CHAPTER XXVIII
Seeing that the two colonels standing in front of us would be so polite to our two hairy boys, Tang Zongli and I didn't know what to say for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although there was no language to promise, but looking at the friendly hand stretched out, the two of us could only naturally quickly reach out and shake hands with the two of them. To be exact, the hands of the two of us were held tightly by the two sturdy soldiers in front of us.
With a flash of pain on the back of my hand, I could clearly feel the contempt that both of them had in their hearts for me, and I thought that the two of them must have looked down on us as we both looked at our thin skin and tender flesh.
Of course, I don't want to be angry at this time, I understand the soldiers, they only recognize that you are stronger than them, as for the rest, it is useless to talk about it.
Thinking of this, I continued to smile and said, "My name is Chen Xinyao, this is my assistant Tang Zongli, and we are all students of the College of Science and Technology now. It's a pleasure to be here with you this time, I have admired soldiers since I was a child, and I want to be a soldier when I grow up. Therefore, since I was a child, I have always had respect for the military, and in view of the fact that national affairs do not allow for child's play, let's just get down to business. Before we came, the two of you had already been informed of the purpose of our trip, right? As I spoke, I looked at the two of them with a smile on my face.
Hearing my words, Wang Dahai held my hand tightly and said enthusiastically: "Comrade Chen Xinyao, we have been waiting for you here for a long time. Three days ago, we received a notice from the Ministry of Defense that we were to carry out a double-A mission. The Ministry of Defense, through the Navy, ordered the USS Nightowl ballistic missile nuclear-powered submarine to operate in this area in order to wait for the arrival of the two men. The order from above is the highest order, so we are fully prepared mentally for it. The above instructed us to ensure the smooth completion of this mission, and of course, it is also our honor as soldiers that all the officers and men of the Night Cat can carry out the double A class mission with the two young national elites, which is also the pride of the 86 naval soldiers on the submarine. Expectations for the arrival of the two were high, and the fleet leaders had already personally mobilized the Nightowl before you arrived. At present, the morale of the officers and men of the whole ship is very high, and we will report our determination to dedicate everything to the country and devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the smooth implementation of this double A mission. Regardless of whether we encounter difficulties or not, we will fully cooperate with the two of you to successfully complete this arduous task, raise troops for a thousand days, and now the time has come for the country to review us. ”
Although Wang Dahai said it sonorously and powerfully, I broke out in a cold sweat while listening to it. Thinking that Wang Dahai said just now that he would complete this mission with the determination to die, I was first startled in my heart after hearing it. Originally, I thought that this mission was completely planned by Julie in advance, of course, it was selfish to say that this trip to Topairi Island was completely for my personal purpose to catch them, but I didn't expect it to be like this now.
Julie, this woman is also a little too evil, and a small ploy immediately gathered a group of death squads. And what's even more odious and excessive is that without realizing it, I was in the middle of this group of death squads.
This made my heart beat a little faster at once, and I even wondered if they were going to blow up and sink their own nuclear submarine if they couldn't complete the mission. So as soon as Wang Dahai finished speaking, I hurriedly smiled at the two of them and said, "Captain Chen Meng, Political Commissar Wang, in fact, the matter is not as serious as you think, of course, the reason why this mission will be classified into the double A mission is also very simple. We just want the top secret of this operation, this mission is only to solve a small political problem, and as for the danger, then Ken Ben will not talk about it for long. You tell everybody, so that our people don't have to be nervous, just like you do strategic duty, we go to that place, go and go back. Also, we are twelve nautical miles from Tuping Island, and the nuclear submarine can rest. Once there, you are only responsible for docking the submarine 300 meters below the sea, and you don't have to get close to the four nautical miles of Tuping Island. So even if the island is not theirs, they have no right to interfere with our existence and behavior from the perspective of international law. After saying this, I looked at Tang Zongli with a wry smile.
Hearing what I said, the two colonels immediately looked at me with astonishment. After a brief silence, they stepped aside and began to mumble quietly.
After the two of them discussed in a whisper for a long time, I saw Chen Meng pull down his face and said to me solemnly: "Comrade Chen Xinyao, you asked us to stop at a distance of 12 nautical miles from the target, this is not a plan given to us by the military in advance. Are you doubting the Night Owl's combat capabilities? Or despise our audacity as soldiers? Although our submarines are not as quiet as the Russian Ocean Black Hole submarines, with the continuous development of our country's scientific and technological field, the Night Cat also represents our latest nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine technology. As a strong shield for soldiers and the country, we have the confidence to be within four nautical miles. This is the duty of a soldier, and it is also our obligation and national mission. You need not doubt this, let alone insult the glory that we deserve as soldiers. ”
Suddenly, when I heard Chen Meng start talking to me in such a serious tone, I was extremely surprised. Although I knew that their understanding of my words was a little skewed, this misunderstanding led me to another question.
