When Suiyu 9528 collected its nets and returned home, Sweeney and Brad, the two de facto first and second leaders of the aircraft carrier strike group, on board the Malamute saw a shocking scene on the radar.
Countless fishing boats, large and small, gathered in the vast sea area ahead. These fishing boats were neatly arranged at a distance of about one kilometer, covering the sea areas on both sides of the international waterway as the center, and moved slowly at a very slow speed.
"Let the helicopter go over for reconnaissance, I want to know what happened there." Sweeney said coldly.
Brad said attentively, "This is definitely not a normal fishing operation. Who would fish near international waterways? Who would engage in such a large-scale collective fishing operation? Abnormal!"
"Obviously, this is the conspiracy of Ship 53," Sweeney said.
Brad wondered, "But Ship 53 did not mobilize on channel 16."
"Perhaps through other contact methods, is there any feedback from the electronic detection department?" Sweeney asked quickly.
The telecommunications director shook his head, "There is nothing unusual, except for the sudden increase in communication between fishing boats. We cannot decipher their plain language calls."
"Can't decipher plain language calls? How should I understand this sentence?" Sweeney frowned and looked at the communications director, very dissatisfied.
The communications director said with some grievance, "The language they used cannot be found in our language library. Our language analysts have never heard such language and have no way of knowing what they said, even though there are a large number of
Call signals can be analyzed."
…
Who would have known that the captains of the fishing boats communicating with each other in dialect turned out to be a super secret language that the enemy could not decipher.
This is not an accident, but during the militia training, in addition to basic training such as flag language, the local armed forces also organized confidential communication training, which included an indigenous method adapted to local conditions - the use of dialects. There are thousands of Chinese dialects, and Cantonese alone
There are hundreds of dialects in the three provinces of Qionggui, which are natural and excellent resources for confidential communication.
It is difficult to use the troops, but for fishermen who are accustomed to staying in groups, it is simple and normal to communicate in the dialect they are familiar with.
In the command and information center on board the Discomfort, those top Harvard students in charge of electronic detection and analysis stared at the complicated call signals and could not analyze anything except that they knew that unusually frequent communications were going on there...
"Can it be confirmed that it is related to the No. 53 ship?" Sweeney asked.
The communications director shook his head, "Ship No. 53 called Guoqiongyu 588 on channel 16. It is a thousand-ton ocean-going fishing vessel. After judgment, it was a routine call. Sir, you know that when the Chinese Navy is sailing, it usually
We will ask nearby national ships if they need help."
Brad said, "Are you still sure?"
He shrugged, meaning that this was not an issue that needed to be discussed - who could be responsible if it wasn't Ship 53?
Brad continued, "The problem now is that our route is blocked by fishing boats. Johnny, you have to think carefully about what to do."
The command is in the hands of Sweeney, while Brad only has the command of the USS Malaise. Of course, according to the order of succession, he is ranked high. As far as the current situation is concerned, once Sweeney loses the ability to command, Brad
Germany is the first successor to the commander.
Sweeney fell into deep thought, and what was before him was definitely a huge problem.
In the dark night, the navigation lights on the fishing boat masts are spread on the sea, just like a dragon fruit orchard at night, and it seems that the sea is covered with a light canopy, which is spectacular.
The navigation of merchant ships on international waterways will not be affected. In fact, the aircraft carrier strike group of the USS Misfit also has a position to pass through, provided that the formation is changed from a battle formation to a column.
The problem is that Sweeney can't do this because doing so would mean admitting defeat.
However, besides keeping the battle formation and turning around, Sweeney has no better choice. Unless he wants to fight against it. If there are dozens of fishing boats, he will do this, but in front of him are hundreds of fishing boats.
, there is a vast ocean of people, a forbidden area that he dare not touch.
The dilemma is Sweeney's current situation.
Brad obviously saw it, and he put forward his own suggestion, saying, "Turn around and we can speed up and catch up the time."
"This is a sign of surrender," Sweeney said seriously.
Brad said, "Today is no longer 20 years ago. From the Arctic Ocean to Antarctica, from the Western Pacific to the Caribbean Sea, from the Sea of Japan to the Java Sea, can we still have the absolute advantage we had before? No longer.
"
He took a fax out of his pocket and handed it to Sweeney.
Sweeney took a look and saw that it was an old fax from a few months ago. The content was simple. It was an internal enemy report. An advanced destroyer with hull number 162 appeared on the east coast of the Pacific. It almost walked along the east coast.
One lap. This incident caused a great stir internally at the time.
In their view, the entire Eastern Pacific Ocean is similar to their inland sea. Since the end of the Cold War, no warship from any country has dared to appear in the Eastern Pacific Ocean without their consent.
A "Jieliuzi" destroyer with a hull number of 162 made them realize that they were no longer the only one in the Eastern Pacific. It was in response to the saying "I can go where the enemy can go"!
That "Jieliuzi" destroyer is not an ordinary destroyer, but represents the most technologically advanced and most powerful general-purpose destroyer in the world today, with advanced performance and comprehensive functions.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone felt disgusted to have such an advanced destroyer hanging around in front of their house, but there was nothing they could do about it. Because there were dozens of the same or even more advanced destroyers, and the shipyards were still queuing up to make dumplings to make bigger ones.
More advanced destroyers are also building aircraft carriers at a rapid pace!
Brad's meaning is very clear, now it's impossible not to give in!
The large fleet of fishing boats in front are working together there. It is no longer possible to charge hard, we can only go around!
"well……"
Sweeney let out a long sigh, showing his desolation, and reluctantly ordered, "Turn into a tactical column and bypass the fishing fleet working collectively in front."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and immediately implemented the order.
At this time, fishing boat Suiyu 9528 was returning to the Strait of Malacca. Captain Zhang Jiahao and his crew learned more and more information from other fishing boats and learned that they were going to participate in collective fishing operations to occupy a sea area. Through this
In order to assist the navy in stopping an ill-intentioned combat formation, they regretted not participating.
Such big operations do not happen all the time, especially in the northern Indian Ocean, which is far away from the motherland. For Zhang Jiahao and others, being able to participate in such a big operation is a very important qualification, and it is a full expression of patriotism.
.Compared with these, the extra ten days and a half of labor and the loss of tens of thousands of yuan in gas money are nothing at all.
There is no point in turning around and going back to participate now.
However, Zhang Jiahao didn't know that a few hours later, due to a combination of circumstances, they would become the protagonists of this secret confrontation, affecting the balance of victory and defeat... ()
