Chapter 303 Le Hai wants to board the ship to inspect the Discomfort
Discomfort at the center of the bridge, Swinney was anxious.
It was more than an hour before, and the No. 53 ship opposite him didn't say a word and ignored the frequent calls of the Discomfort. But everyone knew that the old-fashioned frigate, which was only one nautical mile apart, had been in a state of inducing but not sending.
The active radar signal was almost covered with the tactical display screen in front of Swinney. Every signal jump was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, challenging the most sensitive nerve lines in his body without limit, and his spirit moved to the brink of collapse. The strong sense of suffocation made him and everyone behind him seem to smell the smell of death.
Brad also realized that his previous calculating was too much of a pediatrician. If he wanted to settle the score, he would not distinguish between himself and would have to feed the big fish.
The No. 53 ship has a nickname in the Defensive aircraft carrier strike group - Sulawi Mad Dog, which accurately and concisely describes the battle style of the ship's "Mad Dog" formed in Sulawihai. The captain of the No. 53 ship was called the Twitcher by the officers and soldiers of the enemy US aircraft carrier strike group, that is, every action of its actions is always unexpected. Like a Twitcher, no one can predict when his next action will happen and what action will be made.
Swinney made up his mind and walked to the sending machine and took it with a serious expression. Everyone's eyes were on Swinney. They were familiar with the commander of the aircraft carrier strike group, known for their calmness, caution, wiseness and boldness, and were known as the Nimitz-like naval commander.
At this time, everyone saw that Swinney actually showed a dead father-like expression, and decided to call the other captain himself, which had never been before.
It is extremely rare for the captain to personally call, let alone the commander of an aircraft carrier strike group. Swinney is a major general and Brad is a colonel. His military rank alone is one level away.
Swinney took a deep breath and spoke, "Ship 53, this is the US Navy's aircraft carrier. I'm requesting a call with the captain of your ship, and it's over."
After a full minute and fifty seconds, the No. 53 ship did not respond.
Li Hai heard it, but at this time he was discussing countermeasures with Chen Qiming and Chang Haizhou, so he ignored it. By the time Li Hai was thinking hard, Sweeney had made a second call.
Failure to respond for a long time can easily lead to misjudgment from the other party. Even Chen Qiming is a little anxious, at least he needs to communicate.
Sweeney made the third call, "Mr. Captain, I am Major General Sweeney, the commander of the USS Discomfort Strike Group, and request a dialogue with you."
The attitude was very low.
Li Hai's eyes finally returned to reality from a deep thought state. He steadily walked towards the communication station and took the sending machine from Wu Tong.
On the other side, Swinney almost lost his patience and was about to make his fourth call when Li Hai's voice came, "Discome, I am the captain of the 53rd ship, clear the runway, I want to board your ship and interview with your supreme commander!"
As soon as this sentence came out, let alone Swinni and others on the account, even Chen Qiming, Chang Haizhou and others were frightened by Li Hai's courage.
Ships are a mobile country, and ordinary ships are like this, let alone warships.
In the case of non-military exchange activities, having to accept the other party’s armed forces boarding the ship will definitely be regarded as a provocation of national sovereignty!
Specifically, carrier-based aircraft landed on each other's aircraft carrier decks. In history, only armies belonging to the same military alliance have appeared. Except for NATO countries, the US Navy aircraft carrier has not been boarded by aircraft from other countries.
Now, Li Hai made it clear that he wanted to "go to" the discomfort aircraft carrier, which was definitely an outrageous request for Swinney and others!
Swinney flatly refused without thinking, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Mr. Captain, we can communicate on the designated radio!"
He still suppressed his anger, otherwise there would be no such thing as the following sentence.
Li Hai gave everyone a reassuring look and said in a firm tone, "Your ship sank my fishing boat, and we have already grasped sufficient evidence. The dialogue channels are now open, but after today, I cannot guarantee that you can still talk to me!"
Swinney didn't understand.
Brad immediately contacted Chinese language experts in China through the advanced command and communication system, and asked him to quickly analyze the full meaning of Li Hai's words. Obviously, from the translation, they had already felt that there was something in Li Hai's words, which needed experts to analyze.
Another thing that makes people have to admit is that the command and communication system of the US military is still the most advanced and powerful in the world. When their warships arrive at any part of the earth's waters, they can obtain support, intelligence, technology, tactical guidance, etc. from all domestic resources in a very short time.
Soon, domestic Chinese language experts gave a positive reply: settle privately!
It is obvious that the Chinese language expert is a senior and well-known person with a good understanding of the Chinese language use environment.
Swinney and Brad subconsciously looked at each other, blinking their eyes, and both understood what each other meant - this was an opportunity to reduce responsibility.
Soon, the two of them turned to sadness - the price of doing so was to allow a Chinese Navy carrier-based helicopter to board the ship!
This is about to create history, but unfortunately, for the US Navy, this is probably a disgraceful history.
After Brad realized that as the captain of the unwell captain, he needed to bear the main responsibility, he most hoped that he could solve this matter in some way and not raise the matter to the level of diplomacy between the two countries. Once he reached that level, he must be the one who was pushed to sacrifice the flag.
He racked his brains to think. He was in his fifties and actually stimulated his potential. He tugged Swinney's sleeve in his eyes and signaled him to speak with a step.
The two walked to the secluded place, and Brad whispered, "I wonder, can we get the Captain on board the ship in a way that we cannot refuse but will not be challenged without forming sovereign dignity?"
"I thought about it." Swinney was obviously considering this possibility, he said, "We sent a helicopter to pick it up and not land on their decks, and let the captain board the plane through the rope ladder. This is the only way."
Brad widened his eyes, "As a weak man boarded the ship, do you think he might agree?"
Swinney was silent.
Brad shook his head and said, "Don't even think about this method. If you propose it, it will only annoy the captain."
"Do you have any way?" Swinney simply asked.
Brad's brain was spinning rapidly and his voice became lower, "We can do this..."
He expressed his thoughts in this way.
Swinney thought about it carefully and found that Brad's method is really clever, so you can try it! ()
