Chapter 235: Aircraft Carrier Battle Group
It wasn't until Wu Yuanjia and Huang Huali went out that Liu Hui asked, "Victory, such a big event happened in the Middle East, did you receive any news from the Eye of the Starry Sky before?" ”
"Boss, I'm sorry, the previous direction of intelligence infiltration in our Starry Sky Eye did not develop into the US military, so we have very few sources of US military intelligence. We had not received any useful information prior to this incident. Victory said ashamedly. This sudden attack by the US military brought a huge threat to the Star Group, which made the person in charge of intelligence gathering blame himself for the victory.
Liu Hui sighed and said: "Victory, you don't have to say I'm sorry, there is also my responsibility here, it is I who think of the US military too self-disciplined and kind, so I did not infiltrate them." But I forgot that their actions were also directed by the United States, and that what they did had to be in the interests of their own country. Therefore, when the US military receives orders from their superiors, they will also do all kinds of crazy things. ”
"Boss, immediately after today's incident, I mobilized our high-level spies lurking in the United States, and they provided me with some useful information. ”
Liu Hui hurriedly asked, "What kind of information is it?" ”
"According to the information they received, the United States has a disagreement with Huaxia on the listing of our company's "desalination company", so they are ready to take a direct action to snatch our desalination technology in the Persian Gulf, so as to monopolize the world's desalination market alone." Their original plan was to capture our desalination vessels, get our technology, and create a fait accompli by thunderball. But what they didn't expect was that our desalination ship was not a soft persimmon, not only repelling their all-round attack, frustrating their idea of a quick victory, but also capturing two of their soldiers. Therefore, the United States [***] side is furious, and they have decided to rely on their own strong force to resolve this conflict with us, not only to take away our technology, to save their soldiers, but also to save their face. ”
Liu Hui sneered: "If you can't steal it, you can rob it, this kind of behavior should be in line with their identity as the most powerful armed group in the world." Their films constantly advertise how kind their team is and how they fight for the well-being of the people of the world, which is really nonsense. Now they tear off their pretenses and pull down their faces to do things, although they are hateful, but they are not so disgusting. ”
"Boss, our intelligence shows that the U.S. military has urgently mobilized the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group in the Arabian Sea, which is heading for the Persian Gulf region, preparing to capture our desalination ships directly. The USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group is very strong, how should we respond to their attack? Desheng asked, the powerful aircraft carrier battle group of the U.S. military had already departed, which made Desheng very worried about the situation that the Star Group was facing now.
Liu Hui suddenly smiled and said: "Since ancient times, soldiers have come to block, and water has come to cover the earth. Since they want to be tough on us, then we will naturally accompany us to the end. They're going to grab our stuff now, we don't want them to rob us, and even if we regress, they're going to rob us, so the only way we have to fight back is to fight back. ”
Victorious said worriedly: "But with only those weapons that we have deployed on the desalination ship in the Persian Gulf, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with the American troops with rich combat experience!" ”
"In fact, the U.S. military is not as strong as it was in the movies, which can be seen from the fact that we only used electromagnetic cannons to repel their first attack. So don't worry, I naturally have a way to deal with them. By the way, this time the United States has made such a big thing, didn't they have any abnormal situation beforehand? Liu Hui asked:
Victory didn't know why Liu Hui suddenly diverted the topic, but he still replied truthfully: "Boss, our Starry Sky Eye will sort out the information we get every day and give you a look, you should know everything that happens in the world, right?" ”
Liu Hui said: "I saw your information, but it is not the information I need. What I want to ask is the intelligence on the American side, that is, is there something strange happening in the United States, but it makes sense? We may be able to find some clues from this that the United States attacked us. ”
Desheng thought for a moment and said: "Everything is normal on the American side, if there is anything strange, it is that Wei Chao has made some strange remarks and actions in the United States recently. ”
Liu Hui asked curiously: "What strange remarks and actions did Wei Chao make in the United States?" ”
