Chapter 73 Exercise! Manta Ray Dash! (First Order)

The view above the ocean is so vast that it seems to reach the end of the world, and in the distance the sea level and the sky merge into one color.

Several fighter planes cut through the sky, and a huge fleet was lined up in an orderly manner on the sea.

The gray ships were large in the middle and small around, surrounding the flat-topped giant ship with the star-spangled flag flying, like guards flattering their king.

Inside the command room on the island of the giant flat-top ship with the hull number CVN-70, a large number of soldiers in blue camouflage uniforms were busy with their heads down.

Green data kept flashing on the monitors, and various simulation information was collected and summarized, and then sent to the decision makers in front of the command room.

'General, the hummingbird has reached the target.'

"The Kangaroo submarine arrived 5 nautical miles ahead of the target's route 20 minutes ago."

"The Little Days frigate requests to carry out the first strike mission."

Hearing the report from the person next to him, Admiral Cliff of the Ugly Eagle Pacific Command showed a sneer on his short bearded face.

"This vicious dog really wants to show off."

Cliff's comment made the other military generals around him who were involved in the command of the exercise laugh out loud.

"Tell Xiaori to stay in formation and do a good job of defense. I will let go of the rope when they bite."

"Yes, General!"

The messenger turned and left. Taking advantage of the height of the flat-top giant ship's island, Cliff looked at the magnificent fleet of ships in the sea ahead.

With such a majestic fleet under his control, Cliff felt like he was the king of this sea!

With this power, he is confident that he can destroy 80% of the forces on Blue Star!
Absolute force brings absolute confidence! And this is the absolute foundation for Ugly Eagle to dominate Blue Star for decades!

Looking back on his own promotion experience in the military, every major promotion was accompanied by blood, iron and destruction!
In the 90s, 00s and 10s, over the past three decades, Cliff rose from an unknown naval lieutenant commander to become an admiral.

Once your military rank reaches the level of general, it will not be easy to get further promotion.

He still has great ambitions for his career, and only a new conflict and destruction could pave the way for him to reach the top.

Looking down at the picture of the amphibious flat-top boat on the table in front of him, Cliff turned to a blond man in a white shirt behind him and said:
"The live-fire exercise will begin soon. You can pass on the message."

“Tell the Monkey King of Philippines to abandon his illusions. If he still wants to keep his assets in North America, let the monkeys move!”

"I don't want to see that the University of East China is so quiet. We must let the people of the University of East China know that this world is still ours!"

"Even without moral support, we can still make everyone stand against them with our fists!"

Cliff's voice was harsh. The main goal of this year's circum-ocean exercise was to intimidate the University of Tokyo, and striking down the younger brothers who had ulterior motives was a secondary goal.

"By the way, let's get that little island fake life moving too."

"Since you want us to protect him, then show some sincerity."

The man in the white shirt nodded and left, unlike the soldiers around him.

He came from another department of Ugly Eagle, and his only responsibility here was to convey instructions and connect the military with a local intelligence department.

"Launch the first wave of attack!"

"Yes, General!"

A live-fire attack on an amphibious flat-top target ship officially began.
-
At a depth of 1000 meters below the sea surface, sunlight is basically impossible to reach at this depth.

In the pitch-black sea, a little blue light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Marine life in the sea is attracted by the blue light, and some fish twist their bodies and swim towards the blue light.

As the distance between the two sides shortened, a large, pure black manta ray was seen sailing slowly under the blue light, with a little water flowing out from its tail.

In the Manta Ray cockpit, Wei Jiang was awakened by the alarm and opened his eyes to look at the screen.

12:27 noon. After being underwater for a long time, I couldn’t feel the day and night cycle and my biological clock was a little confused.

The alarm was turned off and dozens of large detection targets were displayed on the surround screen.

"330 meters, displacement 9 tons, target ship!"

"230 meters, 4 tons target, two ships!"

"120 meters, 5000 tons target 6 ships."

