Chapter 840 Planned Actions (Part 2)
Sending submarines there is not that easy. No one knows what the situation is like there. After all, although the current Chinese aircraft carrier fleet is not near the Diaoyu Islands, it is not far away from the Diaoyu Islands. According to an aircraft carrier battle group,
In terms of defense circle, that distance has entered the outer defense circle of China's aircraft carrier formation. There must be submarines belonging to the Inner Mongolia aircraft carrier battle group of China's East China Sea Fleet cruising nearby.
As it happens, that area is probably the range of activities of submarines. China's submarine technology has always been good. Although it cannot be compared with the United States, in the past two years, according to some information collected by the CIA, China has at least four to eight new submarines.
The reason why the data gap is so large is that there are at least more than four new submarines captured so far, but it is currently impossible to determine.
Underwater, no sonar has captured a Chinese submarine. CIA's intelligence is indeed good, but with the above defenses strengthened in this area, being able to get this information is already considered a big deal. But if Obama knows,
In fact, what would China's reaction be like if there were only two of the latest 097-class attack nuclear submarines newly launched by China?
The 097-class attack nuclear submarine is the latest type of nuclear submarine. It is also the two attack nuclear submarines ordered by the Xingluo Group. After modification, the 097-class can be said to completely kill the nuclear submarines of any country in the world today, including the United States' Seawolf class.
Exception, it is not an opponent of the same level at all. Compared with surface ships, the exposure of submarines is too low. As long as you are careful, it is very easy not to be discovered within a few years, so the performance of the 097 class is very
powerful.
As for the other nuclear submarines discovered by CIA, they are actually all modified goods. After modifying the silencer tiles and the technology obtained from the Virginia class, the original 096, 095, 094 and the earliest 093 were modified. The modifications of these nuclear submarines
The progress starts from level 096 downwards, and the modifications are basically completed.
096 and 094 are ballistic missile nuclear submarines, also commonly known as strategic nuclear submarines, and 093 and 095 are attack nuclear submarines. They are the same as the Virginia class. Of course, there are still differences in technology, but now even the earliest 093 class is equipped with new
of anechoic tiles,
Then after improving the propellers, etc., the performance of the 093 has been improved by at least 30% compared to before, especially in terms of noise. The 093 and 093 have almost dropped to below 100 decibels, allowing the 093 class that was originally determined to be retired.
several years of combat capability.
The latest two 097-class submarines have not only made certain improvements in displacement. The maximum water displacement has been increased to 8,550 tons, and the underwater displacement has been 13,000 tons. This allows the 097-class attack nuclear submarines to have enough space to carry missiles and improve
The living environment of submariners is the most difficult. Sometimes a submarine voyage may take up to two or three months. Two or three months of underwater life is not something ordinary people can bear.
At the same time, the water limit speed of the 097 class was increased to 40 knots, while the underwater limit speed reached a speed of less than 53 knots. However, its crew members were reduced to 65 based on the 128 crew members of the 096 class.
The reduction does not mean that its combat effectiveness has declined. It is because its degree of automation has increased rapidly, resulting in it not needing as many crew members. In this way, each of its crew members has enough room to improve.
Life.
There is also the reduction of the nuclear reactor and the energy core propulsion system which is equivalent to the backup diesel propulsion system of other submarines, especially the reduction of the reactor, which gives it more space to accommodate ammunition and supplies. In addition, because of the number of crew members
Reduced so that Level 097 can accommodate 80 people normally and 100 Marines or members of special forces to perform secret infiltration missions at the maximum.
However, these two 097s are not the submarines that were shown to the Chairman when the Inner Mongolia was launched. Although that submarine was also delivered to the country, it was finally improved. The improved submarine is the current 097 class, and that submarine
This submarine also became the first of the 097 class, but because it was the first, it was given to Lin Hu in the end and is now in service in Madagascar. The remaining two 097s were modified after discussions with domestic experts.
That is now, Yang Yiwei has strengthened its capabilities. The first 097 has a maximum diving depth of 1,000 meters, and the current normal combat depth of the 097 is 1,000 meters, and the maximum diving depth is about 1,200 meters. This depth is suitable for
With super abnormal torpedoes and ultra-quiet decibels, the two of them are like ghosts in the deep sea, especially the two exclusive torpedoes named Hunters, which are simply the nemesis of any ship.
