Chapter seven hundred and eighty eighth doomed
On the east seabed of about 100 kilometers southwest of Kagoshima, the US Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine was swimming quietly, and the US military's "Montpellier" Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine suddenly sounded the alarm of battle. For a moment, the boat seemed to be on fire, and all the people started to move.
Colonel Donald Michel, who was napping in the captain's lounge, also stood up suddenly. Before he could come out, Lieutenant Tony Scott, the intelligence officer of the Montpellier, had already rushed over, "Report to Colonel, we have received a combat order from the Pacific Fleet Command, requiring us to attack the designated target immediately!" Lieutenant Tony Scott stood at attention and reported to Captain Colonel Donald Michel.
"I know, Tony, what is the military target this time? Has the command finally made up his mind to go to war with the Chinese?" Colonel Michel asked casually as he walked. Since the air battle in Diaoyutai, the Americans have gathered nine aircraft carrier formations in the Western Pacific region, more than 1,000 fighter jets of various types, and more than 200,000 troops. For the soldiers below, a battle with the Chinese People's Liberation Army is inevitable.
In addition, the US military suffered a big loss not long ago in Africa. Front-line officers like Colonel Michel had a long premonition that the war was imminent. Since World War II, the US military has not suffered such a big loss. A squadron's fighter jet was completely wiped out but the opponent retreated.
Although Americans did not gain much advantage in several confrontations with the Chinese, whether it was the earlier Korean War, Vietnam War, or the recent Diaoyutai air war, or the Persian War, there was no time to lose as much as Africa. Therefore, for front-line officers like Colonel Michel, if the superiors do not find a way, the unique position of the US military as the world overlord is really irreversible.
"College, not a military target, but a civilian target." Lieutenant Scott reported in a whisper, "If I remember correctly, it should be a cosmic exploration center built by Dr. Duke of China." Lieutenant Scott is indeed a person who is engaged in intelligence work. He can invert the specific things represented by this coordinate from a simple attack coordinate number.
Colonel Michel was shocked, and his hurried steps were also stunned, "Civil target? Tony, are you sure the command was not sent wrong?" Colonel Michel asked slowly. The US military launched a war without taking the initiative twice at once. For Colonel Michel, in the current tense atmosphere of military confrontation, there is no problem in launching a strike against the PLA military targets, but if it is an attack on a civilian facility, then it is elusive behind this matter.
Even in the war, since the 1980s, few US military, which have many high-tech attack methods, have even attacked civilian facilities randomly. They pursue surgical precision strikes. Because the political cost of blatant attacks on civilian facilities is too high, it is easy to give people a handle, because after a military strike, it will still have to be resolved to be fully completed. Now it is completely different from the direct occupation in the colonial era.
"The command was exactly the same for both combat orders." Lieutenant Scott confirmed. How could the command make a mistake during an important period of attacks like this?
When Colonel Michel sat in front of the combat command system and saw the red destruction target calibrated on the large-screen combat map, it has now been locked by four "Tomahawk BlockIV-C" cruise missiles. This missile is equipped with a 454kg high-explosion warhead, using anti-jamming GPS receiver and dual-band satellite UHF data chain refining, which can change the attack targets in the middle of the flight. Compared with the old Tomahawk cruise missile that was ignored after the early launch, this new type of missile strike will be more accurate and flexible, and is the best weapon for the US Navy to destroy large opponents' bases.
Colonel Michel looked at the target island after enlarging on the combat map. It was just a small place. If one was to go down, it would probably be nothing left. The Pacific Fleet Command actually required the use of 4 "Tomahawk BlockIV-C" cruise missiles. Are you planning to erase this island from the sea in one fell swoop?
Colonel Michel had not come back to his senses, and the submarine combat command system flashed a few times, and the third combat order came again! This time the content is simpler, attack immediately!
Colonel Michel received this order and did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered an attack on the predetermined target. Four "Tomahawk BlockIV-C" cruise missiles rushed towards the water through the missile's vertical launch device, and quickly rushed out of the water. Then they changed direction and flew towards the target at a high speed of more than ten meters above the sea. Although the target was far away 500 kilometers, the speed of the Tomahawk cruise missile could be destroyed in at most more than 30 minutes.
"Sir, the Montpellier has launched an attack!" This movement at the bottom of the East China Sea was instantly transmitted back to Snyder, the headquarters of the CIA through a military satellite. Snyder, who was originally a little restless, was relieved and entered an inexplicable state.
He has been staring at Duke for a long time, planning many plans, and implementing many actions to eliminate this target person who poses great threat to American interests. However, except for one success, Snyder did not find any opportunity. Fortunately, the gods pay off, and finally Snyder saw an opportunity, that is, Duke wants to build a space exploration center on Twin Island.
Unlike Duke's Lotus Base, Twin Island has no important cities or military bases within two or three hundred kilometers surrounding it, so there is no PLA's increasingly sharp air defense system protection. For Snyder, this is simply an ideal ambush location.
However, most of the time Duke doesn't seem to visit here, but Snyder is not discouraged. He judged that Duke will eventually set foot here one day, and as long as he keeps a close eye on Duke's whereabouts, there will be a chance. As the island construction from military satellites begins to come to an end, Snyder's people are going all out to stare at Duke's whereabouts. Of course, this is not easy now. As Duke's contributions become more and more, Qin Tairan has more and more teams responsible for Duke's security, which is not weak at all compared to the power to protect the safety of Chief One.
And there have been no extra newcomers around Duke for a long time. Most of them are old faces that have been following, making it difficult for Snyder to put a nail in.
Sham Grant and Carter Karen, who were very afraid of Duke, agreed to get rid of this great enemy of the US country. The US military suffered a great loss in Africa. Sham Grant and Carter Karen, the military hawks, have already held their breath, and this time, it was even more like a killing of Duke.
The two sides had a long dispute. O'Leary finally made up his mind to implement this plan when the military stated that he was fully prepared for war.
Snyder was always worried that the cooked duck would fly away again, but when the Montpellier finally launched an attack while Duke was still on Twin Island, Snyder finally felt relieved. This time, Duke was doomed.
