Mystery Makes Me Strong
Chapter 2740: Maritime Escort
At this time, under the watchful eyes of Wen Rensheng, a turning point for Zhang Meng appeared.
The reason is also very simple.
A big moneymaker found Zhang Meng's company.
The other party wanted to see a new type of naval battle, and gave the company a large sum of money for this.
This is normal. People are tired of watching ordinary war movies, so naval battle movies are on the rise.
It's just that there are still few excellent and popular naval battle movies.
The main reason is that many people don't understand it. Naval battles are very one-on-one.
It's not passionate enough, that is, big ships beat fewer ships, and more guns bully fewer guns.
If it is a modern war, it is a duel between aircraft carriers, and the performance of aircraft determines air supremacy.
This requires Zhang Meng to preside over it.
And Aili is simply not competent for such a complex military task.
There is no way, Aili had to help her husband up, in front of the computer, through remote command, to control the fleet forward.
"This mission is to escort, and the enemy is 3 to 5 submarines."
"You have a fleet of freighters, 15 freighters of 10,000 to 50,000 tons, which are of great value."
"There are also 3 troop transports, each with 3,000 people."
"You have seven destroyers for escort, and there is a seaplane on the destroyer that can be used for reconnaissance and anti-submarine operations."
Just seeing these numbers made Ai Li dizzy.
And she also had difficulty making a decision, not knowing how to perform the escort mission.
But this time, Zhang Meng must take responsibility.
It cannot be entrusted to his men.
So Zhang Meng was injected with a little less potion that day.
Yes, because Zhang Meng has a super physique, Ai Li found that as long as he didn't feed Da Lang pills for a day, the other party's condition would improve.
"Hubby, you will forgive me, you can deal with this mission first, I will treat you better, at most playing the live broadcast you like to watch for you every day." Ai Li promised.
Zhang Meng nodded.
...
In the vast North Ocean.
A long fleet of freighters broke through the waves.
The escort was only seven destroyers.
Just from this scale, we can know how big the company's investment was.
And the goal was just to please a big sponsor.
To be honest, Wen Rensheng also felt that it was a bit abnormal.
But if you think about it carefully, when there is overproduction, a lot of milk can be poured into the trenches instead of being sent to orphanages. It is just used to solve the problem of overproduction. What's the waste of this?
In fact, a lot of materials are in excess.
There is no sales market, so the military entertainment market with "unlimited digestion capacity" is really a great market for stimulating production.
Wen Rensheng saw Zhang Meng's mission.
They are now transporting from the north, in fact, to create a quick time difference.
Because at this time, the opponent's aircraft carriers are fighting in the south, and they can't be dispatched for a while.
Even if the aircraft carrier is free, it is impossible to use the aircraft carrier formation to attack this kind of freighter. It's too unprofitable.
At most, destroyers and submarines are used to ambush, and at most, some land-based aviation is added.
At this time, the seagulls in the sky made crisp calls, and the sunlight on the sea surface reflected dazzling light.
Everyone knew that there must be unknown dangers hidden under this peaceful sea surface.
The threat of submarines, enemy aircraft, and destroyer patrols are all challenges that the freighter must face during this voyage.
And they know that they will definitely encounter them.
Because if everything goes smoothly, who would be willing to watch it?
The sponsors want to see each other fighting each other, and the more tragic the death, the better.
Only in this way can they get pleasure from emotional release.
In the battlefield world, everyone is happy.
…
This is the third day of the voyage.
Captain "John" stood on the bridge of the destroyer early as usual.
His eyes were fixed on the sea, alert to possible threats.
"Damn submarines, don't show up."
"If you show up, you must be discovered by my telescope as soon as possible."
He used a telescope to scan the sea from time to time at the junction of the sea and the sky, looking at the sea surface.
I hope to see the enemy's periscope, but I don't want to see it.
He is Zhang Meng's manager.
For such a big scene, the manager has to go on stage.
Of course, he is in charge of command and basically will not die.
Because in times of crisis, he can surrender and call for mechanical deus ex machina... For example, the super-era stealth vertical take-off and landing fighter jet will directly enter the war zone and take him away.
Zhang Meng can also command remotely, but the captain of an important destroyer like him has to command in person.
Only managers have the ability to command warships.
It is impossible to rely on ordinary employees.
They can only be ordinary sailors.
"Stay alert, boys." John shouted loudly at the cabin, "We can't let any accidents happen."
