Mediterranean, off the coast of Algiers. 【 I want: super fast update 】

In the golden sun of the early morning, a small biplane on the sea passed by quickly, and in the cabin, Shuangxi gently flipped the control stick, and the light osprey crossed a beautiful arc in the air like cotton wool rolled up by the wind, and at that moment his body formed a parallel to the sea, as if he had become a real osprey, looking for a target in the water.

From the decorated airship observer who discovered the traces of the Royal Far East Fleet a few years ago, to now flying the biplane osprey in the blue sky, he has come a long way, and it is also the road of a farmer who has become a pilot.

On the snow sculpture in the distance, the red flag flashed a few times, allowing him to end his free flight, quickly flatten the fuselage and began to descend slowly.

The osprey descended little by little, and the moist air flew along the wings under the drive of the propeller, and the closer to the sea, the more the mist became more and more diffuse, and the fog brought up by the propeller even wet the windbreakers, and when the two large pontoons under the fuselage slammed into the sea, he loosened. Gas.

No matter when and where, take-off and landing are dangerous, this is not what he observed, but the experience summed up by today's growing domestic flights, and it is a lesson that has been paid hundreds of lives in exchange.

When piloting the Osprey slowly approaching the Snow Eagle, the boom on the left side of the deck also rotated rapidly, and the cat hook and an air crew soldier slowly put it on the wing above the Osprey.

When the plane entered the cargo hold, Minin, who had been standing on the deck watching, breathed a sigh of relief.

A few years ago, Sibilu Island, which shocked the world, sent the Royal Navy of China into the world's top navy, and also made countries begin to focus on the study of all kinds of weapons and equipment that appeared in that naval battle, especially the aircraft that appeared for the first time, so that Europe immediately turned from airship fever to aircraft fever, including Britain, France and Germany and other countries began to load their own seaplanes on warships, coupled with the rising private flight boom, so the picture of the osprey hovering is not abrupt.

But even so, Minin still didn't dare to let the Osprey fly for too long, after all, compared with China, "there is still a big gap between the ships and planes of various countries" and it cannot be kept in the air for a long time, so if it stays for a long time, it will definitely arouse suspicion, not to mention that the Snow Eagle is not an ordinary cargo ship.

Jing is the second of the Golden Eagle class electric reconnaissance ships, in addition to the appearance of still like an ordinary freighter, its interior has been quietly upgraded, the key is that for the first time a passive reception system is installed, can accept any radio signals that appear nearby. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

The value of this system is very great, because as countries have increased their investment in radio, coupled with the first generation of radio stations in China, a large number of radio stations have also been produced. "Radio signals in Europe are getting very busy at the moment.

There are both encrypted signals from various parties and open signals from the private sector, so the Snow Sculpture has another task, which is to collect and monitor the radio communication signals between countries and bring them back to China for analysis.

Encrypted signals are extremely difficult to decipher, so no one knows how much of the messy information they send back home can be analyzed, but through the analysis of non-encrypted civilian signals, a lot of useful information can still be obtained.

For example, not long ago they intercepted a line of saltpeter from France in the Atlantic, "Russia needs to buy 20,000 tons of saltpeter." At the same time, because this news contains negotiated price information, the ambassador to France immediately contacted Russia through the channel and got this large order at a low price.

In addition to these, in the previous competition for the purchase of Chilean battleships, it was also the Golden Eagle that intercepted the negotiated offer sent by the representative of the British Armstrong shipyard to the United States via cable telegram off the coast of Cuba, and then transmitted from the United States to Britain by radio, so that the armament department took the initiative to give up a discount of 100,000 British "to rob the big business of these two battleships."

This set of high-power passive monitoring equipment is like plugging in a pair of tailwind ears for the Snow Sculpture, and you can hear all kinds of useful or useless things every day.

In addition to listening and reconnaissance, the Snow Sculpture is also responsible for quickly relaying news from here to the country, and because of the lack of bases in Europe and the Atlantic, it is impossible to build a fixed high-power transmitter, so if you want to transmit what is happening here in time, you need a mobile relay station like the Snow Sculpture.

However, it is the confidential cutting-edge technology on it that makes all four Golden Eagle-class electric reconnaissance ships very sensitive, not only set up multiple sea valves for safety, but even install internal **, which can quickly blow up the core of the entire ship into pieces if necessary!

This measure also forced the Admiralty to change its structure slightly, and on other warships, "the captain with the rank of captain must be the captain, but here, Minin, the commander of the Naval Intelligence Department, is the real master."

