Chapter 486 Return to the old place
The four merchant ships sunk by the Mid-Aircraft Carrier Battle Group came from Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic and France. They transported daily electronic products to South Africa. After the merchant ship was sunk, some crew members and the sunken "Lamic" surviving sailors were rescued by the Mid-American Navy.
However, the American naval officers and soldiers did not give them preferential treatment to their citizens of the Allied Power, but instead rudely seized them on a destroyer. The American soldiers wanted to learn from them about the submarine and their relationship and why the submarines appeared in their merchant fleet.
All the reconnaissance and anti-submarine helicopters on the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group were taken off the air, and they went crazy to find the perpetrators of the aircraft carrier fleet. The sea around the fleet was cast with a large number of sonar buoys. The towed sonar of another destroyer and cruiser survived and the towed sonar was also turned on at full power.
However, after more than two hours of intensive search, there was no clue of the submarine, which expanded the search range to fifty kilometers, and there was still no trace of the elusive submarine, as if it had fired a torpedo and evaporated from the earth, disappearing without a trace.
After dawn, all the officers and soldiers of the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group who had been on guard all night were exhausted. However, Commander Major General Kevin Quinn did not dare to be careless this time. He ordered the anti-submarine helicopters to continue to carry out anti-submarine operations around the fleet without intervals, and all the fleet's air, sea and anti-submarine radars were turned on to search for suspicious targets at full power.
The sudden submarine attack made the American Navy suffer. During the following voyage, they began to become cautious. Before that, they were as comfortable as strolling in their back garden, and they were thrown to the minion country. Now they understand that this world is not something the United States can hang out at will.
When the news of the sinking of the "Lamic" spread throughout the world, NATO countries took the attention of the "Arrow Wolf" mercenaries they did not take seriously. Some media have begun to worry about their country's provocation of such a difficult opponent.
Their worries are not without reason. If the other party is a country, they will pay attention to the rules of fighting each other and have Geneva conditions to abide by, but they are mercenaries and an organization that takes murder as their profession. When they kill people, they will not talk about justice and mercy.
Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic and France filed serious protests against the US government over the sinking of the country's merchant ships. They demanded compensation from the US, and the economic losses caused to the four countries by the sinking of the merchant ships and ensured that such incidents would not happen again.
The tragic experiences of the four countries have been sympathized by most European countries. Media from various countries have condemned the barbaric practice of using force without discrimination between enemies and us, saying that this move would hurt the hearts of NATO allies.
A small demonstration broke out in France, protesting the US attack on merchant ships of the allied countries. It also demanded that the French government withdraw its decision to send a special mixed fleet to Africa. The French National Assembly also held an interim meeting, which passed a proposal to put pressure on the president to change its proposal to send a special mixed fleet to the Gulf of Aden.
The attack on the allied merchant ships made the US government extremely nervous and had a great headache. However, the US government did not apologize to the allied for face. It only gave an explanation for the incident.
A spokesperson for the US Ministry of Defense argued that the submarines that attacked the US fleet lurked in the merchant fleet of the four countries and attacked the US fleet at close range. The fleet commander could not determine whether the torpedo launch platform was a merchant ship for a short period of time. Because of the darkness, Major General Kevin Quinn ordered a strike on suspicious ships for the safety of the entire aircraft carrier battle group. There was no error.
France and other four countries fought back. As the most developed military technology, the US aircraft carrier fleet failed to discover the mysterious submarine hidden under the sea, and the merchant ships of the four countries were even more unlikely to discover the existence of this submarine. When did the US aircraft carrier fleet distinguish the enemy with the naked eye? This explanation made the allies feel chill, which seemed to indicate that if they joined the war with the US fleet, they would bear unpredictable risks.
All signs show that the US fleet should know that the torpedoes were launched by submarines, but even though they knew that the merchant ships of the four countries were innocent and were bunkers used by the mysterious submarine. The submarines that launched the torpedoes were still fire-fired on the merchant ships of the allies on the sea. This is the act of the US fleet venting anger with the merchant ships of the four countries, and it has obvious intentional components. The US soldiers are humans, so it is difficult to make the crew of the Allies not humans?
A spokesman for the US State Department still argued that this was an accident and that the same thing would not happen again in the future. However, he refused to punish Major General Kevin Quinn and also rejected the compensation claims made by the four countries.
The toughness of the United States has turned small-scale demonstrations in France into anti-Mercedes protests, and the scale has become increasingly larger. French President Mitterrand, under pressure from all parties, had to announce that the French special mixed fleet would temporarily suspend its sailing to the Gulf of Aden.
The US government expressed regret and emphasized that the US's determination to combat the "Arrow Wolf" mercenaries will not change, and will send an additional aircraft carrier battle group to the Gulf of Aden. At the same time, the US Congress further communicates with NATO countries, hoping to resolve each other's differences as soon as possible and make up for each other's rifts.
Chen Yuxing, who was far away from the Pacific Ocean, just used a little trick, which caused huge friction and cracks to appear in NATO allies. Chen Yuxing never expected this battle plan. This joke that was like teasing the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group actually achieved such an unexpected effect.
