SCP-419 continues to probe the underwater movement, and can hear that all the people are still in place, as evidenced by the sound of dense bubbles leaking out, but the bubbles in the respirator are no longer coming out one after another according to the rhythm of breathing, but are constantly leaking out. It can be seen that the air in the respirator has not passed through the diver's lungs, but directly through the mouth and nose. Apparently, all 12 people in the range of the attack had lost the ability to breathe on their own, and the water pressure was pushing air out of their lungs, and these bits were either dead or dying. At the bottom of such a deep sea, a healthy person must have a hard time maintaining his breathing, and any short-term fainting will inevitably lead to a dead end.

It's time to put Lu Qingshan to the bottom of the sea, of course, not to identify the deaths and injuries of the Japanese, which is unnecessary, but to check the progress of the Japanese during the time that 419 left, which is really worrying.

Lu Qingshan has been pressurized in the * tube for a period of time. * The lid of the tube was opened, he controlled the thruster and swam out lightly, and for him, the advantage over the Japanese was mainly in two things, firstly, inside the mask of the internal rebreather, there was a microphone that could communicate with the submarine through the wire inside the signal rope. In fact, he could also communicate wirelessly with the submarine through the transducer, but it was easy to be heard by Japanese ships, so he still chose the wired method. Another advantage is the small thrusters, which help him move at higher speeds in the deep sea without having to walk slowly. However, all this technological equipment could not eliminate the stinging pain caused by the huge water pressure on his body. He also can't stay at the bottom of the ocean for too long (his deep-sea experience and tolerance are not as good as those of Japanese female divers).

Lu Qingshan quickly went down towards Kasugamaru. You can see the bottom of the sea not far away, scattered pillars of light pointing everywhere. After the Japanese divers were knocked down by sonar, the lighting devices fell to the bottom of the sea and shone at various angles. He doesn't shy away. Even if those divers are still alive, the countdown to life has begun.

He slowly controlled the thrusters, spinning 180 degrees in the water, slightly rusty.

Subsequently, I saw 3 large holes in the bottom of the Kasuga Maru side by side. The last time the remote control was used, none of these holes existed. Apparently, the Japanese took advantage of this gap to make a few holes in the bottom of the ship, thus avoiding the difficult exploration of the internal passage blocked by the damaged compartment. Originally, 419 judged that the Japanese could not have gone too far by passing through the intricate passage full of sharp incisions inside the ship and exploring step by step. But they don't know where to get it, and they can cut through the heavy bottom of the ship and the steel plate on the side of the ship.

As he approached one of the large holes, the Japanese salvage ship above him was still pounding on the steel plate on the bottom of the ship. Attempt to alert the following diver to reply. They relied on such a primitive, but effective, method to explore the shipwreck.

At this time, Ayase Nakasa, who was able to be codenamed, was a little anxious, and he hoped that everything would go well so that he could reap the honor.

After the successful attack on the US mainland, the promotion of Dazuo is almost a certainty, and it would be even better if he could make more personal capital. To be able to hide in the rear as the captain of a salvage ship at such a time when the whole world is at war, and his promotion is faster than those who are born and die, which is already enviable. He never dreamed that he would become a hero who turned the situation around. All this, in addition to the support of Ji Chuan, the old man of the Navy Province, also contributed to his own luck. But luck is always so fluctuating, it always appears inadvertently, and then suddenly leaves you. Now Ayase has encountered an unexpected and unsolvable problem.

How could it be that all the divers did not respond? Usually, they operate underwater, and the salvage crews on the ship with good ears can always hear some clues, and their metal diving suits will make a crisp and distant sound when stepping on the wreck, but this time it is strange and has not been heard. The chief listener also had an eardrum injury and was vomiting incessantly, and was said to hear a dull loud noise, but it didn't look like it*

"What the hell is going on?"

Ayase paced around the bridge, seeing that the time for oxygen depletion was approaching. If there is no movement, it will be troublesome, these 12 people are valuable assets, if there is a loss, resulting in the interruption of the salvage operation, they have a major stake. Two days ago, it was I who signed it to guarantee that this collective action that exhausted all the manpower had taken place. I also promised my father-in-law: If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

"Maybe it's just a communication problem? Have they done the job? ”

Without waiting for a response, he ordered the winch to start and began the routine ascent and decompression.

SCP-419 detected that all bubbles at the bottom of the water had stopped, and all of the divers' oxygen cylinders had been released. Then the Japanese winches began to start, and the diving bells with the gates open began to rise slowly, and these things would pause for a period of time every few tens of meters to help gradually decompress, of course, to the dead bodies connected to the diving ropes, of course, it did not mean much. The dead bodies will also rise with the winch because of the diving rope. It is believed that in six or seven hours, the Japanese above will usher in the most terrifying dawn.

