Chapter 326 Expeditionary Fleet Departs
The entire navy was busy for the next few days.
Liu Yishou personally led a team to review each list.
The soldiers' resumes, combat records, and political background reports.
The desk was piled high with documents.
He looked at the list and ticked off the items as he went.
"This person has extensive experience, having participated in escort missions in the South China Sea."
"This one works too; it got the best anti-submarine training results."
"That won't work, we won't consider it for now, I'm not comfortable with the background."
Liu Yishou was meticulous, and he personally reviewed every single officer.
As for the soldiers, others would select them; he only needed to choose the non-commissioned officers.
Three days later, the list of 100,000 soldiers was finalized.
Everyone signed the highest level of confidentiality agreement and began to adapt to the new ship's combat systems and logistical support.
Training ground in the Arctic Ocean.
A heavily modified Type 055 destroyer, with a capacity of 10,000 tons, is breaking through the ice floes, carving out a white waterway.
The atmosphere in the bridge command room was somewhat strange.
"Report: Simulated underwater target group spotted ahead!"
"Prepare to release high-voltage pulse current!"
The commander stared at the screen and gave orders without expression.
The newly installed insulation layer on the bottom of the ship was instantly activated.
The energy from the nuclear fusion reactor was frantically extracted and channeled into electrodes densely distributed beneath the ship's hull.
Ten seconds later.
hum-
An invisible, terrifying force was suddenly released from the bottom of the ship.
The seawater within hundreds of meters around them instantly boiled, with countless white bubbles bubbling upwards, as if an underwater volcano were erupting.
The next second, the sea turned silvery white.
Thousands upon thousands of Arctic cod of varying sizes floated to the surface, belly up, creating a dense and spectacular sight.
On the deck, the soldiers on guard duty were dumbfounded.
A young soldier scratched his helmet.
"Squad leader, isn't our fish-catching efficiency a bit too high?"
The veteran sergeant next to him twitched at the corner of his mouth and cursed in a low voice:
"What kind of catch is this?! This is training! Don't you understand training?!"
"Understand……"
The young soldier shrank back and muttered under his breath:
"But this looks too much like fishing, the kind with a deadly net."
"When did our navy switch to fishing?"
The commander listened to the complaints on the public channel in the bridge, his forehead veins throbbing.
He picked up the communicator and roared:
"Seriously, everyone! This is combat training, not a fishing competition!"
Even so, looking at the "victories" covering the entire sea on the screen, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
Ever since the fleet underwent that so-called "core technology upgrade," the style of things has completely gone astray.
The power has increased dramatically, but all the new additions are some strange and unusual underwater weapons.
The ship's bottom had hundreds of torpedo and bomb launch ports, making it look like a hornet's nest.
It was also equipped with this "electric eel" system, which can be charged every ten minutes and stun all living aquatic creatures.
Supercavitating torpedoes, swarms of suicide unmanned underwater vehicles, underwater bombs...
The configuration is ridiculously exaggerated.
But nobody knows who the enemy is.
These past few days, a strange atmosphere, both oppressive and exhilarating, has permeated the entire Arctic base.
People are speculating about what the higher-ups are planning and who their perceived enemy is.
At this moment, inside the port.
Liu Yishou stood on the bridge of the flagship "Kunlun" and scanned his fleet with binoculars.
One aircraft carrier, ten destroyers, twenty frigates, one amphibious assault ship, twenty submarines, and thirty auxiliary ships.
A massive steel torrent has completed its final preparations.
The soldiers lined up and boarded the ship, their movements perfectly synchronized, a chilling atmosphere permeating the cold air.
He received orders to stand by.
"Damn it, they want it named the Expeditionary Force Fleet? What are they up to?!"
He muttered to himself.
Just then, the red encrypted phone behind him emitted a piercing scream.
Ring ring— Ring ring— Ring ring—
Liu Yishou was startled and turned around abruptly.
The officers on the entire bridge held their breath instantly, their eyes all fixed on the telephone.
This is a direct line to Chief No. 2.
Liu Yishou took a deep breath, strode forward, and grabbed the microphone.
He stood up straight, his voice booming like a bell.
"Reporting, Commander! The Great Xia Naval Expeditionary Fleet has completed assembly!"
"I, Liu Yishou, am reporting for duty!"
On the other end of the phone came the calm and steady voice of the Second Leader, tinged with barely suppressed anticipation.
"Old Liu, are you ready?"
"Reporting, Commander! One hundred thousand soldiers are fully equipped and ready to depart; the fleet is ready to set sail at any time!"
"it is good."
Number Two paused, his tone becoming extremely solemn.
"I hereby order the fleet to set sail immediately!"
"Heading to the Arctic Army Military Base."
Liu Yishou was taken aback.
No, what are we going there for?
Long Zhan didn't just disappear on a mission, he betrayed us?
Are we waiting for him to suppress them?
Before he could ask a question, Number Two's voice rang out again:
"From this moment forward, you will officially be integrated..."
"Project New Hope!"
boom!
Liu Yishou felt a surge of heat rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
New Hope Project!
That mysterious project that gave birth to room-temperature superconductors, controlled nuclear fusion, and the Zhengjin mecha!
That plan to make Long Zhan disappear into thin air!
That ultimate plan, which was listed as the top secret of the Great Xia Dynasty!
The mystery is finally about to be revealed!
He was so excited that his hand holding the microphone was trembling slightly.
"yes!"
He roared loudly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yishou took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.
He slammed his hand on the command platform.
"Damn it, I've finally waited for this day!"
"I want to see what exactly the New Hope Project is all about!"
He grabbed the military cap from the command platform, put it on his head properly, and turned to face all the bridge officers.
At this moment, he was free from his previous confusion and irritability, and his whole body was radiating high fighting spirit.
He grabbed the fleet's public address system microphone.
"Pass on my orders!"
"First Expeditionary Fleet, weigh anchor and set sail immediately!"
"Let's go!"
The fleet's ship whistles sounded a long blast.
Rumbling--
The massive Kunlun aircraft carrier was the first to start up, its nuclear fusion reactor emitting a deep roar.
The massive ship cleaved through the thick ice, like a steel behemoth awakening, and sailed towards the deepest part of the Arctic base.
Following closely behind, dozens of warships formed an endless steel dragon, breaking through the ice in the night.
The submarine was already prepared and followed silently beneath the surface of the sea.
The cracking sound of ice breaking mingled with the roar of engines, heralding the start of the expedition.
Liu Yishou stood on the bridge, gazing at the endless darkness and icy plains ahead.
He had no idea what they were about to face.
But who cares if what lies ahead is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire!
Who cares if the enemy is a super submarine or the latest technology from the United States!
The fleet of Great Xia is fearless!
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!
Damn it, let's get started!
