Chapter 643: Secretly Going Forward for Reconnaissance, Dark Sword No. Shows Its Strength
This scared the deputy captain, and the risk they were about to take would be huge.

This means that the 126-ton destroyer must keep moving forward and directly enter the territorial waters of the Donghuang tribe, and then use the optoelectronic reconnaissance system or the naked eye to conduct reconnaissance.

This would indeed enable the acquisition of more useful intelligence, but it would also put the warship at risk of being exposed.

But then again, radar detection alone cannot provide any valuable intelligence at this point in time.

So they have to weigh the pros and cons.

"Captain, isn't this too risky? We are very likely to be exposed."

The deputy captain said with great concern that they were carrying out a secret reconnaissance operation, and they focused on doing things stealthily and secretly.

Cao Youren shook his head slightly and said, "You can't get a tiger cub without risking it."

"Besides, during the first sea trial, General Su dared to drive the 052D, whose stealth performance was not as good as that of a -ton destroyer, deep into the waters of the East Wasteland Tribe to cause trouble, and directly blocked the gate of the East Wasteland Sea to fight. Are we, the real combat personnel, cowardly when it comes to our turn?"

Having carried out several sea trials with Su Dingping before, Cao Youren naturally became more and more courageous.

In his opinion, Su Dingping, the chief ship designer, was so bold, so why was he, a soldier, so timid? Wouldn't it make people laugh if he told others about it? It was even insulting to call Longxia soldiers.

Of course, without the weapons in his hands, he wouldn't dare to do so, and he would never have such an idea.

Now, he is the captain of the 126-ton destroyer, the chief military officer, and he is also driving an advanced warship that defines the third generation of missile destroyers on the blue planet.

If he is still so timid, is he still a soldier? He might as well go home, take a shower, and then switch to farming sweet potatoes. Why bother to occupy the toilet without doing anything?

The deputy captain was embarrassed by what he said. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then Captain, let's do it."

He knew that if he didn't change his mindset, he would lose face and would be no better than Su Dingping.

At this moment, the captain and the deputy captain reached a consensus.

In fact, they all have the confidence, that is, even if they are discovered, they can fully utilize the superior performance of the 10,000-ton destroyer and get rid of the enemy's pursuit and interception in time!

"Then do it!"

Cao Youren immediately gave an order, asking Ship 126 to continue advancing towards the Aleutian Islands.

Along the way, relying on its powerful radar and stealth capabilities, it repeatedly avoided the Donghuang Sea Self-patrol warships and coast guard ships of the Donghuang tribe.

Finally, they went from approaching the waters of the East Wilderness Tribe to entering the waters of the East Wilderness Tribe, and were continuing to go deeper with no intention of stopping.

On the other hand, the dark reconnaissance plane at an altitude of 26km continued to fly southward.

At the same time, Xie Zhenyu directly sent back the recorded information.

This naturally involves the use of the Beidou navigation satellite, which covers most of the sea areas in Dongzhou, to transmit information back. The destination is naturally not anywhere else, but the flight control center of the naval integrated military factory.

After receiving the relevant feedback investigation information, Professor Zhang and other technical personnel immediately interpreted it.

Soon, a large amount of video intelligence data was developed, and after rapid analysis, conclusions were quickly reached.

After Professor Zhang saw it, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly contacted Su Dingping.

Because he found some important information in these video intelligence materials that he had never obtained before, and it was a matter of great importance and could not be taken lightly.

After receiving the news, Su Dingping rushed here as soon as possible. As soon as he entered, he asked directly before he even sat down: "Professor Zhang, what did you find?"

"Reporting to General Su, we have conducted a preliminary investigation and found some deployment movements in Itoman City on the Aleutian Islands."

Professor Zhang quickly responded truthfully, then handed a few photos to Su Dingping who was sitting there, and motioned him to look at them carefully.

After receiving the photo, Su Dingping looked at it carefully. There were indeed many large-scale mechanical equipment working in Itoman City on the Aleutian Islands. It was obviously like a military base was under construction.

Looking at the large number of mechanical equipment, we can basically judge that the scale here is definitely not small.

