Chapter 1007: The Pacific Fleet Departs from Port

The Soviet Pacific Fleet was stronger than the US Seventh Fleet, but the US Seventh Fleet was only part of the US Pacific Fleet. The strength of the US Pacific Fleet could not be defeated by both Soviet Pacific Fleets, which was nearly half of the US Navy's strength.

As a person with normal IQ, Selov would not think that the main Pacific Third Fleet in Hawaii would really wait for the Soviet Union to beat the Seventh Fleet before coming out, so the distance of this threat should be neither far nor near. Moreover, if you choose the route, you should stick to China's territorial waters, which means you are just doing the same thing and arrive at the Indonesian waters first.

"I will forward it to the Ministry of Defense, so is this all for the next paragraph?" Chebrikov continued.

"For how to escalate the situation in the next stage, the Mediterranean Fleet needs to be dispatched." Serov closed his eyes and deduced, "The Mediterranean Fleet enters the Indian Ocean and rushed to Indonesia through the Suez Canal. The Fifth Fleet of the Persian Gulf will definitely move. One of the things that must be done is that the Suez Canal must be closed to the United States. I will leave this to Comrade Gromiko. If the Fifth Fleet leaves, let the rest go."

"I understand, General Secretary!" Chebrikov hung up the phone and drove directly to the Ministry of Defense to communicate with Marshal Akhromeyev. Only the Ministry of Defense can issue an order to dispatch the Red Navy.

On the other hand, while Selov put down the phone, the comparison of the power of the United States and the Soviet Union in the world emerged in his mind. It has to be said that the Soviet Red Navy is still a little worse. He must rely on Egypt to prevent the US Sixth Fleet from joining, otherwise this kind of luring the tiger away from the mountain would not succeed.

It is because the surface fleet of the US Navy is stronger than the Soviet Red Navy, but it is not impossible to confront it. The United States will not draw power on the Atlantic, but the Soviet Union cannot draw the Baltic fleet. With this calculation, Egypt's position is crucial.

Vladivostok, the capital of the Soviet Far East Coastal Krai, is Vladivostok. As the most important base of Russia and the Soviet Union in the Pacific, Vladivostok is the world's most sturdy coastal fortress. The Soviet Special Far East Army established a new coastal defense system in and around Vladivostok. All these fortifications cost the efforts of generations of Russian and Soviet engineers. Although now it has lost its military value, times have changed, and these pure fortifications have become less important.

Admiral Sberydonov, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, touched the fortress that was landing, with a complex look in his eyes. The world was changing so quickly. It took more than 20 years for the Red Navy to become the second largest navy in the world.

After the previous naval meeting, the generals who received the task quickly returned to their respective command centers for planning and arrangement. The new command was then encrypted through a password machine and sent to various combat units. The commanders will make adjustments according to this order to ensure that emergencies are handled after departure.

"Comrade Spylidonov, what are you thinking?" asked Admiral Pavlov, commander of the fleet aviation force.

"I was a little excited, but I didn't know where it came from. I didn't know what our General Secretary was going to do." Admiral Spylidonov pointed to Moscow and said, "We have received the order to leave the port, but there is no follow-up to this order. What is our purpose? Following the Seventh Fleet of the United States, but is this alert level too high."

"We, the General Secretary, should not predict it." Admiral Pavlov said lazily leaning against the bunker, "In fact, we have devoted our lives to the Red Navy. We have seen this naval force go from weak to strong. Today, we finally have the most powerful force to show off, no longer our well-trained naval soldiers."

This self-deprecation also made the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Navy General Spylydonov, laughed. Because the Red Navy had not expanded its army before the Great Patriotic War, its basic strength had not been expanded. The consequence of not expanding its army was that the organizational structure of the Red Navy did not appear to be chaotic and the quality of soldiers did not decrease. After the Great Patriotic War began, the Red Navy landed and fought land wars more powerful than the army, and the Red Navy went ashore became something that the Germans could not understand.

After laughing, Navy General Spylidonov calmed down and said, "We will leave the port at this time tomorrow, be prepared!" The blue water is so beautiful. In the eyes of the old navy, this is everything.

"Yes!" Admiral Pavlov also looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, maybe he was thinking nothing.

