178, Fugu incident

An oil tanker loaded with crude oil departed from the port of Houston, Texas, and headed towards the Atlantic route via the Bahamas. On this oil tanker with a displacement of 10,000 tons, the very obvious T-shaped logo of the Guardian Group was spray-painted.

The name of the ship is also painted on the side of the ship - the Pufferfish.

On the bridge of the Pufferfish, Captain James looked into the distance with a telescope for a while, smiled and said to the first mate: "Okay kids! Say goodbye to Mother America! Tonight, except for the crew on duty, everyone will

A bottle of rum, if you don’t want to drink it, I’ll go wash the toilet!!”

"Hahahaha!" The sailors laughed and passed on the captain's instructions.

That night, on the wide deck of the oil tanker, high-power searchlights illuminated the ship. Dozens of sailors were singing and dancing with bottles of wine. The drunken first mate came down to perform a belly dance for everyone, and there was another group of sailors.

We simply played football on the deck.

"Captain! I heard you can make a lot of money from this job, right?" A sailor came over and said to the captain without getting up or down.

Captain James was drinking happily while holding a bottle of wine. "It is said that this is an urgent shipment. West Germany has an energy crisis and is in urgent need of this batch of high-quality crude oil! For this shipment of crude oil, West Germany opened a shipping container for us."

High price! Including the allowance given to us by the Guardian Group, conservatively estimated, each of us can earn 1,000 US dollars! Hahahaha!"

The eyes of several sailors around me were astonished, "$1,000!! Hahahaha, that's enough for me to find a girl in Dallas for a month! Hahahaha!!"

"Now that you know, then straighten your ass for me!! Keep an eye on me, don't let me hit the rocks!" the captain said drunkenly.

…

At the same time, in the Florida Strait, a dark submarine was floating on the water. The hull number was SSN-571, the USS Nautilus nuclear-powered submarine, belonging to the U.S. Navy.

In the narrow cabin, only dazzling red lights illuminated the surroundings, which was a sign that the submarine was in combat readiness. A messenger came to the bridge with a writing board and handed the writing board to the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Rondo, "

Your Excellency, Captain, the third communication has ended. The current coordinates are 81 degrees 0 minutes west longitude and 4 degrees 01 minutes north latitude. We have arrived at the predetermined position."

"Telegram to Guardian Group Director Tang Yu to confirm the attack target for the last time." Lieutenant Colonel Rondo said in a deep voice.

The messenger immediately recorded the order, turned around and went to the communication cabin. Soon, an encrypted telegram was sent.

Grand Canyon Base, owned by the Guardian Group, Colorado, USA.

A staff member handed the telegram to Tang Yu, "After receiving the telegram, the confidentiality level is the highest."

Tang Yu took the telegram and glanced at it. The photon computer in his mind had already completed the operation. His eyes flashed and he said: "Call back. The target will arrive at the predetermined area in two hours. We will proceed as planned. Encryption level, highest

."

The staff nodded and turned to leave.

Soon, the submarine Nautilus received the message. The captain, Lieutenant Colonel Rondo, waved his hand suddenly and said loudly: "The entire ship has entered the first level of combat status! Radio silence has begun!"

The messenger immediately passed on the order, and soon a shrill alarm sounded in the submarine, "The entire ship enters the first combat state! All personnel immediately enter combat positions! Repeat, the entire ship..."

Soon, Lieutenant Colonel Rondo continued to give the order, "Fill the main ballast tank with water! Dive immediately and calibrate the depth to 100 meters!"

"Fill the main ballast tank with water! Calibrate the depth to 100 meters!" The orderer immediately repeated the command, and a dull sound suddenly came from the submarine. As more and more seawater was injected, the submarine shook and began to sink.

"Dive to a depth of 0 meters!"

"0 meters!"

"40 meters!" The soldier at the console kept reporting the current reading.

"90 meters!"

"100 meters! Stop filling water!!"

"Report from the torpedo warehouse." Lieutenant Colonel Rondo said without looking back.

"Report the situation in the torpedo warehouse!" the orderer ordered. In the torpedo warehouse in front of the submarine, several sailors immediately inspected several special torpedoes placed next to the launch tube. The shells of these torpedoes were spray-painted with bright red five-pointed stars.

Shockingly, they are all Soviet-made Type 5-51 thermal powered torpedoes!!

"The torpedo warehouse is normal!" Soon the sailors completed the final inspection of the torpedo and came back with the order.

"Torpedo tubes No. 1 to No. 6 are all loaded with special torpedoes!"

"Torpedo tubes one to six are loaded with special torpedoes!"

"Loading complete!"

"Stop moving forward! The whole ship enters a silent state! Turn on the active sonar!" Following Captain Rondo's order, the entire submarine was silent. All the crew members held their breath and stood motionless at their combat positions. For a moment,

Only the faint tinkling sound of active sonar echoed around.

