Chapter 1738 The Pufferfish Incident

1738. The Blowfish Incident

A tanker laden with crude oil departs from the port of Houston, Texas, on its way to the Atlantic via the Bahamas. On this oil tanker with a displacement of 20,000 tons, it is sprayed with a very obvious T-shaped mark of the Guardian Group, and the name of the ship-Puffer is also painted on the side of the ship.

On the bridge of the Pufferfish, Captain James looked into the distance with a telescope, smiled and said to the first officer: "Well, children! Say goodbye to Mother America! Tonight, everyone except the crew on duty A bottle of rum, if you don’t drink it, I’ll go wash the toilet!!”

"Hahahaha!" The sailors laughed and conveyed the captain's instructions.

That night, on the broad deck of the oil tanker, high-power searchlights illuminated the ship brightly. Dozens of sailors sang and danced with wine bottles. They simply played football on the deck.

"Captain! I heard that this job can make a lot of money, right?" A sailor said to the captain without getting up or down.

Captain James was drinking happily with a bottle of wine, "It is said that this is an expedited shipment. There is an energy crisis in West Germany, and this batch of high-quality crude oil is urgently needed for emergency relief! For this ship of crude oil, West Germany opened a ship for us. High price! With the allowance given to us by the Guardian Group, it is conservatively estimated that each of us can earn $1,000! Hahahaha!"

The eyes of the sailors around were straight, "1000 dollars!! Hahahaha, that's enough for me to find a chick in Dallas for a month! Hahahaha!!"

"Now that you know, then straighten your ass for me!! Watch closely, don't let me fucking hit the rock!" The captain said drunkenly.

...

At the same time, in the Straits of Florida, a dark submarine was floating on the water. Hull number SSN-571, Nautilus nuclear-powered submarine, belonging to the US Navy.

In the narrow cabin, only the dazzling red lights illuminate the surroundings, which is a sign that the submarine has entered a state of combat readiness. An orderly came to the bridge with a writing board and handed the writing board to the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Rondo, "Your Excellency, the third communication is over, the current coordinates are 81 degrees 03 minutes west longitude, 24 degrees 01 degrees north latitude minutes, arrived at the predetermined location."

"Call Tang Yu, director of the Guardian Group, to confirm the target for the last time." Lieutenant Colonel Rondo said in a deep voice.

The messenger immediately recorded the order, turned around and went to the communication cabin, and soon, an encrypted telegram was sent out.

Colorado, USA, affiliated with the Guardian Group,

Grand Canyon base.

A staff member handed the telegram to Tang Yu, "Received the telegram, the confidentiality level is the highest."

Tang Yu took the telegram, glanced at it, and the photonic computer in his brain had already completed the decoding. His eyes flashed, and he said, "call back, the target will arrive at the predetermined area in two hours, and proceed as originally planned. The encryption level is the highest. "

The staff nodded and turned to leave.

Soon, the Nautilus submarine received the message, and the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Rondo, waved his hand violently and said loudly: "The whole ship has entered the first level of combat state! Start radio silence!"

The orderly sent down the order immediately, and soon a piercing siren sounded in the submarine, "The whole ship enters the first combat state! All personnel immediately enter the combat position! Repeat, the whole ship..."

Soon, Lieutenant Colonel Rondo continued to order, "Fill the main ballast tank with water! Dive immediately, and the calibrated depth is 100 meters!"

"Inject water into the main ballast water tank! Calibrate the depth to 100 meters!" The messenger immediately repeated the order, and there was a dull sound from the submarine. As more and more seawater was injected, the submarine swayed and began to sink.

"Dive to a depth of 20 meters!"

"30 meters!"

"40 meters!" The soldiers on the console kept reporting the current reading.

"90 meters!"

"100 meters! Stop injecting water!!"

"The torpedo cabin reports the situation." Lieutenant Colonel Rondo said without looking back.

"Report the situation in the torpedo cabin!" The messenger sent an order, and in the torpedo cabin in front of the submarine, several sailors immediately checked several special torpedoes placed next to the launch tubes. The shells of these torpedoes are all sprayed with bright red five-pointed stars, and they are all Soviet-made 53-51 thermal power torpedoes! !

"The torpedo compartment is normal!" Soon the sailors completed the final inspection of the torpedo and issued an order to return.

"Torpedo tubes one to six are all loaded with special torpedoes!"

"Torpedo tubes one to six are loaded with special torpedoes!"

"Filled!"

"Stop advancing! The whole ship enters a state of silence! Active sonar is turned on!" Following Captain Rondo's order, the entire submarine was completely silent, and all the crew members held their breath and stuck to their combat positions without moving. For a while, only the faint ding ding sound from the active sonar echoed around.

