Chapter 1720: The sky is falling

As Japan's most advanced surface capital ship in service, the Aegis missile destroyer headed by the "King Kong" has always been Japan's pride, and in the sequence of Kongo-class missile destroyers, the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer, which has just been put into service, is the most technologically advanced and the most advanced overall level among the Kongo-class Aegis missile destroyers. Even for insurance purposes, the four Kongo-class Aegis missile destroyers, the Kongo, Kirishima, Myoko, and Chokai, had to be in constant contact with the headquarters of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force...... Anyway, it's a surface ship, so you don't have to keep it as secret as a submarine.

At this time, the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea" lost contact with the base, and all means of communication could not be contacted, so it can only mean one thing: the Bird Sea may have encountered a big problem

"When was the last time you made contact with the Torikai?" Despite knowing that the probability of something bad was more than ninety percent, Ono still asked the person on the phone with a one in 10,000 chance.

"Twenty minutes ago, sir," said the person on the phone, who also knew that the matter was urgent, and quickly briefed him on the situation, "At that time, the Torikai was on a routine training mission, and the communications officer of the Aegis missile destroyer 'Torikai' was making a routine report to the base, and the contact was suddenly interrupted during the routine report, and then we could no longer contact the Bird Sea. ”

After finishing Ohno Gongtong, such a thought suddenly popped up in his head, and his mind was already blank

At this point, if he hadn't understood that the unfortunate Aegis missile destroyer 'Bird Sea' had been attacked by someone, then he had really lived for so many years in vain.

"Sir, sir......" I don't know how long it took, Ono Gongtong was finally woken up by an anxious voice on the phone, subconsciously picked up the microphone, and Ohno Gongtong said to the phone, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sir, I hope you can get to the Defense Agency to deal with this matter as soon as possible." The person on the phone said in a slightly obscure voice.

"Okay, I see, I'll be over right away." Ono nodded, but he was not going to go over soon, after learning about the mysterious disappearance of the Aegis missile destroyer 'Bird Sea', he had to report to Prime Minister Inu immediately.

Although by now, Ono Kotong was very sure in his heart that the Aegis missile destroyer 'Bird Sea' would not survive nine out of nine, but ...... Who has the ability to quietly knock out the Bird Sea under the detection of the many advanced "electronic eyes" on the Aegis missile destroyer 'Bird Sea', and even let them not even make the most basic reaction? Ohno Koto fell into deep thought.

Surface ships of the Navy of which country? Ohno Koji first thought of this, but then Ohno shook his head, feeling that this was impossible, and if there were surface warships of other countries' navies in that area, not to mention whether the 'Torikai' Aegis missile destroyer had taken appropriate precautions against them, it would be absolutely impossible for the signal of the incoming missiles alone to evade the detection of the advanced AN/SPY-1 passive phased array radar on the 'Chokai' Aegis missile destroyer. The Aegis missile destroyer Bird Sea was directly defeated without even releasing the most basic rain protection and distress information...... the Aegis air defense system that the "Bird Sea" missile destroyer is most proud of, and Ono Koto absolutely does not believe that there is a ship-to-ship missile in this world that can quietly kill Bird Sea.

Since it is not a surface ship, then the threat is from the air?

However, after thinking for a while, Ono also denied this idea: This is also impossible, the reason is still the same as above, there is absolutely no aircraft in this world that can avoid the detection of the world's most advanced AN/SPY-1 passive phased array radar on the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea", and the AN/SPY-1 passive phased array radar, one of the most important components of the Aegis air defense system, has a detection range of up to 500 kilometers. No aircraft in the world can escape its surveillance, and even the F-22A "Raptor" stealth heavy fighter, the only stealth fighter in service in the world, cannot do so. ,

If the threat does not come from the surface of the water, nor from the air, does it come from underwater? Compared with the stiffness of the water and the fighters in the air, it seems that only submarines, ghosts in the sea, can pose a huge threat to the Aegis missile destroyer "Chokai".

Submarine? But after thinking for a while, Ohno immediately denied this idea: the reason is very simple, submarines sailing underwater, naturally have to produce a certain amount of background noise, so far, there is no type of submarine in the world has the ability to have its own noise lower than the ocean background noise, even the quietest American "Seawolf-class" nuclear submarine in the world, although the lower the background noise of the submarine itself, the less easy it is to be found, but in any case, as long as the background noise of your submarine cannot be lower than the noise of the ocean, It will definitely be discovered by the sonar on the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea", the only difference is that the detection distance is different.

