Three hundred meters under the Pacific Ocean, the Swordfish was quietly drifting with the undercurrents. The engine and radio were all silent. The entire submarine was like a giant dead fish, without any sound.
The Swordfish belonged to the 9th Fleet. It had been ordered to hide here and carry out a top-secret operation. The order was given directly by the highest commander. For this reason, more than a hundred soldiers in the submarine were on high alert.
This operation would launch two nuclear bombs with a yield of 100,000 tons! Nuclear submarines patrolled the bottom of the sea all year round, ready to launch nuclear bombs at any time. However, after receiving the order to launch the bombs, everyone in the submarine felt a heavy pressure.
Since the end of the war in the last century, no army had launched a nuclear bomb in actual combat. Although the yield of the two bombs today was not high, it could very well start a nuclear war in the new century!
If the world was destroyed, they would all be sinners!
However, the first rule of a soldier was to follow orders. Every soldier judged right from wrong and acted on their own. Then there was no point in this team's existence.
In the sky above the Swordfish, a few satellites were monitoring the vast ocean adjacent to Japan. According to the intelligence, a large yacht would pass by here today.
Gao Zhengyang was on this yacht!
The Angel of Death, Lucifer, and the Sorcerer, Jackson, the two executives of the Skull Society responsible for carrying out the plan, were now more than ten thousand meters in the sky.
The Hawkeye AWACS was the latest model of AWACS in America. Not only did it have a full set of radar systems, but it could also conduct wireless commands through satellites.
In order to kill Gao Zhengyang, the Skull Society had mobilized the most elite soldiers in America.
Through the surveillance satellites, they could see a large yacht entering the ocean designated as the battlefield. The plan seemed to be going smoothly.
The high-precision satellites even captured the image of Gao Zhengyang drinking on the deck.
Dressed in a gray linen casual outfit and a pair of large sunglasses, Gao Zhengyang was half-reclining on a chair, bathing in the sun and sea breeze, looking very relaxed.
Toyota Haramitsu sat by the side, his back ramrod straight, but his head was slightly lowered, looking like he was waiting for orders.
Beside him, there were a few beauties in bikinis, holding tea, drinks, and fruits as they waited.
The Pacific Ocean in December was cold to the bone. However, the women didn't feel cold at all, as if they were in the middle of summer.
Jackson observed the photo carefully and said, "Japanese women have good skin, but they have short legs …"
"It's confirmed to be Gao Zhengyang. Give the order to the base, the Thunderbird aircraft formation can set off. "
Lucifer ignored Jackson and directly issued an order to the base through the encrypted wireless channel. He was now the advisor of the Department of Defense and the commander-in-chief of the Solar Eclipse Operation.
In this operation, multiple naval and air forces would be mobilized to carry out a three-dimensional intersecting attack. They had to ensure that they had no blind spots within a ten kilometer radius of the sea.
Mobilizing the strongest nation's power to deal with an S-class powerhouse was unprecedented.
This was something that could not be helped. The battle prowess Gao Zhengyang displayed was too strong. The Skull Guild did not wish to use their lives to push Gao Zhengyang.
The cost of mobilizing these troops would be within a billion dollars at most. Even if there were some battle losses, the total cost could be controlled at ten billion dollars. Including the post-war pacification and other aftermath matters, the cost would be at most 50 billion dollars.
Spending 50 billion dollars to kill Gao Zhengyang was a good deal.
If there was a need, the Skull Guild would not feel the pinch even if the price was increased by ten times.
Jackson snapped his fingers and ordered a female second lieutenant, "Give me a glass of wine, gin or Scotch whiskey, or any other alcoholic beverage!"
The female second lieutenant said helplessly, "Sir, I'm sorry, there's no wine here. According to the rules, you're not allowed to drink during the mission. "
"Just kidding …"
Jackson shook his broad shoulders and laughed, "Second lieutenant, you're not bad. What's your name …"
Jackson's flirtatious tone made the second lieutenant embarrassed and angry. The gray freckles on her face turned red.
"Jackson, stay away if you want to flirt. Don't get in the way."
Lucifer glanced at Jackson and said indifferently. He was not angry, nor was he scolding or mocking. He was simply stating his thoughts.
