Chapter 004, Close to Death

() In the early morning of the seventh day, although he was on a submarine with no time regularity, Canglong's biological clock still allowed him to rest and wake up on time

The seven-day voyage was nothing to the sailors on these submarines, but what they didn't expect was that Canglong and their landlubbers didn't overreact at all

During these seven days, neither the sailors nor the members of Team B had any contact with each other, and from entering the submarine, they seemed to have kept their duty, did not ask them why they got on the submarine, did not ask what they were doing to send them to the United States, and all of them dutifully carried out the orders from above

But shuttling in the Pacific Ocean is extremely dangerous, because this is a 096-class strategic missile nuclear submarine, once detected by the Americans, they may quickly attack them, because at this time they are less than 500 kilometers away from the west coast of the United States, and the nuclear bombs on the submarine can easily hit any corner of the United States

However, sending a nuclear submarine to transport them close to the west coast of the United States is enough to prove the importance of this mission, you must know that the general task is to send conventional submarines or transport submarines, and there is no need to go through a lot of trouble to be discovered and cause any friction with the U.S. military, but only nuclear submarines have the endurance to reach the west coast of the United States, and conventional submarines are not at all

After the end of the Cold War, the area from Guam, near Taiwan, to the west coast of the United States, was the sphere of influence of the United States, and all countries acquiesced, although Chinese submarines often broke through this area and entered here, most of them were conventional submarines, and the Americans turned a blind eye even if they detected them

But nuclear submarines are completely different, if they are at a long distance, then it is good to say that the Americans are at most negotiating with the Chinese high-level side, but at a distance of 500 kilometers from the west coast of the United States, it is completely different, and the Americans may not make any representations and directly fire at them, which is already an extremely dangerous distance

In particular, Chinese submarines often appear within the cruising range of US aircraft carriers, which always makes the Americans tremble, and then the Americans are even more wary of soldiers in this area, so in recent years, the Americans have asked to establish a liaison point with the Chinese side, fearing that if something happens, they will misfire in order to facilitate negotiations

Along the way, this submarine encountered a lot of various American submarines, and even the submarines of Rìben and Russia, but they did not carry out the symbolic xìng tracking, but directly avoided it, and in the past, they might have tracked some technical information about these submarines, but today their task is not to track

Instead, expose their position, otherwise the US Pacific Fleet will beat them to slag, even if it is a nuclear submarine, it will not be instigated to engage in a real confrontation with the most powerful fleet in the world, after all, this is not a time of war, even if a nuclear submarine penetrates deep into the hinterland of the US Navy's sphere of influence during the war, it will not do such a ** behavior

Although the captain did not assign them a specific scope of activities, several people still abided by the default rules, and the nuclear submarine was an important military secret of a country, so it was a wise choice not to wander around, especially for a person of his status

After he woke up, the shrimp was not as sleepy as ordinary people, and his eyes were hazy, and he was not much different from normal people, for them, it was a pleasure to get a good night's sleep, and stretching his waist might be a luxury

"It seems that your previous training intensity was no worse than ours," Shrimp said when he saw Canglong sitting on the bed and pondering

Canglong didn't say anything, just glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to ponder, so there was only the sound of instruments in the submarine from time to time in the lounge

"The old man may not have imagined that in the end, he would rely on you to maintain the existence of Tekko," said Shrimp to himself, "Is this a kind of irony?"

"It's just a matter of working together to get what we need," Canglong said calmly

The reason why Xiami joined Team B is because the 15th Military Intelligence Bureau is a continuation of Teko, for him, the previous Teko was just a different name, and I have to say that the old man was not wrong, Li Ruomo was just a blind eye

"Cooperation," Shrimp paused, and said, "I don't know what price Li Ruomo paid, but he can actually invite you to move."

"Anyway, it's not a betrayal of national interests," Canglong said

"I believe in her very much," Xiami seems to know Li Ruomo very well, "You can't like her, right?"

The sudden question made Canglong stunned, and the instant reaction in his heart was to deny it, but he still held back, just smiled and didn't speak

"It's not a shame to like her, at least none of the previous members of the two AB teams didn't like her, it's just that everyone knows that Ruomo, this woman is not easy to touch, she is a thorny rose," Shrimp said to herself

And at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a sailor said at the door, the captain had something to look for their head, and the shrimp glanced at Canglong, who was about to say something, but Canglong said: "Let's go together."

So under the leadership of the sailors, the two came to the control room of the submarine, the captain was a man of almost forty years old, and he was full of the charm unique to the Chinese ** people, seeing the two of them coming, he first asked their level, and after learning that Canglong was the head, he said to Canglong: "Now it is about 400 kilometers away from the west coast of the United States, we can only send you to the west coast of 50 kilometers, and the remaining 50 kilometers must be swam by yourself to the near sea, there is no danger, I believe that it should not be difficult for you to avoid the coast of the United States."

"Hmm," Canglong nodded, "After our mission is completed, you can pick us up at any point we ask."

"It's also fifty kilometers away from the coastline, as long as you don't mess with the U.S. Navy, we can go up to meet you," the captain nodded

Hearing this, Xiami and Canglong looked at each other, whether they would provoke the US Navy, they didn't know, but they knew that there would definitely be a big disturbance this time, but neither of them had any extra expressions, and Xiami asked: "When can we arrive at the scheduled location, how can you quickly rush to the location we asked for after the mission is completed, because we can't go back the same way we came?"

