Here in the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier formation, the escort warships around have quickly approached. Several warships gathered nearby threw cables onto the Charles de Gaulle to provide it with external power, and the ship's water cannons were desperately spraying water into the burning cabin, trying to extinguish the raging flames.

There were two fatal wounds on the Charles de Gaulle, the first being the growing fire. The solid fuel carried by the Exocet missile burns too terrifyingly! Even hard naval armor can be melted by high temperatures.

The fire not only destroyed equipment, but also damaged numerous systems. This includes electricity, power, life support systems, cabin connection access and much more. Fierce flames and smoke engulfed hundreds of French naval officers and men.

The team members who rushed into the fire in heavy asbestos firefighting suits couldn't even hold on for ten seconds! The high temperatures of solid fuel simply can't be stopped!

The fire spread rapidly and soon approached the power compartment and hangar. Due to the lack of electricity, most of the watertight hatches could not be closed. The fire burrowed into the chambers along numerous passages.

In desperation, the French naval officers and sailors had to rely on manual efforts to close the watertight doors. Most of these brave Navy officers and sailors did not make it back alive.

In addition to the increasingly uncontrollable fire, another fatal wound of the Charles de Gaulle was the massive amount of sea water rushing in!

Two huge holes near the waterline, and again on the same side.

The large amount of water ingress caused the hull to gradually begin to tilt. Due to the lack of electricity, most of the pumping machines are unusable, and the rate of water inflow is significantly higher than the pumping rate. In addition, because of the fire, many watertight doors here could not be closed, and with the crazy inflow of seawater, the tilt of the ship's hull gradually became larger and larger!

Rear Admiral Estin, who had broken his ribs, endured the pain and ordered to fill the other side of the ship with water to keep the ship balanced.

If there is no electricity, the sea-tight door on the other side cannot be opened at all! This is not something that can be done manually.

Over time, the Charles de Gaulle leaned more and more. Hundreds of millions of expensive items parked on the flight deck, such as Rafale fighters, Super Flag fighters, E-2C Hawkeye AWACS aircraft, and Panther helicopters, are like children's toys and fall into the sea with the sound of steel rubbing, causing huge waves.

The fire, which had been uncontrollable, finally poured into the hangar. Aviation gasoline stored in hangars. Various types of missile weapons were detonated and ignited one after another.

The sound of the 'Knock Knock' explosion continued to sound inside the Charles de Gaulle, and even the solid flight deck was pierced by the shock wave of the violent explosion!

The ignited aviation gasoline added to the fire, and the entire battleship smoked in all directions, and the flames spewed long tongues of fire through the various exits. The battleship is no longer saved.

In this desperate situation, Vice Admiral Estin painfully gave the order to abandon the ship. The French Navy abandoned their flagship!

After the order to abandon the ship was issued, all the French naval officers and men who were still alive immediately threw down all the fire-fighting equipment in their hands and began to escape.

The variety of crazy escape methods surprised Gao Yang, who had been observing the aircraft carrier. Before, they were all like heroes, desperately trying to extinguish the fire, but in a blink of an eye, they all became a group of routs and fled for their lives.

"They are true professional soldiers, who strictly follow professional ethics and try to save the battleship without orders. But once the order to retreat was given. Then they are just ordinary people struggling to survive. Origin explained.

"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded and said, "It's really professional." ”

Of the more than 1,700 French naval officers and sailors aboard the Charles de Gaulle, less than half managed to escape and ascend to heaven.

More than two hours after being shot, the battleship, which was covered with fire and like a volcano erupting violently, flipped on its side with a loud bang.

More than ten minutes later, the pride of the French Navy, their flagship, disappeared into the sea less than a hundred nautical miles from the military port of Toulon!

When the news came out, the world was shocked!

The whole world of the Internet, newspapers and periodicals. TV, television, and radio stations are frantically reporting the news. It's so shocking that the flagship of the French Navy, the only in-service nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world that does not belong to the US Navy, was sunk on its own doorstep!

The French are furious! Up to the President. Even the ordinary people were mad at the news.

"Who did that!?" This is something that everyone wants to know.

According to satellite information from various countries, including the French's own satellites, Americans' satellites. The French even went to the Polar Bear and the World Realm Factory to find out where the Lundao missiles came from!

Didn't make the French wait too long. Surveillance satellites are all targeting Corsica.

At the same time, a large number of urgently summoned weapons experts have also analyzed that the missile that sank the Charles de Gaulle was the Exocet anti-ship missile!

