When the Pentagon learned that one of its strategic-class nuclear submarines had an accident, it instantly became nervous.
The most important thing about a strategic-class nuclear submarine is not the submarine itself, but the intercontinental missiles and nuclear warheads equipped on it.
"Is the search and rescue work completed?"
the Minister of Defense personally commanded.
"Our rescue team at the Antarctic research station has successfully rescued all the soldiers and crew members of the Pacific 2 nuclear submarine without any casualties."
Hearing the report from his subordinates, the Minister of Defense relaxed a little, and then asked: "Can you still detect the signal of the Pacific 2?"
"All the signals have completely disappeared."
A staff officer said: "We suspect that it has sunk into the deep sea. ” The Minister of Defense frowned and asked: "Has the fluctuation of the explosion of the nuclear warhead been detected?"
"Not yet."
The staff officer replied: "If all the nuclear warheads on the Pacific 2 explode, there will be no need for any detection methods at all, and all Antarctic research stations will be able to feel it."
It can even cause large-scale earthquakes in Antarctic glaciers. ” After releasing a little more, the Minister of Defense asked: "Technically, is it possible for the nuclear warhead on it to explode under the pressure of seawater?"
"No possibility," replied one technician, "the detonation of a nuclear bomb requires heat, and water pressure does not subjectively produce this energy."
Moreover, our nuclear weapons are equipped with combination locks, which are impossible to unlock by water pressure. ” "That's good."
The Secretary of Defense breathed a sigh of relief, because whether it was the death of the crew or the explosion of a nuclear bomb, it would have a very bad impact on the US government.
The Pacific 2 is equipped with 160 soldiers and crew as standard, and if so many people die suddenly, the United States has no way to account for society.
And if the nuclear warhead on it explodes, the US government will need to account for it to the whole world.
Nuclear bombs are different from other weapons, even if they explode in the sea, they will produce a considerable amount of radiation, and although there is no country or permanent population at the place of the incident, this radiation will spread to a very large area, and this radiation will be long-term.
Not to mention anything else, the scientific research stations set up by various countries in Antarctica have to be evacuated.
And most importantly, what do you mean by lurking a nuclear submarine in such a place and also letting the nuclear warhead on it explode Although there are some troubles to worry about, the defense minister does not intend to simply skip this matter and asks: "The person in charge of that submarine is Johansen" "Yes, he and his men have been brought under control and are being transported to our secret base in the Pacific 3."
The Minister of Defense asked: "Did they say anything unusual" A staff officer said, "Johansen thought it was a mechanical accident, and his lieutenant handed in a report detailing the anomalies they had encountered."
The Minister of Defense took the report handed over by his subordinates with a serious face, and after reading it, he was puzzled.
"The sonar detected that large objects kept falling into the sea, and hundreds of ice floes of various sizes were sinking irregularly but with smooth cuts, so it was possible that this was an unpremeditated surprise attack" These doubts seem problematic, and the conclusions drawn are plausible.
But there is one thing that cannot be explained, that is, why no one attacked the officers and men on this submarine when they did not have enough protective force In response to the Minister of Defense's question, his staff officers were also divided into two factions.
One of them said: "This is a certain country experimenting with a new type of weapon, and at the time of the experiment, it happened to be discovered by our submarine, so they used some kind of attack method that we did not know about, and sank our nuclear submarine." ” The other faction raised an objection: "If it is an experiment with a new type of weapon, then there will inevitably be warships or submarines, and no matter how bad it is, there will be armaments such as aircraft."
But the logs sent by our submarine at the end show that they didn't encounter anything man-made.
Moreover, if it is really up to the state to develop this mysterious weapon that can sink our submarine when it does not find anything abnormal, then what is their purpose If they want to keep it secret, then it is better to leave quietly, anyway, we did not find them.
If there is no need for secrecy, then why did you spare the soldiers who had no defenses after attacking the submarines" The two sides insisted on their own words and began a heated argument.
At this time, Johansen and the others had been transported to a secret base, and each of them submitted a very complete report.
The investigative unit responsible for inspecting the scene of the incident also sent back a report on the scene in a timely manner.
After these reports were analyzed, the Pentagon's staff officers were once again mired in heated discussions.