Stepping into the wide No. 2 electric cabin, rows of neat radio stations are constantly ticking, more than 20 electrical officers with Ying's big ear veins, with their ears to monitor the whole world, this is the passive monitoring of the terminal, next to these terminals, each connected to a pendulum recorder, can automatically convert the signal into wave symbols, according to these specific symbols, the Ministry of Intelligence can distinguish which band the signal is used, and analyze the extent to which European radio has developed.

This is a world that was never imagined ten years ago, and if outsiders come here, they will definitely think that they have come to the future, sophisticated third-generation frequency-hopping radios, high-power transponder stations with automatic encryption, high-power full-spectrum interference transmitters, needle analyzer recorders, passive monitoring stations, and fax machines that can send real-time photos that have just been researched.

Even in an emergency, Minin could communicate directly with His Majesty the Emperor by radio, but since that would most likely be overheard by radio amateurs and other countries in Europe, this could only be used in an emergency.

And everyone here knows that if Minin picks up the red telephone, it means that he has entered the war or that the Snow Sculpture is about to sink!

Outside, one could feel the progress of technology through a battleship larger than the other, but here, only those ears that pricked up understood how powerful the empire was.

In order to make the most of these high-precision and cutting-edge equipment, everyone here is a university graduate, has undergone at least three years of training, needs to master at least three full-text ~ Apo foreign Chinese languages, and also needs to obtain a special operation certificate.

So even Minin sometimes felt that "he had mastered a special army with a high intellectual culture."

Looking at a monitor wearing a headset," he smiled, and was about to go to the bridge to discuss the next route with the captain, and just as he was about to turn around, a large hand on the 03 monitor station suddenly raised, and then slowly clenched into a fist under the gaze of everyone.

It was a special gesture that meant that the listener had received a valuable message and had to be as quiet as possible in the cabin, and it was this action that made Minin stop and smile on his lips.

In fact, he likes this kind of work very much, "It's like going back to the days when I was a child, whenever someone got married, I hid and listened to the corner, there is a strange feeling that I can't describe, anyway, every time I see this gesture, everyone seems to become very excited, like a hound that sees its prey." The cabin fell silent for a moment, and all eyes were on the listener who was recording, only to see him flying and writing on sticky notes, converting the signals heard one by one into various symbols.

This is the benefit of being a technology leader, because China is the country that invented radio and is currently the largest and only exporter in the world, so a set of radio usage procedures and manuals have been specially developed.

Since more than 70% of the world's radio stations are currently sold in China, this set of rules and manuals quickly became the only international radio standard, and patents have also been registered, so it is very easy to listen to unencrypted messages and translate them. As the seconds passed, Minin didn't even realize that he had walked not far behind the monitor, and when he approached, the listener had quickly taken off his headphones and handed the note to the special translator.

A minute later, the translation came out, the message.

"There is a riot in Morocco, a German gunboat has arrived, and there is a confrontation with the French navy, there is a danger of war, please send a ship to pick us up and leave!"

Signed: Garth.

Who is Garth? Is it a businessman or an expatriate from a certain country? This is actually not important, what matters is the first half of the news that he sent through civilian radio. There was a confrontation between the German gunboats and the French navy, and there was a danger of war!

"Inform the captain, adjust the course, we go to the Atlantic, we must pass through the Strait of Gibraltar by noon."

"Encrypt three times and forward the message back."

"Contact the Vulture and come from Cuba to help."

"Level 3 alert, start the No. 5 generator to increase the power, turn on all monitoring channels, and focus on monitoring all signal sources in Britain, Germany and France." Minin's words were hurried, but they still maintained their usual rhythm, and for everyone on the Snow Sculpture, Level 3 Alert was just a small exercise. But they didn't know that when the telegram was encrypted three times in a row and returned to China and transferred to Li Mo's hands, he was deeply relieved.

No one knows better than him what the Moroccan crisis portends, this event can be called a watershed, when Wilhelm II was forced to leave the land that had vowed to protect its ** and territorial integrity under the strong joint pressure of Britain and France, and watched the enemy France and Morocco sign the "Treaty of Fes", sending a signal that "Germany will no longer back down", the shipbuilding race in Europe finally evolved into a head-on confrontation between the two major military blocs!

Out of its own interests, Britain did not hesitate to deter France by force at a critical juncture, and strengthened the close relationship between the Anglo-French Entente and the Triple Entente. Sensitive to German expansion, the Triple Entente became a truly military alliance. Subsequently, Britain and France agreed that the British Navy would defend the English Channel and the French would defend the Mediterranean.

For Li Mo, the news brought by the electric reconnaissance ship with sensitive ears made him a little relieved, at least it showed that he could still grasp the future for a period of time, and the big war was inevitable, and the important thing was that because the Moroccan crisis caused turmoil in North Africa, Italy saw an opportunity and saw a good excuse to use the protection of the diaspora.
