Chapter 946 Safety No. 1!

There are still 20 days until the August [-]st Army Day, but the municipal party committee has too much work, Secretary Lu is worried that he will be too busy then, so he holds the annual army meeting in advance.

Mayor Wang, Deputy Mayor Qin, Commander Wang of the Military Division, Political Commissar Chen, and the heads of all units stationed in Binjiang attended the meeting as usual.

Considering that this year's conscription work is about to kick off, Secretary Lu first conveyed the study of the "Regulations on Conscription Work" and the opinions of his superiors on strengthening and improving national defense education in the new era, and then listened to the work reports of the military divisions and the Binjiang Reserve Regiment. .

Except for conscription, other aspects are mainly retreats.

After the meeting, Mayor Wang smiled as he walked, "Old Qin, if Xianyu didn't travel on business, he would come to the meeting today."

"Yes, he is the captain of the rescue ship brigade and the person in charge of the troops stationed in Binjiang."

As soon as Deputy Mayor Qin finished speaking, Secretary Lu asked curiously, "Where is he now? Has the visiting formation set sail yet?"

"At sea at the moment, the formation set sail yesterday."

Deputy Mayor Qin stopped in his tracks and said excitedly: "They first went south to the Western Pacific and visited Malaysia for the first time, then passed through the Strait of Malacca, crossed the Indian Ocean, and arrived in Africa. Pass the world-famous "Cape of Storm" Cape of Good Hope, enter the Atlantic Ocean, go to Cape Town, the second largest city in South Africa at the southernmost tip of the African continent, and return after visiting South Africa. The whole journey is more than 1.6 nautical miles. This is the first time since the establishment of the People's Navy Traveling across three oceans, it is also the first visit to the African continent."

The cadres in Binjiang were able to participate in such a historic action. Secretary Lu was both happy and somewhat regretful. He couldn't help complaining: "Since you know this, why didn't you say it earlier? If you said it earlier, I'll let them write it into the speech materials. Just now Then you can talk about it at the meeting.”

"Secretary Lu, I just found out last night."

"Just found out last night?"

"Yesterday, the Zhejiang Wenzhou Reserve Corps came to visit and study. A deputy mayor of Wenzhou led the team. Political Commissar Chen and I accompanied them to visit the Linghai Reserve Camp. When we came back from Linghai, we visited the Disembarkation and Rescue Ship Brigade. Political Commissar Fang from the Naval Retirement Center attended the reception and had dinner together in the evening, all these were told by Commissar Fang at the dinner table."

"How did the political commissar Fang know?"

"He has been paying close attention to the matter of Xianyu visiting with the naval fleet. Besides, he was originally a naval officer."

Deputy Mayor Qin smiled and added: "Almost forgot, Political Commissar Fang said that Xianyu is not only the 'escort captain' of the visiting formation, but also an observer of this visiting mission, appointed by the Navy Headquarters!"

Mayor Wang subconsciously asked: "Observer?"

"It's equivalent to supervising the army. His status is detached. Even the commander and political commissar of the visiting formation have to give him some face."

"The commander is the captain?"

"No, the captain is the captain, and the captain is just a regiment-level officer." Seeing the grown-up child so promising, Deputy Mayor Qin was delighted from the bottom of his heart, and explained with a smile: "The visiting formation is composed of a guided missile destroyer. It is composed of a supply ship and a command post has been set up for the convenience of command, the chief of staff of the South China Sea Fleet serves as the commander-in-chief, and a major general of the Navy Headquarters serves as the political commissar."

Secretary Lu pondered: "What is the rank of the chief of staff of the fleet?"

"Deputy rank, major general."

"So Xianyu deals with the general every day."

"Well, we have to get along day and night for more than two months."

"This kid is better than you and me. It's a pity not to be a soldier. But then again, if he really was a soldier, people wouldn't value him so much."

"This is why foreign monks like to chant scriptures." Mayor Wang thought it was true, and laughed.

After chatting for a while, Deputy Mayor Qin was planning to go back, but Secretary Lu suddenly remembered something and asked him to go to his office.

Deputy Mayor Qin realized that "Boss Lu" had something to discuss and followed up with the secretary's office.

