Chapter 175: The Verge
Tokyo Bay, Yokosuka base.
The United States Pacific Command is set up here, as the command center of the Pacific strategy, it is not only a brain, but also a manifestation of strong muscles.
The current commander is Lieutenant General Willard.
It has the Seventh Fleet, a powerful aircraft carrier fleet, which can almost walk sideways in the Pacific Ocean.
It has three port bases in Yokosuka, Sasebo and Guam, and its home port is Yokosuka in Toei.
The Seventh Fleet alone has a flagship, the USS Blue Ridge, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS George Washington, three to four missile-equipped cruisers, 18 to 20 guided-missile destroyers and frigates, five to six attack submarines, five to eight landing ships, 18 logistics support vessels, and a number of hovercraft and auxiliary vessels.
In the Western Pacific, it's definitely a significant force.
The commandant's office at the Yokosuka base.
Hubbard hurried here, ignored the guards, came to the door of Willard's office, and knocked hard.
Hearing the coquettish gasp inside, Hubbard frowned, and knocked the door again.
"Falk Squid ......" a big man in disheveled clothes, angrily opening the door, and the throat that was about to scold was stuck.
Hubbard walked into the office with a blank face, the room filled with the smell of erosion, and two women in sailor suits were shivering in the corner.
Willard, who was tidying up his clothes, waved his hand unhappily: "Take them away." β
The guards hurriedly took the two sailor suits and women away, and only Hubbard and Willard were left in the room, who had an awkward atmosphere.
"I don't want to worry about your private life, but there are some things to be aware of, Willard." Hubbard warned, somewhat angrily.
Although Willard was thick-skinned, he didn't want to get into trouble, and replied perfunctorily: "I know, why are you in such a hurry?"
Syllable! A document was tossed on the desk, and Willard opened it nonchalantly, and when he looked at it, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Are these guys looking for death?"
Hubbard stared into Willard's eyes and said solemnly, "So, Willard, it's time for you to act." β
βOKγβ
Willard, who was angry, immediately contacted the Pentagon and added fuel to the situation.
β¦β¦
July 27th.
The Yokosuka Command proposed to South Goryeo to conduct joint exercises in Ganghwa Bay, and the tone was so direct that South Goryeo was not at all allowed to refuse.
On the same day, the announcement of the joint exercise was released with great fanfare, and it is obvious that Willard is definitely not at ease with this so-called exercise.
Suddenly, tensions arose in Northeast Asia.
β¦β¦
Above the port of the Yokosuka base.
Countless soldiers were carrying supplies, and even the contents of the strategic reserve were being pulled out.
Lieutenant Commander Hami Adams and Deputy Commander Lieutenant Commander Jack Van of the USS Los Angeles are in the strategic reserve.
"Lieutenant Colonel Adams, Lieutenant Colonel Fan, please sign for confirmation." The officer in charge of the reserve handed them a handover list.
Hami Adams took it and signed it directly, handing it to Jack Van on the side.
The Los Angeles is an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, the first of which was commissioned in November 1981.
It has a water displacement of 16,600 tons, an underwater displacement of 18,700 tons, a length of 170.7 meters, a width of 12.8 meters, a diving depth of up to 300 meters, an underwater speed of 20 knots, and a self-sufficiency of 70 days.
The first eight boats of this class are equipped with "Trident I" missiles with a range of 75,000 kilometers and eight warheads, and from the ninth ship, each of them will carry "Trident II" missiles with a range of 11,000 kilometers and 14 warheads.
In addition, four 533-mm torpedo launchers in the bow of this class are capable of firing MK-48 torpedoes.
Watching the strategic weapons being pulled out of the reserve and loaded directly onto the Los Angeles, Jack Van encountered this situation for the first time, fully loaded with strategic weapons, he turned his head and said solemnly: "Hammy, the situation is not right!" β
"I don't know." Hami Adams was very calm, he knew, and he had received a secret order.
The two of them watched these things silently, and they were loaded onto the Los Angeles, and more and more soldiers felt that something was wrong.
Inside the entire base, the atmosphere was unusually solemn, and the soldiers who usually had hippie smiling faces were not in the mood to joke.
After all, when you go to Jianghua Bay for exercises in full gear, this position is too sensitive, and if you accidentally brush the gun, it will be over.
July 28, around eight o'clock in the morning.
Dozens of warships sailed out of the port of Yokosuka and entered the Sagami Beach through the narrow waterway between Tokyo Bay and Sagami Nada.
After entering the Sagami Shoal, the aircraft carrier fleet quickly adjusted its distance and arrangement, forming a combat formation, preparing to enter the deep sea area of the Pacific Ocean through the waterway between the Izu Peninsula and the Izu Seven Islands. (7) (8) Chinese is the fastest update on the whole network ΟΟΟ.78zΟ.cΞ΄ΠΌ
on the Blue Ridge, the flagship of the fleet.
Lieutenant General Willard did not dare to be negligent, after all, the exercise area was too close to Huaguo to allow him to be too confident.
Radar, early warning aircraft, and satellite surveillance are operating around the clock.
Fighter planes on the aircraft carrier are ready to deal with enemies and attacks that may appear at any time.
The eight nuclear submarines under the seabed are also formed into three echelons, silently lurking in the deep sea of about 200 meters.
Hami Adams looked at the radar and communication system, raised his hand again to look at the time, turned his head expressionlessly and ordered: "Jack, before crossing the Okinawa Islands, you are on duty. β
βOKγβ
Hami Adams turned and walked to the back, but instead of going to the break room, he came to an on-board computer room.
"Captain Adams." The three soldiers in charge of the computer room hurriedly saluted.
Hami Adams pulled something from his pocket that resembled a USB flash drive and handed it to the soldier: "This is a system correction patch, immediately patch the submarine system." β
"But it's not ......," said one of the soldiers, hesitantly.
Hami Adams directly took out a document signed by Willard himself, and solemnly ordered the soldiers: "Execute it immediately." β
"Yes."
The soldier immediately inserted the memory into the computer, patched the system in less than five minutes, and checked it again to find that there were no problems.
Hami Adams had just left the computer room and returned to the break room, where he silently entered the bathroom.
I took out the document agreeing to the system upgrade from the side pocket, looked at it quietly for ten minutes, and then took out a Marlboro and slowly lit it.
Call! Hammy Adams looked at himself in the mirror, his bloodshot eyes and his skin pale under the incandescent light, as if his soul had been sucked out by the devil.
Ignite the document with a lighter and throw it into the sink, which quickly burns and is quickly burned to ashes.
Press the faucet switch, and all traces are washed down the drain into the Pacific Ocean, and perhaps no one will ever know the truth.
The truth of history is always shrouded in a fog, and Hami Adams finished a cigarette and washed his face.
Leaving the bathroom casually, lying on the stiff and cold bed, unable to calm down the depression in his heart for a long time.
And the situation of the Seventh Fleet pouring out of the nest is like a firefly in the dark for China, which has the Beidou system and the terahertz satellite system.
The calm world began to become restless.
