Meanwhile.

A little farther out on the sea, the Great Wall 298 boat, which had been almost forgotten by everyone, went directly into the surface navigation state.

Captain Ma Jie put on a thin cotton coat, leaned half out of the enclosure, and was holding a telescope to search the surrounding sea.

He even began to wonder if he had really mispositioned himself and sailed to the wrong sea with the whole boat.

"Captain, if you don't have a radio try, can you contact the surrounding fleets?"

The voice of Deputy Captain Liu Changlin with a slight echo came from below.

Submarines are underwater, basically unable to carry out any effective communication, and can only receive information with an extremely scarce amount of data through ultra-long-wave radios.

It is usually a pre-agreed combination of letters, 4-6 bytes in length, corresponding to some simple meanings.

For example, returning home, going to the xx sea, allowing attacks, etc.

Submarines in the surface state can use radios, but because of power problems, the communication distance is not optimistic.

In general, submarine officers are trained to do all tasks on their own from the first day they take up their posts, so liaising with friendly forces is rarely a priority for them.

While Ma Jie was struggling with whether to follow the advice of the co-captain, he suddenly saw a yellow cylindrical object floating on the surface of the sea at the edge of the telescope's field of view.

"A suspicious object was found in the 45 direction, the distance was ...... About 5 chains! ”

"Could it be the buoy dropped by the helicopter before?"

It was another voice from under his feet.

Ma Jie pulled his throat and gave a negative answer:

"No, it's huge, and if they had lost the sonar buoy just now, we would have been discovered."

"What about mines?"

New speculations are given below.

Ma Jie climbed directly down the ladder back to the command cabin and threw the telescope to Liu Changlin next to him:

"It's even more impossible, how can anyone put mines on the ocean, and the drifting mines don't look like that."

"Let's go over and see."

There are a few pieces of glass on the control tower of the 033 submarine, and if the view is not too poor, it may not necessarily need to climb outside.

Although the Great Wall 298 boat was a little behind in technology, there was still no problem with the Huaxia Navy's boat handling technology, and soon according to the captain's instructions, it came to the side of the unknown floating object accurately.

Ma Jie put on his life jacket, took a few staff officers and sailors to the surface of the boat, and used a long rod with a hook to reach the side of the boat little by little.

"There's a thread dragging behind this thing, so it's not dangerous, right?"

In the 90s, the Yu-6 torpedo with the wire guide function was in the repeated stage of pushing the plan to the beginning, and the earlier Yu-5 only had an export type and no self-use type, so it was normal for ordinary sailors of the Chinese Navy to have no concept of wire guide equipment.

However, as the captain of the boat, Ma Jie can still keep up with the times for cutting-edge technology development.

"No, dangerous things don't paint in such obvious colors, and the line behind it is definitely the line of control, similar to the army's anti-tank missiles."

After explaining, he shouted two rounds of trumpets in a row, and took a few people on the boat to fish up the thing.

But the thin cable behind it was very long, and the deputy captain dragged it for a long time, but he couldn't completely pull it to the source.

"This wire should be broken, generally speaking, the length of the wire can be more than ten nautical miles long, cut it off quickly, so as not to throw it behind and entangle the propeller."

After another rush of scrambling, I finally got my hands on this round thing.

"So what the hell is this?"

"It's like a little submarine."

"You see, there's a foreign language on it."

"What is written?"

"I don't understand, but it means that it's probably Yankee."

"What are the Americans doing around us?"

"Whatever it is, it must be brought back for study."

"But it's too big to fit into the boat."

“……”

A few people on the boat gathered around, and you and I discussed it word by word.

After a few laps back and forth, Ma Jie reached out and stopped the buzz around him:

"I'm sure I'll have to take it back, we're still sailing on the surface anyway, so let's put it on the deck first, but we have to find a rope or something to fix it, don't let it fall."

Immediately afterwards, he turned to look at Liu Changlin behind him:

"Deputy Captain, you go and inform the communicator, let him see if he can contact the fleet, and then inform them of the news that we have picked up something."

"Yes!"

Liu Changlin stood upright, then turned around and trotted back into the shell.

Ma Jie, who remained on the surface of the boat, led the people and tried to fix the round thing to the railing of the boat.

……

The other side.

The shape design of modern submarines is specially optimized for underwater navigation, and the existence of wave resistance at the waterline position leads to slow speed above the water surface.

The Winter Tide, which has a maximum underwater speed of more than 20 knots, has a maximum speed of only 12 knots on the surface.

Therefore, it did not take long for the two destroyers, the Shima City and the Jeanbar, to catch up with the Winter Tide, which was sailing in a surface state, and "escorted" the latter to completely leave the exercise area in a left-to-right manner.

During this period, not only the Chinese Navy, but even the French Navy crew on the Jean-Bar took a lot of photos to commemorate the occasion.

I am afraid that for a long time to come, the Maritime Self-Defense Force will no longer dare to venture into the exclusive economic zone of the East China Sea.

"The waters of the Pacific Ocean are really lively......

Vice Admiral Vojul, who walked to the deck, said with a little emotion.

Since 1991, there have been few such thrilling scenes on the Atlantic and Mediterranean sides.

Today's round of all-too-real joint antisubmarine exercises has reminded Worjoul, who has been away from his front-line post for a long time, the days when he commanded the fleet and fought wits and courage with the Red Navy's nuclear submarines.

After the old opponent suddenly disappeared, I still missed his ......

After a short emo, the vice admiral turned around and said to the captain behind him:

"By the way, ask the Huaxia Navy, do you want to continue the second half of the exercise?"

In fact, I also know that if there is such a big fork, I must have to return to Hong Kong.

What's more, from the point of view of "joint training," today's gains far outweigh the step-by-step exercises.

Therefore, the Ice City, which was nearly a kilometer away, quickly responded by suspending the exercise and preparing to return home.

"Deputy Commander Yang, Captain, we just received news from the Great Wall 298 boat, asking where we are now, and why we haven't been looking for them."

"In addition, they also said that they fished something from the sea that looked like a small unmanned submarine and asked us what to do with it."

Hearing the radio operator's report, several people remembered that when they were hunting and killing the Self-Defense Force submarine in full swing, they had completely forgotten about the Great Wall 298 as an imaginary enemy.

The latter should still be completely in the dark for now......

"Ahem......"

Yang Shuyu's expression was a little embarrassed:

"Let Boat 298 send the location, and we'll go and meet them."

"As for the thing they caught......"

At this moment, Luo Zhangming, who was next to him, leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Deputy commander, just now the crew of the anti-submarine helicopter reported that after the submarine was discovered, it had shot something similar to a decoy, presumably an unmanned underwater vehicle."

"If it happens to be fished up by Boat 298, I think we can take it back for research, but their boat is too small, so let's let the helicopter take off again and transfer it to our ship."

Yang Shuyu thought about it for a while, and also felt that this should be the safest way:

"Alright, let's do it!"
