"Report, I seem to have found some incredible information."
After checking the satellite picture again, an officer on duty stood up excitedly.
"What's the situation, my Mr. Major? Is there any news that's worth making a fuss about?"
"Mr. Colonel, please see if this is the same information that was forwarded from above a few months ago. Consistent!”
The colonel leaned down and checked the satellite pictures with a suspicious look on his face.
"You mean, it might be an attached ship of the Eagle? But how did you confirm it with this resolution?"
The image on the satellite picture is very small, and after enlarging it, it can only be confirmed that it is a warship, barely. Seeing the outline, it was impossible to confirm whose ship it was.
"Mr. Colonel, you have forgotten that I have served in the fleet for three years. I can confirm our ship with my eyes closed. This is definitely our ship."
"Are you sure? "The colonel is still a little doubtful. There is no way. The area where the ship is located is too weird. It is at the junction of the two parties. Well, it is actually within the range of the other party, but it is very close to the high seas.
"I confirm, my colonel, all we need now is radio contact to confirm."
The colonel hesitated for a while and shrugged, "I think the next time a high-definition satellite passes by, we should take a clearer picture. My major, this area is very sensitive. I don't believe that our fleet will be so brainless." Knowing that this will cause confrontation between the two major powers, we must be responsible for the accuracy of our intelligence."
"But Mr. Colonel, the next satellite passing should be more than an hour later. If the other party discovers it, this will happen. It's not a simple diplomatic dispute, you know what I mean."
The colonel held his chin and thought nervously, then put down his hand after a while, "Dear Mr. Major, I am touched by your persistence, indeed. It's very dangerous. I'll report it now and let them confirm it."
"Damn it, are you telling the truth?"
"Mr. Minister, it's absolutely true. The satellite is in the air. Our frigate was discovered in the waters near Deomede Island. The photos sent by the Coast Guard reconnaissance aircraft ten minutes ago have confirmed that it is the Sea Lion frigate of the Eagle aircraft carrier group. I swear this is true."
"Let me calm down, my dear Mr. Colonel, this island should be in the territorial waters of Big Goose."
"Yes, Mr. Minister, this damn island is deserted, but it is indeed far away from us." The range is a little far away, and Big Goose’s patrol ship will soon find them.”
The minister rubbed his confused head, it was incredible, after the Eagle’s attached ship was discovered in Bermuda last time. This time, an aircraft carrier's auxiliary ship actually appeared in the Bering Strait. This is the northwest tip of North America. The sea area it spans is a bit too far. How did it get here.
But these are not important now. What is important is that the ship is now in the other party's territorial waters. Although it is very close to the high seas area in the middle, it has indeed entered the other party's territorial waters. Damn it, this is an absolute fact. It's a big trouble to buckle, and what's even more dangerous is that the goose may find it at any time.
The minister thought about it for two minutes, then quickly grabbed the black phone on the table and made a call.
"That's it, Mr. President, for some unknown reason, this auxiliary ship appeared in the other party's territorial waters and is on the other party's patrol line. It may be discovered at any time, and of course it may have already been discovered."
" Have you contacted the ship? Why is this happening? Why do you have to provoke the damn bear?"
"Mr. President, the ship did not respond to our radio response. I wonder if it is the same as last time. The soldier is still in a coma."
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and soon a sound of gnashing teeth came again. "Dear Secretary, I don't care what method you use, the ship and all personnel must return to the great United States, and Mao Xiong must not be allowed to get any information about the Eagle!"
After a few months, The Pentagon was in chaos again, but this time it was more serious. Emergency meetings were being held, and warships rushed to the Bering Strait one after another.
"Captain, it has been confirmed that it is the other ship." A big goose patrol ship was ordered to quickly approach the island, and the officer on duty reported.
The captain put down the telescope and said, "Notify the coastal troops that we will speed up and arrive at the designated sea area in twenty minutes. We need reinforcements. The other party is a frigate, which we cannot deal with."
"Yes!"
The captain picked up the telescope again and looked into the distance. Unfortunately, the radar could detect the target, but it was still invisible to the naked eye.
"Captain, feedback from the coast, the nearest ship is being ordered to come for reinforcements, requiring us to stop this frigate and prevent it from escaping back."