However, he soon discovered something was wrong, as if it was a deliberate show for others to see.

"Something's wrong, Lao Zhang, come and take a look at this place?"

Su Dingping pointed it out immediately.

Professor Zhang and others quickly leaned over and saw a ship heading towards another place, which was obviously the wrong direction.

"See? This ship's trajectory is very suspicious."

"Quick, bring the map."

After Su Dingping pointed it out, he motioned Professor Zhang to get the map.

It didn't take long before the map was placed in front of the desk. Su Dingping began to search along the traces on the photo. He kept searching, simulating several routes, and finally found a location!
Sea Fish Island!
That’s right, the ship’s target was not the Aleutian Islands, but most likely Haiyu Island.

Once the island was pointed out, everyone became even more confused.

In any case, Haiyu Island is not the Aleutian Islands. It has been the territory of the Longxia tribe since ancient times. What does it mean that the ships of the Donghuang tribe are heading to Haiyu Island?

Went there to fish, that boat didn't look like a fishing boat at all.

Professor Zhang and others were a little confused at this moment, and couldn't figure out what the real purpose of the ship was?
They conducted various deductions and found that as long as they followed the ship's track and the direction the bow was facing, they knew that its destination was Haiyu Island, so the possibility of fishing was extremely low.

But they couldn't figure out why the ship went to Haiyu Island. Did they find something on Haiyu Island?

At this moment, Su Dingping also frowned and fell into deep thought.

If it were any other time, he might not have thought too much about it, nor would he have had any unrealistic ideas, but given the current tense situation, with the Eagle Tribe and the East Wasteland Tribe joining forces to target Long Xia, he would definitely take action.

In this way, any seemingly ordinary detail becomes very important and cannot help but make him suspicious.

There are differences between the present and the previous life, and this is something we should be vigilant about.

In his previous life, he remembered clearly that although the Donghuang tribe often went to Haiyu Island and declared its ownership, it was purely a clownish act and caused a lot of jokes, but most of the time it was relatively peaceful.

Are they making such a big fuss now just to declare that they want to completely occupy Haiyu Island?
Su Dingping didn't believe that at this critical juncture, the other party would do such despicable things that were not worthy of being shown in public.

After thinking for a long time, he still didn't gain any enlightenment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Contact Xie Zhenyu immediately and ask him to go to Haiyu Island for investigation."

"Hurry up." The next moment, Su Dingping directly issued a new order.

"clear."

Professor Zhang immediately took the order and activated the communication equipment to contact Xie Zhenyu on the Dark Sword No. 1.

At this time, Su Dingping did not rest, but called Wan Long over.

"Lao Wan, send all these video materials to the chief on a special plane."

"There are some deployment information of the East Wilderness tribes in here, which is very important to us."

Wan Long's heart suddenly trembled. He took the relevant video materials in the cowhide bag and held it in his arms. He ran out in a hurry and sent it directly to the Navy Headquarters by special plane according to Su Dingping's instructions.

On the other side, Dark Sword No. 1, which was performing a reconnaissance mission, suddenly received an order from the flight control center. After Xie Zhenyu took a look, he felt quite surprised.

Going to Haiyu Island?

Isn't that your own territory?

Is aerial reconnaissance also necessary?

Even though he had many doubts in his mind and couldn't find any answers, Xie Zhenyu still followed orders and quickly changed direction.

Soon, at an altitude of 26km, the wings of Dark Sword No. tilted at a large angle, and after circling in the air, it pointed its nose at Haiyu Island and flew over.

At the same time, the 126-ton destroyer was secretly heading towards Itoman City in the Alyu Islands.

In the main control room, Cao Youren and others were closely watching the changes in the surrounding environment and any abnormal movements.

And at this moment, the radar observation department suddenly made an unusual discovery.

"Captain, there is new information."

The radar monitor's report immediately caught Cao Youren's attention.

He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Is there any new discovery on the Aleutian Islands?"

"Captain, it's not the Aleutian Islands."

When the radar monitor saw Captain Cao Youren approaching, he pointed to a faint red dot on the radar screen and reported loudly, "Captain, according to the information monitored by the radar, there is a fighter plane flying towards our ship at an altitude of 200km, 26 kilometers away from our ship."

