Chapter 1487 Nikita, let’s give him strength (second update, please subscribe)
Moscow does not believe in tears.
We always believe in strength here!
Anyone who knows something about Russia is very clear - here they always believe in the supremacy of strength. As for rules, contracts, and friendship, they are just temporary options in the game.
Here, rules are meant to be broken, contracts are meant to be torn up, and friendship does not last forever.
But...when others tear up the contract, they will definitely be angry.
“How dare they, how dare they tear up the agreement between us!”
In the Kremlin, faced with the impact of air strikes on Jakarta and the beheading of Sugaruo, Heda Corn was furious , for a moment, he even wanted to fly to Chang'an and question him face to face - why did you break the agreement!
The so-called agreement was actually just a verbal "gentleman's agreement", that is, Chang'an promised not to invade Jakarta, and the Soviet Union promised not to station troops. Therefore, both sides have always maintained a delicate balance on this issue. This balance is that SEA provides weapons and intelligence support to the opposition, and sends mercenaries to help them train their troops. As for the Soviet Union, although it personally went to war in order to save the situation in Jakarta, it did so in an "advisory" manner rather than sending troops on a large scale.
In short, both parties reached a certain tacit understanding.
"Nikita, from the beginning, they were just playing games with us. They have never given up their ambitions for Jakarta. The verbal agreement a few years ago was just to accumulate power and strengthen the opposition."
There was unconcealable anger in Mikoyang's tone. After all, he was the one who made the oral agreement.
He just felt that his feelings were hurt.
“Now we must respond to their attacks with the strongest attitude, and we must show our friends in Jakarta that we are on their side.”
“Yes, Nikki Just speaking out in the United Nations has no deterrent effect. We need to send warships. The nuclear submarines and warships of the Red Navy are the backing for further negotiations!”
Faced with everyone's suggestions, Hedama fell into silence. Although he was angry, he also knew very well what the consequences would be for the Soviet Union if it fell into a conflict with SEA.
It will inevitably lead to the dispersion of strength, making it impossible to focus on the confrontation with the United States.
But if nothing is done, the reputation of the Soviet Union will inevitably be affected. How can those friends believe that the Soviet Union will protect them?
Not only that, even the inside cannot be explained!
Now?
What should I do?
In this way, Heda Corn, who was in a dilemma, after thinking for a long time, said:
“Yes, we must respond to them and send our warships to the Assab base. Send our nuclear submarines and our warships to Jakarta. We must use the most determined actions to show the world that we are not only capable of protecting our friends, and are determined to protect them!”
The Assab base is a Soviet naval base in Eritrea Province, Ethiopia. Although it is the only military base of the Soviet Union in the Indian Ocean, with this base, They have finally reached into the Indian Ocean, and this is the fundamental basis for their determination to fight - at least they do not need to send warships from more distant areas.
However, Hedama is undoubtedly wise. He did not choose to send warships from the Pacific region, because that would require crossing the territorial waters of SEA, which would inevitably lead to further deterioration of relations between the two parties. Therefore, the Indian Ocean became The only option.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Heda Corn said to Gromyko:
“In addition, we must tell them our attitude through diplomatic channels and let them understand our determination!”
In this way, on this day, Moscow chose to use its strength to engage in dialogue. On that day, Foreign Minister Gromyko had an urgent meeting with the SEA representative in Moscow and expressed After protesting against its so-called "anti-terrorism special military operation", he told the other party in an extremely serious tone:
"Now, in order to ensure the safety of Jakarta, we have decided to dispatch a fleet to the local area!"
Faced with such a threat, Liu Cunkai, the representative in Moscow, just said in a light tone:
"Mr. Minister, you should know that this will intensify all problems, and the actions we take are only aimed at promoting the "demilitarization" of Jakarta to ensure that we are protected from the threat of terrorist activities!"
"Demilitarization", this is external propaganda The stated combat purpose, as for how to demilitarize, is of course air strikes, destroying their aircraft, destroying their warships, destroying arsenals. In short, a Jakarta without military power is the best. Of course, that way Come, what awaits them will also be a comprehensive split.
"Mr. Representative, you know very well that everything you have suffered today is essentially caused by the hegemonic policies you pursue! Terrorist attacks are just the resistance of the weak against the hegemon!" No. Not to mention, in this era, everyone speaks based on which side of the butt they sit on.
Just when this emergency meeting broke up, in the Indian Ocean, the two attack nuclear submarines K-115 and K-133, which were performing missions, received a call from Moscow. After receiving the order, he immediately changed course and headed towards Jakarta.
Just as they adjusted their course and headed towards Jakarta, what they didn't know was that the Christmas Island underwater listening station thousands of kilometers away had already acquired their movements.
"Two nuclear submarines of unknown nationality are heading towards Area B."