With a range of more than 40 kilometers, and a super abnormal speed of 250 knots in the last 10 kilometers, no ship can escape its attack. These two 097-class ships are all assigned to the East China Sea Fleet, and they are also part of the Inner Mongolia aircraft carrier.
group
, In fact, these two submarines are not near the Diaoyu Islands at all. One is cruising in the waters near Guam, and the other is cruising near Yokosuka, Japan. These two submarines have visited the U.S. fleet countless times.
The following is a "peeping".
It can be said that almost all American and Japanese submarines in the entire Pacific region have their voiceprint data recorded by these two 097-class ships. This data has been transmitted to other fleets and submarines. Once scanned by sonar, it will be
Using the voiceprint data, one can almost immediately determine which country these submarines belong to, and even know which submarine they are. Once a submarine's voiceprint data, whether in motion or at rest, is recorded by the enemy,
In fact, it is no different from a target.
In fact, the Virginia class of the United States has long been a target. Except for the three Seawolf class nuclear submarines that pose some threat to China, the others do not pose any threat at all. The Virginia class has almost been dismantled into parts. All
All the information is known. If the United States knows this, I am afraid that the United States will retire all Virginia-class aircraft within a year, or simply sell them.
Just like the F117 stealth attack aircraft back then, Obama did not know about this matter. Few people in China knew about this matter. No matter how awesome the CIA was, it was not awesome enough to get such confidential information. So in this
After the colonel put forward this opinion, Obama began to think deeply. After about a few minutes, Chris said: "Comrade colonel, I don't know if you have any other news to report?"
"No more." The two colonels stood at attention and said.
"Well, on behalf of the president, the U.S. government and the people, I would like to thank you. However, I still need to discuss with the military generals how to take action. If both gentlemen are fine, you can leave." Chris
After expressing his gratitude to the two of them, he said.
"Yes!" The two soldiers stood at attention, saluted with a military salute, then packed up their things and walked out quickly. They knew that their task was to analyze intelligence, and it was not up to them to decide what to do after analyzing the intelligence.
After the two colonels went out, Obama hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Chris, what do you think I should do?"
"You can send a submarine, or you can not send one. Forgive me to be honest." Chris hesitated for a moment and then said.
Obama nodded and said, "You say."
"President, your term is less than two years." Chris said what he wanted to say without thinking. Obama was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Chris meant. To put it bluntly, these things
Obama needs to consider whether he should take action as the next president. You must know that a conflict with China is not as simple as a conflict with countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
Once a conflict occurs, it may happen for several years, so you must be conservative when you can. At least you must allow yourself to complete your term perfectly. You can't make a mess for others to clean up during your term, right? And
As Obama's term comes to an end, not only does Obama have to consider these things, but Congress also has to consider them. Those members of Congress generally do not approve any major actions during the presidential handover.
After nodding thoughtfully, Obama spoke for a long time: "What do you think we should do if we send a submarine?"
"It's nothing to send a submarine. It's actually very simple. First of all, that place belongs to the high seas. Even if our submarine is discovered, at most it will be withdrawn. The Chinese government does not dare to take action against our submarine. The two sides are just arguing.
, But before the submarine withdraws, how much information can we get? The Xingluo Group's project there, currently we can only analyze it from the outside, but their progress cannot be seen from the outside at all. If the submarine passes by,
We can also investigate it." Chris thought for a moment and said.
In fact, it is not difficult to dispatch submarines. The U.S. fleet has even entered China's South China Sea countless times, because the territorial sea range is only 12 nautical miles around the country's territory. Beyond the territorial sea is the exclusive economic zone, but the exclusive economic zone does not
Equivalent to territorial waters, economic specialization
The area is still on the high seas, and anyone can sail on the high seas, including fleets from various countries. The U.S. aircraft carrier fleet has sailed countless times on the high seas in the South China Sea. Before, when China only had the Liaoning, during training, U.S. ships
I have wandered in front of him countless times.
So there is nothing wrong with sending a submarine. What’s more, although it is a so-called private sea area, private sea areas do not have territorial rights. This is stipulated in the United Nations Law of the Sea. Therefore, even if it is a private area, it does not matter if American submarines enter. (Unfinished)
