Chapter 606: Dragon Walks Into the Water! (First Update!)
The head of the intelligence department answered very frankly and casually.
But this casual expression seemed a little inappropriate for America at this moment.
As a person who rose from the front line, White naturally understood why the head of the intelligence department said so.
But he still couldn't swallow this breath.
With a frown, he slapped his hand on the table again and asked sternly:
"Didn't your intelligence department take any action? Such a large missile destroyer, your intelligence department just watched from the side, without any movement, it's simply unreasonable!"
Hearing his words, the head of the intelligence department finally looked at him straight in the eye, then folded his hands in front of his chest and said softly:
"Mr. White, I won't call you Mr. Minister here. You have also been a soldier on the front line. Although you left the front line later, you also know what kind of life the soldiers on the front line have."
"Moreover, China is a nuclear power. Some time ago, they also tested hypersonic missiles and intercontinental missiles."
"If you have lost your intelligence analysis ability because you have been away from the front line for too long, then I will report to you again why they released this video."
"Because our president and vice president are dead, they feel We will find a target to attack like we did on 9/11."
"In the Middle East, Iraq and Libya have become our toys. The only target countries left are Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran."
"These countries are more or less related to China and have exchanges with it."
"If we now hold high the banner of revenge for Mr. President, it is very likely that we will launch attacks on the above countries."
"So, at this time, they stood up."
"They told us with a video that was not serious, but very serious."
"Don't move."
"If you don't move, then they are the protagonists in this video, the protagonists responsible for the funny things."
"If you move, then we have to think carefully about what we will encounter next."
"This is their deterrence!"
The words of the head of the intelligence department made the thoughts in White's mind disappear again. He picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them again carelessly.
The pictures in the documents came from the video released by China.
It was a very big ship, a very big ship.
According to the statistics of the intelligence department, the ship was equipped with 240 missiles.
Moreover, judging from the missile shells hoisted, all of them can be launched vertically, and they are all hypersonic missiles.
What is this concept?
The missiles loaded on this ship alone can blow up 90% of the countries in the world.
The remaining 10% can also be crippled.
These people are really crazy.
If they are not crazy, how can they think of loading more than 200 missiles on a ship? Aren’t they afraid that the ship will be written off?
That’s enough!
The hand holding the document unconsciously exerted force, wrinkling the document in front of him. Feeling the strange touch on his palm, White made up his mind, crumpled the paper, and then threw the information into the trash can.
Useless information!
Waste of time, waste of saliva.
"Your intelligence department should strengthen prevention, and remember to notify me if there is any news."
After admonishing the head of the intelligence department, White put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the office slowly to his own office.
Let's take a look at the attitudes of the two parties first. If it doesn't work, I, a traitor of the Democratic Party, can only betray again and return from the embrace of the Republican Party to the embrace of the Democratic Party.
I just don't know if those bastards will accept me.
Trouble.
Soon, he knew the attitudes of the Republicans and the Democrats.
Those beasts proposed in the Senate and the House of Representatives at the same time, demanding the removal of him as the Secretary of Defense, on the grounds that he did not manage the domestic defense well, which led to people with ulterior motives entering America from outside and assassinating the President and Vice President, and they succeeded.
Upon hearing this news, White was dismissive.
If it was a normal presidential election, he, the Secretary of Defense, could not do anything, but now it was an abnormal election.
As the Secretary of Defense, he could do something.
For example, send two people to death.
With a determined heart, he found two people in some top-secret archives of the Ministry of Defense.
…………
Local time in America, December 11, 2004, local time in China, December 12, 2004.
The Democratic presidential candidate was shot at a distance during his last speech before the election day.
The gunmen were very deadly. There were two of them, both former elite snipers of the American Marine Corps.
The two men worked together alternately, one shot the chest and the other shot the head.
Both shots hit at the same time.
Eliminated any possibility of survival.
Then the Democratic Party announced at the fastest speed that Hussein Odebiao would return as the only presidential candidate to participate in this 2004 election.
And almost at the same time as this candidate announced, another heavy news also exploded in America.
That is, after discussion, the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as those blue states, announced the same thing almost at the same time and in the same tone.
A new bill.
[Proposal on the normalization of the status of immigrants coming to America and the normalization of related rights and interests]
The core content of this bill is to grant those immigrants normal status, and also grant those irregular immigrants status, and also determine their rights and interests.
This successive news spread to Huaxia, Liancheng, and Lin Yu's people, and they were shocked.
In the office of Liancheng Shipyard.
Lu Huaxi, Zhou Changyao, He Qingyang, Long Hai, Lin Yu, Lin Canghai, and Lin Yuanpan sat together, watching these messages in silence.
Although the expressions of several people were a little weird, without exception, there was a hint of solemnity on their brows.
Because they didn't know whether to say that America was in retrograde this year, or that Americans were particularly crazy this year.
When the election was lively, everyone exposed each other's black material and stabbed each other in the back.
First, the Democratic presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate were attacked.
The person was not dead, but the vice presidential candidate was changed, and changed twice.
Then, on the same day, the president and vice president died. Just when everyone thought that all this should come to light and have a result, the day before the election, the Democratic presidential candidate died, and the person who was disqualified by the Democratic Party a few days ago.
Odebiao, who shouted about thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, once again qualified as a presidential candidate and became the candidate put forward by the Democratic Party.
And the proposal to normalize the status of foreign immigrants, once upon a time, America also did this.
That time it was aimed at Cuba. As long as you are a resident of Cuba, you will have an identity when you land in America.