As soon as he took him to the door, Secretary Lu greeted him to sit down and said with a smile: "Old Qin, Commander Wang asked me to report to me a few days ago, saying that the 98th Army, which was in charge of the Xianyu Battalion during the 105 flood fighting period, planned to organize their special operations group Come to Binjiang to train at the seaside. The order has been issued, and the military region requires our full assistance in Binjiang."

Deputy Mayor Qin really didn't know about this, and asked in a low voice, "How can I help?"

"A logistics support team has been set up in the military division, and it has already been contacted with the 105th Army. The military division will be responsible for how to assist. Deputy Commander Lu, who came to Linghai to participate in the commendation meeting two years ago, was promoted. Now he is the commander of the 105th Army, he called me yesterday afternoon and said that he will trouble us next."

Secretary Lu smiled, and continued: "He is now the chief of the first army. It is impossible for a regiment to come here in person like two years ago. At that time, the chief of staff of their army may come, and the chief of staff is also a major general. Wait You are responsible for the reception, after all, they are here for the Linghai reserve camp, and you are the deputy political commissar of the Jiangnan reserve division and the political commissar of the Binjiang reserve regiment."

"Okay, I will welcome you then."

"If I'm not busy at that time and happen to be at home, I will definitely have a meal with him. If I'm very busy or have to go on a business trip, please ask Mayor Wang to accompany me."

"Okay, that's it."

……

At the same time, Han Yu and Staff Officer Wu were standing on the third-floor platform of the Nancang supply ship, chatting with the Shenzheng ship sailing in the front left.

Not long after it set sail, this place theoretically belongs to China's territorial waters.

The captain and crew are very familiar with this sea area. The weather in the past two days has been good, and there are not many foreign ships passing by. There is no need for an "escort captain" for the time being.

The ocean-going captain who performed the liaison mission with the garrison came from the Guangzhou Nautical Academy. At the moment, he is organizing officers and soldiers who do not need to be on duty to study international conventions on the Shenzheng ship.

Since Han Yu has to perform observation tasks at the same time, he doesn't need to teach the officers and soldiers like others.

The reason why he didn't go to the Shenzheng Ship, but to the supply ship, was that he was more interested in the supply ship, and the second was that the command post was set up on the Shenzheng Ship, and the two chiefs were also on the Shenzheng Ship. The deep ship is free.

There was no one else around, Staff Officer Wu asked with a smile: "Brother, how do you feel about our new ship?"

Han Yu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Would you like to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course listen to the truth!"

"The level of equipment needs to be improved."

"Be specific."

"First of all, in terms of weapons and equipment, as a main battleship of nearly 8 tons, and it is also a flagship, it does not have area air defense capabilities. It is only equipped with an 12-unit short-range air defense missile with a maximum range of only [-] kilometers. There is no multi-target combat capability. I saw military fans say this on the Internet before, and I didn’t quite believe it. When I got on the ship and saw it, I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Staff Officer Wu was stunned, and asked in surprise, "Is there any more?"

"The anti-missile system is also lagging behind. The four 4mm machine guns have a low rate of fire and poor reliability. I don't think the fire control radar is very good. The anti-missile capability is extremely limited, which is better than nothing."

Han Yu raised his binoculars, observed the stern of the ship, and continued: "There is also a problem with the design and layout of the 37 guns. The four guns are all installed on the four round corners of the hangar. Although it can effectively increase the defense of the rear of the ship, it is also difficult to It will lead to obvious short-range defense loopholes in the front, which can be easily exploited by the enemy in wartime and cause heavy losses."

He once "owned" a small warship and had a very good relationship with the East China Sea Fleet. He has been to the East China Sea base of the East China Sea Fleet and boarded a ship of the East China Sea Fleet. It is normal to know these things.

Staff Officer Wu was not surprised that Han Yu could see these shortcomings, and said in a low voice, "Continue."

"I took a closer look on the ship yesterday and found that the anti-submarine aspect has not improved but has regressed. It is not equipped with active and passive combined towed sonar like the Heerbin ship and Qidao ship that were in service before. Only the hull at the bow is active. Sonar."

Han Yu took a deep breath, frowned and said: "The use of steam turbines is the symbol of dreadnoughts. The era of dreadnoughts began in 1905. Apart from cheap cost and cheap fuel, steam turbines really can't find any other advantages. The disadvantages are numerous.

