Chapter 140 The Seventh Fleet's Doomsday (First Update)

The Seventh Fleet is the largest military force in the Southwest Pacific. It was established in 1943. Its predecessor was a genuine miscellaneous force. It was the largest forward-front deployment unit of the American Navy at that time. Its totaled 60,000 people, 38,000 navy and 22,000 Marines. It was mainly equipped with nearly 60 ships and 350 fighter jets. Among them, there were 19 permanent ships, 1 carrier-based aircraft wing, 1 land combat expeditionary team, 105 aircraft, including 84 combat aircraft and 12,200 onboard personnel.

As the commander of the Seventh Fleet, commanding the strongest armed forces of the United States in the South Pacific is undoubtedly something that Lieutenant General Clemings is very proud of, but today he is not happy at all.

Since the last time the Holy Dragon organization attacked Japan, the American intelligence agencies have begun to collect all intelligence about the Holy Dragon organization. Although the CIA has not obtained information about the members of the organization so far, through various channels, the CIA finally targeted the Emerald Island in Ceylon.

According to the information provided by the LTTE, the weapons of the LTTE are all from Emerald Island. For this reason, the CIA once used satellites to investigate Emerald Island, but the photos taken from the satellites showed that there was nothing on Emerald Island, and even a ship near the island could not be seen. However, according to the information reported by the CIA intelligence personnel in Ceylon, it was shown that large-scale construction was underway on Emerald Island. Although it was not boarded the Emerald Island, the houses and factories on it were vaguely visible. Therefore, the CIA suspected that Emerald Island was likely to be the base of this mysterious Holy Dragon Organization. The reason why satellite photos showed that there was nothing on Emerald Island was obviously that the other party had a device that could interfere with satellites.

Whether the laser weapons deployed by the Holy Dragon organization in space or equipment used to interfere with satellite signals, these are definitely the technology that the American government is most urgently trying to obtain. As a military power, the American government will never allow a weapon on this planet that can attack American territory at any time. Therefore, after careful negotiations, the top leaders of the American society decided to send troops to Ceylon to try to use force to pressure the Holy Dragon organization and force it to hand over these two technologies.

In the past, if he received a mission, Clemings immediately had ambition of no other than me. However, when he learned the real purpose of this mission, the ambition disappeared instantly without a trace. Thinking of the attack that happened in Japan not long ago, he not only did not have the confidence of the past, but also had a very ominous feeling. He always felt that this mission would probably allow his Seventh Fleet to stay there from now, so in order for this premonition not to happen and he could successfully complete this mission, this trip to the Seventh Fleet of Ceylon could almost be said to be full of all his talents.

At noon the next day, the Seventh Fleet finally arrived at the Ceylon waters. In Clemings' eyes, Ceylon is just a country with weak military power. If it were in the past, if it was to deal with such a country, as long as it was bombarded on the land, the opponent would definitely let the weapon surrender obediently. However, this time he did not rush to the coast of Ceylon as before, but when it approached more than 300 nautical miles of Ceylon, he ordered the fleet to stop advancing, and then sent a reconnaissance plane to Emerald Island for reconnaissance.

Bruce is a major pilot of the Naval Air Force of the Seventh Fleet of the United States. As a major pilot, he did not know the real mission to Ceylon this time. He just combined the contents seen on the news. He instinctively believed that this time he came to Ceylon to help Ceylon government forces eliminate the LTTE and restore the Ceylon regime. So when he received the task of conducting combat reconnaissance on Emerald Island, he felt very puzzled. He had asked in his heart several times: "Why didn't he investigate the capital of Ceylon, but ran to the poor Emerald Island with a small population for reconnaissance? Could it be that a gem mine with extremely abundant output would not have been allowed to come here?"

More than 300 nautical miles were just a blink of an eye for the Bumblebee fighter. When Bruce saw Emerald Island for the first time, he was obviously stunned because before he set out, he had seen satellite reconnaissance photos of Emerald Island in the war room. The photos showed that there was nothing on Emerald Island. However, the Emerald Island in front of him was built in an orderly manner. From the air, it looked like a large garden with beautiful scenery.

Seeing this scene, Bruce immediately realized that the mission was very unusual. At this time, he immediately turned on the camera installed under the plane and controlled the plane to turn to prepare for a tactical photo of Emerald Island.

