On the seabed of the East China Sea, about 100 kilometers southwest of Kagoshima, the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine "Montpellier," which had been swimming quietly, suddenly sounded the sound of a battle alarm, and for a moment the boat seemed to be on fire, and all the personnel moved.

Donald, who was napping in the captain's lounge. Colonel Michel also stood up, and before he could come out, the intelligence officer of the "Montpellier", Tony Murphy. Lieutenant Scott had already hurried over, "Report to the colonel, we have received an operational order from the command of the Pacific Fleet to immediately launch an attack on the designated target!" "Tony. Lieutenant Scott stood up to Captain Donald. Colonel Michelle reported.

"Got it, Tony, what is the military target this time, has the command finally made up its mind to start a war with the Chinese?" Colonel Michel asked casually as he walked: Since the Diaoyutai Air Battle, the Americans have amassed nine aircraft carrier squadrons, more than 1,000 fighters of various types, and more than 200,000 troops stationed in the western Pacific region.

In addition, not long ago, the US military suffered a big loss in Africa, and front-line officers like Colonel Michel had long had a premonition that war was imminent; one by one, since World War II, the US military had not suffered such a big loss, and a squadron of fighters was completely annihilated, while the opponent retreated.

Although the Americans did not take advantage of several confrontations with the Chinese, whether it was the Korean War and the Vietnam War earlier, or the recent Diaoyutai Air War and the Persian War, there was not a time when Africa lost as much. Therefore, for a front-line officer like Colonel Michelle, if the boss doesn't think of a way, the unique global hegemony position of the US military is really irretrievable.

"Colonel, not a military target, but a civilian one." Lieutenant Scott whispered with an unusual expression, "If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a space exploration center built by Dr. Duke in China. "Lieutenant Scott is really engaged in intelligence work, and from a simple attack coordinate number, he can deduce the specific thing that this coordinate represents.

Colonel Michelle was startled, and his originally hurried footsteps were paused, "Civilian target? Tony, are you sure that the command's orders were not misplaced? Colonel Michelle asked, slowing down. For Colonel Michel, in the current tense atmosphere of military confrontation, there is no problem at all in launching strikes against PLA military targets, but if it is a civilian facility that strikes first, then it is elusive behind the scenes.

Even in war, since the 80s of the last century, the US military, which has many high-tech strike methods, has rarely attacked even civilian facilities indiscriminately, and they have pursued surgical precision strikes. Because the political cost of a blatant attack on civilian facilities is so great that it is easy to give a handle, because a military strike will always have to be resolved by a political solution, which is no longer the same as the direct occupation of the colonial era.

"The command had exactly the same combat order on both occasions." Lieutenant Scott confirmed. How could the command be wrong in such an important period of launching an attack.

When Colonel Michel sat in front of the combat command system, he saw the red destruction target marked on the large-screen combat map, which has now been locked by four "Tomahawk Block IV-C" cruise missiles, which are equipped with 454kg high-explosive warheads, and use a GPS receiver with anti-jamming capabilities and a dual-band satellite UHF data chain, which can re-change the attack target in the middle of the flight, compared with the old Tomahawk cruise missiles that were ignored after the early launch, this new type of missile strike will be more accurate and flexible. It is the best weapon for the US Navy to destroy the opponent's large bases.

Colonel Michel looked at the enlarged target island on the combat map, it is such a small place, it is estimated that there will be nothing left after one drop, and the Pacific Fleet Command actually asked for the use of 4 "Tomahawk Block IV-C" cruise missiles, is this preparing to wipe this small island off the sea in one fell swoop.

Colonel Michel has not yet come to his senses, the submarine combat command system flashed a few times, and the third combat order has arrived! This time it's simpler, attack now!

Colonel Michel received this order, and without hesitation, immediately ordered to launch an attack on the intended target, and four "Tomahawk Block IV-C" cruise missiles rushed towards the water through the missile vertical launch device, and soon rushed out of the water, and then changed direction, and flew towards the target at high speed at a height of more than 10 meters above the sea surface, although the target was 500 kilometers away, but at the speed of the Tomahawk cruise missile, it could destroy this target in more than 30 minutes at most.

"Sir, the Montpellier has attacked!" This movement on the bottom of the East China Sea was instantly transmitted back to Snyder, the headquarters of the CIA, through a military satellite, and Snyder, who was originally a little uneasy, was immediately relieved, and his mind entered an inexplicable state.

