1739. Completely Unreasonable.
The Guardian Group's oil tanker 'Pufferfish' was sunk in the waters near Cuba in the Straits of Florida. None of the 112 crew members survived! This news instantly blew up the world's media!
The Guardian Group's spokesman, Bolivar Trask, immediately held a press conference to the world. He righteously condemned this shameless act and stated that this was an act of war by the attacker and must not be tolerated.
The US Vice President also held a press conference to express sympathy and support for the Guardian Group. He also hoped that the Guardian Group would exercise restraint because 'Cuba is now like a powder keg. Once it explodes, it may hurt everyone in the world.'
The rescue of the Pufferfish's wreck site also began immediately. The US Navy specially dispatched the Midway-class aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea to the accident area to carry out rescue work. They also allowed the Guardian Group's aircraft to board the ship. The aircraft carrier's deck was filled with the Guardian Group's Bell-204 helicopters. These helicopters were painted white with the Guardian Group's T-shaped logo painted on them.
After sailing to the accident area, the entire sea area was covered with a thick layer of black crude oil. There were corpses, debris, broken lifeboats and other debris floating on the surface. The 20000 ton oil tanker had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.
These helicopters took off one after another and arrived at the area of the accident area. Then, they dropped countless white balls from the aircraft's cabin. After these balls fell onto the water surface, something magical happened. These balls immediately began to absorb a large amount of crude oil floating on the sea surface at an extremely fast speed. After these balls absorbed the crude oil, their color rapidly turned black and their volume grew larger and larger. Finally, they became large balls with a diameter of two meters!
At the same time, the US Navy's rescue team was also searching for survivors in the area and collecting these large balls. In less than half a day, these magical balls absorbed all the crude oil floating on the sea surface. Most of the victims' corpses were also salvaged. At this time, several special deep diving robots from the Guardian Group that were mounted on the side of the Coral Sea also entered the water and began to dive to the bottom of the sea to search for clues on the sunken ship.
When the Guardian Group launched the investigation, the Cuban government also issued a statement, saying that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with them. They were also willing to cooperate with the Guardian Group's investigation. In order to show their sincerity, the Cuban navy also mobilized a few transport ships to the sea area to assist in the investigation.
From this, it could be seen that the Cuban government was actually very careful about this matter. They only sent transport ships and no armed ships to prevent the situation from becoming more complicated. Unfortunately, no matter what they did, they couldn't change anything.
The truly earth-shattering event occurred three days later. The Deep Diving Robots, which had dived to a depth of over 400 meters, had sent back an investigation report. Furthermore, they had captured a large amount of video data on the wreckage of the sunken Pufferfish. They had concluded that the tanker had been sunk by a torpedo!! And from the direction and angle of the explosion, it was a submarine-launched torpedo! In other words, it was a submarine that attacked the oil tanker Pufferfish!
This time, Bolivarian Trask jumped up and down, filled with righteous indignation. He didn't hide his anger at the press conference at all. Furthermore, he threw out ruthless words, saying that no matter who did it, the Guardian Group would make them pay a heavy price!
However, whether it was the reporters present or the countries and organizations that were paying attention to this incident, none of them took this threat seriously. After all, the Guardian Group was just a company. What could a company do? At worst, they could just spend some money to buy some killers. And the target that could use torpedoes and submarines, no matter who it was, was not someone that a company could afford to provoke.
However, another day passed, and the situation worsened further! Several torpedo fragments were found by the Deep Diving Robots and placed on the table, allowing all the reporters to see it for the world to see! After research, it was determined that these torpedoes belonged to the Soviet Union's 53-51 thermodynamic torpedo!!
This time, the Guardian Group directly exploded. Bolivarian Trask directly cursed at the press conference, pointing the spearhead at the Soviet Union and Cuba. He did not care about the other party's reputation as a powerful superpower, and directly said that he would make Cuba pay for this!
Cuba expressed that this was nonsense and hoped that both parties would exercise restraint. They also hoped that the US government would mediate. It could be seen that because the new leader had just come to power, they did not want to complicate matters. However, Trask did not give any leeway at all. He was aggressive, and every word he said forced them to a dead end.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Guardian Group's reason was obviously untenable, and there was obviously no direct evidence to prove that this was done by Cuba. However, the Guardian Group used the matter of these torpedoes to make a big deal out of it. Everyone could see that the Guardian Group was using this opportunity to create trouble.
And the leader of Cuba at this time was also a ruthless person. After all, in the later era, he dominated the world and sat in the position of Cuba's head of state for more than 50 years. Previously, he admitted defeat because of international practice. Now that the Guardian Group refused to give him face, he also became arrogant. He directly said, "Whatever your stupid company wants to do, we will take it."
Trask only replied with one sentence, "Then you better take care of it."
The next day, a large group of modified C-46 transport planes from the Guardian Group appeared in Cuba's airspace! Only then did the world understand that the Guardian Group was f * cking ready to go to war!
The Cuban Air Force immediately took off to meet the attack. More than a dozen MiG-15 fighter jets and two of the most advanced MiG-21 fighter jets rushed toward the transport planes. However, these intercepting planes were inexplicably shot down before they could achieve any results. No one even knew what happened in the air!
Immediately after that, the Guardian Group's fleet was divided into five groups and directly rushed to the missile launch bases set up by the Soviet Union in Cuba. Countless robots directly landed in these bases!
This was a completely unconventional war. An unreasonable airdrop like the Guardian Group's was completely unheard of. Normally, countries would be very cautious when using the paratroopers. This was because if the paratroopers were used improperly, it would cause a huge number of casualties, and these casualties were very likely to cause a fatal blow to public opinion and morale.
However, the Guardian Group did not care about that at all. Anyway, as soon as the planes flew over, they would just drop the robots down. They did not even need parachutes. They did not care about the terrain of the landing site, the weather, or the defense force. They only cared about whether the landing site was suitable or not. It did not matter if the robots hit anything or not. After the robots came out of the metal box, they continued to hit the ground.
What was even more frightening was that even if the anti-aircraft firepower shot down the transport planes, it did not matter. Even if the transport planes exploded and disintegrated in the air, the robots would still continue to do what they were supposed to do. After the first batch of more than 10000 robots were dropped, the whole of Cuba blossomed with robots almost everywhere!
