All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

Regarding Ye Bai's doubts, Nimitz shrugged his shoulders and said softly:"That's why I said this is just a personal guess of mine. There is no intelligence support. What is the situation? I can only wait for the subsequent telegram sent back by the submarine force. Only then can we know"

"Don't worry, sir. Although the division of the pirate fleet is indeed a bit sudden, we have already deployed a large number of submarines in the nearby waters. They cannot escape the tracking and monitoring of the submarine force."

"If they continue to be followed, all their actions will not escape the eyes of the submarine force, and the purpose of dividing the troops will soon be exposed."

Well, for the sake of saying that, Ye Bai really has nothing to ask. After all, Nimitz also said that they are just speculations without basis and reason. The submarine force needs to provide more Only by analyzing the situation can we make an accurate analysis and judgment.

Ye Bai simply stopped asking questions and returned to the captain's chair to sit down, looking at the busy officers and soldiers sitting at their respective stations without saying a word. , waiting silently for the latest report from the submarine force.

This time is not short. For submarines, the speed itself is not as good as that of surface ships. Short distances are fine. If the distance is too long, a relay method is needed to ensure that the pirates The fleet will not lose sight of"150".

How to ensure effective and timely communication and coordination between relay submarines is not that easy. Moreover, submarines operating underwater must have the ability to communicate with the outside world. Contact is also not that easy. It is extremely difficult for radio signals to penetrate seawater. It is a problem of the century. Even on earth with advanced military technology, it is impossible for submarines to communicate as easily underwater as on the water. , let alone the great maritime world where military technology is decades behind.

Under the current technological level of the great maritime world, the connection between submarines and the outside world is not that simple, so even if they overcome all difficulties and figure out the purpose of the pirate fleet's division , it is not that simple to send relevant intelligence back to the combat situation center.

Surfacing to the periscope depth and releasing the communication buoy will greatly increase the risk of the submarine being exposed. Under multiple dangers, those who stay in the combat situation center The telegram that Ye Bai and Nimitz were waiting for might take a long time to be sent back.

Knowing this, Ye Bai chose to sit quietly on the captain's chair and wait silently, without anyone urging the person responsible for tracking and monitoring. Submarine unit.

A full day passed from the time when the submarine unit sent back a telegram reporting the division of the pirate fleet to when it received another telegram from the submarine unit.

At night, Ye Bai couldn't bear the sleepiness and wanted to When he went back to sleep, the War Situation Center finally received the telegram.

Nimitz, who had also been waiting in the War Situation Center for a long time, but still remained calm and collected, received the telegram and read the content before reporting to Ye Bai.

"Sir, the telegram from the submarine force has been received. According to their tracking and reconnaissance, the purpose of one of the pirate fleets has been clarified. It is to rob a small transport fleet. It has already been engaged."

"However, as night fell, the fleets on both sides had temporarily ceased fire, and each retreated a certain distance. It was estimated that they would not start fighting again until dawn."

After hearing Nimitz's words, Ye Bai frowned. The attack on the transport fleet did not go beyond Nimitz's previous expectations. It was an expected thing. Regardless of whether Nimitz's so-called random speculation was true or false. , this situation may occur, so it is still impossible to know the purpose of this pirate fleet's division.

"What about the other pirate fleet? What's the situation now? Could it be that they also went to attack another transport fleet?"

The purpose of one of the two scattered pirate fleets has been clarified, but the movements of the other pirate fleet are not yet understood, which is also the most important and critical.

Nimitz shook his head and said directly:"No , they sailed for a whole day and only anchored on the sea after nightfall. Their specific purpose is not known yet, but I have contacted the submarines operating in front of this pirate fleet route before, and they found nothing."

"During the day, a small fleet consisting of only a few battleships was discovered, but the heading was inconsistent and it should not be the target of this pirate fleet."

Well, after fussing for a long time and waiting all day long, we still haven't been able to figure out the purpose of this pirate fleet.

"Okay, now that this pirate fleet has stopped moving forward, we don’t have to worry. Let’s rest first and warn the following submarines to be careful and not to be easily exposed. No matter what the pirate fleet’s intentions are, it is estimated that tomorrow There can be a result, but it would be too uneconomical to expose it at this time."

Even without Ye Bai's reminder, Nimitz knew what to do. These things were all his expertise. He nodded quickly and said,"Don't worry, sir, I will inform you.""

