Chapter 475: Fighting for Treasure
"The two aircraft carriers, the USS Forrest and the USS Raider, and the two battleships USS Iowa and USS Wisconsin, are the pride and glory of our US Navy, and now I hand them over to you, hoping that they can be rejuvenated again!" The Minister of the Navy said solemnly to Dennis. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Commander of the Maritime Escort Fleet of the Golden Triangle International Security Corporation of the United States, Denis, assures Your Excellency and the U.S. Navy that their glory will endure and shine in modern warfare!" Denis replied solemnly.
The two battleships fired their guns into the air, slowly set sail out of the port, circumnavigated South America, entered the Pacific waters, and rushed to New Caledonia and French Polynesia to carry out fire support missions.
Pockmarks are not called pockmarks, they are called pit people! I knew you had invited mercenaries, why were we so obsessed with opposing independence? In the face of the powerful deterrence of force, the parliament, which declared that it would try the leader of the opposition party, has completely become dumb.
"Mr. Minister, if we don't get the support of the Navy and Air Force, if we don't get the support of weapons, ammunition and war materials, we can't withstand the attack of the mercenary corps!" The commanders of the garrisons of the two overseas territories hurriedly called the Ministry of Defense.
"In addition to the military satellites that can give information support, there is no way to give you other support for the time being, the nearest French Guiana, also has a range of more than 13,000 kilometers, and the Mirage fighter is only a fraction of it at most, and it can't fly at all, but for the interests of France and the honor of the army, you must fight to the end, and the time for the test has come!" The Minister of Defense was also helpless.
Nima, you bigwigs, hiding in Paris, drinking wine and eating a feast, have you taken into account that the lives of our officers and soldiers are being threatened? In the end of the battle, what did you say was light, just a few manpower and guns, and a few helicopters, how to fight with the three armies of the mercenary army, the land, and the air, you simply told us to prepare a rope and hang the whole thing, so that we can still end up with a whole corpse!
"I do not like to start a war, which would mean much suffering and tragedy, inform Genesys that these French soldiers should be persuaded to surrender first, according to our rules, and if they do not come to their senses, use the naval guns to give a serious warning, and if they hold on, they will take the means of attack."
"Order the fleet of the Indian Jakarta Naval Base to start departing for the predetermined target, and the strategic bombers of the air base will be ready to take off at any time, and while carrying out the bombing, the strategic transport aircraft wing will send the two brigade-sized combat teams of the Marine Corps to the island to participate in the battle, remembering, to keep the casualties of both the enemy and us to a minimum." Wu Chen said.
For the French garrison in the two overseas territories, this is an unwinnable war, the contrast in strength between the two sides is too great, and none of the military observers of various countries are optimistic about France, unless there is a miracle.
The sudden appearance of a huge fleet in the waters near Gibraltar immediately alarmed the top brass of the Spanish government and military, who were in a panic for a while, and hurriedly dispatched a naval fleet to defend it, and the air force dispatched planes to conduct long-distance surveillance.
This is a British task force led by the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal and the amphibious assault ship USS Ocean, which appeared in Spanish waters on a rampage, is the British government ready to go to war with the Spanish government?
Also arriving in this area are four Type 42 missile destroyers and five Type 23 missile frigates, as well as four Avantgar-class strategic nuclear submarines and four Trafalgar-class attack nuclear submarines, in a sense, this is the most elite main fleet of the British Navy!
"What are the British trying to do, to provoke a war with the Sussex? Inform the Navy and Air Force not to enter into a direct conflict with each other, but also not to back down, we in Spain are never afraid of the enemy, no matter how strong! The prime minister said.
In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that the treasure of the shipwreck of the Sussex, according to historical records, is only ten tons of gold coins, worth about 3 billion pounds, and it is not worth the British dispatch of such a powerful task force to put on a posture of not hesitating to go to war.
The most important thing is that the Spanish government and navy obstructed the salvage work of the Sussex, and it had to be said that the place where the wreck was in Spanish waters, which made the British government feel very faceless, and in the final analysis, it was the result of the toss of the ownership of Gibraltar.
The honor of the British Empire cannot be trampled under the feet of Spain, the British government believes that its sense of existence is weak, and it should make a voice to make some moves to brush up its sense of existence, even if the empire falls, it is not something that you can bully as a Spain.
In the face of the powerful British naval fleet, the Spanish government had to retreat and only take defensive measures to avoid causing conflicts, and if it really fought, its own naval fleet would not be the opponent of the British fleet, especially the six nuclear submarines of others!
You must know that these four avant-garde-class strategic nuclear submarines can launch US Trident nuclear missiles, which can be said to be equivalent to the treasure of the country, and one can launch 16 missiles and carry 192 nuclear warheads, which is an obvious nuclear weapon deterrent!
What is even more terrifying is that it is a person who knows that the United States and Britain wear the same pants, and although Spain and Britain are both members of NATO, if they really fight, the US government will definitely favor the British government, and there is no doubt about it.
In Budapest, Hungary, the crew of the "Tales of the Night" series is working intensively, the first part is the scene where it was filmed, and the second part is still the same. The opening scene of the script was to be filmed in the mountains of Vancouver, Canada, but it hadn't snowed yet, so the Hungarian part was filmed first.
"Hahahaha, that's so interesting!" Wu Chen, who was tired after a day's work, and the members of the crew finished dinner, and when they returned to the room, they received a call from Marcas.
After more than a month, the shipwreck of the Sussex was finally discovered by the Sea Exploration Company, but the results of the exploration surprised everyone, except for a pile of broken copper and iron and more than a hundred gold coins, the legendary ten tons of gold coins, not even a shadow was seen.
The high-level officials of the British government were immediately furious, this must have been done by the Spaniards and secretly stole the treasure, no wonder the warships of the Spanish Navy wandered around here every day, daring to cover the shameless act of stealing the treasure!
The Spanish government is dumb and can't say what is going on, Nima, God knows what is going on, there are many people who go to this sea area to find the treasure of the shipwreck, and they may not be discovered by anyone, but the warships of the navy, no trace has been found!
Submarine salvage is technical work, at such a deep seabed, and the underwater detector is also very delicate, there is no way to use violence to dismantle such a way, so those gold coins are fished out little by little, and the shipwreck still retains its former appearance, plus no one has patronized it for so long, and the previous traces have almost disappeared.
