Chapter 279 The sea water is poisonous!
At the same time, in the combat command room of the Pentagon of the Eagle Country, several Eagle Country officers present all had a dejected look on their faces after learning that a total of 12 ships of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group had all run aground and lost power output.
“This is a provocation!”
"A naked provocation!"
"Since the enemy has the ability to destroy the entire Izumo, why did they only destroy our propeller? They are showing off their power to us and showing off their new equipment!" An Eagle Country officer cursed in the command room.
"Perhaps... the other party's action is due to some concerns? The other party may not want to cause too much conflict with us..." Another middle-aged white officer took a deep breath and spoke cautiously.
As for the top operations officer sitting in the middle of the command room, after looking at the combat data link information summarized on the screen, he reached out and took off his reading glasses, rubbed his nose which felt a little sore and said, "Enough! Stop arguing! Don't you think we haven't lost enough face?"
"In order to deal with a single soldier target, we paid the price of two F35 fighters and consumed hundreds of expensive missiles and torpedoes."
"The most infuriating thing is that our 1st aircraft carrier battle group is now paralyzed in the Pacific Ocean and can only wait for rescue by towing ships!"
"This is a shame for our Eagle Nation! Once this news gets out, the entire Eagle Nation army will be nailed to the pillar of shame!"
After these words were spoken, the command room fell silent for a while, especially the two officers who were arguing just now, now blushing and no longer arguing.
The invincible aircraft carrier fleet that roams across all the waters of the blue planet is now anchored collectively in the Pacific Ocean like zombie ships. Even if no one fanns the flames of this news, it will definitely not escape the satellites of other countries that keep flying overhead.
Once this news gets out, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the Eagle Country’s army.
"Sir, what should we do?" another slightly younger officer swallowed and asked nervously.
After scolding, the white old man in the main seat put on his reading glasses again with trembling hands, then sighed and said, "Since it has already happened, we can only choose to face it!"
"Announce to the soldiers on the front line that the interception mission has failed and terminate this operation. Summarize all combat intelligence, especially the intelligence on the mission target, the more detailed the better. I will personally report to the President later."
"Someone needs to take responsibility for the sinking of the Izumo. Although this was a small warship, it was temporarily incorporated into our combined fleet."
"I hope the rescue team can pick up more Marines who were killed in the chicken-foot basin incident, so that we can better calm this matter down to the public."
"As for that target... since our aircraft carrier battle group can't intercept it, let those adults in Congress worry about it!"
After saying this, the white old man stood up, turned around and left the combat command room with the existing information at hand.
But when he left, the white commander's back looked extremely desolate and sad.
…
Not long after this white old man took the information of this interception operation and went to report to the commander-in-chief of the Eagle Country.
The Eagle Country held a brief press conference to announce that the Izumo, which was participating in the joint fleet exercise, was found to have accidentally sunk in a certain waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean at around 2 pm today.
As for the cause of the sinking, the Eagle Country claimed that it was due to improper operation of a marine, which caused a fire in the ammunition depot in the cabin of the Izumo and caused a secondary explosion, which led to the complete sinking of the entire ship.
Out of humanitarian considerations, the Third Fleet has launched rescue operations in the relevant waters. As of the time of the press conference, 223 crew members of the USS Chicken have been successfully rescued.
The remaining 316 crew members of the USS Foot Basin are either missing or died when the ship sank. The salvage and rescue work is still ongoing.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar!
Especially for Japan, when they learned that their proud Izumo "aircraft carrier" had accidentally sunk during the exercise, and that more than 300 Self-Defense Force members had disappeared with the Izumo, the entire Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force was shocked.
This is a quasi-aircraft carrier that cost more than 3 billion green coins. It sank inexplicably during an exercise before it participated in any important combat mission ?
Once this news gets out, there’s no telling how many people will be gloating over it!
After the relevant news began to be broadcast on Japan's TV stations, everyone from the emperor to the ordinary people immediately expressed their prayers for the missing soldiers and questioned the Eagle Country Combined Fleet.
After learning the news, Japan's Minister of Defense immediately took a flight to the accident site to conduct on-site investigation.
Of course, the Eagle Country was hesitant about the truth, as if it was trying to cover up its true intentions. After all, the matter involved intelligence about the 1st aircraft carrier battle group, which could not be easily leaked.
The rescued Izumo crew members were also immediately silenced by the Eagle Country to prevent the inside information from leaking out.
…
At the same time as the Eagle Country announced this explosive news, countries with high-resolution satellites such as the Bear State and the Western Alliance focused their attention on that unusual Pacific Ocean.
Even within the Flower-Growing Family, several meetings were held on the same day, also for the purpose of discussing the Eagle Country's joint fleet exercise.
