Chapter 289 What Does Mr. Lin Want to Do?
Henghe Port Base Command.
"What's going on? Two warships broke down in a short period of time."
Someone at the command center muttered.
Both failures were recorded.
But they were not vigilant at this time. Although such things were rare, they had not never happened before.
"FUCK, why is the power outage?"
"What's going on?"
Soon the same situation appeared on the third destroyer. The destroyers of the same class fell into darkness, and many people cursed.
Soon backup power is activated.
"Quick inspection to identify fault."
"Report to the command center that our warship encountered an unknown malfunction. We will solve it as soon as possible."
Dennis Dao, the captain of the third destroyer.
Battleships develop a lot of problems every year, big and small. When problems arise, you just need to seize the time to solve them. Usually it's a minor problem that can be resolved within an hour.
"Okay Captain."
said the adjutant next to him.
Reporting information to the port command is very simple, and there is no problem in reporting information after the backup power supply is enabled.
"Um?"
Major General Upton, who was on duty at the Port Command, changed his expression.
Two warships had an accident in a short period of time. This has happened before, but three warships had an accident in a short period of time. This has never happened before.
"Call Captain Dennis."
Upton said solemnly.
"Okay General."
"General, Captain Dennis is on the line."
Upton picked up the intercom: "Captain Dennis, before you, two of our destroyers also reported malfunctions. Did you notice any abnormalities?"
Captain Dennis was surprised. Is there such a thing?
"General Upton, we didn't find anything unusual. Perhaps it was due to some electronic device malfunction caused by lightning."
Captain Dennis reports.
"Captain Dennis, please be vigilant under special circumstances."
"Okay General."
After ending the communication, Major General Upton thought about it and did not sound the alarm for the time being. After all, they are a powerful US navy. Who dares to target them?
"General Locke, maybe you should come here."
"We have something going on here."
Major General Upton contacted his boss, Lieutenant General Locke.
"Come right over."
Lieutenant General Locke is in the base, and it won't take long for him to get there.
"Woo woo, woo woo——"
Soon, the shrill alarm sounded throughout the Henghe Military Port.
"What's going on?"
"Quick, hurry up and get to the headquarters!"
Lieutenant General Locke ordered the soldier who drove him.
"boom!"
The high-horsepower military vehicle roared and accelerated, and soon Lieutenant General Locke arrived downstairs at the headquarters. He hurried upstairs.
"Upton, why did you sound the alarm?"
Lieutenant General Locke asked eagerly.
Upton said in a deep voice: "General Locke, when I ordered people to sound the alarm, there was a malfunction on our fourth destroyer."
"Just now, we received a report from the fifth destroyer. They also had an unknown malfunction."
Lieutenant General Locke's expression changed.
Five destroyers all experienced unknown malfunctions in a short period of time?
They now have a total of eight destroyers in the port, which means that more than half of their destroyers are out of order.
"Order all available warships to leave port."
"We could be under attack."
"Everyone is in combat position and all weapons are ready for attack."
Lieutenant General Locke quickly issued the order.
"Quick, quick!"
"Boys, act quickly, we may be under attack, please note that this is not a drill!"
The captain of a certain destroyer shouted to the entire ship.
The destroyer has activated battleship power and they are preparing to leave port, which is a necessary action in the event of an attack.
Suddenly, the whole ship went dark.
Various screens in the command room also went dark.
The power system that had just started stopped abruptly.
"Quick, report to the command center!"
"We encountered an unknown failure. The warship lost power, the command and control system could not be activated, the radar system, and the weapon units were unable to be used. There are no casualties yet."
The captain of the destroyer quickly reported the news.
Lieutenant General Locke and Major General Upton both looked ugly.
The sixth destroyer has had an accident!
"General, it's bad, one of our cruisers also reported a malfunction, and their various systems have serious problems."
In less than two minutes, Lieutenant General Locke and the others got bad news again. The good news was that two destroyers had left the port.
Two big black fish also left the harbor.
"General Locke, will our carrier-"
Major General Upton said worriedly.
It is not that easy for an aircraft carrier to leave the port. A destroyer can rely on its own power to leave the port, but an aircraft carrier needs a tugboat to pull it away.
Lieutenant General Locke walked around.
"General, our second cruiser also reported a malfunction."
Someone shouted.
Lieutenant General Locke: "..."
They have eight destroyers and two cruisers here. Only two destroyers left, leaving eight of them lying down.
The combat effectiveness of the entire battleship plummeted.
Even if their aircraft carrier escapes, how can they escort it with just two destroyers? Air defense and anti-ship firepower is seriously insufficient.
"Wow!"
Lin Tian left from the sea.
He did not target the aircraft carrier. He had already targeted six destroyers and two cruisers. Targeting the aircraft carrier would be a bit too much and would easily anger the United States.
The United States has hundreds of military bases around the world. It has good strength, but it cannot target so many military bases at the same time.
There is a big gap between China's military strength and that of the United States. Now is not a good time to completely piss off the United States.
Huaguo East China Sea Base.
"Order to enter level three combat readiness."
The entire base soon fell into a state of tension.
Nothing happened on the Chinese side, but according to intelligence, the U.S. Henghe Base has entered level one combat readiness.
Other nearby U.S. bases have also entered Level 2 combat readiness.
Time passed by minute by minute.
At Henghe Base, the aircraft carrier left the port safely. General Locke and the others were relieved a little. If the aircraft carrier was attacked, it might trigger a world war!
"Reduce combat readiness level to Level 2."
General Locke gave the order.
They maintain first-level combat readiness, which can easily cause global tension and easily stimulate potential enemies to launch attacks.
Although the eight warships malfunctioned, the people on them were evacuated without any casualties among their personnel.
America, Black Palace.
"Commander, the result of our urgent analysis is that this matter is most likely caused by Grandmaster Lin."
Someone reported it.
The commander-in-chief of the United States frowned: "Why did he do this?"
"Commander, according to the Ministry of Commerce, we are preparing to impose sanctions on Huayin tomorrow. Lin Tian owns 22% of Huayin's shares, worth nearly 600 billion yuan."
"In addition, someone of ours is targeting Luo Bingning's mother. Our people tried to hypnotize her, which may have something to do with it."
The commander-in-chief of the United States said angrily: "It is a normal economic measure for us to target Huayin. What does Lin want to do?"
"Does he want to start a war?"
