Chapter 183 Fall From A High Position

“GO! GO! GO!” Several crew members on the ship’s deck were constantly using hand signals to command two helicopters. When the helicopter dropped to its intended location, a special steel cable with thick wire was immediately attached to the underbelly of the helicopter.

Four large, heavyset young sailors climbed up and down for more than 20 minutes before they hung two cables on the submarine.

“Call command room. Hook up. Start large capstan to test hook strength.”

Five seconds later, the machinery on the two ships began to roll slowly.

At this time, the steel cable, which had been hanging down, was becoming tighter and tighter. At the end of the day, it was humming with a vibrating sound, and the submarine was moving forward.

“Good strength!” Captain Kerwin nodded. “The torpedo tanks are pressurized at any time to attack, and the deck cranes are hoisted into the sea.”

Bang!

A 15-meter-diameter silver-white metal shell with a diameter of three meters was seen.

Hiding under the submarine, he saw that the ship was throwing the money into the sea. Chen Fan took his mind back and replied with his computer.

Okay, you can tow the submarine away.

The active sonar had been shut down by the other side, and the submarine was slowly being dragged away by the warship. The electric eel’s tail was swinging from a distance of more than 1,000 meters, seizing the submerged capsule that was constantly sinking. The wires were then tied to the hook with wire wrapped around the electric eel’s claws.

As the saying goes, “One should have the intention to do harm to others, but should always guard against the harm others might do to him!”

Before he came, Chen Fan had two questions. One was had the French installed a signal launcher in the capsule, and the other one was had they put a time bomb in it?

The first problem was solved by transporting it directly to the deep-sea cavern where any signal would be cut off.

The second was a bit troublesome. So, the electric eel deliberately took that 200-meter-long steel whip used to fight the crocodile dragon on land and wrapped it wrapped around its claws. At the beginning of the production, Chen Fan asked the Frenchman to weld a big hook on the capsule.

Two hundred meters away, the electric eel’s safety factor would be greatly improved.

The murky waters, with only three meters of water and winds in the sky, made Chen Fan sure that the electric eel could hide there without being noticed.

When the electric eel grabbed the end of the steel wire with its hind claws, Chen Fan who was the inside of the cave, smiled slyly.

On his way to the Indian Ocean on a fake submarine, he suddenly came up with a “good idea”, a good idea to reduce his exposure to almost zero.

The submarine’s abdomen had four hooks. Only two hooks were welded at the top. In other words, four hooks were twice as strong as two hooks.

What if he snatched the submarine back?

Although it was shameless, it was a good idea, because it was possible to sever the French from getting an clues from the submarine.

Five seconds later, the electric eel swam to the bottom of the submarine again, with four gleaming claws that held tightly to the hook.

Then the electric eel filled its entire abdominal cavity, like a weightlifter breathing deep before he exerts his strength.

……….

“Report to the naval command that everything is normal at the moment, and it is expected to return to the Djibouti naval base in 10 hours,” Captain Kerwin repeated calls in the satellite communicator.

“Very good!” The admiral smiled and praised him, and then said, “Pay attention to the ships of other countries on the way and use force if necessary. When you come back, Mr. President and I will personally grant you the Sea Eagle Glory Badge.”

“Ah!” When Captain Kerwin heard this, he was so stunned his eyes almost popped out.

After he struggled out of his state, the first thing he did was shake the deputy captain like a dice in the cup. “Did you hear? Sea Eagle Badge! The Sea Eagle Badge!”

The Sea Eagle Badge, which was established in 1921, had only been awarded 213 times, and 90 percent of that was awarded in World War II. What were the chances of getting that medal in peacetime?

“Thank you… Oh, my god!”

Captain Kerwin had not finished his thanks, when he stopped and said shrilly, “The submarine has unexpectedly dived into the water, as if to escape!”

“Torpedo, quick, torpedo!” General Bailiffe also saw the situation on the big screen and shouted at once.

At the moment, behind the two ships, there was completely no sign of the submarine, only two large ships designed to drag the special wire rope tight in the water. The submarine’s sinking strength was immense! It made the two warships shake.

Bang! Bang!

The crew of the ship had just turned on the active sonar and was ready to navigate the torpedoes. Suddenly, two crackles of metal broke out under the water, and the tight steel cables relaxed. It was easy enough to guess that it must have been the links above the submarine being yanked out.

Boom! Boom!

At the same time, two MU90 torpedoes with thick compressed air in their tails, hit the water like cannonballs.

As soon as they fell into the water, the stern thrusters of the two torpedoes immediately began to work and headed them straight for the submarine which had sunk more than 300 meters deep.

Both torpedoes were battery-powered, not cavitating torpedoes, so their speed was a bit unsatisfactory and could only reach 57 knots.

What is the speed of the electric eel?

With a large submarine, it can soar to 120 knots.

“Oh, my god, the speed of this submarine has reached 120 knots?” On active sonar screens, the two technicians were shocked.

How fast is the speed of 120 knots? Their newly developed cavitating torpedoes, which could only reach 100 knots, couldn’t turn a corner and could only be shot like bullets.

“Quickly, launch anti-submarine missiles! Catch that submarine in front of you!” Captain Kerwin grabbed the condenser microphone and shouted loudly. If the submarine ran, not only would he not get the Sea Eagle’s Badge, but he would not even be able to keep his rank.

According to the speed of the submarine, the carrier of active sonar detection range was only ten miles because sound traveled to the submarine and bounced back to the ship. This process would increase two seconds for every 1,500-meter-distance between them.