It takes a long time to start, and the speed of starting the fire is slow. It is difficult to set sail for the first time when performing major military tasks or encountering enemy situations.Then there is the noise and the concealment is not good.During the navigation process, there will be a lot of noise, which is easy to expose its own position, and it will also seriously interfere with the active sonar detection capability of the bow hull, making it difficult to accurately detect enemy submarines. "

Staff Officer Wu was a little surprised this time, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you even understand this?"

"I drove a law enforcement rescue boat when I was 16 years old. My little 001 was equipped with radar and underwater detection equipment more than ten years ago. The radar is for military use, and the underwater detection equipment uses the principle of sonar. Many of your officers and soldiers are receiving I only saw computers when I was a new ship, and I started playing with computers more than ten years ago."

"I used computers more than ten years ago, is it true or not?"

"What are you doing lying to you? I didn't really understand the underwater mapping equipment at the time. I actually thought that the underwater mapping equipment worth hundreds of thousands was just a water depth detector."

Navy ships have been a little bit better in recent years, and they were really just a bunch of old ships a few years ago.

Staff Officer Wu was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "We all know what you said, who doesn't want to equip more advanced ships? In fact, our requirements are not the same as they are now when designing, but they block our technology. The technology is not good enough, and the last one of the requirements we put forward failed to be realized.”

"How many new ships like this are going to be built?"

"You can see that there are so many deficiencies, and the superiors know it too. Let's make up for it first, and don't plan to build a second one for the time being."

"That's good. If you build a few ships in a row, the money spent is too worthless." Han Yu thought for a while, then looked at the new ship in the distance and said: "Take it as a test ship, use it first, Conditional and then upgrade and remodel.”

"That's how we think about it."

Staff Officer Wu sighed lightly, then asked with a smile, "You are an observer, have you observed something that I don't know about?"

Han Yu turned around and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Commissar Shen asked me to ask this question."

"I went around the engine room yesterday, and found that the mechanical and electrical department is relatively unfamiliar with the working conditions and maintenance of the main engine and auxiliary engines. It may be that small ships were used and maintained before, and I haven't had much contact with high-power main engines. The business level needs to be improved."

He was a student of marine engineering and was a true expert in this field.

Moreover, warships only go to sea a few times a year, unlike ocean-going ships that sail almost every day, the professional level of the officers and soldiers of the Mechanical and Electrical Department is really not comparable to that of the mechanics and sailors of the Merchant Marine Engineering Department.

Staff Officer Wu didn't know what to say, so Han Yu continued: "When the whistle sounds, you will get ten thousand taels of gold! It's not easy to sail once, so I didn't take this opportunity to organize training such as sea supplies. We used to be short of funds, and my little 001 only needed When sailing, we must find a way to use the opportunity of sailing to organize water fire fighting and other training."

"You mean training while sailing?"

"Ah."

"Ocean sailing is meant to be training."

"Just sailing is not enough, brothers, you are the navy, you must be ready to fight at any time!"

This is very sad to hear.

Staff Officer Wu was very embarrassed. He looked behind him and covered his mouth and said, "Safe sailing to several countries is the first priority. As for the training subjects you mentioned, we will organize them after the mission is completed. It’s not on the shore, if there is no accident, it’s nothing, once it happens, it’s a big deal.”

Han Yu asked in a low voice, "Is this your idea?"

"I'm a soy saucer. What ideas can I have? This is what the leaders think."

"Afraid of accidents?"

"Accidents determine the world. If you organize supply training while sailing as you said, if there is an accident, if life is killed, what will be done then? How will the commander-in-chief and Political Commissar Shen explain to their superiors?"

Afraid that Han Yu would not understand, Staff Officer Wu said with a bit of embarrassment: "The meal needs to be eaten bite by bite. The first thing we have to do is to go out. It is victory to successfully complete the ocean voyage and visit missions assigned by the superior."

As long as you reach your destination and come back safely, you are victorious.

It sounds reasonable, but when you think about it, it feels weird. You must know that this is a warship, not a merchant ship!

Han Yu really didn't know how to refute, so he just stopped talking and made up his mind to write it back into the observation report.
