"I have just confirmed to Yokosuka that until now, they still don't know where the attack came from..."
Hale's words made all the big guys present feel suffocated. Why? It's very simple, because usually, when one's own submarine is attacked, it means that the country is attacked, and war must be declared immediately, but how to declare war now and to whom
Declare war? No one can be found. Is it possible to attack Japan?
It's hard not to feel aggrieved when something like this happens, and the most important thing is that due to the unanimous opinions of the big guys here, the attack on the submarine has not yet been reported to the Supreme Commander Headquarters. Now the issue of reporting is already imminent.
Already.
Fortunately, Commander William Gott of the Fleet Headquarters was quite responsible. He said: "I will be the one to report the matter, and others should not get involved!"
Hale disagreed and said: "General Gott, the Seventh Fleet is under my command after all. It's up to you and me to jointly report it!"
After hearing this, Gott stared at Hale for five seconds before agreeing: "Okay, let's go together."
Ten minutes later, Pentagon, Office of the Secretary of Defense.
"beep--"
"Mr. Minister, I have your internal video call!" the female secretary's refreshing and charming voice rang on the phone.
"Where did it come from?" Secretary Rum Field asked casually.
"Arlington County, Navy Headquarters!"
When he heard the name of this department, Field couldn't help but frowned. Because the Navy is the most deployed U.S. military in the world, so there are many military affairs. If it is general affairs, the commanders of the Navy alone can handle it with full authority. There is no need to call.
Come here. And it’s a dedicated internal video call: “Put it in for me!”
The next second, the screen wall lit up. The entire video was cut in half, with Hale and Gott appearing on the big screen at the same time. When Field saw this posture, his heart suddenly thumped, and he subconsciously said: "What happened?"
?”
"Big deal!" Gott, who had some old acquaintance with Field, replied with two words.
When Field heard this, he calmed down completely, rubbed his temples and said, "Let's talk about it in detail!"
Hale immediately took over the conversation and said in a roundabout way: "Virginia-class nuclear submarine, hull number 774, it is currently confirmed that its power compartment has been soaked by sea water!"
Defense Secretary Field, who is familiar with military affairs, was shocked: "What did you say? The 774 submarine sank? Was it an attack or a technical reason? No, it shouldn't be a technical reason? Which party was it attacked by? Russia or China
?”
"Gao... Field, it's really not a fluke that you became the Secretary of Defense!" Gott flattered him, then changed the topic and said seriously: "The 774 ship happened in Sagami Bay off the coast of Japan. At present, we
The cause of the sinking has not yet been found. Although according to the last emergency signal sent by the 774 ship, it should have been attacked, but all early warning systems in the Kanto area of Japan showed no response at that time."
After hearing these words, Field's head was pounding, but Hale took the opportunity to say: "In fact, not only the 774 ship was in trouble, but the Japanese submarine 8108 operating with it was also wrecked. Just half an hour ago, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force
The chief of staff even called us to ask for advice on how to handle this matter!"
"Wait a minute. Did you mean half an hour ago? When exactly did the incident on submarine 774 happen?" Field keenly grasped the key to Hale's words.
Gott smiled bitterly upon hearing this, looked at his watch again, and then replied: "The specific time was eighty-three minutes ago. However, it only took more than ten minutes for the Navy Command to confirm the matter."
"You are concealing military information!" Field became a little angry when he heard this, and waved his hands and said: "Forget it. After all, the location of this incident is too strange, damn it. Such a big hot potato, you guys are just now
Throw it to me!"
Gott saw that Field had the idea of excusing them, and immediately said with a smile: "We are doing this to make you less worried. After all, this matter is not trivial. We can neither declare war indiscriminately nor fail to react. Moreover, this matter has developed to the point where
So far, we are still undecided on whether to make it public..."
"Zhit!" Field cursed, not talking about Gott and the others. Even he didn't know how to deal with it. The key is that the place where the submarine happened is too damn. Damn it, Sagami Bay, that place is even connected to the Izu Islands.
It hasn’t even been released yet, so it’s really not easy to find a good target to declare war on!
When Field's emotions were almost vented, Gott said: "Then do you think you should report this matter to the President and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff..."
"The report must be reported, but how to report it gives me a headache!" Field said.
"Just tell the truth. Hale and I will be responsible for the delay in reporting military information!" Gott said righteously.
"It's not your problem, it's how to deal with this matter specifically. If one of them is not handled well, the confidence of our European allies may be shaken!" Field said with a headache.
"It's not that serious, right?" Hale asked in astonishment. In fact, people in the Navy have not considered this issue, but they don't think it will affect most of the situation.
