Chapter 560 Fleet Destroyed
Thomson had already informed the British Minister of the Navy opposite the phone when the Arrow Wolf's Mercenary submarine appeared on the big screen.
"Mr. Minister, the submarine of the Arrow Wolf mercenary appeared in the waters about a hundred nautical miles ahead of the original route. This is a new submarine. Without reference objects, the specific tonnage cannot be estimated. The six vertical silos in front of it have been opened. It seems that they want to launch missiles. Please inform the fleet to be vigilant.
They launched missiles...six missiles, flying towards our fleet, at a very fast speed, probably exceeding Mach three."
At the press conference venue, few reporters were paying attention to Thomson. Their attention was focused on the large screen. The pictures on the large screen were divided into two, with six missiles flying in the air on one side, and a panoramic view of the British fleet's flagship Urgent missile destroyer.
The British fleet was busy on the deck, and they had obviously received a notice from the Admiralty that the Arrow Wolf's mercenary missile was flying towards them. The eight-unit air defense missile system on the Destroyer and the air defense missile system of the other two frigates had all been opened.
The first batch of twelve air defense missiles whizzed out of the silo. After changing their posture in the air, they flew towards the direction of the missile attack.
The two images on the large screen became the flight images of two groups of missiles. One group was six ship-to-ship missiles launched by Arrow Wolf mercenary submarines, and the other group was twelve air defense missiles launched by the British fleet. The missiles in the two groups flew against each other, and in a blink of an eye, the two groups of images overlapped together.
Twelve air defense missiles were seen in groups of two to face an invading missile. Just when the missiles of the two sides were less than one kilometer apart, the warheads of the ship-to-ship missiles launched by the Arrow Wolf mercenaries launched two sets of green light, attacking the intercepted air defense missiles.
In an instant, twelve anti-aircraft missiles exploded in the air, like twelve gorgeous fireworks.
There was a scream from the press conference hall.
"mygod, what's going on?"
"George, have you heard of missiles carrying laser weapons? How is that possible?"
"What type of missile is this? It's too powerful?"
"The Arrow Wolf Mercenaries have this kind of missile technology and they can already be invincible in the world. Since they can install small laser launchers on missiles, their ships and on land will definitely be equipped with high-power laser launchers."
"No wonder none of the US missiles landed on South Sudan's land. If Arrow Wolf hired mercenaries to deploy such weapons in large quantities, South Sudan's airspace would be solid. It would be impossible for a missile and an aircraft to enter their airspace."
The ship-to-ship missiles on the screen are still flying, and the reporters' discussions in the venue are still endless.
Thomson felt as if he was stupid at this time. He held the phone in his hand and stared at the big screen blankly. He turned a deaf ear to the call from the phone.
An American journalist standing next to Thomson saw that he was pitiful and pushed Thomson with his hand.
"Mr. Thomson, your minister is calling you on the phone."
Thomson then recovered and nodded to the American reporter to express his gratitude. Then he said weakly to the phone:
"Mr. Minister, you may already know that the twelve air defense missiles launched by our fleet were destroyed by the laser launcher that was built on the incoming missile at about one kilometer away from the incoming missile.... It is true, there are hundreds of reporters here, and they all saw this scene... It is true, Mr. Minister, their missiles carry laser interceptors... Yes, the reporters here have also made the same conclusion. The missiles of the Arrow Wolf mercenaries can no longer be intercepted,... Our fleet is in danger..."
Mr. Thomson and their Navy Secretary were still on the phone, and the Arrow Wolf's mercenary's ship-to-ship missiles destroyed the interception of the second wave of air defense missiles. At this time, it was only about five nautical miles away from the sea where the British fleet was located. The British fleet's short-range defense system had been activated, and a dense array system of thousands of bullets began to pour barrage into the air in a minute.
When the invading ship-to-ship missile is about to enter the interception range of the dense array system, it suddenly climbs to a high altitude and enters a height of 10,000 meters in a blink of an eye. The dense array system completely loses its interception function.
When six missiles flew directly above the fleet, six missiles smashed down at three British ships at nearly vertical angles.
The reporters at the press conference hall exclaimed again. The reporters from all countries who were able to come to this press conference hall were half military communications. They had a rough understanding of the advanced short-range and medium-range missile technologies of various countries. However, this was the first time they heard of the Arrow Wolf's mercenary missiles in this way to make the final strike in this way, and it was the first time they saw them. This was not unlucky.
When the warhead of an intercontinental ballistic missile returns to the atmosphere, it will strike the target in such a nearly vertical way. This method is also the most difficult to intercept, because the warhead falls too fast, so it is difficult for advanced radars from various countries to capture its traces. It is almost impossible to make the interceptor missile perform an interception action.
Moreover, because the warhead carries too much kinetic energy, even if the warhead has no explosive part, relying solely on the kinetic energy of the missile, most ships can be smashed from the deck to the bottom of the ship.
Thomson's voice was filled with despair.
"Mr. Minister, the missiles of the Arrow Wolf's mercenary are falling vertically, with an incredible speed. Our fleet no longer has the ability to intercept, and the missile is about to hit the target... It hits, the USS Buqu missile destroyer was hit by two missiles, one hits the position of the ammunition depot, and the other hits the position of the power compartment...Mr. Minister, the USS Buqu exploded and has been blown into two sections in half,... It is sinking... The other two frigates were also blown into two sections... The screen shows that there are still hundreds of Chinese soldiers living on the sea. Please send a rescue team as soon as possible."
The press conference venue was silent at this time, and all the reporters were thinking about their own little calculations. They were evaluating how big the gap between their country's military strength and the Arrow Wolf mercenaries. They had already made a decision in their hearts that they must appeal to the media of their country and call on the government not to be enemies with Arrow Wolf mercenaries.
Thomson was already in tears. He looked at the sailors struggling in the sea and roared at the wolf mercenary press spokesman who was still drinking tea leisurely:
"You are executioners and murderers, and you will definitely be punished by God."
All the reporters saw Thomson with pity.
The spokesperson turned around, looked at the almost crazy Thomson with a smile, and then said in a low voice:
"I remember that during the 19th century British colonial period, you killed many innocent people in the colonies. Now your army in the Middle East has also massacred countless Muslims. Are they executioners and murderers?"
The spokesperson ignored Thomson and turned to all reporters.
"Dear journalists, are you interested in watching another battle? It is a battle between our army and the American fleet cruising in the Arabian Sea."
