Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 75 Want to leave? Play big! (Thank you everyone)
"The exercise is terminated!"

"Notify Kangaroo 01 to surface!"

"All anti-submarine helicopters dispatched!"

"Frigates with anti-submarine capabilities, search the current sea area at full power!"

Giving up his ambition to become Aquaman, Cliff fell into a rage.

Just like a male lion taking a nap on the African grassland, a lioness might be attacked by a wild beast while patrolling her territory.

As the king of the entire fleet's lion group, Cliff felt that his dignity was offended.

“Let all parties involved get moving!”

"Mobilize resources from outer space to lock down this sea area for me!"

"No matter where this rat comes from, I must catch him today! And crush him to death!"

When the main ship received the news that friendly forces were attacked under the sea, the atmosphere in the command room on the island was no longer as relaxed as before.

Cliff couldn't stand the fact that someone had the audacity to jump out of the Ugly Eagle's biennial joint maritime exercise at this time.

"General, Kangaroo 01 is surfacing and is expected to reach the surface in 4 minutes."

"Water Kangaroo 02 requests instructions."

There are only two submarines in the equipment cluster for this exercise, both from the Kangaroo side.

As the most solid ally of the Ugly Eagle, Kangaroo's conventional-powered submarines are often ordered to carry out tasks assigned by the Ugly Eagle military.

Considering the possibility of subsequent attacks, Cliffe did not intend to let the Water Kangaroo 02 surface. The fleet must maintain the ability to fight back underwater.

"Notify Kangaroo 02 to move 300 meters below the mother ship and stand by."

"Yes!"

"General, this is all the data collected on unknown enemy targets."

Cliff took a thin A4 paper from his assistant.

All the information obtained by the active sonar search system in the short few minutes when Water Kangaroo 01 was attacked is listed above.

"Small submersible with a displacement of less than 100 tons"

"Surpasses the speed of most torpedo sprints"

"The maximum diving depth is no less than 2000 meters"

"Based on the damage to Water Kangaroo 01, the submersible is made of special materials and did not disintegrate after the collision."

"After the target enters the latent mode, the current detection equipment cannot detect it."

After reading the text description, Cliff fixed his eyes on the sonar detection imaging analysis diagram at the bottom of the paper.

The images detected by the sonar equipment were quite abstract. Even after being simulated and processed by a computer program, Cliff still could not see the external features of the target submarine.

Seeing Admiral Cliff's confusion, a technician nearby stepped forward and explained in a low voice:

"General, according to the analysis of the detection information imaging map, the target is very likely a small submarine with a shape similar to that of a manta ray."

Cliff turned to look at the other party and asked doubtfully:

"Devil fish?"

"This is a marine creature, scientifically known as manta ray. In fact, we also have similar submersible equipment in the process of development."

Looking at the picture on the tablet handed to him by the other party, Cliff finally understood what the manta ray was.

DARPA does have a Manta program for an unmanned underwater vehicle, which it tested for an extended period in a desert bay earlier this year.

Cliff has always looked down on that thing, and it is true that the Manta unmanned underwater vehicle project cannot meet the design performance requirements at all.

Looking down at the image on the A4 paper again, Cliff was finally able to roughly discern the shape of the target.

"Contact the intelligence department. If they can't tell me anything about the incoming target, they are a bunch of idiots!"

"Who developed a submersible that can dive 2000 meters without our knowledge?!"

"Notify other parties involved and get their damn intelligence systems into action!"

"I want the information I want within an hour!"

"Tell the intelligence department secretly that any participant in the exercise except the Kangaroos may be a target!" Following Admiral Cliff's order, the Ugly Eagle's intelligence department immediately took action.

An unidentified and highly threatening piece of cutting-edge military equipment broke into the Circumocean Exercise and severely damaged the exercise submarine.

This is definitely the most humiliating loss that Ugly Eagle has ever suffered in the 21st century. As the only super naval force on the Blue Planet, how can the Ugly Eagle military feel at ease if they don't find out the identity of the target?

Two of the Chinese frigates participated in the circum-ocean exercise this time. In the command room of the Maya, the first Maya-class frigate, several senior generals in white military uniforms looked serious.

Having just received new instructions from the Ugly Eagle mothership, the generals faithfully carried out Admiral Cliff's orders without hesitation.

They were no less shocked than Cliff by the attack on the Kangaroo submarine.

Ever since Ugly Eagle grew mushrooms at home in the last century, he has always followed his lead in life.

Military affairs decisions are mainly made by the Ugly Eagle. The goal of the Ministry of Defense in this exercise is to rely on the Ugly Eagle's powerful military force to deter their big neighbor.

Faced with an increasingly powerful big neighbor, our small country with few people must rely on external forces to check and balance it.

"General, who dares to attack a submarine during an exercise?"

When someone raised this question, several people in the command room fell into deep thought.

"Could it be a white bear?"

"Now that White Bear is caught up in the war in the west, will they demonstrate their deep-sea deterrence internationally in this way?"

"Probably not. Just like you said, White Bear is already overwhelmed with the war in the west. They simply don't have the energy to open up new battlefields!"

This answer basically matches everyone's judgment on the current situation of polar bears.

Although the conflict between the white bear and the ugly eagle on the blue planet is the most acute, it is not yet time for them to tear each other apart and fight to the death.

After a long time, someone whispered:

"If we eliminate the white bear, who else on the blue planet will dare to touch the ugly eagle's beard?"

"Todai?"

Standing among several people, Xiao Rizhong, who looked to be over 40 years old, fixed his eyes.

Dongda?

Someone nearby immediately started to refute.

"If Dongda has such powerful submarine technology, why would their navy upgrade to submarine equipment like the Type 039, which is only adequate?"

"You can't think like that. Being in the Eastern cultural circle, don't you understand the principle of showing weakness on the surface?"

As the lieutenant general listened to the discussion of the others behind him, he couldn't help but think about the possibility of an attack by the University of East.

If the University of Tokyo really has such cutting-edge submarine development technology, how can the navy of today fight against it?
In order to reduce the number of bowel movements, Wei Jiang only eats very little every 24 hours.

Awakened by the alarm clock, Wei Jiang stood up and did some simple stretching exercises in the cockpit.

The surround screen showed that the time was 6:47 p.m. local time.

The manta ray's circum-ocean exercise fleet was about to leave the area. Wei Jiang drank some water and quickly sat back in the driver's seat.

"Don't go, how can you just leave like this?"

After restraining the body and starting the manta ray power, the submersible slowly rises.

Manta rays must remain stealthy and undetected until they are within attack range.

This time, Wei Jiang discovered that the exercise fleet had contracted its formation, obviously preparing for another attack from him.

After the experience of the attack at noon, Wei Jiang’s confidence is now swelled.

He no longer cared about attacking small submarines. He believed that directly attacking the Ugly Eagle ships would have a greater deterrent effect.

His eyes were fixed on the ship with the largest displacement among the targets, and Wei Jiang's expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Since you guys want to escape, let's have a big one!"

Wei Jiang knew that if the exercise fleet returned to the naval port, the water depth of only a dozen meters in the port area would not be enough for the manta rays to perform, and they would be discovered as soon as they entered.

At a speed of 5 knots, with the searchlight turned off, the manta ray slowly approached the fleet above like a real ocean manta ray.
