The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me
Chapter 239 Anti-ship missile failure
"Captain, don't hesitate any longer!"
The vice-captain pointed to the innermost part of the weapons depot, where a special kind of ship-to-ship missile was stored. This kind of missile is the missile that military officers have always strongly recommended to use, and it is called 'Flying Eagle'.
At this time, everyone understood that as long as they used the 'Flying Eagle' missile, they would be able to kill the enemy in one fell swoop.
"What are you doing standing still? Take action."
The vice-captain ordered without waiting for the captain to speak.
Several soldiers quickly went over to open the box of the 'Eagle' missile.
"Wait," the captain was still hesitating at this time, "let me think about it again."
When everyone heard this sentence, they all sighed softly in their hearts.
They didn't understand why the captain was still hesitating at this time. Could it be that the two large holes in the destroyer and what happened just now are not lessons profound enough?
But in fact, the captain had a reason for being so hesitant, and the reason was quite reasonable.
It turns out that the 'Eagle' missile is useful, but there is only one on the destroyer. If the enemy cannot be destroyed by launching it, the destroyer will have no trump card.
Moreover, this kind of missile is very expensive to build. It is difficult to say whether it is worth using it to deal with enemies in the first place. If it fails, tens of millions of dollars will be lost.
Speaking of which, the price of the enemy's missile boat is probably less than half that, right?
A more important reason is that the captain's superiors once ordered him that this missile should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Even if it must be used, it must be approved by superiors, otherwise it will be disobedience to military orders.
But the captain knows this, others don't.
The officers and even the deputy captain scratched their heads and scratched their heads anxiously when they saw that he was motionless.
"Captain -" an officer almost begged, "please don't hesitate. If you continue, you will suffer chaos."
"What do you know? Is this missile supposed to be used?"
The captain glared at everyone and simply stated the various reasons for rejection that he had considered.
After finally hearing this, most people were dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that there were so many ways to use just one missile.
Everyone wilted, but some were still unconvinced, saying that this situation should be handled in accordance with the "General's military orders abroad".
"That's enough. Have you said enough?" The captain was irritated. "Are you the captain, or am I the captain?"
He glanced at everyone and ordered everyone to listen to him.
After careful consideration, he made the final decision to use an ordinary ship-to-ship missile to deal with the enemy first.
As for the reason, he believed that although ordinary ship-to-ship missiles were used, their power was amazing. Based on past experience, let alone a missile boat, even a destroyer cannot withstand this ordinary anti-ship missile.
The captain is very confident. He feels that his experience as a soldier for so many years is completely reliable. But little did he know that he was careless again. How could Yang Xia and others be taken down so easily.
"Give me the order to move forward at full speed and pursue the enemy!"
After the soldier went to convey the captain's order, the captain turned to another soldier and continued: "You, immediately have someone prepare to launch the ship-to-ship missiles. As soon as the enemy's shadow appears, lock on them immediately and launch!"
Seeing that their suggestions were repeatedly rejected, the vice-captain and others were disappointed for a moment, and left unhappily with their lips pouting.
After a while, despite being quite dissatisfied with the captain, the vice-captain and the officers still stood on the deck with the captain.
Here in the weapons warehouse, several soldiers were transporting ship-to-ship missiles to the launchers. One of the recruits asked curiously while working.
"Brothers, there's one thing I don't understand." He looked around and saw no one around him. "You said the captain ordered this missile to be launched. If you can't just launch it, why are you chasing the enemy?"
"You are indeed a new recruit."
A veteran next to him knocked on his head and said that the reason was simple. Because the performance of this ordinary anti-ship missile cannot be compared with that of the 'Flying Eagle' missile.
Apart from anything else, given the range of this missile, it can only be effective if it catches up with the enemy.
While talking, the missile had been transported to the launch pad, and everyone became even busier, making necessary preparations before launch.
"Well, the enemy has appeared."
On the deck, the captain put down his telescope and said.
In fact, even without telescopes, they could still see the shadow of the ship in the distance.
He turned to look at the ship-to-ship missiles on the launcher and found that the soldiers had almost completed their preparations.
"The enemy is the enemy!"
On the missile boat, Xu Lei was the first to spot the shadow of the boat behind.
