You can see how serious the matter is by looking at the level of participants in the meeting, and you can also see how bad the task is.

So when the mission meeting is presided over by a major general, then everyone is trembling, and it is understandable. In particular, there is more than one major general in front. After the exchange of salutes, with the permission of the major general, everyone sat in the conference room from front to back, according to their ranks. Sitting at the end, I noticed that there was another female warrant officer, who had the impression that she was the senior sister of the 232nd period. The senior sister had short ear-length hair that is common for female students, probably noticing that I was paying attention to her, so she quietly turned her head and smiled gently at me, squeezing out small dimples on her round face and showing small fangs in her mouth.

"I'm Margaret? Grant, Operational Staff Officer of the Western Pacific Theater, please forgive me for the inconvenience of revealing the specific combat units. A female major general with short brown hair, who looked like a stern old nun, probably in her forties, opened the sentence like this.

"Next to me is Rear Admiral Qin Yi, political commissar of the Third Fleet in the Western Pacific Theater."

The woman of Chinese descent next to her, with her hair combed in a neat bun, nodded to us, and she also looked like an old aunt. This task seems to be a big one, and the task that requires the participation of the political commissar has always been synonymous with trouble. But in fact, Major General Grant and Major General Qin Yi, I do know -- they are officers of the same period as my father, although they don't have much contact. If my dad lived to this point, he would probably reach the rank of major general, right? It is said that if he had not pushed destroyers and submarines, he would have been the most promising among his peers.

"What was said at this meeting is classified as classified, and it is not allowed to be recorded, and it is not allowed to be talked about after leaving."

"At 08:00 on May 6, 203, a rocket was launched from the Cold Spring launch site to replace the lost satellite, and the Hawaii observatory did not receive a signal after the Guam observatory finished tracking."

"At 14:20 on May 6, 203, the second rocket launch from Dragon City disappeared after it was still separated from Guam's monitoring, and the Hawaii observatory did not observe the signal."

"At 10:00 on May 7, 203, an expedition to Wake Island was launched to restore the observatory on Wake Island. The attack was launched on 12 May, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. ”

What does the loss of sea power mean for many people? Partition of traffic? Unimpeded passage of the enemy? In fact, the situation is worse than that. Few people have imagined that if humanity lost absolute control of the oceans, it would even lose some of the near-Earth observations it had when launching a spacecraft - after all, the oceans are much larger than the land on Earth. Many of the near-Earth launch observations need to rely on observation ships, which have long been impossible, and observatories built on islands. Originally, there were observation stations on Wake Island, Midway, and the Marshall Islands between Guam and Hawaii. But now even the west of the Rocky Mountains on the American continent has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and a bunch of islands in the Pacific Ocean have long since fallen under the monsters of the deep sea. However, satellites cannot be left undelivered. Let's put it this way, mankind has such an advantage, relying on satellite mapping, to assemble on a large scale in the deep sea -- to form the so-called "deep-sea tides", and to make a predictable counterattack before that. But satellites have a useful life, and if they are not supplemented, the situation will be very different. But now that the rockets are always missing, it's not a good situation.

"To fill the observation gap between Guam and Hawaii, the 'eye surgery' operation is now underway."

"The navy has a modular destroyer, the Kunming, which can be used for equipment replacement. In this operation, we will carry the observation equipment on the Kunming - it is already modular. The entire operation will be escorted by the 1372 and 1554 fleets. After the observation module was carried on board, the whole fleet first went to Guam for final replenishment and rest, and then headed for the target sea area at latitude 15.674 north and longitude 173.680 east. Major General Grant said, pointing to the charts.

Huh, hey? Kunming? It's a bit stressful.

"The 1372 fleet is led by me, under the jurisdiction of the prototype? Saratoga, archetypal? Lexington, archetypal? Northampton, prototype? Johnston, archetype? Hoel, archetype? Hillman. ”

The two full-fledged air fleets are still prototype ships -- is this going to be desperate? Nurse sister Northampton with an aircraft carrier is just right, but send out the three madmen on Samar Island, well, it seems that the disappearance of the rocket is quite a big stimulus to the navy.

