Chapter 974: Sailing Again

McKay sprayed Aubrica, and finally gave the angry Aubrika a person to vent to.

He was interviewed directly by CNN.

The reporter first took out the hot topics discussed on the Internet and asked O'Brica.

"Mr. President, first of all, the Internet is now very interested in the serious discrepancy between the statement issued by the government of the United States and the statement issued by the 32 Group, and we would like to know, so far, do you think the statement issued by the Government of the United States is correct, or the statement issued by the 32 Group is correct?"

An embarrassed smile appeared on O'Brica's face, and he spread his hands and said: "First of all, I must explain that the statement issued by the government of the United States is based on the research results of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, and after we received this information for the first time, we immediately issued an early warning to the world, please note this, we are the first country in the world to issue an early warning of animal tides." ”

"What does Mr. President mean is that we discovered the signs of the beast tide earlier than Huaxia Kingdom?" The reporter immediately asked.

"That's pretty important, so to speak." Aubreka nodded.

"But within the next 20 hours, the 32 Group overturned our conclusion and gave a specific time, scale and even a possible landing location."

Aubrika still nodded and smiled: "Yes, we noticed that the 32 Group has given more detailed information on this, and it is not surprising that you know that they are a corporate body that specializes in this research." ”

"So back to the topic, do you think the information they provided is accurate?" The reporter asked.

Aubreka shrugged, "I just mentioned it. They are a professional body about this, so they are extremely credible. ”

"You mean to say that the information they posted is correct? And ours is wrong? ”

"No, no, no. All I can say is that they provided more detailed information, but one thing we have to note is that our government was the first to detect the signs of the beast tide, and other countries are likely to invest resources to study this issue immediately based on our findings, so they are based on their expertise. More effective information is provided, and there is no such thing as a false statement that the information we publish is false. ”

"Mr. President, you mean. Did the 32 Group also study this phenomenon based on the information we provided? ”

Aubrika looked at the prompt directly opposite him, and then nodded: "Some people in my team think so, but I personally think that they are also engaged in research in this area. It is likely that they already have some answer in their minds. But for some reason, there was no warning to the outside world. ”

"Mr. President thinks that the 32 Group may also know that the beast tide is approaching, but for some reason, it has not been announced to the outside world, is that what you mean?"

"Yes! They may have the ability. Aubrecca replied with a smile, "But that's not the topic to be discussed today. ”

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. President, we have one more question. Mr. Mackay, the leader of the Elephant Party, questioned you with two questions, the first is that you believe that you have made a statement indiscriminately, which has caused damage to the image of the United States; On the other hand, I also think that you cannot lead the people of the United States through this crisis, what is your response to this? ”

Aubreca smiled slightly, and it was clear that this was the point of his answer today.

"Mr. Mackay raised two questions, so for the first question, the issue of indiscriminate statements, it is simply nonsense, I have just said, as a major country in charge of the world, we naturally have the responsibility to send early warning to the world the information we have, about the life and death of human beings, as for the error in information, technically speaking, it is relatively difficult to avoid, I do not deny this."

"But as Mr. Mackay said, we know such information, can we hide it? If we don't warn, who will pay for the danger when it comes, is it Mr. Mackay? ”

"If we don't do anything because of the statement we issued, the information is not so accurate, then we are really not responsible, at least we issued this early warning, people all over the world began to pay attention to and face up to this problem, we gave people all over the world more time to prepare, so any accusations against the statement we issued are groundless and absurd."

"As for the second question, I just want to ask Mr. Mackay briefly, if you think that I can't lead the people of the United States through this crisis, then what have you done, Mr. Mackay? At least I'm on the front lines, reviewing the fortifications we're building, we're reviewing our precautionary measures, and we're cooperating with some foreign professional organizations, including professional groups like the 32 Group, all with one purpose, and that's to tide over the difficulties with the people. ”

"And I'm going to visit California myself to fight these monsters with the people there, and at least not to go back to his estate the next day and make coffee the next day after accusing me on TV, as Mr. McKay did."

