Chapter 526: The Battleship Sets Sail (3)
The dignified US Navy, the world's most powerful military bloc, actually lost two heavy and backward battleships at its own doorstep! Such a ridiculous thing made the commander of the Navy John . Harvey was furious.
He immediately ended his vacation, flew back to the headquarters on a special plane, held a high-level military meeting, and severely reprimanded the derelict officers.
"We control every inch of the Atlantic, and this is America's strongest line of defense, and it must be absolutely tight and secure. Now, you're going to tell me that you've lost two ships full of suspicious elements! Gentlemen, can anyone explain to me what the fuck is going on! ”
Your Excellency Commander has too many reasons to be angry. The U.S. Navy enjoys the world's top scientific and technological achievements, has the world's largest information system support, and can fight global operations without worrying about blind spots. Not to mention, the Atlantic Ocean has long been regarded as their private waters, and no one can enter or exit here without permission!
What are those two battleships? It's just a fake of the backward guys of the Second World War, and in terms of displacement, it can't catch up with the powerful gunboats of the First World War; In terms of the level of informationization, it is not comparable to a destroyer in the sixties and seventies. In terms of armament, all the artillery of the other side is furnishings. Except for the powertrain, which barely meets the technical standards of the nineties, the others are hardly worth mentioning!
It is said that even half of the power system is installed, and the remaining half is made up by high-power diesel engines - such a guy, the navy has lost it?!
Any U.S. warship deployed in the Atlantic Ocean is faster than him, and its radar is better than his! Not to mention. There are satellites in the sky!
Your Excellency the Commander thinks. This must have been too long for the Navy to be comfortable. The excessive relaxation and fatigue caused by the lack of war for many years led to the occurrence of such serious mistakes.
John. Harvey propped up the table with both hands, his gray hair reflected the silver light, and his eagle-like sharp eyes fiercely glanced at the senior officers sitting solemnly, and said viciously: "It seems that it is necessary for us to carry out a major training at the level of the whole army!" Gentlemen, I must find those two boats within six hours, no matter what method you use. And intercept it! I don't want the next time Your Excellency the President calls, saying that there is still nothing to be done! ”
A staff member reminded with some doubts: "General, although those two battleships are not armed, they have extremely heavy armor. If, at the time of interception, they force their way into the collision, what do we do? ”
Other officers also have such worries, don't look at the US Navy is so powerful, the ships rely on advanced technology and fierce firepower. But the battleships themselves, with the exception of aircraft carriers, are almost all made with thin skin and big stuffing. Can't withstand too fierce collisions.
Since the other side used two battleships to do such a thing, it must take into account the possible changes in it. If they dare to rush to the United States, they must have a corresponding idea, right?
John. Harvey glared fiercely and scolded, "Do you still need me to teach you the door?" No one is free to offend the majesty of the US Navy! I don't care if it's a refugee or a king sitting above him! Anyone who tries to attack us must be eliminated without hesitation! ”
"Yes, General!"
General Harvey waved his hand very impatiently, blasted everyone away, and snorted to his staff with a black face: "Look at what our army has become!" All of them are like politicians in Washington, full of interest exchange and public opinion influence. It's all shit, we're soldiers, and we don't have to think so much except for war! ”
The staff quickly nodded in agreement. Indeed, what do military men care about so much outside things? It doesn't matter what kind of ship he comes from, as long as there is a possibility of threatening the security of his country, he can kill it. The controversy caused by this naturally has skillful old generals who stand up for them.
Turning his face, His Excellency the Commander gave a completely different order: "In addition, stop all the media who are going to run to interview me!" We don't need to let ordinary people in the country know everything about the affairs of our defense zone. ”
The staff did not think that there was any suspicion of schizophrenia at all, and did not hesitate to record it and prepare to do so.
The so-called general was angry, and the blood flowed and the pestle flowed. The effect of Commander Harvey's tough attitude was obvious, and the entire US military in the northern part of the Atlantic was mobilized, and even satellite resources from other departments were called in to do a sieve-like search for the area where the target warship might be hiding.
It didn't take long for a reconnaissance plane to spot what was suspected to be the track of two warships and immediately notified the command.