As the first nuclear-powered submarine in the United States and even in the world, and adopted the name of the legendary submarine in the famous sci-fi, the crew on the Nautilus are all elites in the US Navy. No sound at all all day long!

About two hours later, a signal came from the sonar! The sonar listener immediately took the writing board and wrote a line and handed it to the orderly, who handed the writing board to the captain.

"Launch tubes 1 and 2 are launched!" Lieutenant Colonel Rondo gave an order, and the two launch tubes in front of the submarine immediately ejected a large number of bubbles, followed by two Soviet-made 53-51 torpedoes!

"Float up to the calibrated 20 meters! Then launch tubes 3 and 4 launch!!"

The submarine immediately began to float up, and when it reached a depth of 20 meters, another two torpedoes were fired from the front again!

"Raise the periscope!"

"Raise the periscope!" A small periscope protruded from the water, observing the huge monster ahead. On the side of the target, the logo of the Guardian Group, the Fugu oil tanker, was spray-painted impressively!

...

Just when the torpedo had been launched, the Fugu oil tanker was still full of singing and dancing. The more than 100 crew members on board had no idea that the god of death had come and the catastrophe was just around the corner!

An observer on duty looked into the distance with a telescope while gnawing chicken legs, and suddenly he saw two long white objects approaching at high speed under the water! The observer didn't realize what it was for a while, and he murmured, "What is this? A shark?"

Hearing his words, an old sailor next to him was shocked, "What did you say?" He grabbed the binoculars with his hands, and when he saw clearly, he, who had served in the navy during World War II, suddenly felt like a big hand Grab your heart hard!

Out of fear, he shouted hysterically: "Torpedo!!! There is a torpedo!!!!!!"

However, no one of the crew members who were singing, dancing and drinking heard his cry. He threw away the binoculars and ran towards the deck! However, before running a few steps, I only heard a loud bang! ! Immediately afterwards, the whole ship jumped up abruptly, throwing the old crew member flying! At the same time, in the huge explosion, the middle of the tanker was suddenly blown up! !

Flames and black smoke billowed out immediately, countless black crude oil was blasted into the air tens of meters high, and black rain fell on the entire area immediately! ! Almost at the moment of the explosion, the crew who were having fun on the deck suffered heavy casualties. The captain was hit by a flying oil drum and died instantly!

The sea of ​​flames soaring into the sky suddenly spread, and a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin from the underwater gap, and the entire tanker began to capsize at a speed visible to the naked eye! However, the attackers did not intend to leave any leeway at all. Two minutes later, two torpedoes were fired at high speed, and the completely paralyzed tanker had no possibility of evasion!

boom! boom! boom! boom! ! During the explosion of the torpedo, the fuel tank of the tanker exploded suddenly, and the huge explosion even blew the ship into two pieces! Countless seawater poured in from the fracture, and the Fugu tanker sank into the icy Caribbean Sea within a few minutes! Of the 112 crew members, none survived!

Observing this horrible scene of hell through the periscope, the rock-like face of Lieutenant Colonel Rondo, the captain of the Nautilus nuclear submarine, was still cold and unwavering, which is the minimum quality of a soldier.

"Put away the periscope, calibrate the diving depth to 50 meters, turn the full left rudder to 45 degrees, and move forward at full speed!" He gave the command coldly.

...

At the Grand Canyon Base, the confidential telegram was sent again. Tang Yu looked at the telegram and said to the staff: "Immediately start the investigation process, find the torpedo fragments as soon as possible, and pay the compensation for the sacrificed crew... according to 10 times the standard."

After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and took a deep breath.

Swish! ! A pair of extremely sharp bone claws pressed against his chest, Tang Yu opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was Wolverine's angry expression!

"In order to achieve your goal! You actually sacrificed more than 100 innocent crew members!!!" Wolverine roared.

"Yes." Tang Yu replied lightly.

"Tell me a reason why I won't kill you now!!" Wolverine looked like his beard and hair were all stretched out, and the hairs exploded angrily, like steel needles.

"Should I let the U.S. regular army directly invade Cuba, and then provoke a full-scale war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, or wait for the Soviet missiles to fall on the U.S.? Or, sacrifice these 100 people and give me a reason to use the robot army to intervene in the war, Choose yourself." Tang Yu said expressionlessly, "There is still time, because as long as the fragments of the Soviet torpedo are not found, the third situation will not happen, and the first two will be replaced."

"You!!" Wolverine was about to go into a fit, but he lowered his hand in frustration, "What is the difference between you and Sita! They are also driving civilians to die for you!!"

"Of course there is a difference, because I didn't do this for myself." Tang Yu replied.

Wolverine pushed Tang Yu against the wall, shredded the computer in front of him with a bang, turned and walked towards the door, "After the operation in Cuba is over, we have nothing to do with you!!"
