PS: The second more is sent, ask for tickets......

"We are the 18th Destroyer Detachment of the Chinese Navy, Captain Li Guoping of the Rangoon, and we are now on escort duty, and the destination is the port of Durban in South Africa...... "Li Guoping said into the microphone.

Not to mention that the navies of the People's Revolutionary Union will greet each other after they meet, even if it is not allied, this is a very normal etiquette. So Li Guoping didn't take it seriously.

"Hello, I'm Captain Yoshiko Tahara, Captain of the Naka, the 4th Mine Squadron of the Japanese Navy, and I'm currently on patrol. When Tahara Yoshixing heard Li Guoping's answer, he paused, and then said anxiously: "Are you going to Durban? Can you re......schedule?

"Rescheduled?" Li Guoping was a little dazed. Then he said, "Why is it not appropriate? We have more than 40,000 people in the fleet, how can we reschedule?"

At this time, a different person on the other side said: "Hello, Comrade Major. I am the commander of the 4th Mine Combat Team, Major General Shoji Nishimura. A large number of mines have been found in the port of Durban, and you are no longer able to enter, please change course to another port or reschedule......"

"What? There are a lot of mines in Durban?" Li Guoping and He Energy looked at each other, both feeling a little dazed.

"Comrade Major General, I can't call the shots on this, I need to report to my superiors......" Li Guoping quickly transmitted the news back to the "Red River" light cruiser in the rear.

Subsequently, the commanders of the Chinese and Japanese fleets exchanged views directly.

It didn't take long for the "Red River" to issue a new order for the fleet to change course and go to Cape Town.

"What the hell am I! I don't know if it's the one who has no conscience who is so bored and actually throws mines at the port of Durban? Can that thing be thrown around?" Li Guoping chatted with a group of colleagues on the Navy's internal network exchange platform with an embarrassed face. Li Guoping's own ID is "Handwritten No Regrets-2".

Zizhu: "It's the Germans, they like to do this kind of thing the most." ”

Canghai Yu Lingfeng: "But Xiao Lizi is engaged in humanitarian transportation this time, and the Germans are not afraid of being struck by lightning when they do this......?"

Cozy Lazy Cat: "It doesn't have to be against you, either. South Africa has not withdrawn from the Entente, and the Germans blockade it is nothing. Little plum, you have to be careful, don't be yin by the German submarine. ”

At the end of the stars: "How dare they hit our ship?

Wei Changsheng: "Then who said clearly? What if the Germans are hot-headed......"

A person who reads a book for a day: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there are orders from above, any submarine found along the way, if you don't listen to our orders to float, you can sink ......" This "person who reads books for a day" is Xiao Li's top boss this time, Brigadier General Yang Zhouhe, the head of the 18th Destroyer Detachment.

The matter of escort missions and mines is not a secret, so Li Guoping said it directly. In this chat room, most of them are captains, political commissars, first mates, and chiefs of staff of light ships such as light cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. As soon as he told him about this, everyone suspected that the Germans had done it.

At this time, an ID named "Xuanyuan Wu" said: "I said, you don't suspect it, did the Japanese do this?"

"What did the Japanese do? What good did they do in doing this?" Li Guoping hurriedly asked.

He was not very familiar with this "Xuanyuan Wu", but he only remembered that it was a captain under his father in the Pacific Fleet. Just move the mouse over the other person's avatar, and an information bar will appear. Real name: Wu Yuanxuan. Military rank: Lieutenant Colonel. Work unit: 2nd Destroyer Squadron, destroyer Huizhou. Position: Captain...... Well, that's right, the military's internal network is all real-name system, and the information has everyone's identity information. This is for ease of management.

Wu Yuanxuan (Xuanyuan Wu) typed out a line of words: "I don't know the specifics." But don't you think it's too coincidental for the Japanese to appear in a place? It's as if they were waiting for Xiao Li and them on purpose. When they arrived, they were specially informed to change course. And then how do they know that there are a lot of mines in Durban? I remember they've been at odds with South Africa lately, and the South Africans are going to let them go to the port of Durban to check it out?"

"Yo, Xiao Wu can! Hearing you say that, I also think it's a bit of a problem. Yang Zhouhe also came back to his senses. "No wonder I just thought, Nishimura Shoji's old boy is spitting, damn, there must be a problem! I have to talk to the boss, don't be cheated! Okay, I'm ......."

"Okay, I'm down too, I'll order to be more vigilant......" Li Guoping also went offline. He immediately said to the air: "Release the No. 1 and No. 2 drones as well, and strengthen the surveillance of the surrounding sea areas." Helicopter No. 2 goes here, here, drops sonar buoys, monitors underwater ........."

He asked Thunderbolt again, "Is there anything unusual about the sonar?"

"No anomalous ......"

He was about to inquire with the headquarters through the data link, when a call from the detachment leader Yang Zhouhe came.

