Chapter 742 Entering the Hook (asking for monthly tickets)
It seems that everyone has similar ideas.
This kind of special investigation mission is best left to the special forces.
"Cavill!"
"Mason!"
...
When the speedboat approaches.
Several NATO special forces introduced themselves to each other one by one, and Gu Ji and Gorukov also responded briefly.
It's just that he used a fake name.
In fact, all along.
Except for the two checkpoints of Ryder Airport and Diamond Cruise, he has been deliberately hiding any information of the 7472 unit.
The purpose is not to attract too much attention from state agencies.
In order to avoid being targeted by others, and finally finding him.
But with the convening of the "Romanian International Anti-Terrorism Summit", the 7472 unit has been pushed to the front, and it is not meaningful to continue hiding.
In addition, Gu Ji now has the latest information about the mysterious sect.
The terrifying energy behind this organization is far beyond what he, or even the 7472 unit, can easily deal with.
So.
He must find a way to drag these national forces into the water and work together to deal with the mysterious sect.
This is why Gu Ji is willing to agree to Akelimovich to share the relevant information of "Cohen" with Russia.
It is beneficial to him.
But the example of "Ivan" makes Gu Ji temporarily dare not trust anyone other than the "Losharik" submarine, so as not to encounter the inner ghost of the mysterious sect again and increase the influence factor.
Fortunately.
Everyone wore a tactical mask to cover their faces, so even if they said a fake name casually, the other party could not find it out.
"It has been a while since the sinking of the "Hook". There is no time to lose. Let's set off as soon as possible!"
"Okay."
In the face of Cavill's urging, Gorukov just nodded lightly, and then opened the hatch and let several people get into the rescue boat.
Gu Ji glanced at the AOR-1 camouflage frog suit he was wearing, which is a typical equipment of SEAL Team Six.
As for the one named Merlin, he should be from the British SBS Special Boat Service.
The entire NATO joint special forces is led by the two of them.
The rescue boat dispatched by the Russian side this time is exactly the same as the submarine that docked the "Flying Leap" in the first round, which can accommodate more than a dozen people at a time.
It is cigar-shaped as a whole, with a huge propeller at the tail.
The head is equipped with a searchlight and an active sonar system. There is no independent control room, only two chairs and two round screens as a simple control system for this rescue boat.
However, it is different from the previous one.
This time, the people did not return to the bottom cabin of the "Losharik" on the shuttle boat, but directly attached it to the back of the submarine.
Most military submarines have top and bottom mounting capabilities.
The reason why the Russian army chose not to let the shuttle boat enter the boat is probably because of confidentiality issues, fearing that these NATO special forces would take this opportunity to explore the military intelligence information of the "Losharik".
After the successful mounting.
Under the noses of the Royal Norwegian Fleet and the British North Sea Fleet, the "Losharik" began its first investigation dive.
The specific method is to roughly lock an area that may sink to the bottom according to the position where the torpedo hit the "Hook" at that time, and estimate the speed of the ocean current.
Then, through the active sonar system illumination and the seabed scanning robot, the target sunken boat is searched step by step.
As the submarine continues to dive.
Perhaps because the rescue ship is too small, it can better feel the impact of the ocean current on the submarine shell.
The "creaking" sound of metal pressure really makes people feel breathless.
However, what NATO soldiers pay more attention to is the diving speed of the "Losharik".
According to the numbers displayed on the console, the Russian army took only a few seconds to quickly dive to a depth of several hundred meters. This advanced technology is shocking.
Soon.
The depth reached 900 meters, and the "Losharik" finally began to slow down.
Through the observation window, Gu Ji saw two detection robots being released and began to look for traces of the "Hook" around.
The depth of the Arctic Ocean is much lower than that of the Norwegian Sea in the Pacific Ocean.
The seabed mostly exists in the form of sea basins, which are relatively flatter than the seabed mountains.
But you can still see many boulders and reefs, and even a rusty shipwreck.
I wonder if the tourists on the "Flying Leap" would still be in the mood to cheer for it if they were there.
"That's..."
"Finally found it! It's the Hook submarine!"
