Matticus thought that the young president was arrogant.
The generals present thought that the young president of Monster Industries had become a lamb to be slaughtered. When their fleet arrived at the Gulf of Guinea, it would be the time for the overseas base of Monster Industries to perish.
No one on this planet could stop the wrath of the Fifth Fleet.
…
The speed at which the Pentagon's investigation team arrived was beyond everyone's imagination.
At the meeting, they had just discussed the exchange of interests with Matticus in the Gulf of Guinea when the investigation team's special plane landed at the fleet headquarters airport.
In order to make the revenge operation go smoothly, Matticus promised them that he could find a suitable native general in Nigeria to cover for the Marines. In return, these generals promised not to hold on to the responsibility of the intelligence error and to cooperate with Matticus's plan in the following operation.
In this [Operation Whale Hunt], when all the participants were summoned to talk alone, the investigation team leader found Matticus.
There was not much point in blaming Matticus.
The source of intelligence for this operation was mainly the target ship's course detected by reconnaissance satellites and the Pentagon's identification of the target ship.
Matticus was not at fault in terms of command, and the fleet did not seem to have any intention of holding him accountable.
"This time, we decided not to hold you accountable, but it does not mean that you are not responsible."
Commander Matticus lowered his head and did not speak. He understood that the conditions that had just been negotiated with the generals at the meeting had taken effect. Otherwise, it was reasonable for the investigation team to deal with him to quell the anger of the fleet.
In addition, the investigation team leader and Matticus were not strangers. They had both worked in the Pentagon before, which was one of the reasons why he was taken lightly.
"From the action plan you reported, the first step was to purge their president and successfully pin the crime on General Maups. We would like to express our appreciation." The team leader knocked on the table and paused. "But in the follow-up operation, the native general you supported was tracked to his hiding place by Monster Industries. Because of this, two action team members were lost."
"I don't want to see similar things a second time in the report."
"Yes, sir," Matticus promised.
The team leader nodded. "About the follow-up operation, tell me your thoughts."
"Sir, I need a lot of advanced equipment reinforcements." Maddox said, "I admit that I underestimated the enemy in my command, but we have never heard of the technology of Monster Industries."
"Especially the other party's stealth coating technology and electromagnetic destruction technology …"
"We must master these two technologies." The leader of the investigation team interrupted him. "Regarding the equipment reinforcement, I will coordinate with the Fifth Fleet and ask them to provide a batch of special combat equipment."
"But you have to remember that the secrecy of this operation is paramount. We can't leave any obvious traces behind."
"Yes."
The team leader continued to ask, "Have you found the black ship yet?"
"Not yet, but according to our intelligence analysis, this ship must be hidden in some corner of the sea in the Anute district. When the warships arrive, we will launch long-range drones to search the coastline. "
"Find it and bring it back, even if it's just a pile of wreckage." The team leader emphasized in an indisputable tone.
"In addition, the weapons experts at the Pentagon have repeatedly studied the video of yesterday's action at sea. From the electromagnetic weapons in the video, they inferred that the disaster that happened in the Prunus thunbergius Canyon a few years ago was also caused by Monster Industries. "
"Huh?" Maddox was shocked.
The disaster that happened in Prunus thunbergius a few years ago, because he took over the operation of Monster Industries, he also obtained the qualification to decrypt the investigation report. He read the report carefully, and like many researchers, he also believed that Hua Xia should have carried out the strike operation at all costs in order to recover the Banshee aircraft.
But now there is a new conclusion?
"It's already confirmed." The team leader's eyes became a little gloomy. "Since Monster Industries wants to challenge our majesty, then we will let them understand what a real war is."
"Don't waste your time here, go back to Africa."
"When our fleet arrives, you have to make sure that Monster Industries can't even fly a transport plane out."
Maddox stood up again and promised.
…
That night.
Two comprehensive supply ships, two Virginia-class nuclear attack submarines, and a guided missile cruiser sailed out of the port and headed toward the vast ocean.
The guided missile cruiser and the two supply ships left the port on the grounds of returning to the mainland for rotational maintenance.
This reason was impeccable. Returning to the mainland of the United States happened to pass through the Atlantic Ocean west of the African continent. Although it was closer to the Suez Canal, the warships were not commercial ships at sea. In the past, half of the Fifth Fleet's warships would take the Atlantic Ocean route because of the mission requirements.
If only in terms of numbers, this operation did not seem to be much larger than the scale of the "Whaling Operation."
There was only one Conderoga-class guided missile cruiser on the surface of the sea.
Combat effectiveness could not be judged by the number of warships.
The last fiasco was due to information asymmetry. This time, the newly appointed commander would not make the same mistake.
They wanted to play non-contact combat, using the stealth of the warships to lurk in the vast sea and never contact the target ship.
Two of the world's most advanced attack nuclear submarines were responsible for the safety of the warships on the surface. The guided missile cruiser acted as a missile platform hundreds of nautical miles away, ready to launch a fatal blow to the target at any time.
Dispatching the attack submarines proved that the Fifth Fleet really regarded this operation as a war.
From the Fifth Fleet base to the Gulf of Guinea where the Anute Special District was located, it took a long 8,000 nautical mile route. At the warship's speed of 28 knots, it would take 11 days at sea.
At this time, Maddox had already taken a plane back to Africa.
Before the fleet arrived, Maddox wanted to set up another indigenous general to solve the identity problem.
The next day.
The Lord-class warship returned to Zhongyun with 2,000 tons of urgently needed industrial materials.
The Lord-class warship's speed was similar to the Peregrine Falcon. It took seven hours to return to Zhongyun from the Anute Special District.
Back in Zhongyun, the first thing Ye Qing did was to set up a secret weapons research and development department in the Longxitan factory.
The Lord-class warship not only brought urgently needed industrial materials, but also hundreds of kilograms of purified enriched uranium from the nuclear plant. This enriched uranium would be used to make thermal fuel for fission knives.
At the same time, the enclosed berth used to maintain the Humpback Whale was rearranged by the monsters.
They wanted to build a high-speed submarine with a 10,000-ton cargo capacity.