The ships that were cruising nearby immediately pressed over there, and it didn't take long for the staggered dragnet search to finally see the figures of two battleships. Strangely, however, they still struggled to capture a clear signal on the radar screen.
"Hell yes! How did those two wrecked ships do it?! Even our state-of-the-art DDG1000 missile destroyers cannot guarantee such a long period of covert sailing, there must be something wrong with this! ”
And that's not all. The speed of those two warships is not at all like the statement in the information that the power system is incomplete, and the maximum speed does not exceed 27 knots. The Arleigh Burke II missile destroyer that rushed over had a speed of more than 30 knots, but it was clear that it saw that the enemy ship was in the distance, but it couldn't catch up!
This alone can be explained, for example, the other party deliberately misled the outside world in the information. After all, there are two main engines with a total power of 72,000 horsepower, and two diesel engines with a peak power of 13,000 horsepower. If there is an ambush in this, then the total power may reach more than 100,000 shaft horsepower. It is not surprising that this light-armed warship, which is used to propel the standard row of just over 20,000 tons and is not loaded with ammunition and a large amount of fuel, can really run through 30 knots.
However, they can actually escape with a strange maneuver surrounded and intercepted by several warships, what is the matter!
Several battleships' ship-based helicopters flew over in turn, constantly skimming over the two battleships at low altitudes, shouting incessantly over loudspeakers and public frequency bands, but receiving no response. The entire deck was empty, and I could barely see the occasional person moving in the glass window on the top of the bridge.
Feedback from the intelligence services. They infiltrated the hands of the people who were inside. No signal was sent either.
The whole thing. It's weird!
The Americans probably couldn't imagine that the two battleships they couldn't intercept with all their might were simply projections deliberately created by Yang Hao with the help of the special ability of "Yan Huang Ding"!
These two projections, not only in terms of visual effects, but also in terms of texture, are the same as the real ones. Only in terms of radar or other electronic signal reflection, it appears to be a bottomless black hole, swallowing up all the electromagnetic waves projected past. Only sporadic faint signals are fed back. It's no wonder that the U.S. military's electronic equipment is of limited use.
Only when someone boarded it could it be discovered that the figures on the battleship were fake, and the cabin was empty.
But now, the US military can't even stop it, and even shouts out the threat of sinking, and it still doesn't help!
In the other direction, two real battleships were running at full speed, and a strange barrier expanded with Yang Hao as the center, covering the two battleships that were close to a very dangerous distance, avoiding almost all detection and scanning. Only the trail that has been driven is difficult to erase. It can be mixed with the track of ships coming and going in the busy waterway, and it is quite difficult to distinguish it!
Captain Nelson controls the flagship. I don't know what it's like. More than once, he saw the US warships encounter or miss them at visual distance, and each time his nervous palms were sweaty and his legs were numb. As a result, without exception, the other party was blind and couldn't see the existence of the ship at all, and quickly passed by.
What the fuck is going on? If there is such a technique in the war, it is simply invincible!
Yang Hao ruthlessly broke his illusion: "As long as we activate the active radar or sonar, or open fire to attack, it will be exposed immediately." Even if someone makes too much noise on the deck, they can be captured, and this ability can only be used for hide and seek, not for big things. ”
Nelson said in his heart that this is powerful enough, quietly approaching the enemy, if it is the cheapest torpedo boat, one guy kills an aircraft carrier, this exchange ratio is too appropriate!
It's just a matter of thinking about it.
The route from the Strait of Gibraltar to North America is more than 3,000 nautical miles, and a normal cruise ship can travel at a speed of 20 knots, which can be reached in about seven days. But the battleship's wild run, regardless of attrition, was able to shorten this trip to more than four days. The two battleships abruptly turned to the North American continent after almost a day's voyage into the Atlantic. It took a full day before it was intercepted by the U.S. military, but it was unsuccessful.
By the time the U.S. military had fully cast its net to round up, it was already the third day. At this time, the battleship had crossed the 60th parallel of west longitude, and it was only a little more than a day's voyage from Boston, Philadelphia, New York and other eastern metropolitan centers in the United States!
In this short period of time, Yang Hao's carefully arranged backhands were used one after another!
The major media outlets in the countries of the world, in almost no particular order, received information of mysterious origin, giving them a very precise coordinates, claiming that in twenty-four hours, they would see the traces of the transshipment ship from African refugees there. At that time, everyone will witness an unprecedented large-scale beach smuggling operation!
