"We have to get out of this area!" Rear Admiral Mark A. Mitchell stood on the conning tower, looked down at the dreadnought-class dive bombers on the deck that were still busy loading depth charges, and whispered.

"Can it still be salvaged?" Australian Foreign Minister Herbert Weir-Ivat's face was a little pale, staring at the place where the Wichita had just sunk for a heavy patrol.

"The water here is more than 1,000 meters deep, and there is nothing we can do!" Mitchell grinned.

Although it is not a basin of more than 5,000 meters to the southwest of the Tasman Sea, it is not on the continental shelf, and it will be difficult to salvage such a deep wealth even in future generations, let alone now.

"Those submarines may still be nearby, I think we need to get out of here sooner!" Mitchell reminded again that as a representative to New Zealand to coordinate foreign affairs, Ivat also followed the trend of keeping an eye on this large fortune. Some decisions involving this wealth require his consent, especially if the Americans are poorly protected and sink a ship of wealth.

There is no longer a shadow of a submarine on the surface of the sea, but the shadow of the submarine threat remains.

After the bombing, there were occasional floating debris such as oil and garbage on the sea, and I don't know if it was from the submarine, or from the poor Wichta, or from the civilian ships scurrying around.

However, Mitchell preferred that the submarines were undamaged, and that they were still hiding under the surface like assassins, waiting for another fatal blow.

"Okay!" Ivat nodded with difficulty.

At this point, there was no way to get it back, and what he needed to do more was to keep the other fortune on the Lexington from going wrong, and to keep the civilians safe, rather than mourning their sunk wealth here until the more dangerous night came.

The rest of the way. The Americans have stepped up their vigilance on the sea surface. And there has been no shadow of Japanese ships or submarines.

"What the hell are these Japanese trying to do?" Looking farther and farther away at the location of the wreck where the coordinates had been recorded, Ivat, who had returned to his cabin, suddenly burst into rage.

Those rumors are partly true, and Americans can't count on them. When the British did not back down, he once privately negotiated the armistice with the Japanese on behalf of the Australian government. The Japanese had a lot of appetites, and in the case of Sydney already occupied. They want to swallow the Australian continent entirely. But in order to reduce losses, a way for Australians to flee for their lives was released to break the Australians' will to resist.

Originally, after a few days, everyone had a tacit understanding of the Japanese plan, but who knew that the Japanese submarine had come to such a sharp attack again, and most of the wealth of the Australian treasury was buried at once, and the remaining wealth on the Lexington was not much except for the savings of those private chaebols.

Even though New Zealand is a brother of the British Commonwealth, Curtin's pro-American policy has offended Britain. Originally, the refugees fled to this fence, and they could only hope that the Americans would pull them along. But at this time, without money, it is difficult to carry out even a diplomatic money offensive. It seems that the future of the Australian government is very bleak. Ilwatt was not worried about outbursts.

"They're probably just here to spy on our movements. When you come across a suitable target, you may also try to attack. Sherman, the secretary beside him, whispered.

If they are said to be attacking the transport fleet. Sending only a few submarines simply didn't work.

If they had heard some movement, they had come for wealth, but if they sank the Wichta Heavy Cruiser at once, they had no way to salvage it, and they found nothing.

It can only be explained that they came to reconnoitre, and they happened to encounter the laxity of the Americans' defenses, and they couldn't help but make a surprise attack on the largest warship, who knows if they succeeded in one time.

The speculations are more consistent. Ivat could only sigh to himself that he was unlucky.

"Could it be that it is not Japanese?" Mitchell whispered.

Americans are also exploring this issue.

From the beginning to the end, only the two periscopes were seen, and the whole body was not exposed, and no signs were visible.

"Could it be the gold thief? I heard that they also robbed the British of gold with submarines. A lieutenant colonel officer shrugged his shoulders and said.

Mitchell was silent, maybe it was possible.

"One of the pilots of a dreadnought bomber was diving in one of the submarines when he saw through the sea that there was a Japanese logo on the submarine's control tower." A lieutenant colonel.

"Really?"

"We've looked into it. He was not alone, but his companions saw it too. The lieutenant colonel affirmed.

"It's really Japanese!" Mitchell hated.

So the merit of sinking the Wichta Heavy Patrol was recorded on the heads of the Japanese.