"These two pieces of news thundered everyone." Could it be that the French themselves beat themselves? ”

It's no wonder everyone thinks so. When launched on their own territory, they still use anti-ship missiles produced in their own countries. It's really not a funny joke at all.

The French army immediately began a large-scale cross-examination. All the country's equipment troops, stockpiles, spares, and even various spare parts are turned out one by one to check the number to see if there is any missing.

The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also sent ultimatums to Germany, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil and other countries that use legal equipment. It's not a diplomatic document, it's an ultimatum. Ask them for information about Exocet missiles in their own country!

No country is willing to carry this black pot for no reason. All countries that are also armed with Exocet anti-ship missiles agreed to the request of the French and even allowed the French to go to the field to check it!

After some tossing and turning to attract the attention of the whole world, the final conclusion is that all the registered Exocet missiles are still there!

"How is that possible?!" Every Exocet missile has a factory number, and now it's all there! Where did the Exocet that sank the Charles de Gaulle come from? No one could explain this strange thing.

The French army, which had been mobilized and had entered the highest level of combat readiness, could only stay in its own barracks and wait for orders.

The French are going crazy! The murderer can't be found! Now there is no goal even if you want to take revenge! They feel like they're going to die of depression!

The launch site on the island of Corsica has been found, and it was indeed launched here, but apart from being able to prove that three Exocet missiles were indeed launched here, there is not a single trace of useful evidence left at the scene!

Who can deliver three Exocet missiles to Corsica without a sound?

All the terrorist organizations in the world have been suspected. The same goes for President Nzouba, who is at odds with the French. It's just that President Nzuba obviously doesn't have this ability, and the French are only skeptical for the time being.

There was only one person in this world who put his suspicious eyes on Gao Yang's body. CIA Senior Agent Du Qixi!

When he got the information that the French Navy aircraft carrier was attacked, Du Qixi, who was writing a report in Langley, immediately flashed Gao Yang's figure in his mind.

Not much evidence. Inference or something. It's just a feeling, or rather an intuition. Du Qixi felt that Gao Yang did this.

Because the operation in Seoul has caused a lot of commotion, and most importantly, no one has been caught yet. Not only did the Koreans protest fiercely, but even the French who were being followed were very dissatisfied with Du Qixi's practice of not saving him.

Not to mention the cynicism of the factories in the world. In desperation, Du Qixi's boss had no choice but to transfer him back to the CIA headquarters to temporarily avoid the limelight and write a detailed action report at the same time. Until the news of the attack on the French aircraft carrier came.

Du Qixi took the report he had just completed and went directly to his boss.

"You mean Gao Yang did this?" His boss, a bald white man in his forties with a non-smiling expression on his face, shook the report in his hand and asked.

"Yes, sir. I have carefully analyzed Gao Yang's character. He is a man who has revenge, great courage, and attaches great importance to family affection. The Frenchman has challenged his bottom line one after another, and he has the motivation to do it. Just the day before the accident with the French aircraft carrier, he had just been attacked by the French. In addition, all the French agents involved in the operation lost contact. Sitting on the chair outside the desk, Du Qixi said with a serious face.

"Suspicion of intelligence is necessary, but there must also be evidence to support one's judgment. Do you have any proof? Or is it a reasonable inference? For example, where did the Exocet missiles he used come from? His boss touched his head and asked in a deep voice. This question has troubled almost all intelligence experts in the world. There are numbered Exocets, where did the attackers get their missiles from?

Du Qixi shook his head slightly and said, "No." After the boss looked at it, he smiled. He continued, "But I suspect he may have secrets beyond normal thinking, like that strange gunman in Seoul, which is really interesting." ”

The bald boss patted his head and looked at Du Qixi with a serious expression on his face. "Alright, Mr. Weston, you should give this report to District 51. And not to me! ”

Du Qixi smiled indifferently and shook his head slightly, smart people would never make pointless arguments at such times. He has his own insistence.

"Sir, I request that the monitoring of Gao Yang be restored. His oil trade in East Asia has adversely affected our oil strategy. Du Qixi said. Let's start with the real stuff.

"Hmm." The bald boss agreed, put away the report and said, "Go ahead, stay safe." There is no security in Africa right now, and the French may have to take advantage of this opportunity. ”

"Yes, sir." Du Qixi nodded and got up to leave.

Gao Yang, who stabbed deeply in the heart of the French, has returned to the target time and space at this moment.

The return of Chairman Yan and Yushuai has had a huge impact on the warlords who still have the last glimmer of hope and support all parts of the country. Even if there are all kinds of troublemakers and dragging their feet by the British, they can't stop the momentum of Gaoyang's rapid unification of the country. (To be continued......)