"You can arrive at the scheduled location around twelve o'clock tonight, and it is exactly midnight when you arrive in the United States, so you have five hours to enter the mainland of the United States under the cover of night, and the rest is up to you, and when you complete the mission, you can send us a message through the encrypted channel, and the information band number and password are," the captain said, but his face was a little worried, he knew very well what kind of danger a group of special forces would encounter when entering the mainland of the United States, this is not like them in the ocean

Although there are American submarines everywhere, this is a time of peace, and as long as it does not threaten the real interests of the United States, nothing major will generally happen

The two of them naturally saw the captain's worries, but Xi Mi said: "Don't worry, you can enter here through layers of anti-submarine nets in the Pacific Ocean, and we are not vegetarians."

The captain nodded and saluted the two of them with a standard military salute, and at the same time, the other people in the control room also followed the captain and saluted them, and from the eyes of the sailors, it could be felt that it was impossible for the team of Canglong to come back, although the sailors did not know what mission Canglong was performing

Canglong naturally felt it, but when these sailors saluted him, there was a little strange emotion in his heart, this emotion had never been before, but he remembered the words of the snow leopard, there is no need for too much politeness between soldiers, a military salute can express everything

After the ceremony, everyone went to work with good training, but just as Canglong and Xia Mi were about to leave, suddenly the radio voice came from the control room: "This is the sonar room, and a large area of anti-shè wave azimuth assignment automatic tracker may track a submarine."

Hearing this, the people in the control room were suddenly a little nervous, and this is already the offshore waters of the United States, and shuttling here is not as easy as Fan Primary School said, and sometimes the slightest mistake may be detected

"Torpedo keep the whole ship controlled to the lowest level, weapons room No. 1 to 4 torpedo ready," the captain calmly ordered, so the whole ship mobilized

A few minutes later, another voice came from the sonar room: "Determined to be the best depth for a submarine to evade at a detection point, 831 feet"

Hearing this, the captain thought for a few seconds and said: "Raise to the standard speed, turn the rudder and quickly dive to a depth of 1,200 feet."

Under the command of the captain, the submarine quickly began to dive, and a few minutes later, a voice came from the sonar room: "The submarine category has been detected, and the location of the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine of the United States has been detected, and they do not seem to have detected us."

When hearing the Seawolf-class attack submarine, the face in the control room is not good, the Seawolf-class attack submarine is the most difficult conventional submarine in the United States to deal with, and it is also the most expensive submarine in the world, its birth purpose is to deal with the submarines of the former Soviet Union, although they are the latest type of 096 strategic nuclear submarine, but the speed is comparable to the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine, but in the near coast of the United States, if it is bitten by the Seawolf, this mission will not be able to be carried out, and it can only leave quickly is the best policy

The captain still said calmly: "The purpose of diving at the fifth degree angle is to stay silent, our purpose is not to play with him, but to avoid it, and we can't let it find out, we all hear clearly, this is not the usual training subject, everyone cheers me up."

Hearing this, Xiami and Canglong understood something, if there were no them on the submarine, it is estimated that these sailors would definitely have a good time with this Seawolf-class submarine, and they might even take the initiative to provoke

Ten minutes after "the enemy ship disappeared", the sound finally came from the sonar room, and everyone in the control room breathed a sigh of relief

The captain repeated: "Everyone keeps jǐng ti and now we have a mission on the coast of the United States not to let them discover us"

After speaking, he saw that Canglong and the two were still in the control room, and were about to say something, when suddenly a voice came from the sonar room: "Jǐng reported that the torpedo location was found in the water, and the sea wolf discovered us, and we were attacking and the second torpedo was discovered."

For a moment, everyone's faces in the control room changed, and the captain immediately picked up the radio and ordered: "Left full rudder full speed forward"

"This is the sonar room, the torpedo is 3000 yards away from us, and it is close to the middle"

"Extremely fast, the whole ship sent out a collision report," and a dazzling red light flashed inside the submarine

"1500 yards azimuth is approaching"

"The 1000-yard azimuth is rapidly approaching"

The report from the sonar room made everyone sweat on their faces, after all, this was not a game, and once they were hit by a torpedo, they would all have to die at the bottom of the sea, and this was not the coastal waters of China, but the coastal waters of the United States

"Five hundred yards is approaching quickly," the sonar monitor's voice was a little nervous

"Hair shè anti-torpedo decoy, turn the rudder left and go full speed ahead," the captain ordered

"Three hundred yards approaching quickly"

"Ready for impact" the captain informed the entire ship

But at this moment, the sonar room suddenly reported: "The first torpedo pursues the decoy, the second torpedo is close in approach"

There was a dull explosion, and the whole submarine shook, and the sailors immediately grabbed what they could around them, but this was not the most deadly, because the first torpedo did not explode close to the submarine, but tracked the anti-torpedo decoy, and the second torpedo exploded close to the submarine

With a "buzz", most of the sailors in the control room were shaken down, and even Shrimp and Canglong were uncontrollable and almost fell to the ground, the instrument flickered, and the entire submarine seemed to explode, full of panic and dull atmosphere, and everyone's heartbeat accelerated from time to time

But after a few minutes, the submarine finally sailed out of the core of the vibration, and finally calmed down, the captain took a deep breath, took the radio and said quickly: "The whole unit reports the damage."

After speaking, the captain looked at Canglong and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's very close to death," Canglong didn't hesitate, and Xi Mi nodded as well
