USSR 1991

The captain of the Red Ukraine replied more simply, "China is an ally of the Soviet Union, and our Soviet fleet will never allow our allies to be threatened by the enemy. If the Americans insist on interfering with it, then don't blame it." Soviet anti-ship missiles and artillery aimed at your command posts."

The reply of the Red Ukraine is already obvious, and the Soviet Union has already taken care of this matter.We don't mind another Arabian Sea conflict if you Americans want to cause trouble in this waters.

"In 1987, we used the Su-27 to teach Western countries a hard lesson in the Barents Sea. In 1992, our nuclear submarine slammed into an American ship in the Arctic Ocean once, and we won a big victory. And today , we don’t mind another armed conflict with American cruisers in the Arabian Gulf. The Soviets will never back down, and they will never lose!”

After the captain of the Red Ukraine finished speaking, he ordered the ship to advance at full speed, increase the speed to the highest speed, and rushed towards the American cruiser Ticonderoga.From the perspective of the sailors on the Ticonderoga cruiser, it looked like a giant steel bear was coming towards him desperately.

Moreover, following the principle of the opponent firing first and then fighting back, the cruiser Ticonderoga couldn't do anything at this time, and Captain Nestor was also considering the pros and cons of colliding with the Soviet ship. Should he fight the Soviet ship desperately?

The Soviet Union seems to have been determined to fight the Ticonderoga cruiser, but in fact they also bet in their hearts that the Americans will eventually lose. After all, a hard-to-hard collision with the Soviet ship is really Is not very cost-effective.

The captains of the Saudi patrol ship and the frigate were a little dumbfounded by the old Maozi's crazy approach. Except for the Soviet Union, there is no country in the world that dares to play such a showdown.

If it weren't for the urging of the Americans, the officers of the two ships might not have recovered in the end.The United States gave these two allies an almost suicidal mission to stop the Soviet ships and buy precious time for the Americans to counterattack.

Although Saudi Arabia was cursing the United States in its heart, the order from the American father had to be carried out. Two poor ships with a combined displacement of less than one-third of the Red Ukraine rushed up, as uncomfortable as moths to a flame. within our means.

However, they apparently forgot that the modern-class destroyer Tempest, which has not been in action around the Red Ukraine, has a displacement of nearly 8000 tons and is loaded with a large number of anti-ship weapons, cannons and anti-aircraft missiles. The Tempest is like a mobile munition library.No wonder the Hyundai class is known as the most powerful anti-ship and air defense destroyer of the Soviet Navy in the 80s.

However, at this time, the Tempest did not use anti-ship weapons to deal with the two poor Saudi ships, but directly fell in love with the rough way the Slavic nation is best at, and rushed to meet them.

Everyone on the Yinhe ran to the deck to watch the crazy behavior of the Soviet ship. They were shocked by this behavior of defending the dignity of the motherland with their lives.It's just that they don't know at this time that a Chinese pilot will use the same method to defend the dignity of a country in the South China Sea eight years later.

"Another ship from the Soviet Union is coming towards us, hurry up and avoid them with full left rudder." The captain of the Badr-class frigate anxiously ordered.He also has several wives and dozens of children, and now he doesn't want to go to heaven to claim those 72 virgins.

Sure enough, in the face of the Soviet Union's fierce attack, the two Saudi ships took the lead in admitting cowardice, and they turned around to avoid the edge of the Soviet Storm.They passed by the Tempest, and the sailors could even see the Tempest pointing at its muzzle.The expressions of the Soviet sailors regarded death as home, as if at this moment they were going to die with the Saudi crew.

"Crazy, these people are really crazy, it's terrible." Looking at the figure of death passing by him, the Saudi captain still had lingering fears, and he ordered the ship to slow down and wait and see what happened.At this time, he didn't know how to support the American Ticonderoga cruiser. In front of the crazy Ivans, they even lost the courage and determination to fight.

Seeing the actions of the Saudi fleet, Nestor yelled, "I knew these Middle Easterners were unreliable, and they dared to abandon us, bastard! There will be times when they will look good!"

The first mate looked a little anxious, and his back was soaked in cold sweat, he reminded, "Captain Nestor, the Red Ukraine is approaching our ship, and it will directly collide with them in a few tens of seconds! "

"Give up direct conflict with them, dodge, dodge decisively!" Captain Nestor forced himself to calm down, facing a crazy captain, only calm and calm can guarantee his comfort to the greatest extent.

"Should we launch anti-ship missiles?" The first officer made a dire suggestion, enough to trigger a US-Soviet conflict.Nestor immediately rejected this suggestion. He looked through the glass at the Ukrainian ship that broke through the huge waves and said helplessly, "No, absolutely not. We just need to avoid the sharp edge of the Soviet ships and give up this idea. I will explain the incident to my superiors afterwards."

Seeing that the crowd hadn't recovered from their astonishment, Nestor yelled at them, "What are you still doing, hurry up and follow my orders! Hurry up! These Soviets are bastards, don't you want to do it again?" Crazy together? Forget about that Chinese cargo ship, let’s save our ships first.”