"The cargo this time is very valuable. Even if there is insurance, if we fail, everyone will go bankrupt!"
His words have two meanings.
One is that if you fail, you will die on the battlefield, so there will be no continuous salary.
And some people have families.
Of course, this is a special treatment of the company for some employees with outstanding military achievements.
There are always treatments for great people, even in a slave society.
Second, if the mission fails, even if you get out alive, you will be fined by the company.
It is another "bankruptcy".
The crew nodded.
Their eyes revealed determination.
This time it is not just about making money, but fighting for the position in the company.
If you make great contributions, you may even be promoted to the position of deputy manager, taking the first step to becoming a superior person.
Just like Zhang Meng, he became a manager from a survivor in the training ground.
It is legendary.
And the woman who once saved Zhang Meng is said to regret it now.
She regrets not saving him to the end and marrying him.
It's a pity now.
Although these people cannot command operations, they have many missions and are experienced veterans.
They even know how to survive in this dangerous sea.
Once you fall into the water, it is very cold here.
You must find floating objects to connect together. This task must be completed within 20 minutes.
Otherwise, you will freeze to death.
The horror of losing temperature is not directly felt by ordinary people.
In the sea water, in the northern sea water, it took more than ten minutes to not freeze to death.
As night fell, the wind and waves on the sea became more turbulent.
The destroyers, along with many other cargo ships, swayed in the waves, but they all moved forward firmly.
The escort formation they formed was scattered in two weeks, expanding the alert right, and was on high alert.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night.
It was just that the northern route was too windy and rough, and some cargo fell into the sea.
The next morning, sailors began to get busy on the decks of many cargo ships.
They checked the fixation of the cargo again to ensure that it would not be displaced or dropped due to wind and waves during the continued voyage.
You have to know that these transported goods are very expensive.
Yes, in order to make the acting realistic, these props are real.
Wen Rensheng had to admit it.
This technology is highly developed, and too much is produced, so it is indeed impossible not to waste.
The destroyers continued to patrol around the formation.
Their radars were fully turned on, scanning the sea surface vigilantly to prevent any possible threats.
At this moment.
On the bridge of the flagship, Major Hank Miller, the captain of the destroyer fleet, was observing the sea surface with a telescope.
His experience told him that danger was coming soon.
Of course, this was not based on the battlefield terrain, but on the mission and the broadcast of the movie.
It has been three days since the departure into the dangerous waters, and the sponsor will not wait to watch those ordinary sailing stories.
We are about to enter the battle.
Thinking of this, Miller frowned slightly, and there was always an indescribable tension in his heart.
He suddenly felt a kind of hatred in his heart.
It was really hateful, treating their combat as a fight!
It was really hateful. He heard that General Manager Zhang seemed to be gathering everyone to change.
He decided to join in.
Because he felt that he could survive this time, but what about the next time?
He knew very well that there were very few warships that could fight all kinds of battlefields.
And it was even rarer for the sailors on it to survive.
"Maintain full alert and conduct air and sea searches!" Miller ordered immediately.
"Yes, full alert immediately!"
Soon, the formation began to be fully alert.
The freighters cooperated very well to change to a defensive formation, which was a formation that was easy to evade maneuvers and avoid enemy torpedoes.
Miller guessed right.
In the dark water, an enemy submarine was quietly ambushing.
It had been following the formation in the distance for three whole days.
But there was no good opportunity to launch an attack.
The merchant ship is slow, so the submarine can catch up.
The submarine commander is the team leader of another company.
At this time, his eyes were flashing with a cold light.
He just received a telegram asking him to intercept and destroy the freight formation.
In fact, he felt that the mission came a little late.
His submarine was an old submarine and was not equipped with the latest torpedoes.
So he was at a great disadvantage and needed to find a suitable opportunity.
The wind and waves were too strong last night, and the timing for launching torpedoes was not ripe.
The torpedoes would only be deflected by the waves.
So he had to take the risk to do it during the day.
But in this way, he might not be able to escape.
After all, the enemy has many destroyers.
But he still has to try and strive to make great contributions. For those who have made great contributions, the company will make exceptions for promotion.
"Ascend to the periscope depth, prepare to approach target No. 1, and prepare to launch torpedoes."
"Ascend..."
As the captain's voice was repeated.
He was using a periscope to lock the enemy's slow caravan in the distance.
He couldn't help but reveal excitement in his eyes.
