Chapter 208 Conflict Escalation
Liu Hui commanded Xiao Hei to quickly kill the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group of the US Navy. It took less than 10 minutes, which gave him a more direct understanding of Xiao Hei's powerful combat effectiveness.

Xiao Hei turned and left the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group. It ignored the American soldiers floating on the sea, but continued to move towards the Persian Gulf.Finally, half an hour later, Xiao Hei arrived at Dammam Port in Saudi Arabia, where he found Star Group's seawater desalination plants near Dammam Port.

Except for Liu Hui and Zhou Tengyun, Ah Huo and the others didn't know about Xiao Hei's existence.Xiao Hei's swimming movements are very small now, basically making no sound, so Ah Huo's equipment on the desalination ship failed to detect Xiao Hei's trace.They are strictly carrying out Liu Hui's orders, strengthening their vigilance against the sea, the sky and the bottom of the sea to prevent the US military from attacking them. They don't know that the super weapon sent by Liu Hui to protect them has arrived.

After Xiao Hei found the star group's desalination ship, he immediately knew through his sensing ability that the four desalination ships were in a safe state.Liu Hui, who was far away in Hong Kong, let go of a big stone in his heart, so he directed Xiao Hei to leave the desalination ship of the Star Group and began to conduct cruise detection in the waters near the Persian Gulf.

Xiao Hei traveled along the northwest direction of the Persian Gulf all the way to the waters of Kuwait. It was only [-] kilometers south of Kuwait that it discovered another US nuclear submarine.Liu Hui immediately asked Xiao Hei to approach the nuclear submarine quietly, and sensed the nuclear submarine. Then, by eavesdropping on the conversations of the American soldiers in the nuclear submarine, he knew that the nuclear submarine was the USS Hampton of the US Navy. "Nuclear submarine.It was also the nuclear submarine that attempted to attack Star Group's seawater desalination ship from under the seabed, but this nuclear submarine was startled away by the active sonar attack on the seawater desalination ship, but now it is hiding in the waters near Kuwait.If Liu Hui hadn't been extremely cautious, he might have ignored its existence.

Now that Liu Hui has discovered the "USS Hampton" nuclear submarine belonging to the US Navy, he naturally wants to destroy the nuclear submarine.Liu Hui cannot tolerate the presence of US Navy military forces in the Persian Gulf, otherwise, if he is negligent, this nuclear submarine will seriously threaten the safety of the Star Group's desalination ships in the Persian Gulf.

So Liu Hui directed Xiao Hei to rush up, and directly wrapped Xiao Hei's 200-meter-long body around the "Hampton" nuclear submarine, and then Xiao Hei pulled the "Hampton" nuclear submarine into the deep sea, hoping to rely on The powerful water pressure in the deep sea flattened the "Hampton" nuclear submarine.

However, Liu Hui didn't know that the depth of the Kuwait waters was only more than 100 meters at most, and the water pressure there was simply not enough to crush the "Hampton" nuclear submarine.So Xiao Hei began to change the way of fighting. It rolled up the "Hampton" nuclear submarine with its tail high, and then used the nuclear submarine as a stake, and smashed the nuclear submarine into the hard seabed with all its strength. After smashing, the hard shell of the "Hampton" nuclear submarine was finally smashed by Xiao Hei.The sea water outside began to rush into the nuclear submarine quickly, drowning all the American soldiers who had been shaken unconscious for a long time, and then the nuclear submarine sank quietly on the bottom of the Persian Gulf.Because the nuclear submarine had been in a state of radio silence for safety, and Xiao Hei's attack was so sudden that they had no time to send out a distress signal, so no one knew that the nuclear submarine had sunk.

After Xiaohei quickly dealt with the "Hampton" nuclear submarine, he continued to conduct cruise detection in the Persian Gulf. During this period, he also found some small warships and small conventional submarines from the Gulf countries, but Liu Hui did not take action against these countries. Warships and submarines, after all, they are not the targets of the Star Group this time, and Liu Hui does not want to provoke trouble casually.

Xiao Hei quickly swam in a Z shape in the Persian Gulf, carefully detecting the waters of the Persian Gulf, but he never found the military power of the US military in the Persian Gulf.Only then did Liu Hui feel at ease and let Xiao Hei come near the seawater desalination ship of the Star Group, where it found a trench to lurk and provide safety protection for the seawater desalination ship.