It was already night, and the pirate fleet had stopped moving. There was nothing to pay attention to next. Ye Bai was really sleepy, so he got up and left the war situation center, preparing to return to the captain's room to protect him. He fell asleep under the gentle massage of the ladies.

Before leaving, Ye Bai did not forget to tell Nimitz that if there was any new movement in the pirate fleet, he must wake him up immediately. He wanted to know about it as soon as possible. to the situation of the pirate fleet.

However, Ye Bai's special instructions were completely in vain. For a whole night, the war situation center did not receive a telegram from the submarine force. In other words, the pirate fleet being tracked and monitored by them was simply not There was no movement, allowing Ye Bai to have a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, Ye Bai climbed out of bed early after having a peaceful sleep. I don't know if it was because there was a nurse there every night. Their gentle massage greatly improved the quality of Ye Bai's sleep.

During this period, Ye Bai got up very early. He obviously slept less than before, but he was very energetic after getting up every morning. , it was even better than before relying on a long sleep to recover.

After breakfast, Ye Bai came to the war center again. Before he had time to ask, Nimitz shook his head when he discovered him. The meaning was quite obvious, but there was no news yet.

At this moment, Ye Bai couldn't ask any questions, so he sat down on the captain's chair, picked up a book and started reading, but in fact, not a word of it was revealed. I didn't know how long it took

, but a communications soldier in charge of the radio system hurried to Nimitz and handed a translated telegram to Nimitz. He read the contents of the telegram. Nimitz showed a hint of joy on his face...

Ye Bai, who had no intention of reading, was also alarmed by the footsteps of the signal soldiers. The books in his hands were thrown away and he stared at Nimitz closely, waiting for him. explain

"Good news, sir, that pirate fleet has started moving again, and our submarine has followed."

Ye Bai let out a long breath after hearing this. This is good news. As long as the pirate fleet takes action, there will always be a chance to figure out their purpose. The most feared thing is that the air suddenly becomes quiet and there is no movement. That is The most torturous thing.

At this moment, another signal soldier hurried over and handed the telegram in his hand to Nimitz.

This is something that these officers and soldiers in the war situation center didn't know when they developed it. According to custom, it is clear that Ye Bai is the supreme commander of the entire Chinese fleet, but the telegrams in the hands of the communication soldiers are often handed over to Nimitz first.

If it were in the real world, I am afraid Ye Bai would have to be careful that Nimitz has too much power and prestige. If it is too high, it is very likely that the master will be arrogant due to his high achievements.

But this is the world of navigation, and many rules are completely different from the real world. There are system guarantees and loyalty support provided by Ye Bai. He was not worried that Nimitz would betray him, and even followed the principle of more work for the able, allowing Nimitz to take on more and more important responsibilities.

"My lord, good news, good news."

After reading the telegram, Nimitz, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but beam with joy, which made Ye Bai feel itchy in his heart as if he had been scratched by a cat.

"What's going on? Say it quickly."

Nimitz's self-control ability is very strong, and he was only happy for a short time. He quickly controlled his emotions and explained:"After discovering that the pirate fleet was divided yesterday, I based on their sailing Trajectory, simulated the course of the two fleets"

"Although it will not be too accurate, it can also be used as a reference. Contact the submarines in front of their route in advance to expand the scope of reconnaissance and search to see if there is anything gained."

"The hard work paid off. Just at 0:00 this morning, a submarine discovered an island. Judging from its area, it should be a pirate base island. No pirate warships were found around it."

"However, our submarine does not dare to approach it. It is currently unknown whether there are pirates on the base island."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

When Nimitz opened his mouth to explain, a smile appeared on Ye Bai's face. The more he listened, the stronger the smile became. In the end, even the corners of his mouth It almost reached the back of my head.

"Okay, okay, okay, our plan finally succeeded. Nimitz, it seems that your guess is correct. This pirate fleet should be going to protect their base."

Now that the submarine has discovered the existence of the suspected pirate base island, the purpose of the pirate fleet's division is almost clear. One of them is to return to the base island to protect the base.

The purpose of the other fleet has long been exposed. They attacked a transport fleet, apparently to rob a batch of resources and use them to develop a new pirate base island.

After all, for a newly born base island, it is empty and there is nothing. If you want to develop it into a suitable base island, you need to invest a lot of resources.
