Evolution begins with Resident Evil

Chapter 489: Disappearing without a trace

After the leaders of both parties confirmed their leadership of the incident, formal discussions began.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first settle the inside. This is an applicable approach here.

So Jill asked first: "I think that while searching for and confirming the location of the submarine, we must also immediately solve the problem of insiders in your military."

Normal submarines have GPS positioning and navigation, but the enemy turned it off before sailing.

This time, the leadership and operations personnel will basically be left to the military, so the insiders must be cleaned up.

Kjestein did not mention the review in his simple briefing, saying: "The army, navy and even the air force are conducting internal reviews."

"Is there any result?"

"Preliminary results show there is no mole. The Greyhound organization is betting on this."

Instead of finding people from the Greyhound organization, spies from other European countries were found, which gave Italy a bargaining chip to cooperate with other countries.

"You said that the enemy now has a man named Zhihu making suggestions. If it is true, I don't think the enemy has left any back-up plan."

Gil expressed his thoughts and said: "Spies are too destructive. A successful operation may turn into a death trap."

Kjestein thought about it and felt that what the other party said made sense, so he released more details of the internal review.

"We use a variety of lie detectors for detection. You can't escape detection if you lie."

"Have you checked the polygraph? Where is the person responsible for the examination?"

"Everything has been inspected, and the inspectors were the first ones to be inspected."

It seems that we can go on endlessly, but that is just arguing.

So Jill directly believed that the review process was fine, and asked instead: "But the lie detector still has limitations. For example, someone may be able to tell a lie as the truth, or may what he said deviate from the actual situation? "

Kjestein smiled and said: "If there are really people who can tell lies as the truth, our Intelligence Bureau will recruit these people directly. As for the latter, we will let them use the simplest 'yes' or 'no' to answer.”

Unlike Gil, he had not experienced the profoundness of Luo Guang's words, but he also knew that the same sentence might have ambiguities and others would take advantage of it.

Jill nodded. Now that the other party had thought of it, she continued to think about the problem as if there was no mole in the team.

Christian also knew that the other party was not questioning the working ability of their intelligence agency, but just confirming the specific situation.

"What was the situation with those moles before? There were too many of them, right? Especially the crew members of the stolen submarine. I heard that they have been serving on submarines for a long time and are not newcomers."

There were 40 people on board the stolen Sauro-class submarine alone. Together with others, hundreds of people had mutinied in this attack.

Kjestein replied: "It is true that this number is a bit large. The Ministry of National Defense is very angry about this situation in the Navy."

He added: "The chief of naval staff therefore issued a military order himself, saying that the submarine must be brought back before the enemy launches missiles."

The crew of a submarine being tied together is not as important as the submarine.

Gill had a bad thought about what he added and said, "Aren't you worried that he will make irrational decisions for the sake of his position?"

"The Ministry of National Defense asked us to keep an eye on him." Jestan naturally understood that Jill was worried that if he came to help, he would become cannon fodder or a scapegoat for the other party to keep his job.

He said: "So if our Military Intelligence Agency knows that the other party has lost his mind, we will immediately report it to the Ministry of National Defense."

Gil asked: "Back to the attack case, you didn't take any prisoners, so did you collect any useful intelligence from the attackers?"

The new partner Parker had been checking the information carefully. When he heard this, he said: "Captain, there are soldiers on site who heard the slogans they shouted."

"For a blue and clean world." Kjestein said the slogan and said: "We have also investigated this sentence, but it has not been circulated either in reality or on the Internet."

Gill said: "The Greyhound organization has previously used the banner of opposing urban development and protecting the environment, so it is not surprising that it would shout such a slogan."

Kjestein nodded and said, "All that's left is that the transportation captain has the same tattoo as the Greyhound organization logo."

Parker immediately said: "You missed two things, the tracking of the people around them, and the search of their residence."

Kjestein shrugged and said: "We basically investigated once, but found nothing. We also found the transport truck drivers who were killed. The enemy's hands and feet were very clean, and not a single hair was left for me."

Jill was deep in thought. The enemy struck first, moved quickly, and cleared up all the clues afterwards, which made the case more difficult.

Although Skynet is meticulous and meticulous, there are so many unsolved cases in the world, so this is more of a comforting word.

