Chapter 2547 Fly up at all costs

Chapter 2547 Fly up at all costs
Deer Island.

In the outer waters, two destroyers were patrolling the surroundings. The order they received was that no one was allowed to approach Kashima.

As for the scope of "anyone", it is clearly stated above that it does not include anyone outside the United States.

So, both destroyers aimed to the west.

"Xiao Lin, don't be nervous, sit down and rest!"

"Hi, Captain!"

Kobayashi Keiichiro, with a childish face, nodded in response to what Captain Miyaheijiro said, then sat aside, looking at the blue sky, feeling the swaying of the warship, his expression full of longing.

Miyaheijiro smiled again, and at the same time felt in his heart that the current sailors were far worse than before.

They are all half-grown children. How can they have the courage of a real man?

But it's understandable.

After the war, the energy accumulated over decades was completely consumed, resulting in the current mess.

To the extent that a destroyer of more than 800 tons has become a facade, it is simply ridiculous.

Looking back to the past, those giant battleships were the symbol of the country.

But now?

The economic development is indeed good, but there is no means to protect the wealth.

This is like a child guarding a mountain of gold. If a robber wants to take it, he can take it away.

And they had no chance to resist at all.

Therefore, if you want to keep your current wealth, you must arm yourself.

At the very least, you can't do nothing.

"Captain Miyaheijiro, can we really succeed this time?"

Suddenly, Kobayashi Keiichiro's voice came to his ears, and in an instant, Miyaheijiro jumped up from the ground like a cat with its tail cut off.

"Baga, bastard, what do you mean by success?"

"It must succeed!"

"In the life of a man of the Great River, there is only success, no failure."

Kobayashi Keiichiro was so scared that he quickly stood up and kept lowering his head.

"Hi!"

"Hey, I got it."

"Hey, I understand."

"Hi~~"

buzzing...

Just as Kobayashi Keiichiro kept admitting his mistakes, Miyaheijiro suddenly pressed down on his head, and then a strange-toned combat alarm was heard.

The next second, the two of them didn't have time to think and immediately ran to their battle posts.

"Yes, it's China's Li Guang!"

Suddenly, a sharp sound came from the radar room, and then the entire destroyer began to accelerate.

As the saying goes, the one who understands you is not yourself, but your opponent.

There is always a fear of China in their hearts.

A fear of retaliation.

Scholars familiar with Chinese history know how persistent this nation is in pursuit of revenge.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying that “It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.”

If this is the case with individuals, what about the nation?
Therefore, this fear is rooted in the nation's bones and will be passed down from generation to generation.

The only way to cure it is to destroy one side.

But now it seems that it might be myself who will be destroyed.

His thoughts were in a mess. The captain tried to hold back his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, refocused his eyes, and swallowed his saliva.

He was familiar with the Li Guang because it was a missile cruiser.

And what about them?

What's the use of relying on only three 120mm main guns?

I guess before they even saw the other side, they were sent into the sea by the other side's missiles.

How to fight with this asymmetric combat method?
"Captain, what should I, should we, do?"

Seeing Kobayashi Keiichiro's cowardly behavior, Miyaheijiro went up and slapped him in the face.

"Damn it, Bakayaloo!"

"Show me the courage of a man of the river! Fight like a man. Fight."

"Hi!"

Kobayashi Keiichiro endured the pain in his cheek, his legs trembling as he tried hard, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.

But in my heart, I wanted to throw that damn river man into the sea.

Several people around him all looked at him with sympathy, but the meaning conveyed in their eyes was the same.

That's fear.

They come here to earn a meager income and support their families.

As for the rest, who cares?

As the alarm sounded, the command post far away in Kashima also received the news.

"President, the other party is Li Guanghao. Will they discover our intentions?"

A middle-aged man with a particularly big head spoke nervously. In front of him was Ichiro Morita, the commander-in-chief of the operation and the president of the Space Rocket Research Institute.

Having just finished a phone call with Edo, Ichiro Morita was fully aware of the current significance of this action for the country.

If they succeed, they will be able to boost the confidence of the Chinese people and eliminate the negative impact of the previous series of blows.

This will promote domestic economic development, help the country escape from its current difficulties, and even enable it to become the world's third largest economy.

Besides, today is the Chinese New Year.

If this succeeds, it will be a relief.

By then, I will be successful and famous, and all my efforts will be returned many times over.

Thinking of this, Ichiro Morita gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Let them stop it! Stop it at all costs!"

"Hi!"

"Technical team, where are the people from the technical team? Find them here!"

Ichiro Morita shouted loudly, and three people immediately ran over.

The leader was none other than their institute's chief researcher and section chief, Horita Kyotaro.

"Horita-kun, how long will it take for the space rocket to be ready? Can it be launched immediately?"

Horita Jyotaro, however, had a look of distress on his face.

"President Morita, there are some issues with the space rocket and this that need to be adjusted."

"Adjust? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Morita flew into a rage, pointed at Horita Jyotaro's nose and cursed, "Don't you know the significance of this action?"

"Don't you know that this is the earnest expectation of millions of people?"

"Don't you know the price we paid for this operation?"

Ichiro Morita's tone was cold and cold sweat broke out on Horita Kyotaro's forehead.

Others may not know, but he knows it clearly.

In order to gain the acquiescence of the United States for this mission, not only were tens of billions of benefits given to the top leaders of the United States, but everyone in the garrison base also received expensive red envelopes.

