Chapter 55 Unspoken
※When Dongfang Wen finished introducing the situation, Pei Chengyi took out the cigarettes he had prepared long ago
Although he never objected to others smoking, because he quit smoking, his subordinates formed a habit. That is, there was no clear permission and they would never smoke in front of Pei Chengyi. The problem is that Pei Chengyi could not say, "Please smoke" or "Everyone smoke whatever you want". For this reason, he would prepare a pack of cigarettes every time he held a meeting. He took out a cigarette to make everyone freely. Over time, it became an unwritten rule.
"The situation has been made very clear." Pei Chengyi glanced at everyone and said, "Before discussing the specific tactics, I would like to emphasize one thing. Before the meeting, I contacted the Military Intelligence Bureau. If everything goes well, within two days, the Military Intelligence Bureau will spread the news that the Republic will send submarines to the South Atlantic Ocean. In other words, there are great variables in this combat operation. In addition to the British submarines being more cautious, it is very likely to attract secret intervention from the United States. We must prepare in advance. When formulating a combat plan, we must consider various possible unexpected situations."
"The possibility of direct involvement in the United States is not very high."
When Pei Chengyi heard Hua Jianfeng suddenly speak, he turned his gaze.
"The key is. Will the Military Intelligence Bureau disclose information related to "Bat Scale.?"
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and asked, "Is this very important?"
"Obviously, it's very important." Hua Jianfeng said with a sigh, "It can be said that "they are all top-secret information, and it can even be said that what we know is processed."
"Lao Hua. You are not an outsider too, are you?"
Hua Jianfeng glanced at Dongfang Wen and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Dongfang Wen didn't say anything, Hua Jianfeng's answer was enough.
"Let me say that, based on my understanding, the General Staff is willing to send "Bat Whale, the number is sent here. In addition to having no better choice, it also has a lot to do with the Military Intelligence Bureau."
"What's the meaning?"
"In fact; "The Batsho. is very similar to the "Swordfish," and is an attack submarine with a strong experimental nature."
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and listened carefully.
Because the existence of the "Swordfish" is no longer a secret, as relevant information is gradually declassified, Hua Jianfeng, the first captain of the "Swordfish", is also famous. To be precise, it is because of Hua Jianfeng's emergence in the navy, which has attracted much attention. Although the Republic has never admitted that the "Swordfish" sank the Indian Navy's nuclear submarine and aircraft carrier in the Fourth India-Pakistan War, in the information that has been published, the Republic government has in disguisely recognized the important role played by the "Swordfish" in the Fourth India-Pakistan War and the East China Sea War.
Other officers also knew about these things, so when Hua Jianfeng mentioned the "Swordfish", he focused his energy.
"As early as ten years ago, we were experiencing a lot of money with the United States." Hua Jianfeng lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and said, "Although the room-temperature superconducting technology has greatly improved the performance of submarines, especially the widespread application of advanced power technologies such as composite batteries and superconducting motors, has made the performance of submarines reach a height that was too small to imagine in the past, but the propulsion technology closely related to the submarine's performance has not made substantial progress, or the application of room-temperature superconducting technology is not thorough. Before the launch of "Squidfish, the progress of submarines was not yet reborn."
"Squidfish, is it just a simple test submarine?"
"Yes, that's why the status of "Sealfish," is very important. You should know that the most famous submarines in the history of modern submarines are almost all simple test submarines, such as the "Big Blue and White Fish," Hua Jianfeng looked at Yang Shaoyong who asked the question, and then began the topic, "In fact, before the thug of "Sealfish," we had used magneto-fluid propulsion devices on "Sealfish," otherwise we would not have used "Flounder Boat Type. However, the magneto-fluid propulsion devices used in "Sealfish," and can only be used during low-speed cruises. And the grouping time is not more than one hundred hours without faults. There is no doubt that such a propulsion system has no practical value at all. In order to obtain a mature magneto-fluid propulsion device as soon as possible, the Navy built the "Sealfish,"
"We will certainly not be the only one who is interested in new advancement technology."
