Smack! Smack! Smack!

Beneath the surface of the sea, sonar waves continue to lap on the submarine's hull, sending out bursts of echoes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"General, we've been discovered?"

Inside the cuttlefish submarine, the adjutant quickly alerted Rear Admiral Rand.

"Is that the sound coming from their sonar setup?"

Rear Admiral Rand looked up at the submarine, the first time he had commanded a submarine on a mission, and the first time he had heard the sound of a mysterious sonar wave illuminating it.

"Yes, Your Excellency. This snapping sound is the sound of sonar waves constantly hitting the hull of our submarine. The louder the sound, the closer it is and the higher the frequency, indicating that we have been discovered. ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of snapping became more and more urgent.

Major General Rand suddenly asked rhetorically: "Is this the frequency getting faster and faster, and we have been discovered?" ”

The adjutant nodded with a serious face and said, "Yes, General, we have been discovered!" ”

Major General Rand frowned, and asked again, "Can we attack each other now?" ”

The adjutant suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's not yet within the range of our fish radium, and now we have been discovered, and we are looking for death in the past!" The anti-submarine capabilities of the Imperial Chinese Navy are very strong, and they will not hesitate to attack us once they lock on to our position. ”

Rand's face suddenly turned ugly, he came this time to sink a lone Chinese Imperial Navy warship, and then secretly salvaged the water, wanting to steal the secrets on it. Including all kinds of secrets of the Imperial Chinese Navy, such as code books, communication passwords, confidential documents, radio equipment, steam turbine equipment, hull structure design, weapon systems, ammunition secrets, etc., for the American Navy, the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy are full of treasures and are worth taking a risk.

"Have other submarines been spotted as well?"

Rand asked unwillingly.

The adjutant smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and replied: "I'm afraid so!" Since the sonar system of the Imperial Chinese Navy has discovered us, it must have discovered other submarines as well. According to our agreement, if we are discovered before we are within attack range, we will immediately stop our operations and quickly evacuate. Presumably they have already begun to turn around and evacuate. ”

Rand asked again, "How do you know that they will definitely give up the action?" ”

The adjutant was speechless for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said, "General, please stop joking." We don't have a radio communication system, so it's impossible to reach them. ”

Rand suddenly dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that by using the noise of the oars of the British fleet, we can hide the traces of our submarines?" Why were we found out so quickly? ”

The adjutant smiled bitterly: "General, you can't blame me for this, my plan is seamless, but the problem is that the British are going too fast." If the British confront the Imperial Chinese Navy for half an hour longer, we will be able to enter the attack position. ”

The British fleet turned around and ran away, exposing the American submarine forces under the surface.

This is because the two sides did not cooperate well.

Rand still asked without giving up, "Are you sure that the Imperial Chinese Navy will attack our submarines?" And they don't know it's our submarine? Maybe they thought it was a submarine of their own people! ”

The adjutant said helplessly: "It's impossible not to know!" The submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy have also been modernized and equipped with a radio communication system, they will ask in advance, if it is not their own submarine, they will attack, please do not delay time, please retreat quickly, otherwise we are afraid that we will have to feed the fish! ”

Rand is still in the ink, he doesn't want to come for nothing, the damn submarine life makes him very unhappy, but he doesn't want to come again, and finally this time he will complete the mission.

"Report, something has been found in the sea!"

This is the latest submarine of the American Navy, equipped with the most primitive water listening device, which can hear noise at a certain distance, but the accuracy is not very good, and the performance gap with the sonar system equipment of the Chinese Imperial Navy is too far.

"I'm afraid it's a deep-water smash! Urgent dive! ”

The adjutant was very experienced and quickly issued emergency evasion orders.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion sounded, and the cuttlefish submarine was instantly hit by a violent underwater detonation wave.

Rear Admiral Rand was instantly shaken to the ground and fell, and the adjutant and other experienced submariners immediately tightened the handle around him and firmly fixed themselves.

Pipes popped and popped, water guns sprayed, and a large number of light bulbs bursting, flickering and dimming.

The first time Rand experienced it, he was instantly frightened and stupid, and for the first time he felt the approach of death.

If the adjutant hadn't ordered the submarine to dive urgently at the first time, I am afraid that it would have been sunk by the deep-water smashing egg.

Despite avoiding the first round of deep-water smashing, the cuttlefish submarine suffered heavy damage.

"Fight back!"

Rand shouted in horror.

"General, once discovered by the anti-submarine destroyers of the Imperial Chinese Navy, we can only be beaten, and we will not be able to fight back at all!"

The adjutant and other American soldiers looked at the second cargo with disdain.

