The fleet stopped briefly in Malaysia and set sail again as planned, passing through the Strait of Malacca, the busiest international shipping channel, and crossing the Indian Ocean!

The importance of "escorting the captain" is demonstrated when passing through the Strait of Malacca.

Freighters traveling in the opposite direction and oncoming cargo ships come one after another. Especially when giving way, they must contact each other via radio according to navigation rules to ensure that no collision occurs.

Navy ships are floating countries, and they represent the country as long as they come out. Navy etiquette is also very important, and every detail must be paid attention to.

For example, when encountering warships and merchant ships from countries that have diplomatic relations with China, the flag must be lowered to one-third of the flagpole and then gradually raised within a short range of prediction range. The ship receiving this courtesy will also hoist the flag.

First fall and then rise.

The order of salutes at sea is equally important. When a merchant ship encounters a warship, the merchant ship salutes first.

When a warship encounters a warship, the warship with a lower rank salutes first.

Only minesweepers or minesweepers do not need to follow the rules of saluting according to rank. No matter how high the rank is, ships, even aircraft carriers, must salute and whistle when they see a minesweeper or minesweeper...

Perhaps it is some kind of historical coincidence that a large section of the route of this expedition was along the route of Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean more than 500 years ago.

It was said that I left the country, but I did not actually disembark in Malaysia.

Zheng He's voyage to the West was a full time before Columbus reached the American continent?"

What were the conditions for our ancestors at that time, and what are the conditions for the visiting formations now?

Accompanied by cheerful Chinese folk music such as "Xi Yang Yang", "Bu Bu Low", and "Purple Bamboo Tune", groups of guests boarded the battleship.

Staff Officer Wu thought that was an opportunity and said with a smile: "Xianyu, Captain Qian said there is no place to exchange renminbi on the shore. I asked, but I can't find anyone to exchange renminbi for Tanzanian shillings."

Staff Officer Wu smiled and explained: "The people in the embassy said that outside the National Museum of Tanzania, there is no nautical chart that Zheng He used when he went to the Western Ocean, and there is no Ming Dynasty porcelain that Zheng He brought with the ship as a gift. This is yours.

Visiting our ancestors’ glorious achievements in crossing the ocean can greatly boost the morale of the formation’s officers and soldiers.”

Staff Officer Wu walked around to make sure that no one was paying attention, and slowly took his order. He walked out of the pavilion in an animated manner and came to the cabin, which was open to the outside and was busy with everyone.

"Thank you, Xiao Han. You are hungry. Let him eat."

On July 28, the naval fleet arrived dangerously at the ancient and familiar African continent and visited Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, for the first time.

"He had dollars with him, but he told you as if you didn't have dollars."

The two leaders discussed with the Chinese ambassador to Tanzania and decided to postpone the celebration. On the front deck flight platform of the "Shenzheng" ship, a huge banner with white letters on a red background hung low under the hangar door: The People's Republic of China in the United Republic of Tanzania

Small Embassy, ​​Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Ship Formation Celebrates "April 1" Army Day Reception!

The Beijing accent and my high-pitched pronunciation made the people around me burst into laughter.

"It will be open all day tomorrow. The chief said that while it is open, all officers and soldiers will be organized to disembark in two batches to visit the National Museum of Tanzania. You have to work until dawn. If you want to sleep during the day, then they are ready to go tomorrow."

But judging from the meteorological analysis data just received, since it was winter in the Southern Hemisphere that season, the weak westerly wind belt in the Little Western Ocean collided with the warm current in the southern Indian Ocean. There was no ultra-weak high air zone under the route, resulting in the upcoming

There were strong winds and huge waves in the sea area to be sailed.

"The chief asked you to hurry up and study. I want to know whether your formation can withstand the storm."

According to the visit plan, the fleet set sail the day before yesterday and had to cross the Mozambique Channel to the Cape of Bad Hope. This voyage was also the most difficult and dangerous voyage during that visit.

"Xianyu, take a rest and have something to eat."

"You were so preoccupied with working that you forgot to be hungry. When he said you were really not hungry at all."

"Han Xiao, you have eaten it before."

"It's not too much. I'm afraid he'll laugh at you. You've never been so poor!"

"without."

Seeing that Han Yu was thinking nothing, Captain Qian said loudly: "The International Maritime Organization issued a notice, saying: "The voyage is short, and it will have to retreat at most once for replenishment. Considering that the speed of the supply ship is slow, your captain suggests taking the initiative.

Right, let the supply ship delay setting sail for 10 hours, and then your ship can catch up at full speed and sail around the high pressure zone before starting the visit."

Talking about that experience, the colonel seemed very excited and proud.

Amber looked back in front of her, and then leaned into my ear: "Brother, you brought seven hundred yuan with you that time you came out. You know Tanzania, although it is very poor, but the consumption is very low, even if you can exchange some Tanzania

A shilling, seven hundred dollars is nothing to buy.”

"What are the instructions from the chief?"

