MTL - Monster Factory-Chapter 1385 : Incompetent rage

At the same time, the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

After countless efforts, they finally figured out the cause of the major accident in the Gulf of Guinea.

Strictly speaking, it is not an accident, but a disaster.

Since the two integrated supply ships did not wait for the cruisers and submarines, the Fifth Fleet Headquarters immediately posted the cruiser and submarine route maps and ordered the integrated supply ships to search back along the route.

Realizing that the problem was serious, the two supply ships quickly turned around.

The fleet headquarters also coordinated with the Pentagon to urgently mobilize reconnaissance satellites to conduct large-scale scanning along the route.

There are also intelligence personnel lurking in the port of Anut, as well as reconnaissance satellites that were constantly watching the movements of the port, and long-range reconnaissance planes that took off urgently.

All locked his vision on those three routes.

The first is that a supply ship was on the way back to the cruiser and found traces from the ship's fire.

The thick black smoke in the sky has dissipated, but some of the wreckage left by the fire and explosion of the cruiser is still floating on the sea.

After sinking, the unburned fuel was also smeared on the sea.

According to the traces of fuel oozing, the supply ship successfully found the exact location of the sunken ship. After the deep-sea aerial camera was dropped, the cruiser that sank to the bottom of the sea also appeared in sight.

The intelligence personnel lurking in the port of Anut also sent key news.

In the evening, the port suddenly implemented martial law for clearance without receiving any advance notice.

Combined with the reconnaissance satellite images that have been staring at the port, at least 500 ship crew members were escorted to the direction of the giant monster industrial mining area.

The next day.

The reconnaissance satellite locked a large camp near a drilling mine. Due to weather and resolution, the optical lens could not see the details of the personnel held there, but after checking the number of personnel, it was confirmed that the crew on the cruiser and submarine were basically all there. .

This is the only good news among countless bad news.

But how did the cruiser sink?

How did the two submarines that can perfectly blend into the background noise of the ocean and have highly confidential routes sink?

The deep-sea aerial camera scanned the cruiser back and forth more than ten times, but did not find a trace of a weapon attack outside.

The two submarines have not found a trace for the time being because they do not need fuel to provide power.

After the professional submarine terrain sonar scanning equipment arrives, they can scan one by one along the route.

There are countless questions waiting to be resolved.

But the culprit behind all this must be the Giant Beast Industry.

There is also the accomplice of General Mopp.

The Fifth Fleet angrily contacted the Behemoth Industrial Branch in Anu District and General Mopu, the supreme officer of the Anu District.

The liaison in charge of spreading the word roared, asking Giant Beast Industry and General Mopp to take full responsibility for the disaster, immediately hand over the culprit that caused the disaster, and immediately release all the crew members in the camp.

Otherwise, wait for the combined aircraft carrier fleet to arrive, turning the Anut area into a scorched earth.

Inside the bunker, General Mopu crowed Erlang's legs and answered the call from the Fifth Fleet.

"Prime culprit?"

General Mopp was full of doubts and indignation, "If this shipwreck is really the culprit, doesn't it mean that you could have crushed the fleets of other powers, become no longer invincible, and lose your deterrent power in the past?"

"Is there a need for a fleet that can't even find the enemy and will be sunk somehow?"

"You just disbanded on the spot and changed the warship to run and transport."

"I captured your crew?" General Mopp's indignation turned into grievance again. "It was obviously that my coast patrol team received their distress signal, and I rescued a lot of them based on my humanitarian spirit. ."

"Of course I won't keep those crew members."

"But... your attitude, how dare I let people go?"

With that said, General Mopp really couldn't pretend to be anymore. He forced a smile and said: "Or look at it like this, you ask your foreign affairs and commercial departments to sign an open and friendly trade partnership agreement with the Anu Special Zone. "

"In addition to the peace declaration, the agreement also has some economic support and trade preferential clauses."

"As long as the agreement is signed, I will send these crew members in distress home immediately."

"Of course~"

"You can also directly send a combined aircraft carrier fleet to turn Anu District into scorched earth."

"Our Anu District is not worth a lot of money anyway. My Mopu was scared by you before and didn't have any ambitions. The big deal is that I will take my family to China to do some small business."

"It's just the attitude of the giant monster industry, I don't know."

"In case you are on the way, another shipwreck will happen..."

...

The Fifth Fleet and the Pentagon were in a situation of incompetence and rage.

Until there is no accurate information on the culprit that caused this disaster, and the corresponding countermeasures, no one dares to let other warships venture into the Gulf of Guinea.

One cruiser, two attack submarines.

The Fifth Fleet is already tied together from top to bottom, and neither can bear the heavy responsibility.

The three main ships disappeared at once. I am afraid that it will not be too long before there will be related rumors out of the outside world.

By then, without talking about international pressure, the pressure of public opinion within and outside the U.S. military will make them unable to eat.

The three ships have a total displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and they are all the most advanced ship models.

Even if this mission ended with three ships on duty, they would be mobilized under the pretext of returning to the home port for repair and maintenance.

Even though this mission is strictly confidential to the outside world, no one knows the true movements of these three ships except for the few commanders who made mission plans and those crew members who have been trapped in Anu District.

It won't be concealed for long.

Public opinion from the outside world will blow.

Because more than 500 crew members on the ship are missing.

Calculated according to the slowest voyage time for the three ships to return to their home port for repair and maintenance, only half a month can be concealed.

Half a month later, the three ships could not reach the home port, and the family members of more than 500 crew members could not contact them. Anxious family members and public opinion and doubts would come quickly.

Unless within half a month, get the crew back.

In this way, the family members can contact the crew, and public opinion at most questioned where the three ships went.

At that time, the ship will be maintained and upgraded, because the replacement of new weapons and equipment must be strictly confidential to respond to public doubts. It can delay the outbreak of public opinion for another three to five months.

With a buffer period of three to five months, it is possible to extend the upgrade time by another year or two due to major accidents during maintenance or due to immature technology.

It would be understandable if there were any major accidents in a year or two...

As long as they do well in keeping the news secret, the evidence produced by news and public opinion can also be distorted into conspiracy theories.

After clarifying the priority of the problem, the Fifth Fleet could only furiously fight with the Giant Beast Industry and General Mopp before getting the crew back.

But what is the price to pay for returning the crew?
