In the southwest waters of the Bay of Bengal, this deep-sea area with a flat water depth of 3,000 meters under the moonlight looks particularly dark and quiet, and there is hardly any light to be seen. The water that flows slowly along the ocean current glows with a little bit of silver in the starlight.

"Forward cabin inclination 3, keep left rudder 5, speed 28, depth 300, continue to dive!"

The USS Jack Wieson attack nuclear submarine SSN699 is like a frightened dolphin being chased by a group of sharks at the moment, using all its resources to desperately flee to the deep sea.

Robinson also saw at this moment that the Eastern Union Navy should not directly launch torpedoes or deep-water anti-ship missiles at the "Jack Wieson." However, the posture now set up by the Eastern Union Navy is obviously intended to launch a hunt against "Jack Wieson" in an attempt to capture this Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine of the US Navy and then obtain military secrets of the US Navy.

Thinking about this, as the supreme commander of "Jack Wieson", Robinson will certainly not be willing to be captured, no matter what, he has to find a way to get out of this sea area and join the fleet sent by the Indian Navy, and by the way, he can also try how capable the Eastern Union Navy is in anti-submarine warfare.

"Captain, this is not the way to go. We have to find a way to restore our connection with the outside world. Staff Officer Crow came over worriedly and said in a low voice: "The technology of the Oriental Union people in electronic jamming is completely beyond our imagination. Not only are we unable to communicate with the base in Guam, but we are also cut off from the Indian Navy. This kind of isolated situation is really too dangerous!"

Robinson nodded tiredly, "I admit that I underestimated the people of Oriental Union before. To be able to carry out all-round electronic jamming in such a large sea area, it should be that the aircraft carrier battle group that was exercising has rushed over. Now that the communication signal and electronic equipment have been affected, we can only find a way to find a safe trench to sit silently, and I don't believe that the people of OUCC will be able to find our position in a short time. Crowle. How long can we stay at the bottom of the sea with the supplies on board now?"

"Thirty-eight days at most. Crow gave an accurate number and cursed through gritted teeth: "If it weren't for the Indian Navy's gang of dog offal, we wouldn't have been lost by the Oriental Union people like a special dog!"

"Don't say it's useless. Robinson looked back at the rest of the nervous crew in the command cabin and said to Crowle, "The most important thing is that we have to bring all our comrades back alive." Crowle, it's time for you, the staff officer, to use his ingenuity. Think of ways to do it and stop wasting time complaining about things that don't do anything but affect morale. ”

With that, Robinson patted Crowle on the shoulder, and returned to the position of the fluorescent blue plexiglass chartboard, carefully calculating which coordinates were the safest position.

Crow silently mentally calculated the distance from the position reported by the Indian Navy when it finally lost contact with the Indian Navy, and even if the ships of the Eastern Union Navy did not stop it, the receiving fleet sent by the Indian Navy would need at least one hour and twenty-four minutes to reach the rendezvous area at its fastest speed.

Now, however, the question is. Due to the powerful electronic interference of the Eastern Union Navy, the "Jack Wieson" had lost its course in the process of panicking. At this point, the approximate orientation can only be determined by the experience of Captain Robinson.

If you can find a safe deep-sea position, sit silently and wait for rescue, with the existing supply situation on the boat, it will not be much of a problem to survive for twenty or thirty days. However, will the Eastern Union Navy give the "Jack Wieson" this chance?

Can a submarine discovered by the enemy escape the enemy's three-in-one search network composed of numerous submarines, surface ships, and anti-submarine aircraft?

……

United States, White House.

Reagan after receiving an urgent briefing from the Pentagon. Immediately, a staff group was convened to discuss the "Jack Wieson Incident" intensely.

On the issue of rescuing and receiving the safe evacuation of the Jack Wisson, everyone's opinions are naturally unanimous. But how to save. Each person has his own opinion on what the price to pay.

The navy of the Eastern Union conducted a live-fire exercise in the high seas of the Bay of Bengal, and although it did not announce it to the public, it did not think of avoiding military satellites of various countries in space.

The navies of various countries have already conducted live-fire exercises, so they naturally know that the exercise side will designate the exercise area as a military restricted area and strictly prohibit foreign ships from entering. On the one hand, it is to prevent the leakage of military secrets. On the other hand, it is also to avoid causing unnecessary accidental injuries and leading to diplomatic disputes.

Judging from the communication signals sent by the USS Jack Wieson before the incident, this Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine belonging to the US Navy's Seventh Air Force did indeed break into the outer cordon of the Eastern Union Navy.

According to international practice, no matter what reason the USS Jack Wieson entered the warning line of the Oriental Union Naval Exercise Fleet, the Eastern Union Navy has every right to sink or capture this submarine of unknown origin of another country.

However, the USS Jack Wieson belonged to the U.S. Navy. Belongs to the United States of America. With the high-profile and forceful posture that the US Government has always pursued on international issues, they absolutely cannot afford to lose this face.