Through the glass, they could already clearly see the red star mark on the mast of the Red Ukraine. The Ticonderoga cruiser chose to evade at the last moment. The bow of the Red Ukraine even touched the hull of the Ticonderoga cruiser. The sharp bow rubbed against the hull, and a series of shocking sparks flickered.Even the people in the command room were swaying left and right and couldn't stand their ground.

However, the close contact between the two warships soon ended.The evasion of the cruiser Ticonderoga prevented the Red Ukraine from completing this historic feat.But the Ticonderoga cruiser was almost scrapped in the Arabian Sea.This conflict lasted less than 10 minutes, but it made the U.S. Navy feel as if it had passed a century.

Just as Captain Nestor breathed a sigh of relief, he found that the Red Ukraine had turned its bow again, preparing for another suicide ram attack.

"They are really a bunch of lunatics. Let's evacuate and return to the headquarters immediately." Captain Nestor told the crew to return immediately, and at the same time called their superiors to report the situation in the Arabian Sea. They claimed that they were attacked by the Soviet fleet in the Arabian Sea and requested support.

Seeing the three ships disappearing into the distance, the crew on the Red Ukraine began to cheer. This is a great victory for the Soviet fleet in the Middle East waters, and it is also equivalent to telling other countries in disguise that in the Middle East Countries long oppressed by the United States, your powerful ally is back.

After being absent for decades, the powerful Soviet has once again returned to the political situation in the Middle East. It wants to let the United States know that you are not the only one who has the final say on this world!

Chapter 235 The Elegy of the Arabian Sea

Even Yanayev had some doubts about whether he had activated the hell-level dungeon "Raging Sea". The country that tried to challenge this dungeon in the Pacific Ocean was still breathless under the security treaty of the Americans.What's more, the immature Soviet fleet challenged the authority of the Americans in the Arabian Sea. This is not something other countries dare to do. It requires the courage of moths to the flame and the wisdom different from ordinary people to accomplish this.

However, the Soviet Union did not take crazy offensives. It was the last resort for the Soviet Union to collide with the opponent's ships. Once it chose to use anti-ship weapons, the Soviet Union would either give in and lose face to the world, or choose to open the doomsday dungeon. A superpower disappears under the blows of nuclear war.

"General Secretary Yanayev, our ship has completed the task excellently." Minister of Defense Yazov came to Yanayev's office and reported the great news to him.

"The Red Ukraine and the Tempest successfully pushed back the American fleet, and prepared to escort the Chinese Yinhe through the Strait of Hormuz. This time, the Americans were not well prepared for intelligence in the Arabian Sea. It can be said that they lost face. " Yazov said triumphantly.

Before long, the contest between the U.S. and Soviet navies in the Arabian Sea will spread to all countries through the news, and people all over the world will see that the U.S. has lost a mess in front of the heroic Soviet fleet and returned home in a disastrous defeat.Even the crew recorded the scene of the U.S. fleet fleeing in a panic, as first-hand information of major news.

"Hmm..." Yanayev didn't act as excited as Yazov, because he was thinking about another thing at this time.

"General Secretary, look..." Seeing the general secretary's flat reaction, Yazov was a little uncertain about what Yanayev was thinking, so he had to ask tentatively.

Yanayev was relieved, he glanced at Yazov, and said with a little regret, "I'm sorry, Comrade Yazov. I was thinking about other things just now. I was thinking that the Americans might not be so fast. Just give up the pursuit, and even cause a bigger conflict in the Arabian Sea, yes, a conflict between the US and Soviet navies."

"Now our Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier is docked in the Arabian Sea, and there are some cruisers and destroyers. The combat effectiveness is barely equal to that of the American aircraft carrier fleet. Of course, I mean that the Americans will If we take the lead in adopting a saturated offensive strategy, I think we still have a chance to come back."

"However, it is a pity that this is not a military conflict, but an incident in which two major powers use the Yinhe to engage in political games. Therefore, unless we adopt interception means, we will not be able to stop the Americans from seizing the Chinese ship. If faced with Do we still have a chance of winning against the US aircraft carrier formation dispatched by the entire army?"

"In fact, General Secretary Yanayev, we don't actually need to take a saturated attack." Minister of Defense Yazov replied, "We don't want to win this incident, but we just want to let the countries in the Middle East realize There is still the existence of the Soviet Union in the Middle East. So as long as it can draw a beautiful tie with the Americans in the Arabian Sea, what level of Soviet influence can it achieve in the Middle East? It may be worse than dropping a nuclear bomb. Works."

This time, the Soviet Union deliberately used the incident of the United States to blackmail China to enhance its international influence in the Middle East.

"Then there will be a wonderful confrontation in the Arabian Sea, a large-scale confrontation between the Soviet fleet and the American fleet." Yanayev nodded thoughtfully.

The commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, who was still chatting and laughing with Arab politicians, immediately lost his composure after receiving the report from Nistor.And his performance was exactly the same as that of Nestor back then.