"Direction southeast...speed 0.9 Mach!"

"Based on data comparison and analysis, we can determine that the other party is a reconnaissance aircraft!"

A reconnaissance plane? Can it fly 26km high?
Oh my god, it actually flew so high, even exceeding the maximum ceiling of the Eagle Tribe's U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It's unbelievable.

The White Bear Tribe's M-55 reconnaissance aircraft has a maximum ceiling of only about 21km.

In other words, this mysterious reconnaissance aircraft directly left these two types of reconnaissance aircraft far behind.

Cao Youren had also done his homework in this regard privately, and naturally he knew the relevant data of the reconnaissance planes and fighter jets of the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe by heart.

But this mysterious reconnaissance plane that suddenly appeared today and flew at an altitude of 26km really scared him.

Because this altitude not only surpasses other reconnaissance aircraft by a large margin, but also reaches the maximum shooting altitude of the Haihongqi 901B.

In other words, if he wanted to take action against this reconnaissance plane, he had to be extremely cautious. Not only that, he also had to find the right time to catch the other party off guard.

The HQ-901B is already an extremely advanced air defense missile on the blue planet, but it can barely reach it. If it were any other country's air defense missile, wouldn't it be completely useless to it?
"Could it be that the Eagle Tribe has released a new type of reconnaissance aircraft?"

Cao Youren was quite worried. If his judgment was correct, it would definitely not be good news for him.

His only worry now was that he was carrying out a secret reconnaissance mission. If he was discovered by that reconnaissance plane, wouldn't the operation be declared a failure?
As for the fact that a 2-ton destroyer can detect the Dark Sword No. , it is actually very simple. The -ton destroyer is equipped with a meter-wave radar specifically used to detect stealth targets. Previously, it used the ship's meter-wave radar system to discover multiple batches of U- high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

Those U-2 reconnaissance aircraft have been upgraded to stealth by the Eagle Tribe.

When Su Dingping designed this type of ship, he fully considered the needs of anti-stealth warfare. After all, at that time the Eagle Tribe had already launched the F117 Nighthawk and the F22 Raptor, two stealth fighters.

If the Longxia Navy wants to carry out long-distance operations, it must make achievements in anti-stealth, otherwise it will only be in a passive state of being attacked.

"Captain, do you want to shoot down the enemy?"

The radar monitor's words brought Cao Youren back from his thoughts.

Shoot down the opponent?

A 10,000-ton destroyer is still possible, and Cao Youren is still somewhat tempted.

However, their current situation is not very good. They are still sailing in the waters of the Donghuang tribe and are still carrying out the plan of conducting reconnaissance on the city of Itoman in the Aleutian Islands. If they act rashly, they will definitely be exposed.

After all, after the missile is fired, a tail flame will emerge, becoming a target for the enemy's long-range warning radar.

Once exposed, the impact will be extremely bad and they will be put in an extremely passive situation.

Don’t let the situation happen that the reconnaissance does not produce any results, but they are discovered by the Donghuang tribe, and they are sent a large number of military aircraft and warships to surround the 10,000-ton destroyer.

If it really comes to that, he as the captain will probably have to bear huge responsibility!
It would be a waste of time to cause the plan to fail just to shoot down a reconnaissance plane of unknown nationality.

After a brief contemplation, Cao Youren considered the execution of the plan and gave the order: "Try to avoid its reconnaissance route."

"Yes, Captain!"

The radar monitor immediately passed the relevant information to the helmsman on duty and paid close attention to the movements.

"Immediately send a secret telegram to headquarters to report this matter."

After Cao Youren pondered for a moment, he immediately gave another order, "Keep the noise as small as possible and don't disturb the Donghuang tribe."

They were in the sea area of ​​the Donghuang tribe. If they were to conduct long-distance radio communications, they had to be extremely cautious, otherwise it would be easy for the enemy to detect the source of the radio signal, thus exposing their location.

Once their position was exposed, they would have to retreat, and their forward reconnaissance mission would be a complete failure.

They cannot afford such consequences and will never allow them to happen!
