Chapter 13: The Wedge Project
Carl was disappointed, he saw nothing but dead fish floating up.
Didn't the torpedo find its target? Carl muttered to himself, no! If there is no target, then how can it explode?
Not good, the Chinese submarine must have fired the bait, and the torpedo went to the bait. Carl patted his head and suddenly realized.
"Dive immediately and report our position to the base and tell them that we have spotted and attacked the Chinese submarine." As he gave the order, he hurriedly got into the submarine. Originally, Karl wanted to enjoy this credit for himself, but now it seems that it is impossible, so he can only bring in other anti-potential forces.
Boat 597 was at full speed, pursuing Boat 805.
"Report to the captain, the American submarine has caught up." The sonar soldier reported.
"Got it." Du Haiwei nodded, he knew that with the maximum speed of his submarine of 32 knots, the speed of the American "Ohio-class" was only 25 knots, and it could not catch up at all.
Come and don't go to a gentleman, if you want to sink me, I can't bear it, since I'm here, then, I should let you know that it's not easy to mess with Chinese submarines.
Du Haiwei made up his mind and ordered: "Stop, dive to a depth of 600 meters." Silence remained, and the torpedo was prepared for firing. ”
It didn't take long for the 597 boat to catch up, but it turned around and headed in the opposite direction.
Karl judged the direction of movement of the Chinese submarine entirely on his own experience and feelings, and he was not sure of the exact location, but just wanted to try his luck.
"Won't you just come and see us? Stupidity. Du Haiwei said to himself. Then he ordered: "Turn on the active sonar for one second, head due east, speed 30 knots, sneak 2,000 meters, stop, keep silent." "Du Haiwei's intention is very obvious, that is, to lure the 597 boat over.
"Report to the captain, the Chinese submarine, we found it, just 2600 meters behind us." It was in the blink of an eye that the American submarine discovered the 805 boat.
"Haha, play with me, you're still too tender." Carl had a smug smile on his face.
"Stay silent and lean in quietly." Carl is going to be cautious.
The 597 boat did not accelerate, but quietly sneaked at a speed of 10 knots, and soon came to the top of the 805 boat, but it did not notice it, and was still sneaking at a constant speed.
Karl never dreamed that he would actually pass over the head of a Chinese submarine and not notice it at all.
"Launch." With Du Haiwei's order, two torpedoes were fired out of the 805 boat at high speed and chased after the 597 boat at high speed.
"Report, torpedoes, torpedoes for the Chinese." The sonarman's face changed.
"Shoot the bait." Karl hurriedly ordered.
However, the distance was too close, it was too late, and before the decoy could be launched, two dull loud noises of "bang" and "bang" were heard, and the 597 boat immediately shook violently.
"Oh God! Finished. Carl closed his eyes.
But a second passed, and two seconds passed...... There was no explosion.
Karl couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, Chinese are Chinese, is this torpedo also "copycat"? It didn't explode.
"Quick, quick, float." Karl didn't have time to think about it, and ordered incoherently.
Boat 597 quickly surfaced, and Karl hurriedly got out of the submarine.
"Oh God!" Karl was stunned to see a torpedo on each side of his submarine firmly glued to his hull.
Could it be that this is the legendary timed torpedo? A thought flashed through Carl's mind. Immediately, he shouted: "Call the nearby search ship plane, we have been hit, quickly put down the lifeboat, and the whole crew is ready to leave the boat." ”
Carl guessed correctly, this is the timed torpedo invented by the Chinese, which uses magnetism to be firmly attached to the hull of the 597 boat, and what Carl does not know is that it will explode in only ten minutes.
Fortunately, Karl had already told the base where it was, so two Perry-class frigates rushed over at once.
The P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft also came, searching in circles for the 805 boat.
Four carrier-based SH-60 "Sea Hawk" anti-submarine helicopters were turned into rescue helicopters, taking turns rescuing the crew of the 597 boat.
After all, the American army was well-trained, and soon, Karl and his crew were evacuated from the 597 boat. As soon as they left, they heard two loud "booms", and the water column that rushed to the sky was more than 30 meters high, and with a huge sound, the 597 boat also disappeared into the vast sea.
"Oh God!" Karl silently drew a cross in his heart, he was glad that he was still alive, and he was grateful to the Chinese for not sending him and his hundred and fifty crew to the bottom of the sea.
US President Clark was shocked to learn this news, and he understood that the Chinese did not come here to wander around, but to warn them, so that they understood that it was best not to force the Chinese to rush.
So, he urgently convened a national security meeting.
"Mr. President, do you want to lodge a strong protest with the Chinese government?" Secretary of State Rogers looked at their president with an inquiring eye.
"No, no, the Chinese will not admit it." Clark waved his hand.
"Then we have suffered this dumb loss? Must fight back! Levi felt a great deal of rage.
"Yes, we admit it this time, but it doesn't mean that we will recognize it in the future." Margaret seems to represent the president.
"No, it's not, the national interests of the United States have been harmed, we cannot remain silent, we must react." Clark took a stand.
"Mr. President, I think our 'wedge plan' can be implemented. CIA Director Brown advised.
"Are you all ready?" Clark asked, his eyes lit up, and he asked.
"It's all ready, we've set up camps there, we've trained an armed force, we've sent them a lot of weapons, and if we send the Army's special forces there, then it's going to be a veritable wedge that will be nailed to China's backyard, cutting off its pipelines and high-speed routes to the Indian Ocean." We already control the Strait of Malacca, and if war breaks out, it will not be enough for the Chinese to rely only on Russian oil pipelines. Brown reported.
"Great, why not now?" Levi got excited.
"Mr. General, please send a special force to act immediately and put it there as soon as possible, and the CIA will fully cooperate. In addition, I would like to ask Mr. Secretary of State to inform the Government of Myanmar that it would be hoped that they would not interfere. Clark arranged.
"Okay, I'll inform you right away, although Suki hasn't become their president, as the head of government, she's still very willing to cooperate with us." Rogers agreed.
"Mr. General, I hope to be able to send 'Delta State' troops there, because the environment there is very complicated, far from supplies, there are many ** armed forces and drug trafficking forces, coupled with the infiltration of the Chinese, it is difficult for troops without complete independent combat capability to imagine how to survive." Brown stared at Levi.