Jackson raised both of his hands and said with a chuckle, "I won't cause trouble. I'll listen to you."
The female second lieutenant quickly took the chance to leave.
At this time, a reply came from the wireless channel, "The Thunderbird formation has taken off. Please give your orders."
Lucifer ordered the technicians to send out the coordinates and said, "Arrive at the designated area and wait for the attack order."
"Yes, sir." The other side quickly replied.
Jackson waited for the call to end and could not help but say, "Have you thought about how you're going to clean up the mess if the mission fails?"
Gao Zhengyang was famous for his bad temper. When he was still in Shangjiang, he had already turned the world upside down. Ninja Central had only sent out a letter of challenge, but he had already killed 16 Japanese S rank experts.
If this ambush failed, who knew what Gao Zhengyang would do?
Although Jackson was one of the higher-ups in the Skull and Bones Association, he had never liked scheming. He had always been far away from the center of power.
He had always been the person in charge of Asian affairs. This time, he was also a helper. He was not too clear about the specific situation.
"If we fail, we admit defeat. What else can we do?"
Lucifer said indifferently, "The order was given by the president. If Gao Zhengyang wants revenge, he can just kill the president."
Jackson frowned, "Gao Zhengyang is not a child. There's no point in doing this."
The president was just a proxy. If Gao Zhengyang wanted revenge, he would definitely not be satisfied with just killing the president.
Lucifer said, "When it comes to that, the old fellows are willing to risk their lives. They have a few thousand bullets. As long as Gao Zhengyang is not crazy, he will have to give in. "
Jackson clicked his tongue and sighed, "You guys are really playing big!"
Lucifer said seriously, "The wizard prophesied that Gao Zhengyang will destroy the world, the western world! We must think of a way to destroy him, no matter the cost. "
"The wizard is a madman. You guys really believe him …"
Jackson shook his head. He did not have a good impression of the wizard.
This guy was like a madman, talking about prophecies all day long. It was fortunate that Lucifer and the rest believed him without a doubt.
"You don't understand …"
Lucifer muttered to himself, then said, "Before Gao Zhengyang appeared, the wizard had already made a prophecy."
"Oh my god. That idiot keeps saying all kinds of prophecies. There's always a chance that it will come true!"
Jackson did not think much of this. Prophecies were meaningless if they could be changed. If they could not be changed, prophecies were even more meaningless.
Lucifer did not care what Jackson thought. His eyes were deep as he said, "I believe it."
Jackson was speechless. Lucifer was so rational that he was almost emotionless. If a person like him was willing to believe in some prophecy, then there was no point in reasoning.
He was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I think you guys are opening the door to destruction!"
"Even if I can't get the world, it's not bad to destroy it with my own hands."
Lucifer's slow words were filled with unshakable determination and coldness.
He then said to Jackson, "You don't have to worry too much. This operation has been repeatedly deduced by the General Staff. From the data measured in the battle of Mount Fuji, Gao Zhengyang is about 20% stronger than other powerhouses of the same level in various specific values. This value is very terrifying. Moreover, Gao Zhengyang's combat awareness is even stronger. At least 20 powerhouses of the same level are needed to threaten his life! "
Jackson smiled bitterly, "What you said is not comforting at all."
"We will use the saturated fire coverage tactic and use the most brutal and direct force to destroy Gao Zhengyang. No matter how strong his combat awareness is, no matter how good his swordsmanship is, he can't unleash the most powerful destructive force in the modern era. He can only use his body to resist. "
Lucifer said confidently, "We will try our best to overestimate Gao Zhengyang and use his current data to formulate an operation plan. The success rate is above 95%. Therefore, your worries are unnecessary. "
There were many large organizations in the world of transcendents. However, ever since the end of the previous world, relying on 200 years of accumulation, Skull and Bones Party had become the number one organization in the world of transcendents. No organization dared to fight them head on.
The reason why S class powerhouses were so powerful was because they far surpassed the limits of the human body and possessed all kinds of miraculous abilities. However, in terms of pure destructive power, even if all the S class powerhouses in the world were added together, they would not be as powerful as a nuclear bomb with a yield of 100,000 tons.
