Chapter 492: The Coming Crisis 2

The Emerson is a distant-water fishing vessel of several hundred tons, and it has been seven years since it was built and launched.

In the intervening seven years, the Emerson has been tasked with seafood from high-end restaurants in Sydney and elsewhere, catching rare fish for high-end restaurants in many parts of the South Pacific.

However, with the large-scale fishing in recent years, many fish that used to be easy to catch are now not easy to catch, and Captain Vic has no choice but to sail his fishing boat into the depths of the South Pacific, hoping to catch more fish from this remote area that meets the requirements of those restaurants.

It's been three days since the voyage, but the results weren't as rosy as Vic had expected, and it could be said that they were too far from his intended goal to be satisfactory.

Could it be that this time it will only be fruitless?

Furrowing his brow deeply, Vic let out a puff of smoke and sighed.

"Wait, we don't have this island on our charts, right?"

The first mate stared at the image scanned by the sonar on the main screen, slightly taken aback.

"Island?"

Vic, who had just walked into the room, asked.

"Yes, there seems to be an island up ahead......"

Thirty minutes earlier, a rainstorm had struck the skyline, making the entire sea almost covered in dark clouds, and the darkness was accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds.

On the route back, I didn't say that there was an island here!

"Hey, why is that island speeding up? Not good, Captain, it's only 5 miles away...... 4 miles up...... Oh my God, that's a lot of speed! ”

The two looked at each other. A bad premonition suddenly appeared in my heart, how could there be a moving island in this world? Isn't it an island, but a large ship or warship?

Looking through the glass, the hazy sky made the otherwise okay morning a terrible one, and the visibility was good for a maximum of 100 meters, and it was difficult to see clearly from any distance.

"Quick. Immediately turn the rudder to the right thirty degrees! ”

No matter what he approached quickly, Vic didn't want to sit still and wait for the other party to arrive, but subconsciously prepared to hide from the past.

The decision was right, but before the rudder could be turned to the right, the hull suddenly shook, and it tilted sharply to the left, and the keel creaked and rattled the crew.

"That's, that'...... What's that? ”

The first mate swore he had never seen such a creature. At the edge of the ship's side, fifty or sixty meters above the water, you can't see the end when you look up. And the limb parts close to his eyes, as if they were a kind of soft limbs, the surface is pitted and rough, and densely covered with a grimace-like pattern, no matter how you look at it, it is extremely terrifying.

It seems that in the sea below the hull, a thicker silhouette of the body can be faintly seen...... And that's not all of its body?

Trembling, so frightened that the body trembled and didn't notice. The spirits of all the crew members were frightened by the sudden appearance of the underwater monster, and they were on the verge of collapse.

"Bang!"

How could there be an accident. A mere fishing boat, in front of the MUTO-A type of more than 150 meters, was like a children's toy, and it could not even use its own special mass bullet attack, and its body smashed down directly, and the entire fishing boat was cut off at the waist. Debris and debris splattered everywhere, and it was terrible.

In such a crisis, where is there room for ordinary people to resist, several unfortunate crew members were involved in the hull fragments on the spot, and the lucky captain and first mate. It only lasted for about ten more seconds, and then it was also involved in the whirlpool formed by the sinking of the ship's hull and turned into bait for fish.

If Captain Vic and the first mate had survived a little longer, they would have been horrified to find that this monster they had never seen before was not only this one, but behind this monster was an unimaginably large team that could not be seen.

……

……

Eighteen hours after leaving Sydney, Third Fleet Commander Sigmund Freud calculated that it was time to encounter Muto.

Sure enough, the intelligence transmitted back by the early warning aircraft in the air showed that the front-line MUTO was only two and a half hours away from the fleet, and when the time came, they would meet directly face-to-face in MUTO.

After seeing the terrifying attack ability of the Muto-A, Freud would naturally not be stupid enough to get close to it, otherwise no matter how powerful the Third Fleet was, it would not be able to give full play to its advantages, and it would definitely be drowned under the boundless number of the opponent.

Don't underestimate those MUTOs, even if it is an aircraft carrier of amazing size, a MUTO-A type is enough to make people feel undead, not to mention that there are a lot of MUTO-A types, just a few at random, and it is not a problem to sink the aircraft carrier directly.

"Sir, all combat systems are normal, and they can enter combat mode at any time."

"Be on guard and stop moving."

When the Third Fleet had all reduced its speed to a halt, Freud did not continue to give orders, but stood quietly in the bridge room, gazing at the dim skyline.

"Didi......"

"Sir."

The ensign with headphones looked back at Floyd, "It's a code from the Pentagon." ”

"Check it now!"

"Yes."

"Sir, the password is correct!"

The high, medium, and low radio communication systems received the same command, and the cipher was checked correctly, and Freud no longer hesitated and gave the final order: "Attack!" ”

After hearing the command, the two controllers standing in the back opened the fingerprint and password verification box, took out the key from it, walked over and inserted it into the keyhole on the console, and twisted it ninety degrees together.

"Whoa!"

A Tomahawk (BGM-109A) broke through the sea from the submarine's vertical launcher, flew up to a height of 100 meters, turned into an arc and turned into a straight direction, and flew away at a rapid speed.

With a range of 1,609 kilometers and a speed of 885 kilometers per hour, it only takes about ten minutes to fly over the more than 150 kilometers.

Looking at the missiles that rose into the dim sky like a flying dragon, Floyd's hands were clenched tightly together.

According to the more information obtained by the drone, the US military top brass is divided into two factions, one advocates continuing to carry out the original plan of operations, and the other opposes fighting according to the original plan, but advocates the immediate launch of nuclear bombs to nip the crisis in the bud.

The two factions argued for more than ten hours, and after seeing more and more Muto, which can be called rambling, everyone felt that they were an idiot, and at this time, without using nuclear weapons, they could no longer threaten the terrible number of Muto.

No matter how many conventional weapons there are, can they destroy so many mutos?

Let's not talk about whether the Third Fleet has so many missiles, even if it can carry unlimited ammunition and all the ** factories are activated, don't want to keep up with the number of muto climbing.

In view of this, President Barack immediately made a decision, immediately informed China and Russia, held a short high-level meeting, and decided to use nuclear weapons to eliminate this "vanguard" of MUTO.

Of course, try it in advance, this nuclear warhead has a yield of only 100,000 tons, and it is only used as a tactical nuclear weapon to see how lethal it will be against MUTO.

At this time, I don't care about whether it will pollute the sea area, and if I wait until MUTO lands in a large area, then I will think of using nuclear weapons, but I am afraid that there will be too many problems to face.

For example, if MUTO lands in New Zealand, needless to say, the New Zealand government will certainly not have the ability to resist the terrible number of MUTO, if the US military wants to use nuclear weapons at this time, will the New Zealand government be willing?

Hesitation, consideration, hesitation, even after the New Zealand government considers and agrees, I am afraid that MUTO has swept the entire territory.

Therefore, the most important way is to do our best to keep the MUTO in the South Pacific Ocean and prevent them from approaching the mainland.

Muto's terrifying reconnaissance and strike capabilities have forced strategic bombers to be unable to approach, and ordinary fighters dare not approach, and the only way to effectively and comprehensively and quickly kill them at this moment is a powerful nuclear weapon.

"Bang!"

The extremely fast Tomahawk missile pierced through the air, and under the guidance of the GPS global positioning system, it flew along a predetermined air trajectory for nearly 10 minutes, and more than a dozen of them were exposed to the sea surface for dozens of meters. (To be continued......)
