In the center of the bridge of the Malamute, Sweeney was extremely worried.

For more than an hour, the No. 53 ship on the opposite side remained silent and ignored the frequent calls of the Discomfort. But everyone knew that the old frigate, which was only one nautical mile away, had long been in a state of inaction.

The active radar signal was almost covered in the tactical display screen in front of Sweeney. Every jump of the signal was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, unlimitedly challenging the most sensitive nerve lines in his body, and his spirit was going to collapse.

On the edge. The strong sense of suffocation made him and everyone behind him seem to smell the smell of death.

Brad also realized that his previous petty calculations were too childish. If people wanted to settle accounts, they would not differentiate between themselves and would have to feed the big fish.

The No. 53 ship has a nickname in the USS Malawi aircraft carrier strike group - Sulawei Mad Dog, which accurately describes and succinctly explains that the ship's "mad dog"-like combat style was formed in the Sulawei Sea. The captain of the No. 53 ship,

He was fearfully called a twitcher by the officers and soldiers of the enemy and US aircraft carrier strike group, that is, every move he made was always unexpected. Like a twitcher, no one could predict when his next move would happen.

, what kind of action to make.

Sweeney made up his mind. He walked to the microphone and took it with a solemn expression. Everyone's eyes were on Sweeney. They were familiar with this aircraft carrier strike group commander, known for his calmness and caution, wisdom and boldness.

Famous and known as a Nimitz-like naval commander.

At this time, everyone saw that Sweeney had an expression like a dead father, and even decided to personally shout at the other party's captain, which had never happened before.

It is extremely rare for a captain to speak personally, let alone the commander of an aircraft carrier strike group. Sweeney is a rear admiral and Brad is a colonel. There is a full rank difference in military rank.

Sweeney took a deep breath and spoke, "Ship 53, this is the USS Maladies, please speak to the captain of your ship, over."

It took a full minute and fifty seconds, but Ship No. 53 did not respond.

Li Hai heard it, but at this time he was discussing countermeasures with Chen Qiming and Chang Haizhou, so he ignored it. By the time Li Hai fell into rapid thinking, Sweeney had already made a second call.

Not responding for a long time can easily cause the other party to misjudge. Even Chen Qiming is a little anxious and needs to at least have a conversation.

Sweeney made the third call, "Mr. Captain, I am Rear Admiral Sweeney, commander of the USS Malaise aircraft carrier strike group, requesting to have a conversation with you."

The attitude is very low.

Li Hai's eyes finally returned to reality from a state of deep thought. He walked steadily towards the communication station and took the microphone from Wu Tong's hand.

On the other side, Sweeney had almost lost his patience and was about to call out for the fourth time when Li Hai's voice came, "Discomfort, I am the captain of the 53rd ship. Clear the runway. I want to board your ship and communicate with your highest authority."

Commander’s interview!”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Sweeney and others on the Discomfort, even Chen Qiming, Chang Haizhou and others were frightened by Li Hai's audacity.

Ships are a mobile land, even ordinary ships, let alone warships.

In the case of non-military exchange activities, having to accept the other party's armed forces to board the ship will definitely be regarded as a provocation to national sovereignty!

Specifically, carrier-based aircraft land on each other's aircraft carrier decks. Historically, this has only occurred between armies belonging to the same military alliance. Except for NATO countries, U.S. Navy aircraft carriers have not been boarded by aircraft from other countries.

Now, Li Hai has made it clear that he wants to "land the aircraft carrier" the USS Discomfort. For Sweeney and others, it is definitely an outrageous request!

Sweeney refused without even thinking, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Mr. Captain, we can communicate on the designated radio!"

He still suppressed his anger, otherwise he wouldn't have said the following words.

Li Hai gave everyone a reassuring look and said in a firm and arrogant tone, "Your ship rammed and sank my fishing boat. We have sufficient evidence. The current dialogue channels are open, but after today, I can't

Make sure you can still talk to me!"

Sweeney didn't understand.

Brad immediately contacted the domestic Chinese language expert through the advanced command and communication system and asked him to quickly analyze the full meaning of Li Hai's words. Obviously, from the translator, they had sensed that there was something in Li Hai's words that required expert analysis.

.

Another thing that people have to admit is that the command and communication system of the US military is still the most advanced and powerful in the world. When their warships reach any sea area on the earth, they can obtain the support of all domestic resources in a very short time

, intelligence, technology, tactical guidance, etc.

Soon, domestic Chinese language experts gave a positive reply: private!

Obviously, the Chinese language expert is a person who is experienced and has a very good understanding of the Chinese language usage environment.

Sweeney and Brad subconsciously looked at each other, blinking, understanding each other's meaning - this was an opportunity to reduce their responsibilities.

Soon, the two people's expressions turned to sadness - the price of doing this was to allow a Chinese Navy carrier-based helicopter to board the ship!

This is going to make history. Unfortunately, for the U.S. Navy, this may be a disgraceful history.

After realizing that he, as the captain of the Discomfort, needs to bear the main responsibility, Blade most hopes to solve the matter now in some way, rather than letting the matter rise to the level of diplomacy between the two countries. Once it reaches that point

At this level, it must be him who was pushed out to sacrifice the flag.

He racked his brains and thought about how a man in his fifties had actually unleashed his potential. His eyes were bright and he tugged on Sweeney's sleeve, gesturing for him to lend him a step to speak.

The two walked to a quiet place, and Brad whispered, "I wonder if we can let the captain board the ship in a way that we cannot refuse but will not challenge our sovereignty and dignity?"

"I have thought about it." Sweeney was obviously also considering this possibility. He said, "We sent a helicopter to pick them up. Instead of landing on their deck, let the captain board the plane through the rope ladder. This is the only way."

Brad's eyes widened, "Boarding on the ship like a weakling, do you think he might agree?"

Sweeney was silent.

Brad shook his head and said, "Don't even think about this method. Proposing it will only annoy the captain."

"Is there anything you can do?" Sweeney asked simply.

Brad's mind was spinning rapidly and his voice became even lower, "We can do this..."

He expressed his thoughts in this way.
