Chapter 926: "Delores".
Northwest sea area of the Chagos Archipelago. Heavenly Soundsγ.γ β
"Delores" floated lonely on the sea. Storms raged on the surface of the sea, and the lights lit up the boiling sea. The chain of bullets slid into the chamber of the gun, the torpedo warmed up, the close defense system began to idle, the sirens became more and more intense, and all eyes were on the sea. The black sea swayed, and the large ship with a displacement of 6,000 tons swayed with it, and there seemed to be tens of millions of forces that could tear the sea apart at any time.
Old Habs stood at the bow of the ship in a raincoat, calmly facing the rough seas like an old captain.
"Mr. Habs!" One of the crew members stumbled from the deck and ran in this direction, shouting as he ran, the waves were now five meters high, the whole ship was up and down in the sea, and it was necessary to walk here with caution, and if one was not careful, he might slip or even fall out of the boat.
The elder Habs put down the night vision binoculars in his hand and looked back at his men.
"What's the matter?"
"The other three fleets have been confirmed to have an accident!" The crew's faces were pale, as white as paper, and their pupils were filled with horror, "We can't contact them now!" β
"Have you figured out what's going on?" Old Habs turned his head and looked into the distance with his telescope, and in the dark sea, lightning streaked across the sky and fell into the sea, it was a stormy night, and it was not destined to be a peaceful beginning.
He had a vague premonition in his heart that the Elders seemed to have stepped into an invisible trap this time. It's approaching four o'clock in the morning, and after a night of turmoil, perhaps the legendary sunken Atlantis has begun its unstoppable resurrection. According to the original plan, the Council of Elders and the Skycanopy Company had to strike out and destroy it all before the ancient city was activated, but now it seems that everything is out of control.
As a leader of the secret party, this feeling of not being able to control the situation was very bad and made him feel depressed.
In the distance, there was a strange sight above the dark sea, a piece of the sky seemed to be dyed red with blood, and there was a blinding light before, the sky seemed to be illuminated by raging fire, and after a few minutes, everything seemed to be calm again.
Old Habs knew that something was wrong.
"We mobilized all the reconnaissance methods, and the satellite images were very blurry due to the weather, but we used radar scanning to see that the other three major family fleets that were more than 100 nautical miles away from us have disappeared." The crew wiped a handful of water from his face, and he didn't know if it was sea water or rain, his eyes were full of despair, "According to the analysis of our intelligence team, it is estimated that they have been attacked." β
"Are we on alert now?" Old Habs lowered his binoculars again, turned back again, and scanned the various figures on the ship, as well as the weapons that had been warmed up.
"That's right, the intelligence analysis team decided that we were at risk of being attacked, so a state of emergency was activated, now what do we do? Is it to advance or retreat? The crew paused at this point, and lowered their voices twice, "It can completely wipe out three armed fleets on the surface of the sea at once...... There is only one possibility, the opposing side used weapons of mass destruction, and it was a saturation attack, and our warning radar showed that there had been a signal of missile launch from the sea southeast of the Chagos archipelago hours before the three fleets. β
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a strategic nuclear missile." Old Habs shook his head with a wry smile, to kill the fleet of the four major families of the Council of Elders, I am afraid that no one is willing to directly confront each other, and it is difficult for ordinary missiles to work, because the ships are all aliens with natural abilities, not ordinary humans at all, and the atomic bomb dropped on Japan near the end of World War II is the same reason, only this kind of devastating weapons of mass destruction can deal with the descendants of those ancient species.
The crew actually knew quite well in their hearts that he was not stupid, and the results of the intelligence team's analysis included the guesses of the old Habs, so they sent him to ask for the answer, whether to continue or give up.
"Mr. Habs, I think we have to make a decision right away, according to intelligence, there are only two U.S. aircraft carrier formations in the southeast waters of the Chagos Archipelago, and only they have the ability to launch such a large-scale nuclear attack, and we judge that perhaps our allies have defected...... In addition, the operation team of the Sky Curtain Company has also disappeared, and the contact of the Sky Curtain Company, which was temporarily set up on the Chagos Islands, has now lost its signal, and it is obvious that the temporary contact point has failed...... "His face became more and more ugly, "There is only one possibility, the contact center has also been attacked......
Old Habs looked up at the sky, and after a long silence, he said slowly: "The alliance between humans and the Presbyterian Church has existed for many years, maybe it's because they've been friends for too long, and everyone is tired of each other......"
Speaking of which, he didn't go any further.
"Everything is fine with the Barracuda on board, right?" He asked suddenly.
The crew was stunned, not expecting the old Habs to ask this question now. "Delores" is a large scientific research ship, owned by the Habs family, and with a strong ice-breaking function, this ship has been designed and manufactured at the beginning of the problem of armament, so the ship has long been set up in accordance with the standards of the destroyer, the circuits and systems inside are all added to the fire control and military radar and other functions, and the hull and front and rear decks are designed in accordance with the most advanced "Arleigh Burke-class" Aegis destroyer, preset missile silos and weapon bases, As long as the special mission requires it, the weapon can be installed in place and debugged in as little as a week.
Fearing that the ship would attract the attention of various countries, it has been placed in the Arctic as a research ship and icebreaker, and used as a means of transport for a large scientific expedition sponsored by the Presbyterian "Little Bird Project", so as to hide people's eyes.
The "Barracuda" is a small deep-water submarine placed on the ship, with a displacement of only 200 tons, which is a small submarine, but this is a great deep-diving submarine, although it has never published its own deep-diving record, but after the design was completed, the Presbyterian Research Department tested it, and this small thing successfully dived to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, over 11,000 kilometers of seabed.
What's more, this time the Barracuda came to the waters of the Chagos Archipelago not only because the legendary Atlantis is in the depths of the Chagos Trench, at a depth of more than 5,000 meters, but more importantly, there is a great secret hidden on this submarine.
"Still, President, are you going to ......" The crew's faces were indistinguishable from those of the dead.
"In this case, you will immediately go to the highest alert, and then launch the Barracuda, leaving behind the five submarine operators, and the rest all retreat." Old Habs muttered: "I have lost the elites of the three major families, I hope that the people of the Habs family can preserve a little bit of vitality, and they can't let everyone be buried here......"
His heart was gloomy, once the alliance between humans and the Council of Elders collapsed, it meant that he had a powerful enemy in the future, for so many years, with the support of the Council of Elders, the human race had gained great power, maybe they had already had the intention of tearing up the agreement, but this was just a perfect opportunity.
"Grandpa......" Selena suddenly appeared behind the old Habs, "I beg to stay, you will need me." β
Old Habs didn't expect Selena to suddenly appear on the deck, obviously she was not ignorant of the current situation, but the plan of the "Barracuda" was already a last resort, and the danger was completely unimaginable, how could she bear to let Selena go to the funeral with her?
"You ......" the old Habs was about to refuse, when a sharp alarm suddenly sounded on the ship.
"There are unknown fighter jets entering the nearby airspace, all on alert! All on alert! The ship's captain shouted in a hoarse voice over the megaphone, "Get into combat positions immediately!" β
Enemy?
Is it finally coming?
In the pupils of the old Habs, the blue flame of Moriah suddenly burned wildly, since the end of World War II, he had not tried to be on the front line for a long time, and the long-lost excitement of the battle spread all over his body again, and the blood began to rush happily in his veins.
Come on! Let's fight! After all, the destination of a warrior is blood and fire on the battlefield!
He silently clenched his palms into fists, his joints crackling.