Originally, the Eagle Country’s joint fleet exercises would be staged in the Pacific Ocean almost every now and then, in order to show off its military power and flex its muscles to the countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
Normally, all countries keep a tacit understanding and would just take a few photos with satellites and then forget about the matter.
After all, the Eagle Country's Combined Fleet has been performing for decades, and at most they just bomb fish in the Pacific Ocean. Occasionally, an accident such as a plane crash or a warship collision can make headlines and cause complaints from people from all over the world.
But this time the melon is a little too big!
They directly sank the quasi-aircraft carrier that Chicken Foot Basin had worked so hard to build!
This has aroused the interest of various countries, and they have begun to analyze the images captured by their satellites.
It would have been fine if this hadn’t been analyzed. Once it was analyzed, everyone was dumbfounded!
Because the 1st Fleet in the picture inexplicably dropped anchor during the exercise, and it was like a zombie ship stuck in the Pacific Ocean.
Moreover, the large number of towing ships that arrived later also confirmed the fact that all the ships, including the aircraft carrier, had dropped anchor.
Now not only the Western allies are watching, but even countries like Russia are happy!
Is this still the aircraft carrier battle group that is known as the invincible one on the blue planet?
How come he was pulled out to perform a role and then suddenly broke down for no apparent reason?
Especially within the Flower-Growing Family, after studying the movements of the Eagle Country's Third Fleet and capturing footage from the scene, they focused on analyzing the scene of the Izumo's disintegration and sinking. Everyone was stunned!
The red-gold energy beam that emerged from the deck of the Izumo stunned the senior executives who were participating in the meeting analysis. They thought that the American people were attacked by aliens in the Pacific Ocean.
Because only aliens have such ship-destroying capabilities comparable to those of the Zenithians!
What's more, just a few hours before this incident, a sudden solar radiation shock erupted .
Just after analyzing this, the senior executive who knew the details of the Second Home Plan suddenly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Comrades, I roughly know who did this!"
"Who did it? The Russian bear? The Western Alliance? Or the Kangaroo Country?" another senior official in military uniform asked with a puzzled look.
"Neither! It was done by one of our own!"
"Did our own people do it? That's impossible! When did we have such outstanding combat power? Can we paralyze the entire 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group without spending a single soldier?" The uniformed leader, who was unaware of the situation, looked suspicious.
"It's Chen Jue, the special candidate of the Second Home Plan... This comrade is quite special, with strong abilities and an active mind. He shot down a satellite of Eagle Country the last time he was launched... He was supposed to return and land today, but due to the solar storm, he accidentally landed in District 15 of Eagle Country."
"I speculate that the Eagle Country's previous behavior of mobilizing the entire west coast's military force as if it were facing a great enemy must have been done by Comrade Chen Jue." The big boss who knew the inside story analyzed.
"The Second Home Plan... Chen Jue... is the founder of the Ten Body Tempering Styles!" The uniformed tycoon's eyes widened when he heard this. He was already familiar with this name because the initial promotion of the Ten Body Tempering Styles was carried out within the military.
I had never had the chance to meet him before, but I didn't expect to get to know this extraordinary person in the folk practice world in this way.
After hearing the name Chen Jue, the other bigwigs who participated in the meeting also looked at each other with a thoughtful look.
"Oh my goodness! Do you dare to challenge the entire Eagle Nation fleet alone?"
"Since it was Comrade Chen Jue who did it, where is he now?" The uniformed man couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and then asked curiously.
"According to the positioning device Comrade Chen Jue carries with him, he should still be active somewhere in the western Pacific Ocean. Because the Eagle Country has dropped a large number of electromagnetic interference bombs in that area, we are unable to accurately locate him for the time being." The big man who knew the inside story wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt that he had received too much stimulation after managing the Second Home project plan.
…
While the outside world was in an uproar over the sinking of the Izumo, the Chen Jue landing in the desert area of District 15 of Eagle Country was welcoming a group of very special guests.
The guests in the motorcade were all elderly experts and scholars, with either gray hair or heavily wrinkled skin. Some of them often appeared in various archaeological documentaries and scientific discovery channels as authoritative guests, and they were all top experts in their respective fields.
However, they were invited here temporarily this time, so these experts and scholars from Eagle Country looked at the environment of District 15, which was widely talked about, with prejudice and curiosity.
Apart from the desolate and uninhabited desert, these experts and scholars could not think of anything worth exploring in this place.
If it weren't for the team of Eagle Country soldiers who escorted them here, each of them was extremely strong and sturdy, perhaps these old bones would have gotten off the bus outside District 15 long ago.
"Sir James, how long will it take to reach the destination?"
