On the pitch-black sea, two Burke-class destroyers were roaring gas turbines and belching black smoke. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Above the sky with large dark clouds faintly illuminated by the moonlight, an EP-3E electronic reconnaissance plane also used its maximum speed to advance towards the Gretel Strait.

On this silent night, no one but the parties could have known that an American patrol ship had sunk on the edge of the Gretel Strait.

When the news came back, the top brass of the Navy was collectively shaken.

Energy Director Akram rushed to the Pentagon to hear a report of the accident that had occurred in the Gretel Strait.

The conference room will be star-studded, and even the presidential adviser will come.

In the conference room, the video taken by the crew of the Dolphin helicopter was played repeatedly, and on the periphery of the conference room, various intelligence services also mobilized all their forces to track down the nationality and all units of the ghost yacht.

With the clueless investigation of the situation and the reports one by one, the air in the conference room gradually became cloudy and thunderous, filled with a silent and depressing smell.

"A total of 73 crew members, all of whom were injured, dozens of them seriously, were rushed to the Malay Public Hospital for treatment. General Beers, who presided over the meeting, said gloomily: "The Brownwood was even broken by the waist, but it was only a yacht that caused all this." ”

"It was a premeditated attack. ”

"......"

In this way, the personnel inside the yacht also accompanied the funeral. Another general was puzzled, "Based on our experience, if this was a premeditated military attack, why would the crew of the Brownwood be allowed to jump overboard to release the lifeboat?"

"They should rush out of the cabin and wipe out these crew members with weapons. ”

"Now it seems to us that it was the crew of the Brownwood who was saved, although one patrol ship was lost. The yacht was taken into the deep sea by the Brownwood, and no one jumped ship to escape, and naturally no one survived. ”

General Beers held his cheek and looked at the big screen several times, and finally froze on the sinking of the Brownwood, "Indeed, it seems a little unreasonable that no one from the attackers showed up to attack the crew of the overboard." ”

"But based on the clues we have so far, the ghost yacht's motive was to attack without mistake. ”

"It's just that we still can't figure out how it evades the detection of it by the sea radar. Suddenly appeared in the sea two thousand meters away from the Brownwood, and what kind of power plant did it rely on, reaching a terrifying speed of hundreds of knots. ”

"After the two Burke-class destroyers set sail, a heavy crane ship on the mainland also set sail urgently, and we hope that the Brownwood and the yacht can be lifted out of the water as a whole. This is a very important basis for us to study these two issues. ”

The group of generals around the table kept nodding.

In fact, the solemn atmosphere in the conference room has a lot to do with the ability of this ghost yacht.

Looking back at the history of the Navy, in peacetime, the US Navy has a record of warships being attacked, not for nothing.

At the turn of the millennium, the US Navy's most advanced Aegis destroyer, prepared to plan a trip to the Gulf region to participate in a maritime interception operation. As a result, at the port of destination, the Aegis destroyer, approached the middle of the port side by a rubber boat filled with explosives, and then an earth-shattering explosion occurred.

The explosion caused 56 casualties on board. The whole world is watching jokes, one of the world's most advanced Aegis destroyers, was almost sunk by a rubber boat.

But inside the Navy, they did not find the attack the slightest bit terrible, and the atmosphere of the meeting was one of rage rather than gloom.

Because this is the negligence of the personnel's awareness of prevention, it has caused a catastrophe. The other side's attack methods are so rudimentary that they do not have any technical content, and they only need to be on heightened vigilance to prevent similar incidents from now on.

But this time it was different, judging by the video and the surviving meetings of the ship's personnel. This time, the Brownwood responded perfectly. The moment the ghost yacht was spotted by radar, they illuminated it with flares, followed by shells warning and attacking.

This was the best they could do, but the ghost yacht still relied on its ability to maneuver against the sky to dodge most of the shells and successfully sink it.

The most frightening thing is the origin of the ghost yacht's nickname.

Does the fact that it can mysteriously appear around the USS Brownwood for two thousand meters does that mean it can also appear around the Perry-class frigates, or around the Burke-class destroyers and Ticonderoga-class cruisers?

Even......

The core warship of the United States to maintain global hegemony in the oceans, in front of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?

Two thousand meters, if that yacht launches an anti-ship missile, no alert system can react.

I can't figure out these things, and these generals have to go to work with fear for a long time.

So at present, the news of the sinking of the Brownwood is strictly blocked. Internally, it was only claimed that the Brownwood had run aground and sank due to a power failure.

At the same time, it is extremely important to hoist the sunken ghost yacht for study.

"General......

"The two ships were embedded together, and judging by the topography of the wreck, the depth of the water was about 500 meters. I'm afraid that our most powerful crane ship, the Squid, will not be able to lift them up. Speaking of marine engineering, a young officer sitting in the back spoke in a whisper.

"General, not only us, but I am afraid that if you look at the whole world, there is only one ship that can handle this project. ”

"It's the Titan, who saved the Sapphire in the first place. ”

As soon as the young officer's words fell, the solemn and solemn atmosphere in the conference room became a little awkward.

The Titan is well known to all Americans as a heroic ship. But the problem is that this time, they are going to the giant beast industry, and the giant god belongs to the giant beast industry.