"That's true, the United States is more interested than us." Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "As we all know, after entering the electric era, the performance of our submarines exceeded that of American submarines. my country is very ahead of many related technologies, such as composite batteries, superconducting motors, high-strength alloys, etc. The United States only has an advantage in traditional fields such as electronic technology, fluid mechanics, and hydroacoustics. Although we have not had a large-scale maritime conflict with the United States, our submarines have fought with American submarines many times in the unknown deep sea. More importantly, until now, we still maintain an unbeaten record in the competition with American submarines. For the United States, if we want to turn the situation around, the only way is to make breakthroughs in key technologies that can have a decisive impact on the performance of submarines, and to put them into practical applications ahead of us. You believe that Britain, which cannot even enter the top ten in the comprehensive national strength, has the ability to take the lead in building a clever fluid-propelled submarine, the first to build a clever fluid-propelled submarine. For the United States, if you want to turn the situation around, the only way is to make breakthroughs in key technologies that can have a decisive impact on the performance of submarines, and to put it into practical applications before us. You believe that the United Kingdom, which cannot even enter the top ten, is able to make a first-class fluid-propelled submarine in the comprehensive national strength, is able to take the lead in building a clever fluid-propelled submarine
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they understood.
Hua Jianfeng destroyed the cigarette butt, smiled coldly, and said, "Don't say that the people from the Military Intelligence Agency don't believe it, when I saw the news, I decided that the United States was quietly helping the United Kingdom, or the smart Americans came up with some unreliable technology, which made the British government spend tens of billions to buy a teaching for the US Navy. Not to mention anything else, "Quick, Class has been in service for several years, and the US Navy has not built a submarine that can be built, indicating that the US and Britain's end-fluid technology cannot be achieved enough. Back to the submarine base, we can know the specific situation of the "Quick, Class. Judging from the current situation, "Quick, Class must have many problems, otherwise it will not be comparable to "Saisha, Class, Class," which is more than ten years behind in combat."
"As you say, the U.S. Navy is definitely paying attention to our progress."
"It's true, otherwise I wouldn't pay so much attention to this matter." Hua Jianfeng lit a second cigarette and said to Pei Chengyi. "As early as the Indian War, the United States tried every means to spy on the situation of "killer whale class," but the speed of the war was beyond everyone's expectations. Before the US intelligence agencies launched an operation, the war ended. Relatively speaking, the US Navy was more concerned about the situation of "cutlefish," the situation. Unfortunately, over the years, the "cutlefish," the Bohai Bay has been in the Bohai Bay for a long time. Even if he goes to other waters, he will not act alone, and he will not give the US Navy any chance. Imagine that if we knew that we sent the most advanced "Baozou". It's not me who bragged to you, and even if the whole family would not mobilize, the US Navy would send several most advanced submarines."
After hearing Hua Jianfeng say this, several officers all looked shocked.
"In other words, if we don't do it well, we have to fight with the US Navy." Hua Jianfeng glanced at Pei Chengyi and said. "Although this kind of secret battle is not uncommon, even before we were born, the US Navy's submarines had fought with the previous opponent in the depths of the ocean for decades, but this was not the same as before, and the South Atlantic Ocean was not another sea area. If there was no conflict between the Horse Island, we would have had a big trouble here. The problem now is that if the trouble was too harsh, the consequences would be difficult to imagine."
"We have some concerns. The United States will also have some concerns." Pei Chengyi put down the teacup and said, "It is undeniable that Lao Hua's analysis makes sense. If we really make a big deal, we will not be able to take it. The key is that the US Navy will not be ignorant of the importance. More importantly, when revealing the relevant information, the Military Intelligence Bureau will definitely have some concerns."
"What does it mean to be promoted?" Hua Jianfeng said with a hint of meaning.
