Chapter 458 Desperate Powell
Chapter 458 Desperate Powell
boom!
A sudden loud roar interrupted the conversation between the two.
The faces of Powell and the deputy captain changed slightly. Such a violent explosion must have caused an accident on the frontline battlefield.
"What happened?" the lieutenant colonel's deputy captain asked eagerly.
"report!"
A communicator stood up with a pale face, "Report, a message from the helicopter squadron."
"Say."
The communicator's hands trembled a little, and his voice trembled, "There was a violent explosion on the eastern cliff, and the entire cliff collapsed in the explosion. Major Darren of the Marine Corps who was in charge of encircling and suppressing the target, and all the soldiers present, are dead or alive!"
As soon as the sound came out, the entire command center was silent, and a needle could be heard.
Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened wide.
The deputy captain of the lieutenant colonel rushed over and grabbed the communicator by the collar, "How is it possible? Tell you, you will be court-martialed if you lie about military information!"
"Sir...sir, that's what the news says."
Boom!
Powell slammed his fist on the table, his eyes became blood red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Let the drone send the picture over, I want to see for myself what happened!"
At this time, Powell was still full of doubts, and he couldn't imagine why this happened.
You must know that there were nearly elite American Marines. Even on the Middle East battlefield at this time, the United States did not have such a big loss.
If this matter is true, then not to mention him as a colonel, I am afraid that the headquarters of the Second Fleet and even the entire United States will experience a huge shock!
Standing quietly in front of the super-large display screen in the command room, everyone here can see the cliff that is still collapsing and falling stones, and around a dozen helicopters are circling at low altitude, searching for those who fell into the sea. Marine soldiers.
Turning around silently, Powell sat in his command position, staring blankly ahead.
At this point his mind went blank.
"Your Excellency, what shall we do now?"
After regaining his senses, Powell looked at his subordinates who were anxiously looking at him, and calmed down. As the highest officer of the entire fleet, there are still many things waiting for him to do now.
"Immediately send all the search and rescue boats and personnel in the fleet that can participate in the rescue, and find all the soldiers who fell into the sea, even if they are corpses!"
"Yes!" One person immediately responded and went down to convey the order.
Powell spoke again: "Order, cruiser "Lake Chamberlain" (CG 57), cruiser "Port Royal" (CG 73), frigate "Lentz" (FFG46), USS "Ashville" (SSN 758) Nuclear submarine, the "Jefferson City" (SSN 759) nuclear submarine immediately blocked the surrounding sea area, telling them that they can launch an attack first if they find any unknown target!"
"Golden Eagle's 112th Early Warning Squadron, 31st Patrol Squadron, and 8th Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron take off immediately, all ships are on first-level combat readiness, active radar is turned on, and all weapons are ready!"
The captain of the lieutenant colonel trembled when he heard his officer's order, and stammered: "Captain...is it too..."
Powell gave him a cold look, and immediately swallowed all his words.
Looking at the soldiers who went down to convey the order, Powell came to the command position with a cold face, and said, "Get me the headquarters!"
…………
Following Powell's order, the entire fleet immediately became lively.
At this time, the Stennis Heim formation is like a beast with its fangs and claws, completely revealing its ferocious side.
Within a few kilometers of the entire island, dozens of helicopters of various types hovered at low altitude, and search and rescue boats were also coming and going on the sea.
Under the surface of the water, the sonar scans of the nuclear submarines "Asheville" (SSN 758) and "Jefferson City" (SSN 759) thoroughly searched every inch of the entire seabed.
What they didn't expect was that Lin Dong and Sophie were thousands of meters away, 500 meters below the seabed, and they were speeding towards the distance at a speed of more than 50 knots.
Even without the stealth feature, Powell's fleet would never be able to find them.
Lin Dong wasn't worried at all about what these Americans would do in the future.
Revenge is certain, anyway, the other party has already focused on him, so Lin Dong doesn't care so much anymore.
The most important thing now is to get the laboratory and the research equipment obtained from Daniel to Africa as soon as possible, otherwise something may happen.
When it comes to Africa, Lin Dong is really not afraid of these Americans.
As long as they are not launching real wars, some small-scale attacks or something, Lin Dong naturally has the courage and strength to play with them.
And according to Lin Dong's analysis, although he must have annoyed those Yankees this time, the other party may not really spend a lot of time on this matter.After all, it is still March 2012. Whether it is Villa or Syria, they are holding back a lot of energy from the United States. Compared with these places, Lin Dong and the others are much inconspicuous.
At most, he defined himself and Dragon Soul as terrorists or something, and Dragon Soul's behavior would definitely be affected in the future.And there will be more unexpected enemies will appear in the future.
But if you think about it the other way around, this matter is also a huge improvement for Dragon Soul's reputation in the world, at least some cats and dogs may not have the guts to provoke them.
Moreover, there are still many countries or forces in the world that do not deal with the United States openly or secretly. Lin Dong is not worried that they will not have tasks to do next.
After all, I am a mercenary, so I don't have to worry too much about some aspects.
This is also the fundamental reason why many countries in the world hate this profession.
Taking out the mobile phone provided by the system, Lin Dong immediately contacted Wall and the others who were still in the training camp, and ordered them to leave Nigeria immediately with almost soldiers who had already been trained, and transfer them to the base in Tanzania.
After Lin Dong returned to the base, he would install the defense system and weapons as soon as possible, so that they would have the capital to protect themselves.
Next, I am afraid that I will need to resist the retaliation of the Americans by myself. As long as I can successfully resist a few times, then there should be some respite.
After receiving the news from Lin Dong, Wall and the others also acted immediately.
However, what Lin Dong did this time is only known to the members of the first team, that is, only the system summoned members know.
As for Ben's second team, Lin Dong hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet.
After all, after this incident, they must have formed an enmity with the United States. It's okay if they are lonely, don't worry about the despicable methods those guys from the CIA use, but it's not good for people like Ben who drag their families with their mouths.
After all, it is impossible for Lin Dong to bring all of Ben's family to the base.So regarding the second team, Lin Dong still couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Thanks to the book friend Gufeng Jianying for the reward!
