Sea Wolf's attack had just ended, and the captain received a damage report. There was a fire in the kitchen, and the fire was rapidly expanding. The pressure chamber began to become unstable, and the air pressure in the submarine began to rise. The entire hull may be in danger, and in the end What is worrying is that in the second impact, several sailors were injured due to the violent impact.
After asking the rescue team to quickly go down to put out the fire, the captain immediately handed over the command to the deputy captain and went to the infirmary. Canglong and Xiami also followed, but in the infirmary they got an unexpected news. The good news is that several of the injured sailors were fine, but one of them died of suffocation due to unstable pressure in the submarine due to the violent impact.
In addition, he was obese and had high blood pressure. After a few minutes of resuscitation, he was declared dead. This made Xiami feel a little incredible, but the captain told them: "Being a soldier in a submarine is risking your life, especially in the deep sea." Once attacked, death can occur at any time, even if the submarine is not destroyed."
Both Xiami and Canglong felt that life was so fragile. Even during the explosion just now, they could not control their violent trembling. Compared with the submarine, the ocean, and the explosion of the torpedo, they all felt It's too fragile, no matter how rigorously trained it is.
From the captain's silent expression later, they could see that he was not willing to give in. Perhaps it was not because he was afraid of being discovered by sea wolves. It was estimated that this submarine would never travel in this sea in an extremely dangerous way, but the captain did not Blame them, the sailors don't blame them, they have taken death lightly.[
Ever since China had a submarine force, sacrifices have been commonplace. This is true in any country. However, it will not be reported unless it causes a serious accident.
For example, more than a dozen submarines in the United States and the former Soviet Union exploded due to operational errors. The largest submarine in the former Soviet Union crashed, causing hundreds of deaths. It was also the largest submarine accident so far. They are quite lucky.
Returning to the rest cabin, several people who were sleeping also woke up. However, these guys were very smart and none of them were injured. The most surprising thing was Heichang. He actually slept in an unshakable state. If not Canglong went over and pressed his pulse to make sure he was still alive. He probably thought he had also suffocated to death.
Xiami explained the situation just like the others who looked confused, and then Bai Chang suddenly looked frightened: "Damn it, I know that submarines are not safe, I know that this thing is definitely unreliable."
Although it is a complaint, it makes the atmosphere a little tense. They are all vulnerable in the submarine. Once hit by a torpedo, everyone will be violently exploded or crushed to death by water pressure. Even if they are not crushed to death, they will be drowned. In a submarine, there are no exceptions.
Canglong ignored him, just called Xiami out, entered another rest cabin, and then closed the door. Xiami asked strangely: "Is something wrong?"
"Don't you think it's strange?" Canglong asked.
"Strange?" Xiami suddenly became alert, "You mean"
"According to common sense, even if it is close to the coast, with the quality of the sailors on this submarine, it should not be discovered. The captain's command just now proves everything, but we have been traveling for so long, and there is no one in the sea area ahead. I discovered it, but it happened to be discovered in the hinterland." Canglong expressed his doubts.
"You mean, our whereabouts have been betrayed?" Xiami frowned.
"It's possible, so I'm afraid this mission cannot follow the original route. Otherwise, we may be exhausted and swim fifty kilometers, only to find the US Marine Corps waiting for us when we get ashore, armed with guns." Canglong. Anticipating the most dangerous consequences.
"Who do you think it will be?" Xiami said suddenly, "Hei Chang or Bai Chang?"
"It's not them!" Canglong shook his head firmly.
"If it's not them, is it you? Or me, or a few other people, or the sailors in this submarine?" Xiami didn't believe it.
"Before you get the evidence, you have no reason to doubt them. If you want to doubt, I can even doubt you, but I believe you, believe them, and even more believe the sailors in this submarine." Canglong said calmly. .
Xiami suddenly understood what Canglong meant, but he didn't believe it. He just asked: "Then we will follow the second route? You must know that Ruomo has arranged a contact for us. If we are in the designated place, If we don’t contact the contact person about the location, we are blind in the United States.”
"No, we don't follow any one route." Canglong shook his head.
Xiami originally wanted to ask about the specific route of action, but when he saw Canglong's expression, he fell silent. Although Canglong said he believed them, he actually didn't believe it. But he didn't blame Canglong. As the leader of Team B, Canglong must He considers the whole team, so only he has the right to doubt anyone in team B.
Although this makes people feel a little weird, it is the fact. After a while, several sailors with guns in their hands walked to their rest cabin and informed the captain of the order. Now no one can leave the cabin where they are without permission. The reason is that the accident just now may cause a chain reaction, so personnel who are not members of this submarine cannot wander around to avoid causing trouble.[
But Xiami, Canglong, and Shen Wansan and four others in another cabin all felt something, but they did not take any action. They just stayed in the cabin and waited for the moment when the submarine surfaced.