"It's not that serious? Hehe, if the police chief's private car is stolen and the thief is never found, what do you think his neighbors will think?" Field made an inappropriate analogy casually, but Gott was shocked.
He and Hale both turned pale.
"So, we must declare war on a certain country?" But the three people in the video conference call all knew how serious the consequences of such a light sentence were, because the two imaginary enemies that Washington was most prepared for were both of them.
Mom is a nuclear power. Once war is declared, if both sides engage in real fire, then the direction of the war cannot be controlled unilaterally by one side.
"Forget it, let Mr. President worry about this problem!" After saying that, Field didn't bother to think about it anymore. He ended the video call directly, turned around and picked up another confidential phone and called George W. Bush.
On the other side, inside the Mitsuiso courtyard.
Even though Wugong was vomiting blood due to Faerun's torture, it was actually just a few bruises. After catching his breath and resting for a while, he felt much better. Although it would take a few days to recover from his injuries, at least he would not be alive.
He was worried, so with Mitsui's help, he stood up tremblingly, not daring to get angry at Faerun.
Feilun didn't have the consciousness to beat someone in front of the host just now. Instead, he said jokingly: "Hosokawa, the three of us are guests, you don't mean to just let us drink the northwest wind here, do you?"
?”
Hosokawa Yuka glanced at the mess on the ground, rolled her eyes at him, and said: "Come with me, I'll treat you to a golden meal!" After that, she didn't even look at Mitsui and Takenomiya, and just went about her way.
And go.
He Youlong and Nanako were somewhat scrupulous and looked at Feilun. Feilun chuckled and said: "What are you looking at me for? I can't eat it!" Then he pulled the two of them to follow Hosokawa Yuxiang's footsteps without even raising his eyes.
Go to the Martial Palace.
Although Wu Gong felt aggrieved by this, he did not dare to say anything. On the contrary, Mitsui was a little angry and said: "This Mr. Fei, is he too disrespectful to me?"
"You are wrong Mitsui. He has given you enough face. If I bump into him in another place, I am afraid my life will be in danger!" Takemiya said this through gritted teeth.
"Why? Does he really dare to kill you?" Mitsui asked in surprise.
"Remove that [not], he really dares to kill me, and even if the military knows about it, I'm afraid they can only chase him but not arrest him!" Wu Gong said coldly.
"Why? Can't we force him to submit?" Mitsui asked puzzled.
"Submit? How to submit?" Takemiya was startled for a moment, then understood what Mitsui meant, and said with a dumb smile: "Threatening him with his relatives and friends? Don't be ridiculous, after all, superpowers are derived from ordinary people.
, who doesn’t have relatives or friends, if you dare to threaten him, he will dare to threaten you in turn, believe it or not? But once an ordinary person is taken care of by a superpower, death is just a matter of words!"
Mitsui obviously does not fully understand the capabilities of superpowers, and still insists on his opinion: "Can't you bring your relatives and friends into the military camp for protection?"
Wugong rolled his eyes and said: "So what if we are protected by superpowers? Superpowers can't protect us for a lifetime, right? And it's impossible for me and my colleagues' relatives and friends to stay in the military camp for the rest of our lives, right? Besides, mess with it.
If the other party is anxious, they can also use poisonous gas or large-scale bombs. Even if those with abilities are hit, they will die and peel off their skin. As for ordinary people, do you think they can survive?"
When Mitsui heard this, he started sweating violently. You Cunqing said, "Are you afraid that you don't want to do this?"
"Nonsense... you have threatened the other party's relatives and friends, why can't the other party in turn eliminate your relatives and friends, or even yourself?" Wugong said disdainfully, "So don't spread rumors about today's matter to me.
It’s not good for you.”
"But my sister..."
"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The reason why I personally came to recruit your sister is because she is stronger than me and is also an advanced person. Didn't you see that she didn't talk nonsense when I was beaten just now? In her eyes,
My value is not as good as that of Fei." Having said this, Takemiya suddenly realized that Feilun's strength was probably as he feared, and that he was a second-time advancer. Otherwise, how could Hosokawa Yuka, the advanced person just now, be the same?
He would try to stop him for Mitsui's sake.
On the other hand, Mitsui felt sad after hearing Takemiya's words, because according to the other party, his little sister judges people by their value and strength, so wouldn't his, an old man who only knows how to do business, be of little use?
? Thinking of this, Mitsui felt irritated. After all, the privileges of ability users have now been reflected in Honshu Island, and he is more or less jealous.
Takemiya couldn't read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Mitsui was thinking. After feeling that the wounds in his body had eased a little, he immediately said: "Mitsui-don, let's do this for today. I'll go back first!"
