Chapter 819819Witnesses
In a noisy bar, a man smelling of fish sat in a booth, causing several dancers sitting next to him to subconsciously avoid him.
The next second, he slapped a few gold coins on the table, and the women who had been avoiding him a second ago gathered around him with smiles on their faces.
They greedily grabbed the gold coins on the table, then endured the disgusting smell of the sea, threw themselves on the man, and allowed him to knead and play with them.
This is not a place that talks about shame at all, so no one cares about anything. Everyone is just having fun, one gives money to the other and sells his body. Every aspect is extremely natural.
"You'd better bring back some useful news this time." The man sitting in the booth was holding a glass of wine, and sat on both sides were women who looked like they were of higher quality.
He is wearing a suit from the Tang Dynasty, and he looks polite and elegant at first glance. Women are more willing to earn money from such a gentleman, because they can also enjoy themselves during the transaction.
"My news is all paid for with my life, hehe." The man hugged the graceful waist of the woman next to him, grabbed the beer prepared in front of him, drank it all in one go, and then left the cup like this Smashed it on the table: "Ah! So cool!"
"This is yours." The very polite man took out a check from his arms and pushed it to the man. The women's eyes were all on that check, and many of them saw the eye-catching number 500 on it through the dim light.
A full 500 gold coins, for an ordinary person, this is already an unimaginable huge amount of money. But in this gold-spending cave, someone can spend 500 gold coins in one night.
The man grabbed the check from Cyric Bank, stuffed it randomly into his pocket, then hugged the woman and said: "I saw a plane flying in the sky more than 600 kilometers south of Long Island. The Stuka.”
“I asked you to find information, not to talk nonsense!” The man grabbed the wine glass and was startled by the news the man brought back.
As an expert in intelligence, he is also an expert who has fought with many weapons of the Tang Dynasty for many years. Unlike the idiots who are ridiculed and laughed at by the people, he is a real expert, a very capable one.
From the Battle of Qi to the war between the Great China Empire and the Tang Dynasty, statistics compiled from thousands of sorties show that no Stuka dive bomber has ever carried out a bombing mission of more than 300 kilometers in depth.
This has almost become a public opinion. Everyone believes that the range of the Tang Army's single-engine fighters and bombers is almost 600 kilometers.
In other words, 300 kilometers is almost the attack limit of these Stuka dive bombers. No matter how far they are, they will not be able to fly back to their base.
Compared with the flight distances of other countries, this flight distance is actually not too short. Everyone is about the same distance, and there is no obvious difference.
However, some people actually said that they saw a Stuka dive bomber at sea. This is too abnormal.
“There are no islands nearby. Are you sure everything you saw is real?” The man who was originally very gentle leaned forward and stared at the man who smelled like fish and asked.
"You know me, I never talk nonsense... That's why my information is valuable, isn't it?" The man who smelled like the sea said as he grabbed a second wine glass and took a sip. Then he dropped the wine glass on the table again.
“Did you really see it with your own eyes?” The man in a suit lay back on the sofa in the booth and stared at the man to confirm again.
“I really saw it with my own eyes! That’s a Stuka! It’s real.” The man makes a living at sea every year, and he indeed saw a Stuka dive bomber flying in that sea area.
“This is not good news!” The man in the suit muttered quietly, and for a moment he didn’t know what to do.
At this time, he was already wondering in his mind why the Stuka of Tang State appeared in the sea more than 600 kilometers south of Long Island.
According to common sense, this is simply impossible: unless the Tang State has a way to make this kind of aircraft fly such a distance.
No matter how you look at it, this is not good news: counting from land, the non-safety zone used to be more than 300 kilometers, but now it obviously extends to more than 600 kilometers.
This is simply a complete disaster for the navies of various countries who regard Tang's Dragon Island as an imaginary target for tribute!
If you draw a circle with the island controlled by the Tang State as the center and a radius of 600 kilometers, plus the routes that can take off from Island A and transfer to Island B, the range that the Tang Air Force can control has expanded to a quite terrifying level.
That means almost one-third of the Endless Sea is a dangerous zone. How can the navies of various countries fight?
Coupled with the elusive Tang submarine, what a guy! More than half of the Endless Sea is a danger zone. How can we fight this battle?