Fifteen minutes later, the captain put down the telescope and looked at the frigate in the distance in surprise. The other party had the courage to offend the majesty of the goose, blatantly broke through the safe sea area and entered his own sphere of influence. You can see it, but it doesn't seem to be leaving, which is unusual.
“Has the other side’s ship not responded yet?”
“No, the radar shows that it has been almost half an hour since we discovered it, and the other side does not seem to have moved, and has maintained radio silence. , no radio signals were found from them, which is very abnormal."
"It is very abnormal, my major, but one thing is for sure, the other party has offended the majesty of the empire, and we cannot let it leave. , it must pay for its unreasonableness.”
“Yes, Captain”
The ship continued to move towards the island on the sea that had not completely melted. "Full right rudder, seize the south, cut off its retreat. Now that it is here, let it stay."
The captain was very determined, Although your own ships are no match for the frigates, they must stay behind against all visiting enemies.
"Yes." The messenger quickly gave the order. The patrol ship was not as big as the frigate. It was no match for one on one, so it could only cut off its retreat and wait for reinforcements.
This is the Bering Strait, a high-latitude area that leads directly to the Arctic Ocean. As the cold seawater from the Arctic Ocean continues to gush southward, the seawater in the Bering Strait will also freeze, seriously affecting navigation.
This extreme low temperature condition makes the Bering Strait basically incapable of ship navigation, so except for the occasional patrol ship, there are very few ships passing here. It is September now, although the traffic situation is better. But under normal circumstances, no ships can pass through, so an unexpected frigate quickly attracted the attention of the Big Goose Coast Radar.
The ice on the sea has not completely melted, and the patrol ship is not traveling smoothly, but the other party has been strangely not moving, showing no signs of escaping, until its retreat was completely cut off, and the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, the duty officer’s report made him nervous again.
"Report Captain, to our west, four Bald Eagle ships are approaching quickly and are expected to arrive in one hour and fifty minutes."
"Where are our ships?"
"It will take about two hours." "Damn, they were far away, and they came faster than us. It seems that this frigate must have malfunctioned and could not move, so it took the initiative to seek assistance. Otherwise, it would be very difficult. It’s hard to explain why they came so quickly.”
Not to mention that both sides tried their best to rush to the scene. The soldiers on the frigate woke up one by one. They were still wearing the same military uniforms they had when they set off last spring. They were all shivering from the cold. Many of them were severely frostbitten and had no time to care. Come to this ghost place and quickly launch the ship.
Frostbite caused serious non-combat attrition. The ship that had restored its functions quickly figured out its location and made contact with the rear. It also discovered that the other party's patrol ship was already guarding the channel it was going to lead to. on the line.
"What the hell, what happened? One moment we were fighting the wind and waves in Bermuda, and the next moment we were in this hellish place, who can tell me!" the captain roared loudly.
"Captain, you need to calm down. The other party has cut off our retreat. Now Peanutton tells us to retreat with all our strength, and we must retreat to the nearest Wales."
"Then what are you waiting for? Get out quickly. The other party is a patrol boat and can't stop us." As a professional soldier, the captain knew that he was in a bad situation and quickly issued an order. As for the rest, he had to leave before talking.
"Report, the other side's ships have appeared in the south. The radar shows that four warships are approaching and are expected to arrive in one hour."
The captain's heart tightened and he had to use all his strength to escape. If this happened Being surrounded and facing the fate of being captured is something that the invincible Eagle Fleet will never tolerate.
However, contrary to expectations, after staying on the sea for a long time, the ice has formed around the ship again. It is unrealistic to escape quickly. Breaking the ice will seriously reduce the speed of the ship.
"Captain, the other party has moved. They are trying to run away. Our reinforcements have not arrived yet."
Big Goose's patrol ship discovered something unusual, and the frigate that had been silent moved, trying to escape. Although I have cut off its best escape route, I still can't keep it without help.
"Report to the base and ask for instructions on whether we will fire if the other party escapes. At the same time, call the frigates and ask them to indicate their intentions, stop their actions, shut down their engines, and accept our inspection."