I don't know if this kind of use is fair to these soldiers' loyalty to the country, even if it can comfort themselves, but when I heard Chen Meng's words, I still felt empty. For a moment I didn't know how to explain what I meant by my words, and I felt a little embarrassed so I sat there in silence, and for a while I didn't know what I was going to say next.
The continued awkwardness of the atmosphere forced me to turn to Tang Zongli sitting next to me, and I hope that Tang Zongli at this time can help me break the current embarrassing scene in a clever way.
Tang Zongli saw that I began to look at him, and immediately understood, he hurriedly smiled and said to Chen Meng: "The two of you have misunderstood what Chen Xinyao meant, in fact, what we just said is not what we meant. Chen Xinyao is a person who doesn't know how to express himself, and he doesn't know how to explain it to you when he misunderstands it just now. This is the case, because this mission also brought some additional technical subject experiments, and of course our UAVs have also made a series of breakthroughs in technology. In view of the newer state of technology, we would like to try to do some experiments at a distance of twelve nautical miles, and of course this decision is not known to those above you. We take full responsibility in the event of absolute confidentiality. ”
Hearing this, the faces of the two colonels sitting across from us softened slightly. Seeing that Chen Meng's serious face finally squeezed out a smile, I hurriedly apologized and said, "Colonel Chen, Chief of Staff Wang." This matter is my fault, and I should have communicated with the Ministry of Defense in advance, so that the misunderstanding just now would not have occurred. Since I was a child, I have admired soldiers, and my dream when I was a child was that I could make my due contribution to the cause of national defense when I grew up. I didn't take into account your feelings just now, so I said that abruptly, and I would like to express my sincerest apologies to both of you again. I know that you have made a series of arduous training in the early stage for this mission, and I also know that your loyalty to the country cannot be doubted, and the mission of the soldiers cannot be tarnished. From your military rank, we can see that the Night Cat is a special ballistic missile nuclear submarine that specializes in special missions around the world, and you are a national hero and our pride. Once again, we would like to express our highest respect for your silent dedication in the depths of the ocean. Of course, when it comes to this mission, you may also know that with the increasing development of science and technology in the world, great changes are also taking place in national defense science and technology. There are very few soldiers like you in our country now, and we know that you are a group of heroes who have dedicated their youth and lives to this country. When faced with a national mission, no one will doubt the hero's loyalty and mission in front of you. However, with the change of the role of war and the new connotation given to people by war, from the perspective of a new type of war, every country in modern warfare has now begun to cherish the lives of heroes more, because only if you can live better, can our country continue to erect an indestructible steel shield. This is the cornerstone of a country and its people that can live and work in peace and contentment for a long time, and it is also the pride of our scientific and technological workers. ”
With excitement, I said these words without words, and then I and Chen Meng's hand were tightly held together again.
"It's really a young man, I didn't expect Comrade Chen Xinyao to have such insight and courage at such a young age. My old Chen is convinced. It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, with what you just said, everything we do here is worth it. It says that you are here to meet the rank of official, and from now until the end of this mission, the entire crew of the Nightowl will be completely at your orders and dispatches. ”
"Herald?" After saying this, Chen Meng shouted out of the door.
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the hatch was immediately opened. As soon as the door opened, a second lieutenant sailor with a folder in his pocket flashed in from outside, and when he entered, he first stood upright, and then stood straight in front of us. After receiving Chen Meng's signal, the second lieutenant herald opened the briefcase in his hand and put it on his arm, and then took out his pen and began to make a gesture ready to record at any time.
After Chen Meng looked at us, he began to give orders in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Now in the name of the captain of the Night Cat ballistic missile nuclear submarine, I issue the following combat orders, and the orders are as follows: First, the double-A mission command codenamed Storm has now been established, and the command is composed of four people, namely Chen Xinyao, Chen Meng, Tang Zongli, and Wang Dahai, and the commander-in-chief is Comrade Chen Xinyao. From now on, the Night Owl will be under the command of Comrade Chen Xinyao.
Second, from the moment the order was issued, the Night Cat entered a wartime state, and all officers and men of the ship entered the highest state of combat readiness.
Thirdly, according to the order of Commander-in-Chief Chen, the Night Owl was to anchor in place twelve nautical miles from Tuping Island. Dive 300 meters and wait for further orders. Complete. ”
After the herald recorded Chen Meng's order on the document, he handed the recorded document to Chen Meng with both hands, and after Chen Meng and Wang Dahai signed their names, he stood up and saluted again, and then quickly walked out and began to convey the order.
