In the early morning of the seventh day, although he was on a submarine with no time rules, Canglong's biological clock still allowed him to rest on time and wake up on time.
A seven-day voyage was nothing to the sailors on these submarines, but what they didn't expect was that Soryu and the other landlubbers didn't overreact at all.
During these seven days, neither the sailors nor the members of Team B had any contact with each other. From the moment they entered the submarine, they seemed to have maintained their duties. They did not ask why they got on the submarine or what they were sent to the United States for. , all of them performed their duties conscientiously and carried out the orders from above.
But traveling through the Pacific Ocean is very dangerous, because this is a 096-class strategic guided nuclear submarine. Once detected by the Americans, they may quickly attack them, because at this time they are less than 500 meters away from the west coast of the United States. Kilometers, the nuclear weapons on the submarine can easily reach any corner of the United States.
However, sending a nuclear submarine to transport them close to the west coast of the United States is enough to prove the importance of this mission. You must know that general tasks are to dispatch conventional submarines or transport-type submarines without the possibility of being discovered without a lot of effort. , and cause some friction with the US military, but only nuclear submarines have the endurance to reach the west coast of the United States, and conventional submarines cannot do it at all.[
After the end of the Cold War, the area from Guam, close to Taiwan, to the west coast of the United States is the United States' sphere of influence. All countries have agreed that although Chinese submarines often break through this area and enter here, most of them are conventional submarines. Even if the Americans detect Even if the test is detected, they will always turn a blind eye.
But nuclear submarines are completely different. If it is a long distance, it is easy to say that the Americans will negotiate with high-level Chinese officials at most. But if it is 500 kilometers away from the west coast of the United States, it is completely different. The Americans may not make any negotiations and directly deal with them. Fire, this is already an extremely dangerous distance.
Especially since Chinese submarines often appear within the cruising range of US aircraft carriers, which always frightens the Americans, the Americans have become even more aggressive in this area. Therefore, in recent years, the Americans have requested to establish an agreement with China. The contact point is to facilitate negotiations in case of a misfire.
Along the way, this submarine encountered many American submarines, even Japanese and Russian submarines, but they did not conduct symbolic tracking, but directly avoided it. In the past, they might have tracked it. Some technical information about these submarines, but their mission today is not to track them.
But to expose their position, otherwise the U.S. Pacific Fleet will beat them into pieces. Even nuclear submarines will not be willing to engage in a real confrontation with the most powerful fleet in the world. After all, this is not a war period, even if it is a war During this period, even if a nuclear submarine penetrated deep into the heart of the U.S. Navy's sphere of influence, it would not do such a thing.
Although the captain did not give them a specific scope of activities, they still abide by the default rules. Nuclear submarines are an important military secret of a country, so it is a wise choice not to wander around, especially for a person of his status.
After he woke up, Xiami got up next. He was not as sleepy as ordinary people. When he woke up, he was not much different from normal people. For them, getting a good night's sleep is a kind of enjoyment, and they can even stretch out. It's luxurious.
"It seems that your training intensity in the past is no worse than ours." Xiami said when he saw Canglong sitting on the bed and meditating.
Canglong didn't say anything, just glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to meditate, so in the lounge, there was only the sound of the submarine's instruments "beeping" from time to time.
"The old man may not have thought that I would rely on you to maintain Teko's existence in the end." Xiami thought to himself, "Isn't this a kind of irony?"
"It's just cooperation to get what each of us needs." Canglong said calmly.
The reason why Xiami joined Team B is because the 15th Military Intelligence Bureau is the continuation of Special Branch. For him, the previous Special Branch was just a different name. And it has to be said that the old man did not misunderstand Li Ruomo, but He misjudged Cang Long.
"Cooperation." Xiami paused and said, "I don't know what price Li Ruomo paid to be able to invite you."
"It's not about betraying national interests anyway." Canglong said.
"I trust her on this point." Xiami seemed to know Li Ruomo very well, "You don't have a crush on her, right?"
Canglong was stunned by the sudden question. He wanted to deny it for a moment, but he still held back and just smiled and said nothing.
"It's not a shame to like her. At least none of the former members of Team B didn't like her. But everyone knows that Ruo Mo is a difficult woman to touch. She is a rose with thorns." Xiami thought of himself. Said.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. A sailor said at the door that the captain had something to do with them. Xiami glanced at Canglong and was about to say something, but Canglong said: "Let's go together."
So, under the leadership of the sailor, the two came to the control room of the submarine. The captain was a man who was almost forty years old, and he was full of the unique charm of a middle-aged man. When he saw the two people arriving, he first asked Their level, after learning that Canglong was the leader, he said to Canglong: "It's about 400 kilometers away from the west coast of the United States. We can only send you to 50 kilometers from the west coast. You have to swim the remaining 50 kilometers by yourself. , there is no danger in offshore waters, I believe it should not be difficult for you to avoid the US Coast Guard."[
"Yes." Canglong nodded, "After our mission is completed, you can meet us at any point we request."
"It's also fifty kilometers away from the coastline. As long as you don't mess with the US Navy, we can come up to the surface to meet you." The captain nodded.
Hearing this, Xiami and Canglong looked at each other. They didn't know whether they would offend the US Navy, but they knew that there would definitely be a big fuss this time. However, neither of them had any unnecessary expressions. Xiami asked: " When can we arrive at the scheduled location? After the mission is completed, how can you quickly get to the location we requested, because we can't go back the same way we came."
