Han Yu knew very well that it was biased to judge the combat capability of a ship based solely on the hard weapons on the surface.

After all, we have entered the 21st century, and now is the information age. The Gulf War made the world know what information warfare is. Now, whenever military command is mentioned, it is C4I. It can be said that today, when information warfare capabilities are becoming increasingly important, soft warfare capabilities is no less important than hard weapons. In a sense, it is even more critical than hard weapons.

In other words, the Shen Zheng ship is not only a guided missile destroyer, but also a large command ship!

As early as the development, it was positioned as a maritime joint mobile formation command ship, with a command scale of seven surface battle groups, five submarines and two batches of bombers. It also has amphibious combat command capabilities.

Because of this, there are two command centers on the Shen Zheng ship, one is the command center of the ship itself, and the other is the maritime joint maneuver formation command center!

No need to ask, you know that it is full of military secrets.

He didn't ask about things he shouldn't, and Han Yu didn't want to know about things he shouldn't know, so he visited so many places but didn't visit the Maritime Joint Mobile Formation Command Center, which is now the visiting formation command post.

Just as Han Yu stood on the supply ship that was much larger than the Shen Zheng ship and looked at the Shen Zheng ship in the distance, Political Commissar Shen was also looking at the supply ship through the porthole in the command post of the Shen Zheng ship.

The command post is very large, equipped with a formation command station, a sea command station, an air command station, a submarine command station, an aircraft guidance station, an electronic warfare command station, an amphibious warfare command station, an intelligence editing station, a communications command station, and a system monitoring station. There are 11 command stations and other various types of command stations.

A dozen officers on duty were busy sitting in front of the monitors of military computers and various equipment, and the beeps from the instruments kept ringing.

The Shen Zheng Ship is both the flagship and the most advanced ship of the South China Sea Fleet. Chief of Staff Zheng has been on board the ship almost every month since it was equipped to the fleet.

He knows very well that it is not easy for the new ship to achieve combat effectiveness, and it is even more difficult for the new ship to become the joint mobile formation command ship with the strongest command capabilities and the largest command scale in the Chinese Navy, so he pays special attention to information combat technology.

The officers in the command post are all young and highly educated personnel carefully selected from the entire fleet. After more than a year of hard study and continuous training, they have finally mastered how to operate these advanced electronic equipment as required by their superiors.

However, limited to the current level of military electronic technology, there are still many shortcomings in information operations. For example, the command center is not equipped with a navy standard database and cannot communicate with the shore-based command center in operational plans. Another example is that the data link system is not advanced enough, its transmission rate is only 4800bps, and the encryption and decryption speed is very slow, etc.

After listening to the reports from each command podium, he quickly walked to the porthole: "Political Commissar, what are you looking at?"

"Look at Xianyu, he and Xiao Wu are watching us on the supply ship."

"He is an observer and should be at the command post. Why did he go to the supply ship with Xiao Wu!"

Political Commissar Shen laughed and said, "He won't come to the command post."

Chief of Staff Zheng asked in a low voice: "That kid doesn't want to see us and feels uncomfortable with us?"

"That's not true." Political Commissar Shen knew his former "subordinate" very well and explained with a smile: "He didn't dare to come because he was worried that he would not be able to get out after entering the command post."

"I won't arrest him. Besides, he is an observer appointed by the chief."

"He is afraid that he will know too much that he shouldn't know and that he will not be able to go back."

Chief of Staff Zheng was enlightened and asked, "He doesn't want to be a soldier or a real naval officer?"

"Um."

"Then what is he doing?"

"Not wanting to be an active-duty officer does not mean that he doesn't love the navy. As for why he doesn't want to be a soldier, as far as I know there are three main reasons."

Chief of Staff Zheng did not know Han Yu at first and was worried that Han Yu would not be qualified for the garrison liaison task, so he asked his superiors to ask the Ministry of Transportation to arrange for another ocean-going captain to come over.

