Chapter 765: Pure Bluffing
The people on the dam were worried, and although as time passed, everyone ran to the mountains on both sides of the dam, but everyone still looked at the calm water on the inside of the dam.
And on the dam, multiple ropes are suspended from the dam like this, which is the life-saving rope of the underwater bomb disposal personnel, the heavy diving suits, and the ropes are needed to make it possible for them to get out of the water. Moreover, this rope is also connected to the underwater radio communication and filming device, which is the only basis for underwater personnel to communicate with the surface.
At this moment, the bottom of the water is also at the most tense time, the underwater lights are directly aimed at the timed explosive device, and each bomb disposal personnel is holding huge pliers in their hands, wandering in the complex lines, and they dare not start.
And the detonation device in front of them has a transparent cover that resists pressure and water on the outside, as if to reduce the pressure of water pressure on the material, this layer of cover is not large, almost clinging to the detonator. And those complicated lines, there is a layer of something similar on the outside.
This made it possible for the demolition work to progress, perhaps because the guys who designed the detonators were also worried that they would be irreversible if they made a mistake.
At this point, the clock was ticking down to the last minute, and the guards around the bomb disposal team kept in touch with the helicopter to see where the previous attackers were. At 150 meters, it was already pitch black, and in order to ensure the success of the bomb disposal, the lighting had to be pointed at the detonators, and as a result, they became the most obvious targets underwater.
The reason why the first group of bomb disposal personnel became the target of the attack as soon as they got out of the water was because of the lighting. But. Four minutes have passed, and the attackers have not reappeared.
But. Far from reassuring the guards, they lifted their hearts one by one. Fortunately, the ropes on their bodies are tied to the helicopter. After the explosion of the reservoir, the reservoir will not collapse immediately because of the amount of explosives, but will be crushed slowly.
So, they have time to leave, but the bomb disposal personnel are completely different, and there is absolutely no chance of survival in the event of an explosion.
At the same time, on the other side of the library, there is a cave located on the inner side of the reservoir mountain. Six black shadows crawled out of the underground waterway that melted into the channel reservoir, the underwater cave that was supposed to be full of damp and pitch black was already brightly lit, more than a dozen huge storage batteries, illuminated it brightly, and a large number of equipment and weapons and explosives were placed inside the cave, and they were all quietly wrapped in plastic.
Apparently afraid of the moisture in the cave, the guide zhì equipment was damaged, after six people came up. He did not take off the anti-compression diving suit on his body for the first time, but first pulled up the underwater thruster, and then took off the burden on his body.
Each of the six men had pure Arab faces, but then they spoke fluent Mandarin: "Those idiots are probably going to be half scared to death." ”
"It's a pity. In vain we have prepared so many explosives here, and we were half tired from transporting them in the first place, but now we can only put them here to mold. ”
"This is the order of the commander. You can't really blow up this dam, after all, it will hurt too many innocent people. It doesn't do us any good either. ”
"If there's an army of enemies down there, I'd like to replace it with real explosives. When the time comes, the flood will be flushed, and everything will be resolved. ”
……
The six people, who no longer had a task, sat around and nibbled on dry food, and said with a smile.
These six people are all from the Crazy Ivan unit of the base, each of them is a master of assembling explosives and explosive devices, originally they have prepared nearly twenty tons of high explosives here, in order to have the opportunity and necessity in the future, through the underground river Guò, really blow up this dam.
However, the order was down, but they were only allowed to scare and frighten the enemy, and the main thing was that they had to pay enough attention. And if they really blow up the dam, not to mention the people under the dam, not even bin Laden himself.
However, the explosives placed in the dam are not all fake, and there is still a certain amount of explosives in them, which can be regarded as a warning to the outside world.
"The time is almost up, we can't stay here for long, and gradually evacuate."
At the same time, almost everyone outside had their hearts in their throats, and there were less than thirty seconds left in the countdown, and a decision had to be made at this time.
Panetta, who had just arrived at the dam, was the first to learn about the current situation, came to the top of one of the hills of the reservoir, looked at the picture coming from underwater, and asked, "What's going on, why haven't you started yet?" ”
"According to the report, these detonation devices are very complex, each line is a multi-layer loop, and we have compared the number of databases in many countries, and there is no matching number. This detonation device, we are in contact with for the first time. At present, experts from all over the world are conducting urgent research, but until now, no one has judged which route is the right one. ”
"I don't have time, I'm still wondering if there is a plan." Panetta doesn't understand any of this, he just needs a result.