In addition, although it is possible that the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer was lurking on the bottom of the sea area by submarines of other countries and attacked the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer at an appropriate time, this possibility is not very large, and the daily route of the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer is top secret, and it is impossible for any other country to get the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer's sea flight route and lurk in the vast sea to ambush the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer.

Even if we take 10,000 steps back, what country really has the great power to get the road map of the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer Hanghang, and successfully sat on the bottom of the sea where the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer must have passed, and launched a torpedo at the moment when the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer passed by, but during the period between the launch of the torpedo and the time it was attacked, could it be that the advanced electronic reconnaissance equipment on the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer was not able to eat, and it was not discovered at all? This is impossible, absolutely impossible, even the most advanced wake self-guided torpedo in the world at present, it is impossible to do this, and even no torpedo in the world has such a fast underwater travel speed, even the Russian "Buran" supercavitating torpedo, which is said to have a maximum travel speed of 300 knots, cannot reach such a fast speed

The most important thing is that this sea area is basically the chassis of the Americans, and Russia basically does not have any military presence in this sea area, and if the Russian submarines entered this sea area, they would have been discovered by the United States all kinds of listening equipment all over the bottom of the Persian Gulf, so it is naturally impossible for the Russians to do so.

Although there is also a possibility that the Americans left a backdoor in the Aegis system, and they used the backdoor to attack themselves, but speaking of which, there is no reason at all, why did the Americans do this? They are worshipped as ancestors by the Japanese in Japan, and there is nothing that offends the Americans, and they have no reason to do so...... No matter what you do, there has to be a reason, right? What's more, for a country like the United States, which cannot afford to be profitable, it is naturally even more impossible to do things that are not beneficial.

As for China's underwater submarine combat forces? Directly did not be taken into account by Ono Gongtong.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

With a confused head and clueless thoughts, Koji Ohno came to the Japanese Defense Agency, and from the outside, the Japanese Defense Agency at this moment was brightly lit.

Although the disappearance of the "Chokai" Aegis missile destroyer that had inexplicably "disappeared" occurred in the Persian Gulf, more than 10,000 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland, Ono discovered with sorrow that inside the Defense Agency, there was still a panic and chaos, as if the mysterious guy who attacked the "Chokai" Aegis missile destroyer was about to attack the Japanese mainland.

After all, since World War II, the Japanese army, which has been under the wing of the Americans, has not experienced a single baptism of blood and fire, and it seems normal for these guys who have not experienced the exercise of blood and fire to behave in this way when the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea" suddenly lost contact with the Aegis missile destroyer, and when it was still in contact with the base. ,

"What does it look like," disappointed Koji Ohno yelled at the panicked staff.

In Japanese society, the concept of superiority and inferiority is very important, criticized by superiors, and regarded by Japanese subordinates as having huge shortcomings, especially if you think carefully about the actions of yourself and others just now, it is indeed very inconsistent with the requirements of soldiers.

"Alright, give me a briefing." Ono Gongtong glanced at everyone majestically, nodded with satisfaction, and spoke again, his heart really felt like he had chewed two catties of Coptis chinensis...... In a moment, I will report to Prime Minister Canine why this damn Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea" has mysteriously disappeared

Ohno Gongtong didn't think that he was facing the scolding and anger of Prime Minister Dog, and he would behave much better than these unlucky people who had just been reprimanded by himself, but the only thing was that his roles had been reversed, and he was still scolding others just now, and he was about to become the unlucky guy who was scolded by others in the blink of an eye.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The puppy slept soundly, and during this time, about these days were the most soundly sleeping days for the puppy.

With the promise of the head of the Goto family and His Majesty the Emperor, the little dog seems to have seen the glory of placing his tablet at the Yasukuni Shrine a hundred years later, but at this time, a rapid ringing of the phone woke the little dog from his sleep.

"What's going on?" The puppy asked impatiently to the secretary on the phone.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister," the beautiful female voice on the phone looked trembling at the moment, and it was obvious that she also understood how serious it was to wake up the puppies at this time, "The Director General of the Defense Agency, Kotoi Ohno, has asked to see you urgently, saying that there is an emergency to report to you in person. ”

Yes? Commander Ohno wants to report to himself at this time? The little dog was stunned for a moment: could it be that there was some major military problem? Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Ono Gongtong to wake me up at this time, but what could it be that could wake him up regardless of his possible anger?