After three days of discussions, nothing came to fruition, and at this moment, a search ship that had rushed to the site of the incident first reported a piece of news that shocked the Pentagon.
"Near the place where the incident occurred, the sunken nuclear submarine could not be found" The Minister of Defense's face turned pale instantly, and asked: "Is the detection depth not enough, or is it carried away by the submarine current?"
"In fact, there is no trench at the site of the incident, and we have detected the location of the seabed.
Moreover, there are no ocean currents in the sea near the place of the incident, and our detection range has been expanded to a radius of three nautical miles.
This is already the range of possible sinking after calculating the possibility of ocean currents. ” "Continue to expand the scope of the search."
After the Minister of Defense gave the order, he was not calm, he was already convinced that it was only a sinking caused by a technical malfunction.
However, if the sunken submarine cannot be found, then no reason is needed directly, it can be concluded that this was an attack.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "The depth of the incident site, judging from the current salvage capacity, is there any country that can salvage the sunken submarine?"
"China, Russia, and the United Kingdom all have salvage capabilities."
Someone replied: "But in fact, there is no time at all, and this kind of salvage work will require at least a month of uninterrupted operation." ” After taking a deep breath, the Minister of Defense asked, "So, what is the result of your analysis?"
After a staff officer stood up, he said very seriously: "At present, we think that the biggest possibility is that a certain country has developed a new stealth mode and a weapon that can paralyze the power system of the opponent's submarine or even warship.
And the impact of this weapon is controllable.
That is, the enemy submarine, having paralyzed the power of our submarine, towed our submarine on the bottom of the sea, and then, after reaching a safe area, sent soldiers to board our submarine" After listening to this, the Minister of Defense did not believe that there was a country whose military strength could surpass the United States by so much, but he also knew that apart from this explanation, there was no reason to explain that a 170-meter-long nuclear submarine could not even find its body after it sank, and even if it was blown up, there must be wreckage "Now I declare that the United States has officially entered a state of red readiness."
After a moment of silence, the Minister of Defense stood up and said: "Let all our strategic-class nuclear submarines be launched, turn off all devices that may cause signals, and reach irregular locations to hide in accordance with the provisions of the tactical manual."
Pay close attention to the trends of China, Russia and other countries. ” When the Pentagon announced that it had entered a state of combat readiness, Li Daniu was rushing to his secret base in a strategic nuclear submarine belonging to Russia that had just been snatched back.

"Ultron, is the United States reacting now?"
asked Li Daniu with some expectation.
"The United States has officially entered a state of red readiness."
"Okay" Li Daniu laughed, and when Russia and Huaxia also began to search for their lost nuclear submarines in two days, the fun would be great.
With the loss of nuclear submarines from three countries almost front and rear, are they still in the mood to pay attention to New Tuvalu "Your Majesty, I need to remind you that the consequences of your actions are likely to plunge the world into war. ” Li Daniu waved his hand and said, "So you are an artificial intelligence, you don't understand the way of thinking of human beings at all."
If there had been a world war, humanity would have perished long ago. ” Ultron was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Li Daniu smiled and said: "Because it is impossible for these three countries to announce to the world that their hidden strategic-class nuclear submarines have been stolen, and they will even carry out secret work without coincidentally."
As long as they keep it secret, there can be no reason for war at all.
In the age of democracy, there must always be some justifiable reason to start a war. ” "Moreover, the US government is controlled in the hands of those capitalist plutocracy, and if it is to fight Iraq, they will not have much opinion, because they can make war money.
But if you want to fight China or Russia, which is not weaker than them, hehe, believe it or not, if the current president of the United States dares to say this, he will be immediately removed from power" Ultron was silent for a moment and replied, "Still don't understand" Li Daniu rolled his eyes, of course you don't understand, if you really understand, I have to consider whether to format you.
"Regardless of them, this matter, without a year or two of effort, don't want to calm down.
And we can use a year or two to develop my new Tuvalu.
It is also commonly known as "quiet in chaos" "Are you launching new products as planned?"
"Of course."
Li Daniu nodded and said, "Prepare the relevant materials, and when the New Tuvalu carnival is held, I will hold a product launch conference."
Money is always the better. ” t1706231537:
