Chapter 741 Deep Sea Investigation (asking for monthly ticket)
"This is……"
Several soldiers hesitated.
Follow the periscope feed on the control room screen.
I saw a hint of paleness appearing in the southern part of the Arctic Ocean.
It was apparently a huge fleet sailing through the waves, with huge propellers stirring the sea water and raising layers of huge white waves, as if the sea itself was making way for these steel behemoths.
Take a closer look.
In the middle of the fleet, there was a huge ship faintly visible, shining with a cold metallic luster in the morning light.
Various advanced fighter jets are parked in an orderly manner on the deck, including F-35, Apache attack helicopters, Merlin anti-submarine helicopters, etc., like a mobile sea fortress.
This is actually an aircraft carrier!!
"Captain, according to radar calculations, this should be an entire single-carrier battle group, including 1 aircraft carrier, 4 anti-aircraft missile cruisers and destroyers, and 4 anti-submarine missile frigates. As for the attack-class submarine, we haven't found it yet!"
"This configuration is the British Royal North Sea Fleet!"
Akelimovich's face froze.
Apparently they did not expect the British Navy to arrive so quickly.
Because from the time the Norwegian Navy discovered the "Losharik" to now, it has only been three or four hours, and even the sun has just risen.
Can the British Navy cross the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea and come here?
Gu Ji couldn't help but notice the change in Evan's eyes.
Then it all clicked.
I'm afraid that from the moment the "Flying Leap" disappeared, Ocean Gate's mother icebreaker had already passed the news to the US Navy intelligence agency.
That’s why Britain and the United States reacted so quickly.
"Damn it! The British Navy is coming here at this time, I'm afraid they are also here to seize the Hook!"
"But what can we do? Our few submarines alone are no match for an entire aircraft carrier battle group!"
The battlefield situation often changes rapidly.
The Russian army, which had just been swearing at each other with the Norwegian fleet and fighting for salvage rights, is now nervous and looks as if facing a powerful enemy.
Even though the size of the British Navy has been greatly reduced and it has long lost the glory of the British Empire, it is still one of the few blue-water navies in the world.
not to mention.
This is an entire aircraft carrier battle group.
Even if it is just a single aircraft carrier core of the lowest level, it is not something that their several strategic nuclear submarines can easily contend with.
"Damn it! We can't just give 667A to them like this!"
"That's right! Especially that thing that can interfere with the missile's trajectory. If it really exists, we must have it in our own hands!"
Several commanding officers shouted with gritted teeth.
It seems that this group of people has already determined that the thing that just interfered with the Zircon hypersonic missile is in the hands of the extremists in the Hook submarine.
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.
I saw Akimovich asking his men about the arrival time of the Russian fleet.
Although both sides seemed to be full of hostility, since the system had already declared that the ultimate goal had been achieved, this war of siege would definitely not be fought.
After all, the misunderstanding has been revealed.
The parties are now on the international waters of the Arctic Ocean, and there is no reason to completely tear each other apart.
However, a major war may be avoided, but a secret fight is inevitable.
Soon, the British North Sea Fleet arrived near the sea area where the incident occurred.
The distance was too far just now, and perhaps we could not feel the pressure of the aircraft carrier battle group.
Only when you face it face to face can you experience its shock personally.
The ship is 280 meters long and 73 meters wide.
Looking from the perspective of the Losharik, it was like a kindergarten child looking up at an adult.
Not to mention the eight destroyers and frigates, each several hundred meters long, guarding it from front to back and from left to right.
"Damn it! The British fleet claimed that the Hook had invaded Norwegian waters and that we were holding civilians hostage, and demanded that they be responsible for the salvage!"
"How long will it take for the Northern Fleet to arrive?"
"Captain, it will take at least another hour, but according to intelligence, the US Second North Atlantic Fleet is already on the way. By then, I'm afraid..."
In the command room, everyone was arguing endlessly.
Although Russian support is about to arrive.
But the intervention of the US fleet tilted the already unbalanced balance towards NATO once again.
Especially in terms of reasons, the latter is obviously more sufficient.
original.
During the hours of the submarine crisis.
The news of the loss of contact with the "Flying Leap" submarine has already become a hot topic in news searches around the world.
After all, the tourists who can participate in this deep-sea adventure are all celebrities, wealthy people, and social elites from various countries today. They are famous in themselves, and this major accident of "mass casualties" naturally attracted countless people to discuss it.
So the British side has been making a fuss about this matter.
Seeing that all parties have not been able to reach a consensus.
Gu Ji grabbed Evan and walked into the command room. "Captain, since all parties are unwilling to give in, why don't we all salvage the Hook together and share all the resources and intelligence about the terrorist organization? What do you think?"
"Salvage together?"
"No, that 667A is our nuclear submarine, why should we let them get involved!"
"But right now, Britain, the United States, and Norway are like a group of hungry wolves. When they see fat meat, they will take a bite. It is probably unrealistic to completely ignore them!"
"I also think Mr. Gould's proposal is worth discussing!"
Although there were a few objections at the beginning.
But after careful consideration, everyone gradually felt that this plan was relatively the most reliable.
After all, the information that the "Hook" could interfere with military submarines had already spread, and big countries like the United States and Britain would never give up easily.
Even if both sides continue to waste military resources here, the final result will be just this.
then.
After an internal discussion among the three Russian submarines, Akimovich reported Gu Ji's proposal to the base. After obtaining its consent, the negotiations officially began.
The entire negotiation was conducted through the ship's international public military channel and lasted nearly half an hour.
This was the biggest point of contention.
The question is the ownership of the HMS Hook.
The Russian army has always refused to make concessions in this regard.
This is understandable.
Even though the 667A is a submarine that was almost obsolete during the Cold War, it is still positioned as a ballistic missile strategic nuclear submarine. The several strategic submarines currently in service in Russia have all been improved on the basis of inheriting the genes of their predecessors.
and so.
Once 667A falls into the hands of Britain and the United States, the other side's military weapons experts will inevitably find flaws in it.
This is something Russia cannot tolerate.
NATO seemed to have realized this as well, and finally agreed to return the submarine to its original owner with no choice.
then.
With the joint agreement of many parties, it was decided that Russia should first unconditionally release the crew and civilians of the "Flying Leap" tourist submarine;
Then Russia, Britain, the United States, and Norway each sent two people to form a rescue submarine to go to the sinking site of the "Hook" to investigate;
Intelligence and third-party items discovered during the investigation will be shared among the four countries;
After the final incident, the salvage rights of the submarine belonged to the Russian side.
"Damn it, two spots for each side, totally unfair!"
"Yes, Britain, the United States, and Norway are basically in the same boat. If something really happens underwater, it will be difficult for us to resist!"
"Fortunately, we have the driving rights of the rescue submarine, so this barely counts as three people!"
"Captain, how should we arrange the specific personnel?"
After the investigation plan was finalized, everyone turned their eyes to Aklimovich.
Just when he was about to call the roll.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
It was Gu Ji.
"Captain, please let me participate in this investigation!"
"What? What does this have to do with you?"
"Damn it! There are so few spots to begin with, and you want to grab one? No! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Unit 7472? Haha, I seriously doubt that you are trying so hard to get involved. Do you have any ulterior motives?"
……
Gu Ji's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.
Instantly received countless rebuttals and questions.
Among them, the most weird one is the first mate with a mustache.
If the system had not already indicated that the side quest had been completed and all enemies in the submarine had been eliminated, he would have suspected that this guy might be another traitor in the mysterious sect.
"Give me a reason."
"When we were fighting back against the Hook, I heard the enemy captain's voice. It was related to an important target that our 7472nd Unit has been investigating. If you allow me to participate in this investigation, I can share this intelligence with you!"
"Oh?"
As soon as Gu Ji said this.
It did change the attitude of many Russian troops.
As the saying goes, "The world is bustling with people, all seeking profit."
Once there is benefit to be gained, things will naturally become different.
Akelimovich's eyes kept changing.
It seemed that he was thinking about whether the sacrifice of giving up a place was worth the value he could get from Gu Ji.
He pondered for a few seconds.
He suddenly nodded.
"I agree."
"Captain! I think we should report this matter first..."
"I'll try to convince them."