Aubreca's interview lasted almost more than an hour, the first half of which was all about his response and counter-attacking hot issues, and the second half, he did come up with some dry goods.

For example, the planning of the Great Wall plan of the United States version is shown.

A training scene for an emergency rapid reaction force dedicated to dealing with Spectreclaw monsters is shown.

It also roughly explained the defense concept of the United States to block the phantom claw monster and so on.

Of course, after O'Brica's counterattack came out, McKay did not admit it quietly, he immediately set off for Washington State, California, and then returned to the East Coast New York State and other coastal states to say that he wanted to be with the local people.

In addition, a bunch of celebrities were also gathered to donate money to buy equipment to defend against the Talon Monsters for the local people.

At the same time, he also went on an interview to refute Aubrica.

When the people of the United States were tearing up a large area, Xingye completed the overhaul.

With five days to go before the predicted tide of the beast, he set sail again.

This time, Ningyi was aiming for a position of four hundred nautical miles or even five hundred nautical miles. There's a small island over there.

The island is said to have a lair of the Red Demon Dragon

And at the same time release the drone to detect the situation at a distance of five hundred nautical miles.

Of course, because of the approaching beast tide. The number of claw monsters in the sea will definitely increase, and the danger and unpredictability will increase.

So they also take safety measures for emergencies that may arise.

For example, the staff was reduced again, and more people were avoided on the voyage as much as possible.

And this time, the main purpose is to test, and once the test and exploration are over, they will immediately return to full speed, and will not stay at sea to strangle the Spectral Talon.

Even they made the Xingfu ready, in case something went wrong with the Xingye. The Xingfu immediately dispatched support.

At the same time, the military was informed that in case it didn't work, fighter planes and helicopters would also be dispatched. Evacuate by air rescue.

After making many preparations, the Xingye set off again from Beiling Port.

With the experience of the last time, this time the Xingye advanced directly and rapidly, and they almost skipped the first 150 nautical miles.

It was only one hundred and fifty nautical miles. Begin arming observation equipment.

Of course. Although it has been four or five days, the situation in the coastal waters has changed significantly compared to four or five days ago.

The Spectral Monsters were noticeably more numerous, and they were even more agitated.

They even noticed that the Spectreclaw were fighting with each other, and the scene was quite ferocious.

An adult Spectreclaw tore a small Spectreclaw into pieces, and swallowed its head.

This kind of cannibalistic scene, Ning Yi has encountered it for the first time.

And this time, before they had reached two hundred nautical miles, they had been attacked more than two hundred times before and after.

This is also the result of the installation of anti-collision spikes on the Xingye.

The Xingye number of this overhaul. Deliberately at some of the key hits under the bottom of the boat, heavy spiked crash nails were pretended. Once the Spectral Claw hits the ship, the barbed ramp is likely to hook the Spectreclaw to the bottom of the ship, and once the Spectreclaw is dead, it will become a natural barrier.

So along the way, there were already six or seven ghost-clawed monsters that had become part of the battleship because they had hit the crash nails, and had become the outer armor of the bottom of the ship.

But in this case, there are still phantom claws that continue to pounce on them in a desperate manner.

It can also be seen that although on the surface, the offshore area is still calm, but the open sea has actually become a pot of boiling water.

Harassed by the Talon Monster, the battleship sailed at a speed of twenty-five knots for two hundred nautical miles, and then reached the sea area it had reached last time.

Compared to the last time, the number of Spectre Claws in the sea has also increased at least three times.

The sound of clattering is endless.

There were at least twenty Ghost Claws hanging from under the ship, and the weight of the hull had increased by nearly sixty tons for no apparent reason.

Fortunately, this possibility was thought of in advance, and the Xingye was also very powerful in removing some unnecessary weapons and equipment, so it had no effect on the speed.

Soon, the battleship broke through to three hundred nautical miles.

At this time, the drone began to be released, and while reconnoitring, the drone was sent to the sea area 500 nautical miles away to drop the detector.

At this point, the phantom claw monsters in the sea seemed to be tired and no longer harassed the Xingye.

