Chapter 1954 Hercules
1954
It's quiet at night.
Kevin has left New Zealand and returned to the United States.
A few hours after Kevin left, Xu Taiping also boarded a ship bound for the United States.
Now the whole world is looking for him, and planes are no longer enough to ensure Xu Taiping's safety, so Xu Taiping can only take a ship. Fortunately, the distance from New Zealand to the United States is not far. According to the current sailing speed, Xu Taiping can make it after dawn. We have arrived at the farthest city in the United States.
Xu Taiping stood on the deck, looking at the dark sea.
Xu Taiping held a mobile phone in his left hand and an opened bottle of whiskey in his right hand.
The latest news was played on the phone screen.
Kevin, an aide to the President of the United States, was arrested by U.S. agents for allegedly leaking state secrets to China. During the arrest, Kevin resisted and was eventually killed by U.S. agents.
Everything was as Kevin expected.
In other words, all this is what Kevin needs.
He must resist stubbornly and must die, because only when he dies can the creators truly feel at ease.
Xu Taiping had just met Kevin and had no feelings for him. However, after seeing the news of Kevin's death, Xu Taiping suddenly remembered that a few hours ago, Kevin calmly told him that he was going to the United States. Death.
For many people, they attach great importance to life and death, such as Zhao Taiji, such as Zhao Qingshan, and these people are often in high positions. The higher their status, the more they are afraid of death. The so-called faith, the so-called pursuit, It does not allow them to despise death. On the contrary, some people do not take life and death seriously, such as Kevin, and those agents who disappeared into the dark night without even making a sound. These people are of low status, and Their achievements are far inferior to those in high positions. However, such people are more indifferent to life and death. Just like Kevin just now, he said he was going to die, but in the blink of an eye, he really died.
Xu Taiping suddenly figured out something.
Whether a person is afraid of death or not depends on how much you have. If you have more, you will be afraid of death, but if you have less, you will not be afraid of death.
As the old Chinese saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. This is what it means.
Xu Taiping tilted the mouth of the whiskey bottle slightly.
Whiskey poured from the bottle and fell onto the deck.
"Here's to you, Kevin. You are a true warrior. You dare to face life and death. You are a true warrior, much stronger than Zhao Qingshan and others." Xu Taiping said in a low voice.
Under the night sky, a shooting star flashed past.
As the sky grew brighter, the ship sailed into the port of the southernmost city in the United States.
The journey here was actually not peaceful, because we could often see warships passing by from a distance or close by. Fortunately, the war had not started yet, and the ship had all the documents, so it was a safe arrival. To the United States.
Xu Taiping got off the boat and walked out of the port.
An old Ford sedan was parked on the side of the road.
Xu Taiping walked over, opened the car door naturally, and sat in.
The car key was inserted into the keyhole, so Xu Taiping only needed to turn the keyhole and the car would start.
Xu Taiping looked at the fuel tank and saw that it was full. Then, Xu Taiping raised his hand and pulled the sun visor in front of him. All the documents on the sun visor were complete.
Putting away the sun visor, Xu Taiping opened the drawer next to the gear lever and took out a plastic bag from it.
Xu Taiping opened the plastic bag and took out some beards, eyebrows, and cheeks. Then, Xu Taiping put these things on his face.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Taiping turned into the person in the passport placed on the sun visor, exactly the same.
Xu Taiping stepped on the accelerator and headed for Walton, the capital of the United States.
At the same time, Walton, the capital of the United States.
The past few days have not been peaceful in Walton. There have been several attacks. Many Walton officials have been killed in attacks. According to the results of the investigation, the deaths of these officials seem to be inseparable from China...
Although China strongly denies these things, American officials firmly accuse China of assassinating those officials. Therefore, the entire American society is now very resistant to China, and the warring faction far outnumbers the anti-war faction.
In order to avoid security problems, many Chinatowns in the United States have been closed, and the war between the Iron Blood Army and these Chinatowns has temporarily entered a truce period.
During the period when the war was about to begin, everyone was very low-key, for fear of hitting the muzzle of a gun.
Black Palace, inside the Office of the President.
President Dawn of the United States is sitting on a huge sofa.
In front of Dawn were senior officials from the military and the government.
Almost all of these senior officials are war-fighting factions, and many of the officials killed in the past few days were anti-war factions.
