w "Fill water into the ballast tank behind." Ye Ruofu ordered: "Empty the sea water of the ballast tank before it."

To get out of this predicament, Ye Ruofu thought of a way, which is to first let the propeller behind return to the sea water. Then, the propeller reverses at full speed and pulls the hull out!

The only way to get the person behind back to the sea water is to use the simplest lever principle and use the reef below as the fulcrum to make the weight behind larger and the torque increase, and pry the back off!

"Captain, can our hull withstand such a big change?" the deputy captain asked with some concern.

Now, the stress-bearing part under the boat is mainly at the location where the reef is located. The front half is long, so the weight of the boat is large and compressed into the sea water. The second half is light and pried up. Now, the weight behind is increased, so it is easy to break the hull!

If the submarine is broken into two parts here, it will be completely troublesome.

However, looking at the captain in front of him, it seemed to be determined to be alone. In the submarine, the captain's words are absolutely authoritative. Unless it is discovered that the captain has committed treason, other people can take necessary countermeasures, such as imprisoning the captain and taking over the command. Now it is obviously impossible to meet this condition.

"Empty the ballast water tank before draining, and fill the ballast water tank at the rear." The order was transmitted to the turbine room, and the crew in the turbine room began to operate with caution.

With the sound of compressed air, the water in the ballast tank in front was pushed out of the hull, and water was started to be injected into the ballast tank behind.

All the submarine soldiers dared not speak loudly, with their ears listening to the movement of the hull. If the submarine could not withstand such barbaric operations, then the first thing they heard would be the sound of the steel plate breaking.

As they operated, they felt that the hull seemed to be trembling slowly. It was trembling slowly, and they felt that the floor that was originally leaning forward under their feet seemed to be turning backwards. They knew that the hull was about to start moving, which was also the most dangerous time.

"Let all the crew members in front go to the tail of the boat behind." Ye Ruofu gave another order.

He thought that the ballast tank was filled with sea water and the force was not strong enough, so he asked the personnel above to go to the back to increase the torque behind.

In conventional submarines, this kind of action is often present. When an emergency dive is required, all crew members will run to the bow, increase the sinking of the bow, and when an emergency floats, they will all gather at the tail.

However, now their submarine is a submarine with a displacement of 18,000 tons, and the gravity of several crew members is almost negligible.

Ye Ruofu was fantasizing that these crew members were the last straws that broke the camel's back. He hoped that the rear hull could fall off smoothly.

Sure enough, the floor under my feet began to turn slowly, slowly.

Suddenly, they felt a huge sound coming from their feet. They no longer turned back, but sank for a while!

"Stop moving and leave the cabin to observe." Ye Ruofu said, his expression was also a little depressed at this time.

The crew had already guessed what happened. Although the boat turned a little, it was also deeply stuck into the reef, which was even more powerful than before!

In fact, without going into the water to observe, the sailors on the command tower could already feel it, because the surrounding sea surface has risen again, and the diver who just left the cabin had to climb up the command tower. Now, the sea surface outside is only more than one meter high from the top of the command tower.

When the divers who went into the water to observe came up again, his face turned pale and as expected, he got stuck more!

"Report, the military region contacts us and ask us to report the current situation." At this time, the communication soldier said to Ye Ruofu.

After Marshal Gorshkov learned that there was a grounded nuclear submarine in the Persian Gulf waters, he attached great importance to it and immediately ordered the military region to contact the K-132 submarine, and at the same time ordered a special accident investigation and handling team to fly to Iraq to prepare for the handling of the incident.

Until now, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union made any statements to the outside world, but this incident has spread internationally.

After all, on the busy Persian Gulf waterway, the two crew members who appeared in the ocean sailing were so shocking. They floated on the sea all year round and had no fun at all. They only saw the military nuclear submarines on TV, and rarely saw them on the sea. This time, there were two at first sight. One of them had no power, and the other had its butt facing the sky, and the propellers were exposed. Propellers of that shape were even rare, so they were very excited. Then, there were reporters who arrived, in addition to renting speedboats, and even more, renting helicopters, hoping to take some wonderful pictures from afar. This hot land in the Middle East has never lacked such shocking news.

Ye Ruofu was so angry that after he went back, he probably wouldn't even have a job to find a job in an easy position. As long as he was not investigated by his superiors, it would be good to be dismissed. Through the communications satellite, he began to report the situation here to the base.

