The waters off the Banana Islands.

Two "Gray-backed Falcon" multi-purpose helicopters painted with rice flags on their fuselages swept over the sea one after the other, and the leading "Gray-backed Falcon" carried weapons racks with two air-to-surface missiles and two "bighead carp" torpedoes hanging on them; Another "Grayback Falcon" in addition to the 12 in the nose. 7 mm machine gun with no suspended armament under the wings.

In the cabin of the empty "Grayback Falcon", Lieutenant Colonel Taylor walked to the door of the monitoring room, glanced at the naval sergeant sitting in front of the surveillance radar, and asked, "Sergeant Connor, what's going on?" Aren't you sure you've found the location? ”

The black sergeant shook his head: "SIR, there's a lot of interference here......" He pointed to the very unstable picture and said to Taylor, "I am contacting the aircraft carrier monitoring center to ask them to provide satellite positioning data." ”

"Damn it!" Taylor turned around and walked back into the cabin, glancing irritably at a dozen heavily armed SAS Special Forces soldiers before walking over to the porthole and peering through the wound.

The sea was pitch black, and it was the third day of M606's disappearance. Six hours ago, the monitoring equipment of the aircraft carrier's command center and an airborne early warning aircraft scanned the sea surface 150 nautical miles west of the Banana Islands and discovered an extremely weak series of radio waves, apparently emitted by the operation of certain electronic equipment.

Through a detailed comparison of the equipment in the early warning aircraft, it was found that this belonged to the British Royal Navy M606 spy ship that had been missing for three days, and the news came, which made the Sierra Leone military command very excited, and General Hammond, who was in charge of military operations throughout Africa, ordered that it must arrive at the sea area where M606 is located within three hours, and board the ship to search for it, and find out what happened to the ship.

However, what is frustrating is that the radio waves disappeared in an instant, and then the M606 disappeared again on all radar monitors, which made General Hammond very angry, and the disappearance of an expensive spy ship not only means a loss of money, but the military communication code and data on the ship are the key, if leaked, it will affect the entire British expeditionary force deployed in Africa.

Even more frightening are the pervasive military correspondents, who seem to have smelled something strange in the air these days, and two reporters from the New York Times and The Times have called General Hammond's landline, intentionally or unintentionally, about the disappearance of the ship.

The M606 spy ship must be found immediately, otherwise the missing ship and naval officers and sailors will make headlines in the major newspapers, dealing a political blow to the military operation in Sierra Leone and even having a great impact on the ruling Labor Party, which supports the operation.

Without even having time for the latest information to arrive, the SAS team assembled in less than half an hour, took off from the military airfield in Freetown, and flew towards the sea where the sonic band was first discovered.

Hammond's favorite general Taylor was in charge of the search and rescue operation, and he was ordered to fly to the designated sea area as soon as possible, and while searching, he waited for the latest information from the control room of the "Ark Royal" aircraft carrier command center and the British Ministry of Defense intelligence center.

This time, Taylor led two teams of 36 SAS special forces soldiers, an armed "Grayback Falcon" and a "Grayback Falcon" converted into a search and rescue helicopter, and went straight to the target sea area.

This can be regarded as a luxury lineup in a search and rescue operation, usually SAS is touched in the form of a small team, and dozens of people are dispatched at one time, which shows the importance of this matter from above.

However, it was disappointing that M606 was not found at the coordinates where the first radio wave appeared, and Taylor felt that his luck was really not very good, and this operation in Sierra Leone encountered some unpredictable and strange events at every step, including the battle near Bo, Taylor was ordered to keep his mouth shut and not to mention any details of the incident, and all the news of the operation was researched and released by MI6 and the press office of the Ministry of Defense.

Taylor, who flew into the air, did not leave immediately, in the waters near Africa, the British Royal Navy has no opponent, the military strength of the country here is weak, as long as you see the bright rice flag on the fuselage, no one dares to provoke.

He took two helicopters around the sea and circled, but could not find any trace of the M606, and the pilot told Taylor that if the M606 could not be found within half an hour, everyone had to retreat, otherwise there would not be enough gasoline to return home.

Lieutenant Colonel Taylor looked anxiously at his watch by the porthole, and the glow-in-the-dark military watch showed that twenty minutes had passed, and that the pilot was about to turn around and fly back in ten minutes.

"Lieutenant Colonel Taylor!" Sergeant Connor suddenly shouted excitedly, his head sticking out of the door of the surveillance room, and a mouthful of frightening white teeth appeared on his swarthy face, "Found M606!" ”

Taylor lost the demeanor of a high-ranking officer and almost threw himself at the door: "How? How far away from us? ”

"It's not far, it's not more than three minutes away...... Just now, there was another wave frequency leak, and I and the command center captured the signal at the same time! Absolutely no problem this time! Connor shook his head in confusion and said, "It's strange, why didn't we find that area of the sea just now?" ”

A dark cloud crossed Taylor's mind, and on the other "Grayback Falcon", there was a random MI6 agent, and judging from this briefing, there was also an MI6 agent on the M606.

These MI6 intelligence guys appear in Africa so frequently, is there any connection with the dragon they saw near Bo?

Taylor immediately realized that he couldn't think any further. Few officers from SAS at the same time as him can achieve his position, and next year he will be promoted to the rank of colonel, and if it goes well, it is estimated that he will have the opportunity to win the position of general, which is the greatest reward and great honor for a soldier.

It's not that Taylor is much better at military command and combat skills than his SAS comrades at the same time, but that he understands politics better than his contemporaries.

There are some things that should be asked, and it is better not to mention a word that should not be asked, so that these things rot in the stomach and in the brain.

With such frequent involvement by General Hammond and MI6, and the scene he saw on the battlefield of Bo, Taylor knew that this would be another record of operations stamped "top secret" and sent to an unknown agency for archiving.

"Everyone, let's prepare, we have found the M606, and it is estimated that it will be on board in three minutes." Taylor put all the things he shouldn't think about behind and returned to his SAS men: "I reiterate our discipline, after boarding the ship, our action is to make sure that we find the crew of the ship, whether they are alive or dead, whether they are alive or dead, whether they are dead or dead, check every corner of the ship, look for enemies, and if they do, at least leave me alive!" ”

"SIR, IF THE ENEMY RESISTS FIERCELY, CAN WE LEAVE NO ONE ALIVE?" One of the team members asked, looking up.

Another shadow swept over Taylor's mind, and he was about to say no, but suddenly the dragon from Bocheng sounded again.

"Yes, if you really can't, you must save yourself first!"
