In less than a week. Three attack nuclear submarines, two civilian fishing boats, a large military anti-submarine reconnaissance plane, and a 100,000-ton bulk carrier have disappeared in this sea area.

After a little summary, it was discovered that all of these ships and planes had a common characteristic: the radio contact had been normal until the disappearance, and no anomalies had been found, but the time of disappearance was extremely short, so short that they did not have time to send a distress signal.

However, it is also strange that among the missing ships and planes, the place of the crash is not the sea area previously identified by the United States, but covers the entire Yellow Sea: east-west, from the Yellow Sea near the Chinese side to the Japanese island of Kyushu; In the north-south direction, it went from the northern tip of Korea to the southern tip of Japan, and in the last two days, the scope of the wreck was further expanded!

Bermuda!!

Countless people couldn't help but pass through a term that frightened their hearts! Bermuda, the most mysterious place on earth and has so far been a forbidden place for human exploration.

This huge sea area seems to be the prey area of this emerging "Asian Bermuda", which is still covered with a veil of light.

But compared to Bermuda, the newly formed "Asian Bermuda" is so large that even the real Bermuda can only be admired.

Not only the Americans and the governments and military departments on both sides of the continent are wondering, but all countries around the world are also wondering: What the hell is going on?

It became a giant fish bone in their throats. They all understand that if they can't figure out what is going on, it means that their business activities in the Far East are playing a dangerous tightrope game, and if they are not careful, their interests will suffer huge losses, which is simply too damning.

Again, this news is not good news for China, which is developing rapidly.

China's development is now more and more dependent on the support of external resources, if there are serious safety risks in this waterway, those foreign ships will not have the interest or courage to risk their lives to come to China, and if they do not understand what is going on, the country's economic development will be seriously affected, and even this impact will be fatal;

Similarly, if they don't figure out what's going on, the Americans' idea of blockading China will face a serious challenge, because without knowing what's going on here, their warships won't dare to sail into the waters. If it fails to maintain a sufficient military presence in this area, the influence of the United States on China will decline dramatically! Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, the three pawns that have always been the vanguard of the United States' blockade of China, will have very limited threat and influence on China.

As a matter of fact, it is precisely because they know this link that the Japanese prime minister and the ROK president have successively called Bush Jr. to discuss with their masters what to do; although Taiwan, which is now inclined toward the mainland in terms of political stance, has not yet taken the initiative to contact the United States, they also know that once this situation becomes true, without the support of the United States behind its self-security, if it is finally reunified, the benefits they can get from the mainland side will be too little and too little.

――――――――――――――――

The disappearance of the American nuclear submarine is no longer able to arouse sufficient media interest. Recently, a series of inexplicable disappearances of planes and ships in the waters of the Yellow Sea have successfully captured the commanding heights of media and public attention! What could be more exciting than the sudden discovery of a mysterious part of the planet that has been hidden from the world? Compared to this, the United States lost a nuclear submarine? Even the loss of 10 nuclear submarines is nothing. …,

Compared with the fact that the Americans have lost a nuclear submarine in this sea area -- the US Government has blocked the news of the disappearance of the last two nuclear submarines, and at a media briefing, it only said that the two submarines are being searched in the relevant sea area and that the search area has been expanded after the search has been fruitless -- there is no doubt that the recent disappearance of these ships and planes has made the idle people more concerned.

At this moment, what really makes these idle guys curious is who can tell Lao Tzu what is going on?

The needs of the people are the driving force behind the work of the media, so when all eyes are on this matter, as long as you are not a fool, the ghost knows what to do - the White House has just informed itself that it wants to downplay the impact of the loss of nuclear submarines by the United States, and has promised a lot of benefits for it. On the one hand, the demands of the people, on the other hand, are the benefits sent by the White House, why not take the money and sell the White House to save face.

Of course, compared with the curiosity of the people, the Koreans and Japanese, whose economic development is highly dependent on external resources and have always been waiting for rice to be cooked, began to scratch their ears and cheeks a little crazy at this time:

Because of this series of missing ships, and most of these things happened in the coastal areas of Japan and South Korea, this makes the owners of companies in the world who make a living by shipping feel uncomfortable like cat scratches.

Japan and South Korea have their own shipping companies. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the companies that were about to arrive at the port issued an emergency berthing order to the ship, and stayed in the open sea before a feasible safe route was not clear.