At first he thought it was just a fishing boat, but when he saw clearly through the telescope that it was a destroyer, he was stunned.
Hearing Xu Lei's exclamation, everyone immediately came over.
When they confirmed it was Yingjiang, everyone's faces were filled with nervousness.
Chen Zijin had already begun to complain, saying that the ship should not slow down. If it kept that speed, the enemy might not be able to catch up.
"Okay, stop nagging." Yao Jie wanted to cover Chen Zijin's mouth, but he also panicked, "If the enemy catches up, they must be prepared. Could it be..."
He no longer dared to continue talking, or even to continue thinking.
"No need to ask, you just guessed it right."
Yang Xia took over Yao Jie's words and pointed to the destroyer, asking them to take a closer look.
After everyone looked at it again, they couldn't help but take a breath.
Because the huge ship-to-ship missile on the destroyer was aimed at their missile boat.
"It's over." The telescope in Xiao Jin's hand slipped. "Ship-to-ship missiles are no joke. A missile boat like ours is not enough to fill the gap between our teeth."
For the next ten seconds, everyone was silent.
There was no trace of panic on Yang Xia's face, but instead seemed to be deep in thought.
"Everyone, don't be discouraged. I have a way to deal with them."
"Oh?"
When everyone heard this sentence, their nervousness eased a lot and they all looked over.
They were almost all asking Yang Xia with their eyes what he could do.
Yang Xia smiled proudly, pointed to the ship and cabin, and said that the missile boat he designed had another ability that could deal with the opponent's ship-to-ship missiles.
"What kind of skills do you have? Tell me quickly."
Chen Zijin widened his eyes and gestured to him.
"Let's not talk about the capabilities of the missile boat. Let's talk about the missile on the opposite side first."
Yang Xia continued, saying that he was familiar with the opponent's ship-to-ship missile. Indeed, it is powerful enough to sink a missile boat with one shot, but this guy also has a fatal weakness.
That is his guidance method, which actually uses heat tracking and magnetic field tracking to find enemies.
"So, as long as we destroy this guidance method?"
After speaking, he gave everyone a meaningful look.
"You mean, let Xiao Jin invade the guidance system of the enemy's missile and then destroy it?" "No."
Hearing Yang Xia say no, Chen Zijin glanced at him and Yao Jie, feeling confused and angry.
She said angrily to Yang Xia that hacking into the missile's guidance system seemed to be the only way. If that didn't work, what could he do?
"Don't worry, I said if there's a way, there's a way." Yang Xia continued with a sly smile, "Can you think about the problem instead of just following the way you think about it? Try to think about it the other way around."
After hearing this, everyone was silent again. For a while, they didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
Seeing that no one understood what he meant, Yang Xia simply said it directly.
"Look at this missile boat," he tapped the hull. "This missile boat I designed has several very interesting features."
"First of all, I installed a high-power heat-absorbing device in the cabin, so that the missile's heat tracker can be misled. In addition, the ship is non-magnetic, which can also check and balance the missile."
At this point, everyone has woken up. Yang Xia finally added that he also installed a magnetic field misdirection instrument on the missile boat.
With this three-pronged approach, I believe that the missile will not be able to cause harm to the missile boat despite its sharp eyes.
"Let me go, Lao Yang, you are so awesome." Yao Jie touched the hull of the boat and asked, "How did you think of doing this? Did you not know what happened today?"
Regardless of whether it was a prophet or not, everyone finally laughed out loud. After all, this way, they can face the missile with peace of mind.
"Let's go, no more chatting." Yang Xia pointed to the cabin, "I will take you to see and open those instruments."
Several people came to the cabin at the bottom of the ship. After Yang Xia opened two canvases, two instruments were exposed. One of them is a device to remove heat from the hull, and the other is a magnetic field misdirection device.
Because he knew there was no time, he did not continue to introduce anything to everyone and directly turned on the two instruments.
Then they returned to the deck and observed the enemy's movements again.
"How are the preparations going?"
On the destroyer, the ship's missiles were just ready when the captain's voice came over the intercom.
He was standing on the deck at this time, watching the movement of the missile.
