Chapter 1223: Burnt Out
The submarine was wrapped in layers, and the Seventh Fleet rushed here to wait for orders from their superiors. This is a long process, but it may also be a short-term process, because the United States has made a plan to secretly infiltrate a nuclear submarine to control Xiao Yuanchao. However, this plan has not yet been adopted and is still in the discussion stage.
Because no one can guarantee that Xiao Yuanchao can be controlled after entering the submarine, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be changes inside the submarine. This change is the degree to which the inside of the submarine has been turned into explosive by Xiao Yuanchao, or the torpedo has become a bomb and can be detonated at any time. Xiao Yuanchao didn't have a torpedo launch code, but he could take out the torpedo and turn it into terrifying bombs by splitting it.
As long as any torpedo explodes, the Watchman will be completely destroyed.
The US side is discussing and striving to come up with the best plan in the shortest possible time. As for the Mona island, the development of rare earths is still ongoing, and the Mona people cannot stop it, and they are confined to a smaller area.
They were really powerless to resist the powerful American military, and when the warship came, everyone was desperate. They know that their homes are about to be taken, and they know that they are going to be displaced. It can't be changed, they are just a small tribal race, under the strong ships, just the existence of ants.
At this time, they would rather abandon the island to protect their people, and the danger is getting closer and closer to them.
It seems that everything has entered the point where there is no turning point, this is the case for Xiao Yuanchao, this is the case for the Mona clan, and this is true for all people.
In the submarine, Xiao Yuanchao has dismantled the torpedoes one by one and transformed them into bombs under his control. He was ready to die with the Watchmen, ready to kill the submarine in the firelight.
A desperate person will not have hope so quickly, and no matter how tempting the conditions are, in the eyes of the desperate person, it will be a flash in the eye.
In the control room, Xiao Yuanchao was eating canned beef, drinking red wine, smoking a cigar, and chatting with the person in charge of the incident on the American side on the radio. That's right, it's chatting, not negotiating.
"Buckley's life is full of legends, he was once awarded the highest medal of honor in the Gulf War, and he single-handedly led the commandos to penetrate the rear, speeding up the progress of the Gulf War. This is a very good general, but in the end, he was fascinated by the merits, hehe...... But there is no doubt that this is a person worthy of respect, at least all his life has been fighting for the country. ”
"Yes, I'm sure of the loyalty of General Barkley, who is much like some of the generals of my country, who has fought for his country all his life. So I didn't let him suffer in any way, just a leg. It stands to reason that I should have tortured him, but I didn't, and that's my respect for General Barkley. ”
"Thank you for your respect."
"You're welcome, they are all soldiers, and they all die one day, the difference is nothing more than whether they die with dignity, hehehe......"
After chatting for a while, Xiao Yuanchao finished eating canned food, drank red wine, leaned back on the chair and smoked a cigarette slowly.
"No one wants to die, not even you, right? Believe me, there may be a chance for things to ease, because this is a very sensitive issue. ”
"Relaxation? I've got a torpedo ready to blow the Overwatch to pieces at any moment. ”
"But you didn't blow it up now, did you? You're also waiting for a turnaround. Red Warriors, believe me, the turnaround will soon come, and the death of General Barkley, combined with your hijacking of the Warden, has disrupted our entire plans. ”
Xiao Yuanchao gently exhaled a puff of smoke, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that the other party was telling the truth, and that Barkley's death and his own hijacking of the Overwatch had indeed disrupted the steps of the American side. Of course, what the other party says is true or false, this is a master negotiator, but also a psychological expert - all negotiators are psychological experts!
It was precisely because the overall plan was disrupted that Xiao Yuanchao waited quietly here. Although he was desperate, he was not completely desperate at this time. If he waited until despair was complete, it would be when he and the Watcher were all gone.
White House.
The current head of the White House Guard is frustrated because they have never worked out the best solution. The main reason for not studying it is that it is impossible to appease Xiao Yuanchao, even if the negotiators have revealed a lot of words to stabilize the other party's emotions, but there is no progress at all in the substance.
Cut to infiltrate the Watcher? It's impossible, Xiao Yuanchao has already set up the bomb. Injection of neurotoxins through punching? It is also impossible, the entire submarine is divided into several sections, and once the hatch is closed, a single airtight space is formed.
Abandon the Overwatch and blow it up? That would instantly leak the rare earth deposits on the Mona Island!
To put it simply, the US wants to ensure that the matter of rare earth mines is not discovered by any country; The second is to ensure that the Watchman is returned to their hands intact. If it's just a single solution, but if you want both, it becomes difficult to start.
The best way is to start with Xiao Yuanchao, but unfortunately this guy is not soaked in oil and salt.
"We have sixteen hours left, sixteen hours left before His Excellency the President asked, and who can tell me what to do?" The person in charge was irritable.
It's a pity that no one told him what to do, and the current situation is that if he can't keep the Watcher, he can't keep the rare earth mine. In principle, this area of the sea belongs to Australia, and once there is a big problem with the Watcher, the focus changes. There must be countries that smell the problem here, and the explosion of such an Ohio-class submarine can't explain the cattiness here?
At this stage, the Watcher has been hijacked, and the US has enough reasons to lock it down and solve the problem, so that no one else can interfere. Once something goes wrong with the Watcher, the focus is really different. There will be people who will come to investigate what is going on here, and there will be countries that will find ways to infiltrate and find the secrets behind the explosion of a nuclear submarine.
At that time, the problem of rare earth mines cannot be covered up. Everyone is jealous of this huge reserve of rare earth ore, and everyone wants to jump in and get a piece of the pie. The US will be criticized by the world and will be forced to divide the interests of the rare earth mines under its control to maintain stability.
"Maybe Lady Victoria has a way." An event handler makes a sound.
The moment he heard Mrs. Victoria's words, the person in charge immediately saw hope.
"Contact Lady Victoria now, no, I'll do it personally!"
In a situation where everyone has no choice, maybe Lady Victoria will have the best solution. Pity...... Mrs. Victoria refused outright on the grounds that she was ill.
That's right, Victoria refused, because there were still sixteen hours left, and it was still early!
