However, not only that, after the two of them listened to the specific route of this round-the-world diving described by Commander Xie, Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai were even more stunned.

"Your mission this time is to start from Keelung Harbor, go east into the Pacific Ocean, bypass Hawaii, cross the Bering Strait north about 1,000 nautical miles along the west coast of the United States, then cross the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic, then stay in the Bermuda Sea for five days and then sail south, go around the Cape of Good Hope along the African coast into the Indian Ocean, and then return to base through the Strait of Malacca to complete this global combat exercise.

During the whole exercise, there was radio silence throughout the whole process, and no active contact with the base was allowed, but through the passive receiving system on the submarine, the exercise was directly commanded by the chief of the General Staff, and the ballistic missile launchers on the 238 and 239 ships were controlled through the latest long-range command system to practice simulated launches, and your task was to ensure that various combat missions were carried out in accordance with the latest combat orders of the command. ”

Whether it is the design of the submarine route or the design of the entire command and combat exercise, all these are groundbreaking events in the history of the PLA Navy, and they are also a real combat test of whether the PLA Navy truly has a global strike capability.

Because along the way, Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai will drive two 097-class nuclear submarines to challenge the world's largest and most deterrent anti-submarine network. Once the exercise is successful, it will mark the final rebirth of the PLA Navy's strategic strike force and become one of the country's new generation of reliable strategic strike forces, and the PLA will thus become the third military force in the world capable of using sea-based forces to strike at the United States in an all-round way, following the former Soviet Union and Russia.

The strategic significance is too great to overstate.

However, the difficulty of this journey is unimaginable. Not to mention how to cross the blockade line of the first and second island chains of US imperialism, along the way it has to pass through the Bering Strait, which the US military is focusing on, and the North Atlantic, which is under the guard, and approach within 1,000 nautical miles of the US military's doorstep.

For Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai, the two commanders of the PLA's latest nuclear submarines, although the silence performance of the 097-class nuclear submarine they are driving now surpasses that of the US Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine and is close to the level of the US Seawolf-class strategic nuclear submarine, the US Seawolf-class nuclear submarine was completed as early as 30 years ago, and the US military has naturally studied the use and prevention of this kind of ultra-low and silent nuclear submarine much more thoroughly than the PLA.

At a time when our anti-submarine system was still very difficult to deal with the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, the US military was already familiar with the anti-submarine operations of the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, so before that, the PLA Navy's nuclear submarines had never appeared in the Atlantic.

In the past, PLA submarines repeatedly broke through the anti-submarine network of the US aircraft carrier formation, all of which relied on some unconventional tactical means, such as ambushing in advance, stopping the plane and sitting on the bottom to avoid the strongest anti-submarine search of the first wave of its formation, and then relying on the aircraft carrier location information detected in the air to find its weak point, and then quietly approaching in a low-speed drive mode of silent electricity.

In this mode of warfare, there is not much problem in relying on the mainland's sea-air-based reconnaissance system and coordinating with the mainland's defensive operations, but it is another matter to take the initiative to attack.

What's more, this submarine has just entered service, and even if Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai are both outstanding candidates selected from among the former nuclear submarine captains, they dare not pat their chests and say that they can easily break through the anti-submarine network of Japan, the United States and Okinawa by driving the new submarine now, not to mention that they can go tens of thousands of miles away to challenge the US anti-submarine network on the mainland.

Seeing Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai as if stunned, Commander Xie raised his eyebrows, "What?" Is there a problem? ”

Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai woke up like a dream, and immediately straightened their bodies, "Swear to complete the task!" Zhang Han gritted his teeth and replied loudly, although the future is difficult and unpredictable, as a soldier, he should be prepared to go to war at any time, no matter if he fails, he can only fight a certain battle!

"Well, I know you're only new and need time to get used to everything, but the enemy won't give us time to take your time to do these things, and I hope you can grow up quickly in battle!" Commander Xie was quite satisfied with Zhang Han's bloody answer, and nodded.

Who doesn't want to fight a sure war, but now that the situation is like this, the bigwigs of the Military Commission have to rush ducks to the shelves.

Since the defeat in the Diaoyutai air, the US military has comprehensively adjusted its military deployment and formed new military preparations for encirclement in the country.

This high-profile central attack on Africa and preparations for the large-scale exploitation of Africa's resources for our own use have once again touched the sensitive nerves of the US military; with the flames of war in the Persian Gulf not extinguished, it is very likely that a new war will be ignited in Africa. There is no way, the world is so big, we develop faster, the benefits are greater, naturally there are fewer people, as vested interests, who is willing to give all this away?

Therefore, when the 097-class nuclear submarine entered service, the General Staff was considering how to make good use of the most powerful long-range strategic strike force in the navy. Once successful, the military will have a big hole card to play as an asymmetric strategic deterrent when necessary, preventing a local conflict with the US military from turning into an all-out war.

Although the People's Liberation Army now has the ability to confront the US military head-on based on its own territory, this also means that the war will revolve around our country's homeland, and if this is the case, decades of development will be equivalent to ruin, even if both the US military is defeated and injured, the losses caused by the war to our country are definitely far greater than the losses caused to the Yankees.

This is certainly a situation that the military's top strategists do not want to see. Because the opportunity for development is now on our side, and with the current rapid development, we have great hope of catching up with and surpassing the US imperialists.

Therefore, the military must maintain that the overall situation of the whole world will not change drastically, and even if there is a conflict, it will do its best to control it on a local scale, just like Okinawa, which did not attack the devils again in one go, as the radicals imagined, after driving the devils out of the Diaoyutai in the first place, and restore the original appearance of the Ryukyu Islands in the past. And after the recapture of the occupied islands in the South China Sea, there will be no further punitive strikes against these island-seizing countries.

Everything is about winning the maximum space and the longest time for development.

Of course, these causes and effects are not clear to the two colonels, Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai. They now only know that they are going to complete a great task that has never been done before, and if they succeed, they will become heroes who will open a new chapter in the history of the PLA Navy, and if they fail, they may be buried at the bottom of the sea forever and become unknown martyrs.

"Please rest assured, we will overcome all difficulties and ensure the completion of the task!" Although there was no rehearsal, Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai replied in unison when Commander Xie's voice just fell.

After saying that, they themselves were a little surprised, and the three generals showed a satisfied smile.

"Good! It's rare that you have the ambition to work together, and I believe that you will be able to return victorious! I have prepared a feast for you. Commander Liu Chaohua said happily that it is certainly a good thing to be happy to have such a good omen.

"However, you must pay attention to the principle of secrecy, this is a top-secret combat mission, except for necessary personnel, you are not allowed to disclose the information of this combat mission to anyone, including your detachment commander, this operation we announce in the form of an order from the fleet command that you are conducting routine joint training in the adjacent waters. Go today! Commander Liu said solemnly.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Regarding Commander Liu's somewhat unkind order, Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai accepted it without any disagreement.

This is a highly confidential task related to the strategic intentions of the high-level, on the one hand, it is an important hole card in the hands of the high-level; On the other hand, the fewer people who know about this task, the more beneficial it will be for Zhang Han and them to complete the task safely. Leaving today minimizes the possibility of leaks.

Therefore, when the two giant whale-like 097-class nuclear submarines quietly disappeared into a certain submarine base of the Pacific Fleet, except for very few people in the military, including the vast majority of the officers and men on the 097-class nuclear submarine, almost no one knew that they disappeared this time in order to complete an unprecedented feat in the history of the PLA Navy.
