Text Text_Chapter 873 Smelled of death

"Report, tsunami, there's a tsunami!"

The captain pushed open the door to the conference room and shouted at Rear Admiral Scott, who was in the middle of the meeting.

"What!?"

Major General Scott was startled, snapped, and dropped the magnifying glass in his hand on the map on the conference table.

This was on the aircraft carrier Elizabeth on the British Isles.

At about 21 last night, Major General Scott received an urgent call from China, saying that Lord Faye was organizing an annual charity fundraising party on his luxury cruise ship, but he was hijacked by the notorious human trafficker Ham.

When Rear Admiral Scott received the news, more than a hundred hostages had been killed on the cruise ship.

Most of them were bodyguards brought by philanthropists, as well as several staff members on the cruise ship, including the captain who was loyal to Lord Fei.

The Secretary of State for Defense ordered the Elizabeth aircraft carrier, which was in the waters off the coast of England, to return to the offshore waters at full speed and be on first-class combat alert.

Hugh said that the hostages were hundreds of nobles from the British Isles, including Lord Fei.

Even if these people were civilians, the Secretary of State for Defense would have given this order, and Major General Scott would have strictly followed it.

Immediately, the aircraft carrier turned and headed for the near sea at full speed.

However, although Ham was moving fast, it was not an airplane after all, and it was far away from the sea area where the incident occurred, and it would take at least ten hours to get there.

No one thinks about how long it will take.

The aircraft carrier Elizabeth, having received the order, only needs to return at full speed.

But on the way back, he received a call from the Secretary of State for Defense, asking Ham to stand by and put the gangster freighter's radio channel. After deciphering it, it will be connected to this side.

"If necessary, they can take action on their own without having to consult the command that the land urgently formed in this case. But it is necessary to ensure the safety of the hostages, especially Lord Fei. ”

This is what the Secretary of State for Defense has repeatedly emphasized to Major General Scott.

Major General Scott is experienced in dealing with this kind of thing.

Immediately after receiving a clear order, the aircraft carrier fleet was ordered to stand by and send electronic technical experts to immediately decipher the radio channels used by the gangsters, hoping to get in touch with them and conduct "friendly" negotiations.

However, the major general regretted that although they had deciphered the radio channel of the freighter and repeatedly tried to get in touch with the gangsters, the signals sent were like a stone in the sea, and there was no response.

Liszt, who didn't care at all about the official deciphering of their radio channels, just ignored them and followed the long-planned route and headed out to the open sea at full speed.

For this kind of person, Rear Admiral Scott has no choice but to report to the Secretary of State for Defense, and then convene the senior commander of the fleet to urgently negotiate the next plan of action.

Where will the freighter go when it leaves the inland sea?

This is the question that Major General Scott and others are pondering.

Just as everyone was talking about this, the captain suddenly pushed the door and entered, shouting that a tsunami was coming.

"Tsunami?"

Major General Scott's face changed drastically, and he asked in a quack, "How far away is the center of the tsunami?" How high is the level of destructiveness? Previously, did the Land and Sea Military Center send a tsunami warning? ”

In fact, according to Scott's understanding of the captain, just from the horror on his face, he realized that the situation was not good.

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of up to 100,000 tons is definitely a giant at sea.

In the general rough seas, it is just a matter of waiting for it.

But that's just the general situation.

In the event of a tsunami with a powerful level of destruction, the possibility of the aircraft carrier being overturned is simpler than a child wiping snot on his face.

A tsunami with a strong destruction level, when erupting, will form a wall of water of ten to fifty meters, or even higher.

This terrifying power is absolutely invincible.

Tsunami waves can travel at depths of more than 700 kilometers per hour and can easily keep pace with Boeing 747 aircraft.

The raging waves set off by a tsunami, a wall of water hundreds of meters high, can travel thousands of kilometers away, and the energy loss is very small.

Take the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers of US imperialism as an analogy.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is the most powerful maritime giant in the world today, with a flight deck as high as 20 meters above the water, a height of more than 30 meters from the baseline, and a height of more than 70 meters from the baseline to the top of the mast.

But if it hits the terrible force of the tsunami, the only consequence is that the huge waves will capsize the ship and the ship will sink into the deep sea.

In the face of nature, the power of human beings is still too small after all.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, when it encountered a tsunami, was abused like a stinky sock by the sea, not to mention that it was inferior to its Elizabeth aircraft carrier in all aspects?

That's why Rear Admiral Scott panicked and asked the captain repeatedly.

"We have already measured the center of the tsunami outbreak, which is less than 300 nautical miles away from us."

Probably affected by Rear Admiral Scott's panicked heart, but in fact calm on the surface, the captain quickly calmed down, and replied truthfully with a bitter mouth: "The destruction level of the tsunami is Crimson level. Prior to this, we had not received any warning from the military command center on land and sea – the outbreak of the tsunami was sudden. ”

There is no doubt that no matter how advanced the human family is, the ability to give early warning in the face of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and other devastating natural disasters is not even comparable to the premonition of some animals.

