Just two days after Independence Day, Japeer's mood returned to Antarctica from the tropical region.

In a poll released yesterday, Japeer's approval rating dropped to 27%, and the Democratic Party's approval rating dropped to 32%. The Democratic hawks led by Myers publicly asked Japeer to pass the Economic Relief Act, which was voted in Congress last week, to increase the Democratic Party's support rate, improve the Democratic Party's image, and to attract more votes for the midterm elections.

Myers took the lead in rebellion, indicating that the Democrats were abandoning Japeer.

Faced with the "crisis of trust" from the country and within the party, even if Jia Peier does not consider the future, he still has to consider the reputation. He has two years left in office, and he does not want to become the first president to be impeached after Nixon.

The "crisis of trust" from abroad made Jia Peier feel even more uncomfortable.

The Indian aircraft carrier was sunk and it was actually related to the United States!

Before receiving the call from Santos, Japeer only knew that the Indian aircraft carrier was attacked by an unidentified submarine, but he did not know that an American submarine was operating near the Indian aircraft carrier battle group and was also attacked by Indian anti-submarine warships.

It was not until 3 a.m. Eastern Time on the 6th, about twelve hours after the attack on the Indian aircraft carrier, Japeer obtained relevant information from national security adviser Eric. After the "New Hampshire" left the Bay of Bengal, he followed the traces of the mysterious submarine and went to the Octave Strait.

Of course, things are not that simple.

Before being attacked by Indian anti-submarine warships, the New Hampshire discovered the unknown submarine and heard the sound of the submarine opening the outer cover of the torpedo tube and launching the torpedo. It also fired a torpedo that had not been lifted from the warhead insurance, forcing it to float on the surface of the Shanghai surface or accelerate its navigation, making even louder noise. Unfortunately, when the mysterious submarine accelerated to avoid the torpedo, the New Hampshire was intensively attacked by deep-water bombs. It failed to record the characteristic noise of the mysterious submarine. Instead, it was blown off the photoelectric periscope by a deep bomb and almost sunk by the Indian Navy.

"Is there any evidence to prove that it was not the 'New Hampshire' that attacked the Indian aircraft carrier?"

"There is. The New Hampshire recorded the sound of the submarine when it launched a torpedo. This is the most powerful evidence." Eric replied in a sure way.

"Contact Digo Garcia base immediately. Get first-hand information as soon as possible." Japeer rubbed his forehead. "I contact Santos directly. I must let India know that we have nothing to do with the sinking of Indian aircraft carriers."

Eric nodded. He came to report this matter, hoping to resolve the conflict with India as soon as possible.

"In addition, who ordered to use torpedoes to attack submarines in other countries?"

"This..." Eric hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Secretary of Defense Gates."

"Gates?" Japeer's face changed immediately. "Don't he know this is an act of war?"

"Gates just wanted to figure out who sank the Destroyer. In the circumstances at that time, the submarine could only be forced to speed up its navigation by launching torpedoes, making noise enough to be recorded."

"Absurd, it's simply ridiculous!" Japeer was angry. Any act of war requires the president's authorization, and the Minister of Defense has no authority to issue fire orders to the submarines.

"Anyway, our goal has been achieved."

"What does it mean?" Japeer controlled his emotions. Now he needed to solve the problem, not to create the problem.

Eric hesitated for a moment and said, "Wesley knows this more clearly than I do."

"Cia's Deputy Director of Intelligence?"

Eric nodded. "I learned about the situation from him, too."

Without hesitation, Japeer immediately picked up the phone and ordered the secretary: "Contact the Marines immediately and ask them to send a helicopter to take Wesley over."

Half an hour later, Wesley took the "Marrior One" to the White House.

Facing the president, this intelligence officer who had "served" several presidents did not look nervous at all.

"We analyzed what happened before and after the "Fighter" was sunk." Wesley was very professional and tried to be objective and fair when introducing the situation. "Under the situation at that time, the submarine attacking the "Fighter" was likely to launch torpedoes at 20 kilometers or even further away. 16k novel wàp. The first launch of the text version was an electric torpedo with very low noise. After succeeding, the submarine headed south at full speed and left the key search area of ​​the anti-submarine patrol aircraft. According to the arrival time of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft and the search path analysis, the speed of the submarine when retreating was close to thirty knots, at least not less than twenty-four knots. Therefore, the submarine is not a conventional submarine, nor is it a submarine of the Pakistani Navy."

"Why?" Japeer wanted to know more clearly.

"Because the maximum underwater speed of all conventional submarines in the world is around twenty knots, and they sail at maximum speeds of up to two to four hours."

Japeer nodded slightly and signaled Wesley to continue.

