185. Edward's ominous premonition
Compared to Dahe's righteous suspicions, the de facto people of the country seem to work much harder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is the McCampbell of the Navy, repeat, this is the McCampbell of the Navy, we suspect that your ship is carrying illegal items, and we ask you to stop the ship immediately for inspection!" At the signal of Colonel Fogg, the McCampbell's fire control radar locked onto the Yuebei and issued another warning.
It was a very stern and powerful warning, but Colonel Fogg's face did not have the smugness and confidence that it had before, and when the Yuebei ran in front of his ship against common sense, his confidence in himself and his beloved ship was a little lacking - although the McCampbell was still a powerful Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, although the ship's weapons were still sharp.
Suddenly, Colonel Fogg recalled the warning of the Lieutenant Colonel Edward not long ago: "Gentlemen, I want to remind you that you are not dealing with an ordinary merchant ship, you are dealing with a capable person on a merchant ship!" The merchant ships are not armed, but the capable ones are! ”
Colonel Fogg found the source of the uneasiness, and he remembered his answer more clearly, and he replied disapprovingly to the supposedly superpowered Lieutenant Colonel Edward, telling him that it was his own ship and that he knew what to do. This is not only out of the confidence of Colonel Fogg's more than 30 years of naval experience, but also the pride of being a national navy.
Can't be shaken! There is no need to shake either! Because under him is a formidable weapon of war, because he is wearing the uniform of the navy of the most powerful country in the world!
"Sir, Lieutenant Colonel Edward requests a communication!"
"Take it in." Colonel Fogg regained his composure. He could have refused to contact Lieutenant Colonel Edward, but he agreed, because he wanted to prove that he would not be influenced by the other party, and he wanted to hear what else he could say.
Parliament Building, Washington, Wharton.
Lieutenant Colonel Edward was a little nervous, not worried about the upcoming hearings, though that would be at stake in whether he would be convicted of treason for his attempted murder of more than 10,000 citizens of the country in Abgast.
What really upset Lieutenant Colonel Edward was the safety of the McCampbell on the other side of the world, and the possibility that he would have the ability to bring the dead back to life, especially since he could be taken away by the Shen.
The Philippine incident happened suddenly, shortly after the Abgast incident, and by the time the Philippine military confirmed the identity of the attacker and deduced that the attacker was likely to have the ability to resurrect the dead, he was too late to rush over - whether it was the hearing scheduled at the Capitol or the trauma left after being mentally assaulted by the high-ranking commander, all of which directly led to Lieutenant Colonel Edward's absence from the trip to Kela Sula.
But even so, there was still nothing to stop him from worrying about the security of national interests, and when he learned that the battleship was going to intercept the merchant ship carrying Gao Shuai and his party, he immediately contacted Colonel Fogg through his father's connections, and issued a warning, but unfortunately the other party apparently did not listen.
"Handsome." Lieutenant Colonel Edward chewed on this name, no one paid as much attention to this Shen Guo who had been prophesied by the Know-It-All, in Lieutenant Colonel Edward's opinion, this person was the biggest enemy of the Nation of Jin, but apart from him, few people really realized this huge hidden danger and threat to the Nation of Young.
"Those old men of the Congress are too self-righteous, don't they know that the strength of the Kingdom of Yi has never come from arrogance!" Lieutenant Commander Edward suddenly thought of Colonel Fogg of the USS McCampbell, who was also an arrogant fellow, as if he feared that others would not know that he was the "Great Navy".
"It's a pity that all the great navies in this world will eventually decline one day, and only by constantly destroying the enemy in the bud can we ensure that we will always be strong, and this requires not arrogance, but prudence, and never underestimate any opponent." Lieutenant Colonel Edward held up the earpiece again, he wanted to contact Colonel Fogg again, even if he was taunted, Lieutenant Colonel Edward was to remind him and warn him until he could understand the strength of his opponent.
Lieutenant Colonel Edward felt that he was the most qualified person to judge Gao Shuai in the whole world, because almost every failure of his own could be associated with him, although this made Lieutenant Colonel Edward embarrassed, but it was precisely because of this that he could appreciate the strength of the Shen Guoren who did not seem to be strong or even a little deterrent, and even felt that he knew more about his potential than Gao Shuai himself.