"Can't fight back? Shall we not be drowned alive? ”

"Drowning is a good end, but if you don't drown, you will be squeezed into a meatloaf by the huge pressure of the sea first, and the taste of death is the most painful!"

An American soldier suddenly interjected, deliberately scaring Rand and expressing his contempt for Rand.

As a result, Rand went crazy!

"Nope! I can't die here! ”

"Float now!"

"Don't we still have naval artillery? Fight with the Tiger Heron! ”

……

Rand went to arrest the other American soldiers one by one, but no one paid attention to him.

This general is really too cowardly, and these American soldiers who have been on the line of death all year round can only hate and despise at the moment.

On the surface of the sea, the Tiger Heron made a great show of might, and groups of anti-submarine deep-water smashing eggs continued to catapult and sink into the sea, carrying out dragnet bombing against US submarines.

There were as many as 15 US submarines that came to attack the Tiger Heron this time, but the Tiger Heron had limited anti-submarine weapons, so it could only stare at one of them and beat them violently.

In the distance, other U.S. submarines saw that the situation was not good and had fled.

However, they soon rose to the surface of the sea, raised the Stars and Stripes in the open, and soon two American warships rushed over to protect them.

Publicly waving the American flag was a retreat that they had prepared before the operation.

Once the national flag is raised, it is a disclosure of identity, so the Chinese Imperial Navy will no longer pretend to deliberately not know to attack them.

But it also meant that the operation failed.

Several submarine officers looked through the periscope and realized that their flagship, the USS Cuttlefish, carrying Rear Admiral Rand, had not yet converged.

This time there was a big trouble, the soldiers came back, but the main general did not come back, and all the American troops were dumbfounded.

You know, this Rand's backstage is very hard, and he is a close minister next to Grant, although he doesn't have any skills, this time he is also here to take credit, if something happens, these people will be unlucky.

In the distance, the Tiger Heron, an anti-submarine destroyer of the Imperial Chinese Navy, was still ejecting deep-water eggs, apparently attacking the cuttlefish.

On the USS Philadelphia, the commander of the U.S. cruiser who came to meet him, stared at the huge waves rising on the sea in the distance, knowing that the cuttlefish was being attacked.

He really wanted to go to help and go directly to war with the Imperial Chinese Navy.

It's a pity that he can't do that, and he can't provoke an open war between China and the United States, because if a war breaks out, it will be even more detrimental to the Chinese Empire, but even more disadvantageous to the United States, which is not prepared.

The lesser of two evils, he can only endure it.

"Raise the flag, send a small boat to contact the Imperial Chinese Navy, and tell them that we are only exercising in this area, and we have no intention of attacking them."

At this point, the US military can only admit it.

Seeing the U.S. boats coming, Zhang Dade and Liu Yun glanced at each other, and instantly guessed that there was a U.S. submarine under the sea.

"Chief of Staff, what do you say the U.S. military is doing?"

"What else can you do? Of course, I came to admit it, and begged us to let go of the American submarine under the water! ”

Zhang Dade suddenly said angrily: "His mother's is actually a US submarine." Since he wants to sneak up on us, he should pay the price! ”

Liu Yun persuaded: "This is normal, China and the United States, as well as the allies and the Entente, are fighting in the dark every day, and the fighting under the water has never stopped, which is already an open secret in the world." But now that the US submarines have surfaced on the surface of the sea and raised their national flags, their boats have come to explain the situation, and although they know that they are deliberate, they did not fire at us after all, but we fired first, and it is not good for us to make a fuss in the international community. ”

Although Zhang Dade is not very willing, he is not reckless.

"Well, if only I had known that I should have let them fire first!"

"You, you're really bold, aren't you afraid that someone will send us to the sea to feed the fish with a radium?"

Ha ha!

The two looked at each other and laughed.

A secret war between the Chinese and American navies ended, and the U.S. submarine came to attack and wanted to sink the Tiger Heron, but it was discovered before it could be moved, and the U.S. cuttlefish was heavily damaged, but miraculously did not sink.

Watching the cuttlefish submarine slowly rise to the surface, covered in wounds, it had lost power and was towed away by the US warship.

Zhang Dade immediately complained: "His mother, he didn't sink him like this!" ”

Liu Yun also looked serious and said: "This is a new type of submarine of the US military, and the noise is very different from before, and it has been significantly improved." The first time our sonar soldier locked on to his signal, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes, and it was reasonable that he was not blown up, so there was no need to blame himself. ”

Zhang Dade said: "In the past, we would get the noise data of US submarines in advance, but why is there no data on this new submarine, the people of S.H.I.E.L.D. are really waste." ”

Liu Yun glanced at him and said, "You can speak carefully, you would rather offend the villain than offend the people of the China S.H.I.E.L.D., don't you know?" Do you still need me to remind you? ”

Zhang Dade was silent for a moment.

