Chapter 80: The Vanishing Legion

"What does it mean to be gone?" Someone was whispering underneath.

"We don't know much about the specific situation, and we haven't been notified by the people of Yongguo yet, judging from the information obtained by our radar satellites, the task force fleet of Yongguo with two amphibious assault ships as the core has entered a cloud of mist."

"This cloud is very strange, ordinary clouds and fog cannot block the electromagnetic wave reconnaissance of our radar satellites, but this cloud and fog actually shields electromagnetic signals, even if there is thunder and lightning in the clouds, it cannot produce such a strong shielding electromagnetic field."

"We don't know what happened in the clouds, but when this mysterious cloud cleared, there was nothing on the surface of the sea, and the whole fleet was gone."

"Later, we sent a large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to use synthetic aperture radar to probe the seabed, and we did not find any signs of a shipwreck."

"According to our speculation, the Ise people must have known the news in advance and launched a strike on the Yongguo fleet in advance, and as for that cloud and mist, it is likely that the Ise people have created an electromagnetic barrier in advance to cover their movements."

"What do you think about this incident?" The general finally asked.

"The strength of the Ise Maritime Self-Defense Force is not enough to defeat the task force composed of two amphibious assault ships, and even with the addition of the Ise Air Self-Defense Force, the two sides can basically reach a draw. And now, without the knowledge of the gods, to wipe out the entire fleet in a very short time, how did the Ise people manage such an impossible task? A rear admiral asked.

"This is where we are very confused, and of course there is also the possibility that in the event of a super typhoon, the fleet will be instantly silent and carried away by the ocean currents away from the place where the incident occurred. At present, the strongest typhoon on record, with wind speeds of more than 400 kilometers per hour, is fully capable of overturning 4 to 50,000 tons of amphibious assault ships. General Bai said.

"But there is a process in the formation of typhoons, and typhoons are all developed from weak tropical vortices. Due to the huge damage of typhoons, meteorological satellites around the world now have continuous tracking records for every weak tropical vortex that may develop into a typhoon, and have not found that there is a typhoon at that time and place. A meteorological expert from the Science and Technology Commission said.

"Is it possible that the Yongguo and the Ise people have reached a reconciliation and make us believe in the Yongguo fleet that Ise has destroyed. In fact, the two countries joined forces to engage in some kind of conspiracy. In fact, the fleet did not disappear at all, but engaged in electronic deception, so that we mistakenly believe that the fleet has disappeared. An intelligence officer said.

"It's unlikely, my radar satellites have been tracking continuously, and we can detect interference with our satellites, and there is no evidence that the satellites are being interfered with. Moreover, after the fact, our unmanned reconnaissance aircraft used optical and infrared sensors to detect without any results. A technical officer said.

"So what's going on? Encounter a ghost, or Bermuda! I've heard that Ise has a Dragon Triangle that is as famous as the Bermuda Triangle, and there have been many mysterious disappearances of ships and planes. A colonel said.

"The Dragon Triangle is located off the coast of Ise and in the North Pacific Ocean, not off the coast of the Soya Strait, and the two are far apart, and there has been no mysterious disappearance of ships and planes in the history of this place. The disappearance of the Dragon Delta ship has been proven to be the result of a combination of typhoons and earthquakes after decades of research, and is not a mystery. A naval officer said.

"This kind of disappearance of the legion has occurred more than once in military history." Ling Moyu took over the topic, and everyone looked at him in unison, he was the only one wearing civilian clothes.

"In the First World War, there were two incidents in which the formed army disappeared, one was when the combined British and New Zealand troops of 800 men disappeared in a fog in plain sight. On another occasion, hundreds of soldiers from two battalions of the French Malden Heights disappeared as quietly and mysteriously as the British army, and the French army also sent a large force to conduct a comprehensive search, and then returned empty-handed. Ling Moyu continued.

The earliest known disappearance of the army was in 1711, when nearly 4,000 Spanish soldiers were stationed overnight on a hill called Palien Hill to await the arrival of reinforcements. When the reinforcements arrived at the camp on the mountain the next morning, the firewood was still burning in the barracks, and the horses and cannons were also intact, but all the huge troops that were all over the mountains and fields disappeared without leaving a trace. Unlike the disappearance of the British army, the Spanish army still left some horses, artillery and firewood, but all the people disappeared mysteriously like the British and French troops. This mysterious disappearance is clearly documented in official Spanish documents. ”

"In addition to the above-mentioned disappearances, there are also some sporadic records, incidents of the disappearance of the army, and some legends that prove that the disappearance of the Legion did happen. It is not surprising to show that such a thing could actually happen. ”

"You mean that this incident is accidental, the work of gods and ghosts, and the creation of supernatural forces, and there is no point in us discussing this matter here?" A naval colonel said disapprovingly.

"The last few events were the most likely to form spontaneously, and this one is more likely to intervene." Ling Moyu continued.

"There are many differences between this incident and the previous time, first of all, the incident has never appeared at sea in the past, this time it appeared at sea, not only the submarine under the surface of the sea has also disappeared; Secondly, the scale of this incident is much greater than other times, this time the population disappeared in the tens of thousands, and there are tens of thousands of amphibious assault ships; Third, the incident occurred at a time when an offensive was about to be launched and various air-space surveillance systems were in place. ”

"At first, we only focused on the fleet and ignored the target it was going to attack, and at the time when the fleet was about to attack, there happened to be an infrared sensor satellite passing over the place."

"After analyzing the infrared spectrum, it was found that before the fleet entered the fog, the infrared signature on the island was greatly improved, significantly higher than usual, indicating that some of the energy on the island was in a highly excited state. According to calculations, the energy required to emit such a large infrared signature is equivalent to that of a nuclear bomb with a yield of 1 million tons. ”

"After the disappearance of the fleet, the infrared signature quickly decreased, to the point of returning to normal. The possibility that this kind of thing is a coincidence is not impossible, but it is very low, so it can be concluded that the island has adopted some unknown method to make the fleet disappear or destroy the fleet! Ling Moyu's words made the audience fall silent.