After saying this, Akimovich picked up the intercom and began to report to the base.
But Gu Ji was not surprised at all.
To know.
He helped Aklimovich a lot during this crisis.
The most important of these is intelligence interception!
You know, whether it was a mysterious sect secretly sending a strategic nuclear submarine to ambush in the Norwegian waters, or an insider planted in the "Flying Leap" and "Losharik".
With this level of intelligence, let alone the Deep Sea Survey Bureau.
Even the world-famous KGB, the US CIA, Israel's Mossad, and the British MI6 can't do it!
and so.
The "hard-sought intelligence target" mentioned by Gu Ji was undoubtedly an extremely tempting big cake for him.
Plus in this crisis event.
The key role played by Gu Ji also allowed the Russian side to witness the capabilities of the 7472 Unit with their own eyes.
Having the opportunity to cooperate with such a mysterious organization is definitely a very beneficial thing.
soon.
The Russian personnel finalized the deal.
In addition to the rescue boat driver, the two candidates are Gu Ji and the thin soldier, Gorukov.
Everything was as he expected.
Because this submarine investigation is actually a military intelligence investigation, and only special forces are qualified and capable of completing such special tasks.
What's more, there will likely be friction and combat during the investigation.
Sending Sea Dog Special Forces soldiers is the best option.
And Gorukov is undoubtedly the best among them.
"This operation cannot be commanded from a sandbox. You may encounter danger. Since there are so many people on the scene, I may not be able to protect you. So you can choose any weapon here!"
Inside the combat weapons compartment.
While loading the magazine into the tactical vest on his chest, Gorukov casually explained the key points of the mission.
Because this round starts with a "natural good" start.
Gu Ji never got to show his skills in front of the Russian soldiers, so Gorukov didn't understand his combat capabilities.
But this guy is no fool.
Naturally, from his movements and style, it can be seen that he can use a gun.
That's why they seemed generous in giving up their weapons and equipment.
Gu Ji grabbed an ADS rifle, and pulled the bolt repeatedly to inspect it skillfully, then changed the subject and said, "If that's the case, I want my things back, is that okay?"
Gorukov's brows suddenly frowned.
"Are you talking about the disc made of special material?"
"Correct."
“I want to know exactly what it does.”
"It... is a soft-kill mine. It can poison and cause hallucinations through fragments."
"can."
Maybe it was because he saw that Gu Ji was not lying.
Gorukov thought for a moment and agreed to his request.
Next.
Gu Ji was fully armed and dressed in Russian-made naval special forces equipment.
Not to mention, wearing this camouflage Guoka tactical combat uniform, coupled with the ADS amphibious assault rifle, really has some of the flavor of the Xia country's special forces, except for a red epaulette.
After everything is ready.
Gorukov then led him and all the tourists on the "Flying Leap" submarine to the mini rescue submarine in the bottom cabin.
They needed to first send the civilians to the Norwegian shuttle speedboat, then let the Norwegian, British and American people in, and then take the "Losharik" submarine to sink to the bottom of the sea for investigation.
This is probably the reason why all countries agreed to let Russia be responsible for driving the rescue boat.
Every country can easily find a lot of submarines that can dive hundreds of meters deep.
But if you want to successfully reach the thousand-meter deep sea, apart from the deep-sea submersible, the only option is the Russian ship "Losharik".
And deploying a deep-sea submersible takes time.
Therefore, NATO had to make the second best choice and agreed to let the Russian military be responsible for the submarine driving operation of this investigation, and by the way, collect intelligence data on Russian submarines.
After the tender separated from the "Losharik", it headed straight for the Norwegian fleet.
along the way.
Everyone hugged each other and cried with joy that they had survived this crisis.
Before leaving, Evan stretched out his arm and gently patted Gu Ji's shoulder.
Although he didn't say a word.
But it can be seen from the hint in his eyes that he is trying to reassure him that he will definitely do what he promised.
Gu Ji still felt reassured with this guy, with whom he had worked three times.
then.
Under his silent gaze, the tourists on the Flying Leap left on a Norwegian rescue kayak.
Instead.
They were the NATO joint special forces that were coming towards them in speedboats.