Victorious said: "Since Wei Chao and Miss Anqi returned to the United States separately, I don't know what crazy he had, and he actually openly sang about the American economy. He believes that the U.S. economy will definitely experience a sharp decline after two bubble economic shocks. However, his remarks were ridiculed by the mainstream media and economists in the United States. Everyone thinks that Wei Chao has gone crazy, and the United States has the most powerful military power in the world, so there will be no sharp economic decline at all. Even if there is really a problem in the US economy and there is a sharp decline, the United States will certainly pass on their losses to other countries and regions such as China, the European Union, and so on. Even if it wants to die, other countries and regions will die first, and the United States will not have anything to do until other countries and regions die, so the US economy is the safest in the world, and Wei Chao is a very stupid act to sing about the US economy. And because of the last Indian Ocean nuclear explosion, Wei Chao made a huge mistake in the financial market, which caused him heavy losses, so his financial trick of shorting the US economy this time did not get many people's pursuit and response, and even the sons and ladies of several big families in Hong Kong who had followed him around did not act with him. ”
Liu Hui said with a smile: "It seems that just one investment failure has broken the undefeated halo on Wei Chao's head, and no one believes him anymore." However, with my understanding of Wei Chao, he should not do meaningless things, so I am still very optimistic about him, I think he should have seen some problems faced by the American political axe, and this may be an opportunity for us to solve this crisis. ”
Victorious asked in surprise: "Is the boss not optimistic about the US economy and ready to take action in the financial market?" ”
Liu Hui shook his head and said: "The main problem we are facing now is the military oppression of us by the US military, and if this problem is not solved for a day, we will not be able to counterattack in other aspects for a day." Victory, I have a matter here that you need to deal with immediately. ”
Victorious lifted his spirits and said, "Boss, please command, I will definitely handle this matter properly." ”
Liu Hui said: "I have just informed our supersubmarine "Starry Sky 2" that it will leave for the Persian Gulf in three hours, and you will go with that supersubmarine at that time, and help me do one thing when you arrive in the Persian Gulf." ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ no one knew what Liu Hui and Desheng said in that room, and Desheng went to make preparations after talking to Liu Hui.
Two hours later, Liu Hui returned to the basement of the Star Group office building on time, and then called Zege. Zege soon appeared, trading Liu Hui with a hundred copies of the special drug that can make people tell the truth, Zege set the price of this special drug at one kilogram of drugs for every ten copies of special drugs, that is, the price of the previous AIDS drug, Zege used this hundred copies of special drugs in exchange for ten kilograms of drugs from Liu Hui.
Liu Hui handed over ten of the special drugs to Desheng, and after packing up, Desheng took a few of his right-hand men and boarded the "Starry Sky City" on a speedboat. They came to the sealed dock and boarded the super submarine "Star No. 2", which had been prepared for a long time, and then this huge 50,000-ton deep-sea submarine was officially launched, dived into the deep sea, and sneaked at full speed in the direction of the Persian Gulf in the Middle East.
Liu Hui did not take the initiative to call Saudi King Abdullah, but after the victorious party set off, Abdullah's phone called again, and this time Liu Hui finally spoke to Abdullah.
"Mr. Liu Hui, why did your desalination ship provoke the U.S. military? And also took their soldiers prisoner? Abdullah asked as soon as he opened his mouth, he was very anxious after learning that the desalination ship had an accident, but he had not been able to contact Liu Hui.
Liu Hui said: "Dear Your Majesty, I want to correct one point, our Star Group has not provoked the US military. It was the US military stationed in your country who was angry with our desalination technology and wanted to forcibly snatch our technology and came to attack our desalination ships, so we clashed with them. Strictly speaking, they are aggressors, and we are fighting back in self-defense. ”
Abdullah said with some difficulty: "But you really shouldn't have a conflict with those American troops!" I heard that you not only captured two of their American soldiers, but also shot down several of their planes, but fortunately there were no casualties. Why don't you hand over those two U.S. soldiers to us immediately, and let us Saudi Arabia be peacemakers and help you resolve this matter with the U.S. military? ”
Liu Hui began to sneer, and he said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, in view of your failure to protect our Star Group's desalination ships in the Persian Gulf and violating the agreement signed between us, we have decided to take back the desalination ships in the Persian Gulf and stop supplying fresh water to you, and the cooperation between us will be canceled, and you must also compensate us for all our losses." ”
Liu Hui has reason to be angry, after his desalination ship was attacked in the Persian Gulf, the Saudi state did not find a way to protect the desalination ship, and wanted Liu Hui to hand over the two American prisoners, and let him be a peacemaker in the middle, so that both sides would not be offended, and at the same time get benefits from both sides. But how could Liu Hui give Abdullah this opportunity to be left and right? He wants Saudi Arabia to make a choice between the US military and a large supply of fresh water, and Saudi Arabia will either continue to help the US military or choose fresh water, and it is impossible to have both.