………

Iraq has expressed its hope to purchase several long-range early warning radars and cross e-2 early warning aircraft from the United States. At the same time, Iraq will provide rescue work for this American submarine. With a great and selfless heart, it will no longer hold American submarines accountable for entering the Persian Gulf. In addition, it will provide the 30,000-ton dock of the shipyard for use by the United States to check the damage to the Los Angeles-class submarine.

This demand from Iraq has made the United States feel very embarrassed.

On the one hand, the United States does need the help of Iraq. It is indeed a very troublesome process to drive dry dock transport ships from the local area, and it is difficult for them to accept the time and expense. The submarine has been floating there like this, which is also a manifestation of the incompetence of the US Navy.

However, Iraq wants to purchase the US e-2 early warning aircraft, which is obviously contrary to the existing decisions of the United States. Although the performance of the e-2 early warning aircraft is far from the e-3, it is a carrier-based early warning aircraft of the main force of the US Navy. Selling such early warning aircraft to Iraq will seriously damage the interests of the United States.

However, Iraq has mastered the technology of early warning aircraft. Four series of early warning aircraft have shown good performance in previous wars. Britain did not develop this early warning aircraft and sold it to Iraq. Instead, after obtaining this early warning aircraft, it continued to experiment and improve, especially reducing the unrealistic requirements of the British side. The technical requirements are lower than the e-3. However, this early warning aircraft is a much larger aircraft than the e-2. Therefore, the United States speculates that the performance of this early warning aircraft is not lower than that of the e-2.

In this case, exporting it to Iraq is not considered to help Iraq's military and technological progress, after all, they already have similar early warning aircraft.

Moreover, Iraq has begun the development of a new generation of early warning aircraft, mainly investing in Sweden's Saber Company to cooperate in the development of early warning aircraft with phased array system. Although it will take several years to make a technological breakthrough, Iraq's early warning aircraft technology has begun to mature.

So now, Iraq is just a temporary purchase of emergency. The issue they raised over Iran is indeed reasonable. Most of the underworld are mountainous areas, so early warning aircraft are more critical, while Iraq only has a few early warning aircraft and cannot be protected all-weather.

We cannot use strong Iraq, and we are now looking for Iraq. However, we cannot allow Iraq's military strength to continue to be strong and we cannot reveal the US military technology. This is a very difficult choice to balance.

Finally, they made a decision to export the e-2 early warning aircraft to Iraq. However, it is not the newly-made e-2c early warning aircraft in the United States, but the improved e-2b early warning aircraft.

In order to cope with the constant threats, the Navy has been improving its own carrier-based early warning aircraft, namely the e-2a early warning aircraft. It was originally used in the Vietnam War and had many technical defects. Therefore, based on the e-2a, the e-2b early warning aircraft was improved. In 1971, all 84 e-2b early warning aircraft were equipped with the navy.

However, the performance of this early warning aircraft is not recognized by the US Navy. Therefore, when the early warning aircraft was improved in 1971, the e-2c was also developed. The e-2c became the most classic carrier-based early warning aircraft model in later generations, and has been in service and has been exported to many countries.

The e-2c used at this stage mainly uses the improved an/aps-138 radar, including a new fully launched aperture control antenna to reduce side lobes and deal with increasingly serious interference threats. It can detect air targets anywhere within the 12.5 million cubic kilometers of surveillance envelope, monitor maritime traffic conditions, and also detect cruise missiles 270 kilometers away.

Now, the US Navy is gradually converting the e-2b it uses into e-2c, and is still in new production. Therefore, since Iraq needs it, it is better to sell these early warning aircraft that have been accepted by Grumman to receive modifications to Iraq. This is also a sign of friendship between the two sides.

The process was very fast. When Brightman met Taha again and told him that the United States now has a batch of ready-made e-2 early warning aircraft that can be sold to Iraq, and that each aircraft is only charged 100 million US dollars, it is almost dark.

Taha was satisfied with the United States' rapid decision, but was very dissatisfied with the unit price of early warning aircraft, because these were all American stocks and were not worth that high price. If so, Iraq would charge them $100 million in shipyard usage fees and $100 million in environmental pollution fees.

After another negotiation between the two sides, Iraq finally imported six e-2 early warning aircraft at a fee of 90 million US dollars per aircraft. Both sides were quite satisfied with this contract. At the same time, Iraq's activity to rescue American submarines also began. Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
