    "The weather in the Middle East is really annoying." Julich fanned the wind with his training hat, feeling the hot sun shining on the sea, and then the air became even hotter. He had also performed missions in the tropical waters of the South China Sea before, but he didn't feel that  More painful than the Persian Gulf.

    Julich is only -1 years old and is already a lieutenant colonel. He is the new captain of the Ma'anshan ship and the second captain of the ship. Before that, he served on a destroyer. Later, because of his talent,  With good performance, he was assigned to be the captain of the Ma'anshan ship.  However, Julich is not very happy. There are only four 054A ships left in the navy now, obviously fading out of the main fleet. As a captain who loves the navy and power, he is far away from the main fleet. It is really  It's something unpleasant.

    But Julich never imagined that because it was a ship that did not need to be kept secret, he and his Ma'anshan would frequently appear overseas in the next few years, conducting joint training or joint operations with so-called "allies."  When Americans see that the Chinese send so many ships every time, they must think that these ships are the strongest combat power of the PL Navy, but they cannot imagine that these ships are actually used to fool the Americans.

    China claims to have stopped its reckless military actions and actively participated in international affairs. It has agreed to the Americans to send a special minesweeper fleet. In addition to the escort ship Ma'anshan, there are also two 6L minesweepers and a 3-type minesweeper.  Ocean supply ship Erhai.

    Julich was young and was only a lieutenant colonel. Obviously, he was unable to lead an entire fleet. A senior colonel named Luo Mingguang was sent to take charge of the fleet command. Julich's position as captain was obviously  Being compressed in disguise, which was one of the reasons why he was unhappy recently.

    A few days ago, the task force minesweeper fleet stationed at the U.S. base in Manama, Bahrain. The Americans even kindly held a welcome party for their allies. Julich was also happy to taste Middle Eastern food and experience the exotic customs.  .  However, this sense of freshness was completely destroyed within a few days. During the mission, Julich did not have the energy of the past and sat wilting in the CIC.

    He himself is a smart guy, but he is too lazy to care about the sophistication of people. Unexpectedly, the captain Luo Mingguang sent was a red alert soldier, let alone getting close to him, which made all the officers and soldiers on the ship feel that the two chiefs were secretly involved.  The competition is the same.

    "6 This is 84I. We dropped another fixed-depth mine in area E. Haha, we are now two points ahead of 846." The voice coming from the communicator was very relaxed and there was not much tension.  The two minesweepers agreed in advance like a game to see who could sweep more mines. This beneficial competition made the sailors on the two ships 84 and 45 very motivated. In just one week after they started operations, they completed more minesweepers than the multinational joint minesweeper.  All the other ships in the fleet swept more mines, which was an eye-opener for the Allied fleets.

    On the one hand, the professionalism and fighting spirit of the Chinese minesweepers are the reason for the remarkable results, but on the other hand, the performance of the 6l minesweeper is naturally much better than that of other countries in this era.  The mine-hunting and sweeping equipment it is equipped with are generally one generation advanced than those of Western countries, so they naturally attract the limelight when working.  After learning about this situation, the US Fifth Fleet also reported to China that it could consider introducing some Chinese mine-hunting equipment and mine-clearing technology.

    "If you are beautiful, keep working hard." Senior Colonel Luo Mingguang cherishes words like gold.

    Ulrich glanced at this cold middle-aged man and knew that this man was much better than him in terms of simply dispatching the fleet, and he still had to learn a lot from him.  Julich has always had a dream of being a captain, and now that he has realized it, he hopes to be a captain on a larger ship or a fleet captain. Moreover, he is still young and has a long road ahead.

    ? 6 The Ma¡¯anshan is still cruising in the sea area. Originally, they also hoped to join the mission of escorting oil tankers and cargo ships from various countries. However, the mission assigned to them by the US military is a patrol and alert mission to support the nearby minesweepers at any time.

    Just when everyone was a little lazy and bored, intermittent calls for help in English suddenly came from the channel: "MadaMada, this is the Samuel Roberts. We hit a mine 20 kilometers northeast of the Bahrain Islands.  , there will be certain casualties"

    Everyone stood up with a roar. No one expected it to be like this. Everyone has been busy clearing mines these days, but the Perry-class frigate USS Roberts actually hit a mine.

    Luo Mingguang said calmly: "The Roberts is operating together with the 14th Escort Fleet of the US Navy. There are other ships in the fleet. Even if it hits a mine and is injured, rescue should be able to arrive quickly. Don't worry."

    Julich couldn't help but said: "The Yankees are not a good guy. They can kill as many as they can."

    Luo Mingguang frowned and said: "Now they are our allies, so there is no need to say such things.

    Luo Mingguang said to the signal corps: "Inform the US military escort fleet that our ship is sailing towards them and can provide help and rescue at any time."

