From October 17 to 23, the Navies of China and Russia conducted their first joint sea cruise. What Chinese voices are echoing in the rough seas? What is the story behind these voices? Listen to the recording close-up of "The Voice of China in the Pacific."
On October 18, local time, the Chinese and Russian warship formations were passing through the Tsugaru Strait
This is the firm and tough Chinese voice of Japan on the sea:
On October 18, local time, the Chinese and Russian warship formations passed through the international waterway of the Tsugaru Strait and encountered close follow-up by foreign ships and aircraft. The Chinese ships took the initiative to shout at the approaching foreign ships.
Lu Da, signal officer of the Nanchang warship: Shouting is an important step for our ships to correctly handle the sea and air situation when they are carrying out their tasks outside. Since I got on the ship in 2018, I have always insisted on teaching myself to speak English to foreign countries, and now I can basically fluently convey our information, requirements, reminders and warnings to foreign warships and aircraft. At the same time, I can also understand and translate the response passwords of foreign warships and aircraft to avoid misunderstanding and misjudgment.
This is the Chinese voice of Japan's maritime security:
As the fleet passed through the Tsugaru Strait, it encountered a merchant ship with Chinese crews. It is traveling between the Japanese islands of Hokkaido and Honshu, hoping to travel from the fleet of ships. The Nanchang warship took the initiative to adjust the course in time to facilitate the crossing of merchant ships.
Captain Zhou Minghui of Nanchang: As the Navy moves to the open seas, we are increasingly encountering Chinese merchant ships or many Merchant ships with Chinese crew members working in the open seas and high seas, and we will have some very friendly exchanges with each other. As the people's navy, we have the obligation to safeguard national strategic interests and have the responsibility to protect the safety of Chinese citizens at sea.
Nanchang Ship Holds "Ocean Coming of Age Ceremony" for Officers and Men Who Went out to Sea for the First Time
This is the proud and loud voice of China in the western Pacific:
On October 19, local time, the ship formation sailed in the western Pacific Ocean. The Nanchang warship held an "ocean coming-of-age ceremony" for officers and men who went out to sea for the first time. The officers and men sang "The People's Navy Moves Forward" with great enthusiasm!
Wen Hanchao, a new recruit on the Nanchang warship: On September 21 this year, I came to the Nanchang warship for service. In less than a month, I followed the Nanchang ship deep into the open sea and carried out this mission, which I felt very honored. Especially on the day of the "Ocean Coming of Age Ceremony", we stood in front of the military flag and took the oath, and I was extremely proud and excited. As a ship sail soldier, I will definitely try to learn my profession and stick to my post.

This is the mighty voice of China in the western Pacific:
On October 19, local time, Chinese and Russian warship formations fired rocket depth bombs in the high seas east of and west of the Island of Honshu in Japan.
Ke Guoqing, captain of the deep-bomb squad of liuzhou ship: Rocket depth bomb is a weapon used to attack underwater submarines. As long as we go to the battlefield, no matter how cunning the opponent submarine is, as long as we find and locate it, my comrades and I will definitely be able to give them the deadliest blow with the weapons in our hands!
Before the separation ceremony, the ships of both sides formed formations
This is the Chinese voice of friendship in the East China Sea:
On October 23, the Chinese and Russian ship formations successfully completed their first joint maritime cruise mission and held a separation ceremony in the eastern waters of the East China Sea.
On the occasion of the separation, the officers and men of the Chinese and Russian navies also said goodbye to each other by radio.
Gu Jingran, a Russian translator: I just expressed my gratitude to the Russian translator who has been in contact with us by radio. Although we never met, we became very good friends through radio communication for more than ten days, helping each other. I am 23 years old and have just graduated from college for more than a year. Although this is my first time to participate in such a major event, I hope to have more opportunities in the future to follow the navy ships out to sea and the ocean, and I hope to witness more stories about friendship.
This is the youthful and energetic Chinese voice of the East China Sea:
On the evening of October 23, Chinese ships were returning to their respective military ports. In addition to intense work, the Nanchang warship held a "collective birthday song party" in the crew's restaurant. The versatile young officers and men played electric guitars and drums to convey the youth and vitality of the Chinese Navy with music.
Nanchang ship operator Wang Kunqi: I formed an electroacoustic band with a few comrades who like music. To be honest, we are usually very busy at work and can only find time to practice. At the Ocean Song Festival, we performed a song that we had been practicing for a long time. We want to convey a mood. Because of the feelings and tacit understanding between comrades-in-arms, life on the open sea and ocean has become so hot and wonderful.
On October 17, local time, Chinese and Russian ship formations were crossing the Sea of Japan
From the Sino-Russian "Maritime Joint-2021" military exercise to the first joint maritime cruise, from the Coastal China to the Sea of Japan to the Western Pacific, the voice of the Chinese Navy has been echoing for a long time. Colonel Li Lie, commander of the Chinese ship formation, said that the far sea and the ocean are the best stage for the Chinese Navy!
Colonel Li Lie, commander of the Chinese ship formation: If the joint military exercise can be summarized as one word "training", the joint cruise can be summarized as one word "use". Facts have proved that the Navies of China and Russia can fully operate jointly after a short run-in. The Sino-Russian naval exercise and joint cruise, especially during the joint cruise, have aroused widespread concern from surrounding countries. Through the joint exercises and joint cruises of the Chinese and Russian navies, we have seen and experienced what we both want to see and experience, and we have expected it. I think that the Pacific Ocean is very large, which is just suitable for the Chinese Navy to exert its fists and feet, and with the joint cruise of the Chinese and Russian navies, the Pacific Ocean can achieve true peace.