This is a recipe for South Korea and Japan, which have little of their own resource output, and are highly dependent on external resources for their economic development and social stability. Without external supplements, even if they even have a problem eating!

Although South Korea and Japan have the world's largest ocean-going shipping fleets, but in the maintenance of the economic lifeline of the two countries' ocean-going shipping forces, their own ocean-going shipping forces actually account for only a small part of it, the main force is still the world's major ocean-going shipping giants, although according to the contract provisions of the late delivery of goods will be a huge fine, but at the moment these giants are all right: "Now we are facing uncontrollable factors, if you guarantee that our ship will not have an accident, or if something happens you bear all the losses, We'll be on the boat right away! ”

No Japanese company dares to pat their chests against these giants and say that you can rest assured that you should drive the ship over, because the sea area where the accident has occurred is no longer limited to the Yellow Sea, the Tsushima Strait, the Yellow Sea, and the Pacific Ocean have traces of this damn "Asian Bermuda", and even more damned, this "Asian Bermuda" seems to be alive, and he has been constantly moving his steps, like a ...... Hunt prey on your own territory!

When this thought appeared in the minds of the South Korean government, the Japanese government and the world's shipping giants, the heads of these giants were instantly confused: Can you tell me, what the hell is going on?

For a time, this sea area faintly had a terrifying name: a place cursed by God and blessed by Satan!

――――――――――――――――

Americans are under a lot of pressure because their two biggest brothers in Asia, Japan and South Korea, have sent them a plea for help like lost dogs: What should we do at this time?

What to do? What to do? Poor George W. Bush desperately grabbed his hair, almost mad in his heart: How do I know what to do? What the hell can I do? …,

Poor George W. Bush. At this moment, I am extremely sure in my heart that I am definitely the most unlucky president in the history of the United States, even more unlucky than those presidents who were shot!

However, despite the depression in his heart, Bush Jr. could not fail to deal with this issue: Although South Korea belongs to the younger brother that the United States can kick out at any time, at least Japan, the obedient little brother, should still be well protected, and such a loyal dog cannot be encountered very often.

Bush, in desperation, could only choose to hold a meeting here to discuss this issue, but before they could sit down in the conference room, one of Card's secretaries hurriedly knocked on the door and handed Carder a piece of paper.

Looking at the words written on the paper, Kad was stunned, and stood there in a daze, not even noticing that the paper in his hand had slipped to the ground.

What is it that could make Mr. Card so out of shape? Wolfowitz, who was sitting near the door, was curious, looked down at the contents of the paper, and was also stunned on the spot: At 0:12 a.m. on November 8, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's "Kirishima" Kongo-class guided missile destroyer disappeared while performing a daily patrol mission in the waters of the Sea of Japan, and its characteristics were the same as those of the previous missing ships......

Kong-class missile destroyers? That's when Japan spent a lot of effort to take the United States' "Ali. The Burke-class "Aegis-class missile destroyer" is a new type of missile destroyer designed on the basis of the full load displacement of 9,495 tons, which not only surpasses the American Arleigh missile destroyer in terms of displacement and tonnage. Burke-class missile destroyers, in terms of technical indicators and armament are even more than the Americans themselves used in the "Ali. The Burke-class "Aegis missile destroyer is even more advanced!"

Both the Americans and the Japanese have high hopes for the Kongo-class missile destroyers, and the Japanese government and military hope to reorganize Japan's "Eight Destroyers" on the basis of the eight Kongo-class destroyers. VIII Fleet". The U.S. government and military want Japan's "eight. The "Eighth Fleet" can help the US military share some military pressure in the Asia-Pacific region, but it is such a weapon that Japan relies on as the pillar of the country, such a sea behemoth with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, and it has disappeared so quietly? What if the American aircraft carrier group encountered such a situation? Bush Jr. has no answer in his heart, and Rumsfeld, as Secretary of Defense, has no answer in his heart.

So, after circulating this information, the minds of everyone in the entire conference room were blank except for "this damn devil has already extended his claws to the Sea of Japan......

――――――――――――――――

While the whole world was talking about why this "God-cursed and Satan-blessed place" had come into being, Alice Group's huge ocean-going shipping fleet was up and running quickly - just kidding! How can something of oneself come and attack oneself?