Looking at the additional detection targets on the screen, Wei Jiang knew that he had finally found the Ugly Eagle Ocean Exercise Fleet. These detection targets could not possibly be civilian ships. The exercise area had long been designated as restricted waters, and civilian ships were strictly prohibited from entering this sea area.

"Finally I found him."

Scanning the detected targets displayed on the surround screen, Wei Jiang noticed that there were two submarines at a depth of 15 meters 300 nautical miles ahead.

"There's no rush."

Wei Jiang just woke up and felt a cramp in his abdomen, and his expression became a little abstract.

"Manta Ray is good in every way, but why doesn't it have a toilet after being strengthened? Damn!"

With a gloomy face, he pulled out a plastic bag from the side and spread it out on the floor.

After a few awkward minutes, Wei Jiang turned the air maintenance module to maximum efficiency and tried his best not to look at a large black plastic bag in the corner.

"Next time I'll definitely bring a toilet with me."

When the air quality in the cabin recovered, Wei Jiang did not choose to float to the surface of the sea and dump the excrement out after he had relieved himself as he had done before.

With such a large-scale exercise of Ugly Eagle, there must be a large number of fighter jets monitoring the sea area, and surfacing to the sea surface is definitely a stupid choice.

Approaching quietly, Wei Jiang noticed that a target with a displacement of more than 4 tons was far away from the fleet.

Recalling the information he had previously searched on the Internet, Wei Jiang judged that this ship should be the target ship for the exercise.

The target ship is located between the two submarines and the fleet, which is a strong indication of targeting.

Now that we have come this far, there is no reason to retreat.

Adjust the seat and restrain your body tightly, just like you tied the black plastic bag just now, making sure it will not be thrown away during high-speed impact and cutting.

If that happens, it will be a safety accident.

The manta ray's speed remained at 10 knots, and under Wei Jiang's control it slowly approached the submarine target.

During the approach, the manta ray dives deep into the water and surfaces to the same height as the target submarine.

"Ninety nautical miles."

Looking at the detection information showing that one of the submarines was getting closer and closer, he was about to speed up and sprint, when suddenly a new detection target appeared on the surround screen.

A target only a few meters long was dropped by the submarine in front. The new target was moving faster and faster, and judging from its direction of travel, it was heading directly towards the target ship.

"torpedo!"

The appearance of the torpedo made Wei Jiang raise his eyebrows.

Although he decided to cause trouble during the circum-ocean exercise, Wei Jiang's heart beat faster when a torpedo really appeared.

Everything he does next is likely to cause a violent reaction from the other side, and the torpedo will most likely be fired at the manta ray.

"Don't be afraid! We'll wait until we can catch up with the manta ray!"

Wei Jiang's eyes flashed fiercely, he clenched his teeth, grabbed the push rod with his left hand and pushed it all the way forward. With a high-frequency buzzing sound, the blue light at the tail of the manta ray became brighter, and the speed number on the surround screen in the cockpit soared straight up! ——
In the narrow and cramped space of the submarine, the captain was staring intently at the sonar monitoring target displayed on the monitor in front of him.

A few seconds ago, the conventional-powered submarine he commanded delivered a crucial blow in the exercise!
At this moment, the torpedo target and the target ship target are all displayed on the monitor, and the distance between the two is rapidly closing.

This torpedo does not have wake-wave guidance capability, but the captain believes it can definitely cause fatal damage to the target ship.

“Five seconds, four seconds before reaching the target.”

The sonar soldiers reported numbers one after another based on the monitored sound signals.

Everyone in the submarine was silent, looking forward to the art of this explosion!

"3 seconds."

Then, there were no subsequent reports. They only saw the torpedo and target ship signal contact on the display, and then the torpedo signal disappeared.

Just as everyone was looking at the sonar soldier in confusion, the crew-haired sonar soldier suddenly shouted loudly:

"There is a super-high-speed target approaching abnormally!"

"Alarm! Alarm!"

In an instant, there was chaos in the submarine and red alarm lights began flashing!
Keep up the good work!