"From the motivation, China is the most suspicious. But at the time of the incident, all China's attack nuclear submarines were in the Western Pacific, and it was impossible to attack the "Destroyer".

"Wesley, what the hell do you want to say?"

"Combining these two situations, we can draw a conclusion." Wesley still looked like he was not impatient or slow. "It is not a conventional submarine, not a Chinese attack nuclear submarine, with a maximum underwater navigation speed of nearly thirty knots. From this, it can be concluded that this is an all-electric submarine."

"All-electric submarine?" Japeer frowned.

"A submarine powered by a battery, propelled by a motor."

"I understand this, but what's the point?" Jia Peier didn't want to bother with technical issues.

After a brief pause, Wesley said, "There is only one country in the world that has the ability to build all-electric submarines that do not use nuclear reactors, diesel engines, and have performance close to or even exceed nuclear submarines."

"Are you talking about China?" Eric asked immediately.

Jia Peier was shocked and immediately understood. China is the only country in the world that can produce composite batteries and superconducting motors. "In other words, China is the most suspicious?"

Wesley nodded again. "After excluding all other possibilities, it is also true that the rest is hard to believe."

"How powerful are China's all-electric submarines?" Eric asked a question he was most interested in.

"This..." Wesley hesitated for a moment, "So, if China has fourteen such submarines, all our strategic nuclear submarines will become decorations. If China has twenty-five such submarines, not only our strategic nuclear submarines will become decorations, but eleven aircraft carrier battle groups will also be fatally threatened. Now, we do not have the performance of any submarine above it."

Not only Eric was shocked, but even Japeer was shocked.

"Actually, we should have expected all this five years ago." After saying that, Wesley glanced at the National Security Advisor.

Japeer immediately understood. "Eric, can you let me talk to Director Wesley alone?"

Eric was very sensible and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

After the door was closed, Japeer turned off the monitoring equipment in the room, but did not turn off the monitoring equipment.

"Your Excellency the President, you haven't forgotten what happened five years ago?"

"Wesley, just say whatever you have." Japeer didn't want to beat around the bush with the Deputy Director of Intelligence.

"We have enough reason to believe that China's breakthroughs in high-temperature superconducting materials and composite battery technologies are directly related to the mysterious object that disappeared five years ago."

"You mean, the mysterious items fell into China's hands?"

Wesley nodded, it was obvious.

"Evidence, is there any direct evidence?" Jia Peier dared not make a conclusion.

"We spent decades of researching high-temperature superconducting materials at Mikel Air Force Base, commonly known as District 51, but the progress has been very slow and have not achieved substantial gains so far. In any case, China's research on high-temperature superconducting materials will not be longer than us, nor will it be higher than us. Isn't it doubtful that China's sudden release of research results three years ago? District 51 scientists basically concluded that Chinese technology has a direct relationship with mysterious objects missing five years ago." Wesley said very quickly, giving Jiapeer almost no time to think. "The mass-energy ratio of composite batteries used in electric vehicles reaches 2 kilograms of kilograms, which is 16% of the calorific value of gasoline combustion. The mass-energy ratio of military models is definitely more than twice as high as that of civilian models, and can be used to build fully electric submarines."

Japeer didn't argue about this issue anymore and asked again: "How long will it take for us to make a breakthrough?"

"If the funds are sufficient, it will take as long as three years."

"Three years?" Jia Peier's head suddenly became big. Three years later, he would no longer be the president.

"Civil models can be put on the market within two years, but the price is definitely much more expensive than Chinese products. Military models with twice the performance of civilian models will be developed at the fastest three years later. If you encounter unexpected technical bottlenecks, it may take longer."

"You submit a detailed report as soon as possible and I will try to solve the funding problem."

"In addition to funds, we still lack the most critical conditions."

"What?" Japeer was very annoyed. Are intelligence personnel used to just saying half of the words?

"Type." Wesley knew that the president did not understand technology, so he tried to put it simple. "The composite batteries and superconducting motors that China put into the civil market use nano-packaging technology, and we cannot use reverse engineering to imitate them, or even dismantle and analyze them. Perhaps military models will not adopt this packaging technology that is difficult to maintain and maintain, but will adopt an open architecture. If physical objects can be obtained, our development work will be able to make breakthroughs in the short term."

"I don't think China will sell military-grade composite batteries and superconducting motors, right?"

"It's beyond doubt." Wesley shrugged his shoulders, "we don't expect to get it through formal channels, either."

"You mean..."

"The Indian-Pakistan War has created opportunities for us. Just send a special force to get a chance to obtain a physical object at the military level."

Japeer's brow jumped quickly a few times. The method proposed by Wesley is feasible and also has great risks.