In addition, there was a banquet in the military camp today. Not only were all the supplies provided, but there were more girls serving drinks than men.

All this effort and sacrifice is for this mission.

He knows everything, he knows everything.

Responsibility is greater than a mountain. What we carry on our shoulders is not only our heads, but also the hope of national rejuvenation. But…

But this space rocket really isn’t very good!
It was originally a secret research, from design to R&D to the production of components, everything was done secretly.

Afraid of being discovered.

why?
Why bother asking?

To put it simply, this rocket is a large-sized missile.

After being defeated, they are not allowed to have offensive power.

Oh, you said this is a rocket, it's only used to launch satellites.

But do people believe it?

If this thing has a different warhead it can become a missile.

If someone really takes you seriously, then expect to be punished.

So if they want to do research, they can only do it secretly, and they have to succeed in one go.

That way they can tell everyone in the world that the rocket they are researching is used to launch satellites.

According to the current research progress, if we want to ensure success, it will take at least one year to verify the feasibility, identify and solve problems.

But now, things in the laboratory have not been figured out yet, and the materials used have not been tested, but they have been pulled out and sent here, and then he was told that it was going to be launched.

This, this is obviously looking for trouble.

What’s even more outrageous is that, although it was launched, can that thing be considered a satellite?
The first satellite of the people on the other side of the strait weighed more than three or four hundred kilograms, but theirs weighed less than twenty kilograms. In comparison, it was just an egg.

Moreover, the second satellite launched by them is already using solar cells. This technology is not mature even in the United States. What does this indicate?
This shows that their technology has reached the forefront in this field.

But what about yourself?

An egg?

What's the point of sending this thing?

It can’t even fit a larger battery, but at least they managed to sang a song. What about this?

Can you turn around?
In other words, they took such a huge risk, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and expended their years of hard work, just for such a shudder?

Just to tell the people that we also have satellites?
Not worth it.

Horita Jyotaro couldn't figure it out and couldn't understand it.

In his plan, nothing can be done without certainty.

Because the damage would be multiplied.

But he knew that if he failed here today, he would probably not be able to leave!

Fortunately, this small satellite has its own advantages. It does not require too much fuel, which solves a big problem.

"Hey! President Morita, I understand!"

Knowing the huge responsibility, Horita Kyotaro immediately bowed and said in a pleading tone, "But we need three hours to prepare, please understand!"

"well!"

Ichiro Morita took a deep breath and nodded vigorously. He didn't understand professional matters, so he couldn't interfere too much.

But we can't just follow the other party's thoughts. As a fellow river person, we understand the ins and outs of this best.

"It takes less than three hours to dig the field."

"The other party has already noticed this. Two hours. I can only buy you two hours."

"In two hours, our space rocket must be launched."

"You have to understand that the first satellite of our Dahe nation must be launched, at all costs."

Looking at Ichiro Morita's cold face, Horita Kyotaro had no choice but to nod vigorously.

"Hey! I understand!"

However, he also understood the hidden meaning of Ichiro Morita, that as long as he could fly up, it would be fine.

In an instant, the pressure was reduced by half!
"I'll check it out right now!"

After responding, Horita Jyotaro and his men immediately ran to the launch pad. He wanted to do a final check to ensure that the rocket could fly up.

On board Li Guang.

Zhang Kangzhan stood in the command room, looking at the sea ahead. His muscles bulged on his dark skin, making him look very strong.

Beside him, the first mate, Lao Liu, was looking at the nautical chart with a frown on his face.

"Old Li, can you guys fight?"

Suddenly, Zhang Kangzhan asked the staff officer beside him.

The staff officer standing next to him was Li Bing, the former commander of the missile battalion.

However, after some preparation, Li Bing's missile battalion became the standing force on the Li Guang, and Li Bing became the chief of staff of the Li Guang.

Of course, the most important thing is the people on the ship and their temper.

Not only is he not arrogant, he can also play around with others normally. The most important thing is that he doesn't back down at critical moments.

That's really daring.

"We can hit it. This distance is well within the range."

Li Bing glanced at the sea chart and said with certainty.

"The enemy is about ten nautical miles away. With this kind of small boat, our upstream has been improved and the hit rate can reach 70%."

"But they should have discovered us. Are you sure you want to fight them first?"

As Li Bing was speaking, Zhang Kangzhan turned around and shrugged, "As long as there is an order from above, we will fight."

"I knew it was."

Zhang Kangzhan rolled his eyes, "I am resisting the war, not disobeying orders. I still want to stay on this ship."

"By the way, how are you guys preparing? Don't let us be left with nothing to deal with when the plane arrives."

Li Bing chuckled, "Don't worry, this time no matter if it's a plane or a warship, as long as the radar locks on, we will definitely fire it out within a minute."

"Wow, that's amazing."

"That is required."

"Alright, alright, stop bragging."

Old Liu stood up and interrupted the two men's boasting, then pointed at the sea chart and said, "Look!"

The two men came up quickly and looked at the nautical chart in Lao Liu's hand.

"Look, this is our position, this is the opponent's position, and look here, this is Kashima's position."

"Our three points are almost on the same line."

“So we want to move forward, and they are a hurdle.”

Zhang Kangzhan looked at the sea chart, frowned and asked, "How far is this place from Shika Island?"

"Thirty miles."

"Thirty? Lao Li, can you get through upstream?"

"Lao Zhang, what are you doing? Don't do anything stupid."
