Chapter 306: The Missing Ghost Nuclear Submarine
The third update continues Amway's WeChat account: Yanayev's first story has begun to be serialized, and today he is ready to go on the combat power list to ask for a recommendation and a monthly pass
The US Combined Fleet, which has entered the waters of the western Pacific, is swimming and sailing here as if it had entered a no-man's land, and it is ironic to think that the US Combined Fleet has not encountered any maritime enemies except for those anti-submarine planes, early warning planes, and strategic bombers that have followed it from afar.
Just as the Soviet Pacific Fleet was all cowering in Vladivostok and at the naval base in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the Kamchatka Peninsula did not dare to meet the enemy, the sailors on the ships of the Combined Fleet raised their insulting middle fingers at the Soviet planes hovering in the sky.
Although Yanayev is full of anger now, he is not really losing his mind, and if he fights with the Pacific Fleet and the Combined Fleet, such a deal is not worth it at all. He is calculating a larger conspiracy, and the United States, South Korea, and Japan will all be retaliated against after this incident, without exception.
Anyway, the net has been sprinkled, and now he is silently waiting for the Americans to take the bait.
The U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union welcomed Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze, and because the secret exercise had already been approved by Ambassador Matlock, the politically astute U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union had already figured out a rhetoric to deal with Shevardnadze.
When he saw Shevardnadze, whose face was red from the ice and snow and who was walking in a hurry, he felt a little proud in his heart, and thought to himself, you Soviets also have this day. He was finally able to say to the Soviets with confidence, I don't know, I don't have anything to say.
Shevardnadze did not ramble nonsense. He addressed the American ambassador in the most concise terms. "Listen, now the Soviet Union has a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that has lost its voice in the waters off the west coast of the United States. The captain threatens to destroy the entire United States with a long-range ballistic missile on a nuclear-powered submarine with a nuclear warhead! What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and inform your Minister of Defense! ”
However, before the smug little emotions had passed, Matlock's news made Matlock stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, and the words prepared in his mind disappeared in an instant.
"What do you say, the nuclear submarines of the USSR were going to strike at the United States? Are you kidding, Minister Shevardnadze, how could such an accident happen! Matlock shook his head. Veto Shevardnadze's claims.
Shevardnadze's frenzied expression made his heart shake a little, and what he said next made him, "Because you don't know the situation at all, this is a nuclear submarine equipped with the latest silent propulsion system of the Soviet Union, which can block all the sonar exploration of the United States now, and he is also the real 'underwater ghost' of the real Soviet Union." It's one of our secret trump cards! ”
"Are you saying that your current trump card wants to provoke a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union?" Matlock was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, he quickly grabbed the phone on the table and reported the information to the Pentagon.
"He didn't want to provoke a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union, he was ready to provoke a world-class nuclear war. The nuclear warhead carried on it was aimed at China. Aimed at France, aimed at Great Britain. As soon as the necessary conditions for a nuclear bundle strike appear, the whole world will be wiped out. Shevardnadze told Mark Rock in a clear way about the seriousness of the matter.
"I'm informing the Pentagon right now...... You wait a minute. Malotke was already flustered and incoherent.
One second the Pentagon was still basking in the joy of successfully having a naval party in the back garden of the Soviets, and the next second Minister Aspin, who received a call from Matlock, could not laugh out loud. He asked again and again if this was true, and Matlock nodded, saying that it was the Soviet government's own words.
"The missing is a modified Delta IV-class nuclear submarine carrying 10 100,000-ton *** yield nuclear warheads, captain Mikhail is a radical leftist figure who has always dreamed of destroying all the capitalist countries of the world, and this desire for revenge has become more and more ingrained since the death of his wife, until a few hours ago he shot the commissar instructor on the submarine and then led the navy into the waters off the west coast of the United States."
He is also an excellent submarine commander in the Soviet Union, so this nuclear submarine test task modified with a silent system will be entrusted to him with confidence. It's just that the Soviet government didn't expect that he didn't defect with a submarine, but directly prepared to launch a nuclear strike beyond the United States. Even the Soviet Union did not know by what means he had obtained another set of nuclear bomb launch codes, and now the right to launch ten nuclear warheads was in his hands. ”
"And the Soviet government claims that this is the only state-of-the-art attack nuclear submarine in the world, and if you can't do a large-scale ship search, it will be like a ghost roaming the waters of the United States like an unscrupulous ghost and taunting us fiercely."
After listening to the presentation, Defense Minister As-Ping asked, "Don't those Russians know how to keep their nuclear bomb launch codes?" So now we send all the fleets, anti-submarine aircraft, attack submarines to search, can we find this legendary ghost submarine? ”
"From the introduction of the Soviet Union, we can know that they have achieved something in the field of silence that American submarines have not broken through, which means that this submarine may really be the most unique strategic weapon in the world. In this case, it will be difficult to catch it. With the number of ships we still have in the port now, it's difficult. Unless we recall the Navy that held joint military exercises in the Western Pacific, and then look for it inch by inch from Alaska to California, we will find the clues. ”
After hearing the news, Aspin frowned, he was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this submarine, why did the United States hold a joint military exercise in the waters of the western Pacific, and the Soviet Union had a nuclear submarine that disappeared inexplicably in the sea area?
"Have you ever assessed the authenticity of this nuclear submarine?" Minister Aspin suddenly asked, "For example, our intelligence and reconnaissance work, there should be clues on the CIA's side of such a highly classified project, isn't there any Soviet shipyard with no information about this nuclear submarine?" ”
"In fact, last month the CIA did find some clues at the Komsomolsk shipyard in Amur that a nuclear submarine that appeared to have no record of being repaired, and the CIA didn't pay much attention to the photos on this intelligence at the time."
"What do you eat from the CIA's waste, and such important information is not fed back to the Department of Defense?" Hearing the other party's answer, Asping showed great indignation, but his heart settled down, at least now it can be confirmed that this ghost nuclear submarine exists, and it is not made up by the Soviets in order to divert the combined fleet.
"Oh yes, the Soviets also said that if you find that nuclear submarine, destroy it immediately. Because by this time Captain Mikhail had lost his mind, and he had threatened that when he was discovered, that is, when the United States was destroyed, his hand would be on the nuclear button at any time. ”
"I know, the four Nimitz-class ships that are conducting joint exercises will be recalled, and I need their anti-submarine ships to conduct underwater searches, otherwise the range is too vast." Secretary Aspin's order to the Navy is still far from the original purpose of deterrence, but the homeland security of the United States is more important than the original goal.
A failure in one exercise will not make Secretary Asping resign and apologize, but a serious homeland security crisis could cost him his future and opportunity.
At the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union, when he confirmed that the Pentagon had begun a search for Soviet nuclear submarines, Shevardnadze was relieved and said to Matlock, "I hope we still have time to prevent a nuclear war." ”
Of course, he had a different sentence in mind.
"These idiots have finally taken the bait." (To be continued.) )