Especially in the current deep sea area far from land, it is not said that the earth's crustal activity can be accurately detected, and even the existence of organisms in the deepest part of the seabed has only been detected in recent years.

Rear Admiral Scott, it is really impossible to shift the responsibility for the imminent devastating blow of the aircraft carrier fleet to the relevant early warning department.

The corners of his mouth trembled violently when he heard the captain say the word "crimson".

A crimson-rated tsunami is like an S-rated wanted warrant issued by Interpol when a felon.

It's the most serious one.

"Can our fleet avoid disaster in time before the tsunami comes?"

This is what Major General Scott urgently needs to know.

As for the freighter that is still moving at full speed from the inland sea of the British Isles to the open sea, the life and death of Lord Fei and hundreds of philanthropists - well, in the face of national interests, the life and death of any individual has become insignificant.

"The fleet must now move at full speed towards the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and there is a 60 percent chance that it will survive this tsunami."

As soon as the captain had finished saying this, Rear Admiral Scott slammed the table and shouted, "Quick, quick, full speed Cape of Good Hope!" ”

"Full speed Cape of Good Hope!"

"Full speed Cape of Good Hope!"

The terrible siren, under a series of orders, sounded in vomit.

All the officers and men of the entire aircraft carrier fleet immediately ran up.

As fast as possible, run back to their respective posts.

After Rear Admiral Scott instructed his deputy to immediately report the matter to the land command center, he quickly climbed to the highest observation deck of the aircraft carrier with several subordinates, raised infrared night vision binoculars, and looked west.

Although he wore advanced equipment to monitor the conditions of the ocean, Major General Scott was still accustomed to using his naked eyes to see the crimson tsunami with his own eyes.

"Even God, please protect your people and survive this tsunami."

After seeing the swaying wall of water from the far west, rushing towards the shoreline at the speed of mountains and seas from far west, Major General Scott's right hand quickly drew a cross on his chest.

The one who drew the cross was also the most powerful woman in Eimishima.

Albeit only symbolic.

However, all the people will not forget that it was the efforts of her ancestors that created the empire that was once too powerful in the world to be built, and the sun never sets.

She hadn't closed her eyes since last night.

Always stand in front of the window, look at the West, and be silent.

Her husband, who was in the sea in that direction, was tormented by fear.

She couldn't help at all.

Now, she has learned the details of the whole shocking kidnapping case, and knows that her husband made a serious mistake in the selection of his subordinates.

But she didn't blame her husband for that.

Because she knows very well that her husband has been working hard for charity all these years.

She only hopes that her husband will come back safely.

At this time next year, a charity fundraising party will be held again.

The arrogance of the gangsters, who succeeded for a while, will never stop the pace of the royal family in charity.

As soon as she received the news, she had already ordered the crown prince to prepare the ransom in person.

She felt that 100 million pounds should satisfy the appetite of those traffickers.

The crown prince's ability to work made her very pleased, and in just two hours, 100 million pounds had been raised.

But!

The new situation once again pushed this elegant woman into a desperate situation.

Tsunami.

Tsunami!

There was a crimson-level tsunami, hundreds of miles away from her husband's current location, roaring like a demon.

At a speed of 700 kilometers per hour, a huge wave comparable to the speed of a Boeing 747, it was enough to smash the freighter to the bottom of the sea.

Everyone on that ship was doomed to be burned.

Her husband, who could no longer return to her, took her hand and reminisced with her about the happy years of his youth.

Of course, in addition to that freighter, there are many other ships that will be devastated by this tsunami.

I don't know how many people will die under this tsunami.

After the news of the tsunami came, there were no calls from Congress, the military.

The woman is well aware that in the current critical situation, there is a large amount of work waiting for them to be handled.

For example, to keep the aircraft carrier fleet coming from the open sea as much as possible.

Jingle bells.

The phone finally rang.

The secretary, who was always with her, immediately grabbed the phone.

The call came from the Secretary of State for Defense, who told her in quick and clear voice that the Elizabeth aircraft carrier fleet was moving at full speed toward the Cape of Good Hope, and that the probability of avoiding the tsunami was as high as 60 percent.

The woman let out a long sigh of relief.

Up to 60% probability, in a sense, means that you can get out of danger safely.

The 40% probability includes uncertainties, such as a new tsunami in the event of a tsunami.

But the occurrence of such a situation is very small.

But we can't let up.

Jingle bell, the phone that had just been put down by the secretary, rang again.

"Hey, Linda, I'm Jack."

When Lord Fei's deep bass voice came from the microphone, the woman couldn't hold back anymore, and tears rained down.

Linda, is her milk name.

Jack is her husband's name.

But when they grew up, they never called them anymore.

You have to call it, but you can also - when two people are about to be separated by yin and yang.

"Jack, how are you doing over there?"

After hearing his wife's still elegant voice, Lord Fei, who was hiding behind the container, smiled and said, "It's not good." I've already smelled death. ”