"Colonel Chen, can you take us on a tour of the Nightcat first?" Seeing that Tang Zongli was looking around curiously, I asked Chen Meng to say.
"Absolutely, it's our pleasure. Now it's under your command, and we'll lead the way if you want to visit there. Hearing my request to visit the Night Owl, Chen Meng immediately said happily.
"Then let's go and visit the Nightowl's weapons system and see the mysterious combat-ready nuclear missile." Tang Zongli saw Chen Meng's refreshing answer, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly smiled and said.
"Okay, then let's go check it out. It just so happened that the strategic duty missiles over there were about to start being replaced, and we rushed over to see it. Listening to Tang Zongli's suggestion, Wang Dahai said with a smile.
So our group went through layers of checkpoints and access control to a huge glass door, which should be the innermost layer of access control. When he got here, Wang Dahai turned around and said with an apologetic expression: "Comrade Chen, Comrade Tang, the access control here is set up at the base. The whole body scanning and recognition system is installed, which can only allow a very few people to enter, and outsiders have no permission, so we can only see the scene inside through the glass window.
Seeing that Chen Meng also showed a little embarrassment, I hurriedly smiled and waved my hand, and Tang Zongli smiled when he saw me waving his hand and told them that he had seen it very clearly here. While I was talking, I saw a herald suddenly come out of the glass door, and as soon as he saw Chen Meng in front, he quickly ran in front of Chen Meng.
After saluting Chen Menglizheng, the herald reported loudly: "Report to Comrade Captain Colonel, the combat readiness watch system requests the replacement of the nuclear missile on duty, please give instructions." With that, he handed the open briefcase to Chen Meng with both hands. After Chen Meng signed, he turned around and ran in again.
After a while, we saw that the technicians inside were already busy moving the huge missiles from the launcher with their robotic arms, and then they began to skillfully disassemble the warhead and disassemble the charge. After they carefully removed the warheads, there were special people next to them who carefully placed the two dismantled warheads in the refrigerator that had been opened in advance with a robotic hand.
Once this was done in advance, they began to disassemble the thrusters and solid-fuel components. After everything was disassembled, they used a lift to transport two new ICBM propulsion units from the basement level, which had been tested and maintained, without warheads.
After the re-testing was completed, someone next to him carefully took out the two warhead charges with a robotic arm in the refrigerated cabinet again, and then the technicians began to carefully start assembling in the combat part. After the warhead was assembled, they began to dock the propulsion and warheads.
Once everything is assembled, the technician begins to calibrate and inspect the entire system with a computer. After confirming that everything was correct, the technicians began to place the assembled missiles on a launch stand next to a torpedo tube. After the computer correction was carried out again, the green light next to it flashed, and their flashing indicated that the two nuclear missiles on strategic duty had been replaced.
Wang Dahai, who accompanied us on the tour, told us that each of the two nuclear warheads has a yield of 5 million tons. Although the Night Cat is a strategic ballistic missile nuclear submarine responsible for special missions around the world, it is also on strategic duty for two intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles.
With a range of 16,000 km, the multi-stage ICBM is launched from a special torpedo tube on the roof of a submarine through a cold launch system and can accurately hit any target around the globe.
In total, the Night Cat carries a dozen of these ICBMs, which are a strong backing for the country to maintain peace and its own interests, as well as a source of pride for them as military personnel. ”
Listening to Chief of Staff Wang Dahai's words, I was a little excited as I stood aside and watched the missile replacement process. Although under the baptism of alien technology, I have completely forgotten the existing civilization of mankind, especially this extremely inferior level of technology.
But today, I don't know why, but I, who have never been interested in this kind of primary nuclear strike, are now watching my blood boiling. I think it's a kind of national pride, a kind of national pride. Although super-powered weapons will completely replace these primary nuclear strike forces in the foreseeable future, they will live forever as a symbol of the military spirit. It wasn't until much later that I realized that it wasn't the nuclear missiles that moved me when I stood there, it was the people who shocked me, it was the spirit embodied in those people, and this spirit cannot be replaced by advanced technology.
On the way back to the rest cabin, Tang Zongli and I looked at the sailors who had entered the wartime state along the way, and our eyes were in awe of them. They are all so serious about fulfilling their duties as soldiers, and our hearts can't help but be full of gratitude to them.
In any case, from the perspective of national and national interests, this group of soldiers dancing on the tip of the sword are heroes in our minds, they are the strong backing of the people, the iron warriors who maintain peace, and the loveliest group of special people in this era.
After we had a hearty lunch in their cafeteria, I set up the operating platform of the drone in the command cabin specially prepared for me by Chen Meng. After everything was debugged, Tang Zongli and I finished the day's work, and in the depths of the ocean that did not know day and night, we could temporarily return to the rest warehouse to rest and rest.