When the chief announced that Han Yu would serve as an observer, the first thing Chief Zheng thought of was that although Han Yu was young, he had made outstanding achievements in flood fighting and rescue operations. He had also served as an observer during the joint sea-crossing combat exercise of Dongshan Island last year. He directly thought that the chief should be worried. Because the fleet hired another escort captain, Han Yuhui felt that his superiors did not trust him, so he temporarily appointed him as an observer in name only.

It wasn't until I met Team Leader Shen and chatted in private that I realized that Han Yu was actually a talent trained by the old leader after he transferred to the local area!

Director Feng had been working in the South China Sea Fleet before he changed his career, working his way from the youngest captain to the youngest full-time division cadre. When Director Feng was transferred to the Fleet Headquarters, Chief of Staff Zheng had just become the captain.

Because of this, Chief of Staff Zheng was very curious about Han Yu and asked in a low voice: "What are the three reasons?"

"The first is family reasons. He is already married. He has an elder and a younger son, so he can't leave. The second is economic reasons. He bought a commercial house in Donghai and borrowed a lot of loans from banks. The salary and benefits in the local area are higher than those in the army. If he really becomes a soldier, he will not be able to survive this life."

Team leader Shen smiled and continued: "Furthermore, he has been on his own since he joined the work at the age of sixteen, and now he is the 'Admiral of the Binjiang Navy', which is equivalent to being the 'top leader' all the time, and he has the final say. The troops have the final say. It’s different from other places, he would definitely not be used to being a soldier.”

Chief of Staff Zheng nodded: "I understand. He has better choices. There is really no need to be a soldier."

"He thrives in the local area. Leaders of the Ministry of Communications, provincial leaders, and city leaders all think highly of him. I didn't know it at first, but I didn't know it until last night. Even his wife is a deputy mayor of the Standing Committee of a county-level city. He’s grown up, he’s leading a team to attract investment in Guangzhou right now, a cadre like him definitely doesn’t want to be a soldier.”

"Thousands of troops are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. We should also reflect on how the army can attract talents and how to retain talents."

"In a thousand words, treatment is still the same. If the treatment of officers and soldiers can be improved, what kind of talents do you want?"

Improving the treatment of officers and soldiers is easy to say but not so simple to implement.

Chief of Staff Zheng was sighing secretly when a red light suddenly lit up behind him and a harsh siren sounded.

"what's the situation?"

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the engine room reported a leak in the boiler and insufficient power!"

"Organize rescue immediately."

"yes!"

…

News of the boiler failure soon reached the supply ship.

Staff Officer Wu understood the situation and frowned: "I don't know if it's serious or not. I'm really afraid of whatever comes."

How many days have you been out?

If it had to return due to a malfunction, or even require the base to send a rescue ship to tow it back, it would become an international joke!

Han Yu realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately took out his gloves and shouted: "Captain Wang, can you put the traffic boat down and send me back to the Shenzhen ship to see what's going on?"

Captain Wang of the supply ship was stunned, and turned to look at the rough sea: "Han Da, the wind and waves are so strong, the Shen Zheng ship is not a merchant ship, and it doesn't even have a pilot ladder. Even if they can get by, they can only put down a rope ladder." , it’s too dangerous to go like this.”

"I am both the first mate and the pilot of an ocean liner!"

"Han Da, I am responsible for your safety, and I want to ask for instructions and report."

"Just inform the officer on duty of the Shen Zheng ship. There is no need to alert the commander." For fear of Captain Wang's disapproval, Han Yu emphasized: "Isn't it just a landing at sea? I have seen storms bigger than this."

Captain Wang did not dare to agree and subconsciously looked at Staff Wu.

He studied marine engineering and had served on ocean-going ships. During his work in Binjiang, I don’t know how many 10,000-ton ocean-going ships the shipyards in Binjiang built.

Staff Officer Wu knew very well that in terms of professional level, the chief electromechanical officer of the Shen Zheng ship would probably only be Han Yu's apprentice. Han Yu might have been able to really help in the past.

He weighed the situation, gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Wang, release the traffic boat and send Han Da over."

Staff Officer Wu is not high-ranking, but he comes from the headquarters.