"Tonight around twelve o'clock, you can arrive at the scheduled location. It is exactly midnight when you arrive in the United States, so you have five hours to enter the United States under the cover of night. The rest is up to you. Waiting for you After completing the mission, you can send us a message through the encrypted channel. The message band number and password are" the captain said, but there was a little worry on his face. He knew very well what kind of danger a group of special forces would encounter when entering the United States. , this is not like them in the ocean.
Although there are American submarines everywhere, this is a peaceful time, and as long as it does not threaten the real interests of the United States, nothing major will happen.
The two of them naturally saw the captain's worries, but Xiami said: "Don't worry, you can enter here through layers of anti-submarine nets in the Pacific Ocean, and we are not vegetarians."
The captain nodded and saluted Canglong and the two with a standard military salute. At the same time, other people in the control room also followed the captain in saluting them. From the eyes of the sailors, one could feel that they felt that Canglong was like this. It is impossible for a small group of people to come back, although the sailors don't know what mission Soryu and others are performing.
Canglong naturally felt it, but when these sailors were saluting him, he felt some strange emotions in his heart. This kind of emotion had never happened before, but he remembered Xue Bao's words, soldiers There is no need for too much politeness, a military salute can express everything.
After the ceremony, everyone went to work in a well-trained manner, but just when Canglong and Xiami were about to leave, suddenly there was a voice from the control room: "This is the sonar room, a large area of reflected waves was found, the direction is 047, Assign an automatic tracker and it may be possible to track a submarine."
Hearing this, everyone in the control room suddenly became a little nervous. This is already the offshore area of the United States. Traveling here is not as easy as Fan Primary School and the others said. Sometimes if something goes wrong, it may be detected.
"Stay torpedo alert, control the volume of the entire ship to the lowest level, and prepare torpedoes No. 1 to 4 in the weapons room." The captain calmly gave the order, and the entire ship was mobilized.
A few minutes later, another voice came from the sonar room: "It is definitely a submarine, detection point 28, the optimal depth for evasion is 831 feet."
After hearing this, the captain thought for a few seconds and said: "Increase to standard speed, turn left rudder 270, and dive quickly to a depth of 1,200 feet."
Under the command of the captain, the submarine quickly began to dive. A few minutes later, a voice came from the sonar room: "The type of submarine detected is an American Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine, bearing 196. They don't seem to have discovered us."
When they heard about the Seawolf-class attack submarine, everyone in the control room had a bad expression. The Seawolf-class attack submarine is the most difficult conventional submarine in the United States and the most expensive submarine in the world. The purpose of its birth is to deal with former submarines. Although the Soviet submarine is the latest 096 strategic nuclear submarine, its speed is comparable to that of the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine. However, if it is bitten by a Seawolf near the coast of the United States, this mission will be impossible. After executing it, the best option is to leave quickly.
The captain still said calmly: "Dive at a five-degree angle and keep silent. Our purpose is not to play with him, but to avoid him. We can't let him find us. Listen clearly. This is not a normal training subject. Everyone is here." Be alert for me."
Hearing this, Xiami and Canglong understood something. If they were not on the submarine, it is estimated that these sailors would definitely have a lot of fun with the Seawolf-class submarine, and they might even initiate provocations.
"The enemy ship disappeared." Ten minutes later, the sound finally came from the sonar room, and everyone in the control room breathed a sigh of relief.
The captain repeated again: "Everyone, stay vigilant. We are now on the coast of the United States. We have a mission and we cannot let them discover us."
After finishing speaking, he saw that Canglong and the two were still in the control room. They were about to say something when suddenly a voice came from the sonar room: "Alarm, torpedo position 241 was found in the water. The sea wolf has discovered us and is launching an attack. The second torpedo position was found. 242."
For a moment, the expressions of everyone in the control room changed. The captain immediately picked up the wire and ordered: "Full left rudder, full speed ahead."
"This is the sonar room. The torpedo is 3,000 yards away from us and is approaching."[
"Advance at top speed, the entire ship is sounding a collision alarm." A dazzling red light suddenly flashed inside the submarine.
The report from the sonar room made everyone sweat. After all, this is not a game. Once hit by a torpedo, they will all be buried at the bottom of the sea. Moreover, this is not the offshore sea of China, but the offshore coast of the United States. .
"Five hundred yards, approaching rapidly." The sonar monitor's voice was a little nervous.
"Launch anti-torpedo decoys, turn left rudder, and move forward at full speed." the captain ordered.
"Three hundred yards rapidly approaching."
"Prepare for impact." the captain informed the entire ship.
But at this moment, the sonar room suddenly reported: "The first torpedo chased the bait, and the second torpedo was approaching, very close."
There was a dull "buzz" explosion, shaking the entire submarine. The sailors immediately grabbed what they could grab around, but this was not the most deadly, because the first torpedo did not explode close to the submarine, but It was tracking an anti-torpedo decoy, but the second torpedo exploded close to the submarine.
With a "buzz", most of the sailors in the control room were knocked down. Even Xiami and Canglong almost fell to the ground out of control. The instruments flashed, and the entire submarine seemed to explode, full of panic. And with the dull breath, everyone's heartbeats accelerated from time to time.
However, a few minutes later, the submarine finally sailed out of the shaking core and finally calmed down. The captain took a deep breath, took the wire and said quickly: "The entire unit reports the damage."
After saying that, the captain looked at Canglong and the two and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Very close to death." Canglong didn't hesitate, and Xiami nodded.