Once the voyage was over ten nautical miles, and when the sound was transmitting back to the ship, the submarine had run out of shadow for a long time. At that time, they only could blindly release the torpedo and load the search system on the torpedo to find the submarine.

Boom, boom, boom! With a thunderous roar, four white anti-submarine missiles came flying from the launch capsule at a thunderous speed.

After three miles in the direction of the submarine’s flight, the homing torpedo warhead on the front was separated from the propeller and, after a period of inertia—bang! It crash-landed in the sea.

Anti-submarine missiles and rocket deep water bombs didn’t rely on rocket boosters as power to dive into the the water to attack the enemy. Instead they used the rapid flight of rocket boosters to arrive at distant targets, then the self-propelled torpedoes out in the water attacked the enemy. In addition to achieving rapid kop, they were like an ordinary torpedo and depth charge. There was no advantage of the speed in the water.

“F**k, are these Frenchmen having seizures?” Two torpedoes were behind him and four torpedoes were in the distance in an attempt to surround the electric eel.

Bang! Bang! The electric eel just held its head up to the hole on the left, and 600 meters above, two thick, strong black deep-water bombs dashed by in the water.

Fortunately, the electric eel could now run a distance of 60 meters per second, enough to keep all the underwater assault weapons in active service, leaving no shadow behind.

Chug chug chug… Two panther helicopters, rotating their propellers, flew above the submarine, sharing a set of active sonar systems with the warships. The anti-submarine weapon was mounted above. It would be better if it did not use it.

Boom! Two large explosions, the first two torpedoes fired from a military ship, exploded at a distance of more than 500 meters from the submarine, and the shockwave shook the electric eel’s body slightly. Fortunately, it was too far away to do any harm to the electric eel.

As for the two torpedoes that were near—the electric eel used nearly 40,000 volts of voltage detonated over a long distance. The shockwave generated by the explosion directly killed all the fish within a radius of two kilometers.

The space in the deep sea was 360 degrees, and the electric eel could detonate a road torpedo without fear of any French attack.

Ten minutes later…

“Ah, why, why is this happening!” Captain Kerwin was holding his head in pain. Was the submarine made by aliens? Completely out of his view of scientific understanding? Not to mention it could move at the speed of 120 knots and could descend to 600 meters deep!

“Very good, very good! Very beautiful!” On the monitor, he could not help clapping. “Captain Kerwin, please go back to the Navy headquarters and report to the Navy headquarters immediately. I’ll discuss your resignation with you.”

Half an hour later, in the French Naval Command’s operational command room…

“You, you, you, and you, ready to go back to the office and return your epaulets to the country!” The general’s face was gloomy, and he went straight to the door after pointing to several people.

Twenty minutes later, at the east end of the Champs-Élysées, the presidential office of the Élysée Palace.

“You, get ready to report to the mod, and then resign!” President Kosaki was so sullen that he slammed the door after finishing his words.

The second-floor conference room of the French ministry of defense…

“This incident… I think everybody understands the consequence caused by this matter!”

Defense Minister Ekman’s eyes were gloomy. “I will not say nonsense! I hope this time tomorrow I will see everybody’s resignation report!”

………

“Ouch… my submarine!” Chen Fan, through the electric eel’s eyes, looked at the black submarine which was already dented due to the pressure caused by the water. If it had not been for more than half of the space in it, the submarine might have been smashed.

Pulling the capsule, which was pitted by water, you couldn’t open the hatch without violence.

The next day at 3 p.m., deep in the sea near Miyun…

After a day and a half of sailing, the electric eel finally returned to its underwater cave.

The counterfeit submarine and the pod were pushed into the cavern by electric eel, ready to keep them out of sight forever.

After placing it two kilometers away from the stone tower, the electric eel immediately climbed back out the entrance, ready to move the satellite receiver to the location. After this, the Frenchies would definitely want to find him out. The satellite receiver, though not working, would be a hidden danger if it was kept.

When the eel arrived in the area, the satellite receiver stood there in perfect condition, and there was no suspicious target.

After the optic fiber cable was pulled into the water, Chen Fan thought about it and decided to put it in the middle of the straits.

It was eleven o’clock at night when they found the right place and set up the satellite receiver back.

Chen Fan did not bother with the shriveled fake submarine. He controlled the electric eel to go to the U.S. dollar capsule.

Strong water pressure had compressed the cabin door of the capsule. He didn’t have to try, from just looking at it, Chen Fan knew absolutely he could not open it. However, the electric eel was not ready to open it but decided to go over and see if there was any danger.

Although the French had little chance of getting a bomb in it, unless they were carrying a nuclear bomb, they could knock out more than a dozen square kilometers. If you did not kill all your enemies, you would leave a disaster behind. Everyone knew that. Without the confidence in killing all the opponents, the Frenchmen would not be fools and try to attack their enemy when they did not know who they were.

But with caution, Chen Fan decided to take a closer look at it with the electromagnetic wave.

He dragged it into the lake with the 200-meter-long cable, and then the electric eel laid on the shore and released the high voltage.

Pitter-patter. Crackle. The blackened scales of the electric eel were transformed into a deep blue, and limitless electricity was rapidly spreading along the steel cable to the capsule.

Extending the electromagnetic induction along the cable, Chen Fan found that a small signal transmitter was still attached to the cabin door of the capsule.

Chen Fan was not surprised by the tracker and had even estimated it. Because as soon as the SDC surfaced, the French could immediately get his position and understand what forces they were up against.