"Xiao Li, don't be too nervous. I've already asked the above, and it's true that the Japanese did it, but don't ask for details. Anyway, they said that this matter has nothing to do with us, and that we should continue to change course and go to Cape Town, and not Durban......"

"Oh, got it, continue to Cape Town......"

After putting down the phone, Li Guoping pinched his chin: "What are the Japanese going to do? Are they going to do something against South Africa?"

..............................................................................

"What is this? Could it be that the Japanese want to do something to South Africa?"

Almost at the same time, a similar sentence sounded at an altitude of 26,000 kilometers. Well, to be precise, it sounded in the cabin of a strangely shaped airplane.

It was an all-black plane painted with "blood on golden wheels". It has a strange shape unlike any known active aircraft, it has no tail, no hanging tail, not even a fuselage, and the whole plane seems to have only a pair of wings.

Oh no, the fuselage is still there, but it has been integrated with the wings, the engine compartment, the main part of the fuselage is hidden in the thick wings, and the whole plane is like a pair of wings.

Yes, this is a tailless winger, or all-wing aircraft.

This is the highest achievement of the Xifei Group's research in the past few decades - the Detective-4 "Shadow Bird". Compared with the B-2, which was also a flying wing plane, the shape of the "Shadow Bird" is very different, closer to the 45-degree equilateral triangle used by middle school students, and the size is much smaller than that of the B-2. Because it is only a reconnaissance aircraft, it is necessary not to carry bombs.

This is a 16-ton tandem two-seater twin-engine heavy jet reconnaissance aircraft, which is designed for speed, altitude and range. It is equipped with an aerial refueling device and several front and side cameras at different angles, video cameras, and various reconnaissance equipment, and is unarmed. Using two turbofan-4 engines, the ceiling is 28,000 meters, the top speed is 1.8 times the speed of sound, and its nearly 40 tons of fuel makes it reach a range of 11,000 kilometers, and if it is hung with four large auxiliary fuel tanks, it can reach a distance of 17,000 kilometers.

Flying-wing aircraft are actually not a rare thing, as early as the beginning of the twentieth century, some people have done it, many countries have played it, but they have all failed without exception. It's not that it can't be done, it's not that it can't fly, it's that it can't be put into practice.

To put it simply, a flyplane is an inherently unstable configuration. In order to fly a winger compared to a normal aircraft, the pilot must continue to put in a great deal of energy, constantly correcting the course and altitude to maintain the course. And that's a very tiring thing.

The aircraft with a conventional layout has a fuselage and tail as a rectifier, so the heading axis is basically stable. Most of the time the plane flies in a straight line, and the pilot does not need to spend too much energy, only when it comes to take-off, landing and turning, or entering the air battle, will he be fully engaged. However, the winger does not have a fuselage and tail, so the heading axis is not stable, and often even the pitch axis is unstable, and the pilot must continue to control it with full concentration, otherwise the yaw is still a trivial matter, and there is even a possibility of a crash.

According to early pilots of wing-wing aircraft, the aircraft was indeed nimble, but it was so tiring to fly that hours of the flight were almost like fighting in the air. The pilot said that such a plane would lose its life after driving for a long time.

Only China, which has completed the wire-borne flight control technology, can make a practical flying wing aircraft. After the wire-by-wire flight control system is installed, as long as the course is determined, the posture and course are adjusted by the computer. For most of the flight time, the pilot does not need to pay too much attention, and can even let go of the autopilot to operate the aircraft, and the flight control computer maintains a stable course. When you need to take off, land, turn or make a move, the pilot will take over, and manual control is good. As a result, the burden on pilots is immediately drastically reduced, returning to the level of ordinary aircraft or even lower. The application of flying-wing aircraft has thus become a reality.

After the "Shadow Bird" reconnaissance aircraft was put into service, it was favored by the Air Force. Because it flies the highest in the world, and at the same time the fastest plane in this empty layer. It can easily enter and exit enemy airspace. In addition, another feature of it is the "radar fuze", which is difficult to be detected by radar, can be detected by radar at a short distance, and often flickers on the radar screen. Now that radar has been used in all countries, it is getting better and better, so this performance is undoubtedly the most important.

As for the disadvantages, that is, the high-speed handling is not good, but for the reconnaissance aircraft, this is not a problem, and it is not used for air combat.

Since the Shadow Bird entered service last year, it has often set off from frontier airports in various places, flew over the vast sea or the desert next door, and penetrated deep into the hot spots within the borders of various countries, or took pictures of important targets and then returned. A large number of photographs and other materials were obtained, but they were rarely discovered by the foreign powers, and they were never intercepted by the other side.

This "Shadow Bird," numbered "87665," was a reconnaissance plane deployed at the Mugu City (Mogadishu) base, and its mission this time was to conduct a routine inspection of the border between Japan and South Africa.