The soldier did not answer from the intercom, but looked to the deck and gestured a big OK to the captain.
After seeing this, the captain ordered the ship-to-ship missiles to be launched immediately.
Whoosh!
After the launch button was pressed, the missile flew towards Yang Xia and others.
"coming."
On the missile boat, everyone clenched their fists when they saw the missile flying over with a long tail.
The missile flew closer and closer. At first, everything was normal, but what happened next shocked Chen Zijin and others.
I saw that after the missile flew to the missile boat, it did not hit the hull. Instead, it flew directly over the boat, like a blind man.
"Fly...fly over?!"
Even after the missile flew over, Chen Zijin and others still couldn't believe their eyes.
They were stunned for more than ten seconds before they burst into cheers together.
"what happened?"
After seeing the missile flying over the missile boat, everyone on the destroyer and Yingjiang's side felt as if they were in a dream. At first they all thought they were dazzled, but after taking a closer look, they finally couldn't close their mouths.
All the Yingjiang soldiers who saw this scene thought at first that they had encountered something supernatural. But the captain knew very well that this must be some misleading device installed on the other side's ship.
He has been in the military for so many years and knows something about this kind of thing.
But after realizing this, he was even more surprised. After all, this kind of equipment is actually installed on a mere missile boat.
He knew that none of their destroyers had such high-tech gadgets.
"captain-"
The few officers next to him wanted to say something but did not dare to say it. They suddenly realized that what the captain had just done was right.
If the captain listened to them at first and used the only 'Flying Eagle' missile as soon as he came up, then I'm afraid the consequences would be the same.
The only difference is that much more money will be wasted.
"Well, it seems...it's time."
The captain muttered to himself. He didn't explain clearly, but everyone here understood what he meant.
Indeed, when things have reached this point, they can only use the ultimate trump card, which is the 'Flying Eagle' missile.
"follow me."
The captain only said three simple words, and everyone followed him.
After arriving at the weapons warehouse again, the captain walked directly to the 'Flying Eagle' missile.
"Tell me, are we going to have to use this in the end?"
He turned to face everyone and asked, and everyone nodded affirmatively.
What's more, things have developed to this point. Yingjiang has no way out. A mere missile boat is now driving them crazy.
The captain touched the missile and was about to say something but hesitated.
He secretly thought to himself that this was the last way to deal with the enemy. What if the thing didn't work? If so, it's not just tens of millions of dollars lost.
After much thought, he made a very smart decision and prepared to ask his superiors directly for instructions. This way, if something goes wrong, the responsibility can be passed on to the superior.
Du-du—
The call was quickly connected, and the colonel on the other end spoke very slowly: "What's wrong? Is there any military information?"
"Yes, Colonel."
The captain hesitated for a moment, and first told about the recent battle with the missile boat. His original intention was to describe the enemy's strength, but who could have expected that the colonel would immediately curse him after hearing this.
"How can a mere missile boat do this to you?" On the other end of the phone, spittle seemed to be flying everywhere, "What do you do for food? This captain doesn't want to do it anymore?"
Everything was as expected, and the captain did not refute or defend. After all, he knew very well that the colonel was scolding him like this, but he didn't know how difficult the enemy was.
Continuing to explain, the captain almost cried as he explained the various powerful weapons and equipment on the missile boat.
But how could the senior colonel care about this? In his opinion, they were the Eagle Navy, and such a destroyer allowed the enemy to play around, which was simply embarrassing!
The colonel continued to curse, and the captain became more and more angry and almost hung up the phone.
But in the end he calmed down, tried to explain, and asked to use the missile.
"I will tell you that you can use that missile, but if you still can't defeat the enemy after using it, get out of here right away."
The colonel didn't want to continue talking to the captain at all. After saying this, he hung up the phone directly.
After putting down the phone, the captain was furious, but he didn't dare to get angry. After all, all his subordinates are watching him now, and the top priority is to deal with the enemy.
"What are you doing in a daze? Get ready now!"
The captain pointed at the missile and ordered the soldiers who were in a daze.
Everyone quickly got busy and first hoisted the missile to the launch site. The captain did not dare to be careless and watched the whole process in person. It seemed that this was the only way to feel relieved. (End of chapter)
