Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 637 Submarine Formation

637 Submarine Squadron

That evening, Ye Qingshan held a low-key celebration at the base for the officers and soldiers participating in the exercise.

We can't make a big fuss about it, otherwise if the Americans find out, it would be a slap in their face.

During the celebration, other fleet officers and soldiers were singing and dancing on the playground.

A lieutenant colonel officer quietly walked to the beach, feeling the cold sea breeze, looking depressed.

“Sun Jiaming, everyone else is celebrating.

Why did you come here alone? "

Sun Jiaming was startled by a sudden voice coming from behind.

But he was familiar with the voice, so he quickly turned around and saluted: "Commander."

The person who came was Ye Qingshan.

He smiled and put down Sun Jiaming's saluting hand, and also saw the frustration in Sun Jiaming's eyes.

So he said, "Why, are you blaming me in your heart?"

"Commander, I dare not."

"Oh, you don't dare yet.

Your expression almost says, "Blame me."

"Commander, I really didn't.

I just feel that our submarine fleet is not taken seriously by you at all..."

At the end of his speech, Sun Jiaming's voice became lower and he didn't dare to continue.

Tonight, he was indeed very depressed, so he dared to speak his true feelings in front of Ye Qingshan so boldly.

The reason why Sun Jiaming was depressed was simple.

As one of the first fleet officers who was sent by Ye Qingshan to the US fleet for study and training, along with Wang Chuying and others.

Wang Chuying and Sun Jiaming are two of the best among the first batch of naval cadets.

After the expeditionary fleet was established, Wang Chuying served as the commander of the surface fleet, while Sun Jiaming was assigned by Ye Qingshan to the underwater submarine formation as commander.

But now, the surface fleet commanded by Wang Chuying has not only made great achievements in the Coral Sea.

The live-fire exercise that ended during the day even won against the American elite naval aviation squadron, which vindicated and brought honor to their expeditionary fleet.

However, looking at their submarine fleet, they can still only conduct training.

No one will know if you have not accomplished anything.

This made Sun Jiaming, who was always proud and arrogant, feel extremely depressed.

"Why don't you say anything? Keep going.

Let him hear how many complaints you have in your heart."

Seeing that Sun Jiaming stopped talking halfway through his speech, Ye Qingshan looked at him and shouted with a cold face.

“No more.

Anyway, our submarine fleet is raised by a stepmother."

Sun Jiaming argued with Ye Qingshan out of anger.

"You kid, you still have this bad temper.

Initially, I transferred you to the underwater submarine formation because of your strong professional skills.

It's also to temper your bad temper."

Sun Jiaming said nothing.

"Why, you're not convinced?

Seeing Wang Chuying's continuous meritorious service, his military rank is higher than yours. Are you jealous of him?"

"I do not have."

"Okay, stop looking so sad.

Come with me and I will tell you about my plans for your submarine fleet."

"profound."

Hearing what Ye Qingshan said, Sun Jiaming hurriedly followed Ye Qingshan and strolled on the sea.

"How is the training of your submarine fleet going now?"

"all is well.

At present, our submarine fleet has five S-class submarines retired by the Americans, and our soldiers use these five submarines for training on a daily basis.

Our submarine fleet currently has more than 700 soldiers..."

Sun Jiaming introduced to Ye Qingshan the situation of their underwater submarine formation.

Compared with the size of the surface fleet that Wang Chuying is responsible for, the underwater submarine fleet that Sun Jiaming is responsible for is indeed much smaller.

After all, submarines do not need as many soldiers to operate as underwater warships.

“The American S-class submarines had many flaws when they were first designed.

I bought these five retired S-class submarines mainly for you to use for training.

Later, I will replace your submarine with a more advanced one.

You should train well during this period.

Don't let the time come when I replace you with more and better submarines, but you don't have enough manpower and don't know how to use them.

If that's the case, I'll fire you."

"Commander, really?

Are you really going to give us more and better submarines?"

Sun Jiaming was a little surprised.

"Nonsense, when have I ever broken my word? Tell me."

"No, no, the commander always keeps his word."

A smile finally appeared on Sun Jiaming's depressed face.

"Don't be too anxious, kid.

The situation of your underwater submarine formation is different from that of the underwater fleet commanded by Wang Chuying.

If the surface fleet commanded by Wang Chuying is the sword in my hand.

I put it out in the open for use in joint operations with the US Pacific Fleet.

Then, your underwater submarine fleet is my hidden sharp dagger.

If it doesn't come out of the sheath, then it's fine. But if it comes out of the sheath, blood will be

So use it with caution, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

In particular, those S-class submarines you have now are all junk discarded by the Americans.

Driving them into battle would be like sending yourself to death.

I have worked so hard to gather a group of submarine officers and soldiers like you, how can I let you sacrifice in vain?

Even if we let you go into battle, it must be after we equip you with new submarines.

Understand? "

Ye Qingshan comforted Sun Jiaming earnestly, saying that this was a sharp dagger hidden in his hand.

We must not be corroded by rust in advance, and we must do a good job in ideological work.

“Yes, Commander.

I see.

I misunderstood the commander before. I will reflect on this.

Next, I will guard against arrogance and impatience and train the soldiers well."

Sun Jiaming stood up straight and seriously admitted his mistake.

But in the end, he did not forget to ask Ye Qingshan: "Then Commander, when can we have our new submarine?"

"Maybe in half a year."

Ye Qingshan knew that he had to give Sun Jiaming some time to make him feel at ease.

Otherwise, the other party might think that you are fooling him.

Ye Qingshan gave an estimated time.

But in fact, Ye Qingshan himself was not sure whether he could deliver a new submarine in half a year.

Because, at this moment, the new submarine planned by Ye Qingshan is actually nowhere to be seen.

It's still in his dead phone.

Whether it can be manufactured depends on whether Ye Qingshan’s trip to the United States and subsequent itinerary will go smoothly.

"Half a year later!"

Although Sun Jiaming was a little disappointed, he thought that half a year did not seem to be a long time.

It is still unknown when this war will end.

Half a year later, if their submarine fleet is really equipped with new submarines, they will have the opportunity to make achievements.

Sun Jiaming didn't ask how advanced the new submarine that Ye Qingshan mentioned could be.

We just need to catch up with the level of the "Gargoyle-class" submarines that the Americans are equipped with at the moment.

However, Sun Jiaming didn't know that the "Garg-class" submarines equipped by the Americans at this time were not up to standard in Ye Qingshan's eyes.

If Ye Qingshan wanted the Americans' current 'Gar-class submarines', he could have talked to Frank about it before.

In the end, the problem will probably be solved by buying a few ships from the Americans.

But Ye Qingshan did not do so.