"Our old bones can't bear this much bumpy ride!" An elderly expert and scholar complained, but his eyes were looking at the escorting soldiers with great curiosity.
Because he found that this group of soldiers who wrapped themselves tightly were completely different from the Eagle Country soldiers he was familiar with. Each of them exuded a tough and imposing temperament, and they were obviously special forces soldiers who had experienced many battles.
"Professor, we still have 7 minutes to reach our destination. Please wait patiently." The officer named James replied expressionlessly.
After the convoy raised a long line of dust over the desert and arrived at the area covered by white temporary tents, the group got off the vehicle with the support of these special forces soldiers.
The area was filled with white tents with biological and chemical protection and nuclear radiation signs. Countless staff members were coming in and out of the tents. Outside the tents, several diesel generators were roaring and working, and a team of fully armed soldiers were guarding them.
Seeing James appear with this group of experts and scholars, the copy guarding soldiers asked everyone to change into protective clothing that could block electromagnetic radiation and get into the tent.
In the center of the tent was a spacecraft return capsule with a blackened outer shell that had been burned. Inside the capsule was a bronze object that looked like a car wheel, which was emitting a strange light that flickered.
This is the sun disc that Chen Jue brought back from his second home. Because Chen Jue flew too hastily after the forced landing, he forgot this important thing for a moment.
A staff member who was doing research on the solar disk came forward enthusiastically to greet the experts and scholars when he saw them appear.
"Welcome to Area 15! I am Poirot, the person in charge of this temporary camp. I invite you here to borrow your professional knowledge and study this interesting thing together." Poirot said and brought everyone to the sun wheel.
"My God! This should be a bronze artifact... It doesn't look like it's from ancient Greece!"
"It looks like a bronze vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but why does it look so much like a car wheel?"
"Why does it glow? Is it powered by some special energy?"
"And how come it is in a space return capsule? Shouldn't this ancient bronze artifact be collected in a museum?" All kinds of questions popped up among these experts and scholars.
"Dear professors, according to the carbon dating we just conducted, this bronze artifact should be more than 7,600 years old." Poirot looked at these noisy experts and scholars and briefly introduced the previous tests.
"What? A bronze artifact from 7,600 years ago!"
"That can be traced back to the earliest ancient Egyptian civilization!" exclaimed one of the old professors.
"7,600 years ago... 5,600 BC... not just ancient Egypt, this year is earlier than the known Bronze Age: Aegean civilization, Mesopotamian civilization, and the Shang Dynasty of the flower-growing country... It's incredible, what kind of civilization is this product of?" Another old professor was shocked when he heard this, and while bending over to carefully observe the sun wheel, he kept muttering to himself.
…
At the same time, far away in the western Pacific Ocean, Chen Jue, who had just escaped the interception of the Eagle Country's Third Fleet, was swimming westward along the ocean current.
Since a lot of his energy was consumed in the fight with the Eagle Country's advanced weapons, Chen Jue relied on his body strength to swim the entire way forward.
Fortunately, after cutting off all the propellers of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, Chen Jue did not encounter any interception by ships or fighter planes on the subsequent return journey.
Moreover, Chen Jue's swimming speed was very fast. He could maintain an ultra-high speed of over 80 knots by simply sliding his hands and feet. His physical strength was also extremely strong. For him, crossing the Pacific Ocean, which was tens of thousands of kilometers wide, was no different from taking a bath in his own bathhouse.
After swimming for thousands of kilometers and feeling that the radar illumination around him had disappeared, Chen Jue changed from swimming to low-altitude flying.
After spending more than 10 hours in a boring flight over the sea, when night fell, Chen Jue finally saw a port with frequent ships and a coastal beach with dim lights.
"We're finally on land!" Chen Jue was delighted. After being outside for so long, he finally returned to the world of human civilization.
In order not to attract too much attention, Chen Jue folded his wings in advance before flying to the beach and fell into the water.
As soon as he got into the water, Chen Jue noticed something was wrong!
Because he discovered that the sea water contained a weak nuclear radiation that made him feel uncomfortable!
Because he practiced the [Suzaku Guiding Technique] and had sensed the radiation fluctuations left behind by the explosion of nuclear weapons in the Suzaku's nest, Chen Jue was extremely sensitive to this kind of nuclear radiation.
"How could there be radiation in the sea water?" Chen Jue was puzzled and swam carefully to the beach. With the help of the faint light and powerful night vision, he glanced at the lighted seaside buildings in the distance.
Although the three-dimensional signs and light boxes hanging on the seaside buildings also had Chinese characters on them, they were quite different from the Chinese characters he had in mind .
Looking back at the seawater with weak nuclear radiation, Chen Jue opened his mouth and suddenly realized: "Shit! Did I swim into a chicken in a basin?"