The Christmas Island underwater listening station is a link in the "fishhook underwater defense line". As early as the Cuban missile Before the crisis, in response to the threat from Soviet nuclear submarines, the military proposed the development of an underwater monitoring system and an advanced low-frequency analysis system. Use this system to obtain early warning, then notify shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft to carry out anti-submarine operations, and then use nuclear submarines to track and control them, achieving long-distance blockade of Soviet submarines and reducing the possibility of retaliatory attacks by nuclear submarines on the mainland.
Due to the limited cable length and signal transmission distance in the early days of this system, equipment stations must be widely deployed in coastal areas. Therefore, its use was restricted. After entering the deployment stage, the military continued to improve the system's capabilities, mainly targeting the long-range detection and identification capabilities of submarines, and deployed it to the southern Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean waters. At the same time, we also developed and built ocean surveillance ships equipped with towed array sonar systems.
With the putting into use of new facilities such as optical cables, the military finally formed a "fishhook" shaped monitoring defense line from the northern Pacific Ocean in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south. Therefore, the movements of Soviet submarines were grasped immediately.
Soon, the electronic computer at the listening station identified the other party's identity based on the submarine's noise information.
“It’s the Soviet Type 627 nuclear attack submarine!”
In the basement of the Chang’an Military Building, after the Soviet submarine and its location were shown on the chart, the naval generals in front of the chart continued to discuss there With.
“If we intercept, it will definitely cause a diplomatic turmoil.”
“But if we do nothing, we will only make others ignore our existence.”

Chief of Naval Staff Lin Zhiyuan said directly:
"Send the Yinglong and Xianglong to play an undersea game with them. If possible... force them out of the water!"
The "Yinglong-class" is a new type of attack submarine that S.E.Navy just put into service last year. Compared with the "Jiaolong"-class, the Yinglong-class nuclear submarine is not only larger in tonnage, but also faster, and its ship design is also more reasonable.
But the most important thing is that it has very low noise. In addition to the redesigned transmission and the use of sound-absorbing tiles, it is also the first submarine in the world to use large side-inclined propeller blades, which is important. It is characterized by vibration and low noise.
However, not many people know that this propeller blade was designed by an engineer from Taiping Shipbuilding Industry Company based on information from a newspaper obtained on Hong Kong Island - that newspaper praised Guangzhou Culture Zhou Ting, a worker at Chong Shipyard, based on his experience, made the outline of the propeller blade into the style of Guan Gong's sword in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He vividly called it "Guan Gong's sword". Subsequently, the "Guandao paddle" was tested on some ships, which increased the ship's speed. What's even more surprising is that the vibration of the spiral was greatly weakened.
Although it was just an ordinary text news article, more of a left-wing newspaper reporting mainland news, after reading the report, the engineer returned to the institute and immediately started research in this area. Soon, with the help of computers, he designed A new type of large side-inclined propeller blade has been adopted, which greatly improves the speed and acoustic stealth performance.
As the most advanced attack submarines of S.E.Navy, the two submarines immediately left the base after receiving the order, passed through the Sunda Strait and entered the Indian Ocean that day.
At this time, the two Soviet attack nuclear submarines K-115 and K-133 had just sailed past Christmas Island. Gavrilovich, the captain of K115 and the commander of the formation, After the submarine entered the waters of Christmas Island, it ordered:
"Silent sailing!"
Christmas Island is located south of Java Island. Like the Cocos Islands, it was a British colony and belonged to the Straits Settlements. It was originally sold to Australia by the British before the independence of the Straits Settlements, but due to Li Nian's intervention , the Cocos Islands and Christmas Island remain part of the Straits Settlements.
After Singapore became independent, it was leased to Chang'an on a lease basis. Then a military base was set up on the island, which was also the most important part of the "Fishhook Project". This island stretches from the Pacific Ocean in the north to the Andaman Sea of India in the south. The Soviet Union was very clear about "underwater fish hooks".
That’s why Gavrilovich ordered a silent voyage to avoid exposing the target. However, what they didn’t know was that they had been given a warning by the underwater listening array more than ten hours ago. Found it.
In the listening station, a naval technician wearing headphones shouted:
"The Russian submarine reduces its speed, I am losing the signal."
"Order the anti-submarine aircraft to take off , strengthen monitoring.”
After that, the naval officer at the listening station said to himself:
"Those Russians have no idea at all. As soon as they go out, the sound will shake the entire Indian Ocean... All they need is to drop a few buoys Just fine."
Soon, an anti-submarine aircraft took off, and half an hour later, it dropped multiple anti-submarine buoys in the sea area where the Soviet submarine "missed". So Soviet submarines appeared on the charts again.
Gavrilovich and others knew nothing about this, so they just broke into a carefully arranged "hunting ground".