But of course, there was already a string of Ghost Claw Monsters hanging from the bottom of the battleship, and they couldn't do anything if they wanted to.

The only trouble is that the course is a little irregular due to the presence of the Ghost Claw Monster under the ship.

It wasn't until they reached about three hundred and twenty nautical miles that the Red Demon Dragon finally appeared.

The detection radar soon spotted a large group of Red Demon Dragons heading straight for the area where the Xingye was located, numbering between thirty and forty.

Based on the direction in which they flew over, it was basically possible to determine that this group of monsters was probably from the Gonghu Islands.

It is also one of the important lairs of the Red Demon Dragon.

The Mi Army and Huaxia Guo once used short- and medium-range missiles to attack Shrimp Island, which is attached to Gonghu Island, but the effect was not obvious.

Looking at the Red Demon Dragon's battle, the target should be directly towards the Xingye.

But this is not surprising, now that the Xingye is only forty or fifty nautical miles away from Shrimp Island, it would be normal if those monsters were alert.

Ning Yi went to sea this time, and his target was the Gonghu Islands.

The area of Gonghu Island is about the same as that of Linglan Island, and one of its affiliated islands is called Yinliang Island, which happens to be somewhat similar to the Anshi Islands.

So this time, Ning Yi can be said to be an exercise to learn how to land on the island.

Especially if there are Ghostclaw monsters in the sea.

There is a port and an airport on Dora Island, but it has been abandoned for a long time.

So almost a few hundred meters from the island, the battleship could not get any closer.

With a distance of almost more than 200 meters, Ning Yi can only rely on his personal ability or a speedboat to land on the island.

With the ability to be comfortable and at a distance of two hundred meters, he flew with the imperial qi without ventilation and without any pressure, let alone stepping on the sea.

But of course, considering that the island was one of the Red Demon Dragon's lairs, Ning Yi didn't dare to let the battleship get too close.

And now, those monsters are even taking the initiative to attack the Xingye.

Judging from the scale of thirty or forty heads, it is almost half of the archipelago red demon dragon speculated by Gong Hu.

If you kill them or scare them away, it will be of great help in the next landing on the island.

Today's Xingye set sail at more than four o'clock in the morning, after more than ten hours of sailing, it was only evening at the moment, and the visibility in the sky was still quite high, and soon, the Red Demon Dragon appeared in sight.

And it actually made up a formation, a goose shape.

When there was still an altitude of about a thousand meters, the captain of the ship ordered to open fire according to Ning Yi's request.

I'm not here to kill the Red Demon Dragon today, I can dispel it.

Four phalanxes simultaneously bombarded targets.

Soon, observing through the telescope, Ning Yi found that although the Red Demon Dragon's dodge action was extremely fast, the attack firepower was too fierce, and at least three or four Red Demon Dragons were shot.

One of the Red Demon Dragons was hit by almost twenty or thirty cannonballs in an instant, and was accurately hit in the head and headshot, falling from the air in one fell instantly.

The other Red Demon Dragons' originally dense goose-shaped formations all dispersed at once, flying in all directions, probably looking for the source of the attack.

Next, the Phalanx controlled the speed of the shots and began to attack harassingly with burst fire.

After a few rounds of fighting, at least seven or eight Red Demon Dragons were wounded, and the monsters dispersed.

However, before Ning Yi and them could hurry to celebrate, the scattered Red Demon Dragons slowly approached the Xingye from all directions.

As a last resort, the Phalanx began to launch powerful attacks again.

After blasting down the three Red Demon Dragons, the group of monsters finally left with a howl.

However, the Xingye was also attacked by the Red Demon Dragon's beast roar.

On one side, the search radar was damaged, the optical sensor was malfunctioning, the glass of the bridge was shattered, and an observer and a third officer were slightly injured.

Of course, after paying these prices, those Red Demon Dragons finally stopped coming to their deaths senselessly.

After a few circles outside the range of the Phalanx, he finally left in a huff.

However, looking at the direction of their escape, there is no doubt that they are going directly to the Gonghu Islands. (To be continued......)