In less than a quarter of an hour.
In the picture sent back by the detection robot, everyone saw a giant submarine lying on the seabed.
From its smooth shell, it can be basically confirmed that it is the "Hook" strategic ballistic missile nuclear submarine that just sank!
"The bow of the boat is damaged, probably because it hit the seabed when it sank!"
"God, this is the first time I've seen a sunken nuclear submarine!"
"Me too..."
Many soldiers surrounded the control area, staring at the detection picture intently.
Although everyone present was from the T1 special forces, submarine warfare was an extremely rare type of warfare, and many special forces soldiers had only heard stories about it in the last century, let alone seen it with their own eyes.
As the camera zoomed in.
Gu Ji could clearly see the multiple dents on the hull.
Some of them were left behind when he fired torpedoes, and some were hit by Russian Type 65 torpedoes, sank to the bottom of the sea, and were deformed by sea pressure.
Which is a fatal location.
There are two huge penetration-shaped depressions located in the middle and stern of the boat.
It looked like a human skin shot, leaving two sunflower-like open wounds on the boat.
The latter directly damaged the power system of the "Hook".
The former affects the living cabin and missile cabin.
"Someone!!"
"Even if there were people, they would have been dead long ago!"
Someone exclaimed.
Sure enough, through the torpedo hole the size of a basketball, a white human brain suddenly appeared in the detector's camera lens, staring out with a pair of eyes as swollen as light bulbs.
Compared to someone who drowned.
The scene of his death was even more horrific. The entire lung cavity had completely collapsed, as if it had been flattened by a road roller and then blown up again.
This is because the pressure on the ocean floor is too high.
When the "Hook" was sunk, sea water poured directly in, and huge sea pressure came up.
This group of extremists had no time to react before their chest and ribs were crushed, and finally they were filled with seawater, which turned them into this ghostly appearance.
But what really caught everyone’s attention was this.
These people were actually wearing military uniforms.
and is...
U.S. military uniform! !
At that moment, Gu Ji could clearly feel the change in the demeanor of the special forces elites around him.
Especially Gorukov's suspicion.
and Cavill’s tight-shooting action from SEAL Team 6.
"I didn't expect these extremists to know how to frame people..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to get tense, Mason from SBS in the UK took the lead and broke the deadlock.
Two Norwegian MJK naval special operations force soldiers on the side also hurriedly echoed "Yeah, yeah".
Although Gu Ji also knew that this was definitely not done by the United States.
Otherwise, it will definitely not only be the 667A submarine waiting for the "Losarik", but Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines, Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines, including Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines are all waiting to come up.
But he also doesn't believe they are all extremists or mercenaries.
To know.
The operation, driving and attacking of a strategic submarine are not as simple as children's play.
The professional difficulty is even higher than flying a plane!
Without the involvement of professional navy, even if I beat myself to death, I wouldn’t believe it!
"The front end of the 'Hook' is intact and the tender is ready for breakaway investigation!"
"Yes! Check the positive balance baffle, the interface gate is closed, prepare to escape, three, two, one..."
Accompanied by Aklimovich's orders.
The Russian pilot of the rescue boat read many professional words in one breath, and at the same time, like the captain of an aircraft, he checked various indicators in turn.
After confirming that everything is correct, press the breakaway button.
After a "chi" sound.
Gu Gu felt that the boat suddenly began to shake violently, like dead leaves falling from a tree.
It wasn't until there was a "buzzing" roar from the tail and the power blades started that stability was gradually restored.
Next, the pilot turned on the searchlight and began to slowly approach the "Hook".
Under the illumination of the light, the surface of the submarine glowed with a cold blue metallic luster, and the location they really wanted to reach was the circular connection port behind the control tower.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
"Oh! Why did it suddenly start shaking again?"
"The current near the Hook is too strong and has reached 4 nautical miles!" Cavell of SEAL Team 6 glanced at the data in the control area. "Now we must work backwards based on the current to maintain stability!"
"Current 1-5-0, two-thirds power."
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, the Russian pilot immediately operated according to this value.
really.
