The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

A completely black submarine slowly emerged from the water. Then, less than two nautical miles away from the nearest helicopter, the bow of the boat rushed out of the sea first, and then slammed into the water, splashing a burst of white waves. .

This is the power-floating posture of a submarine in an emergency, similar to the climbing process of a fighter jet. Compared to relying solely on buoyancy, this process is much faster.

The three Frenchmen on AS565 stared dumbly at what was happening in front of them.

The pilot was so shaken that he almost sent the crew and the plane away:

"Is this a Chinese submarine?"

In all conscience, he is just a helicopter driver.

They are not even specifically responsible for flying anti-submarine helicopters.

In addition, since the French navy was driven away by the equally powerful Vietnamese, it has hardly been to Asian waters. It is normal to not recognize these submarines that seem to be similar at first glance.

In fact, he had realized something was amiss a few minutes ago.

Although Cao Lei does not have a warhead, it may still cause some malfunctions if it directly hits the submarine.

Moreover, in the exercise plan, submarine attack and submarine search are also separated.

As a result, as soon as they reported their position, they saw a hanging torpedo dropped...

No matter how close the exercise is to actual combat, it shouldn't really reach this point, right?

Now the submarine that suddenly emerged has deepened this ominous premonition.

No, ten or even nine points is wrong.

The anti-submarine sonar operator sitting behind him was completely confused.

Compared to the two pilots, he is the one who is really responsible for anti-submarine warfare.

Therefore, after the splash of water disappeared, I almost immediately recognized the submarine’s identity:

"fils de pute...this is a Harushio-class ship!"

The sonar operator also found it unbelievable, so he opened the door on the side of the helicopter and stuck half of his head out to take a closer look.

Then confirm that it is really spring tide level.

The outrageous plot development made the two pilots in front of them lose their minds for a while:

"Can the Chinese invite Japanese as imaginary enemies in exercises?"

This imaginary enemy is a bit too real.

"What an imaginary enemy, it's real!"

"This submarine was here to monitor our exercises, but it was accidentally discovered by the helicopter responsible for searching for submarines!"

"We and the Chinese Navy blew up a Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine!"

The operator returned to the cabin and roared to explain to the two companions in front who were still confused.

His whole body was numb, and he quickly grabbed the radio next to him and put it on his head, preparing to report the incident to the Jean Bart, which was more than ten nautical miles away.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the other two Chinese helicopters was naturally joyful.

In the state of fighting without defeat, there are various types of games between submarines and anti-submarine.

But generally speaking, being able to detect it in advance and force the submarine to surface on its own initiative basically means complete victory.

This time, facing the most advanced Harushio-class submarine in Hainan, although the speed of effective response was slightly slower, the response after discovering the target was still quite effective.

Definitely a big blush.

"Quick, does any of you have a camera?"

The pilot of aircraft 9686 asked on the radio.

Because he saw several crew members appearing in the hull of the submarine, holding a Hainan flag in their hands, as if they were preparing to hang it to identify themselves.

Judging from their dejected expressions, it was obvious that they were frightened by the round of gongs and drums just now.

In peacetime, if this scene was filmed, it could be used as a record after returning home.

The few ship-based helicopters that the North Sea Fleet Aviation Force has are actually used more often for verification, search and rescue, and aerial photography than for anti-submarine warfare, so they often carry an ordinary film camera in the cabin.

Unit 9696, which was flying around the submarine on the other side, quickly responded in the affirmative.

"The photo has been taken!"

"Today is truly a memorable day..."

The pilot sighed with emotion as he looked through the side window at the slightly embarrassed submarine on the water that had raised its military flag.

Soon, the outcome of the incident was conveyed to the two warships that were approaching quickly.

"The pilot reported that he had forced the submarine out of the water. It was judged that it should be the Harushio class of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. However, because there is no mark on the submarine, there is no way to figure out which one it is."

The radio liaison officer turned around and reported the news to everyone in CIC.

Everyone was naturally refreshed.

"it is good!"

Captain Luo Zhangming made a fist with his right hand, hit it on the palm of his left hand, and made a "pop" sound:

"Just catch it!"

The contest between the surface and underwater is generally something that both parties tend to keep secret.

In fact, China has not even solved the most basic fleet air defense this year, and anti-submarine treatment is almost completely abandoned.

Except for the two 052s, there is basically no third warship that can pose a threat to modern submarines.

In fact, to expand the scope, these two 052s are the only two warships of the Chinese Navy that can barely be called "modern".

As a comparison, just last month, the Maritime Self-Defense Force just commissioned the fourth Kongou-class destroyer Chokai equipped with the Aegis system. The equipment level is directly different from that of the Chinese Navy.

For Chinese naval officers in this era, not to mention the other side of the ocean, even Haizi can be regarded as a first-rate powerful enemy.

However, no matter what the overall strength is, at least today, a win is a win.

If you can't afford it, practice more. If you can't afford it, don't play it.

However, the surprises are not over yet.

Moments later, the radio operator continued to report:

"In addition, No. 9696 also reported that they had taken photos to collect evidence and left image data."

At this time, even Yang Shuyu, who had been sitting firmly next to the chart table, clenched his fists excitedly and said to Luo Zhangming next to him:

"When I go back, I will personally ask for credit from you!"

You must know that in similar confrontations in the East China Sea in recent years, limited by the gap in equipment levels, there were not many opportunities to take advantage.

Let alone a complete victory like today.

"The French asked us what happened to that submarine?"

Just then, the liaison officer turned back from not far away and asked the people celebrating here.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Shuyu.

Now that the anti-submarine operation has been successfully concluded, the command has naturally returned to him.

The truth, of course, cannot be told.

But it can’t be completely nonsense.

After thinking for a moment, the latter raised his head:

"Tell them that we don't know yet and need to investigate slowly after we go back. We have always regarded this submarine as the imaginary enemy of this exercise."

……

When Lieutenant General Vojour on the Jean Bart received this answer, he almost laughed.

According to the report from the helicopter just now, after finding the target, the Chinese Navy's anti-submarine helicopter dropped a torpedo almost without hesitation.

Even if it is not loaded with explosives, it is definitely not the attitude to face an "imaginary enemy".

Therefore, perhaps at the beginning, the Chinese Navy did not know the situation clearly.

But then they must have known better.

However, this kind of thing cannot be revealed after seeing through it.

If you run into an area where others are conducting exercises while in submersible mode to conduct reconnaissance, you will have to consider yourself unlucky if you are discovered.

It would be embarrassing to ignore it, and it would be too late for the sea to cover it up, so it would be impossible to publicize it everywhere.

And with this reply from the Chinese, at least he won't have to take the blame after he returns, and he can even let his superiors cause trouble for the Japanese.

You must know that this is a joint military exercise.

Being approached by a submarine for reconnaissance within 20 nautical miles is not only a provocation to the Chinese Navy, but also to the French Navy.

"It's okay, it's not like our French navy has never fought against the Japanese."

Someone next to me whispered.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? When?"

Obviously not everyone is very familiar with the history of their own military.

"In 1944, the battleship Richelieu bombarded Sumatra. Unfortunately, the Jean Bart had not yet been completed at that time, so she did not catch up..."

"Speaking of which, our No. 1 ship is not called the Richelieu."

"..."

The conversation, which was conducted in a low voice but could be heard by everyone, made the atmosphere in the entire CIC much more relaxed.

After all, the French in this era are thinking about being on an equal footing with the United States, so naturally they cannot regard Japan as a true ally.

Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss in this matter. If he polishes the report a little when he returns, it might become capital for his future promotion.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Wojru's mood improved a lot.

"Okay, just write the memo as they say..."