The messenger quickly He followed the order and came back to report soon, "The other party stated that they were sailing normally in public waters and did not enter our territorial waters. They asked us to get out of the way."
The captain smiled, this is a bald eagle The usual trick is to sometimes say that you have deviated from the channel and rake it backwards.
“Get ready to fight!”
Unable to wait for the firing order, the captain decided to fire directly, making sure to entangle the opponent and let his reinforcements rush to the scene.
As the frigate broke through the ice and approached the channel, and the patrol ship had all its firepower aimed at it, further instructions were finally sent.
“You are not allowed to fire first, you can ram it to force the opponent to stop.”
“Captain, what should we do now? Mosco won’t let us fire and let us ram. These gentlemen want to What? Our ship is of small tonnage, and we are the only ones who will suffer from the collision!"
The captain looked at the frigate getting closer and spoke again, "Execute the order, do not fire until the other party fires, the other party! If you get close, hit with all your strength!”
The captain's face was ashen. He was not an ordinary soldier. He understood the orders from his superiors, but as a soldier, he felt uncomfortable.
A day later at the Pentagon, the secretary stood in front of the president frustrated.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President, we have tried our best. Now we have been in confrontation for a day and a night, and there is no possibility of escape."
"Where are our ships now?" The president seemed to have already thought about it. Be prepared. Although his face looked ugly, he still asked in a calm tone.
“They are all on the high seas and close to their side. We cannot blatantly enter their territorial waters. This will cause a war.”
"How far is the frigate from the high seas? Can it still move?"
"In less than two nautical miles, the frigate broke through the ice and collided with the opponent's patrol boat many times, and was seriously damaged. If it keeps not firing, there will be no more ability to break through the opponent's blockage."
"The opponent has not fired, which shows that they are very restrained, but as long as we fire, the responsibility for provoking the war will only be ours, which will make us very passive."< br>
"But Mr. President, there is one thing you need to consider. Death in battle is the highest honor for a soldier. Failure to escape and lead to capture will lead to the leakage of information..."
"I understand, these Great warriors must not fall into their hands, but we cannot bear the responsibility of starting a war.”
The president was troubled as to why he was so unlucky. In less than a year, first the president was assassinated, and then he lost his entire fleet. He worked hard to suppress the news.
Now he is directly confronting his opponent with force, and it is getting more difficult every time. This is not something he can bear alone. Damn it, why did he agree to participate in the election as a deputy in the first place? If he could do it all over again, he would definitely give up. .
“Let’s call a meeting. I need everyone’s wisdom and the support of more people.”
Ten days later, Zhu Xuefeng, who was far away in Eastern Europe, counted the time and came to the library. There should be big news in the country, but there was no news on the radio here. He could only look for newspapers.
As a result, I didn't see the news about "Ms. Qiu", but I unexpectedly found a piece of news reprinted from the Peanutton Post a few days ago: A bald eagle warship was patrolling the Bering Strait. It hit an ice floe at night, malfunctioned and caused it to yaw, and finally became incapacitated in the Bering Strait.
Just when the entire crew of the ship was in a huge crisis due to severe cold, Da Mao's patrol ship discovered the Bald Eagle warship in crisis. Out of humanitarianism, Da Mao provided selfless rescue.
Both parties worked together and fought together to overcome the harsh environment. After four days and four nights, all the crew of the ship finally got out of the predicament. In order to thank Da Mao for his selfless assistance, Bald Eagle paid 40 million US dollars to express his gratitude. .
Newspapers praised the spirit of humanitarian relief at length. This rescue embodies respect for life, selfless dedication and deep sympathy for human suffering.
Praised that the core of humanitarian relief lies in respecting every life. Regardless of nationality, race, belief or social status, everyone should receive equal care and assistance.
It’s interesting. Zhu Xuefeng quickly checked the newspapers published recently in various countries. Not surprisingly, many newspapers reprinted this news, and many newspapers praised this spirit.
"Can it still be like this?" Zhu Xuefeng was a little surprised. The wisdom of politicians was indeed something he couldn't understand. Bald Eagle actually used this method to resolve such a big crisis. Although it cost a lot of money, it left the world with two sides. The impression of collaboration.