To put it bluntly, at least ninety percent of the countries in the world today want to see the United States unlucky.
Thousands of refugees broke through the blockade and brazenly forced their way into the United States. They very much want to see how the Americans deal with it, and how they are so angry and corrupt that they openly commit heinous acts that trample on human life and dignity.
Although they knew that the coordinates were on the coastline of the United States, the media of various countries still did not hesitate to send interview teams to the scene urgently.
In order to prevent the Americans from playing tricks and directly blockading those waters and refusing to land, some big powers have simply sent out their permanent personnel in the United States.
This also includes the media in the United States.
Not surprisingly, the patriotic local media immediately reported the news to the US Department of Homeland Security, and even to the FBI, CIA, and other acronyms, and at the same time sent their own teams to pretend -- there is no doubt that the Americans control public opinion far more than China, which seems to be harsh. In matters involving the security and defense of its homeland, the "Patriot Act" will be a weapon to adjudicate all dissenting opinions.
Compared with China, even in crises such as major earthquakes, floods, and violent terrorist incidents, those well-known elites still dare to talk nonsense, and they don't have to worry about personal safety, and they are lenient to the point of pedantic. The Americans, on their side, will not hesitate to completely block it, so that you won't even find a chance to beg.
The Americans reacted quickly enough that the Coast Guard immediately announced that there was an unusual incident in that area, temporarily closed it and put it under military control.
Moral? Face? Freedom of opinion? Please, when did the Americans tell you about this!
By the way, they often say it, but they are all foreign countries, and they will never put the same standards on their own country.
Whether they were flying from a foreign country or departing from the United States, all ships and planes were intercepted and stopped, and not even a sampan could be seen within a 10-kilometer radius of the predetermined sea area.
But it didn't work, and after only a few hours, the new coordinates were distributed to everyone's communication tools and mailboxes at the same time. Even some private radio stations in the United States have been brutally inserted into the signal, looping the possible landing locations. But this time, it's two coordinates.
Clever media reporters quickly saw from the map that the three coordinates formed an irregular triangle, each aimed at a seaside city, more than a dozen kilometers from the shore, about 300 kilometers from each other, and the middle point of the intersection of the three was exactly on the waterway from Gibraltar to New York!
"Hell! Their purpose has always been there! ”
The U.S. military suddenly realized that General Harvey angrily smashed the phone, scolded the incompetence of the warship commanders, and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the government's ability to control public opinion.
How did he know that the current US government was already in a hurry. They tried to intercept the source of the information release, but were shocked to be told that it was not a hacker who had hacked in at all, but a program that had been lurking in countless servers on the world network in the early days. Until the time comes, those programs will be nothing more than a bunch of innocuous junk paragraphs that won't provoke a reaction from firewalls and antivirus software.
If you can't find the mastermind behind real-time control, where can you arrest someone?
Fortunately, the U.S. government has more experience in dealing with information attacks than anyone else, and with the support of the world's strongest system and the smartest genius team, it quickly found some abnormal information and filtered it out, basically blocking the possibility of the next coordinate transmission.
However, this is useless, Yang Hao has already achieved his goal.
The manpower of the US coast guard was stretched thin, and the navy had to urgently dispatch more warships to the three coordinate points to intercept and round up, and even sent some to search and trace along the route, but as a result, nothing was found.
In the early hours of the fifth day, the two freighters were separated by several kilometers, blending in with the ships entering Hudson Bay, and slowly approached Long Island. Then, suddenly turn and rush towards the beach!
The coast guard immediately discovered the abnormality and hurriedly dispatched patrol boats to block it, but the two freighters ignored it, slammed into the obstacles, and ran aground directly on the beach. Then I saw dozens of steel plates burst through the hulls on both sides of the freighter, and countless rubber boats were pushed into the sea from the gap. Immediately after, a dense crowd of refugees frantically poured out, crammed every dinghy, started the motor engine, and ran for their lives towards the beachhead of Long Island!
A loud voice was constantly playing from the loudspeaker on the cargo ship: "O man who seeks freedom and peace! The land you yearn for and love is ahead! Don't hesitate to get on a speedboat and rush forward! (To be continued......)
