Chapter 131 Escort Mission Handover Ceremony
131 Escort Mission Handover Ceremony
The escort formation stayed at the port of the Kingdom of Palestinian for three days, and then set off to continue to move deeper into the ocean.
After walking forward for a while, Li Yu and his escort formation finally met the previous escort formation.
The last escort formation was the 169th formation. They completed the last escort mission and began to return.
According to convention, two formations must hold a grand handover ceremony.
At 10:00 a.m. on that day, the handover ceremony was held on the Linyi ship.
Representatives of officers and soldiers of the two formations were arranged on both sides.
A bright five-star red flag is hung directly in front of it.
There is a banner on each side, which reads "The maritime handover ceremony of the Nava Bay escort mission of the 169,568 escort formation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy."
The military band stood neatly in front of the national flag.
Soon, the military band played music.
Majestic and passionate military music sounded.
The guard of honor wearing white naval uniforms walked towards the national flag in two rows.
The guard of honor came to the front of the national flag and stood in two rows.
The commander shouted a command: "Turn left to right--turn!"
Bang!
The guard of honor rotated neatly.
The commander of the guard of honor shouted in a loud voice: "Form 169, Form 568, handover ceremony, start now! Turn left to right--turn!"
Bang!
The naval soldiers on both sides immediately turned around and faced the national flag in a solemn way!
"Play and sing the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!"
The band plays music!
"salute--"
Everyone started singing: "Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall! When the Chinese nation is at its most dangerous time, everyone is forced to let out the last roar..."
Li Yu opened his mouth and sang high.
In the past, whenever he could do it at this time, such as the school flag-raising ceremony, he could do it, but for some reason, he couldn't help singing out loud. Although his voice was still scary, the emotions in his heart were really excited!
Then there was a formal handover ceremony, first the handover of the military team.
The military chiefs of both sides of the military team stepped out of their respective queues and exchanged documents and important files.
Then there was the handover of the logistics team, the handover of the equipment team, and the signing of the formation leader.
The last item is to sing the Chinese People's Liberation Army military song!
Of course, the handover ceremony did not all end after it was over. After that, there was also exchange of experience between various departments. The two batches of escort formation command post personnel exchanged on the aspects of taking on the task of escort, foreign military cooperation and exchanges, escort training, political work and rear-mounted support.
Li Yu and his special operations team sat with the special operations team of the 169th escort formation to exchange experiences with each other.
"Are you the captain?" Yang Lin, the captain of the special operations team of the 169 escort formation, looked at Li Yu, and was very puzzled.
This is not the first time the escort formation has gone out, but the captain of the special operations team in the previous escort was at least an old navy of about 27 or 28 years old, but this time...
The plum fish is too tender!
"Yes." Li Yu smiled and replied: "Did you suddenly remember a sentence: People should not behave like appearances, and the sea water should not be measured!"
"..." The other party opened his mouth and couldn't speak anymore, and he didn't know how to answer.
The saying that people should not behave like a person is usually said to those who are ugly. Why does Li Yu feel weird when using this sentence at this moment? He is not ugly!
He quickly changed the topic and introduced their experience of going out for escort this time.
"We must pay enough attention to the pirates in the Nava Sea. We must not underestimate them, nor take them lightly. Especially now, they have almost touched our tempers. It is not easy to expel them to the truth." Yang Lin said solemnly.
"Why?" Li Yu was very surprised.
In his opinion, after so many years of escort, the pirates in the Nava area should have been pissed when they heard the name of the Chinese navy. Why did it mean that it was not easy to expel them?
Hearing Li Yu’s question, Yang Lin smiled bitterly and said to the truth: “For pirates, our means are very limited and we can only expel them. Unlike some countries, we can directly kill them. We—unless we can use force in a very special situation, we will mainly expel them! After so many years of competition, those pirates have already figured out our temperament and know our methods. They all know that our Chinese navy will not shoot and kill people indiscriminately, so..."
Understood!
Li Yu suddenly realized.
The Chinese Navy generally does not directly kill pirates during escort, at most it is to expel them. There are many reasons for this. First, it shows that China respects international law very much. Second, the formations we currently send are not enough to carry out rescue or combat missions in other countries' fields, and we also have obvious lack of intelligence and surveillance capabilities, as well as air combat cover. Third, we do not have any combat experience, especially in anti-piracy operations. If the relevant operations end in failure, we may convey a message to the outside world.
The formation has weak combat capabilities, which will destroy long-distance deployment. Fourth, any anti-pirate combat operation may make Eastern and Southern Asian countries feel uneasy, especially those countries with borders and disputes in the South Sea and China; Fifth, if the island is killed, it may cause strong revenge from pirates, which will cause greater psychological pressure and safety hazards to nearby merchant ships. Based on the above factors, when we encounter pirates during escort, they are basically expelled, and they will use force unless they have to.
The pirates have figured out the temper of the Chinese escort formation, so they naturally are no longer afraid.
Pirates are not afraid of heaven or earth, and they can be ignored for money and life, and now they are even more lawless.
So this puts a lot of pressure on the escort formation.
After listening to Yang Lin's introduction, Li Yu frowned and became tighter and tighter: "Captain Yang, as you say so, then we can only sit and wait for death?"
Yang Lin smiled: "Of course we can't sit and wait for death. The demon is one foot taller and one foot taller. After so long accumulation, we have also gained rich experience. First, we should start first and we must not give them the opportunity to get close! Second, we must make full use of various non-military means, such as knocking bombs, stun bombs, high-pressure water guns, blade nets, etc.; Third, seize every opportunity to carry out anti-pirate propaganda on passing ships, and even actively conduct anti-pirate training on them, such as laying blade nets on the side of the ship."
Yang Lin explained one by one, Li Yu listened carefully, and sometimes took notes. His appearance made the other party look at him with admiration!
After hearing this for a while, Li Yu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Captain Yang, ask you a question, have you ever used stinky bombs in anti-pirate operations?"
Stinky bomb?
Yang Lin was stunned for a moment.
In 2001, the United States began to develop a stench bomb that could dispel enemy troops and mobs.
As an important part of the U.S. non-destructive weapon, odor bombs can help police deal with large-scale crowd riots, while minimizing the risk of police and public casualties.
During the recent EU summit, riots among protesters had left riot police helpless, but the effect was amazing after using stinky bombs.
If you use stinky bombs when expelling pirates... this is a good idea!
This Li Yu has a big idea!
