Chapter Seventy-Six: Preparing for Action
In this world, there are not many people who Rorschach admires, and Captain Stone is one.
In the face of danger and unknown situations, there are not many people who can deal with them as calmly as Stone.
As a lieutenant colonel serving as the captain of a guided missile destroyer, he can be said to have gone to the forefront of all military personnel, and if it weren't for the drag of his brother, he might have been able to get to the final apex.
Rorschach doesn't mind giving his admirers a springboard, and at the same time it's a gesture of goodwill to the world.
But after entering the Time and Space Administration, it's not Rorschach who has the final say!
When Stone came out of prison, the only people waiting for him were Navy Commander Terrence and a Krieger.
"General! I ......"
Stone saluted Terrence, who gently patted Stone on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job later." ”
This kind of remark made Stone confused, he looked at Terrence suspiciously, but Terrence looked at Krieg on the side.
It seems that the person who can call the shots in front of him is ...... No, the person in charge is the man just now, and the person in front of him is the herald.
I saw Krieg glance at Terrence and said unceremoniously: "Please leave unrelated personnel, the next words are high secrets, those who have the intention to probe will die!" ”
To utter the most insipid death threat to a naval commander, only Krieger could have done.
Stone stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes, but he didn't expect Terrence to turn around and leave without saying a word.
"This? I? You? ”
Stone's head was full of question marks, but Krieger on the side got to work.
"Induction training for you first, follow in my footsteps, everything you see is top secret, you must not disclose it without permission, if there is a violation, die!"
Stone followed Krieger and began a mind-bending training.
Until the next day, in the command room of a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, he was still a little dizzy with the information he knew.
'Haven't I woken up yet, why has the whole world changed......
"The director arrives at the bridge, and the director takes over control!"
With an announcement, everyone stood up straight and waited for orders from Rorschach.
Rorschach walked in from outside and said without the slightest pause: "The power is warmed up, ready to sail at any time." Inform the white house that NASA's affairs can't be found out, and he won't be taken with him in the future. Notify all satellites and detection equipment, and in case of unclear signals, immediately communicate to the Joint Command. The military exercises were notified to proceed as usual, the scope of the exercises was expanded, and civilian ships were expelled. At the same time, the land-based launch platform on Oahu shifted positions as usual. ”
Hearing the order, everyone began to act in an orderly manner, and only Stone was silently hiding at his feet.
To take over control is to have absolute control on a warship. No one is allowed to act lightly until the captain has made a request.
Rorschach recalled the movie in his memory, and combined with reality, he realized that this lighthouse project was really a behemoth.
Launchers have been built not only in the Hawaiian Islands, but also in the Himalayas and around the world. No one doubted them until the scheme was exposed.
And after the appearance of Rorschach, the lighthouse project was exposed, and these countries found out that such a device had been built in their own territory.
It is not clear where the funding will come from, it is not clear what the personnel plan is, or even when it was established.
The harm of the three-no product makes everyone frightened.
If there are all over the world, why did the alien landing choose to be near the Hawaiian Islands? Was it a random landing, or was it premeditated? None of this is known.
But in the movie, the aliens' actions fit into the advance force's plan of action.
Build preset positions, destroy the main defenses, establish communications, search for information on enemy equipment, call the fleet.
Every step was on the route of the war, not a group of shipwrecked miners as some people had speculated.
If it's really a miner, how many resources are there outside the solar system, and why does it have to be on Earth? With energy shields and exoskeletons, plus interstellar navigation, those inanimate planets are the first choice.
Even Mars has more resources than Earth. If water is needed, liquid planets are not without them.
Thinking of this, Rorschach immediately added: "Speed up the operation, notify the joint command to inform the fleets at all levels, and notify the coordinates as soon as they see a visually suspicious object without radar display." ”
There was another tense communication on the bridge, and Rorschach was just then idle, reaching out and calling Stone in the corner.
"Sir, Stone Hope reports to you!"
Looking at Stone in front of him, Rorschach stood up and said, "This ship is handed over to you for the time being, sail the ship out, and take the remaining combined fleet around the Hawaiian Islands, but you can't stay more than fifty kilometers away." ”
“sir! This is a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, and I've only commanded missile destroyers. ”
What Stone wanted to say was not this, but the special status of the Ticonderoga-class cruiser, as the only first-class cruiser in the establishment, it existed as the main command center of the aircraft carrier battle group (CVBG) and the amphibious assault battle group.
That is to say, it is usually used as a flagship, and its importance can be imagined. Even having to walk around the corner with the fleet, the pressure is too great.
I wanted to say something, but Rorschach reached out to stop him.
"If you think you're at that level, you can leave. I'll have someone prepare a boat for you, and you can go back to your own missile destroyer, the conditions were the same last night, and I can forget about everything......"
"But then again, after seeing the stars and the sea, will you still be nostalgic for the bathtub of the earth?"
After Rorschach finished speaking, he gave up the captain's position and continued, "You know what? For the sake of this battle, even the battleship Missouri, which was used as a museum, was towed out, and the enemy was really terrifying. ”
"The opportunity is right in front of you, it's up to you to choose."
Rorschach finished speaking, waiting for Stone's reply.
Sure enough, Stone did not disappoint Rorschach, and after a short decision, and then saluted Rorschach, he picked up the headset of the captain's position and began to command.
"I'm Stone Hope, taking over the ship. Now the sailing operation begins, the bow gun is removed from the gun jacket, and the stern launcher is released from the safety ......"
After Rorschach handed the ship to Stone, he left. The current Time and Space Administration lacks everything, and what is even more lacking is talent, but war is the best teacher, and Stone just lacks an opportunity.
Now Rorschach has the most important task of reaching the top of Oahu to determine the time of the enemy's attack.
After yesterday's farce, Anderson had already led the little raccoon to the satellite communication station to set up the base in advance.
So by the time Rorschach showed up at the top of the mountain, Anderson and the little raccoon had done everything.
Freezers containing the Tyrant and Alpha Hunters were placed in various locations, and the Cerberus, who served as biodetectors and sentinels, spotted Rorschach first, and after a brief sniffing, they ran around Rorschach twice before re-lurking.
Anderson then appeared from the side and said to Rorschach...... "Director, we found something"
