    "What? You said the Chinese actually ordered us to surrender?" The commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Edouard Baldin, had a face full of disbelief and anger, and knocked on the table in front of him angrily.

    "No naval sailor with a sense of honor will surrender to anyone without a fight. Are the Chinese arrogant? They actually look down on our heroic Black Sea Fleet so much." Commander Baldin complained a lot, and after a moment he  He paused again, changed his tone, and asked again:

    "What did St. Petersburg say?"

    Kravchenko, the general of the Black Sea Fleet, smiled bitterly: "St. Petersburg said that we can make our own decisions. Whether we choose to surrender to the Chinese or refuse the Chinese orders, they will understand."

    When Baldin heard this, he became even more angry and said: "Are you still playing tricks at this time? No wonder Yeltsin, this useless Western lackey, will eventually lose to that mad dog Markashev."

    The reason why Yeltsin gave an ambiguous explanation to Baldin was actually based on a lot of considerations.  On the one hand, if you publicly support Baldin's rejection of China's demands, you will offend the Chinese, and now the Chinese are Yeltsin's only hope for defeating Makashev; on the other hand, if you publicly support Baldin's surrender to the Chinese, then Russia's national system and national character will be offended.  All will be damaged, and this little braid will definitely be pulled out and criticized in the future; and Yeltsin thinks that giving the Black Sea Fleet greater autonomy is a good way to sell out Bardin and the Black Sea Fleet.

    Anyway, the Russian Federation does not have the strength to control the Russian Navy at all. From the beginning of the war until now, the Navy has been like an outsider. It has not been a day or two sitting there on a small bench, eating melon seeds and watching the fun. Yeltsin knew that his words were probably useless.  Why do you need to say it so clearly?

    But in Baldin¡¯s view, Yeltsin¡¯s unscrupulous remarks are really annoying. No one wants to see a country¡¯s leader who is irresponsible, let alone thinking and taking responsibility for the people below.  When Gorbachev was in office, he offended the army for repeatedly using military subordinates as scapegoats. After Yeltsin's troubles began, no one in the army stood up to speak out for Gorbachev.

    "What happened to Russia? Does it still have a future?" Baldin couldn't help but worry about the country and its people. In his opinion, Yeltsin was a stupid dog plus a traitor dog, and Makashev was a mad dog plus a mangy dog. Russia's future will be  If we rely on these two creatures, we really have no future.

    Baldin doesn't think much of the Chinese navy. Even though the PL Navy has indeed come into the limelight several times in recent years, such as the Rim-Pacific military exercise, the fight against Malaysia in Southeast Asia, the Taiwan Liberation War, the Gulf War, etc., with eye-catching performances, authoritative people now believe that China  The navy is undoubtedly the second largest navy in the world after the United States.

    "The navy cannot increase its combat effectiveness by just having a few large and bright ships. It does not have a glorious naval tradition and soul, it is just a group of boatmen." Baldin thought rather arrogantly in his heart. In fact, he was also envious of the Chinese navy's ships.  To the point of drooling.

    The Soviet Union fell, the republics were divided, the Pacific Fleet was owned by the Far East Republic, and the Black Sea Fleet was divided between Ukraine and Russia.  The Baltic Fleet itself is small. After the independence of the three Baltic Sea countries, they lost most of their operating sites and facilities. Due to lack of funds, two-thirds of the ships were withdrawn from active service, and a large number of sailors were demobilized and returned home. The current Baltic Fleet does not even have a fleet.  Can't even be called that.  The Northern Fleet has generally fallen into the hands of Russia relatively completely. This fleet, which has a large number of nuclear submarines and was comparable to the US Seventh Fleet at the peak of the Cold War, is now sitting in the port without even daily training.  .

    On the other hand, the Chinese Navy has tens of thousands of tons of new ships entering active service every year, and the quality of their ships is by no means comparable to the old ships of the Soviet Red Navy.  Aegis ships, nuclear aircraft carriers, and nuclear submarines are all the world's top military ships. Even the introduction in Jane's Defense Weekly's Naval Ship Yearbook states that no one in the world can surpass China in terms of naval ship design alone.  right.

    Baldin's psychological activity is actually like a poor man riding a bicycle, seeing a rich man driving a BMW, and secretly scolding others for their lack of education and being less moral than himself.

    No matter what, Baldin could not afford the "good reputation" of "Captain of the Surrendering Fleet", so he only responded to the order sent to the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet: "I'm sorry to obey."

    Zhang Lingzhong, the deputy commander of the navy who led the PL expedition fleet, received Baldin's reply, sneered and said: "If you don't drink a toast, you will have to drink a fine. In this case, let's not be polite to these old men. We thought it was twenty or thirty years ago."  Before, can they become bigger?¡±

    "A quick victory, Operation Thunder Fury has been launched. The Air Force and Second Artillery Force will launch an offensive in the east tomorrow. If our Navy is slow, it will be looked down upon." Zhang Lingzhong encouraged. In his eyes, those of the Black Sea Fleet are  A broken ship is really nothing.