"If it were just two countries to compete for a deserted island, would it be necessary for us to send troops to the South Atlantic?" Pei Chengyi glanced at Hua Jianfeng and said, "In other words, when the Military Intelligence Bureau revealed that we had to come up with a reason that was convincing when we sent submarines into the South Atlantic. If we had sent submarines ten years ago or ten years later, there might not be too many reasons. But now there must be a sufficient reason. Domestic reform is at a critical moment. The election of the term has not been completed for a long time. Military reforms are difficult, and we have to solve the problem of eating for more than one billion Indians. These problems limit the Republic's hands and feet and restrict our foreign policy. In other words, if the South Atlantic does not have a major interest in the future of the nation, we have no reason to send the most advanced, or even unique submarines in the world."
Hua Jianfeng nodded slightly and said, "So, there are gains on the island of Ma.
"There are indeed gains. But I don't know what the specifics are." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "This is not the most critical issue. Whether there is gain is not important. What is important is that the Military Intelligence Agency will definitely release the relevant information so that American policy makers believe that the Republic will not give up Argentina easily."
"The question is, will conflict turn into war?"
"It depends on how the United States chooses." Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief. "We should not consider this issue. Since the General Staff sent a submarine over, it shows that the above is very sure of this."
"Maybe, this is testing the United States." Dongfang Wen interrupted.
Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Let's stop talking about this, come back to our topic. Judging from the current situation, "The Bat Whale will arrive in the early morning of the 27th, which means that we have to arrange combat operations against British submarines accordingly. As I said to Tracescu, dealing with British submarines is only a secondary task. The main task is to send reinforcements and combat supplies to the island within two days. How is the talk in the East, Patos?
"What can it be?" Dongfang Wen smiled bitterly and said, "I have been busy for a day and haven't even seen anyone else. In the words of Adjutant Patos, if we can send reinforcements and combat supplies as promised, they promise to annihilate the remaining British troops on the island before thirty days.
Hua Jianfeng sneered and said, "What guarantee does Patos have?"
"There is no need to compete with the Argentine Army." Pei Chengyi said without much talkativeness with Hua Jianfeng, "According to my judgment, even if we thugs according to the strategy and send the supplies and troops, it will be difficult for the Argentine Army to occupy the island of Cavaliers before 30 days. Therefore, we must prepare for the most likely situation, that is, the Argentine Army failed to capture the entire island of Cavaliers in time, and the British task force arrived in early May as planned. We must solve the problem for the Argentine Army before this."
"Then you have to rely on the mercenary from Huaan Company."
Pei Chengyi nodded to Yang Shaoyong and said, "This is one of them. Before that, we must convince Ajun, that is, we must prove our strength.
"In other words, treat the secondary task as the main task?" Hua Jianfeng immediately heard Pei Chengyi's meaning.
"Annihilation of British submarines is very important, but not very important. The primary task is still what I began to say. The maritime route must be opened as soon as possible." Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although in the long run, if several British submarines can be killed at this time, and they are the most advanced submarines of the British Navy, then "Otter; the battle will be much easier, but we are not our war. The Republicans and those who have direct intervention have very limited troops to be allocated. If we put our hope on a submarine, we may regret it."
Hua Jianfeng frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Pei Chengyi's point of view.
"No matter what, we make full use of various favorable conditions." Speaking of combat operations, Pei Chengyi never took too much care of other people's feelings. "My idea is to make full use of the favorable conditions for Liu to intervene in the Argentine war, that is, the British authorities are not clear about the situation, and they believe that the commander of the Argentine generals are still the Afghan generals. Specifically, they use the old method and still dispatch fleets to transport troops and supplies to the Horse Island. Of course, the eggs cannot be put in a basket. At the same time, according to our previous ideas, we use a large number of fast ships to transport troops and supplies to the Horse Island, especially the crucial heavy equipment. As long as the troops and supplies can be delivered to the island, no matter how the Afgine's performance is, it will not have much impact on the results."
"Then we have to reset the route."