It was just nightfall in the Pentagon of the United States, but the meeting room of the Ministry of Defense was full of American soldiers. From the epaulets on their shoulders, it can be seen that the lowest rank of American soldiers here is also the rank of brigadier general.

"My generals, we have just received news that our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group has been wiped out in the Persian Gulf." Secretary of Defense Gates knocked on the table, and then uttered a heavy message from his mouth .

"Mr. Gates, it's already past April Fool's Day, why do you still play this kind of joke with us? And you also called all of us over at night. You must know that our aircraft carrier battle group is invincible in the world. There is no power that can destroy it, even the former Soviet Union does not have this ability, so your joke is not funny at all!" A huge general said dissatisfied.After all, since World War II, the U.S. Navy has never experienced the destruction of an aircraft carrier battle group. Even during the decades of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, their aircraft carrier battle group was not even attacked by the other party even once. , so no wonder he refused to believe this fact.

"Everyone, I don't want to believe that this is true, but it is absolutely true, and it has already happened. After verification, our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group is indeed over, and the location is in Arabia. The Strait of Hormuz." Gates said seriously.

"Oh, my God! How is this possible. The "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group is one of our most powerful aircraft carrier battle groups. Its hull is so strong that even if it is directly attacked with heavy artillery, dozens of shells It may not be able to sink it even if it goes down. How could it be completely destroyed in the Strait of Hormuz?" A general said in surprise. He was shocked by the news at the same time.

"It's actually in the Strait of Hormuz. Could it be that the arrogant Iranians have finally declared war on us? These cunning Iranians dared to launch a sneak attack on us, and even destroyed our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group, We, the United States, should immediately declare war on Iran, guillotine their spiritual leader, then liberate their people and bring them democracy," shouted a radical general.

All of a sudden, these generals were discussing one after another, and there was a noisy sound in the room.Suddenly a voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. President is here."

Immediately, the generals in the room fell silent. They stood up at the same time and looked at the door.The door of the room was opened, and the President of the United States entered the meeting room accompanied by a middle-aged man.

"Everyone, please sit down! I just heard the news that our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group was wiped out. Today is really a sad day. I am not an expert in military affairs. I am here now just to hear Let me tell you about what happened in the Strait of Hormuz?" the President of the United States said calmly.

The Secretary of Defense stood up and said: "Mr. President, generals, let us take a look at the pictures taken from the scene first!" Then the lights in the conference room were turned off, and a video was played on the screen on the opposite wall. Zhang Zhang pictures come.

These pictures were taken by the surviving supply tanker "Big Horth". In these clear pictures, you can see how the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier caught fire after being hit, and you can also see the "Hugh City" missile The tragic scene of the cruiser being turned upside down on the sea, the desperate photos of the guided missile destroyer "McFaul" that swept away American soldiers when it sank, the guided missile destroyer "Kearney" and the guided missile destroyer "Farragut" when they sank. The horror scene of people escaping, the ending of the two small frigates is even more miserable, and the picture finally freezes to the appearance of the "Sakagavi" ammunition ship when it was sunk.

"My God! This is so tragic..."

"Impossible, what weapon caused this, how could it be possible to beat our powerful aircraft carrier battle group like this."

"Oh my god! Most of the soldiers on that side failed to escape, we don't know how many excellent soldiers we lost..."

"Mr. President, generals, you have seen these photos, and you know that the destruction of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group is not a rumor. So I called you here today to discuss how to deal with this situation." Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group is completely wiped out." Gates said expressionlessly.

A general asked: "Mr. Gates, as far as I know, our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group has always been deployed in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. How could it suddenly appear in the Strait of Hormuz? Knowing that the sea water there is not deep, it is not suitable for aircraft carrier battle groups to launch operations, and there are threats of Iranian artillery on the east shore."

Gates glanced at the president, saw the president nodded to him, and said: "Everyone, the reason why the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group appeared in the Strait of Hormuz this time is because they are going to the Persian Gulf to carry out the mission. A top secret mission."

"Now the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group has been wiped out because of this top-secret mission. We demand to know the content of this top-secret mission." Another general said, and his proposal was immediately supported by others.

Just as Gates was about to speak, the middle-aged man who had been with the president said, "Everyone, let me explain to you the top-secret mission carried out by the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group!"

The President of the United States said: "This top-secret mission was formulated by Director Smith of the CIA, so let him give you an explanation!"

