Chapter 39 Actively Prepare for War
. "How is it, Commander Teng is not bad, right?"
"What's good?" Mu Haoyang smiled and said, "I'm not qualified to evaluate the fleet commander, and I haven't known each other for a long time. Please remember ours."
"You will know from now on."
Mu Haoyang took out a cigarette and did not answer Zhou Yusheng's words.
"You have been in the military academy in the past few years and have not had much intuitive feelings about the changes in the army." Zhou Yusheng took the cigarette and took out a lighter. "In the past, I thought that if you win the war, you would become what you used to be. Apart from getting better treatment, you would not get many opportunities. Unexpectedly, Mr. Huang came back and carried out reforms, which made many people lose their jobs and allowed many people to use their skills. No matter what, the atmosphere of the army has changed, and ability determines everything."
"I'm very capable when I hear you?"
"That's right, at least he can be considered one of the few middle-aged generals in the fleet with foresight, otherwise he wouldn't have been valued by Mr. Huang."
Mu Haoyang smiled and said nothing.
"It's your turn later, you have to pay attention."
"What should I pay attention to?"
"Don't underestimate the commander's wisdom."
"Old Zhou, just say it clearly if you have something to do, don't play the puzzle."
Zhou Yu took two puffs of cigarettes and said, "You may not know that before you came back, Commander Teng also participated in the work of the Physical Experiment Center. Under his promotion, he decided that the three armed forces in the army, navy and air force would take turns to allocate scientific research funds, otherwise Lao Yang would not have gone to take charge of finance."
"this……"
"He basically knows what you are doing, so don't keep anything when introducing technical issues."
Mu Haoyang nodded thoughtfully. He really didn't know these things.
"I understand?" Zhou Yusheng smiled and said, "Just understand. Don't treat the commander as a fool anyway. Okay, go for lunch. In order, today is 'Sichuan Day', which is mainly Sichuan cuisine, which is exactly what we like. If you go late, all the good dishes will be snatched away by others."
The two returned to the restaurant and ordered two small stir-fries each.
The food on the battleship is different for seven days a week, and according to the taste of the main course, the officers and soldiers named it according to the cuisine, and there are also other names such as "Sichuan, Shanghai, Shandong, etc. It is just that the officers and soldiers on the battleship come from all over the country, and not all dishes have the same taste. Especially in the officers' restaurant, in order to take care of officers from all over the country, the chefs will make some side dishes of different flavors outside the main course.
It can be said that the Navy's food standards are the best.
Not to mention that the army is not as good as it is, many air force bases cannot compare.
Because the supply is more convenient, the food on the warship is very fresh, unlike on the submarines, when it comes to returning, there is only frozen food.
"Lao Zhou, you started to mention that those submarines are all improved types. What does it mean?"
"What else can it mean?" Zhou Yusheng developed a habit on the submarine and was very gentle when eating, while Mu Haoyang retained the habit of special forces, and he would eat voraciously no matter what he ate. "I said it was changed, but said it was not changed, but it was mainly because of the addition of electromagnetic weapons."
"Electromagnetic weapon?"
"You have seen it in North Korea. The difference is that it is more formal, but they are all mass-produced after being finalized, which is more reliable and more convenient to use."
"That's how it helps a lot?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Yusheng smiled and said, "You also know that if the 71st Special Mixed Fleet suddenly went south and left the battlefield, the First Land Fighter was about to fly away again. I'm afraid that the US military would lose not one aircraft carrier in the Sea of Japan, but four aircraft carriers!"
"So sure?"
"That's certainly something I'm not sure about, will I do?" Zhou Yusheng looked around and whispered, "I'm not afraid that you don't believe it. During the March exercise, one of our submarines paralyzed all surface warships with electromagnetic weapons, and sentenced the submarine to sink all surface warships."
"So awesome?"
"Of course, this is just an exercise, and it is assumed that the enemy does not have an electromagnetic confrontation system." Zhou Yusheng paused for a moment and said, "According to the intelligence provided by the Second Department, the US military has installed electromagnetic confrontation systems for major large surface warships, but the improvement is not thorough, especially aircraft carriers, and open hangars cannot block electromagnetic fields. We have also encountered this problem. It is difficult for aircraft carriers to survive in electromagnetic warfare, otherwise the self-built aircraft carriers will not be pushed back and started over. The most important thing is that Japan has not mastered electromagnetic confrontation technology and has not obtained electromagnetic confrontation equipment from the United States. If there is no problem with the intelligence, let alone the aviation army, we can kill the Japanese fleet."
"No matter what, the enemy should not be underestimated."
"We did not underestimate the enemy. After all, in addition to surface warships, Japan has more than a dozen submarines, and the submarines are not greatly affected by electromagnetic warfare, so I focused on anti-submarines. If Japan obtains electromagnetic weapons and decides to use them, whether it can eliminate the threat of Japanese submarines will determine how much we will pay."
Mu Haoyang nodded, indicating that he understood Zhou Yusheng's meaning.
