1430 Not yet confirmed (ask for a commuter pass)
"That's good, as for the cost, ......"
I didn't think that He Youlong had just started to say this, but he was interrupted by Hosokawa Yuka: "My brother will only help rent the Suzuka Circuit for Allen's sake, so there is no need to say more about money, our Mitsui clan is not inferior to yours." β
He Youlong froze when he heard this, and then said: "Miss Hosokawa, this is not a bad problem, the key is that you can't let the helpers break the bank, right?" Besides, my brother still settles accounts! Speaking of which, he also glanced at Faeron, obviously wanting Feren to help talk.
It's just that Fei Lun agrees with Hosokawa Yuka's attitude, after all, there are still Mitsui and her among the people who will play tomorrow, if you really want to count, it can be seen that the two brothers and sisters are taking He Youlong to play, plus the Mitsui chaebol itself has shares in the Suzuka Track, so it really doesn't matter if the money is not rich.
"Ah Long, it's okay, it's up to the host, since Youxiang said forget it, then let's do it!"
Hearing Fei Lun's words, He Youlong rolled his eyes, pointed to the coffee on the table and said, "Then wait for this, you are responsible for giving the money!" β
Fei Lun was a little speechless when he heard this, glanced at Nanako, who seemed to be smiling and drinking coffee, and pouted at He Youlong: "The beauty is on the side, you show your demeanor like this?" β
"yes, I didn't want to give you the opportunity to show off my demeanor!" He Youlong said with a shy face.
Nanako laughed when she heard this, and even Hosokawa Yuka couldn't help but laugh.
United States, Arlington County, Virginia, Navy Command.
Sitting at the front of the hall were several bigwigs who could attend the joint meeting of the three services, and none of them had the rank of lieutenant general. All four-star generals.
You know, in the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force. Six-star generals and special generals were once the highest and second ranks in the U.S. military, but they no longer exist. The five-star general, who was formerly the third rank, was retained as the nominal highest rank in the active U.S. military, and was only awarded in wartime.
Therefore, a four-star admiral is already the highest military rank in the US military in non-wartime, followed by lieutenant general, rear admiral, and brigadier general, and people with such a rank can only stand at the moment, and they are basically the heads of various powerful departments of the navy.
Seeing that the people were almost here, one of the silver-haired four-star generals sitting there broke the solemn atmosphere in the entire combat command room: "Jonathan, tell me in detail about the information that came back from the present side!" β
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" The Lieutenant General of Staff nodded at the old general.
In fact, the silver-haired admiral is none other than him. It was the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, CissΓ©. Hale, it can be said that the accident of the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy is under his jurisdiction.
"The current situation is like this, the 774 submarine on the mission of the Seventh Fleet is located southwest of the mouth of Tokyo Bay, which happens to belong to the area of Sagami Bay, and has now lost the ship's distress signal, so it is almost impossible to salvage the attacked ship in a short period of time!"
As the staff lieutenant general finished speaking, all the four-star generals present frowned. Without him, it is really because the location of the attack on the 774 submarine is too strange. If you don't get attacked early or late, you will have an accident as soon as you get out of Tokyo Bay, which is really tricky!
You know, the average water depth in Tokyo Bay is about fifteen meters. Therefore, the port of Yokohama, the port of Tokyo, the port of Chiba, the port of Kawasaki, and the port of Yokosuka in the bay are all considered excellent harbors, so why do you say that? Simple, just compare the Hongkong, which was previously leased by the British army. Which is the most famous port in HK, I didn't say. It must be Victoria Harbour, where the average water depth is 12 metres. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for the US Navy to choose to base itself in Yokosuka Port.
But out of the mouth of Tokyo Bay, what is the depth of the water in Sagami Bay? The average water depth is about 700 meters, and the deepest place is even more than 1,000 meters, not to mention the Virginia-class nuclear submarine that caused the accident, it is impossible to dive to the end even if it dives desperately, and the last signal positioning of the 774 submarine before the accident is about ten nautical miles southwest of the mouth of Tokyo Bay, where the water depth is two or three hundred meters, once the submarine is completely stranded on the bottom of the sea, it is basically equivalent to a time bomb, even if you want to salvage it, it is not so easy to get.
Of course, at present, the US military has not completely confirmed the accident of the 774 submarine, otherwise the bigwigs here would not still have this leisure meeting, but must quickly find out the gas bag, but even so, the alert level within the US military has been raised to orange, and even the navy has begun to mobilize strategic nuclear submarines.
"Now there are two questions, firstly, where did the attack on the 774 ship come from; Secondly, if we can't get the 774 ship back for a while, will there be a problem with the reactor inside it! Hale raised two fingers to show his attitude, and then looked at the four-star general next to him and said, "Director McNan, what is your opinion?" β
This is none other than the US Navy's Chief of Nuclear Power, McNann. Donald, he lifted his glasses, and said: "The reactor on our ship is not the Chernobyl nuclear power plant......"
