Chapter 461 Don't mess around
It turns out that the captain still didn't want to die, at least not in such an unclear way.
He took a deep breath, and when the water was above his head, he quickly swam to the hatch, climbed out of the submarine along the hatch, and boarded the lifeboat that was already waiting aside.
The lifeboats were densely packed with submarine officers and soldiers, and no one was missing.
After all, not counting the aircraft carrier, there are eight large warships with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons around. It is impossible for them to drown in the sea.
But soon these warships will have too much to take care of themselves...
Zhao Ming decided to tease them and deliberately paused his attack, allowing the eight warships to continuously search around.
However, no one found anything, not even the slightest suspicious signal, whether it was phased array radar, active sonar, or observers' telescopes.
In the surrounding sea and airspace, except for their own, there were no other ships, and there was no discovery under water.
It would be wrong to say that they were not discovered, because none of the ships could detect the two submarines that had just sunk through sonar, as if the two submarines had never appeared.
When the submarine captain followed everyone and moved from the lifeboat to the nearest destroyer, before he could drink a cup of coffee to calm down his shock, he heard the U.S. Navy soldiers on the ship yelling over there.
It turns out that this boat also started to take on water!
"Withdraw the personnel and close that cabin!" the destroyer's captain ordered decisively.
U.S. warships have a segmented design. There are many watertight compartments throughout the ship. If water leaks in one place, if it cannot be stopped, the watertight doors can be closed to prevent seawater from pouring into other compartments.
It's a pity that they met Zhao Ming, a cheating guy.
As a result, the leaking cabin stopped just as soon as it was closed.
"What's going on?" The captain looked confused. How could a hole that leaked water so quickly disappear on its own?
"The reason is unknown, sir." His subordinate, Monk Zhang Er, was also confused.
Just as the captain was about to order the watertight door to be opened and sent people in to check, he heard his subordinate nervously report: "Sir, there is another water leak in a cabin next to it!"
At this point, Zhao Ming was too lazy to cover up anything. Anyway, so many warships took in water and sank on the same day, so it couldn't be some kind of malfunction.
It's better to let yourself have some fun.
As a result, loopholes appeared randomly throughout the ship, and then disappeared randomly quickly, basically maintaining a uniform water ingress throughout the ship.
"Damn it, report to the fleet commander that we are unable to seal the loopholes and all of us must abandon the ship!"
The captain saw that the entire ship had sunk to the warning level and had to give the order to abandon ship.
So the submarine captain came to the lifeboat for the second time...
There were three ships in succession that took on water and sank for no apparent reason. What happened was exactly the same as the two guided-missile destroyers that sank and disappeared in the past few months. Is it possible that they encountered aliens again?
So the fleet commander ordered one destroyer to be left behind to rescue the officers and soldiers who fell into the water, and the other warships left this ominous sea area at full speed as soon as possible.
"Hey, you want to run away? Leave the warship to me and you can just take the lifeboat."
Zhao Ming sneered and unleashed his ultimate move.
This time, the remaining eight warships, regardless of size, all began to take in large amounts of water.
Anyway, the warship is about to be booked. As for the crew, Zhao Ming has no intention of killing them. It is up to them whether they want to get on the lifeboat or not.
If someone wants to sink with the battleship, Zhao Ming doesn't mind letting him do it.
An hour later, the sea was filled with all kinds of lifeboats, and there were many SH-60B helicopters circling in the sky.
Some of these helicopters are aircraft carried on the aircraft carrier, and the rest are from four Ticonderoga-class cruisers and four Burke-class destroyers.
Zhao Ming didn't like these anti-submarine helicopters. Firstly, he had better electric helicopters, and secondly, he had no need for anti-submarine helicopters, so he allowed them to take off with crews.
As for other fighter jets on the aircraft carrier, such as the F/A-18, the main fighter jet of the U.S. Navy, there was no way they could fly away. All of them suffered mechanical failures at the critical moment, and none of them could fly.
The entire U.S. fleet here sank, and several warships from other countries in the distance were so frightened that they all had "malfunctions" and waited until they were late for several hours.
Soon after, the Americans' own rescue fleet also arrived. After some detection, it turned out that nine large warships, including the aircraft carrier, were missing like the two previous submarines.
"This is war!"
Thousands of miles away, in the White House conference room, Te Mopu blushed and slapped the table and shouted.
"Where is he? Find him for me, I will launch a nuclear missile to kill him!"
"He is in Shenzhen." the CIA director replied, "but we cannot launch a nuclear strike on Chinese territory, as that will trigger a nuclear war."
"Then order them to hand him over, otherwise we..."
Before he could finish speaking, the chief of staff on the side couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted: "Sir, I think you haven't understood our real situation.
Judging from the information we have so far, the other party obviously knows the locations of all our military bases very well.
If we plan to launch nuclear missiles regardless of the consequences, I am afraid that the other side will not give us a chance to launch them."
"You mean he dares to steal our nuclear missiles?"
"Why not? Since he can easily steal even a target as big as an aircraft carrier, nuclear missiles are much smaller in comparison."
Extraordinary: "...Why is this person not an American..."
"Bah, what's so great about Americans, I don't care about them."
In the office on the top floor of the Daming Group headquarters, Zhao Ming looked at the meeting video sent by Pi Dan and said disdainfully.
Jingle Bell……
The intercom on the desk rang.
"Hello?"
"Boss, Mr. Wei has arrived."
"Okay, I'll be right away."
Ever since he learned that a certain country had sunk an aircraft carrier formation, Wei Jianguo immediately contacted Zhao Ming, saying that he missed him after not seeing him for a long time and wanted to come over and have a chat.
Zhao Ming readily agreed, as there happened to be something he needed to discuss with him.
The meeting location was an inconspicuous small conference room located in the middle of the headquarters building.
This conference room has no windows to the outside, only one table and two chairs, no cameras, and no recording equipment, so it is very private.
This is a special conference room specially set up by Zhao Ming at the request of Lao Wei.
The key to the conference room is kept by Captain Zhan, and no one can enter except Zhao Ming.
At this moment, Captain Zhan was standing guard at the door of the conference room. When he saw Zhao Ming coming, he didn't say anything and just opened the door silently.
Chapter completed!