"What does your organization think of the enemy's goal of stealing a submarine? I remember that this Sauro-class submarine is only a conventionally powered submarine and does not have nuclear strike capabilities, right?"

In this case, Gill can only try to estimate the approximate range of the submarine from the enemy target.

"There is no nuclear bomb, but the problem is that the ship they stole was modernized. It did not have a vertical missile launch tube, but the torpedo launch tube was lengthened so that it could launch Harpoon anti-ship missiles from the submarine."

The data of this modernization and modification were not released, so Gill did not know this.

Kjestan added: "I asked the Navy. When the submarine was stolen, six 'Harpoon' missiles were taken away. Originally, this was prepared in advance to test the combat effectiveness after modification."

The Sauro-class submarine can carry a total of 6+6 torpedoes or missiles, but because the missiles are always placed in the launch tube, it is not easy to maintain. Therefore, when it was stolen, there were no missiles in the launch tube, and only six missiles in the spare missile bay were taken away.

Parker asked: "Real missiles?"

He held a glimmer of hope that the submarine was full of training missiles.

Kjestan replied with regret: "It's not a practice missile, but the latest underwater submarine launch version, which can basically fly on the horizontal line and has extremely high concealment."

"Damn it." Jill cursed angrily and said: "If the Greyhound organization becomes a traditional terrorist attack organization, it's okay. I'm afraid they will directly modify these missiles and turn them into biological and chemical virus missiles."

Kjestan was stunned. He really didn't expect there was such a practice.

Because he had always followed the traditional way of thinking, he thought that the Greyhound organization would use these missiles to directly threaten the countries to meet their needs, rather than doing it in vain.

In a hurry, he asked three questions in a row: "Wait a minute, these missiles are enough to threaten the countries, right? Why do we have to replace the warheads? And do they, a biochemical terrorist organization, have the technology to replace them?"

Parker analyzed: "The most difficult guidance part of the missile is ready-made, and I think the development company will not tell us even if there is a backdoor, because if it does, it will be equivalent to admitting that they have tampered with the missile, so they cannot use this to turn off the guidance function of the missile."

Kjestan did not refute and asked the question that the other party had not answered yet.

Jill said: "The missiles you installed are only for anti-ship use after all. I don't need to tell you which one can cause more damage than the biochemical virus missiles, right?"

Thinking of the Greyhound organization's previous record of creating biochemical crises in the city, Kjestan had no way to refute and immediately reported this possibility to his superiors.

It just so happened that the F.B.C. had come to a similar conclusion.

Therefore, the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately reported after a brief review, asking departments across the country to prepare for possible biochemical crises.

At the same time, taking this opportunity, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Chiefs of Staff of the three armed forces jointly implemented the screening plan and continued to secretly examine whether there were any traitors in the army.

——

A week of anxiety passed.

The Greyhound Organization still did not contact any country to make its own demands, nor did it launch a biochemical crisis incident anywhere.

Jill and her team's investigation also yielded nothing, and often the clues were cut off when they found a certain place.

Instead, the Beekeeper Organization took advantage of the fact that the European branch of the B.S.A.A. and the European branch of the F.B.C. focused on Italy to create several biochemical crises in other countries.

Italy got the bargaining chips and finally got the countries that controlled various waterways to agree to help intercept the stolen submarine Feltre for free.

The Mediterranean Sea is not as big as the oceans, but it is also the largest land-based sea in the world. They called in satellites, sent out patrol fleets, and asked more allies to help after complaining to NATO.

Finally, the countries along the coast of North Africa also negotiated, and the other party said they would help.

This week, the Italian Ministry of Defense also issued a reward, intending to let civilian ships at sea join the search for submarines to reduce the enemy's hiding space.

Anti-justice Italy has exhausted all means and strength to find it, but found nothing, and even made a mistake, treating other countries' submarines as stolen submarines.

Other countries will not help to find submarines all the time, because sending a fleet to sea costs a lot, and Italy obviously cannot afford it all the time.

Kjestan has also been suffering from severe hair loss during this period, and the whole person looks a little haggard.

After exchanging intelligence with another person in charge, he found that the other party had no new progress, which made him even more worried.

If he uses one word to describe his current feelings, it is "torture".

Jill also understood the other party's thoughts and took the initiative to speak, letting the meeting continue: "Okay, Kjestan, the other party's current approach is to deliberately exhaust our patience, and you have fallen into the trap."