Captain Wang hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay, but you must pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Han Yu put on gloves and a life jacket, opened the hatch and ran down the stairs to the deck.

The supply ship was actually a special cargo ship. Han Yu ran to the small boat on the starboard side in one breath. After thinking about it, he grabbed the walkie-talkie of a naval officer. He looked back at the bridge and shouted: "Captain Wang, Captain Wang, I It’s Han Yu, if I remember correctly, the supply ship seems to be equipped with the spare parts needed for the engine room of the Shenzhen ship. Let the storage personnel be in place immediately and let the deck personnel be ready for dry supply on the port side at any time!”

Who is the captain?

Captain Wang hesitated for a moment, then thought that what he said made sense, and quickly said: "Copy that."

At this time, the small boat has been slowly lowered to the sea, like a leaf rising and falling with the waves, and even constantly bumping against the hull.

A navy soldier braved the sea breeze and slid down the rope.

The wind was too strong and the waves were too strong. People were blown like a top by the sea wind, and the position of the boat was constantly changing. The soldier held the rope tightly and kicked it several times, and finally found the right opportunity to jump into the boat.

Han Yu followed closely behind.

Staff Officer Wu was shocked by what he saw and wanted to go down together, but he had not received such training. Going down would only cause chaos for the officers and soldiers. If it fell into the sea, the commander-in-chief would even need to organize rescue forces. He could only hold on to the side of the ship and look down.

Han Yu jumped onto the boat, untied the safety rope, and signaled the soldiers to start the engine.

The soldier's driving skills were good. He turned on the engine, cranked up the power, held the steering column, and drove the boat quickly to the front, bypassing the bow of the supply ship and heading straight to the port side of the Shenzheng.

The Shen Zheng ship had already received the notification, and the watchman had ordered the officers and soldiers on the deck to lower the rope ladder.

Under the current sea conditions, it is not easy to get off the ship, and it is even harder to get on the ship.

Han Yu signaled the pilot to adjust the course, sail parallel to the Shenzhen ship, adjust the speed, and then slowly move toward the rope ladder.

"Han Da, the wind is too strong, it can't work!"

"Who says it can't work? Hold on tight and lean on it again."

"yes!"

A wave came over and Han Yu was turned into a drowned rat.

This wave also hit the rope ladder. Han Yu didn't bother to wipe his face, grabbed the rope ladder, shouted "Go", and climbed up the rope ladder.

The pilot of the small boat dared to leave. If he left, Han Da fell into the sea again. What to do then, he could only try to control the small boat and keep a safe distance from the hull as much as possible, and just watch from the side.

Han Yu clutched the rope tightly and stepped on the rope ladder with both feet, but was unable to climb up. His whole body was thrown to the hull of the ship like a sandbag by the strong wind.

Han Yu tried his best to control his body shape and avoid hitting his head.

Once, twice, three times!

He was thrown five or six times in a row, and it hurt every time.

"pull!"

"Han Da, hurry up."

"I know, hurry up."

"yes!"

With the help of the officers and soldiers of the Shen Zheng ship, Han Yu was finally pulled onto the deck.

He didn't bother to take a shower and change into clean clothes. He didn't even bother to check whether his painful elbow had been injured. He got up and ran toward the cabin while asking eagerly: "Steam leaked, is anyone injured?"

"No, it seems not."

"Who is directing the emergency repairs?"

"Captain of electromechanical equipment, the captain is here now."

"I know, you go about your business."

…

Chief of Staff Zheng could see everything that had just happened clearly from the bridge.

"Political Commissar, this guy is very hardworking."

"He has been law enforcement and rescue on the river since he started working at the age of sixteen. He has organized searches and rescues for no less than a hundred people, and he has organized rescues for probably no less than a hundred ships, large and small."

In terms of practical experience in this area, they are much better than you.

Team leader Shen thought about it and said, "Besides, he is really a pilot! Minister Feng said that he used to help Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau go to the Yangtze River Estuary to pilot foreign ships going to Binjiang Port. The wind and waves at the Yangtze River Estuary ship anchorage are not small. It’s dangerous every time you get on an outside wheel.”