Star Group has been supplying fresh water to Saudi Arabia for two months, especially since this month, the daily supply of fresh water has reached a terrifying 20 million tons, Saudi Arabia has deeply felt the benefits of cheap fresh water, and the long-suppressed enthusiasm of Saudi citizens for water has been completely exploded. They have even launched some large-scale water conservancy projects in China, hoping to completely reverse the arid natural environment in Saudi Arabia and turn it into excellent land suitable for farming, anyway, the Star Group can provide them with unlimited fresh water. In this way, once the oil in their country is exhausted, their citizens will have a way to live.
The fresh water supply of Star Group is related to the future development of Saudi Arabia, and no one in the world has the ability to provide so much fresh water to Saudi Arabia except for Star Group. Therefore, Liu Hui is not afraid that Abdullah will jump out of his palm, and he will not allow Abdullah to be left and right between the Star Group and the US military.
Abdullah didn't expect Liu Hui to directly threaten to give up the supply of water to Saudi Arabia, and he forced a smile: "Mr. Liu Hui, there is something to discuss, aren't we friends?" ”
Liu Hui sneered: "We are naturally friends, but Saudi Arabia and Star Group are not friends. If you Saudi Arabia can't protect the safety of our desalination ships, we can only withdraw the desalination ships to Hong Kong, which is also a helpless thing! Anyway, so many industries in our Star Group can live well without desalination. By the way, I also want to remind you that your body must be re-examined by the Star Group after three months, otherwise the previous treatment effect will be in vain. ”
Liu Hui unceremoniously threatened Abdullah, Abdullah's fresh water supply was still in Liu Hui's hands, and Liu Hui had injected Abdullah with a sustained-release agent at the same time when he injected Abdullah with rejuvenation drugs, so that Abdullah's rejuvenation effect could only be maintained for half a year, and if he didn't go to the Star Group for a re-examination after half a year, his body would soon age and return to its original state. Therefore, with these two killer features, Liu Hui is sure that Saudi Arabia will be on his side.
Abdullah was suddenly awakened by Liu Hui, and he knew that the Star Group didn't care about its domestic freshwater market at all, and they could withdraw at any time and give up the Saudi market, anyway, their freshwater production plant was a ship, and it was very convenient to leave. But if the future development of our country is not supported by a large amount of cheap fresh water, it will be very miserable. What's more, I have to go to the Star Group for a physical review after three months, so that I can truly rejuvenate. He had now tasted the benefits of his long-lost physical health, and naturally he didn't want to lose this feeling of health again. Therefore, whether it is public or private, Abdullah is inseparable from the support of Star Group.
Abdullah figured out the stakes, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu Hui, don't worry, we will definitely ensure the safety of your desalination ship." But wait a few days, and I will convene a national conference at once, at which I will convey your intention to some of our tribal chiefs. When the time comes, we will fully support you in the Persian Gulf and at the same time suppress the space for the US military to operate, do you think it is okay? ”
Liu Hui said: "Impossible, if you can't immediately protect our security and restrict the movement of the US military in the Persian Gulf, our desalination ships will choose to leave immediately." He didn't want Abdullah to be deliberately delayed, so he asked him to make a decision right away.
Abdullah thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you give me a day, and within this day, I will guarantee the safety of your desalination ship and the people on board, how about it?" ”
Liu Hui thought for a while, knowing that he couldn't force Saudi Arabia too hard, otherwise it would be counterproductive, and he had arrangements in the Persian Gulf, so he said: "Okay, I'll give you twenty-four hours, if you still can't guarantee our safety by then, we will officially leave the Persian Gulf and terminate our cooperation with you." ”
Abdullah smiled bitterly: "Okay, we will have a meeting to discuss this issue immediately, and I will give you an accurate answer as soon as possible." ”
Hanging up the call with Abdullah, Liu Hui secretly calculated in his heart. The biggest ally of the US military in the Middle East is Saudi Arabia, and the interdependence between the two sides is very high, and no one can do without the other. Saudi Arabia cannot do without the security protection provided by the United States, and the United States cannot do without Saudi oil. However, that was the previous situation, since Saddam Hussein in Iraq was overthrown and hanged by the US military, Saudi Arabia's national security is not as critical as before, although they still have the military threat of Iran, but Iran is now too busy to take care of itself, and has no ability to launch a foreign war, so Saudi Arabia's domestic dependence on the US military is not as high as before. However, as the U.S. economy continues to grow, domestic demand for oil has risen further, and the result is that the U.S. is now increasingly inseparable from Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Saudi Arabia now has the best opportunity to get rid of the military threat of the US military, and if Saudi Arabia can stand on the side of the Star Group this time, then Liu Hui will have enough confidence to deal with the US military attack crisis.