"Mr. President, we have currently mobilized more than 40% of our navy to the Pacific. According to the latest spy satellite detection, the number of navy deployed by China is roughly the same as ours. According to the analysis of the staff department, once a war breaks out, we will gain The probability of victory in the war is over 60%!" said a general holding a document.
"Very good!" Dawn nodded, "Continue to send more navy, this naval battle, we can only lose, not defeat!"
"yes!"
"In addition, if we put our newly developed Hercules into the battlefield, a 60% chance of winning is not enough. I need to make our chance of winning reach 100%!" Dawn said.
"Is Hercules also going to the battlefield?!" the surrounding generals asked in surprise.
"Isn't it possible? I just read the report. The Hercules is fully capable of combat. This is our biggest trump card. If the Hercules is sent to the battlefield, our chance of winning will be at least 90%!" Dawn said.
"Mr. President, although the Hercules is already capable of combat,... our goal in this war is to defeat the Chinese Navy, not to annihilate the Chinese Navy. If the Hercules is used, it may make the war uncontrollable. Develop!" A general said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Mr. President, we still have to limit the war to a controllable range!" Another general also echoed. For those present, this war, rather than calling it a war, it is better to call it a regional conflict. The two countries The navies are competing in the Pacific. The goal is not to destroy anyone, but to see whose fist is stronger. Once one party thinks that the other party's fist is stronger and gives in, the war will be over. How will the money be paid and how will the recognition be recognized? If you are shy, then go to the conference table to discuss it.
"If we cannot have a 90% victory rate, how can we limit the war? If the two sides are evenly matched, the war can only continue endlessly, and may even expand infinitely. The reason why I want to The purpose of letting the Hercules be put into the battlefield is to determine the outcome in one fell swoop, so that the Chinese Navy will not have any delusions. By then, the losses of the war will be reduced to a minimum. Don't you understand this?" said En said with a frown.
Several generals looked at each other for a moment, and then Navy Five-Star Admiral Joseph said, "I think Mr. President is right. We must make China truly aware of the huge gap between us, so that they will give in and vigorously The Hercules can act as a deterrent! Moreover, once China has a trump card that we are not willing to take advantage of, the Hercules can also play a role in stabilizing the situation!"
After hearing what Joseph said, several generals stopped talking, because they also felt that what Joseph said to Dawn was reasonable.
"Since no one objects, let's sign the order. From now on, the Hercules will enter combat readiness and rush to the Pacific Ocean to carry out combat missions within three hours at the latest!" Dawn said.
"yes!"
Inside the headquarters of a military base in the United States.
The phone rang rapidly.
The base commander picked up the phone, listened for a while and then said, "Yes, yes!"
A few minutes later, an alarm sounded.
All the soldiers in the military base were mobilized. Everyone moved various things out of the warehouse and loaded them into vehicles. Then, these vehicles drove into a huge air-raid shelter.
About an hour later.
A huge roar came from the air raid shelter.
Strong air waves swept out from the air raid shelter.
Fortunately, there was nothing outside the air-raid shelter, otherwise even the truck would have been blown away by this air wave alone.
As the roar grew louder, a huge hole suddenly opened above the air raid shelter.
A huge spacecraft, which has never been seen in public, slowly lifted into the sky.
The spacecraft is very large, about the size of three aircraft carriers combined.
The spacecraft is surrounded by huge propellers. The propellers rotate rapidly, pushing the huge spacecraft into the sky little by little.
When the entire spacecraft is completely exposed in the sky, the sun in the sky seems to be blocked by the spacecraft.
The spacecraft flew higher and higher, and finally reached an altitude of several thousand meters. After that, the spacecraft turned around and flew towards the Pacific Ocean.
Despite its huge size, when the spacecraft explodes at speed, it is no slower than ordinary civilian aircraft!
On the Pacific Ocean.
A huge multinational fleet is floating quietly on the sea.
The Dingyuan aircraft carrier is the flagship of this fleet.
At this time, Xu Guangyuan, the captain of the Dingyuan aircraft carrier, was looking at the looming US Navy in the distance with a telescope.
Next to Xu Guangyuan, several deputies were taking turns reporting on the developments of the US Navy.
At this moment, Xu Guangyuan's originally calm expression suddenly changed.
"What is that?!" Xu Guangyuan pointed into the distance and said.
Everyone in the command room looked into the distance.
They saw a huge ship flying towards them in the sky more than ten nautical miles away!
