218. The passing German fleet
If it was an ordinary ship lady passing by, or even if there were dozens of deep-sea haunts, Nanchang would not specifically notify Mu Feng, but the person who came today was Bismarck, and he was the object of the command's attention.
According to Caesar, Cavour and Bismarck had a good relationship, and Caesar knew that Cavour was controlling the deep sea with another deep-sea flagship at that time, not Cavour alone.
So Bismarck was rightfully suspicious.
Now that Bismarck's fleet has passed through the First Military Port, Nanchang will specifically ask Mu Feng's opinion.
This opinion is not only about how to answer, but also about whether to do something, such as investigation, interception, detention, attack, elimination, etc.
Mu Feng thought for a moment: "Let's announce our identity in an official way, reminding them that this strait now belongs to our headquarters, and we must apply in advance for re-passage in the future."
"We will allow them to pass through innocently, but we will only keep one hulled shipwive, and we will keep them safe around the strait.
"You go with me to accompany, escort, and monitor their normal passage through the Channel, and ask if you need to take them to the Royal Navy by plane, and give them a ride."
Nanchang listened and confirmed again: "That's it? Don't we need to do something else? ”
Mu Feng thought for a while: "Bismarck is just suspicious, don't startle the snake for the time being, you go back and ask Hood, what is Bismarck doing in the Royal Navy, the relationship between the two of them shouldn't be good......"
Nanchang nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”
…………
On the sea 100 kilometers northwest of the First Military Port Strait, a fleet is breaking the waves at a speed of 30 knots.
The battleship Bismarck, the aircraft carrier Count Zeppelin, the heavy cruisers Prinz Eugen, Admiral Hipper, the destroyers Z16, Z23, the submarines U47, U81.
The two submarines couldn't keep up with the fleet, so they kept their mothers on the deck of the Prinz Eugen, but they were ready to go into battle at any time.
When the ship formation is sailing on the ocean, if possible, it will basically unfold all the hulls in order to deal with crises that may arise at any time.
It was actually Prince Eugen who was responsible for responding to Nanchang's inquiry, and after receiving Nanchang's response again, Prince Eugen immediately relayed it to Bismarck.
"Do what they ask." Bismarck immediately replied, "All but Eugen are back in the ship's condition, ready to go to the ports of the Chinese Navy to disembark and take their plane to the Royal Navy." ”
The group agreed one after another, and all of them returned to the state of the ship and boarded the deck of the Prince Eugen.
The Prinz Eugen carried the German fleet at full speed, and Nanchang landed at the mouth of the strait by a helicopter from Taiyuan, and unfolded the hull to sail in the direction of Prince Eugen.
An hour later, the two sides met, informed each other of their identities, sent greetings, and Nanchang turned around and escorted Prince Eugen to the strait.
Prince Eugen pointed the gun upwards to indicate a harmless passage.
This kind of thing also happens a lot in modern countries and is basically a daily task.
When a warship passes through a sea area controlled by another country, it puts its guns up to indicate that it has no intention of attacking.
The host country will send warships to escort and also monitor.
At this moment, on the deck of the Prince Eugen, a group of German shipwives looked at the hull of the Nanchang in the distance, as surprised as the Royal Navy saw Changchun for the first time.
Z16 Frederica blinked: "This sister's hull is so beautiful!" ”
U81 nodded: "I've never seen a hull like this, and there are few white paints, the visual impact is very strong, I want to see what she looks like underwater......"
U47 smirked: "81, you want to peep at the bottom of someone's ship again!" ”
Bismarck squinted his eyes slightly: "From the bottom to the top, the hull, the bridge, and the mast are integrated, neat and smooth, this design is very unique, very beautiful, but it is not suitable for us." ”
Hipper clasped his hands on his chest and said with a puzzled expression:
"This Chinese Navy is really too strange, are these two ships a heavy patrol or a light patrol?"
Prince Eugen shook his head slightly: "Actually, according to their own words, they are all destroyers, the Type 055 missile destroyer Nanchang." ”
"Hey!" Hipper's face was incredulous, "Destroyer? Just kidding? More than 10,000 tons of destroyers? Even if it is exceeded, this is too much! ”
The Hipper-class heavy patrol itself is also a product of exceedance, and it is quite sensitive to exceedance.
Zeppelin next to him didn't care about the displacement, but more about the guns: "Why are they equipped with two guns for their 10,000-ton hull?" How can two cannons be enough! ”
Z16 blinked: "Their guns seem to be 150 mm, I remember that destroyers can't use 150 mm guns, right?" ”
Z23 raised his hand: "Sister Frederica, you seem to have forgotten one thing, I used a 150 cannon ......"
Z16 looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry 23, I forgot about you......"
The scene was silent for a while, and Zeppelin turned his face to look at Bismarck:
"Seriously, I'm going to make sure for sure, do you really want to share our latest technology with the Royal Navy for so-called scientific collaboration?
"Even if we were willing, would the swaggering guys of the Royal Navy be willing to work with us? I really don't want to deal with them. ”
Bismarck turned his face to look at the Nanchang in the distance, and said faintly:
"Don't worry, they'll agree, and as I said, the Royal Navy isn't the point at all......"
Zeppelin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the Nanchang, and did not continue to speak.
The Prinz Eugen continued to move forward and finally entered the strait, and Bismarck and his party also saw the missile launchers and the radars and missiles on the high ground on both sides of the strait entrance.
Bismarck and Zeppelin stared at the missiles and radars for a long time.
As the hull continued along the strait, the surrounding environment gradually changed, and there were more and more traces of repairs, and soon a concrete road along the seashore appeared.
There are chemical plants, cement factories, quarries, steel mills, and all kinds of modern industrial facilities along the road, and there are no humans at work, but the machines seem to be running.
The German shipwives looked at these automated industrial buildings with a look of amazement.
Bismarck's expression was extraordinarily serious, and he muttered in a nonchalant voice:
"This is the new generation of industrial facilities, technology, this is the power of technology......"
Eugen's hull continued to advance, and the industrial buildings suddenly disappeared, and after a while, everyone saw a meandering river that passed through the forest and flowed into the strait.
After crossing the river, you will see a quiet bay with a modern port of medium size at the bottom of the bay.
