Chapter 184: Make a plan

Robert was very satisfied with his tactics. The information from the superiors said that the other party might be a nuclear submarine sold to China by the Soviet Union. He was also very clear about the level of the other party's submarine. They could make a patrol attitude to confuse themselves after discovering their "Los Angeles"-class nuclear submarine. Therefore, Robert simply used a trick, pretended to be fooled, turned around, and secretly monitored the Soviet submarine. If the other party was really sold to China, he would definitely turn around again after he left. If that was the case, Robert began to be proud, so that he could prove the advantages and disadvantages of two types of nuclear submarines of the same class.

At this point, Robert actually had a personal idea. If this nuclear submarine was sold to China by the Soviet Union, the personnel driving the nuclear submarine would definitely not be Soviets, because the Chinese military would not allow non-military personnel to appear on a nuclear submarine equipped with identification signals and confidential communication machines, let alone Soviets. It could only be driven and operated by Chinese sailors. If China does not have a nuclear submarine of this level, the driving proficiency of Chinese sailors is definitely not as good as that of American sailors. If the two sides really fight, the outcome can be imagined. Robert just saw it.

By this point, if his plan succeeds and the nuclear submarine turns around, it can be confirmed that the nuclear submarine is indeed driven by Chinese sailors. Then he can use some means to demote the "Akula" that is the same level as "Los Angeles"! and complete the order given by the superior: intercept them! He is looking forward to that if this is really an "Akula" driven by Chinese sailors, he will be fully confident of making an attacking attitude first, letting the nuclear submarine be disarmed and surrender to himself! At this time, Robert seemed to see the Lieutenant General's general beckoning him.

Time passed slowly, every minute was so long, and half an hour passed. Robert discovered that "Akula" did not turn around and drive back towards China as he imagined, but was still driving towards Vladivostok. Robert's heart was depressed as time passed. He did not think that his secret surveillance would be discovered by the other party, but he could not help but doubt whether the other party really discovered his surveillance behavior.

After having this idea, Robert immediately contacted the sonar room: "Did the sonar room discover the monitoring behavior of the other party's nuclear submarine on us?" If the other party is also monitoring him, then his own tricks may have miscarriage. This kind of question is actually not necessary. Generally, when the other party is monitored by the other party, the sonar room will definitely feedback it to the command room as soon as possible. He asked such a question in this way, which was simply unnecessary. But Robert was too worried and asked one more question to confirm his thoughts.

"Return to the captain, the enemy stopped monitoring us since we turned around and left. Our monitoring behavior did not arouse their reaction. They still maintained their speed and angle and headed towards Vladivostok!" The sonar soldiers immediately returned the relevant information to Robert.

After hearing this, Robert sat heavily on the chair and sighed: "Is this really a damn Soviet? Is it really a Soviet nuclear submarine patrol routinely? Maybe they are also using tricks and pretending to be fooled? But this is unlikely! How could the Chinese sailors know my plan without the experience of confronting us? But what if..." Robert had a headache and it was difficult to make an absolute judgment for a while.

After thinking for a while, Robert ordered all the submarine sailors: "All personnel continue to maintain their current behavior, continue to sail towards the Tsushima Strait, maintain secret monitoring of Soviet nuclear submarines! and wait for further orders at any time!" Robert had decided to keep it for a short period of time. If the other party did not look back, it was time to go forward for further testing.

Cheng Bingyan was working tremblingly in the sonar room. He knew that after cutting off the active sonar, he would not be able to determine the location of the opponent's nuclear submarine. It is very likely that the opponent's nuclear submarine had already transferred the route and was catching up. If the opponent's submarine opened the torpedo launch chamber behind his nuclear submarine, and even launched a torpedo at the nuclear submarine he was in... It is impossible to detect these actions without active sonar monitoring, so the result could not be imagined. But he knew his responsibilities and fulfilled his tasks faithfully was the primary priority. Moreover, using passive sonar as much as possible to capture the other's surveillance behavior will also help whether his nuclear submarine is still safe.