In order to kill Gao Zhengyang, six or more nuclear bombs would be launched this time. The total yield would be over a million tons. There were also fuel-air explosive bombs, mountain-piercing cluster bombs, and many other weapons. They had to use the most powerful firepower to cover every inch of space.
Naturally, such a powerful nuclear attack would not only bring about radiation, it would also cause tsunamis, which would cause a huge impact on the coastal areas. After careful calculations, Japan would suffer a certain amount of property and personnel losses.
For Skull and Bones Party, even if the losses were ten times or a hundred times greater, they would still be able to accept it. They did not care much about Japan. More importantly, they had to consider the reactions of the various transcendent organizations. They could not go too overboard.
Otherwise, so what if they flattened Japan? In any case, many of Japan's transcendent experts had died. The remaining half seemed to be kneeling at Gao Zhengyang's feet. Even if they were all dead, it would still be clean.
Jackson understood Lucifer's thoughts. He actually did not care about the Japanese. To them, Japan was a domestic dog. Now that the dog had grown up and was not listening to their orders, killing them would not be a pity.
"Seems like after this, I will have to return to my country for a period of time to lie low …"
Jackson said seriously, "The Federation is very powerful now. It is hard to say what kind of reaction they will make. Especially Heavenly Venerable Xu. If this matter is not handled well, a war between East and West might break out. "
"The Federation's momentum is too fast. War is a quagmire. If they dare to jump in, we will play with them. "
The General Staff Department had long since made all sorts of deductions and contingency plans. Lucifer was not afraid of the Federation turning hostile.
From the moment they decided to implement the solar eclipse plan, the Skull Society had already made all sorts of contingency plans.
As the frontline commander, Lucifer naturally knew how to react. In the worst case scenario, Gao Zhengyang would be injured but not dead. At that time, they might have to take the risk and attack.
Lucifer said to Jackson, "From a probability point of view, this situation is not very likely. Of course, if Gao Zhengyang is really not dead, we will have to make a move. The headquarters has already made preparations. Reinforcements will arrive in an hour. "
Jackson laughed in disdain. "Those old fellows only know how to hide in the headquarters and give orders. They don't even have the courage to show themselves. "
The headquarters of the Skull Society was naturally top secret. Only the S class experts in the society knew the exact location. As for the other members, even if they were working in the headquarters, they would not know that they were staying in the headquarters.
In reality, the headquarters of every transcendent organization was highly confidential. As the foundation of the organization, the headquarters naturally had to be kept confidential.
Moreover, due to the uniqueness of transcendent organizations, if the location of the headquarters was exposed, the enemy would only need a nuclear warhead to easily destroy the headquarters. Such a loss was unbearable.
"The headquarters is currently monitoring us through the wireless channel. You better not speak carelessly."
Lucifer reminded Jackson. Although he was an S class expert, speaking carelessly would still result in serious consequences.
Jackson secretly raised his middle finger and mouthed the word 'fuck'. However, he was wise enough to stop his complaints and attacks. After all, he would be returning to the headquarters soon. He had no interest in enjoying the special care of a group of old fellows.
Lucifer pointed at a monitor and said, "That is the newest weapon, the electromagnetic cannon. Through the 30 meter long cannon barrel, the speed of the artillery shell can reach 7,000 meters per second. As long as this cannon hits its target, we do not even need to use nuclear warheads. "
On the monitor was a small mountain peak that appeared to be around 100 to 200 meters tall. The gigantic steel electromagnetic cannon was like a strange looking house erected at the top.
Although it was covered with a layer of green camouflage net, it could still be seen clearly through the monitor.
Jackson looked at it seriously for a while before asking, "Has the technology for this thing matured?"
"Not very. It requires a large amount of electricity. Additionally, it also requires a stable mount. Moreover, its size is too large. Even an aircraft carrier cannot fit it. "
Lucifer explained, "Thus, this thing can only be placed in a fixed location to deal with a special target. Just like this time, Gao Zhengyang's yacht will definitely pass through this area. It is within the range of the electromagnetic cannon. "
Although Jackson was not a top student, he knew what a 7,000 meters per second projectile meant. The terrifying speed of the projectile would bring about a huge kinetic energy that could destroy everything it hit.
For an S class expert, the speed of the artillery shell was too fast. It had already surpassed their reaction time. Before they could even dodge, they would be blasted into ashes by the artillery shell.