If the USS Jack Wieson had been quietly sunk by the Eastern Union Navy, the U.S. government might have knocked out its front teeth and bloody throats and kept it a secret. After all, this kind of spying on other countries' military intelligence is not a glorious thing. However, the rapid response and measures of the Eastern Union Navy were clearly intended to make the whole world look at the joke of the United States.

"Still haven't been able to establish contact with the Jack Wieson?" said President Reagan, his face sinking and his tone tinged with obvious impatience and chagrin.

This is the third time that Mr. President has asked the same thing. Defense Minister Weinberg couldn't help but remind himself in his heart. If it were an ordinary conventionally powered submarine, the Pentagon and the White House would certainly not be so agitated. However, this is a Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine! It is one of the most important strategic weapons of the United States. If it is sunk by the Eastern Union Navy, it is better to say a little. However, if the USS Jack Wieson is captured by the Eastern Union Navy and the voiceprint signature of the ship is obtained, then the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine will no longer pose a threat to the Eastern Union Navy in the future.

You must know that the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine is a strategic weapon developed by the United States at a huge cost in order to confront the Soviet Union's nuclear submarine in the deep sea. Although the Rocky-class attack nuclear submarine is slightly inferior to the newly built Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine in terms of comprehensive performance. But the Los Angeles class is still a world-class attack nuclear submarine, and it contains too many technical secrets of the US Navy.

Once the LA-class voiceprint signature is obtained by the OUE Navy, the LA-class attack nuclear submarine will no longer want to dive into the waters of the LAS-class without being discovered. Even with the scientific and technological means owned by the Oriental Union, it is possible to simulate the voiceprint characteristics of the sea wolf according to the voiceprint of the Los Angeles pole. Even President Reagan could not afford such a serious consequence that could endanger U.S. national security.

"Mr. President, we have liaised with the governments of India, Singapore and Indonesia. They have sent the Navy to the accident site to pick up the Jack Wieson for safe evacuation. Weinberg said in as calm a tone as possible, "In addition, the Seventh Fleet and the Fifth Fleet stationed in the Middle East have already anchored and left port, and unless the East Lenovo provokes war, we will have enough time to rescue the Jack Wieson and all the officers and men on board." Because, the report sent by the Seventh Fleet showed that the supply reserves on board the Jack Wieson were enough to keep the officers and men on board in the deep sea for thirty-eight days. ”

"I need to make sure there's nothing wrong with the Jack Wieson now!" Reagan said in a deep voice with a blank face, "If something happens, I don't think what we're going to do now is to rescue or respond." Instead, they are ready to go to war with the Eastern Union!"

"It is absolutely not in the interests of the United States to engage in an all-out war with the Eastern Union now!" Secretary of State Schultz stood up and said solemnly: "At the beginning, we were not able to win the war in Vietnam and South Africa, and now we want to wage war with the East Alliance, which is much stronger than the national strength and military strength of South Vietnam, and it will inevitably consume more of our war resources and national strength." Even if we wipe out the Eastern Union at any cost, who will dare to guarantee that the United States will still have the strength to resist the Soviet Union's attack?"

"Are we going to let the OUEC trample on the dignity of America again and again?!" Reagan roared to his feet.

"This incident can only be resolved through diplomatic means at the political level!" Schultz insisted on his opinion and said very calmly: "British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has departed from Lundun for Mandalay. She promised to help us mediate as much as possible. In addition, the Chinese leaders also agreed to intervene. I think. That Baron doesn't have the courage to be the enemy of the whole world!"

……

On the aircraft carrier Baron Yang Youhan, Yang Weiping was standing in front of the lookout on the bridge at the moment. Use your phone to talk to someone.

From the moment he received Qiu Fang's call, Yang Weiping realized that the sudden "Jack Wieson Incident" had set off storms around the world.

After careful weighing, Yang Weiping asked for the emergency contact information left by British Prime Minister Thatcherf from Qiu Fang, and took the initiative to call it with his mobile phone.

At this time, Margaret Thatcher had just boarded a special plane to Mandalay.

"Sir Young, it doesn't matter where you are now. Please give an order to the supreme commander of your fleet that you must not sink that US nuclear submarine, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Dear Madam, I am now in the flagship command center of my fleet. Yang Weiping smiled very easily: "I know that Madame is looking for me." No, I called right away. ”

"You can still laugh now!" Margaret Thatcher's tone was as dignified as before: "Do you really think that by signing and promulgating the East Soviet Union Joint Declaration with the Soviet Union, you can ignore US hegemony? The true essence of the United States is by no means as simple as you think!"

"Don't worry, ma'am. I know what I'm doing right now. Yang Weiping said indifferently: "Since the US Navy's nuclear submarines have the courage to break into the forbidden area of our exercise, then they have to pay the price they should bear for this unfriendly behavior." The United States is indeed very powerful, but we in the Eastern Union are not fish and fish for mercy. We never want war with any country, but we are not afraid of war of any kind!"
