"What?"
In the capital city, in the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Minister Zhang looked at his assistant.
"What's wrong now?"
Minister Zhang has had an extremely comfortable life these past two years.
China's economy, military strength, and other aspects are thriving, and its international standing is also growing rapidly.
In the past two years, countries that were previously close to Emily have intentionally or unintentionally revealed signs of potential cooperation.
But you think we can just cooperate like that? Doesn't my great China have any pride?
However, this did not hinder the smooth progress of their diplomatic work.
"Minister, we have just received a meeting request from Embassy Emily."
"They requested our aircraft carrier's assistance in rescuing their submarine."
"???"
Minister Zhang looked completely bewildered after hearing his assistant's words!
"What?"
"Should we help them rescue their submarine?"
"Yes, Minister. According to their diplomatic ambassador, one of their submarines has sank in the Mariana Trench."
"A distress signal has been sent, but it will take them time to get there from their base in Guam."
"But our Beijing and Shanghai ships are over there."
"They have sent a distress signal to the aircraft carrier, but they need orders from higher command."
"They came to us for help."
Minister Zhang waved his hand to stop his subordinate from speaking.
"Wait a minute."
"I remember we just rescued our submariners from the Mariana Trench, didn't we?"
Although this matter was not reported to the public, the higher-ups were aware of it.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, how could he not know?
"yes."
"And now Emily has crashed here again."
"Can we confirm that there are unknown risks here?"
In response to the discovery of the giant object on the seabed, an order to seal it off was issued.
Only the generals who attended the meeting that day, as well as Yuan Yi and the high-ranking officers of the two aircraft carriers, knew this news.
Minister Zhang grabbed the red telephone from his desk.
"Please transfer me to Line 1."
The call was transferred directly to the small red building in Zhonghai.
"Sir, we have just received news of Ambassador Emily's meeting."
"One of their submarines has also sank in the Mariana Trench and they need our rescue!"
Old Master Chu and Old Master Zhou were almost inseparable.
After hearing the report, the two exchanged a glance.
Old Master Chu said, "I understand. Tell them we will not send anyone to help."
"But it can help launch missiles and torpedoes."
They don't know what the situation is like underwater, or whether there's only one.
Or perhaps the entire tribe was equally unsure, which is why they wouldn't rashly send their soldiers to their deaths.
How can you risk your own life to save people from another country?
They're not our mother's people, and they're actually a secretly hostile country.
"Yes, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Minister Zhang immediately spoke to his subordinates.
"Go and tell Emily's people."
"We can provide support from the sidelines; we can launch torpedoes and missiles."
“Our soldiers have other missions and cannot be sent out.”
When this news reached the ears of the Guam base commander, he was so angry that he almost smashed things in the command post.
If I were launching missiles and torpedoes, would I need you guys?
Does this mean our Guam base can't launch missiles?
This isn't because we don't know what's going on, but because launching missiles would directly damage the Seawolf-class submarine.
What's the difference between that and not going to rescue them at all?
The base commander looked furious.
He turned his head directly to look at the staff member next to him.
"What's the situation now? Have you found out anything?"
"What exactly is attacking the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine?"
"Reporting to the Commander."
"Reconnaissance aircraft have been dispatched, and the detectors they deployed are currently conducting surveys."
"However, we are still a long way from the target, and the target is more than 1,500 meters deep in the ocean."
"It may take a few more minutes for the detector to arrive."
Upon hearing the staff's words, the Guam base commander could only erupt in helpless rage.
"Where are the submarines that were dispatched?"
"Where are the warships? Tell them to proceed at full speed."
"Yes, Commander."
"However, they will not arrive for another five hours."
"Go, contact the Ministry of National Defense for me."
"I need to report this news and prepare for the potential loss of the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine."
Upon hearing the commander's words, the staff in the command post felt a chill in their hearts.
Yes, according to the news that just came in, their chances of survival are slim.
If they had a few more hours, they would likely have sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"Yes, Commander."
We are currently contacting Emily's Ministry of Defense.
Images transmitted from reconnaissance equipment deployed by an electronic reconnaissance aircraft were displayed on the large screen in the command center.
Everyone who saw the situation clearly in an instant was speechless.
"What...what is that?"
A terrified voice rang out from the command post!
"What?"
"An octopus?"
"Are there really octopuses this big in the world?"
"Or is it some kind of unknown technological being?"
The people in the command post wore expressions of horror.
On the large screen, a colossal object, hundreds of meters long, was perched atop a Seawolf-class nuclear submarine.
Its tentacles were even more entangled inside the submarine.