Now that they are going to ask the Behemoth Industry to help salvage, wouldn't it mean that they just declared war and immediately raised the white flag and surrendered?

"Ahem~" General Beers waved his hand, and then moved his gaze to Akran, the director of the Energy Bureau, who was sitting across from him, with a very ugly face, and had been silent.

"Mr. Akram, the USS Brownwood was deployed to the edge of the Gray Strait at your request. Now that it's sinking, what do you want to say, and how much do you think it has to do with the Behemoth industry?"

Akram turned a deaf ear and kept wandering away.

These admirals don't know about the Behemoth Industry, so can he not know about it?

That ghost, at least sixty percent likely, was made by Behemoth Industries.

After a long time, the director of the energy bureau, Akram, said: "We can't point the finger at the giant industry without sufficient evidence, because the whole thing seems ridiculous." We are openly pointing the finger at the Behemoth Industry, which means that the full story of what happened in the Gretel Strait two hours ago must be made public to the world. ”

"Although I suspect Behemoth Industry, it is obviously impossible for Behemoth Industry to have a yacht launch an attack on a warship and use the lives of the entire crew of the ship as a weight. ”

"However, the Brownwood was deployed to the Gretel Strait to carry out the mission in accordance with the requirements of our Energy Agency. Therefore, we at the Energy Agency are primarily responsible for this. ”

General Beers waved his hand, his tone almost harsh, "We share the responsibility, but figuring out why that ghost yacht appeared within two kilometers of the Brownwood in an instant is more important than any responsibility." ”

"I don't know much about radar, will it ...... Does the yacht have submersible capability? It will first be in the sea and then quietly approach the Brownwood?" Energy Commissioner Akran asked uncertainly, "As far as I know, the Brownwood is not equipped with advanced sonar sounding devices. ”

"I hope so. A naval commander in charge of the submarine department said, "If we really have the ability to submarine, we don't have to worry about this kind of yacht appearing in front of our main warship." ”

"Because in the face of passive and active sonar detection equipment, this kind of yacht is obviously not as threatening as standard submarines. We are not even afraid of submarines, so why should we be afraid of them?"

"But our naval technicians, who have analyzed it, do not have the ability to submerge. ”

"We suspect that its shell uses some kind of stealth technology. ”

Director Akram nodded, then shook his head, "Then I'll talk about the speed of that yacht from the perspective of energy technology." Judging by the wake of the yacht in the video, this should be four waterjets. ”

"Conventional heavy-duty engines, or steam turbines, can't reach that speed. ”

"I think about it, only an all-electric propulsion system can do this technically. ”

"It just so happens that Behemoth Industries has mastered the world's most advanced battery energy technology. As long as the ghost yacht is salvaged, by dismantling its power system, it can be determined whether it is the work of the Behemoth Industry. ”

"I agree that we can't point the finger at the Behemoth Industry until the results of the investigation are available. General Beers pondered for a moment and added, "There are only a few great powers that can create ghost yachts. Those al-Qaeda organizations have to have this technology, and what kind of war are they fighting, so they have already sat here and had a meeting with us. ”

"Behemoth Industry may have this kind of technology, which means that the Huaxia military also has it. Enterprises can't do this, but the Huaxia military can, and they don't even have to do it themselves, as long as they cooperate with our enemies, they are happy to provide guys who are not afraid of death. ”

"By the way, what about the horizontal freighter?" Akram said with a straight face, "that freighter must be seized, it's about our face." I can also investigate the relationship between the level number and this incident. ”

"Burke-class destroyers, they're going to stop them. General Beers's voice was categorical, "Whether or not the Horizontal, whether or not it had anything to do with that attack, it never wanted to reach the African continent." ”

…………

Rescue the Brownwood and the ghost yacht as quickly as possible, and become the key to unlocking the haze hanging over the heads of the admirals.

Two hours after the incident, the Fifth Fleet forcefully designated the public sea area as a military exercise area, prohibiting any unrelated ships from approaching the aircraft.

Three hours later, the EP-3E electronic reconnaissance plane arrived and launched an electronic reconnaissance of the area.

Five hours later, the investigation team arrived in Malaysia and flew there by helicopter to try to collect any suspicious wreckage.

The next day, multiple deep-sea probes were dropped into the area by helicopters in an attempt to find the sunken Brownwood.

At the time of the wreck, the Dolphin helicopter accurately recorded the GPS positioning information of the wreck site, as well as the latitude and longitude of the nautical chart, with an error of no more than 500 meters. But after a whole day of searching, the terrible thing that made the hairs of those high-ranking generals stand on end happened.

There was no sign of a shipwreck in that area.

The probe found only a few pieces of metal wreckage peeled from the Brownwood.

HMS Brownwood......

Along with that ghost yacht, it disappeared along with it. Not even the most striking oil splashes of the sunken ship appeared.

That's impossible!

There was wreckage, and there was the Dolphin helicopter to record the location.

But it really happened, and at this time, the Brownwood had been dismantled and buried in the depths of the ocean more than a thousand nautical miles away. The only people who know its location are the warships of the lords.