He had been staring at Duke for a long time, planning a lot of plans, and implementing a lot of actions to get rid of this target who was a great threat to American interests, but apart from a near success, Snyder didn't find any chance. Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let Snyder see an opportunity, that is, Duke wanted to build a space exploration center on the Twin Islands.

Unlike Duke's Lotus base, there are no important cities or military bases within two or three hundred kilometers of the surrounding area, so there is no increasingly sharp air defense system of the People's Liberation Army to defend it, and it is an ideal ambush location for Snyder.

It's just that most of the time Duke doesn't seem to be frequented here, but Snyder is not discouraged, he judges that Duke will set foot here one day, as long as he keeps an eye on Duke's whereabouts, there will be a chance. As the construction of the island from the military satellite began to come to an end, Snyder's people went all out to keep an eye on Duke's whereabouts, of course, this is not easy now, as Duke's contributions are increasing, Qin Tairan's team responsible for Duke's security is also increasing, and it is not weak at all compared to the force that protects the safety of the leader of No. 1.

And there have been no superfluous newcomers around Duke for a long time, most of them are old faces who have been following, making it difficult for Snyder to put a nail in it now.

In addition, Duke never uses public transportation to travel now, so it can be said that it is quite difficult to grasp Duke's whereabouts, so when Duke appeared on the Twin Islands a few days ago, Snyder did not confirm the news, but Snyder's intelligence network deployed around several major bases where Duke may be active finally confirmed the information from many channels to Duke to the Twin Islands.

As soon as Snyder confirmed the news, he immediately activated the plan and reported it to Director Noland, under the current circumstances, Snyder's proposal of this attack plan is obviously a politically risky and risky plan, although Director Norland is also interested in getting rid of Duke, but on the one hand, he does not have the authority to order the US Navy nuclear submarine to launch an attack on Chinese targets, and on the other hand, Noland does not dare to advocate this possible full-body action.

So then Director Noland reported to President Amy. Oriel, when he heard that this plan was to attack civilian targets, in addition to Dr. Duke, there were thousands of scientists working on the island, and his heart was also shocked, although China and the United States are now in a serious military confrontation, but on the one hand, they did not directly declare war, and this kind of direct attack on the other side's territory is tantamount to aggression.

This is very different in nature from the conflict in disputed territory such as Diaoyutai, and once it is attacked, there is little room for maneuver between China and the United States except for war; although it seems that the Chinese do not have the strength to attack the mainland, the American military bases in Asia and the western Pacific region can be attacked by the PLA at any time.

As the president of a country, O'Rel now does not think like Snyder that the Chinese will just protest and condemn after being attacked, as a politician, Aureel has seen that since he helped Pakistan defeat India, the PLA has begun to become a little aggressive, and the return of Taiwan Island and the Diaoyutai air battle have restored the momentum of the PLA that dared to fight and kill.

As soon as the morale of the military has risen, coupled with the rapid improvement of the PLA's military strength and weaponry in recent years, the days when an aircraft carrier formation could suppress the PLA Navy and could not move are long gone, and an elite fleet of the Japanese was completely wiped out, and in the face of the two US aircraft carrier formations in the South China Sea, the Chinese also drove away the Filipinos and the Vietnamese and took back Nansha, and then occupied the South China Sea, an oil-producing place. So that the US military, which wanted to wait for an opportunity to attack, could not find a chance to start.

Ten years back, how could the Chinese have such confidence. Not to mention-for-tat in Persia and blatant action in Africa.

O'Lai thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't make up his mind, although it was important to get rid of Dr. Duke, but now whether the US military is ready for a full-scale war with the PLA, Oleer still has no bottom in his heart.

Oriel brought in security consultant security consultant Brandt. Kata, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Tri-Services Sham. Grant and Secretary of Defense Carter. Karen discussed together, and in the face of the CIA's plan, Brandt. Kata objected, arguing that from a political point of view, the damage to the national interests of the United States was too great, and that if other countries on the planet dared to do so, those who gave the orders would surely be brought to trial by the International Military Tribunal for serious war crimes after the war.

For Duke is very jealous of Sham. Grant and Carter. However, Karen expressed her approval of getting rid of this great enemy of the United States, and the American army suffered a great loss in Africa. Grant and Carter. Karen and other military hawks have long held their breath, and this time getting rid of Duke is a double win.

After a long dispute between the two sides, Oleer finally made up his mind to carry out this plan after the military said that he was fully prepared for war.

Snyder had been worried that the cooked duck would fly away again, but when the Montpellier finally attacked while Duke was still on the Twin Islands, Snyder finally relented, and this time, Duke was doomed.