"Report to the captain! The enemy's nuclear submarine's orientation is unknown, the direction is unknown, the speed is unknown, the movement is unknown, and the passive sonar has not captured the enemy's surveillance behavior!" Cheng Bingyan would make a detailed report to the command room every five minutes so that the captain could make the correct decision. Since the "Los Angeles" nuclear submarine changed its course, he has not found any surveillance behavior of the other party, as if they had really given up tracking themselves.

"Continue to keep monitoring!" Xu Hui from the command room ordered.

Political Commissar Wu Shenglin was also in the command room at this time. It was the tenth time he had heard such a report in the past half hour. This time, he finally couldn't help but say to Xu Hui: "Captain Xu, the other party has obviously given up on tracking us. We can't drive forward. If we drive again, we will return to Vladivostok. Our mission this time is to drive the nuclear submarine back, not to give up the opportunity because of a moment's judgment! What if they really give up on tracking us and we missed this opportunity, and when we return to the air again, we just happened to meet them again?

Repeatedly, when will it take to complete the task? Or can they judge our intentions from the next time they appear under their noses? Or may our intelligence department use this time to find out our intentions because we are exposed to their noses? Then we may never be able to drive out of Vladivostok! So, Captain Xu, we cannot give up this opportunity. I think it is necessary for us to transfer the route! A certain danger is certain, but we cannot be afraid of a little danger! Captain Xu, please consider my suggestions!"

After hearing this, Xu Hui shook his head and said, "If this is the other party's plan to deceive the enemy, then when we go back, we will fall into the trap!"

"But... Captain Xu, what if it wasn't their plan to confuse the enemy?" Wu Shenglin mainly saw that the submarine was driving back and forth, and was getting further and further away from the mission of his sailors, and he felt more and more anxious.

In fact, Xu Hui also thought Wu Shenglin's words made sense. If Wu Shenglin's guess was true, then his nuclear submarine would probably be stared at by the US military forever and would never be able to drive out of Vladivostok. Xu Hui, who was a little difficult to make a decision, turned to Mihail who was standing beside him and asked about his opinion: "Captain Mihail, the sonar room has given up on the surveillance of the enemy for more than half an hour, and has not found any signs of the enemy's surveillance. Are we..."

"No!" After listening to the translation, Mihail firmly opposed: "Please believe my judgment. We must wait until they appear again! Since they choose to confuse us with strategies, we will use the tricks to do what they want! They will definitely appear by our side! This will definitely happen, please believe me! I think they will come soon!"

"Quick? How long will it take?" Wu Shenglin couldn't help but retort before Xu Hui's answer: "If we drive back to Vladivostok, they haven't appeared yet? Technical Director Mihail, you should be clear that our mission this time is to drive the nuclear submarine back, not to play with the US nuclear submarine! Please be responsible for your words!"

"Just based on my experience, they should hold on for another thirty minutes, and after thirty minutes, they should rush up!" Mihail pondered for a moment and said. The reason why he could say these words was mainly because Wu Shenglin's skepticism towards him and he didn't like Wu Shenglin very much.

"Thirty minutes! We didn't turn on the active sonar. Who knows if they are by our side now, and have even opened the torpedo launching compartment and aimed at us?" Wu Shenglin said with concern.

"First, don't think of our 'Akura' so badly. As long as they are within the range of our passive sonar detection, we will definitely know as long as they want to find us! Second, don't think of them so badly, they are all cowards, and they dare not fire at us!" Mihail said confidently.

"Thirty minutes? That's good! No matter what the result is in thirty minutes, we will return to the flight immediately!" Wu Shenglin said angrily. In his opinion, Mihail's so-called speculation was simply nonsense, completely unfounded, and very irresponsible. He felt that Mihail, a Soviet man, could not understand the urgent desire of their Chinese sailors to complete the task, just as when they first started training, they did not think of taking care of the Chinese sailors' urgent desire for training content.