Later, the Americans obtained some records of the actions of the Japanese, including the part where three submarines were around the Tasman Sea that day to reconnoiter and listen to the news, and even if the Japanese tried every possible way to justify themselves and brought out some evidence and confessions, there were some loopholes in the matter itself, but for political needs, the hat was always put on the head of the Japanese.

……

"I hope the Japanese can carry one more black pot on their backs!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.

One of the three submarines dispatched by the Japanese was sold under umbrella, and the back door was also opened.

The ability to transform and change is seamless, but the emotional intelligence of the clone is really unbearable. Even though the Spy is more flexible, he still can't deal with it as easily as an ace Spy.

Therefore, their position cannot be very high, and it is already good to serve as a secretary and custodian, although they can access a lot of secrets, but they cannot be all.

It was because he couldn't find out the secrets of some of the submarine bases of the Japanese, so Meng Xiang sold three different submarines to Japan.

Under normal circumstances, considering that submarines and aircraft carriers pose a great threat to the Chinese Navy, Meng Xiang generally does not sell. But it was precisely the three submarines that were sold to the Japanese that opened the back door, and the two secrets of the Japanese were directly exposed on the big screen of the base.

Similarly, the Japanese submarine operation in the Tasman Sea this time appeared on the big screen of the Australian sub-base.

Only then did Meng Xiang find out the news that the submarine with Japanese was reconnoitring in the nearby sea, so he temporarily painted several Japanese naval logos on the Red Alert second-level submarine. I don't expect to hide it from the Americans like this, just to disgust the Japanese, I really didn't expect that the Japanese have been carrying the black pot all the time.

"Our spies aren't omnipotent! The Americans also put part of their wealth on the USS Lexington, and we actually missed it. Meng Xiang sighed slightly.

"It's a little difficult to attack the USS Lexington!" Rat Eryi glanced at him and said, "Unless you put in more attack power, you can't do a fatal blow!"

"I know, I'm a little greedy!" Meng Xiang shook his head and smiled, "This time I can eat so much gold at one time, I should be content." ”

He stroked the short beard on his lips, and said leisurely: "I don't know if they have been salvaged?"

……

"Baby, come on!" Under the sea level not far from the sinking site of the Wichita Heavy Cruise, Tanya, who was dressed in a wetsuit, smiled and gestured to a tentacle stretched out in the distance.

Below her, a large black shadow was raising a long tentacle and reaching for a stationary submarine below. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that a box is rolled up at the top of the tentacle, which is placed in a modified tow-like place at the rear of the submarine.

A dolphin swam quickly along the beautiful waterline and surrounded Tanya, chirping as it flapped its front fin. The cheerful sound reverberated far away in the sun-dappled waters.

"I know, another box of treasures has been fished!" Although she couldn't speak in the water, Tanya still smiled and reached out to touch the dolphin's forehead.

The dolphin spun around happily, beckoned its left fin to Tanya, and swam towards the dark shadow below.

After the tentacle placed the box, it quickly retracted, but under the sunlight, it could still be vaguely seen around the black shadow, like seaweed, dancing a dozen equally huge tentacles.

Of course, two days after the heavy patrol of the Wichta sank, there were no longer Allied warships around, and occasionally reconnaissance planes rushed by, and it was impossible to see the dark shadows in the sea below. Only farther away, because of the shadow that once stayed on the water, a new version of the legend of the Siren was spread from the mouths of a group of New Zealand fishermen.

There have been legends of krakens in the West since ancient times, but after the arrival of scientific civilization, everyone has begun to analyze these krakens rationally. From the tentacles waving from the huge black shadow, some fishermen still recognized it as a huge octopus.

It's just that no one would have thought that such a huge octopus was raised by humans.

This is also the reason why Meng Xiang dared to sink the warship carrying gold directly.

After having Yuri, the research on animal control in the base has made a breakthrough, and the big squid in the red police that Meng Xiang has always missed has the possibility of realization.

Because it needs to be controlled by the mind controller in the sub-base, but without Yuri's direct control, like large ships, those controlled animals also need to consume the star value of the brain.

Ordinary cats and dogs are not worth consuming star points, but those giant animals, especially the giant creatures of the sea, are very difficult to encounter.

After taking control of a large sperm whale, Meng Xiang's base finally caught a giant king squid with the help of sperm whales.

Next, with the help of the giant king squid, Meng Xiang's biological forces expanded again, and he successfully controlled a giant octopus, that is, the giant octopus that was helping Meng Xiang salvage the shipwreck's treasure from the deep sea.