Several other countries in the Middle East that are seriously short of water, such as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and other major oil exporting countries have begun to contact the Star Group, hoping that their countries can obtain a large amount of fresh water supply from the Star Group. A fragile balance can be formed between them.
Liu Hui now finally understands that fresh water in the Middle East is more precious than oil, and that he only controls the supply of fresh water, which is tantamount to indirectly stucking the neck of the United States. This is also the reason why the United States will risk the danger of the world to snatch its own desalination technology, it is precisely because they want to get this desalination weapon to counter these serious water shortage oil countries in the Middle East, so that these oil exporting countries can not threaten their national security in terms of oil production capacity.
However, Liu Hui took into account the strength of the US military, and he was also fully prepared. The third super submarine is being built in his submarine factory, and the tonnage of this super submarine is 100,000 tons, and now the main project of the submarine has been completed, and the equipment and weapons systems inside are being installed, so it cannot be sent out to fight the US military. However, the "Star One" super submarine has been sent to the direction of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, and the "Star No. 2" is heading straight for the Persian Gulf. The powerful electromagnetic cannon weapons installed on them and the terrifying depth of 10,000 meters can ensure that they are invincible in the sea, but at the same time, they can bring a huge threat to the US warships.
However, these two super submarines are just one of Liu Hui's means, and his real reliance is still on the Xiao Hei with a length of 230 meters, Xiao Hei has already set off for the Persian Gulf, so the US Navy will definitely not be able to take advantage of it in the Persian Gulf. The reason why he still wants Saudi Arabia to come forward to deal with the threat of the US military is that he doesn't want all the cards in his hand to be seen through. At the same time, he can also use this crisis to examine Saudi Arabia's attitude and see if it can gain a real national ally.
After Liu Hui had done a good job of defending the Persian Gulf and the Pacific Ocean, he activated the electromagnetic cannon and laser weapon system installed on the Star Group and the "Star City" just in case, and he wanted to ensure that no clowns would run out to make trouble at this critical moment.
Then Liu Hui made another call, and he said on the phone: "The third ......"
Not to mention ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Liu Hui racking his brains at the Star Group headquarters to find a way to deal with the threat of the US military, Xiao Hei had already followed his orders and galloped towards the Persian Gulf.
Starting from the Pacific Ocean, it crosses Mindanao in the Philippines, enters the Sulawesi Sea in Indonesia, then enters the Java Sea, crosses Jakarta, enters the Indian Ocean, and swims towards the Arabian Sea.
Xiao Hei was speeding along the way, because there was no drag from Liu Hui, so it dived deep into the bottom of the sea and advanced under the deep sea, so no one and equipment discovered its existence.
After more than six hours of rapid swimming, Xiao Hei finally reached the Arabian Sea. By this time, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening local time. Blackie continued towards the Strait of Hormuz, through which it prepared to enter the Persian Gulf, only to discover the presence of a large group of warships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Liu Hui, who was thousands of kilometers away, immediately received a message from Xiao Hei, and he ordered Xiao Hei to stop advancing and begin to carefully observe the situation of this large group of warships.
Xiao Hei immediately unleashed his sensing ability, and all the movements within a radius of three kilometers could not be concealed from his perception. As its perception continued to extend outward, Xiao Hei suddenly became aware of the surrounding situation. And Liu Hui also knew about the situation of this large warship group through Xiao Hei.
In Xiao Hei's perception, it found that there was a large warship on the sea, Liu Hui saw the appearance of the large warship from Xiao Hei's perception, and immediately knew that it was the US aircraft carrier.
Liu Hui had heard about the distribution and movement of US aircraft carriers in the Gulf region before, and had also studied US aircraft carriers, so as soon as he saw the image of the aircraft carrier that Xiao Hei had sensed, he immediately knew that the aircraft carrier was the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier, and the large warships that followed the "Eisenhower" were the "Houstville" (CG66) missile cruiser, the "Carney" (DDG64), the "Farragut" (DDG99), and the "McFaul" DDG74) missile destroyer. There are also two smaller frigates, because they are not very famous, and Liu Hui does not know their names, and it seems that the main warships of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group have all arrived. At the same time, the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group formation was followed by their supply tanker "Big? The "Howth" and the ammunition ship "Sakagarvey", and two Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines are protecting the safety of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier group under the surface.
