Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 785 Hunting Submarines

The relationship between Xinming and the American Empire is bad. Although there is no continuous large-scale fighting like the Le Lang War, the confrontation and conflict between them has actually spread to every corner of the entire East Asia and the Pan-Pacific region.

The Northeast Asian peninsula often went off without a fight, but there was no more war; Jiaozhi and Champa in the Indochina Peninsula had become a form of proxy war; pretender...

Ming and the United States are constantly quarreling, and the United States is also trying its best to add obstacles to Xinming, including the most important thing, blocking Xinming’s trade with the outside world. They can’t control it on land, but as long as they pass through the ocean, the powerful The Royal American Navy is about to intercept it.

It's just that the American side didn't know that Xinming had already been carrying out a very large-scale trade with great fanfare, and that was the "cross-plane transaction" organized by Bai Mingxiu.Ming on the two planes is taking what they need, and Xin Ming has already identified his own position, and produces some products with relatively high profits in the Ming Empire on the plane where the sun never sets, in exchange for the accumulation of original capital.

After all, the level of development of the two Great Mings is very different. The Ming Empire's oil and water flowing out of the fingers is already a great accumulation of primitive capital for Xinming.

In fact, even though the Royal Navy of the United States blocked it, there are still some smuggling trades along the coast of Xinming, and it is none other than the allies of the United States, such as Japan, the Philippines, and even the Royal Navy of the United States and the Security Bureau. Departmental interests are also secretly supporting and operating the smuggling business themselves.Some of these smuggling businesses are contraband, and the Security Bureau is not worried about poisoning the people of the country or creating violent disputes, as long as it makes money.

The Royal Navy of the United States controls the waters of the Western Pacific Ocean, and pulls the Coast Guard, the Japanese Coast Guard and other forces to jointly "enforce law" and crack down on any financing of Xinming trade that is not their own money.

The Royal Navy of the United States also conducts exercises within the first island chain from time to time, and there are even countless ships and aircrafts approaching for reconnaissance.Only in the recent period of time, the pressure on the Royal Navy of the United States has increased suddenly, because they have encountered enemies that make them very difficult to deal with.

Lieutenant Colonel Pratt watched with a grim expression as the crew on his ship struggled to rescue the sailors of the Royal American Navy who had sunk and fell into the water, and his heart was very heavy.

"This is already the third destroyer this month..."

The CEO's expression was also extremely nervous: "It is basically certain that it is a submarine that attacked us in this sea area. In fact, we are still not sure whether it is one or more submarines, but from the usual background, we can The only enemy who suddenly came out to attack our submarines was the Shinmyung Navy.”

Pratt was directly sunk by the Lion battleship that Bai Mingxiu suddenly brought out, so he had a very strong shadow.However, because of his deep qualifications and rich experience, he continued to be appointed as the captain.And this time the ship he commanded has become a cruiser equipped with radar and missiles.

"Originally, the destroyer should take advantage of the submarine, but our destroyer failed to find the submarine of the Xinming Navy, and was easily sunk by them. This kind of thing makes people feel shuddering no matter how you think about it."

There is only one explanation, and that is that the Xinming submarine suddenly possessed unparalleled silence, making it impossible for the destroyers of the Royal Navy of the United States with excellent anti-submarine capabilities to perform missions in this area, and they were directly sunk by the submarine.

The executive said: "It should be that this sea area has been turned into a hunting zone for their underwater fleet by the Xinming Navy. Their submarines are guarding here. Once our ships pass by, they will become prey."

"Don't their submarines need to come up to take a breath? The batteries have to be recharged. You can't tell me that their submarines are nuclear submarines." Pratt felt a little incomplete when he said this sentence, after all Xinming even has [-] to [-] tons of super battleships.And for such a long time, no matter how much they scouted and searched, they couldn't find such a large target in any port. It was as if the battleship had disappeared.So if Xinming suddenly appeared, nuclear submarines, such as the American Empire, can be regarded as the most cutting-edge technological weapons, but it is actually not something that is completely incomprehensible.

In fact, what is active in this water area is not an exaggerated thing like a nuclear submarine at all, but a submarine equipped with the first-generation AIP device Stirling engine. The AIP system does not depend on the air propulsion device. There are many technical routes, and the Stirling engine is one of them.In the base plane, Sweden developed AIP submarines with Stirling engines in the 80s, but in the plane where the sun never sets, AIP submarines are not very popular, and most of them are attack nuclear submarines with a small tonnage.It’s just that the technical development of the AIP system is very mature, and Bai Mingxiu simply bought some old and obsolete equipment from the plane where the sun never sets, and brought them to Xinming. After the No. [-] system updated his skill tree, it also provided Exchange for Stirling-engined submarines.

The tonnage of these submarines is not large, only more than 1000 tons, and they can only be regarded as submarines for offshore operations, with obvious advantages and disadvantages.One thing is that the noise is low and the level of concealment is high. As long as it is hidden underwater, it is difficult to be detected by the current anti-submarine means of the US military. There are also disadvantages, that is, the speed is relatively slow.

Bai Mingxiu and Xinming have long stopped considering reopening maritime trade through sea control. After all, even with sea control, the American Empire still has a great influence on other countries, and it is impossible to let Xinming's products in so easily.Besides, Bai Mingxiu has cross-dimensional transactions, so he is not too worried about this part.

Sending submarines to operate in the coastal waters is simply to consume some troops of the Royal American Navy.Both sides are in a silent war, each doing everything they can to make trouble for the other.Although Bai Mingxiu wasted a lot of Goldfinger coins, it was meaningful to keep bleeding the American army.After all, it is impossible for the U.S. military to build warships or other military equipment without a construction cycle like its own. Continuous losses will also allow the U.S. to recognize exactly what kind of existence the opponent is, and squeeze their strategic space outward.

It's just that the US Navy has been across the ocean for more than 100 years, and it has never been afraid of anyone. It was beaten by a mysterious battleship before and lost its temper. It took a long time to find it, and it was very aggrieved.Now that there are targets, the Royal Navy of the United States immediately dispatched a large number of ships and troops to gather in the Western Pacific, preparing to destroy several Ming army submarines to calm down.
