Chapter 53: The Divine Beast Appears
His Excellency the envoy's threat is indeed very powerful, after all, even the US imperialists have a deep sense of powerlessness to deal with these seafoods.
It's not that they have strong combat effectiveness, just that big octopus and a heavy torpedo can almost get results, the key is that they can't find it, the vast sea, thousands of meters deep sea water is its best protection, even if the military strength of the US imperialists, it is impossible to detect every seabed in the Pacific Ocean.
Human beings now do have the ability to explore millions of kilometers away in space, and even land on other planets, but they are still powerless to deal with the sea around them, and most of the thousands of meters of deep sea are as far away as dozens of light years.
What's more, the only means of detection is active sonar, which is impossible to tell whether the water is a reef or an octopus disguised as a reef.
Of course, it is also impossible for US imperialism to give in because of this threat, not so much because of face, but because it is impossible to accept their demands, which is not a matter of money, but will cause great damage to the global strategy of US imperialism.
Take amber as an example, 90% of the production of this thing comes from Kaliningrad, so it can only be purchased from Lucia, even at the current market price, two hundred tons will have to send the old KGB more than a billion dollars that he urgently needs, not to mention that his urine price does not increase tenfold is sorry for his nickname Napu the Great, tens of billions of dollars of windfall fall into his hands, how many of the latest fighters and warships will become?
That alone is enough.
As for what's next...
There's nothing to do next, escort!
Immediately after that, the US imperialist government announced that in order to protect Pacific shipping, the US imperialist navy and the Sea of Japan would provide escort for merchant ships.
There are only a few main routes in the Pacific, from San Francisco or Los Angeles to Asia, or from Hawaii to Australia, and from the Panama Canal to Asia through Hawaii, it is impossible to fully escort the ship, even if the United States does not have so many capital ships, but there is no problem with all of them being concentrated on one route.
In the future, merchant ships from the Panama Canal will not go to Hawaii, including San Francisco, Seattle, and even Vancouver, and all merchant ships from San Francisco, Seattle, and even Vancouver will sail along the shallow waters of the coastal waters to Los Angeles to concentrate, and on the route from Los Angeles to Tokyo, all the US imperialist and Japanese Sea autonomous ships that can be mobilized will be placed at intervals and arranged in a line that stretches for thousands of kilometers, and all merchant ships will sail on this line.
Anyway, with the size of the octopus, it is impossible to enter the first island chain, as long as it is escorted outside the first island chain, the rest of them can go as they please, including those going to Australia, enter the first island chain, and then go south, as for the increase in shipping costs caused by this, there is no way to do this, only to provide subsidies from the government.
Although the Japanese are full of resentment about this plan, since their godfather has decided, they can only accept it.
However, the trouble with this plan is also obvious, that is, the number of warships, the active sonar action distance is usually not more than 20 nautical miles, that is, 37 kilometers, considering the octopus's cunning and ability to change its appearance, coupled with the depth of the sea and other aspects, the minimum distance between the two escort ships cannot be less than 40 kilometers, and it is necessary to form enough overlapping areas to effectively search.
And Los Angeles to Tokyo is more than 8,000 kilometers in a straight line, which means that at least more than 200 warships are needed, and the performance of these warships must not be too bad, at least they must have the ability to launch Asroc anti-submarine missiles.
The torpedo will definitely not work, and the Chunhui Maru will not be able to reach out in less than five minutes from the time it calls for help to the time it loses contact, and it will certainly not be able to catch up with the torpedo launched from 20 kilometers away in these five minutes, only anti-submarine missiles will do.
God is pitiful, the US imperialists and the sea have all the surface warships combined, and at this time there are only about 300 ships, and even fewer can launch anti-submarine missiles, and some capital ships have such capabilities, and it is difficult to say whether there are 200 in total, and they can't all be transferred to the Pacific Ocean, right? Then the rest of the country is left alone, do the hooligan countries still need to be guarded, do little Lucia still need to be protected, and do the democratic process in the Middle East continue?
All in all, if you choose to escort the ship, then you must go all out with all the naval forces in the Pacific, including the second fleet, which has rushed to reinforce it, and other things can only be put aside for the time being, such as the crisis in the Yellow Sea.
Because at this time, the joint maritime exercise of the Hualujin trilateral has ended, and the warships participating in the exercise have accepted the invitation of the Jin government to visit Haizhou, and are currently lining up from the Jinguokong Zhì Sea area between Guò Bailing Island and the Wengjin Peninsula, and the hiding place of His Excellency the Divine Beast is in the Jinguokong Zhì sea area between Yanping Island and Haizhou.
