Chapter 790: A Glimmer of Life
Receiving the news from President Yang personally calling, Qin Tairan, who was presiding over the company's executive meeting, jumped up in shock, he didn't care about explaining at all, he hurriedly listened to the phone while running back to his office, when he heard that there was no air defense system to deal with cruise missiles near the twin islands, and Duke could not take a helicopter yet, so he could only flee by boat, Qin Tairan was already frightened into a cold sweat.
In fact, in addition to the two helicopters on standby at the helicopter airport at any time, there are also several speedboats parked on the pier, as well as two flying-wing fast ferries that regularly travel between the twin islands and the mainland, that is to say, Duke still has a few chances to escape from the twin islands, as for whether he can escape from the attack of the US military, that is, he will do his best to obey the fate of God.
Anyway, Qin Tairan will let all these vehicles be dispatched, and the 4 Tomahawk cruise missiles are facing more than a dozen moving targets, and Duke still has a few chances to escape no matter what he says. Therefore, when Qin Tairan hung up the phone of Chief Yang, his mind gradually recovered a little from the violent shock, he was originally a professional on the special front, and this was originally his strong point, but the news of Chief Yang was too shocking, so that Qin Tairan also lost his usual composure.
When his mind returned to normal, in a blink of an eye, Qin Tairan had a plan in his heart, even in a place like Twin Islands, Qin Tairan put more than 50 professional security personnel around Duke, these professionals selected from the special forces and the Marine Corps are not only proficient in combat, but also proficient in most land, sea and air vehicles, as long as Qin Tairan gives an order, the various vehicles on the Twin Islands will move as suspicious soldiers to cover Duke's retreat.
Although Qin Tairan's safety and security plan does not have a hypothetical scenario of such an extreme situation, there is also a response plan for the twin islands to face a small-scale frogman sneak attack, so after calming down a little, Qin Tairan was about to deploy Duke's retreat plan, when the phone in his hand suddenly rang again, Qin Tairan looked at the phone number, his heart chuckled, and his face couldn't help but change again.
"Xiao Zhao, I'm Qin Tairan" Qin Tairan said calmly, but his heart has begun to sink downward, this number is the phone number of Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Lie, the captain of the Duke Special Guards, if it were not for an extremely important situation, Zhao Lie would not have taken the initiative to call him, and the news of the US missile attack had just been learned, obviously Zhao Lie could not know about it now, that is to say, there have been some very serious security situations on the twin islands.
"Chief, we have been attacked by unknown armed frogmen, and now the ships on the dock and the helicopters at the airfield have been destroyed, and I need urgent support." Zhao Lie anxiously reported, "Right now, half of our manpower is protecting Dr. Duke, relying on the computing center to stand by for help, and the other half of our manpower is out to clear the target. ”
After listening to Zhao Lie's report, Qin Tairan's eyes darkened, and he almost didn't faint, this is a perfect plan to hunt Duke, it is obvious that the enemy has been planning for a long time, he is really too careless, I can't imagine that the Americans have made such a big move for Duke, sending frogmen and launching cruise missile attacks, compared to the last time they dealt with Uncle bin Laden, the Americans are more vicious and bold this time, and even do not hesitate to provoke a war!
Yes, if it is only to destroy the twin islands, although the high-ranking bosses of the PLA are saddened by the huge losses and the huge political pressure of the territory being invaded, it may not immediately trigger a large-scale war, because judging from the current situation, the PLA will have the strength to launch a decisive blow against the US troops stationed in the surrounding areas in two or three years.
But once Duke is also in this sneak attack, the bigwigs of the Military Commission will not think so, last time Duke was caught in the plot and did not die, but the Americans paid the lives of several famous scientists, this trick was a-for-tat means, so that the Americans temporarily suspended the plot against Duke One by one Of course, this has a lot to do with Qin Tairan's defense of Duke's perimeter into an iron bucket.
If Duke is really dead, Qin Tairan licked his dry lips unconsciously, he really doesn't know what earth-shattering changes will happen in the future, "Zhao Lie," Qin Tairan's difficult voice startled Zhao Lie, who was thousands of miles away, although the twin islands are now under attack, in Zhao Lie's opinion, the problem is not too serious, the increasingly sparse gunfire outside shows that his people are basically in control of the situation, as long as the shore sends support forces, especially helicopters to send Duke back to the mainland, Zhao Lie does not believe that there are still people who can threaten Duke's safety.
He has already called the nearest county armed police squadron to prepare to respond, but to mobilize the troops' helicopters, especially now it is not clear whether the enemy has been cleared, Zhao Lie hopes that it is best to mobilize one or two armed helicopters to escort him, he does not have this authority now, so he will call Qin Tairan for help, but in Zhao Lie's opinion, this is just a clumsy attack, and now even Duke is not hit, with the more than 20 elite forces and deployments he has at hand, there are no one or two hundred people who don't want to get close at all.
In this place so close to the shore, Zhao Lie did not believe that so many enemies would emerge, but our intelligence system and early warning system knew nothing. Since it was smuggled over, Zhao Lie judged that the other party would dispatch dozens of people at most.