"The 1554 fleet is led by the political commissar Qin Yi, and the prototype is under its jurisdiction? North Carolina, prototype? Missouri, archetypal? Helena, archetype? Quincy, archetype? O'Bannon, co-positional? Fletche. ”

If Rear Admiral Grant led the air fleet, then Political Commissar Qin Yi led an out-and-out artillery fleet. As the only ship of the same position, Fletcher estimates that the pressure is high. But she must not be as stressed as me, so many elders, actually escorted me, I just felt restless, sweating like rain.

"Warrant Officer Li Yunyun, while carrying out the modification operation of the Kunming, please master the observation and manipulation technology. Note that because we will be engaged in the deep sea, we can only select naval officers and cadets for auxiliary observation, and you will have two weeks to master the auxiliary observation technology, and the materials will be sent to you later. ”

The senior sister nodded in understanding.

"Once the fleet has reached the target area in a covert manner, it will begin operations. The entire fleet will maneuver within a radius of 30 nautical miles in the target sea area. Once we have the signal to start the operation, three rockets will be launched simultaneously from Houston, Cold Spring, and Dragon City launch bases. We need to monitor targets launched from Cold Spring and Dragon City. ”

This kind of feint is also a bloody battle.

"Once we start sending signals, it means we're exposed to the deep ocean. Although we can maneuver within the range of the sea, the possibility of being attacked by the deep sea is very high. Here I want to emphasize one point. The Kunming is the only heroic and modular missile destroyer in our navy, and it is absolutely necessary to ensure the safety of the Kunming. The safety of the Kunming is a higher priority than the success or failure of this mission! If necessary, the mission can be abandoned, but the Kunming must not be in danger of being sunk. I would like to stress this point. ”

My back was soaked, but my mouth was dry.

"Our mission is really one, to find out what happened to the rocket we launched while ensuring the safety of the Kunming. After monitoring is complete, evacuation is to be carried out at full speed. Any questions now? ”

Someone raised their hand, it was a stressed Fletcher.

"Excuse me, what if we are intercepted by the deep sea when we set out from Guam? If we arrive at the target sea and still tremble with the deep sea, will our observation operations be affected? ”

Major General Grant and Major General Qin Yi looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded to each other.

"The following is top secret, but since you will be fighting with the Kunming, then you will definitely know. The Kunming is not just a modular missile destroyer, but a stealth destroyer. ”

I heard the shipwrecks in the room inhaling in surprise. Hey? The shipwrews here are all my elders, right? I've known each other since I was a child, so didn't they find out that the Kunming was invisible? And stealth isn't a big deal, is it?

"After our experiments, the 052D-class destroyer can go on a long voyage through the deep sea. However, we only have one of the heroic 052D-class destroyers. Now you understand how important the Kunming is, right? In this operation, the Kunming will depart in full armor, and all of our personnel, including other heroic spirits, will take the Kunming to approach the target sea area. In other words, unless we carry out observation operations, the deep sea will theoretically not be able to detect us, and naturally, theoretically, we will not engage until we reach the target sea area. Of course, from the moment we reported the location of arrival, we were exposed. Therefore, before the notification, the aircraft and the ship's equipment will be released. ”

What the? Do you want me to operate in full mode, and I want to carry all the personnel? How much is that......

I can give my life as a warrior. But this kind of order makes me feel deeply humiliated. I closed my eyes, and all I felt was a little numb in my hands and feet, but a stream of blood was repeatedly pounding my brain. Although this is indeed the best mode to complete the task, and obedience is indeed the duty of a warrior, such an order does make me very, extreme, super, and unhappy!

"Okay, any questions? If there is no problem, then disband! We will start checking your equipment, and the materials will be sent to you later, so please study. Warrant Officer Zhang Leshan, please stay for a moment. ”

I felt like my soul had drifted out of my body. Before leaving, the senior sister probably turned pale after reading it. He walked over and patted me on the shoulder.

"Although I don't know what your task is, I believe that you will be able to complete the task, don't be nervous, come on!"

The senior sister smiled and clenched her fists and made a cheering gesture.

However, Senpai didn't know what the full-outfit mode meant for the average battleship girl (teenager), let alone carrying members, just as she didn't know my true identity...... It's not just Navy warrant officer Zhang Leshan.