At night, a cocktail party was held in the Navy Club, but the hall was already very lively: hundreds of VIPs from the Navy were having fun conversations in groups, and the waiters in dresses shuttled between the crowd to deliver wine and fruit spots to the dignified ladies and elegant men. Looking around, the ladies' necks were dazzling jewelry, snow-white and plump breasts, and noble and elegant long skirts were gradually fascinating, while the men were wearing military uniforms to show their heroic spirit.

Selov always believed that if there was a military branch that was relatively separated from the masses, it would definitely be the navy. These people who always emit hormones to the sea could do anything. Moreover, this tradition was passed down from the Russian Empire, and the navy was not affected too deeply by the Great Purge.

If Selov had let him know that the Pacific Fleet was preparing to relax the day before going to sea, he might not understand this group of soldiers too much. On the contrary, he might be dismissed.

Vladivostok this month is not cold, at least for those who live here all year round. On the streets of the city, sailors are intertwined with pedestrians. As a military city, Vladivostok scenes are not uncommon. The port not far away is decorated with gray painted and red decks, the Soviet Pacific fleets arranged neatly in the port.

At this time, the Soviet Red Navy had reached the strongest state in history. Two Kiev-class aircraft carriers, one Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, two Kirov-class battlecruisers, and four Glorious-class cruisers. The strength is far superior to the Seventh Fleet of the United States in Japan. On the deck of the Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, the outline of the MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft can also be seen.

At 7 o'clock the next night, the Vladivostok Naval Command, the capital of the Far Eastern Coastal Krai, received a telegram from Moscow, with two people signing it, Selov, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and Marshal Akhromeyev, Minister of Defense.

"The Red Flag Pacific Fleet is divided into two parts. The submarine divisions leave the South Kuril Islands and enter the Pacific Ocean, including aircraft carriers, surface fleets dominated by battlecruisers and some submarine divisions heading south to travel through the Tsushima Strait. Pass the East China Sea and the South China Sea to Indonesia."

Gorosov, chief of staff of the Pacific Fleet, looked at the telegram silently, "Tsukema Strait?"

"What's wrong? Don't be superstitious? Even if the Japanese Navy is attacking us overnight, it doesn't matter. The General Secretary will turn it into a nuclear-polluting area!" Navy General Spylidonov smiled. What era is this? A US anti-submarine brigade still wants to find a picture? The Seventh Fleet is not an opponent of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, let alone the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force?

"All warships are on standby, right?" Admiral Spylidonov nodded when he saw the chief of staff, "Then let's board the ship too! Target the South China Sea." The entire Soviet Pacific Fleet left the port in a mighty manner, leaving in the night. Early the next morning, the heavily guarded military port was already empty.

This time, the Soviet Pacific Fleet was dispatched in full swing. The fleet had just left the port and scattered the area of ​​the fleet. Three aircraft carriers were in the middle, and two Kirov-class battlecruisers were covering the flanks. Various air defense and anti-ship missiles were lined up like javelins, making people not doubt the threat at all.

The next day, the Japanese local radar station discovered this huge fleet that was heading south. The reconnaissance plane of the air force base immediately took off and the photos sent back were shocked by everyone. This was the entire property of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. It was heading south at a very fast speed to head straight for the Tsushima Strait.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese did not dare to neglect because the Seventh Fleet had left the port and could only report the situation to the Americans immediately. A few minutes later, the Pentagon learned about the news.

"The Soviet Red Navy left Vladivostok? What are they going to do? They thought they could defeat the US Navy?" Reagan seemed to feel like he had a joke, someone challenging the United States on the ocean?

"Mr. President, the Soviets should be supporting the Indonesians." Defense Minister Frank Carucci sighed. Apart from being stubborn, his president is indeed not very good in some areas.

"Then we have to warn the Soviet Union that I asked the Secretary of State to issue a note to the Soviet Union to explain the abnormal mobilization of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, and at the same time mobilized an aircraft carrier battle group from the Third Fleet to rush to Japan." After receiving the reminder, Reagan immediately made targeted deployments, and the Japanese still need to take care of their emotions.

The Pentagon immediately sent the US Pacific Fleet Command in Hawaii to order an aircraft carrier battle group to set off to the Sea of ​​Japan. To be honest, if the Soviet Red Navy was preparing to attack Japan, it would be too late.

The actions of the Soviet Pacific Fleet could not be hidden from the Americans, nor could the actions of the American Pacific Fleet have not been hidden from the Soviet Union, especially Hawaii, which was not a possible place to keep it secret. Selov quickly knew Reagan's response.