Liu Hui saw clearly the huge scale of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier formation, and immediately gasped, not to mention the hundreds of various combat planes on the aircraft carrier battle group, the various missiles carried on these warships alone were very terrifying. If this powerful fighting machine reaches the Persian Gulf, then his four desalination ships will not be their opponents at all, and they will be captured without any suspense. However, fortunately, Xiao Hei arrived in the Persian Gulf in time, and as long as Xiao Hei was here, the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group would not be able to make any waves.
So under the command of Liu Hui, Xiao Hei quietly swam to the bottom of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier. After the second evolution, Xiao Hei's swimming movements became lighter and lighter, and the sound he made became smaller and smaller, as long as he didn't touch the dragging sonar in the water, he wouldn't be detected by the sonar at all. Xiao Hei was careful along the way, avoided a few dragged sonars, and quietly came to the bottom of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier, without alarming any American soldiers and instruments.
Liu Hui expanded Xiao Hei's perception ability to the limit, and then penetrated the hull above, and he immediately heard various sounds from the cabin above, which was a wonderful use of Xiao Hei's sensing ability that Liu Hui had discovered during this time.
Blackie quickly sensed the content of the sounds, but most of them were the conversations of sailors and the sounds of the hull engines. It was slowly identified and screened, and finally Liu Hui discovered the commander of the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group, Rear Admiral Filley? Davidson's voice, he hurriedly calmed down and listened carefully.
I heard someone say, "General Davidson, we have entered the strait of Hormuz, and we are now only five hundred kilometers from the port of Daman, and it will only take ten hours to reach our destination." ”
"Well, that's very good, Pete, you stay here to command, I'm going to go back and rest first, and I'm ready to teach the small company that dares to fire at our American army tomorrow, they're too arrogant." General Davidson laughed.
"But, General Davidson, I don't quite understand. I know about this Star Group, my daughter and I were cured of our myopia by using their company's products, and we both love to eat the food in their gourmet restaurant, their products have brought us a lot of fun and changed our lives. But why would such a great company come to attack our US military? Pete asked, puzzled.
General Davidson said: "Dear Pete, we are soldiers, we just need to carry out the orders from above, and what you said is not something we should consider. ”
Pete suddenly said: "General Davidson, but I just got an inside information, they said that it was because we wanted to snatch the desalination technology of the Star Group, so the talents of the Star Group opened fire on us, is this true?" ”
General Davidson paused and said, "Dear Pete, I don't care what happened there, but the Star Group has succeeded in angering us. All we have to do is take them prisoner, and that's our duty as soldiers. ”
Pete sighed and said, "To be honest, I really don't want to fire at the Star Group, you know, I used to like him very much, and I even thought about sending my daughter to work in that company." By the way, General Davidson, why didn't our army forces stationed in the Middle East mobilize us to go? ”
General Davidson was silent for a moment and said, "Dear Pete, what I am saying now is top secret news, I hope you can keep it secret, can you do it?" ”
Pete's tone immediately became serious, and he said, "I swear in the name of God that I will keep it a secret. ”
General Davidson then said: "In fact, the reason why the above asked our aircraft carrier battle group to set off for the Persian Gulf and capture those desalination ships is because Saudi Arabia has united the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait several major oil-exporting countries, and they have protested to us together against our use of the bases set up in their own country to attack the desalination ships of the Star Group, and they have now closed the route of our army's advance to the Persian Gulf." Therefore, the above can only urgently mobilize us into the Persian Gulf and capture those few desalination ships from the sea. And in the previous conflict, we had two soldiers captured by them, so we had to rush to Daman Port quickly, as long as we completed this task and created a fait accompli, then our country has diplomatic room for maneuver. So we have to be quick this time, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”
Pete didn't expect there to be such an inside story inside, he sighed: "I hope what we do today can really help our country!" ”
When Liu Hui heard this, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He is pleased that Saudi Arabia has finally united with the Gulf countries to put pressure on the United States, and they have chosen to stand on their side. He was shocked that the US political axe had already made up its mind to use force to obtain desalination technology.
However, Liu Hui immediately reacted, since the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group on the sea was going to capture its own desalination ship, then it was his enemy, and there was no need for him to be polite with them, and he decided to destroy the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group.
So Xiao Hei's tail bent and flicked, and its body suddenly shot out like an arrow, and its target was the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier on the sea.
(To be continued)