The submariners acted quickly.
Their movements were skillful and flexible.
"Rise to periscope depth, lock freighter No. 3, the largest one, and then fix the depth and continue to try to attack other freighters."
He would not attack the destroyer, there was no point.
He hoped that there would be a large number of soldiers on those freighters.
That would make him powerful.
At least he could kill several thousand Maiguo soldiers at once.
This was completely different from the army.
His four torpedoes had long been loaded into the launch tubes, and the target was being locked.
The captain operated the periscope and looked at the target.
Once he entered the launch position, he ordered the launch.
...
At this time.
On the bridge of the destroyer, Major Miller's intuition told him.
There was a huge danger approaching quickly.
Suddenly, the voice of the sonar operator broke the silence of the bridge.
"Captain, position XXX, distance 3200 meters, we detected an abnormal signal underwater, it may be a submarine!" The sonar operator's voice was tense and urgent.
A gleam of light flashed in Miller's eyes, and he quickly issued an order: "All ships are on alert, ready for anti-submarine operations!"
"Prepare depth charges!"
"Send reconnaissance planes, prepare to attack submarines!"
The destroyer quickly adjusted its course and drove at high speed towards the discovered location.
After driving over the other side, it began to drop depth charges of different depths, as well as a large number of sonar buoys.
It tried to locate and destroy the submerged submarine.
The atmosphere on the sea surface immediately became tense.
The harsh alarm sound and the broadcast sound let every crew member know that they were facing a life-and-death contest.
"Turn and flee immediately!"
"The freighter began to change course!"
At this time, the depth charge exploded in the sea, stirring up a huge water column.
The crew on the destroyer stared at the sea surface nervously, observing the effect of the explosion.
How they hoped that the next explosion would bring up the submarine's oil.
Suddenly.
They saw the outline of a submarine, which was emerging on the water surface not far away.
It was already injured, and it was forced out of the water by the explosion of the depth charge.
It turned out that its cracks were very large. If it were not for its good material, it would not be able to withstand the pressure.
"Main gun fire!" Miller gave the order in surprise!
Many guns on the destroyer immediately fired at the same time!
Columns of water exploded around the submarine.
The enemy submarine still wanted to try to dodge.
But its speed was not comparable to that of the destroyer.
How to avoid the destroyer's gunfire?
The last shell hit the submarine's hull accurately, and finally caused a huge explosion.
A black column of smoke rose from the sea, and the submarine quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.
The crew on the destroyer cheered.
They successfully sank an enemy submarine and protected the safety of the freight formation.
"It's not easy!"
"Yes, it was really hard to fight, but we won!"
"Send a telegram to the Navy Headquarters, we successfully sank an enemy submarine at XXX, XXX on the northern route!" Miller said.
This small victory finally calmed the sailors' fear of this mission.
...
Five days later, a port.
Captain John stood on the deck, looking at the welcoming crowd on the dock.
He felt the breeze blowing, and his heart finally relaxed.
"Finally arrived!"
"Yes, it was not easy."
"These 20 days have been full of dangers, but fortunately we made it!"
The first mate and the chief engineer were talking excitedly there.
They can go ashore to drink and rest.
The cry of seagulls is echoing over the port.
The crew, guided by the pilot, successfully docked at the dock.
And the anti-aircraft position is also on standby.
This is to prevent enemy planes from bombing.
Everything is so professional.
Wen Rensheng nodded.
These guys are really good at acting, and they know that if they act too fake, the financiers won't watch.
Meanwhile, the workers are busy, stepping forward to prepare for unloading.
A group of special technical representatives are already waiting at the dock.
They are all engineers and technicians.
Their eyes reveal their desire for these equipment.
They naturally know nothing about the upper-level strategy.
At this time, they are just completing the task, and of course they have to show their need for the items.
For these freighter formations, they came from afar, and Zhang Meng naturally knew that this was a written script.
Zhang Meng would not tell them about these things.
There are some strategic decisions that can only be made by him alone.
As the first freighter docked, the workers quickly began to unload the cargo.
Their movements were quick and orderly, and everyone was very hardworking.
They carefully unloaded each piece of equipment from the ship and then transported it to a so-called new industrial base.
This industrial construction will take at least more than ten years.
Zhang Meng didn't understand why he had to do this in the mission.
It's obviously all fake.
It's also a waste of manpower, and the financiers don't care to watch it.
