First of all, the entire Port of Samsun, including several kilometers around it, was blocked by the Turkish army. In terms of security, he asked Yan Yu to rest assured that apart from being a tobacco export port, this place had basically no other trade exchanges, and the population
There are not many, and they have all been moved to live elsewhere, so except for the Turkish army transporting supplies, no one else can enter this port at all.
Secondly, the Turkish navy general also thought very carefully about the daily life of the 41 submarine officers and soldiers of the Federal Navy. Not only did he take into account Yan Yu's living habits and prepare a large amount of vegetables and meat, he also prepared a large amount of vegetables and meat from the Turkish army.
Two chefs who can cook Chinese cuisine were transferred from the army to be responsible for the meals of the federal navy. However, the Turkish navy general named Assad secretly apologized to Yan Yu in private, because Turkey is an Islamic country, so in prostitutes
On the other hand, the Turkish Navy is powerless.
Finally, General Assad took out the roster of the 200 Turkish Navy personnel participating in the training, asked Yan Yu to read it, and told Yan Yu very seriously that these 200 people were all elites drawn from the Turkish Navy, including
The original 30 Turkish submariners were replaced because there was also a French submarine in the Turkish Navy. However, after seeing the submarines of the Federal Navy, General Assad knew that there could be such a big gap between submarines.
Major Yan Yu was very satisfied with Turkey's preparations. After learning that Turkey also had dozens of submarine soldiers, he was even more happy. After all, it is definitely more difficult to train people who have never been exposed to submarines than to train some soldiers who have been exposed to submarines.
There are many of them. If there are dozens of Turkish submarine soldiers taking the lead, my training work may be smoother.
Major Yan Yu doesn't care much about whether there are prostitutes and Chinese food. Although there are locals outside the federal naval base who have opened a lot of brothels and wine specifically for sailors' business, but for submarine soldiers, this is not the case.
Necessities.
"General, your preparations have been perfect. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my crew. However, I am afraid that the work of a submarine is different from any work on a surface ship. In order to avoid future troubles, can you agree?
Do I have one condition?”
"Instructor Yan, please tell me."
"I may have to conduct a test on these 200 naval personnel to ensure that they are suitable to work on submarines. If there are unsuitable candidates, please allow me to propose replacements, because work on submarines is really different from other ships.
"
"Well...can you explain your reasons to me first? If it is indeed reasonable, I will make the right arrangements." General Assad obviously did not believe that the 200 people he had carefully selected would not
Suitable for work on submarines. These people are the best in the Turkish Navy and are qualified sailors and officers even on battleships.
"That's necessary. Let me first give you an overview of life on a submarine. Then you will know why submarine soldiers are different from ordinary sailors."
"Okay, I have time today. If Instructor Yan doesn't bother you, please sit down and let's chat slowly." Assad let Yan Yu sit on the sofa, walked to the wine cabinet next to him, and prepared a table for the two of them.
Each poured a glass of wine.
"The space on a submarine is very limited. Take the Tuna-class submarine you purchased as an example. Its internal space can only accommodate 30 beds, including the captain, navigation chief, electromechanical chief, fish and mine chief, translator
Electricians and other officers have fixed beds, and the remaining beds are for other sergeants and sailors. In other words, each person cannot get a bed and needs to take turns sleeping. It is about three people and two beds." Yan Yu stopped.
He paused and took a sip of wine.
"The air on the submarine is very bad. Due to the lack of water, you can't take regular showers. The smell of sweat, spoiled food, waste oil, waste water, exhaust gas, and the toxic gas from launching torpedoes are all mixed together. Ordinary people can't stay in it.
In half an hour, you will become nervous, unable to concentrate, and even feel physically uncomfortable."
"There are poisonous gases... God... won't that be dangerous?" General Assad was obviously unfamiliar with submarines. He listened with interest and asked questions.
"Danger always accompanies submarines, General. Although those gases are toxic, the concentration is not high and the harm to the human body is very slight. But other dangers are really dangerous. For example, you cannot smoke in a submarine because the battery pack of the submarine
It will emit hydrogen gas. If it is not handled in time, a little spark will cause an explosion. If it is underwater, then the people inside will be very dangerous. Even if you go to the toilet, as long as you do not follow the standard procedures, the dirt will be
It will spray all over you, or the submarine will leak and sink."
"God...so how did you survive?"
"Discipline and endurance are the main means of survival for submariners. Discipline is the first law in a submarine. Everyone must strictly abide by every discipline like a machine. Endurance is the basic quality of submariners. Without endurance,
Then you can't become a qualified submariner." Yan Yu put down his wine glass and looked at General Assad who seemed to understand, knowing that the former captain still didn't understand the living and working conditions on the submarine.
But he couldn't understand it by listening, so he decided to take the general to take a look inside the submarine.
"Your Majesty General, if you are willing, I would like to invite you to sit in my submarine. Only by experiencing it personally can you understand what it feels like. I don't know if your body will allow it..."
"My health is fine. Although my arm was broken, it is already healed. I am very willing to go to your submarine and have a look. Let's leave now." General Assad is also very interested in the mysterious submarine.
, answered while picking up the hat.
Yan Yu took Asad to the dock, where a "Tuna-class" submarine was docked. The sailors on it were cleaning and inspecting the deck. Watching them busy climbing up and down, Asad
General De was even more eager to give it a try and started to walk towards the trestle.
"General, wait a minute... You need to change into work clothes, otherwise your clothes will be full of oil stains when they come out. Chief of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, bring the general a set of my work clothes." Yan Yu quickly stopped the general and turned around to rush.
shouted from the submarine. After a while, a federal submarine soldier climbed down from the bridge with a paper package, came to the trestle, saluted Yan Yu and General Assad, and handed the paper package to
Gave it to Yan Yu.
"Yes, this is the proper way to change into work clothes." The general looked a bit like a child now. He didn't care about the occasion. He took off his Turkish navy uniform and threw it to the adjutant next to him. Then he opened the paper bag and took out the blue
I put it on my submarine work clothes.
"I'm here to be your tour guide this time, distinguished general." Yan Yu waited for Assad to finish changing his work clothes, made a gesture of invitation, and took the lead in walking across the trestle to the rear deck of the submarine.
"It's a great honor...I am also a submarine soldier now, hahaha, this clothes is very nice, is it hemp?" General Assad asked while passing the trestle and touching the clothes on his body.
"Yes, in a submarine, other fabrics can easily cause damage to the skin. This kind of linen has been specially treated. It absorbs water and dries easily. It is more comfortable to wear." Yan Yu helped the man who had just stepped onto the back deck.
General.
"This kind of submarine belongs to the Tuna class, with a total length of 55 meters. This is the rear deck. This tall thing is called the bridge. When the submarine is sailing, no one can stand here. Everyone has to get down into the submarine.
, only the captain, navigator, electromechanical chief and a signalman have the right to stand on this, go up and have a look?" Yan Yu asked Assad while holding the shell of the command platform.
"Go up, you have to go up. I am also an officer, so I can stand on it?" Assad climbed up the escalator, mumbling.
Arriving on the bridge, Assad stood on the command platform, looked forward, then turned to touch some thick pipes at the back, and then said to Yan Yu who had just climbed up:
"The bridge here is not as enjoyable as on a warship. It is too small and short. What are these big pipes used for?" (To be continued...)