In the afternoon, the transfer to the conference center and the pre-war meeting continued.
According to Teng Yaohui's arrangement, Mu Haoyang will first introduce the technical situation.
To put it bluntly, it is the time when the war begins.
With Zhou Yusheng's reminder, Mu Haoyang did not hide it, which emphasized that Qian Zhongtai's prediction time for the sunspot explosion was not very accurate. It can only be confirmed that in the twenty days after the twenty days, the sun's spot activity will increase significantly, affecting communications, and a major explosion will occur at a certain time, causing short-wave communications to be interrupted worldwide. Qian Zhongtai did not give a clear answer on some key issues, such as the specific burst time and the continuous impact of the sunspot explosion.
Obviously, this made the timing of war a difficult problem.
As the meeting was underway, the communications officer sent the latest news that the evacuation operation had been fully launched. On the afternoon of the 25th, the last group of Chinese citizens stranded in Japan would leave on a flight, and the work of evacuating the expatriates would last until the 28th. According to the instructions of the General Staff, only after that can we consider taking the initiative.
Huang Zhibo made it clear in his order: Unless Japan takes the initiative, war cannot be initiated before the early morning of the 29th.
Not provoking wars on their own initiative does not mean not actively preparing for wars.
The meeting continued, and the intelligence officer was responsible for introducing the deployment and mobilization of Japanese military forces.
At that time, it was confirmed that the first and second submersible groups of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Forces were in Tokyo Bay. The second submersible groups had arrived in Naha, the fourth submersible groups also appeared in the waters east of the Amami Islands, and the third submersible groups gathered in the southern waters of Shikoku Island. The first submersible group with eight submarines went out to sea and the whereabouts were unknown. From the time point of view, at least four submarines had entered the East China Sea, and the other four submarines also arrived near Okinawa Island.
In terms of air power, there have been more than 120 Japanese fighter jets stationed in Okinawa, including forty F-22a.
The situation is obvious. Japan's military assembly will be completed within two to three days. At that time, in addition to three guard groups and one diving team group, Japan can also use more than 200 combat aircraft.
Of course, it is not just Japan that is preparing for the war.
Thousands of kilometers away, the US Navy's USS Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group has arrived in Guam, the USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle groups have started from Pearl Harbor, and the USS Truman is rushing to Hawaii. The USS Bush and Eisenhower, drawn from the Atlantic Fleet, will pass through the Strait of Malacca in two days and are expected to enter the Philippine Sea around May 30.
If everything goes well, after June 5, the US military will assemble six aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific region.
However, the information is very clear that the possibility of the US military joining the war is very slim. In addition to political reasons, it is also related to the lack of comprehensive electromagnetic confrontation capabilities of US aircraft carriers.
If the aircraft carrier cannot function, the US military will not make much contribution to the East China Sea conflict.
All that needs to be worried is the only U.S. military attacking nuclear submarines with mysterious whereabouts.
As a confrontation measure, China has also made adjustments to its military deployment. The "Huangdi" will start from Dalian Port on May 25 and go to patrol the waters of the central Yellow Sea. According to Huang Zhibo's arrangement, the number of aviation troops entering the Northeast will double, and in the name of the volunteer army, it will send 150 additional combat aircraft to North Korea, posing a threat to Japan in the direction of the Sea of Japan and force Japan to retain enough air forces on its homeland.
Based on this information, it is not difficult to judge that the best time to start the war is before May 30th.
Further backwards, with the arrival of the US intervention force and Japan gradually completing pre-war preparations, China's military advantage will be significantly reduced.
Teng Yaohui did not leave the problem for the next meeting.
He first asked Zhou Yusheng to adjust the combat deployment of the submarine force and strengthen the blockade of several waterways entering the East China Sea in the direction of the Okinawa Islands. Then he asked Yang Yu's side to make adjustments to the combat deployment of the aviation force, focusing on the first set of combat plans, that is, cooperating with the fleet to fight.
Because of the sufficient time, the fleet can reach the battlefield in time, so Teng Yaohui obviously hopes that the fleet will become the main force.
There is nothing strange about this. The navy has dominated a large-scale war for the first time since the establishment of this country, and has used large warships for the first time.
If China wants to go global, it must have a strong enough navy.
Building a strong navy requires decades and huge capital investment, so it must be proven as soon as possible and eliminate internal obstacles on the development path.
Only a war, a war with the navy playing the protagonist, can prove the importance of the navy.
It can better prove that the navy is most suitable for safeguarding national interests.
After the meeting, everyone was busy.
Mu Haoyang is still responsible for technical work, but technology involves tactics, so he has to participate in combat planning throughout the process and determine the crucial tactical time point.
At this time, Okinawa Naha Port hundreds of kilometers away.
After two days of mooring in the port, ten large warships of the second guard group restarted their main power equipment and began to prepare for departure.
Not far away, the sunrise momentum at Kadena Air Force Base has exceeded 200 aircraft.
