In fact, Admiral John Daniel's gloomy face had already explained everything. This Soviet Pacific Fleet, which had been following the Seventh Fleet, did make Admiral John Daniel feel a huge threat. Otherwise, he would not have been so angry. The two fleets facing each other at both ends of the strait had a clear understanding of the strength of each other.

In terms of strength, the US Navy can still fight two Soviet Red Navys, but in particular the Seventh Fleet and the Soviet Pacific Fleet, this is not the case. The Pacific Fleet is the second largest fleet in the Soviet Union. If it is not considered the Northern Fleet with nuclear submarines, the surface strength of the Pacific Fleet is almost the same as the Northern Fleet. The Seventh Fleet is almost the weakest fleet in the US Navy. Now, in terms of the surface ship comparison between the two sides, the Soviet Pacific Fleet has an absolute advantage of three to one.

More than 90 Soviet missile destroyers, a volley can indeed send the Seventh Fleet under its command into the sea. Admiral John Daniel also understands this in his heart. The Strait of Malacca limits the powerful combat capabilities of the US Navy.

But Admiral John Daniel also understood that once the Soviet Pacific Fleet took action, it would inevitably end up sinking. The most powerful thing about the Soviet Navy was not their traditional maritime power, but the group of bombers equipped by the Soviet Union to cover the Red Navy. With these counterfires, the Soviet Red Navy could exert its maximum combat capability. The current Soviet Pacific Fleet, like its own fleet, is not at its peak.

For the Soviet Navy Air Force, which has a huge group of "Counterfire" bombers, the biggest problem is not enough firepower, but how to track the US aircraft carrier formations on the vast ocean. Although the "Counterfire" combat power is strong, it must be targeted. Due to the instability of the ionosphere near the poles, the Soviet Union, located in high-latitude areas, could not effectively use sky-wave over-visual radars. The main means of tracking US maritime targets are radar ocean reconnaissance satellites and long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft. The Soviet Union's radar ocean reconnaissance satellites are notorious for carrying nuclear fuel.

The one that provides updated target data for the "Counterfire" bombers is the Tu-95 long-range electronic intelligence aircraft. These turboprops-driven large aircraft carry large fuel and have good fuel economy, and can cruise for a long time at sea to search for prey.

The most threatening group of counterfire bombers is not among the nearby pro-Soviet countries. Admiral John Daniel, who has such intelligence support, can slightly relieve his heart hanging in his throat.

The news that the two naval forces with similar tonnages but very different combat styles confronted each other quickly spread throughout the world. It soon caused two camps to criticize each other again. The countries of the Warsaw Pact camp accused the US Navy of playing maritime hegemony, the Seventh Fleet should make way for the Soviet Red Navy, and NATO accused the Soviet Pacific Fleet of tracking the US Seventh Fleet as very dangerous, and this kind of trailing may have serious consequences.

There has never been a winner in this kind of war of words. Everyone cares about their own interests and will not put themselves in their shoes. Especially when it comes to dignity, compared with European public opinion, the local American newspapers go further and encourage the US Navy to give the Soviet Union a powerful look and defeat this challenger who appears on the ocean.

The Pentagon will not respond to this military blind argument at all. The Strait of Malacca is not an ocean war. Once the war breaks out, there will be only one result. The two fleets die together, and then the world war breaks out.

Although the media war between the Soviet Union and the United States was fierce, it was far from the confrontation and could not feel the solemn atmosphere at the scene. Compared to the two camps fighting from afar, Singapore, which was in the middle, the fear in its heart had reached an uncontrollable point.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet in the east and the US Seventh Fleet in the west, two huge fleets have blocked the Strait of Malacca tightly. Since the morning, no ship has docked, which has made Singapore, a transit station, very embarrassed. Economic factors are just embarrassing. Compared with the economy, life is more important, because there are no ships docked, and the combat formations between the United States and the Soviet Union have been laid, the Singaporeans are in fear of the coming of war.

This confrontation soon passed for three days. In the past three days, the golden waterway in Malacca was in a stagnation and no cruise ship was docked. If there was any change, it was that the Soviet Pacific Fleet and the US Seventh Fleet were closer, and there was also news that Indonesia's anti-ship missile positions had been deployed.

Within three days, Singaporeans were doing nothing and could only live by reading newspapers and news. All TV shows and newspapers were talking about the affairs of the two fleets, without exception. No matter how they avoided, the clouds of war always shrouded on the heads of Singaporeans and lingered. This unprecedented pressure made every Singaporean feel heavy.