As the first nuclear-powered submarine in the United States and even the world, and adopting the name of the legendary submarine in a famous science fiction novel, the crew of the Nautilus are the elite of the U.S. Navy. When they enter combat mode, they can even continuously

Don't make a sound all day long!

About two hours later, a signal came from the sonar! The sonar monitor immediately took a writing board and wrote a line of words and handed it to the order officer, who handed the writing board to the captain.

"Launch tube No. 1, launch!" Lieutenant Colonel Rondo gave the order. The two launch tubes in front of the submarine immediately ejected a large number of bubbles, and then two Soviet-made 5-51 torpedoes suddenly shot out!

"Float to the calibration 0 meter! Then, launch tube No. 4 launches!!"

The submarine immediately began to rise, and when it reached a depth of 0 meters, another two torpedoes were fired from the front!

"Raise the periscope!"

"Raise the periscope!" A small periscope poked out from the water, observing the behemoth ahead. On the side of the target, the logo of the Guardian Group, the Pufferfish tanker, was spray-painted!

…

Even when the torpedo had been launched, the tanker Pufferfish was still full of singing and dancing. The more than 100 crew members on the ship had no idea that death had come and catastrophe was right in front of them!

An observer on duty was chewing chicken legs and looking into the distance with a telescope. Suddenly he saw two long white objects approaching at high speed under the water! The observer didn't realize what they were for a while, and he murmured

"What is this? A shark?"

Hearing his words, an old sailor next to him was startled, "What did you say?" He snatched the telescope with his hand. When he saw it clearly, he who had served in the Navy during World War II suddenly felt like a big hand.

Grasp your heart hard!

In addition to fear, he shouted hysterically: "Torpedoes!!! There are torpedoes!!!!!!"

However, no one among the crew members who were singing, dancing and drinking heard his cry. He threw away the binoculars and ran towards the deck! However, before he could run a few steps, he only heard a loud bang! Then the whole ship violently

The ground jumped up, throwing the elderly crewman away! At the same time, in the huge explosion, the middle of the tanker was suddenly blown up!

Flames and black smoke suddenly billowed out, and countless black crude oil was exploded into the sky dozens of meters high. Suddenly, a black rain began to fall in the entire area! Almost at the moment of the explosion, the crew members who were having fun on the deck burst into flames.

There were heavy casualties. The captain was hit by a flying oil drum and died instantly!

The sea of ​​​​fire suddenly spread into the sky, and a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin from the underwater gap. The entire tanker began to capsize at a speed visible to the naked eye! However, the attackers had no intention of leaving any room. Two minutes later, two more

A torpedo was fired at high speed, and the completely paralyzed tanker had no chance of evading it!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!! In the explosion of the torpedo, the oil tanker's fuel tank exploded immediately. The huge explosion even blew the ship into two pieces! Countless seawater poured in from the fracture, and the Pufferfish tanker was destroyed within a few minutes.

It sank into the icy Caribbean Sea! None of the 11 crew members survived!

Observing this tragic hell scene through the periscope, the rock-like face of Lieutenant Colonel Rondo, captain of the Nautilus nuclear submarine, remained cold and unwavering. This is the minimum quality of a soldier.

"Retract the periscope, calibrate the diving depth to 50 meters, full left rudder 45 degrees, and move forward at full speed!" He gave the order coldly.

…

At the Grand Canyon Base, a confidential telegram was sent again. Tang Yu read the telegram and said to the staff: "Start the investigation process immediately, find the torpedo fragments as soon as possible, and the pensions for the sacrificed crew members... will be distributed at 10 times the standard."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and took a deep breath.

Huh! A pair of extremely sharp bone claws pressed against his chest. Tang Yu opened his eyes, and what he saw was Wolverine's angry expression!

"In order to achieve your goal! You actually sacrificed more than 100 innocent crew members!!!" Wolverine roared.

"Yes." Tang Yu replied calmly.

"Tell me a reason why I won't kill you now!!" Wolverine looked like his hair and beard were all growing, and the hairs were blowing up angrily, like steel needles.

"Let the U.S. regular army directly invade Cuba and then provoke a full-scale war between the United States and the Soviet Union, or wait for the Soviet missiles to fall on the United States? Or, sacrifice these 100 people and give me a reason to use the robot army to intervene in the war.

You make your own choice." Tang Yu said expressionlessly, "There is still time, because as long as no fragments of Soviet torpedoes are found, the third scenario will not happen, and will be replaced by the first two."

"You!!" Wolverine was about to have a seizure, but he put down his hands in frustration, "What's the difference between you and Sita! They are both driving civilians to die for you!!"

"Of course there is a difference, because I am not doing this for myself." Tang Yu replied.

Wolverine pushed Tang Yu against the wall, cut the computer in front of him to pieces with a swish, turned and walked towards the door, "After the operation in Cuba is over, you and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore!!" (Unfinished)