"At present, the maximum possibility of each detonation equipment has been selected, and once the last moment comes, it will be immediately interrupted and a final effort will be made."
Hearing the staff's report, Panetta nodded, there was no time, and if he was not decisive, there would be no chance. If you gamble once, you still have a chance to survive, and if you don't gamble, it's a dead end.
Even if one or two detonators could be stopped, it would have a big impact on the outcome of the matter, and as long as the dam was not damaged too much, it could still be recovered.
At this moment, most of the world's eyes are almost focused on the last thirty seconds of the countdown, when twenty seconds have passed, the underwater escorts began to be pulled up by helicopters, and those bomb disposal personnel also cut the most likely safety line judged by experts from various countries.
Almost just when everyone thought there would be an explosion, there was still calm under the water, and there was no turmoil at all. The bomb disposal personnel who had closed their eyes and waited for death were surprised to find that they were all fine, and they did not hear the explosion.
However, when they looked at the detonator, they were all extremely angry, and on the display panel of the original countdown, the numbers were directly replaced by a group of English letters: "Bomb disposal failed, you have been killed." ”
"This is a drill detonator."
When they realized the situation, no one was not annoyed, but the next scene made everyone's hearts rise to their throats again. Especially the heads of state who always pay attention to the underwater situation, when they saw those letters, they first breathed a sigh of relief, but the next scene, the heart that had just fallen, instantly jumped to their throats.
The same is true of Panetta, when he feels that he is being tricked, he sees the original English letter change, and it reads: "Officially detonated in five seconds." ”
"Hurry up and continue to minus." Grabbing the intercom, Panetta yelled directly.
The underwater bomb disposal personnel had already lowered their pliers when they felt that they were being tricked, and they did not expect that there would be such a scene, and when they heard Panetta's shout, it was too late to raise the pliers again.
The explosion rang out, but once again, to the surprise of the whole world, the explosion appeared, and everyone saw it, but the water was still calm, and even the lights and cameras above the heads of the bomb disposal personnel were not damaged, and everyone could see the picture.
Panetta knew very well that he was not wrong just now, the bomb did explode, but the calm water told him that the explosion did not seem to appear, and he was extremely nervous, and when he saw that the other side of the intercom was still measuring the signal light that could talk, he immediately asked, "Are you all right?" ”
The underwater bomb disposal personnel were also frightened, and after hearing Panetta's words, they were a little more sober, and instinctively replied: "Report sir, we're fine." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Panetta asked intersectingly as she looked at the blurred underwater on the screen.
"The bomb did explode just now, but we don't know why we're fine. Is it that the explosives have been damp with water? ”
After hearing the words of the bomb defusators, Panetta did not continue to waste time on this, he had a feeling that this time he was being tricked. However, cautious thinking tells him not to be careless.
Of course, it is also possible for the bomb disposal personnel to report, after all, under the water of 150 meters, under the strong water pressure, as long as there is no protection, it is normal for explosives to enter the water.
"Send in the personnel immediately and go down and get the bomb out."
Panetta didn't leave in a hurry, he needed to be sure of one thing, but before he could confirm this, some things could already begin, "Immediately order all the anti-terrorist forces within a radius of a hundred kilometers around Royer and the dam to immediately block this area, and no one can leave." I have reason to believe that bin Laden is already preparing to flee here. ”
At this time, the heads of state also began to put their hearts down, although the Merowe Dam is in Africa, but this time it is international cooperation after all, once it really causes incomparably huge casualties in Sudan, it will be an incomparably huge blow to themselves and the country. It will also bring about an extremely huge crisis of confidence, especially in the United States, once the Meroway dam is blown up, it will inevitably become difficult for the United States to develop in Africa.
If we continue to use the propaganda of well-intentioned people, the prestige of the United States in Africa will also fall to the bottom in an instant.
However, Li Lan, who knew about this qiē, did not regret this choice at the moment, and bin Laden was planning to really blow up the dam, and the explosives and personnel were ready. But he stopped him, and he couldn't ignore the millions of people buried in his hands.
When he heard cheers from all over the AU headquarters, he became even more firm in his orders. (To be continued......)