"You guessed it right." In the cabin, Xiami frowned deeply. Apart from Li Ruomo, only the people on this submarine knew the details of this operation.
As for the people who have the right to dispatch nuclear submarines, in addition to the supreme head of state, they are also the heads of the General Staff. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Canglong to suspect that he went to the General Staff, let alone that Li Ruomo told others about his whereabouts. But if a spy is caught Placed in the General Staff Headquarters?
This is what Xiami is worried about. Although he is not willing to admit it, when they were in Teko, they knew very well that there was a spy hidden in the top brass of the military, or in the Chinese intelligence system, and this spy was very powerful. , obviously the captain seemed to be aware of this.
However, he suspected one of Canglong and the others, not behind him, so he sent a few sailors over and put them all under house arrest. Sea Wolf's sudden attack was really inexplicable, as he had obviously already escaped. , but it suddenly appeared again. It was obvious that someone had sent the exact coordinates of the submarine to the U.S. Navy, which caused the scene just now. In the eyes of the captain, there was no one else who could leak the information except Canglong and a few others.
At the same time, at the headquarters of the 15th Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Ruomo had just returned to the office when he received intelligence that the nuclear submarine was under attack. Fortunately, it was a serious problem. At that time, Li Ruomo's heart was in suspense: "This guy finally surfaced. It’s out of the water!”
Li Ruomo immediately sent someone to investigate and determined a list of people who could know the whereabouts of the nuclear submarine. In the end, she found that, except for a few exclusions at the top, some of the people below were either high-ranking officials in the military or from the intelligence department. Boss, this suddenly gave Li Ruomo a headache. If any of them were foreign spies, it would be a terrible thing.
If she were to become a spy for a foreign country in an important position, how much important military information would be leaked? Li Ruomo felt a chill in her heart. Even if she was really sure which person was a spy, it would cause severe turmoil to the entire intelligence system. How big would it be? She didn't know much about the turmoil, but almost all of the people on these lists pointed to the General Intelligence Agency.
Li Ruomo is not stupid enough to think that the 15th Military Intelligence Bureau can replace the General Intelligence Bureau, but if she takes out this list now, it is estimated that the General Intelligence Bureau will be panicked. If it is really confirmed that it is a certain person, the higher-ups will definitely be cruel. Conduct a thorough purge of the General Intelligence Agency to prevent the existence of other spies.
Whether the General Intelligence Bureau can continue to maintain its previous operations after the purge is something Li Ruomo is very worried about. Although the General Intelligence Bureau always has trouble with her in every military intelligence meeting, she also knows the inevitability of the General Intelligence Bureau's existence. The old man once said that the General Intelligence Bureau is the core of all intelligence agencies. If the General Intelligence Bureau is lost, China's intelligence system will be completely paralyzed. The existence of the General Intelligence Bureau has its inevitable value and is the foundation of China's intelligence network.
"What to do!" Li Ruomo suddenly became embarrassed. On the one hand, she was worried about Canglong and the others. She didn't know what this spy had leaked to the Americans. Although she believed that Canglong would be able to adapt to the situation, the leakage of this operation would be more difficult than The front is twice as high.
On the other hand, she was worried about the future of the intelligence system. For the first time, she suddenly became so confused. Even if one day she really had conclusive evidence, she would still have to think about how to report it, and this As long as the spies are not eliminated, China's losses will be greater. Many policies and strategies may not be implemented yet, and the enemy may have already taken countermeasures.
At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. Li Ruomo calmed down and answered the phone: "Hello!"
"Xiao Mo."
"Is that you? What do you want from me? I'm very busy and don't have time to answer your call."
"Haha, after becoming the director of the 15th Military Intelligence Bureau, you don't even want your father anymore?"
It was Li Ruomo's father who was on the phone. After hearing these words, Li Ruomo's tone softened a little: "I am indeed very busy, and dad, if there is a cancer in your department that may threaten national interests, what will you do?" ?”
"Cancer?" The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said, "Then it depends on how to threaten."
"What if it might lead to a huge crisis in this country?" Li Ruomo asked.
"What, are you in trouble?"
"Yes, I hope you can explain it to me."
"Seeing that your tone is so sincere, I will tell you a compromise."[
"What can I do?"
"With your job, if you encounter such a cancer, it may affect the whole body, but you can do the opposite."
"You mean to take advantage of him and use him to deliver wrong information to" Li Ruomo suddenly closed his mouth mid-sentence, because if he continued to speak, it would be leaking state secrets.
"It seems that you are in big trouble." Father Li on the other end of the phone understood something, "Listen to my advice, Xiao Mo, leave the intelligence department. If you don't do these things, someone will do it. And you I promised that I would consider getting married, should I honor it now?"
"I only promised you that I would consider it, not that I will definitely do it. Well, I'm very busy. Also, don't persuade me to leave the intelligence department in the future, otherwise I won't even answer your call." As he said, Li Ruomo I quickly hung up the phone, as if I was escaping from something.
