Chapter 1039 Exposed (Third update, please subscribe)
In fact, the navy's ocean voyages are very hard. For large ships with a displacement of thousands of tons or tens of thousands of tons, ocean voyages are just hard work, but for small ships, ocean voyages are not just hard work.

It can even be said that every ocean voyage is a test, a tribulation!
For a submarine with a displacement of only more than 700 tons, any ocean voyage is an extremely difficult voyage, which requires extremely intense work in every combat position.Officers and sailors stayed for dozens of days in cabins full of gasoline and all kinds of strange smells.

In order to be able to carry out ocean voyages, the narrow cabins are filled with various supplies, and even the folding beds of the sailors are also filled with various canned food and the like.

For submariners, every day of ocean voyage is an unprecedented test.But it is precisely because of this that they are looking forward to the end of the voyage.

In the evening of this day, the No. 053 submarine slowly sailed into the naval base on New Kinmen Island in the Success Islands. The officers and sailors stood on the deck, looking at the approaching trestle with full expectation. Relax.

Not to mention the drinks in the tavern outside the naval base, even those dark-skinned Melanesian girls in the tavern, in their imaginations, have also become Diao Chan-like beauties.

Not to mention ordinary sailors, even Wang Bangji, the captain, is full of expectations for the relaxation after going ashore. Of course, as an officer, he will definitely not go to those ordinary taverns, and there are officers near the base. Clubs, where there are bands, fine wines and, of course, dancing girls of all kinds.

While everyone was waiting with anticipation for the happy time after landing, they were surprised to see a lot of military police standing on the trestle, led by a few military judges.

As soon as he landed, the military judge stepped forward and said.

"Captain Wang, I am the military judge of the base, and now, under the order of the Ministry of the Navy, please accept the investigation of you and your crew."

……

Ye Yushi shook his head and said.

"A total of twelve mines, ten 50cm caliber eight-year war mines, and two 50cm caliber training mines."

In the face of the military judge's request, Wang Bangji could only cooperate one by one, explaining the process and steps of the training of Lei Cao.Listening to his explanation, the military judge asked again.

In the office of the Director of Naval Intelligence, Zhang Dongke, standing in front of the Director, reported one by one.

Facing the questioning of the military judge, Wang Bangji replied.

"What is unexpected now is that the killer weapon of the Imperial Navy has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the British can imitate torpedoes based on it. From then on, torpedoes are no longer a secret."

"That's right. According to the information we have so far, the torpedo was discovered off the coast of Queensland, where it is close to the East Australian warm current. This warm current originates in South America and is the left branch of the Pacific South Equatorial warm current. It goes south along the east coast of Australia. Finally, it merged into the westerly wind and drifted. I guess it should be when the navy was training near the coast. After Cao Lei disappeared, he had been floating along the ocean current. He was finally discovered by British fishermen and salvaged. Because it was an industrial product, it attracted the attention of the local navy,” Zhang Dongke said. He began to tell the information he possessed one by one.

Pointing to an upholstered armchair next to the large desk, Ye Yushi stared at his deputy director with piercing eyes.

Sitting in front of the director, Zhang Dongke replied directly.

"Captain, I'm not very familiar with submarines, but I know it's a warship that fires torpedoes from underwater. Can you explain your submarine's weapons?"

"So the training drill is a torpedo specially used for training?"

"So during the training, did you lose any of the Cao Lei?"

"Unexpected?"

"Well, how many old torpedoes did you carry?"

"Shipping back to England!"

"Then please explain how the mine-launching training works."

What exactly happened?
Soon, they were taken to the military judge's office.

"To be honest, it's quite unexpected that it was not salvaged until now."

"Now, the local British navy has conducted a preliminary analysis on it. The analysis proves that this is a secret underwater weapon made by Ming Dynasty. At present, the London side has received a report from Queensland. I guess they will send the torpedo soon. Send it back to mainland England for further analysis..."

"No. All the torpedoes are on board!"

"You!"

"Our mission for this voyage is a normal adaptive ocean cruise, which is a must for all Navy warships. During the voyage, we need to complete 24 simulated attacks, including six mine-operating and launching trainings."

"You only have two mines in total. How did you carry out six trainings?"

"The navy can't go out to sea, right? A navy that doesn't go out to sea is still a navy? Well, tell me everything you know about the British torpedo acquisition."

"What happened?"

"Yes, Director, but you and I both know that all secrets will not be secrets forever. Torpedoes... always need training. As long as they are launched, they may be lost. The same is true, after launch , Ocean currents and waves may take away unpowered torpedoes, and sometimes there will be problems with dye bottles."

Wang Bangji said in surprise, and the sailors also looked at these military judges and gendarmes in surprise.

Ye Yushi directly made a gesture.

"So, the officers should understand that a secret is a secret. If they want to keep it secret, they shouldn't go to sea for training at all. They should find a big lake and train in the lake. Even if they lose it, it's in our own territory superior!"

After a pause, Zhang Dongke said.

"The torpedoes were not lost recently. Based on current information, it is speculated that what the British got was the 6-year-old training torpedo."

"According to the report of the Navy Submarine Force and the Lightning Strike Force, they lost 13 training torpedoes during the six-year training training period. Those torpedoes that lose power will float around with the ocean currents. No one knows. They will float there, and I don't know if they will fall into the enemy's hands..."

Order from the Admiralty?

"After the torpedo is launched, it needs to be recovered. When it is launched, the control mine will release yellow dye to mark the navigation track. We will follow the torpedo to find it, and then recover it. After recovery, we only need to use the air pump to fill in the compressed air. Refill the dye and it can be used again."

“053号艇在武器配备上艇艏4具和艇艉2具50cm口径的鱼雷发射管，携带10-12发鱼雷，甲板上有2门88mm炮。”

"Can you explain the mission of your voyage?"

"Yes."

"Then find a way to intercept it at sea."

"Intercept it?"

Zhang Dongke replied,

"Director, if my expectations are correct, the British will definitely send warships to transport the torpedo back. Our people have no chance to board the ship. Even if we send our submarines to intercept and sink him in the middle, it will lead to What kind of diplomatic crisis? After all, the whole world now knows that we have a secret underwater weapon, and if their warship sinks on the way, they will definitely know that we did it. Isn't this self-inflicted!"

In order to keep a secret, reveal a bigger secret?