The little dog can't figure it out, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it, the important thing is that if it weren't for such a big event as the sky falling, Ono would never dare to do it.

"Okay, let him in, tell him to go to the small parlor and wait, and I'll be there right away." The little dog said to his gentle female secretary.

"Yes, Prime Minister." The female secretary general breathed a sigh of relief, since the Prime Minister said so, it means that she probably won't be angry because of tonight's incident.

When the puppy got dressed and came to the small living room, he was surprised to find that instead of sitting there waiting for him, he was walking around a little anxiously.

The little dog's heart immediately sank, this is definitely not a good signal, what kind of news is it, so that Ohno Gongtong didn't even sit down quietly and wait for himself to come?

"Prime Minister," Seeing the little dog walk in, Ohno Gongtong's eyes suddenly lit up, and before the little dog could say anything, Ohno Gongtong had already taken the first step to open his mouth, and said in a panic, "Something big has happened" This panic, but nine out of ten are pretended by Ohno Gongtong.

"What the hell is going on? Explain it to me" Sure enough, everything was as expected by Ohno Gongtong, seeing Ohno's performance, coupled with Ohno's action, the little dog's heart kept sinking, and he whispered to Ohno Gongtong.

"Yes, yes," Koto Ohno wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Prime Minister, something has happened, one of our Kong-class Aegis missile destroyers on a routine escort mission in the Persian Gulf suddenly lost contact with the base when they were in contact with the base, and we can no longer contact with this Aegis missile destroyer." ”

Although he had expected that Ohno Gongtong would definitely not bring him good news, after hearing Ohno Gongtong's words, the little dog's heart suddenly sank

What is the concept of Kongo-class Aegis missile destroyers in Japan? To put it bluntly, the Kongo-class Aegis missile destroyer is the strongest weapon of Japan's caretaker and the most powerful equipment in Japan's confrontation with China, but it is such a conventional "strategic nuclear weapon" in the minds of the Japanese, and it has disappeared so quietly? And he disappeared while he was in contact with the base? In an instant, panic and a sense of absurdity rose in the dog's heart at the same time, and he even extremely doubted that this news was a joke made by Koto Ohno and himself? ,

However, a puppy is a puppy, and if he can fight his way out of many political talents and become the prime minister of Japan, it is naturally impossible for him to be unknown and immediately grasp the point of the problem, "What do you say?" The Kongo-class Aegis missile destroyer disappeared while communicating with the base, and was it not attacked by surprise? Well, also, what is the name of this warship? ”

"Yes, Prime Minister, this warship suddenly disappeared when it was in contact with the base, and the lowly official has personally verified it with the Defense Agency, and before the disappearance, there was no abnormality in this warship, not only did it not find any signs of attack, but it also did not find any natural and unnatural anomalies, as if it had suddenly encountered a supernatural event and disappeared," Ohno said respectfully, and by the way, he gave a brief introduction to this strange missing warship, " The name of this warship, which suddenly disappeared, was called the Bird Sea, and it was the most advanced of the Kongo-class Aegis missile destroyers of our Imperial Japanese Navy. ”

Disappeared as if you had suddenly encountered a supernatural event? After hearing this news, the little dog breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Since this is the case, in terms of the advanced weapons and equipment on the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea", it means that there is a great possibility that it was not a sudden sneak attack, although it is not known why the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer is missing, but as long as someone is not deliberately targeting Japan, it is a good thing.

"At that time, the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea" was in that sea area? What are you doing there? Now, is the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea" missing or uncontactable? What does the meteorological department say? Is it possible that the communication was interrupted due to a sudden change in the weather? How do you judge this? And how do you deal with it? The puppy thought of a series of questions in an instant, and many of them instantly grasped the core of the matter.

"Before the disappearance, the Aegis missile destroyer "Bird Sea" was carrying out routine patrols and escort missions in the waters of the Persian Gulf, and was actively conducting corresponding ocean-going combat training," Ono explained the situation to the little dog in an orderly manner, "At the first time of the incident, after discussion, we believed that the possibility of being attacked was very small, and as of now, we believe that the "Bird Sea" Aegis missile destroyer should be judged to have lost contact. In addition, the Defense Agency has dispatched the Murayu-class destroyer Denden, which is currently on duty in that area, to immediately go to the relevant waters to verify the situation. ”
