Keelung, Taiwan Island, the base of the PLA Pacific Fleet Command.

At this moment, outside the heavily guarded base training command room, two colonels in their forties hurriedly came and arrived outside the training command room almost at the same time.

As far as Zhang Han, captain of the 238-class nuclear submarine 097 of the Pacific Fleet, who has recently entered service, has attended more than one meeting in the operational command room of this fleet headquarters, but he has never encountered such a formation today, and it seems that today's events are not trivial.

He looked at the naval officer dressed as a colonel who arrived with him, and he was very angry, but when he came to this training command room at this time, he must have received an order like himself, Zhang Han's heart moved, and he couldn't help but step forward and say hello: "I am Zhang Han of the Pacific Fleet, and I am here today by order." I think my brother is more faceless, it shouldn't be from our fleet, right? ”

"Fortunately, the contemptible person is Cao Yunhai of the South China Sea Fleet, who was ordered to report today." When the people who came saw Zhang Han, the colonel, like this, they also guessed in their hearts that they were probably accepting the combat mission for themselves, so they no longer hid their identities and spoke.

"South Sea Fleet?" Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, no wonder he was more faceless, it turned out to be a colleague of the brother fleet, could it be that this Cao Yunhai is the captain of another 097-class nuclear submarine that has recently entered service? Thinking of this, Zhang Han couldn't help but have a big mystery in his heart, what kind of mission needs two new nuclear submarines that have just entered service?

"Fortunately! Fortunately! Welcome Brother Cao to our Pacific Fleet. Zhang Han was a soldier in the end, although he was surprised and suspicious, he still reacted quickly and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake the other party tightly.

"Fortunately, but I'm not here to be a guest today, but to receive a mission, I don't know what kind of mission is so mysterious, and you want me to go to your fleet training command room to get it. But looking at today's posture, our task today will not be small, maybe we will be comrades in the same trench" Cao Yunhai said with a smile, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't expect what would happen soon to make him a prophecy.

Before the two of them finished greetings, a soldier in charge of the guard next to them stepped forward and saluted with a "snap", "Report, please show your credentials!" This is where the chiefs are preparing for a meeting, and if you are not here today on an order, please leave immediately. ”

When Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai heard this, they immediately restrained their smiles and returned the salute solemnly, "We are here on order." After finishing speaking, the two took out their documents and handed them to the soldier, "It turns out that the two leaders are Colonel Zhang Han and Colonel Cao Yunhai, please come into the conference room, the leaders have already arrived in the conference room." As soon as the soldier saw their papers, he immediately stood up and saluted again, and then led the two colonels to the door of the conference room.

"Report, Captain 238 Zhang Han / Captain 239 Cao Yunhai was ordered to report for duty!" Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai stood outside the conference room and reported loudly.

"Please come in!" , There was a familiar voice from Zhang Han inside, Zhang Han pushed the door in, raised his eyes, and sure enough, it was Vice Admiral Liu Chaohua, the commander of the fleet, and with him was Rear Admiral Li Kailai, the political commissar of the fleet, but it seems that these two fleet bosses are not the protagonists today. Because sitting among them was also a general dressed in a general's costume and his face was vaguely familiar. The three heavyweights of the navy got together, and it seems to be a big scene today.

"Report Chief! 238 (239) Captain Zhang Han (Cao Yunhai) was ordered to report for duty! The two men stood almost at the same time, raised their hands in salute, and then reported in unison.

"Take a break!" Commander Liu Chaohua ordered, and then explained today's main tasks straight to the point: "Comrade Zhang Han, Comrade Cao Yunhai, this one in the middle is Commander Xie of our navy!" Today, Commander Xie is here to issue a top-secret combat mission to you on behalf of the Central Military Commission. ”

When Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai heard this, their hearts beat wildly, and they couldn't help but stand up again! No wonder I felt that the admiral in the middle was a little familiar just now, it turned out that this was the well-deserved first brother in our navy, Commander Xie! It's not uncommon to see it in the news on weekdays, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see a real person today and couldn't believe my eyes for a while.

It seems that today's top-secret mission is really not trivial, otherwise it would not have been labor for this navy boss to come in person. Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai's hearts were boiling like boiling water, could it be that they were going to start a war against whom?

"Take a break! Comrade Zhang Han and Comrade Cao Yunhai, we have a very glorious and important combat mission to be handed over to you this time. Commander Xie said solemnly, "As the first batch of captains of the 097-class nuclear submarines, the central government requires you to form a formation and set off today to conduct a global submarine combat exercise!" ”

As soon as Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai heard this order, their hearts shook like thunder, this was really a super task that they hadn't expected at all.

If another year and a half passed, Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai would not be so surprised when they heard this task, but now it is too sudden, you must know that it has only been two days since they received the 097-class nuclear submarine, and it can be said that they have not even had time to familiarize themselves with the equipment on the boat, and they are asked to carry out such an important exercise task.

It is important to know that a round-the-world submarine exercise is not simply a matter of finding a familiar shipping route like a merchant ship and sailing around the earth for a week. As one of the country's ultimate nuclear strike forces, nuclear submarines must secretly find a suitable channel under the complex and changeable sea conditions on the seabed, evade the opponent's anti-submarine network search, and deal with various emergencies at any time, including the possibility of a surprise attack by a potential adversary, and complete a seabed trip of tens of thousands of kilometers. There must not be a single flaw in the middle.

Nuclear submarines have always been one of the most concerned military targets of potential adversaries, and if they are unfortunate enough to be targeted by the adversary's anti-submarine network and give them the opportunity to launch a covert attack, these adversaries will never show mercy, not to mention that Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai are still piloting the latest nuclear submarines of the PLA.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the US imperialist anti-submarine forces discover their existence outside China's territorial waters, Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai will become the prey of their pursuit, so this round-the-world submarine exercise is not much different from a formal operation except that there is no clear combat target and task.

In such a hasty situation, even if Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai were the leaders of the submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet respectively, they couldn't help but feel that the pressure was pressing on the shoulders of the two of them like a mountain.

Instead of training within the confines of one's own familiar territorial waters and being able to call for all kinds of support at any time in case of trouble, it is necessary to go to a completely unfamiliar sea area and fight all kinds of dangerous situations independently without support.

This task is simply an impossible task for Zhang Han and Cao Yunhai, who have just received the 097-class nuclear submarine!

(There's one more tonight!) ）