The waiting tone on the phone sounded as if it would never end, and the hearing was about to take place, which made Lieutenant Colonel Edward seem more anxious than Colonel Fogg, who was on the scene.
"I'm Fogg." The slightly muffled voice of Colonel Fogg, the captain of the USS McCampbell, was heard on the phone.
"Colonel!" Lieutenant Colonel Edward grabbed the microphone and, thankfully, finally got through.
"Lieutenant Colonel, I would like to know what the purpose of your request for contact is again, and if it is still as alarmist as before, I would not mind submitting a report to the court-martial after the end of the mission. As far as I know, your God's Will does not yet have the right to contact me directly, and the Navy has only been instructed to assist you in protecting our ally, not to mention that you are not yet the Supreme Commander of God's Will. Colonel Fogg said sarcastically. In Colonel Fogg's opinion, no matter what Lieutenant Colonel Edward's intentions were, it would be ultra vires for him to contact him directly and point fingers at him, especially since he even wanted to influence the judgment of the glorious Admiral of the Navy!
"I heard you're already in trouble, and it's big?" Colonel Fogg was also well informed, especially Lieutenant Colonel Edward, who was facing charges of murdering tens of thousands of people, especially since these tens of thousands of people were citizens of the country. I have to say that after getting the news, Colonel Fogg was still very lamented that there were still people who could commit such a serious crime in this era.
"Colonel, it doesn't matter if my trouble is big or small." Lieutenant Commander Edward held back his anger, and he was prepared for the arrogance of the navy: "What I want to know is that you have come into contact with the Shen Guoren?" ”
"No, we're still on the hunt." Colonel Fogg's voice sounded without a hint of anxiety about the failure of the interception.
"That's good." Lieutenant Colonel Edward breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lieutenant Colonel, do you still want to convince me that those Shen people have the ability to threaten the safety of the McCampbell, as you did last time? If you're going to repeat that rhetoric, I'm sorry, I'm going to cut it off. Colonel Fogg had a good time, and even had some humor.
"No, I think it may be that I didn't say it clearly enough last time, and I'm willing to explain it in more detail." Lieutenant Colonel Edward, fearing that Colonel Fogg would really cut off contact, hurriedly said.
"They have the ability to teleport objects regardless of distance, they once summoned an EMP bomb in front of my eyes in Abergast, they ......" Lieutenant Colonel Edward was rudely interrupted by Colonel Fogg.
"Can they deliver a set of anti-ship missiles?" Colonel Fogg asked.
"Theoretically, it should be possible." Lieutenant Colonel Edward didn't care about Colonel Fogg's unreasonableness, as long as the other party could listen, he was willing to do anything.
"Do you know how much equipment a complete anti-ship system has, how big is it, how many people are needed to operate it? And we can always destroy them on the launch pad before they launch, because they're facing an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, we're real war machines, and they're like knightly farmers. Colonel Fogg said proudly.
"They don't need to deliver a whole set of anti-ship missiles, they just need to deliver a bomb with enough power," Lieutenant Colonel Edward said urgently.
"They can summon powerful bombs in an instant?" Colonel Fogg asked.
"Yes, I promise!" Lieutenant Colonel Edward said loudly.
"Then Lieutenant Colonel, please tell me, what the hell are they going to do to get the bomb on my ship?" Colonel Fogg asked.
"......" Lieutenant Colonel Edward was speechless for a moment.
"Did they land on my ship, or did they drop bombs, well, I'll see, at least two nautical miles?" Colonel Fogg visually measured the distance from the Yuebei and sneered.
After a moment's wait, only the sound of Lieutenant Colonel Edward's heavy breathing could be heard from the speaker, and Colonel Fogg laughed, satisfied that he had left the delusional madman speechless.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lieutenant Colonel. I wish you every success in your defense before Congress. Again, Colonel Fogg took the initiative to cut off contact.
Looking at the earpiece in his hand, Lieutenant Colonel Edward did not try to contact again, after all, it was far away from the scene, and he couldn't think for a while how Gao Shuai could send a bomb that was enough to destroy a nearly 10,000-ton warship two nautical miles away, but the ominous premonition in his heart was even stronger.
"There must be something that I have overlooked!" Lieutenant Colonel Edward clutched the earpiece so tightly that he didn't even notice that Barack, who was a witness against him, was beside him.