Jackson could not help but shake his head. "Damn it, I'm not going to take a boat in the future."
"You don't have to worry too much. The electromagnetic cannon is very troublesome to use. At present, only we have the mature technology. "
Lucifer said, "You are very lucky. Today, you will be able to witness the true power of the electromagnetic cannon."
Jackson mumbled, "With so many things prepared, it would be strange if Gao Zhengyang did not die."
"He must die."
Lucifer looked at his watch and checked the satellite's screen. Then, through the wireless channel, he said, "Attention all units. The target will arrive in three minutes."
"Roger."
"Roger."
With the radio waves traveling at light speed, Pearl Harbor's military base received all the information at the same time.
This military base housed a complete aircraft carrier fleet, one of the strongest fleets in the world. 300 meters below Pearl Harbor's military base, there was an underground base capable of defending against nuclear attacks.
This underground base with the highest level of secrecy was, in fact, the headquarters of the Skull and Bones Party. However, the majority of the staff here believed that they were working for a secret government agency and were unaware of the true nature of this organization.
At this moment, over 10 elders of the Skull and Bones Party were watching the surveillance from the deepest level of the base. Not only could they see the satellite's screen, but they could also see the internal image of the early warning aircraft.
None of the elders cared about Jackson's actions. Experts who were willing to carry out the mission would receive preferential treatment from the organization.
The countdown clock was ticking, and the bright red countdown caused all the elders' expressions to turn solemn. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, it would definitely have a huge impact. It might even change the situation of the entire world. No matter how much importance they placed on this, it would never be too much.
The president of the Skull and Bones Party, Burong, used his shriveled and pale fingers to lightly tap on the table, synchronizing with the countdown clock, adding to the tense atmosphere.
Although this decision was made jointly by all the elders, as the president, Burong had to take responsibility for this decision.
In case of failure, he had to stand up and bear the responsibility. Although he was close to 100 years old, Burong had to admit that he was still somewhat nervous.
If he wasn't nervous about anything, then this person must have lost his normal emotions. Just like Lucifer, in terms of personality, he was no longer a normal human.
The other elders were similar to Burong. Everyone could feel the heavy pressure, how could they not be nervous?
However, unlike the nervousness of ordinary people, the more nervous these experts were, the more excited they became, and the more active their thoughts became.
However, no one spoke, only Lucifer's voice reverberated through the wireless channel.
"The target is about to reach the predetermined coordinates. Thunderbird No. 1, fire the shock missile now. Prepare the electromagnetic cannon's 50 seconds countdown … … "
Lucifer's countdown voice was calm and emotionless, as though it was synthesized by a computer. At this crucial moment, this kind of voice also had a strong sense of power, giving people a strong sense of confidence.
After Thunderbird No. 1 received the order, it replied, "Roger, firing the shock missile … …"
The electronic control was turned on, and a missile ejected from the magazine. After a brief pause, it flew toward the yacht 20 kilometers away amidst the flames.
The missile's flying speed was very fast, and it reached the yacht in 40 seconds.
The whistling missile also attracted the attention of Toyoda Haramitsu on the deck. He looked up, and his expression suddenly changed. "That's a missile!"
Because of his nervousness, the old voice became extremely sharp.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the missile flying toward him and said with a smile, "Finally."
Toyoda Haramitsu was a little surprised. Gao Zhengyang seemed to know that someone was going to attack him. What was going on?
Gao Zhengyang bared his teeth at him. "Don't be afraid!"
Without waiting for Toyoda Haramitsu to react, Gao Zhengyang reached out and pressed his chest, and Toyoda Haramitsu flew out like a cannonball.
The waitresses standing around were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they screamed and ran away.
But their screams were quickly swallowed up by the shock wave of the air explosion.
The shock wave, which seemed to be real, caused everyone on the yacht to receive a violent impact, and they completely lost the ability to think.
The electromagnetic cannon, which had been prepared for a long time, also opened fire.
After checking the parameters thousands of times, the electromagnetic cannon accurately locked onto the deck where Gao Zhengyang was.
The high-speed projectile, traveling at 7,000 meters per second, created a blazing flame from the intense friction with the air, making the projectile look like a red electric light.