To say that the maritime strength of the "Arrow Wolf" mercenaries was able to easily send the US aircraft carrier battle group to the bottom of the sea with just a few high-tech submarines arranged in the Gulf of Aden. Then Chen Yuxing did not agree to Wang Yi doing this. The US was hit too severely and retracted back to North America at once would make him lose a lot of the fun of the game.
The "Arrow Wolf" mercenaries declared war on the United States on the one hand, and assisted the biochemical man Ma Adi's South Sudan government forces to cross the border between South Sudan and Sudan and occupied a large area of land in southern Sudan. Under the temptation of Ma Adi's large amount of food, the residents of southern Sudan expressed their support for Ma Adi's just action to liberation the Sudanese people.
The war between South Sudan and the Sudanese countries broke out before the sinking of the US "Lamic" missile destroyer. Wang Yi and Ma Adi's action to unify Africa has taken a solid first step under the catalysis of the US.
...
In January 2013, the air in the northeast was a little hotter than in previous years. The temperature during the day sometimes exceeded zero degrees. The warm sun shone on the snow pile, and a trickle of snow flowed towards the sun. There was a snow just the day before yesterday, but the snow on the highway had been cleaned very clean, the road was pitch black, and there was no white residual snow.
The off-road vehicle is driving at a high speed of 120 kilometers. Chen Yuxing is still in a happy mood when he sees all this. In recent years, Liaodong Province has invested more and more heavily in expressways. It has greatly facilitated exchanges between cities and counties. The phenomenon of agricultural products being accumulated after high yields has become less and less.
This trip to Xinfu was Chen Yuxing's first inspection of a provincial prefecture-level city after he took office as secretary and governor of Shengwei of Liaodong Province. The reason why he chose this city was closely related to his study and living here for four years. After Chen Yuxing graduated from university, he never returned to this city. There are his teachers, his college classmates, and a woman who once gave him infinite imagination.
Chen Yuxing's car is from the highway at the intersection of Xinfu East Road, which is more than ten kilometers away from Xinfu City. This place is called Xinfu County, and is a suburb of Xinfu City. There is a state-owned coal mine near this provincial highway. Chen Yuxing once interned here for a month. At that time, the coal mine was almost exhausted. There were few tunnels that could produce coal.
Five off-road vehicles turned from the wide provincial road to a county-level highway, and about five kilometers ahead was the mine that Chen Yuxing was going to inspect.
There are five administrative villages distributed in this mining area. In the past, villagers in the five villages were proud to be workers in this coal mine. During Chen Yuxing's internship, this situation basically disappeared. The depletion of coal resources. The mine almost cut off all the coal mining workers. The strong laborers in these five villages went to the city to work. What was left behind was devastated above the mining area. Chen Yuxing's purpose was to know what the situation is now, and are the workers and farmers living well?
There were two people who followed Secretary Chen to Xinfu City for investigation this time, Xu Yang, director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, and Hou Longtao, director of the Provincial National Security Department. One was logistics and the other was security. The two each brought a driver and secretary, and the remaining three cars were used by Chen Yuxing and his bodyguards.
Hou Longtao was not surprised that Chen Yuxing went out with eight bodyguards. He was the one who had the most accurate guess about Chen Yuxing's secrets based on his understanding of Chen Yuxing.
Hou Longtao was promoted to two levels in a row, and was directly promoted from the Director of the National Security Bureau of Fengjing City to the Director of the National Security Bureau of Liaodong Province. Others would guess that he was appreciated by Geng Mingri and made great efforts for Geng Mingri. Only in this way can Minister Geng resist the opposition and support him to the top.
In fact, this kind of speculation is not without reason, and Hou Longtao did make great efforts for Geng Mingri. However, Hou Longtao knew very well that the reason why Geng Mingri supported him was to give someone face. This person was his true benefactor of his career. Chen Yuxing, who was just a chief clerk a year ago.
If Chen Yuxing had not appeared in Fengjing City, it would be impossible for him to take this position. Hou Longtao had never dared to think that he could become the director of the provincial department. He had no background and was lucky to be the director of the Fengjing City National Security Bureau. This was his motivation and he worked step by step. After becoming the director of Fengjing City, he had fewer opportunities to make contributions. He even made plans to retreat to the second line after working in this position for a few years.
Unexpectedly, the turn of the situation made him meet his nobles in his career this year, and the incident developed in a direction beyond everyone's expectations. When the appointment documents of him and Wang Xinghua were issued to the Municipal National Security Bureau, both of them were foolish on the spot. This trick of being aware of people was only Chen Yuxing, the freak of being a nepotist. Even if others wanted to do it, they would have to sneak in, for fear of being known or criticized.
Five off-road vehicles drove into a courtyard, and a three-story cement building stood there alone. The windows of some houses were broken, and the yard was overgrown and ragged. There was a row of simple houses with corner iron as skeletons in the courtyard. Now the steel used as skeletons have been demolished, leaving behind ruins. There is no object with metal in the yard.
This yard is the office area of the mine where nearly a thousand employees used to have been. This three-story cement building is the office building of the mine. The first and second floors are offices, and the third floors are single dormitories for cadres, which are divided by a large iron gate to separate the office area and dormitories. Chen Yuxing once spent a month in the single dormitories on the third floor. It was a wonderful time for him at that time.