Sin Chew Daily lists the strength and combat plans of the two fleets of the Soviet Union and the United States in detail. It is pessimistic to predict that no matter who the Soviets or the Americans start first and how they fight back, as long as the war breaks out, Singapore, which is in the middle, will be affected. The Soviet Red Navy has always carried nuclear warheads to fight. As long as any missile hits Singapore, Singapore will become history, and the entire Singapore is only enough for one nuclear missile to explode.

"These superpowers do not take our voice seriously at all." A Singaporean said helplessly after reading the newspaper.

The narrow Strait of Malacca is originally a very lively golden waterway, with ships coming and going every day. It is these freight ships from various countries that feed Singapore in the Strait of Malacca. However, a few days ago, this golden waterway was empty except for the sound of waves, which made Singaporeans who are used to busy work very uncomfortable. It seemed that from a certain moment, the whole world abandoned Singapore.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew called on both the United States and the Soviet Union to cherish peace and resolve the problem through diplomatic means, but he did not receive any response from either side. Neither Admiral John Daniel nor Admiral Sberidonov took the feeling of Singapore to heart. For soldiers like them, such a small country has almost no weight.

"Chief, General Serov, commander of the Southern War Theater." Admiral Sberidonov received a domestic response among the flagship of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. He was not a desperate adventurer. He knew that domestic attitude was very important. Because the mission of the Pacific Fleet was related to military operations in Turkey, Serov was temporarily considered his boss.

"The General Political Commissar means to continue the confrontation." Before the Soviet Ministry of Defense responded, Admiral Sberidonov received support from Selov and asked him to contact Indonesian Indonesian ** as support.

The relationship between the Soviet Union and Indonesia was very good. After all, the Vietnam War had just ended. The Soviet Union, located in the cold zone, had to rely on Indonesia to provide many unique tropical products. The relationship between the two countries has always been very close. Moreover, most of the party members have become natives in Indonesia, and natives in Indonesia are obviously pro-Soviet.

"It seems that no matter what country's Belarus, the General Political Commissar, has no good impression of it." The Fleet Chief of Staff said with a smile from the side.

The Soviet Union's ideological authority was Suslov, and the second person in charge of this aspect was Andropov, so the relationship between the two was relatively complicated. In this case, Serov sometimes managed the ideological work of the military, and the political departments of the five major military branches all had to follow the opinions of the General Political Commissar. Admiral Spylidonov and other generals of the Pacific Fleet also attended meetings in Moscow.

Selov also specifically mentioned Singapore, comparing this city-state with Belarus overseas. Once you encounter it, don’t be polite. If you can educate them, you must educate them.

"Commander, the Seventh Fleet of the United States moved south and did not enter the Strait of Malacca." Just as they were talking about the Belarus issue, a staff officer came in to report, "What is our next step?"

What is it? Admiral Sberidonov picked up the microphone and ordered, "I am Sberidonov. Now I order the Pacific Fleet to enter the Strait of Malacca!" As the US Seventh Fleet turned, the Soviet Pacific Fleet slowly advanced, and many warships split the waves and entered the Strait of Malacca.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet then broke down in the Strait of Malacca, blocking the entire strait tightly. The ship led the direction of Singapore, and then sent people to the shore, requiring the use of Singapore's port for resupply. The Pacific Fleet no longer had fuel and could not return to the Soviet Union.

Of course this is just an excuse. Many countries can be found along the Soviet coast to help themselves complete this. Doing so just makes Singapore understand that don’t think that the US Navy can handle everything. In the future, the Soviet Red Navy will also appear here from time to time.

Faced with the request of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, Singapore, which was preparing to calm down, immediately cooperated and opened the port for the Soviet Red Navy to provide supplies. Admiral Sberidonov reported to Moscow that the confrontation between Malacca had been resolved because the US Navy changed its route and the Soviet Union won the victory.

After staying in Malacca for two days, the Soviet Pacific Fleet began to return. The confrontation in the Strait of Malacca was completely ended, but the impact of this confrontation was very far-reaching. Soon, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew publicly claimed that the Soviet Union was the controller of the Eurasian continent. If anyone is the most influential person in the world, it is Brezhnev, the general secretary of the Soviet Union.

On the same day, Selov announced that the first Armenian death site had been found along the Euphrates River. The wreckage at the scene exceeded 5,000, proving the existence of the Armenian Holocaust. (To be continued.).