Then the Cuban president at that time did something that was not considered unethical. He sold Cuban nationality to foreigners, clearly marked the price, and then deliberately organized people in private to smuggle across the border.
In just a few months, America canceled the relevant proposal.
This...
After reading the intelligence in full and confirming its authenticity, a group of people digested the news with different expressions. America's time is one day behind China. China is December 12th, and America is December 11th.
Tomorrow, America will start the election day.
Originally, everyone thought that this group of people should stop here, but they never expected that this group of people would not stop at this time.
After a long time, He Qingyang suddenly said: "This shows that the competition within America has reached a white-hot stage. When the politicians within America are blocked from fighting for power, they will definitely find ways to divert the contradictions."
"So, we can't wait any longer."
"Tomorrow is their election day. We have to launch the ship on the day of the election."
His suggestion fell into the ears of several other people. Several people tacitly did not speak, but turned around and set their eyes on Lin Canghai and Lin Yuanpan.
Being watched by everyone, the two father and son slowly raised their hands and pounded their chests: "Promise to complete the task."
Listening to the two people's answers, the others present did not say much, just sighed, and then a group of people stood up and left the room in silence.
…………
December 13, 2004, local time in China, the second day of the winter month in the lunar calendar.
Yi, Nacai Dingmeng opened the market for trading and established bonds.
December 12, 2004, local time in America.
The factory, which was originally extremely busy, stopped quietly today. All the workers returned to the dormitory, replaced by the navy wearing black winter uniforms.
No more, no less, a total of 720 people.
These 720 people stood upright on the seashore, standing next to the missile destroyer with the hull number 101. Each of them was a tall pine, and each of them had a look like lightning.
Let the falling snow fall on the shoulders, without moving.
Next to these 720 people are 117 engineers from the shipyard. They are all responsible for various specialties. At this moment, they are also dressed in capable clothes.
Like the navy next to them, they stand in neat rows, looking ahead with burning eyes.
Opposite these two teams are Lin Yu and others.
And the person standing at the front of the team is not Lu Huaxi or Zhou Changyao, but Lin Yu's fourth grandfather, Lin Yuanpan.
He is a general of the navy.
His old appearance did not cover up the pride in his heart. His eyes swept across the two teams like lightning, and his old voice blurted out:
"I have no extra words here, only one sentence, I wish you peace and smooth sailing."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was subconsciously silent, and the corner of their eyes were not destined to turn to the big ship in front of them.
This is a unique ship in the world and the largest missile destroyer in the world.
Many new technologies and new materials are used on it.
When it was built, everyone poured in twelve points of energy and twelve points of enthusiasm.
The ship is built.
Everyone was happy and excited.
But no matter how excited they were, they couldn't hide the fact that this ship had not been tested, and everyone present had no experience in building similar large ships.
As people in the industrial age, they knew very well that everything had a trial period, including the ship in front of them.
If the sea trial of this ship was successful, it would mean that Liancheng Shipyard had mastered the manufacturing process of the world's largest and most terrifying missile destroyer.
In the future, we only need to adjust the production line and the production process, and the Liancheng Shipyard will be able to unload ships like dumplings.
If the sea trial fails, the 720 officers and 117 engineers here will bear the brunt.
Then the people who approved the plan, the more than 6,000 workers in the shipyard, and finally the more than 200,000 people in the entire shipyard industrial chain will be in trouble.
We must be careful.
After Lin Yuanpan, the others did not speak, but just watched the two teams present silently.
Finally, at 9 o'clock in the morning, with Lin Yuanpan's call to board the ship, the two teams standing upright boarded the ship at the fastest speed.
When the ship's gangway was retracted, the tugboat appeared silently, fixed the cable, and the small body burst out with infinite power, forcibly dragging the fully loaded ship out of the shipyard's dock.
When the ship was towed to the sea and the tugboat unloaded the cable, everyone's heart was hanging at this moment.
At the top of the shipyard, Lu Huaxi and others watched all this anxiously through telescopes. Compared with them, Lin Yu seemed very calm.
He believed in himself, and even more so in the engineers below.
Because it was not a conventional power system, the power system of the 101 ship did not need too long to warm up. After about 20 minutes, a sharp whistle sounded on the ship.
After the whistle, white water began to surge behind the butt of the ship on the sea in the distance, like a blue dragon floating out of the water and playing on the water.
Soon, the ship on the sea moved.
The moment he saw the ship moving through the telescope, Lin Yuanpan leapt and hugged Lin Yu in his arms, shaking him wildly, shouting:
"Lin Yu, you are a genius, you are the pride of our Lin family, you are the pride of the motherland."
"The ship is moving, and the investment is enough even if it only builds a power system."
Faced with his excitement, Lin Yu couldn't help rolling his eyes, gently patted the old man aside, turned around and picked up the telescope hanging on his chest, and cast his eyes on the sea.
On the sea, the huge ship was moving slowly, slowly moving away from the land.
At the command desk of the ship, Lin Canghai's face was tense, and he kept counting in his mind. When he counted to the 240th number, he grabbed the communicator in front of him and started calling:
"This is the command desk, the power team is reporting the on-site operation of the power system. Repeat, this is the command center, the power team is reporting the on-site operation of the power system."
After a delay of more than ten seconds, another deep voice came from the speaker in front of Lin Canghai.
"This is the power team, the power system is running well, there are no hot spots, repeat, this is the power team, the power system is running well, there are no hot spots."
After receiving the reply from the power team, Lin Canghai smiled, and after a short silence, he called the power team again:
"Power team, stay alert at all times!"