In response, all the main ships of the Stick Navy, including three King Sejong-class, six Chungmu-Gong Yi Sun-sin-class, and three Gwanggae-tu-class ships, were concentrated in these outer waters, and the two sides were actually in a state of standoff.
What is even more terrifying is that, according to the latest satellite maps, all the strategic nuclear submarines of Lucia and China have left Hong Kong and are missing.
"Do you accept their kindness?"
Boss Wang, who has returned to his home, is pacing in the living room of his house like a great man who decides the fate of mankind, it should be said that there is no danger to His Excellency the Divine Beast now, the stick is just a swollen face and a fat man, even if there is no Hualu two fleets, they don't dare to start a war with Xiao Sun for this, in the end, those tens of thousands of cannons are not vegetarians, not to mention that now his godfather will definitely not have time to take care of this.
It's just for the sake of face, and for the sake of face, risking the risk of being wiped out with shells in your capital is too brain-dead.
Now, with the addition of the fleets of the two countries, they are even less daring.
In this way, it seems that it is indeed better to let His Excellency the Divine Beast climb out, pay respects to the Sun Palace, or visit the Kremlin, as well as our Forbidden City, of course, by the way, to tell the people of the world the request of His Majesty the Emperor of the Atlantis Empire, it is estimated that there is no need to wait for the US Emperor to promise compensation, and the price of those gems will skyrocket, and at this time, Boss Wang has hoarded countless raw materials, but without amber, he does not want to grab business with Emperor Pu for the time being.
Now that you've decided to do so, the rest is pretty straightforward.
Haizhou Bay of the Kingdom of Jin, which is only a dozen kilometers of estuary bay, is also considered to be a gathering of warships at this time, led by the Varyag, the flagship of the Lucia Pacific Fleet, including two Dreadnought-class destroyers, and more than 30 large and small warships of the two countries are all gathered here. In the distance, the two regional air defense ships and four new frigates of the North Sea Fleet of China are divided into another formation, and it is clear that if they move, they will provide air defense cover for the Lukin fleet, and those terrifying heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles on the Varyag will deliver a fatal blow to the three Aegis destroyers.
On the Varyag, Xiao Sun, who personally came to comfort the officers and soldiers participating in the exercise, walked out of the helicopter with an oily smile on his face, and then warmly shook hands with the commander of Lucia's fleet.
Recently, his life has been extremely comfortable, and the two main backers who had not had a good face for him have all taken a 180-degree turn, not only sending him food and oil, but even beginning to agree to provide him with military assistance, including the sale of the latest fighter jets and anti-aircraft missiles that he has been looking forward to, and the large sum of dollars knocked from the stick some time ago has also made him no longer shy.
However, just as the two hands were clasped together, the huge battleship shook violently under their feet.
"There's something underwater!" Immediately afterwards, a soldier of the Lu Kingdom lay on the guardrail and pointed to the sea and exclaimed.
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw a pillar more than a meter thick and covered with seaweed sticking out from under the water, and then a cyan shadow lined up the sea to reveal the sea, and then two big periscope-like eyes stood up.
"Divine beast, divine beast, look, the divine beast is out!" Little Sun shook off the hand of the commander of Lucia's fleet, walked quickly to the guardrail, and shouted excitedly as he pointed to the sea like a child with candy.
At this time, the whole sea was boiling, and countless naval soldiers rushed to the deck excitedly, looking at the huge crab that was gradually rising from the water with incredible eyes.
"Sound the battle alarm!" The commander of Lucia's fleet quickly sobered up from the shock and shouted as he looked at the equally alarmed stick fleet in the distance.
The terrible battle sirens on the sea surface sounded instantly, and then the same sirens sounded in the distance in the Huaguo fleet, and the sailors who had been watching the excitement on the deck were quickly swept away, and all returned to their respective posts, one by one the main turrets turned, all the guns pointed at the stick fleet, and the bow of the Varyag was facing in the distance, and one after another stout heavy anti-ship missiles were ready to fire.
Similarly, in the Chinese fleet, destroyer frigates also showed their side sides, and missile launches were directed at the stick fleet.
"Order our army to pull out all the artillery on the demarcation line and put the missiles into a state ready for launch!" Xiao Sun, who was admiring the majestic posture of the mythical beast there, excitedly said to an officer who followed him, who immediately took out his mobile phone, well, he did take out his mobile phone, and then relayed Xiao Sun's order to Pyongyang.
For a time, in the reinforced concrete permanent fortifications north of the entire demarcation line, which had been built for many years, the battle sirens sounded incessantly, and large-caliber heavy artillery began to be pulled out of hiding places, and tens of thousands of black hole guns all pointed to the south, pointing to the bustling skyscraper dozens of kilometers away.
Once ordered, it will turn into a sea of fire in an instant.