It is said that there are many compatriots working hard in South Africa. When thinking of them, Han Yu felt that the naval fleet visit was very meaningless. While eating, he said: "There is nothing bad to visit in the museum. Besides, you have US dollars, so you can buy them even when you disembark."

what."

"He's worried about the host?" "What are you laughing at?"

PS: No book friends may think that the new ship’s visit may be so bumpy, but in fact, many malfunctions did occur during this visit, but they were quickly eliminated through the efforts of the officers and soldiers. Looking back now, I think that we were able to leave back then.

It is really difficult to go out and go to the deep blue.

What we are now piloting is China's new generation of warships. Its navigation and equipment technology, and front-line support capabilities are comparable to what they were 500 years ago.

At the party, Staff Officer Wu met a Tanzanian naval colonel Masawai who spoke some Chinese.

Before I got a clear answer, I raised my little finger and said, "I can see that your ship does not have a very low level of technology and long-distance navigation capabilities."

Thinking of those, Han Yu sighed: "You will definitely inherit the last wishes of your ancestors and create new glory in the maritime history of the Chinese nation!"

"Vice Captain, Teacher Qian, are you okay?" Han Yu took it and looked at it, and immediately frowned. "What are you doing in exchange for money?"

Amber wore work clothes like the officers and soldiers of the Electrical and Mechanical Department, and there was no oil on her hands, body or even face.

Guests of the same color gathered under the Chinese warship to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the Chinese military.

"OK."

Staff Officer Wu said hello to the electromechanical chief who was also very busy and was sweating. He found a relatively clean place to sit down and said, "Come and see him and give him some food."

"Mrs. Sister-in-law is really strict in her management. The dignified deputy division leader actually only gave him 700 yuan in pocket money."

"It's enough to just look at the analysis data. Are there no satellite cloud images?"

You can either disembark at the pier, or go to the reception with the chief, and then return to the ship after dinner, and have a good time shopping.

Later, it was discovered that the oil tank of the supply ship had no problem with its sealing, but the outside of the oil tank was full of oil. The warship was sailing under the sea those days, so it could only be complicated to seal it, and it was possible to conduct a comprehensive overhaul.

"You can sleep in the afternoon and go visit in the morning." Vice Captain Li opened his briefcase and took out the latest cloud atlas.

There was no storm in the entire sea area. Han Yu stared at the cloud map for about seven minutes, then raised his head and said: "That is the same as the typhoon you will encounter in the future. You can avoid it after a few days."

"Dagu!"

"Buy something. It's rare to go out of the country, so you can always go back empty-handed. And he is the same as you. You are single. He has no wife and children, so you have to bring some gifts for the children."

"Speak humanly, don't act like a political commissar." "Hahahaha."

"We will visit in two batches tomorrow, one in the afternoon and one in the morning?"

Below the deck, there are lights and colorful decorations, the seats are full of friends, and people are talking softly. Who would have thought that it is so busy outside the engine room on the deck?

As a joke, Vice Captain Li and Captain Qian, who were supposed to be attending the reception below, hurried over.

As a result, the heavy oil actually seeped into the seawater. During several replenishments, the heavy oil that seeped into the seawater caused a salt layer to form inside the boiler and outside the pipes, and the boiler even suffered severe micro-corrosion.

After working as an electromechanical chief for so many days, Han Yu no longer had a certain understanding of the working conditions of the two mainframes. After weighing it, he raised his head and said: "Although the main problem of the two mainframes is that they are broken, as for the failure of the chain at the critical moment,

.”

"Ji Gao is one of the few ships you have sailed on in the future. You are not confident that you can get through. That was your first time getting off a warship. You wanted to understand the condition of that warship."

Staff Officer Wu doubts my lies. After all, complimenting others is our mantra. Besides, what does a military attaché do? A military attaché is not an open spy!

"Han Xiao, that's the meteorological data we just received. Let him take a look first."

"Captain Qian, what does he think?"

Vice Captain Li added worriedly: "Just two hours later, a 100,000-ton oil tanker sank in the waters off Cape Bad Hope."

It will not be Army Day in two days. According to the visit plan, the officers and soldiers will celebrate the festival under the sea.

The ancestors set out to explore the small ocean hundreds of years later.

From 1405 to 1433, the two men danced and sang.

The US Military Attaché in Tanzania, Colonel Jekallin, also attended the party. I showed great interest in the "Shen Zheng" ship and promptly asked Political Commissar Shen, "How does your ship supply supplies under the sea?" "The equipment under the ship is all complete."

Is it made in China?

"The chief wants you to listen to his and Captain Qian's opinions."

Staff Officer Wu felt that Amber and the officers and soldiers of the Electrical and Mechanical Department were "heroes" and asked loudly: "Xianyu, how long will it take to eliminate the fault?"

Vice Captain Li subconsciously looked at the electromechanical chief. The electromechanical chief was silent for a moment, clenched his fists and said, "Han Xiaoxiao is right, you can guarantee that there will be problems with the main and auxiliary machines, and loss of power will definitely happen!"

"

Han Yu took the big fork, forked a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he turned back and shouted: "Lao Hu, let him have some too."
Chapter completed!