She took the initiative to find the other party for this meeting, but she didn't expect that the other party's mental state has become so bad.

"How can I cheer up in this situation? The president has issued the latest instructions to all departments. I only have one week left to find the submarine, otherwise I will be replaced and my career will end."

Kjestan was weak. It was not easy for him to climb to his current position in the intelligence agency.

Now that he encountered such a helpless thing and it was not his fault, he was unwilling and felt deeply powerless.

Parker took over and said, "I checked before. The self-sustaining capacity of this submarine is more than 30 days. They have to hide underwater. It is normal that we can't find it."

Self-sustaining capacity refers to the maximum number of days that the consumables such as fresh water and food carried on the ship can maintain the ship's independent operation at sea.

Unlike torpedoes and missiles, the food and water in submarines are canned or bagged, which do not need to be replaced frequently, so the submarine warehouse is usually filled with them.

Jill asked, "Why are they so anxious?"

Kjestan sighed and said, "The big guys above have their own considerations."

That being said, he still explained the reason, saying: "As you said before, the other side is consuming our patience and wearing down our will. The people above can't stand it either."

To be precise, the people above can't stand the financial expenditure of searching for the stolen submarine.

Parker didn't understand: "The president won't be replaced until 2006, why is he so anxious?"

It's not that he thinks the submarine theft is not urgent, but that this matter can't be rushed.

As long as the submarine finds a suitable position to squat and enter a hidden state, the underwater sonar will not work, and you can only bet that you will be caught when the other side surfaces.

Italy is a country with satellites, and there is a high probability that it will be captured at that time.

Otherwise, even if you know where the submarine is hiding underwater, it is a pipe dream to want to take the submarine back intact.

Kjestan waved his hand and said, "Anyway, don't talk nonsense. Jill, you asked me to come here to cheer me up, didn't you?"

"We have two pieces of news, one good and one bad."

"Let's talk about the bad news first."

Jill nodded and said, "The Beekeeper Organization has appeared again to harm the world. I will bring some people back to host the finale."

She was worried about the lack of manpower, so she brought half of the branch agents here.

Then she turned to Parker and said, "Let him take care of things here."

"Okay." This bad news is not too bad for Kjestan.

Anyway, before the submarine is found, no matter how many people B.S.A.A. leaves in Italy, it will not be effective.

Recently, the agents of B.S.A.A. and F.B.C. are so idle that they can only go to various parts of Italy to train local military and police departments.

But one thing is one thing, B.S.A.A. training is charged.

It's not that B.S.A.A. is taking the opportunity to collect money, it's just to subsidize B.S.A.A.'s expenses.

Kjestan asked: "What's the good news?"

Jill said: "I contacted the African branch of B.S.A.A. to help monitor the ports along the Mediterranean coast of North Africa."

Before she finished speaking, the other party shouted excitedly: "Did you find the submarine?"

"Don't be excited, I told you a long time ago when I found the submarine."

Kjestan said: "That's right."

Jill didn't waste any words, took out a USB flash drive from his backpack, and said: "There is a tracking program inside, which is all for tracking and locating those irregular ships."

"No wonder you brought gloves here today." Christian's eyes flashed, and he understood the other party's intention, which was not to leave any handle.

And in order to keep confidentiality, this conference room did not install any monitoring and listening equipment.

Back to this incident, since the submarine cannot be tracked, then track and monitor those ships.

If the submarine needs to be supplied, it must need the help of a supply ship.

Regular ships have positioning and tracking, so they don't need tracking programs, but irregular ships don't want others to know their location, so the B.S.A.A. will install trackers on these ships.

"This is not good news, right?" Thinking about how to improve this method, Kjestan was in the mood to joke.

"Isn't it good news to find a method?" Jill continued: "The head of the African branch also asked me to convey a message to you."

Kjestan asked curiously: "What message?"

He or the Italian government never thought of asking the African branch of the B.S.A.A. for help from the beginning to the end. Even if it was not related to the Greyhound Organization, the Military Intelligence Bureau would not ask Jill and the F.B.C.

"Can the B.S.A.A. people also get the reward for the wanted warrant?"

Luo Guang saw that there was no special restriction on the wanted warrant, but Italy was a fence-sitter during World War I and World War II, so he asked Jill to help him confirm it.