Lu Qingshan drove the propeller and carefully entered the cabin. The items were scattered all around, and it was clear that many of them had been removed by the Japanese, and the recent successive explosions of nuclear bombs by the Japanese were obviously related to the large-scale transportation carried out secretly. I just don't know how many things I took away, and I'm afraid this list will never be clear.

Of course, thanks to the Japanese for disemboweling Kasuga Maru, which allowed him to go deeper into the cabin. 419 has been sneaking around, but he doesn't dare to do it. He turned on the searchlight ahead and looked at every place to see if he could find the ship's biggest secret—how to open the way through the passage. According to the information that has been obtained, Kasugamaru has several throwing tubes in the stern of the ship, similar to the * tube of a submarine, and what is thrown out of this may be related to the way of crossing. It could be simple*, or it could be a sophisticated device, and he had to find it, get a sample, and go back. If you figure out the mechanism, you can destroy the Kasuga Pill and eliminate the hidden danger forever.

At the same time, President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed his plans to return to Washington and flew directly from the middle to San Francisco to give one of the greatest speeches of his life.

After landing at the San Jose military airport, his plane drove to the city of Oakland on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay Area, a hilly plateau overlooking the site of the explosion. He chose this place to deliver his speech. The military confirmed that it was a nuclear attack, and the emission hazards of the fission derivatives are still unknown.

In fact, no one knew whether the Japanese would attack or not, at least the Japanese submarines, which were ostentatious about their military prowess, were operating off the west coast, constantly broadcasting the triumphant statement that there was no hope for the American people to resist.

But the president, despite all the dangers, is with the people here and does not hide. Now his deputy, Truman, has flown to Washington to preside over the day-to-day work.

The fire in the port area has not yet been completely extinguished, but some policemen, soldiers and firefighters who were injured in saving the port came here early to meet the first president to arrive after the catastrophe. In addition, students from the University of California, Berkeley, also arrived at the scene. The teachers and students of this school have been advocates of active opposition to the imprisonment of Japanese expatriates in concentration camps after Pearl Harbor, and they are wary of the government's use of all pretexts to deprive the people of their freedom. But today they decided to go to the president. Together, we meet the brutal challenge.

Brooke pushed Roosevelt's wheelchair to the podium, where he appeared in front of the 60,000 or so disgruntled Americans present, with a bare mountain burned by fire and a wreckage harbor below, less than five kilometers from the still-smoky port of San Francisco.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... I'm here to show you the miracle that God has given to Americans, and it's the only thing that can make enemies fear......" The president's eyes filled with tears, waiting for the angry and noisy crowd to quiet down.

"A month ago, a friend of mine from afar told me......" he choked up and adjusted his tone, but his voice was still a little trembling, and what he saw was too tragic...... "He told me that the Force is everywhere, miracles are everywhere."

The president suddenly struggled to get up from his wheelchair.

"God...... There are gods of other faiths, and they are on our side, and this is the source of our spiritual strength that will surely defeat our enemies......"

The crowd boiled. The crowd began to roar and roar, and gradually, the various voices began to converge and become uniform, and the crowd shouted: USA...... USA…… USA

sailors soaked in dirty water, over-radiated, awaiting the judgment of fate; those firefighters who worked tirelessly for 48 hours to save their compatriots from bruises; those intellectuals who, not so long ago, regarded patriotism as a hooligan; , ordinary people who are not well educated and don't quite know what the Force is. Now it's finally really coming together. If Konoe Fumiro saw this scene, he would inevitably be shocked: how stupid he is.

"The armed forces of the United States have never attacked the civilians of Japan, but our enemies have lost the bottom line of humanity, and they do not dare to fight on the battlefield, but inflict cruel methods on civilians and prisoners of war......"

The president continued to stand up straight and deliver his speech. Of course, he knew very well that the US Army Aviation had been studying the new long-range bombers that were about to enter service, and the plan of using airfields in the Pacific Ocean or China to bomb large cities on the Japanese mainland. In fact, killing Axis civilians has always been a research project, but it is not yet possible to find an airfield to reach the Japanese mainland, but now is an opportunity to spark popular anger.

"The Japanese submarines constantly interfered with our broadcasts off our shores, preaching their peace plan, and they demanded that we withdraw from Australia, abandon the Pacific, and abandon our ally in Asia, General Chu Tingchang...... There is also Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. They want to use their tyrannical, anti-human weapons to pressure us to give up the freedom we are so proud of. They feel that we will hold back because of fear. I can't deny the horror in my heart when I hear about the deaths of tens of thousands of men, women and children; I must tell the guard unequivocally: we will repay the fears he and his filthy empire have imposed on us......"
