    At the same time, on the electronic reconnaissance ship "The Thinker" of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet, VOA reporter Martin Edwards looked at the thin rain outside the porthole. After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen and wrote in the open interview book.  Said: ¡°On November 3, 1987, the Chinese fleet seemed to have encountered unprecedented challenges, including complex weather, changing sea conditions, and Soviet submarines everywhere. They had sent out warning ships to search for Soviet submarines.

    But this is far from enough, because their antique ships lack modern communication equipment and sonar systems. Looking for it with the naked eye is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Yes, I have to quote this idiom from China, because this sentence  The words are too apt to describe the dilemma of the Chinese fleet today, even though this fleet is the most powerful fleet organized by China in the past twenty years.

    The U.S. Navy, well aware of the serious situation, has made a request for assistance from the Chinese fleet, but has received no response from the Chinese fleet. Perhaps the noble face of the Chinese made them deliberately turn a blind eye, but Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell, the captain of the "Thinker",  Tell me another incredible speculation, that is, there is a problem with the Chinese fleet's communication system, which prevents them from sending out the information even if they receive it.

    I hope the silence of the Chinese fleet is due to the latter. However, this is still very puzzling. A fleet composed of two destroyers and four frigates cannot even guarantee basic communications. I really don¡¯t know if there is no powerful  What will happen to this fleet if the U.S. Navy pins down the Soviets?

    Perhaps because of this, Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell has reported the situation here to the US military headquarters in Subic Bay, which has agreed to send two P-3A anti-submarine patrol aircraft to support. My colleague Mr. Grint  Will come together randomly, and he will witness the entire process of the U.S. Navy resisting Soviet hegemony"

    ¡°Dong dong~~~¡±

    Just when Edwards was immersed in writing the press release and was enjoying himself, there was a sudden knock on the cabin door, and the voice of Captain Mitchell of the "Thinker" came immediately: "Mr. Edwards, are you there?"

    Edwards, who was originally disturbed, was a little unhappy. When he heard that it was Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell, all his unhappiness was immediately forgotten. He quickly stood up, opened the hatch, and greeted Mitchell with a smile: "Hi, Mitchell."  Lieutenant Colonel, I just made some coffee, would you like to come in and try it?¡±

    "No!"

    Mitchell is a tall, blond, middle-aged man with a mustache and a pair of horizontal-rimmed glasses. When he sees Edwards, he does not smile politely like other officers, but smiles as usual.  With a straight face, he said coldly and majestically: "According to the latest intelligence, the Chinese navy's support force is approaching here quickly, so we are preparing to release some jamming signals to try to delay the Soviets from discovering that the Chinese support force is approaching.  During this period, the satellite communication phone on the ship will be suspended. If you need anything in this regard, we hope to complete it within fifteen minutes."

    Edwards was startled for a moment. He didn¡¯t expect China¡¯s support force to arrive so quickly. Didn¡¯t it mean that the Chinese navy no longer had decent forces around here?  Even if there were, with the backward equipment of the Chinese navy, it would still take two days to set off from Qiongdao. But less than twenty hours had passed from yesterday evening to today's noon, and they were almost there?

    Did the diesel engine on the Chinese naval ship explode?  No, even if the tank exploded, it couldn't have happened so quickly. He had seen clearly what was going on with the Chinese fleet not far away in the past few days. He hadn't heard of any new moves by the Chinese navy?

    Edwards, who has long studied maritime power in East Asia and Southeast Asia, had questions all over his head. He was stunned for a moment and was called by Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell's name twice. Then he came back to his senses and apologized quickly: "Sorry, I just wanted to  I¡¯ve asked a lot of questionsI¡¯m going to call my colleagues first and inform them of my next situation.¡±

    Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell nodded, and Edwards quickly walked out of the cabin and walked towards the communications room. He wanted to immediately contact Grint, who came with the P-3A anti-submarine patrol plane, and asked the Voice of America aerial photojournalist in Asia-Pacific to be sure  Take a few more photos of Chinese support ships.

    Because the reporter¡¯s professional sensitivity told Edwards that China¡¯s unusual speed revealed an evil nature.

    ¡­¡­

    Also feeling that things were a bit abnormal was Major Chatonov, the captain of the Soviet Eighth Squadron reconnaissance ship "Golden Wheat Wave". Starting from midnight yesterday, he appeared hundreds of nautical miles north of the "Golden Wheat Wave"  A strong radio signal emission source. By noon today, this signal emission source was already 180 nautical miles away from the Chinese fleet.

    When this signal source was discovered at midnight, the distance between the "Golden Wheat Wave" and it was about 500 nautical miles. In just twelve hours, it was shortened to 180 nautical miles. In other words, the rapidly approaching signal source wasIt took 12 hours to cover more than 320 nautical miles.

    The average speed reaches an astonishing 28 knots (equivalent to 51 kilometers per hour).

    You must know that from last night to now, the rain on the sea has not stopped, and the waves have changed several times with the wind direction. The overall sea conditions cannot be said to be that bad, but they are complicated enough. Under such circumstances, even the main combat ships can maintain 20 to  The speed of 23 knots is already very good.

    Because in addition to sea conditions, whether the ship's own power can support long-term high speed is also an issue that cannot be ignored. After all, a high-speed operating power system not only consumes high fuel, but is also very detrimental to its own reliability and service life. Otherwise, how can the navy form a formation?  Generally, the economic speed of 14 knots or 18 knots is adopted, and this is why.

    However, this obviously Chinese support ship actually maintained a high speed of 28 knots for twelve hours. In addition to being eager to support the Chinese fleet not far away, its own excellent power system also shows that it is  An extremely good combat ship.

    You must know that even the most advanced gas turbine ships in the Soviet Union do not dare to run so wildly and happily. The failure rate is high and the maintenance is poor. What if something goes wrong and anchors at sea?

    With this inference, Major Chatonov frowned involuntarily. He has been stationed in Cam Ranh Bay for a long time. In addition to studying the U.S. Navy in Subic Bay, he is most concerned about the Chinese Navy, especially those like them.  Those who do reconnaissance intelligence will not let go of any clues.

    But Major Chatonov's brain was turned into mush, and he couldn't find any news about any new ships in China. As for the ships that can maintain high speeds for a long time, he couldn't find any. But it doesn't matter if he can't find them.  One of them rushed over and happened to go over to take a look. Anyway, studying China's new warships is also a very important task for them.

    Having made up his mind, Major Chatonov was about to give the order, but at this moment, a strong interference signal caused the electronic equipment on the "Golden Wheat Wave" to become chaotic. Major Chatonov did not panic at all, and just sneered.  : "Yanks just love to do these little tricks."

    After saying that, he picked up the intercom and loudly ordered: "Switch to the backup frequency, then turn on the jammer, and let the American friends who sent me gifts have a taste of high-power jamming."

    Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and told the staff: "Change the course and go see the Chinese comrades' new toys."