Just as Bruce was about to lower the plane and take tactical photos of Emerald Island, a warning sound came from the communication system on the plane: "You have entered the private collar, and you will immediately turn and leave here within ten seconds.

Hearing the warning, Bruce felt that this warning was the funniest joke he heard today. In the South Pacific for so long, even the collar of a great power like the Tang Empire, he would occasionally sneak in, not to mention a country with weak military power like Ceylon, so he didn't take this warning in his heart and was about to enter the sky above the Emerald Island. However, just when the plane just entered the sky above the Emerald Island, a warning sound suddenly came from the plane that was locked by a missile.

Hearing the alarm, Bruce became completely panicked. While speeding up the accelerator, he controlled the plane to climb quickly, while watching around, looking for the direction of the missile flying. At the same time, he asked for help from the microphone: "Bird's Nest! Bird's Nest! I was attacked by missiles, and I was attacked by missiles!"

Just as Bruce was asking for help, he finally saw a missile dragging its long orange-red tail flame and heading towards his plane at a speed of Mach 16.

From seeing the missile to approaching the missile, the whole process was less than two seconds. Bruce, who felt that the god of death was approaching him, pulled out the plane's ejection at this moment. At the moment of explosion, he flew out of the cockpit and fell quickly towards the sea.

From receiving Bruce's call for help to the complete extinguishing of the aircraft signal light, the whole process was less than three seconds. At this time, Clemings's face turned very ugly. From being commander of the Seventh Fleet to today, the Seventh Fleet had performed dozens of missions. Although some aircraft were shot down, it was the first time that it was shot down by an organization's prevention and control missile. Therefore, at this time, he clearly felt the provocation of the other party and ordered the subordinates around him: "Immediately send the Neptune helicopter to the sea area where the accident was involved to search and rescue the pilot, order the attack group one and the second group to prepare for the attack, turn on the search radar, find the opponent's missile navigation radar signal, the ships disperse, and tactical formation. After the first strike on Emerald Island, the attack team immediately took off for the second round of attack."

"Commander Clemings! After receiving the other party's warning signal, the other party asked us to withdraw from the Emerald Island warning waters immediately, otherwise we will be attacked." Just as Clemings had just issued an attack order, the communications officer stood up from the equipment and reported to Clemings what he had just received.

If he had received a warning from the beginning, Clemings might have asked the fleet to withdraw from the sea because of his previous concerns. However, the shooting down of the plane undoubtedly aroused the blood of his soldiers. Therefore, he ordered the adjutant to angrily: "Order the "Bunker Mountain" and "Mobile Bay" to launch missile attacks on Emerald Island and destroy all the buildings on the island for me."

"Commander Clemings! Sonar found that something was approaching our fleet quickly under the sea." Just as Clemings issued an attack order, the sonar suddenly stood up and reported to Clemings loudly about the discovery of Sonar.

When Clemings heard the sonar's report, his instinctive idea was to think that the other person would fire to the fleet. At this time, his face changed, and then he decisively ordered: "Left full rudder! Immediately evade tactically, launch torpedo bait, and fight back immediately!"

Just after Clemings' order was issued, Clemings clearly heard a "Boom!" sound from the bottom of the ship, but the explosion and impact were not expected. However, the lights in the cabin flickered and darkened at this time. A subordinate nervously reported to Clemings: "Commander! Our power is rapidly losing, the warship is gradually decelerating, the rudder loses control, and all the weapon systems are failing!"

"His Excellency Commander! The USS Washington aircraft carrier, Bunker Hill and Mobile Bay missile cruiser, and all other warships have lost control, and the submarine is rapidly sinking into the deep sea." Just after the captain reported the loss of control of the flagship to Clemings, the communications officer reported to Clemings the news that he least wanted to hear.

When Clemings heard the news, he immediately realized that this situation was probably caused by an unknown object that had just approached their fleet from the bottom of the sea. As a fleet commander, Clemings knew very well what it meant for a fleet to lose power, so he quickly ordered his subordinates: "Find out the reason immediately, ask for help from the Pacific Base, and the plane immediately took off to launch the first round of attack on Emerald Island, put down all landing crafts, and ordered the Marines to board Emerald Island at the fastest speed."