    Yulich thought for a while and said next to Luo Mingguang: "The Americans have been angry with Iran for a long time, and they suffered this loss this time."They must retaliate. The Americans have actually been waiting for an opportunity to teach Iran a lesson, and now this opportunity is right in front of them.  "

    Luo Mingguang glanced at him, a little noncommittal, wondering if he was unwilling to discuss this topic. He continued to order: "Let 84 and 45 gather with the multinational joint mine clearance fleet. The following must be a more massive mine clearance operation."  ¡±

    According to the news from the fleet channel, a large hole with a diameter of 27 meters was blown out of the USS Roberts frigate. A large influx of seawater caused the hull to tilt to the right. The main and auxiliary engines were shut down. The entire ship lost power and had a power outage. Several cabins caught fire, and the dense  Smoke enveloped the entire ship and 10 people on board were injured, three of them seriously.

    As Luo Mingguang expected, the next day, April 15, the U.S. military gathered all minesweepers from China, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries to conduct a rigorous dragnet minesweeping operation in the sea area where the accident occurred.  , B mines were eventually found in the water, half of which were contributed by Chinese minesweepers.

    After conducting investigations and collecting evidence, the Americans determined that these mines were purchased by Iran from the Soviet Union last year, and Iran was undoubtedly the culprit.  This time it is really a matter of old and new grudges. After the Khomeini revolution, the United States and Iran were at odds with each other. The subsequent hostage incident in Tehran, in which Iran detained six American diplomats for a year, further changed the two countries.  Became irreconcilable enemies.  Before the Roberts was bombed, the United States had been looking for such an opportunity to attack Iran.

    But before the United States took action against Iran, another minor incident occurred - the Chinese frigate Ma'anshan was attacked by an Iranian suicide boat.

    On the day when the multinational joint mine-sweeping fleet carried out the mine-sweeping mission, the Ma'anshan ship, a member of the fleet, was also active in this sea area to provide warning.

    ¡°Captain, Captain, our radar has detected a target the size of a fishing boat approaching us.

    After hearing this, Ulrich was not alert at all, and just said: "Maybe it's just a fishing boat, don't worry about it."

    But Luo Mingguang said sharply: "It's such a mess here, and Iran is also at war. Do fishermen have the guts to come to this sea area to fish? There must be monsters when things go wrong, so it's better to be careful."

    Ulrich couldn't twist his thigh with his arm, and he felt that Luo Mingguang's statement made sense, so he nodded and said, "Send a helicopter over to take a look."

    The Ma'anshan only carried a light helicopter on this voyage. It was just for simple personnel transportation and reconnaissance work, and it did not have any too complicated functions.  After the helicopter took off, it quickly flew over the small boat, which indeed looked similar to an ordinary fishing boat.

    At this time, the helicopter began to shout in not very standard English and Farsi, ordering the ship to leave the sea area quickly, but no one expected that a guy appeared from this small fishing boat of several dozen tons and raised a  Gu PP attacked the opponent without warning.

    Fortunately, the helicopter pilot was very alert and immediately pulled up the plane when he saw the rocket launcher. The rocket passed by the plane but still hit the main rotor.  The helicopter immediately undulated and could crash into the sea at any time. At this time, the experienced pilot tried hard to control the helicopter's flight attitude, and immediately left the sky above the small boat and returned to the Ma'anshan ship's landing platform.

    The helicopter rotor was scratched, but it was not serious, but the thrilling scene just now made the sailors on the ship feel the same hatred.  Julich immediately ordered the main guns to be turned and aimed at the blind boat, but at this time the small boat was rushing towards this side at a higher speed.

    Luo Mingguang immediately judged: "It is a suicide bombing boat, and the side and side machine guns were immediately put into combat position."

    Julich¡¯s soul was in a panic. He knew very well what would happen to the frigate of more than 4,000 tons if a small boat loaded with explosives really rushed in front of the frigate.  If the Ma'anshan ship is a Type 0ll arsenal ship, its thick armor may not be afraid of such an attack, but the Ma'anshan ship is just a frigate, and its fate will definitely not be any worse than that of the Roberts, which struck a mine.

    The 10Umm main gun fired continuously. At this time, the advantages of the superior fire control system were finally shown. Five of the seven shells hit, and the explosives on the suicide boat were detonated directly less than a hundred meters away from the frigate.  The huge explosion caused a shock wave and tore the small ship into pieces. The flying ship fragments scratched the Ma'anshan ship. Even the fire control radar of an anti-aircraft missile was damaged and needed to be repaired before it could be used.

    Julich¡¯s face turned red and he cursed: ¡°Do these Persians think we are Americans?¡±

    Luo Mingguang was still calm at this moment. He said: "No matter what, they are our enemies now. We pL do not have the habit of not fighting back when bullied."