"What, you said that the Soviet ships suddenly appeared in the Arabian Gulf region. Aren't they resting in Mumbai, India? Why did they appear there, and it was just when we were about to stop the Chinese ships." Commander-in-Chief of the Navy His face was extremely pale.This event that was originally thought to be a sure thing, unexpectedly appeared such a spoiler.Is there any shady political deal between the Soviet Union and China behind the scenes?

"Get me through Washington right away, fast." The commander-in-chief of the navy said anxiously.

The commander-in-chief of the Navy had to temporarily suspend the meeting with the dignitaries and dialed the office number of the Minister of Defense Aspin. After hearing the news, Aspin, who was in the meeting, immediately terminated the meeting. He was concerned about the Chinese cargo ship. Paying attention to the Soviet Union is far greater than meddling in.When he heard that the Chinese cargo ship finally left under the protection of the Soviet Union, Minister of Defense Aspin couldn't hold his face completely.

"If the Chinese cargo ship is in our hands, then everything can be saved. But damn, why didn't you bastards stop the Chinese cargo ship. Then how do we reply to the President. Tell him that because the Soviets suddenly Why did we give up and continue to intercept? Hell, you are really thrown into the face of the U.S. Navy! A bunch of trash.” Aspin became more and more angry. He had given an order in front of the president before, and he would definitely be here. In this incident, China was severely slapped across the face.In the end, I didn't expect that not only the conspiracy failed, but also was slapped in the face by the Soviets once.

"There is still a chance to make amends. Immediately dispatch the main force of the U.S. Fifth Fleet to chase after the Chinese cargo ship protected by the Soviet Union. We don't mind how this will affect the Arabian Sea. Remember, this operation is very critical. We must not allow the dignity of the U.S. Navy to be severely trampled on. Even if an aircraft carrier battle group is dispatched, we will not hesitate."

The commander-in-chief of the Navy took a deep breath, dispatching an aircraft carrier battle group for a cargo ship, the price for the United States to maintain its self-esteem is a bit high and terrible.

"Do you really want to do this, Minister of Defense, are we going to fight the Soviet navy to the end?" To be honest, the aircraft carrier battle group in the Middle East is not ready for an armed conflict with the Soviet Union.

Aspin doesn't care about the process, he just needs to see the final result, a result that can satisfy the President of the United States.He doesn't care what the price is for American dignity.What's more, he also believes that the naval strength of the Soviets is far inferior to that of the United States.

"You have failed once, and now you have the opportunity to make up for it. Also, if I continue to see the poor performance of the US fleet in the Arabian Sea, then don't blame me for not reminding you that there will be a major change in the Navy's top management. .”

Secretary of Defense Aspin emphasized, "Remember, only success is allowed, not failure!"

Chapter 236 The Replica of the Scalpel Incident

The USS Enterprise battle group deployed in the Middle East began to leave the port, ready for action. The US Navy Command in Bahrain has never been as busy as it is today. Everyone has entered a state of combat readiness. Those who didn't know thought it was a war During the exercise, the insiders couldn't laugh because they knew that they would face the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet in the Middle East next.

Moreover, the naval troops who went to support were a little terrified after seeing the shocking scratches on the Ticonderoga cruiser. A two-meter-long opening was torn on the white ship, as if someone had scratched it with a pencil. of a blank sheet of paper.

At that time, as long as the impact was more intense, those crew members might have been fed to sharks in the Arabian Sea.It is said that some sailors' legs were still shaking when they disembarked. At the moment when the opponent's red Ukraine was about to hit the ship, everyone thought they were dead.

"You must be careful. Those Soviets are out-and-out lunatics. Don't try to confront them head-on. You are not the opponents of the Soviets. They never thought of going back. If they rush towards you, hurry up Run away." Those American sailors who returned from international waters said to the next group of people, this is the most practical advice they can give.

A fleet of crazy red lunatics awaits all Americans, rubbing their hands and preparing to leap.Lay another layer of American corpses on your way to promotion.Compared with the brainless long live charge of the Japanese army, the collision tactics of the Soviet army are more heroic and decisive in safeguarding the dignity of a country.

The minds of those who departed from the port were shrouded in a haze. Thinking of the Soviet fleet waiting for them on the high seas, they were not only uneasy, but still uneasy.It seems that this is the most dangerous sortie voyage that the US fleet has encountered in so many years. During the Gulf War in 1991, the USS Enterprise was like an invincible giant monster, which made everyone in the Middle East see the horror of the United States.Even when the U.S. Navy faced the Soviet maritime armed forces in 1962, it was not as worried as it is now.

But now, the powerful U.S. Navy is helpless in front of the Soviet fleet, and it is a big joke to spread it.

The Enterprise left the port, thinking about sailing in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz, the final destination of the Chinese freighter is there, so Americans are not afraid that they will not encounter Chinese cargo ships in the waters near the strait.Looking around, the dispatch of the Enterprise is like pulling a series of ships to act at the same time. It is worthy of being the most combative naval country in the world today.