As soon as this half of the words came out, it immediately caused laughter. I have to say that the generals present are all from the Cold War period, so they have no good impression of the former Soviet Union, and they are really happy to laugh at Lao Maozi.
"However, I don't know what the current situation of the 774 submarine is, and I don't know what kind of attack or blow it has encountered, so I don't dare to guarantee that the reactor will not have problems, after all, the [nuclear] thing, no matter how complete the protective measures are, there may be problems."
As soon as Donald's words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent. The generals present also know that there is no absolute thing in this world, even if all kinds of protective measures can avoid the explosion of the reactor, but once the damaged submarine that has been attacked is left underwater for too long, nuclear leakage is probably inevitable, and then the entire Sagami Bay and even Tokyo Bay will be polluted, in case I make a fuss, Washington is really not easy to deal with, after all, it is not easy to find a dog in Asia that can lick its belly from time to time, except for this, even South Korea is not so well-behaved, in the end, The kinship between the Korean and Korean ethnic groups is too deep.
At this time, the commander of the US Fleet Command, William . Admiral Goth spoke: "If this is the case, then our immediate priority is to determine the circumstances of the attack on the 774 ship, rescue the soldiers as much as possible, and at the same time tow the 774 back to the dock as much as possible to confirm where the attack came from!" β
However, when the people present heard this, they all felt as if they had been slapped twice, because the place where the 774 submarine had an accident was near the land and sea, and this is a place where the US Navy should control and must control it, but now the 774 submarine has an accident with his own 8108 submarine, isn't this Chi Guoguo's slap in the face? Are the nearby air defense, anti-submarine and other systems all decorations? I didn't even get the shadow of the enemy attack.
Just when everyone was embarrassed, Donald, who had never stopped writing and drawing on the paper, spoke again: "According to my estimates, if the search on the Yokosuka side is unfavorable, we can also find out after an hour and forty-three minutes whether the 774 ship has an accident." β
"Oh? McNang, why do you say that? Hale frowned.
"It's very simple, because ......" Speaking of this, Donald glanced at the generals present, and said leisurely: "What I am going to say next is confidential, although everyone present is not outsiders, but once what I say gets out, it will definitely go to a military court!" β
"Okay, okay, who doesn't know the rules of secrecy, you just say it!" Gort was impatient.
"Quite simply, there is a manometer in the inner wall of the reactor compartment, and once it is immersed in seawater for more than five minutes, it sends measurements to the satellites in the sky!" Donald said, "So we just need to confirm with the GuΓ² General Staff to know if something happened to the 774 ship." β
After hearing this, Hale raised his eyebrows and said, "There is still such a thing? So what if a soldier deliberately gets a bucket of seawater to wet the manometer? What will happen? β
"It can't be...... The biggest consequence was that the soldier was court-martialed! Donald pouted, "Because ordinary sailors don't know about the manometer on the inner wall of the reactor chamber, even if they accidentally find something like a manometer, they shouldn't know it or try it out so boring, and I'm talking about the soldiers who are responsible for taking care of the reactor, as for the other sailors, they can't even enter the reactor compartment, how can they find out?" β
"I see." Gort bowed his head and said, "You mean that once the reactor bay is flooded, then the entire 774 submarine will be bad!" β
Although everyone present thought of such a result, they were really pointed out, and they were still a little sad in their hearts, and the scene fell silent again.
"Of course, I also hope that the satellite of the staff will not receive the measurements, but once it does, I think we should be ready for war!" Donald reminded.
Hale and Goth glanced at each other when they heard this, and the solemn look between their eyebrows could not fade.
At the same time, Tokyo, Shinjuku-ku, Ichitani Motomura-cho, headquarters of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
"Yaga, what the hell is going on? Haven't you contacted the 8108 yet? Yasuhiro Nakaoka, deputy chief of staff, jumped on his feet and scolded his mother in the small conference room.
"There is no chief yet!" The secretary was also helpless about this, and at the same time added: "According to the news from Yokosuka, the US military also did not contact the 774 submarine!" β
"Yaga!" Nakaoka scolded again, "The U.S. military is the U.S. military, and we are us, do you think that the U.S. military will be responsible if something goes wrong with our submarine?" β

PS: In fact, the confirmation process of the accident of the ship and plane, unless it is wartime, is relatively long, not to mention far from it, such as the Malaysia Airlines flight, and for example, at the time of the Nine Miles, the attack took place dozens of minutes later, and the buildings began to collapse, and Bush confirmed the news of the "terrorist attack" from his staff!