So the CIA director named Smith said: "Everyone, everyone must know that the Star Group in Hong Kong has invented a new technology that can desalinate seawater in large quantities. This new technology can not only desalinate seawater in large quantities and quickly, but also its The cost of desalination is also very low and cheap, and the cost is even lower than the price of pumping water from the ground.”

After hearing what Director Smith said, the generals below immediately started talking.

"Is there really such a technology?"

"How is it possible, how can desalination of seawater be cheaper than pumping groundwater?"

"Isn't the Star Group selling medicine? When did it enter the seawater desalination market?"

Smith waited for the generals to finish their discussion before continuing: "Everyone knows the importance of this seawater desalination technology. It can be said to be related to the future development of all mankind. But this technology is now kept in the hands of a private company, and The owner of this company is still from the Red China, do you think this can make people feel at ease?"

"Of course I don't worry."

"Let's get to the point!"

Smith said: "Our government is doing some negotiations on this technology, but it is obviously not willing to let us get this technology, so he has set a high bar for us to participate in the research of this technology. If they say If we do that, the United States will lose control of this desalination technology, which has seriously damaged our national interests."

"So?" one of the generals asked.

"So we sent our technicians to investigate and understand the seawater desalination ship of the Star Group in the Gulf area, so as to evaluate whether this desalination technology is real, and at the same time, we can also find out whether it will affect the surrounding area. caused pollution to the environment. However, the Star Group rejected our good intentions. They not only drove away our technicians, but also captured our two American soldiers who escorted these technicians. They also destroyed our transport helicopter ’” Smith said angrily.

"It's abominable..."

"We should send out our army to let the Star Group know how powerful we are..."

"So, we sent our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group to the Persian Gulf to show Star Group some color, but unexpectedly they had an accident in the Strait of Hormuz, which caused the entire army to The emergence of the destruction situation, this is the ins and outs of the whole thing." Smith said both true and false, he pushed all the reasons for the conflict with the Starry Sky Group to the Starry Sky Group.

Some of the generals here are sensible people, but at this special sad time, they are unwilling to tell the truth they know, lest they offend some people and harm their own future.

So after learning of the top-secret mission of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group, Smith's goal was achieved, and the simple-minded soldiers in the room began to denounce the Star Group loudly.

Gates suddenly said: "Everyone, our purpose today is to analyze the reasons for the destruction of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group and what we should do next. It is not to condemn the Star Group, please don't digress. Now everyone Can anyone tell me how our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group was destroyed?"

The generals below suddenly remembered the situation they were facing now, and only then realized that they had strayed from the topic, so they immediately became speechless.Let them go to war. They are experts. You can ask them to analyze the specific cause of the accident. With their current military level and without more on-site clues, they can't analyze the cause at all. It led to the destruction of the entire army of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group.

If the attack was from a missile attack in the sky, it might have caused such an effect, but the American soldiers who survived did not find any traces of a missile attack in the sky, and the spy satellites deployed by the United States in the Persian Gulf area No missile launches have been detected in the Strait of Hormuz either.

If the attack came from artillery on land, the American soldiers at that time did not hear the sound of shelling, let alone the sound of shell explosion, so the possibility of shelling on land can also be ruled out.

Since the attack did not originate from the sky or land, there was only one possibility, and that was that the attack came from below the sea surface.It's just that because there are too few clues, they can't analyze the specific situation at all.But one thing they can be sure of now is that the forces that attacked the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group this time are definitely not Iranians, because even under the sea, the Iranians are not the opponents of the US Navy, and the Iranians have been captured by the US Navy. The army was so frightened that there was no courage to launch a pre-emptive war. So who attacked the US Navy?
Seeing that the scene fell into a cold scene, the President of the United States suddenly said: "Everyone, I suggest that we form an accident investigation team. This investigation team will immediately rush to the Strait of Hormuz to conduct this accident investigation and find out what happened to the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier. What happened to the group. However, the Star Group’s seawater desalination ship in the Persian Gulf still detains two of our outstanding soldiers, so we should send another aircraft carrier formation into the Persian Gulf, which will not only save our outstanding soldiers Soldiers, you can also teach that arrogant Star Group a lesson, and at the same time provide force protection for our accident investigation team, so that our accident investigation team will not repeat the mistakes of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group."

Smith immediately said: "Mr. President's suggestion is very good, and I also agree that we are mobilizing an aircraft carrier battle group into the Persian Gulf. We can't let the Star Group be free after insulting our US government. We must give them this time. A nice one."