Pei Chengyi nodded and said to Hua Jianfeng: "You are fully responsible for shipping work and anti-submarine warfare, and will be assisted by Dongfang Wen.
Hua Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. Although in his opinion, there was no need to let Dongfang Wen participate in maritime operations, according to Pei Chengyi's intention, Dongfang Wen's main job was not to participate in naval warfare, but to be responsible for shipping for Hua Jianfeng, especially to negotiate with the Argentine authorities.
"Yang Shaoyong, you prepare as soon as possible." Pei Chengyi turned his eyes to the Army Major, "After the meeting, you will take the Argentine transport plane to the Port of Argentina, find Colonel Run Ruilin, report my name directly, and tell him. The Military Intelligence Bureau asked me to fully handle military operations related to the Cabernet Island dispute."
"Tell me directly?"
"Yes, there is no need to be polite. He was arranged by the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Hua'an Legion." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "After completing it, your first job is to confirm the specific abilities of the members of the army, especially how many people can skillfully operate Ajun's heavy weapons and equipment. Remember to give me a detailed report as soon as possible."
“No problem, then what to do?.
"Then we wait for the next instructions. During this period, try to get along with the people in the corps. If we don't do it well, we have to count on those hundreds of mercenaries."
Yang Shaoyong nodded and said nothing more.
"Long Hongen, you can prepare too, and go to the Argentine Air Force Command after dawn."
"Why are you going there? The Air Force Lieutenant Colonel obviously didn't react.
"Look at Alfonso and report his situation to me in time." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Of course, his official identity is the coordinator of the Military Advisory Group. His main job is to assist the Argentine Air Force in commanding aviation anti-submarine operations. If Alfonso causes you trouble, if you can, you can tolerate it. If you can't, call me."
Long Hongen smiled bitterly. He didn't talk much.
"Hu Jing'an, your task is to assist Dongfang Wen in handling shipping work Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "The key to shipping work is confidentiality and deception. To put it simply, the transport fleet is bait used to deal with British submarines. It doesn't matter whether it can lure British submarines in the past. It is important to ensure that small ships carrying important materials can safely arrive at the port of Argentina, and there must be no mistakes. I will contact the Military Intelligence Bureau as soon as possible and ask them to send a few experts who are knowledgeable, but you have to be responsible for the main work yourself."
Hu Jingan nodded and agreed.
"Dongfang Wen, remember to tell other officers that from now on, I will arrange the work directly." Pei Chengyi glanced at everyone and said, "In the future, I will hold video conferences from time to time to deploy and adjust the work arrangements. What I will tell you on the first day. Although this is not our war, we must be worthy of the high salary and be a military adviser who respects professional ethics. If there is no other problem, today's meeting will end here, everyone will prepare."
After the meeting, Hua Jianfeng deliberately slowed down half a beat, and after the others went out, he closed the door of the lounge.
"There's something else?"
"Are you really sure to kill those British submarines?"
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Lao Hua, you are the submarine commander. I'm not afraid of you making fun of you. I don't know what the submarine looks like."
"I'll tell you the truth, aren't you afraid that Ji Ge is too beautiful and reality is too cruel?"
"I'm afraid, of course, I can't do nothing because of fear, right?" Pei Chengyi said with a long sigh, "The right to choose whether to fight or not is not in our hands. The British are not fools. I should be able to see the clues. What I bet on is whether the British are rational enough. Of course, the chance of winning is still very high. No matter what, a country that can dominate the world for hundreds of years and rely on maritime power cannot not know the powerful relationship. If you fight those submarines, what is left of the British Navy? As long as you figure this out, you can tacitly take your needs."
Hua Jianfeng frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and shook his head, and said, "It seems that you have considered everything you should consider."
"I hope so, but plans can never catch up with changes, we must deal with them carefully."
"Then I won't talk much, I'll contact you if you have something to do."
“Contact if you have something to do.”
Pei Chengyi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Hua Jianfeng away. If he could consider all possible situations, he would not face this mess.