    The Black Sea Fleet currently has an aircraft-carrying cruiser (Kiev-class), cruiser, destroyer and 10 frigates, and it is just like the red country¡¯sThe navy maintains a large number of light escort boats and missile boats.  Since the transformation of the Chinese Navy in 1985, it has followed the path of large-scale warships. The missile boats and escort boats have been withdrawn from active service.  On the contrary, the Coast Guard now operates many warships with similar functions.

    The Black Sea Fleet seems to have a large lineup, but in fact, the maintenance and logistics of these ships are very problematic, let alone normal training. I don¡¯t know how long they have not done it.  In addition, there are a large number of ships in the fleet from the 1960s, which are simply unable to adapt to today's high-tech naval combat environment. They are purely used to provide experience points to the Chinese expeditionary fleet.

    "If you give another ultimatum, if you don't join the expedition fleet within the time limit, you will bear all the responsibilities." Zhang Lingzhong is not young, but he is still powerful. In recent years, he has also paid attention to absorbing new combat concepts and tactics. This war  This may be the last battle in his military career. He hopes to fight well and become the most glorious chapter in his military career.

    On the other side, Baldin received the ultimatum from Zhang Lingzhong and became even more angry, "Okay, since the Chinese want to fight, we will fight with them. We must let them know that only the Russian sailors who died in the sea will not  The groveling Russian sailors¡±

    Kravchenko said worriedly: "But, Commander, when we fight the Chinese Navy, the odds of winning are really low.

    Baldin cut off his words and said firmly: "This battle must be fought. We may die if we fight it, but the soul of St. Andre's Cross is still there. One day our descendants will raise this flag again and proudly  Once again show the world the majesty of the Slavs on the sea, but if we surrender like this, our names will be engraved on the pillar of shame, and the future sea soul shirts will be ashamed of us."

    Having said this, Kravchenko must grit his teeth and endure with Baldin no matter how confident he is in the fight.  He knew that what Baldin said was right. Now Russia has become ridiculous in the eyes of people all over the world. More and more people regard Russia, which once frightened the world, as a big joke.  There have been too many frustrating and embarrassing moments in this war. Someone must stand up and build an immortal monument for Russia's future recovery and revitalization, even if it is full of tragedy.

    But even so, due to long-term combat readiness, aging equipment and poor maintenance, the Black Sea Fleet did not complete combat preparations within four hours after Baldin issued the combat order, and even the anchor hooks of some ships that were supposed to go to war were not pulled up.  What's even more ridiculous is that when some crew members heard that there was going to be a war, they immediately deserted, and several major combat ships lay directly in the port. Without sailors, they couldn't sail at all.

    Baldin looked at the busy Black Sea Fleet, and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. He didn't know when, but the Black Sea Fleet and the entire Russian army were already in such a state of unbearable condition. They were not considered combatable soldiers at all. They were all just eating and drinking.  Dead silverfish.

    "After the war, after the war, perhaps dying in battle is a decent way to escape." Baldin was overwhelmed by pessimism and boarded the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Glorious.  The two "aircraft carriers" of the Black Sea Fleet, Moskva and St. Petersburg, are not even capable of fighting in this war.

    Baldin ordered in a deep voice: "Get out of the port, don't wait for them."

    Kravchenko said in shock: "Commander, if we leave the ships under preparation, we can only fight with 30% of the fleet's combat strength at most. This is impossible" At this point, Kravchenko stopped talking.  , because he reacted, can the Black Sea Fleet defeat the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet even if the entire army is deployed?

    " Impossible. Opposite is a huge surface battleship group of aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, cruisers, destroyers and frigates. There are still many nuclear submarines hidden underwater.  To put it bluntly, even the firepower of four Chinese Aegis cruisers is enough to overwhelm the victorious Black Sea Fleet, let alone now?

    The straight-line distance between the expedition fleet base Constanta and the Black Sea Fleet base Sevastopol is more than 400 kilometers. This distance is so close that the Chinese fleet cannot launch an offensive with peace of mind unless it gets rid of the Black Sea Fleet. A large number of  Reconnaissance planes patrolled over the Black Sea, and as soon as the Black Sea Fleet left the port, it was detected by the Chinese side.

    Zhang Lingzhong was also quite surprised by this and whispered: "I didn't expect these old guys to still have some backbone. Is it so easy to just die standing up? We will press you to the ground and beat you to death."

    This young deputy commander of the Navy has a unique kind of stubborn temper. In his opinion, people like the Black Sea Fleet should not pretend to be too big. He quickly received the lunch box and bowed three times. Their expedition fleet still has  Rushing to carry out air strikes in the interior of Russia.