Liu Yun continued: "It is indeed strange, it stands to reason that the US military is starting to start a new type of submarine, and the China S.H.I.E.L.D. should get information soon." However, at present, these dozen or so new submarines of the US military have obviously formed combat effectiveness, but we have not received information, which is very abnormal. ”

Zhang Dade asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Yun said: "There must be something wrong, either the American demon is high and has done enough secrecy work, or it is a mistake of S.H.I.E.L.D." In short, we should write a report to remind the Admiralty that since the US military has secretly built a new type of submarine and attacked us under the banner of exercises, then they can secretly build more secret weapons and equipment, and this is a great threat to us, and we must pay sufficient attention to it at the top level. ”

Zhang Dade smiled bitterly: "You really eat radishes and worry about it, you are just a little destroyer chief of staff, but you have to take care of the affairs of the admiralty, I really don't know what you think!" ”

Seeing Liu Yun's glare, Zhang Dade suddenly pretended to smirk and said, "Just kidding, without further ado, why don't you hurry up and write a report!" ”

Liu Yun glanced at Zhang Dade angrily, went back to the command platform to write a report, and quickly sent it to the headquarters of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

The midwinter of the Chinese Empire had passed, and Li Weiguo had returned to Beijing.

The new imperial palace in Wuhan has not yet been repaired, and the central system of imperial power is still in Beijing, so Li Weiguo went directly back to the Forbidden City.

Before leaving, the smog in Beijing was still very serious, and when I came back, the smog was gone.

This is because as the Chinese Empire moved its capital to Wuhan and Kyoto, the population and factories around the Forbidden City began to move one after another, causing Beijing's population to drop rapidly from 5 million to 3 million.

In the past, Li Weiguo did not expect that there would be smog in Beijing after crossing, but after he investigated the situation around the world, he found that as early as 1840, London was ruled by smog, and the so-called fog capital London, this is how the name was derived.

This has something to do with industrial pollution, the rapid development of industry in the British Empire, and London, as the capital, is naturally a concentrated area of coal burning, and smog is normal.

The scale of industrial development of the Chinese Empire was faster and larger, dozens of times that of the British Empire, and the northern region was even more concentrated with heavy industry, and the consumption of coal was huge, which naturally caused smog.

When Li Weiguo decided to move the capital, in addition to some political and economic considerations, environmental pollution was also an important factor.

After a winter, when he returned to the Forbidden City and saw the blue sky and white clouds, Li Weiguo's mood was much better.

The Admiralty received a telegram from the Tiger Heron, and Lin Jiyun also realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly went to the Forbidden City to ask for an audience.

"Didn't get any information? This is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of S.H.I.E.L.D.! ”

"Go, let Tang Jianzhang get over immediately!"

After Li Weiguo saw it, he was immediately displeased.

On the other side of the world, in the office of the vice president of the White House, Roosevelt was also very annoyed by the failure of the operation.

"So, the Imperial Chinese Navy even installed a radio system on its destroyers?"

Roosevelt asked, he has not yet received a report on the actions of the US Navy, because they do not have a radio system, and Rand, who is on a mission in the waters off the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, has written a report, but it is very troublesome to send it back to the White House.

Originally, Cape Town had a British telegraph system, but unfortunately it was surrounded and could not enter.

RAND could only report by leading a fleet and crossing the Atlantic to return to the United States.

Roosevelt got the news, but it was from the embassy of the Chinese Empire in the United States, because the Chinese Empire quickly issued a solemn warning to the United States through diplomatic channels.

Now it was the American Navy that was beaten by the Chinese Imperial Navy, but it turned out that the Chinese Empire sent a warning first, which made Roosevelt very faceless and angry.

The chief thinker replied: "It should be, our operation is estimated to have failed, but it did not cause bad consequences, otherwise the Chinese Empire would have directly started a war, and it should have been the Chinese Empire that took advantage." But what is certain is that the Chinese Empire got the news so quickly, which is enough to prove that their Tiger Heron anti-submarine destroyer was also equipped with a radio system, and the performance was very advanced, and the battle report was directly sent back to the capital of the Chinese Empire, thousands of miles away. ”

"Damn it! I can't imagine that the Chinese Empire is so advanced in radio technology! ”

Roosevelt slammed the table hard, with a look of envy, jealousy and hatred, and couldn't help but be angry, but there was nowhere to vent. (To be continued.) )