"Then I was driven away by a destroyer. The Tang Dynasty's destroyer was very fast. It was the same as what I showed you before. There was a big iron bump on it. I don't know what it was for." It was full of fishy smell. The smelly man saw that the other party was silent and then added. Tang Dynasty's destroyers have been photographed by many people. There is a special instrument above the bridge of this brand-new battleship. Most of the time, the thing is covered by canvas and cannot be seen clearly. There are a few photos that can give a rough idea of its appearance. Very weird.
The radar installed on Tang warships is still a new gadget, and the navies of various countries are not aware of the existence of such a thing.
However, as the Tang Dynasty’s new destroyers increased, navies from various countries gradually discovered that the Tang Navy was equipped with a new piece of equipment, but they didn’t know what it was used for.
It is almost impossible to keep it completely secret, but the Tang State has a rather special Dragon Island. The aircraft carrier secretly built on the Dragon Island is also a secret weapon unknown to the whole world.
"Okay, I understand." The man in the suit stood up, threw a few silver coins to the woman next to him, and then left without looking back.
The men hugging each other didn't care if the other one left. He turned his attention to the women on both sides and began to act more unscrupulously.
The woman's gasps were muffled by the sound of music, and the bright light in the distance hit the rotating ball covered with various colored glasses that kept rotating, making the atmosphere of the entire bar begin to become magical.
After walking out of the bar, the man in the suit got into a car and quickly disappeared into the night. The car arrived at an inconspicuous manor outside the city and slowly stopped at the door of the huge building.
The man got out of the car and quickly walked into this place: it is the intelligence agency of the Dorne Empire, responsible for collecting intelligence from other countries.
Soon, the conference room was filled with people, everyone was discussing the new information they had just obtained, and many officials had worried looks on their faces.
"We must find out why their planes have increased their range! If we don't do this, we may suffer another loss in the next war." A Dornish intelligence officer took the lead in emphasizing.
"You are right, but we really have no way to get close to Long Island. It is almost impossible for residents who disembark from Wei Port to cross the entire Long Island and enter Long Port. That is a military zone and civilians have been banned for a long time. Entered." Another official said helplessly.
This is not the first time that they want to approach Dragon Island. Ever since Dragon Island began to manufacture various advanced aircraft, many people have been thinking about ways to approach Dragon Island and find out the news.
Two years ago, some people pretended to be merchants and approached Longgang. However, later the commercial transportation of Longdao was transferred to Weigang, and Longgang was almost closed to the outside world.
Under such circumstances, it was very dangerous for anyone to approach Longgang. They had to cross Longdao and risk crossing the Tang Army's cordon - which was almost impossible.
"Maybe... they are just testing the ultimate range of the aircraft." An official from a distance put forward his own opinion.
On the one hand, the Tang State did have some new weapons and equipment being experimented with, and on the other hand, there was also a lot of information about the Tang State that was later proven to be completely false.
The intelligence agencies of various countries have little knowledge, and it is not uncommon for them to get some strange information and then scare themselves.
"Cyric's investigation team once picked up an external fuel tank on the battlefield of the Dahua Empire. Perhaps the Tang people can increase the combat distance of the aircraft by carrying this fuel tank." After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent. down.
Before Sirik handed over his shares to Tang Mo, he gave all the intelligence data from previous investigations to other countries for free.
This move was also the last struggle of some Cyric directors who were hostile to the Tang State. The impact of their actions was indeed great, at least in some aspects it did strengthen the intelligence agencies of various countries.
"We have checked that thing with the technical personnel of Tang State, and they admitted that it is an extended-range fuel tank, not a special bomb..." In the silence, he continued.
Indeed, his analysis is very reasonable. It is no secret that auxiliary fuel tanks are used as a means of extending the range of the Butcher fighter.
Many Butcher fighters will carry similar fuel tanks to increase their idle time and allow them to stay on the front line longer.
"You are talking about one possibility, but we must also consider another possibility!" The leading intelligence officer opened his mouth and set the tone for the entire incident: This is also a way for them to apply for funds. The more investigation projects they have, the more likely they are to investigate. The more funding they can apply for.
