many people who eat in the restaurant of the First Military Port, but there are many people who cook.
Usually it is Yixian and Peace Ark, but today there is a special chef Hulun Lake, as well as the beef noodle master Lanzhou.
The chef is Hulun Lake, and the sous chef is Yixian and the Peace Ark, and the three of them cook.
The staple food is Lanzhou's beef noodles.
When the dishes and noodles were brought out and arranged, Mu Feng found that his noodles were not quite the same as others'.
Mu Feng took a piece of meat with chopsticks and looked at it: "Lanzhou, this is not beef at all, right?" ”
"That's right!" Lanzhou on the other side shrugged his shoulders, "There is no beef in the warehouse in the port area at all, or rather, except for fish, other meat is not easy to make, and the commander can only make do with some fish......"
Mu Feng looked at the other people's bowls: "You all seem to be beef......"
Hulun smiled and said: "Jianniang food, whether it is taste, appearance, or texture, is exactly the same as real food, but in essence, it is made from resources, no other materials are needed, and everything you want can be made with two resources......
Mu Feng took a bite of fish: "I envy you guys, what do you want to eat, living on this isolated island, it's good if human food can be full, don't think too much about the tricks, if only I could eat resources......"
Listening to Mu Feng's words, the expressions of the ship girls were a little regretful.
Neptune took a bite of the noodles and said with a thoughtful expression on his face:
"Commander, don't talk about it, this might be a good research topic as well......
Mu Feng shook his head: "Haven't the other commands already concluded this matter?" Human beings simply cannot digest and absorb the ...... of resources"
Neptune's eyes narrowed:
"This is not necessarily, humans can't digest steel, but there is iron in vegetables, and humans also need iron in their bodies, and humans can't eat resources, maybe it's just the wrong posture......"
Mu Feng shook his head: "The gap between the iron bump and the iron element and iron ions in the body is huge, and iron cannot provide human beings with the energy consumed by activities......"
Neptune smiled: "Steel is just an analogy, all in all, I think we can study this matter, how about the commander, do you want to open this subject?" ”
Although Mu Feng felt that this was unlikely, he was indeed curious in his heart, and after a little hesitation, he said:
"This can be done, but don't be in a hurry, don't delay the business, when you are free, just do it slowly......"
"I see!" Neptune agreed a little excitedly, "Don't worry, Commander." ”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Hulun next to him also said:
"I seem to be able to help with this matter, if you don't need to sail far, I'm idle in the port area, Commander, Neptune, let's do it together!"
"It's okay......" Mu Feng and Neptune did not refuse.
After dinner, Hulun and Neptune took a small box of resources from the small warehouse in the kitchen, brought some vegetables, meat, condiments and other human foods, and went to the scientific research center together, ready to start research on human consumption.
Mu Feng returned to his bedroom, turned on the system, and replanned the defense of the port area.
The main thing is to increase the underwater detection force, from the entrance of the strait to the entrance of the port area, to increase the multi-layer detection device and alarm device to prevent submarine sneak attack.
The submarine that appeared in the battle made Mu Feng feel dangerous.
When the ship's mother is not in the water, her ability to detect underwater is almost zero.
It is still an effective tactic for submarines to sneak into the strait where the port area is located and wait for the ship's mother to launch a direct attack when they go to sea.
So we have to find a way to avoid this as much as possible.