"Rest assured, chief, we are confident that we have the ability to protect Dr. Duke's safety, and now that the gunfire outside has become sparse, we should soon be able to control the whole situation," Zhao Lie hurriedly reported, briefly explaining the situation on his side, so as not to misjudge the chief by misunderstanding himself and exaggerating the danger too much, "However, due to the unclear situation, I suggest that Dr. Duke evacuate back to the mainland immediately." ”
It's too late, Qin Tairan sighed mentally, in another ten minutes, the entire Twin Islands will no longer exist, and no matter how fast the means of transportation are, it will be too late.
"Zhao Lie, listen to me," the previous plan was completely broken, and in a hurry, Qin Tairan couldn't think of any good way, so he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven, "The Twin Islands will be attacked by the devastating Tomahawk cruise missiles of the US Army in ten minutes at most, you immediately lead the frogmen to leave the Twin Islands with Dr. Duke as far away as possible!" Now, act now! ”
When Zhao Lie heard that there was such a big plan hidden behind the attack, his face turned pale for a while, and he stayed there and couldn't speak, it turned out that destroying the means of transportation on the island was just the enemy's bottom of the kettle, and the real big move was the ensuing Tomahawk cruise missile attack.
As a former elite of the Marine Corps, Zhao Lie certainly knows the power of the US Tomahawk cruise missiles, and in a small place like Twin Islands, if there are not a few of them, they will be beaten into a reef!
However, without helicopters and speedboats, by swimming, how far can you escape in about ten minutes, and in the current situation, it is remarkable that you can escape at most 4 or 500 meters by escaping to the sea and then launching into the water, and this distance is not safe at all for the strike range of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
In other words, these hundreds of people on the island are basically in danger now.
"What the hell is going on?" Duke who was already suspicious next to him walked over, looked at Zhao Lie like this and asked in a deep voice, the explosion outside and the subsequent gunshots have already shocked the scientific and technological personnel working here, although under the constraints of Zhao Lie and other security personnel, everyone obeyed the command and hid in their respective rooms, but the vast majority of scientific and technological workers have not experienced this situation, everyone's mood is still very unstable, and it is very likely that Zhao Lie and others will not be able to restrain themselves and start to flee in all directions.
Zhao Lie heard Duke's question, and a spirit recovered. "Chief, the superior chief has informed us that we will be attacked by US Tomahawk missiles here in ten minutes, and we will leave the twin islands immediately after the chief will follow our people to set off." Zhao Lie looked at the scientific and technological personnel who were staring at the movement not far away, and leaned close to Duke's ear and whispered.
Rao has gone through a lot of winds and waves, and Duke, whose nerves have gradually become stronger, was stunned when he heard the news, and then in his mind, Kerry automatically displayed a series of parameters of the US Tomahawk cruise missile, presided over military research for so long, in Kerry's database, he has accumulated detailed information on most of the world's weapons, and the information on Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are extremely widely used by the US military, is even more detailed. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) had even obtained an actual product of a third-generation Tomahawk for analysis, so Duke quickly concluded that the Twin Islands would be essentially destroyed if they were attacked by more than two of these missiles.
"How are we going to leave?" Duke was the one who had escaped death several times, and he quickly recovered from the shock and asked calmly. "This cruise missile can change the target at any time, and the killing range is also very large, and if we leave the island by helicopter or boat, it will be a good target for them."
In the blink of an eye, Duke already understood that he was the real target of the US military today, so although the current situation was not very clear, coupled with the explosion outside just now, although Zhao Lie did not say it, but Duke already had an outline in his heart, this matter will not be so simple today, the opponent has found such an opportunity with all his heart, how can he let himself escape so easily, and most of the outside has already cut off his back road.
Zhao Lie was stunned for a moment, looking at Duke's eyes as if he had penetrated his heart, knowing that no lie could hide the person in front of him, who claimed to have the highest IQ on the earth, "All the vehicles have been blown up, and now we can only temporarily swim out of the sea from the twin islands and wait for rescue." ”
"Free? Xiao Zhao, how far do you think we can swim in such a short period of time, escape the killing range of the Tomahawk cruise missile explosion, and can you be sure that there is no enemy waiting for us in the sea? Duke was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly, now that everyone can go to the island and blow up helicopters and ships, it won't be much of a problem to lurk a few frogman snipers at sea, Qin Tairan's idea is completely sick and rushed to the hospital.
When Zhao Lie heard this, his face turned pale again. In his anxiety just now, he didn't have time to think about it so much, but now that Duke asked like this, how could he not understand. Being able to blow up the means of transportation on their side just right, and the timing of the missile attack being discovered almost at the same time, it can be seen that this plan is by no means a temporary idea of the enemy, how could they leave such a big flaw, I am afraid that at this moment, in the sea near the computing center, there have long been many sniper masters hidden.
"Chief, what shall we do now?" Zhao Lie was really blind now, and asked in a trembling voice.
Duke patted him on the shoulder and said calmly, "You just go and control the security of the island, and I'll take care of the rest." Fortunately, these cruise missiles are able to change the target of attack in the middle of the attack, and maybe we still have a chance of survival. ”
I don't know why, although Duke didn't say anything, but in Zhao Lie's desperate heart, a glimmer of hope rose for no reason, he nodded, and really obeyed Duke's order to go outside to deploy and remove the nails left by the enemy.
He couldn't do anything if he stayed here anyway.