Of course. At least for the sake of pretense, after crossing Southeast Asia and starting to enter the East China Sea, these ocean-going transport fleets of the Alice Group all sailed within 5 nautical miles of the coastline, that is to say, the ships of the Alice Group all sailed within the territorial waters of the country, although this does not mean anything, but it is an indisputable fact that the ships of the Alice Group did not suffer any losses.

Is it safe to be close to the coastline? Not the territory of that damn "Asian Bermuda"? Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the Alice Group's ship, some of the guys with their heads spinning faster felt as if they had discovered a new route.

No one will put ready-made money without making money, you know, your ship is docked at sea, even if you don't have to consider the penalty at the time of delivery, the cost of each day of delay is very amazing, on the one hand, there is a black hole that throws money into it every day, and I don't know how long to throw it in, on the other hand, there is a possible safe route, and fools know how to choose. …,

Just like Uncle Ma said, when there is a 10% profit, capital begins to be active. Since there is money to be made now, it is natural that no one will put money without making it.

After some probing, everyone was surprised to find that the route was indeed safe, and even the brave ones who put the distance 10 nautical miles from the coastline did not find anything wrong, but in the spirit of caution, no one had to go 10 nautical miles—fools know that the closer you are to the shore, the safer it is.

Although it is very strange why this newly emerged "Asian Bermuda" does not have much impact on the course of China's coast, but on the other hand, Bermuda has not completely blocked the coastline related to the Americans.

Of course, in addition to being happy that they can continue to make money, there are also some guys who wonder why the Alice Group's ocean shipping fleet would know such a safe route, but for the guys who are happy now, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that they can continue to make money.

But while ocean-going ships to China can do this, ocean-going ships to Japan and South Korea are dumbfounded: because Yanyang ships to China can pass through the Strait of Malacca and enter the South China Sea and then travel north along the coastline of Guangdong Province to any of China's coastal ports. The only problem is that the speed is a little slower because of the closer to the coastline, which leads to a slight increase in transportation costs.

However, this problem is completely dead for Japan and South Korea, two countries that rely on external imports for the basic elements of social development and maintenance.

Although South Korea is a peninsular country, it is not even a matter of thinking that North Korea in the north will open its doors to itself and allow it to use its land routes!; Bypassing from the Pacific side? I'm sorry, but there are traces of that damn "Asian Bermuda" in both the Tsushima Strait and the Sea of Japan; Drive all the way along China's coastline and then head straight east on the Shandong Peninsula into Korea? It seems that this last section is going to be sailed on the Yellow Sea, and for the time being, no one is willing to take this risk.

Compared to South Korea, Japan is even worse! Because they themselves are a complete island country, and there is no place to border with any continent, and in the case of ships that cannot dock, the Japanese are going crazy for a while!

After a stalemate for a while and finding that no one was willing to risk their lives to land on their own country, the two countries gritted their teeth and stomped their feet! Cheng, aren't you not coming? Then we'll go by ourselves, right? I don't believe a lot of words, the Second World War was so badly fought that our sea transport ships have not all sunk, you damn "Bermuda of the sea" can still sink all our ships?

The governments of the two countries urgently mobilized their own shipping companies, asking them to "put the country and the nation first at this critical moment for the survival of the country!" He organized a large, almost deathsquad-like ship to go to sea to bring back all kinds of raw materials and food that were urgently needed for his own development.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of their own sea transportation routes, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the ROK Navy decided to send warships and submarines to escort the entire distance from the Strait of Malacca to their homes.

To be honest, because the ships lost during this period were mainly South Korea and Japan, the two countries were indeed muttering in their hearts: this can't be some advanced military equipment developed by a country that has always been not very good to South Korea, and this equipment has good concealment, so take our ship and test it, right? Not a lot of words

The reason why those hapless warships and submarines were sunk by people before was mainly because they didn't turn on the active detection sonar during the voyage, and they were sunk after the damn thing got close to them silently, but this time, ...... Hmph, I've been on active sonar for detection the whole time, unless you're really a newly formed "Asian Bermuda", I don't believe I can't catch you! As long as you are discovered, you will be unlucky!

Facts have proved that the decision of Japan and South Korea is extremely correct, and the national tradition formed over the years has made the shipping companies in the two countries absolutely support the government, and they understand very well the truth that once the normal operation of the country has a problem, they are actually no better.

The ships of many shipping companies went out with a tragic face; Many private boat owners who only have one or two boats get on board in person, go out without a penny, and finally ...... This news was also known to Zhang Lan at the first moment.