Gates next to him suddenly said: "Mr. President, I'm not giving you cold water. What I want to ask is that we haven't found out what caused our "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group to be wiped out. I just analyzed from those pictures that we encountered a powerful attack from an unknown weapon on the seabed. Under that powerful attack, our aircraft carrier battle group had no power to fight back. If the aircraft carrier battle group we sent this time is in Huo If the Strait of Armuz encounters such a powerful attack, how should we deal with this situation?"

The President of the United States frowned and said: "Mr. Gates, we in the United States have the most powerful military force in the world. This is what we have piled up with an annual military expenditure of 6000 trillion U.S. dollars. They are used to protect our national security. But now our national security has been clearly threatened by the Star Group, so we must send our armed forces to board their seawater desalination ships in the Persian Gulf and get their seawater desalination technology. Because only in this way can we protect us The long-term development of the United States, isn’t our US military established just to protect national interests? And our time is very urgent now. If we don’t act now, once the Star Group reacts, they will give those seawater desalinators to If it is destroyed, we will get nothing?"

Gates said: "Mr. President, but if the threat in the Strait of Hormuz is not clearly understood, the security of our military will not be guaranteed, and there may be big problems at that time."

The President of the United States said: "The Saudi government, together with Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and several other countries, formally protested to us, forbidding us to use their domestic bases to attack the Star Group's desalination ships, so our army started by land. The line has been cut off. What we can rely on now is our powerful navy. For the sake of our country, shouldn't our soldiers take a risk? We must know that if we don't seize this favorable opportunity, we will There will be no such good opportunities in the future. And we have lost the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group, if we get nothing, I think the American people will throw us out tomorrow."

Gates hesitated for a moment, and said: "But as far as we know, Star Group's seawater desalination ship is not so easy to deal with. A mysterious weapon appeared on their ship. The shells fired by that mysterious weapon are very fast. , It is said that it has exceeded Mach [-], and we have suffered from this weapon before. And we have no way to deal with this mysterious weapon, if we act rashly now, we may suffer a big loss. "

The President of the United States said: "It is because I know that there are mysterious weapons on those desalination ships that I decided to send our powerful aircraft carrier battle group to deal with them. Under the crushing of our powerful aircraft carrier battle group, that A few seawater desalination ships are nothing more than ants. They can't deal with our powerful war machines at all. The only way is to surrender. In this way, we can not only avenge our previous revenge, but also get the mysterious weapons and their desalination technology."

Gates shook his head and said: "Mr. President, but why do you think that there is only one mysterious weapon on the Star Group's seawater desalination ship? You must know that the Star Group has always been very mysterious, and no one knows the specific situation inside them. If At that time, they will have a new mysterious weapon, so what should we do? And who can say that what happened in the Strait of Hormuz was not done by them? Repeat the mistakes of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group."

Gates continued to refute the words of the President of the United States, which made the President of the United States a little angry, but Gates talked about issues from the perspective of realistic threats, and the President of the United States had no way to refute him, so he said from the other side: "Gates Sir, I trust your judgment, because you are a professional soldier. But have you ever thought about the current situation in the United States? Our economy is weak now, and military spending is getting more and more difficult. If there is no better situation, we will The global military contraction has been carried out. At that time, the interests of the United States in the world will not be guaranteed, which will seriously shake the foundation of our United States. And if we are so hesitant in the face of a small regional company, then Those rogue countries will definitely think that we have become weak and start to challenge our hegemony. This is a very troublesome thing for us. We have already taken action against the Star Group, so we must do our best, if we If we stop if we don’t get benefits, they will condemn us. They are also condemned. Why don’t we accept their condemnation after getting enough benefits? When this seawater desalination technology is available, our American economy will be in the future. Isn't that the case with safeguards to maintain our strong American military?"

Gates hesitated for a while, and finally found that he was moved by the President of the United States. He said: "Okay, as Mr. President said! But we also need to find out what happened in the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible. "

The President of the United States breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Until this matter is completed, we must keep the situation of the destruction of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group a secret. No one can leak this secret. And in order to ensure this With the success of this operation, we will expand the level of conflict with the Star Group this time, and we will treat them as a powerful country. As for the specific operational arrangements, let Mr. Smith explain it!"

The director of the CIA Smith immediately took over the topic and said, "Since this is the case, let us discuss the specific plan for this operation!"