The effect was immediate, and in less than two seconds, the submarine stabilized.
Cavill turned his head and saw that it was Gu Ji, and his pupils could not help but shrink.
To know.
Although the naval special forces have many skills, there are very few soldiers who know how to drive a submarine.
For a while.
Several people couldn't help but secretly guess Gu Ji's identity.
Especially his voice, which didn't sound like he was in his prime at all.
"Speed 0.2, distance 5 feet! Must be slow and control the power!" Gu Ji ignored them and continued to direct the driver to perform precise operations.
This kind of submarine connection is just like aerial refueling of an aircraft, it is very dangerous.
Once you make a mistake, it may turn into a collision accident.
"2 feet!"
"Damn! The riptide is too strong!"
"More power, three quarters!"
Gu Ji and the driver exchanged words one after another.
As the latter gritted his teeth and grabbed the power lever, he finally heard a "bang" and the boat stabilized instantly.
Everyone was relieved.
"Huha... Report to the 'Losarik', the tender has successfully docked! Now start to adjust the pressure..."
"Brothers, it's our turn!"
While the pilot was reporting to the submarine.
However, Cavill and Mason took off their gun slings and came to the connection position with their guns. They held their guns in a low posture and were alert to the watertight door.
The pilot turned off the power blades.
He took off his seat belt, came to the watertight door, twisted the turntable in circles, and then pulled it hard, and saw the wet circular docking port of the "Hook" submarine.
Cavill and others immediately raised their guns.
Seeing that there was no movement at the docking port, he glanced at his teammates beside him.
A look.
The latter took out a device from his backpack, put on the monitoring headphones, and attached the detector to the metal shell of the "Hook".
"Shh!"
He made a gesture to silence everyone, and then closed his eyes and listened carefully.
Gu Ji could see it.
This thing is like an upgraded version of the hospital's stethoscope, which can eavesdrop on whether there is human activity inside through the submarine shell.
"There is a sound!"
"Sure enough, there are still people alive inside!!"
Hearing what his subordinates said, Cavill and others immediately showed some excitement on their faces.
Obviously.
The fact that someone survived was already within their expectations.
Because a strategic nuclear submarine has been designed with great effort in defense and safe survival.
Multiple compartments are one of them.
Even if the middle and tail sections of the submarine are bombed, as long as the watertight doors can be closed in time, the compartments can form independent spaces, just like small submarines, to ensure the survival of the soldiers.
But this crisis situation can't last too long.
Because the outer shell of the submarine has been damaged after all, the inner shell can't last long under the continuous pressure of water pressure.
In addition, the power system is seriously damaged, the life support system is difficult to maintain, and the oxygen will soon be used up, so once the submarine sinks, it is not easy to rescue.
In 1953, the sinking of the Turkish military submarine Pinar was like this.
22 soldiers were crowded in a closed torpedo compartment, waiting for rescue. They were forbidden to talk and move to ensure the extension of oxygen supply time.
But after three days, they were suffocated to death in the deep sea due to the failure of rescue.
And the reason why Gu Ji and his team came here so quickly this time.
On the one hand, the Russian submarine happened to be equipped with a docking boat, and on the other hand, the development and progress of military technology has improved the submarine's compressive strength.
Otherwise, it would have been a fantasy to conduct a docking investigation at a depth of 900 meters in the past.
"Driver, you are responsible for opening the docking port! The rest of you, prepare the stun bombs!"
"Yes!"
"Wait, you want to shoot directly here?"
Cavill had just given the order.
Gorukov reached out to stop him, "The submarine docking place is very fragile. Once affected, we will all be finished!"
"Then what do you want to do? Do you want to take the initiative to go down and wait for the extremists inside to be wiped out?"
"Cavill is right. The power of the stun bomb is not enough to affect the docking port. Throwing a few down and pulling the battlefield into the Hook is a good choice!"
"Don't worry, even if we really open fire, we will avoid the docking port!"
Cavill asked back.
Mason and other NATO soldiers followed suit to dissuade him.
This undoubtedly made Gorukov very angry.
There was nothing he could do.
After all, there were so many people in his family!
