Red Alert Somalia

ps: Many book friends asked about time. The specific time is forbidden. It can only be represented by some simple events or a simple time period.

————————

Martin Dempsey is the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States. This U.S. military-born fighter served in Baghdad during the Second Iraq War. He served as the commander of the U.S. Army’s First Armored Division and was responsible for training and equipment. Iraqi security forces.

Later, he became the deputy commander of the US Central Command. As a four-star general, he has also become a representative of the US military.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff, together with the Department of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, belong to the United States Department of Defense. It is the most important agency of the Department of Defense and accepts the dual leadership of the President and the Secretary of Defense.Since both the US President and the Secretary of Defense are civilian officials, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has become the highest military commander of the US armed forces.The Joint Chiefs of Staff has a Joint Staff Department, whose main responsibility is to handle the day-to-day work of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, especially the formulation of strategic plans and the unification of strategic operations for the entire army.The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is only the chief military adviser to the President and the Secretary of Defense, and it is the President who really commands the entire army.

To be qualified, he is the third person in the US military, somewhat similar to the position of commander-in-chief of the military.

However, the four-star Dempsey Admiral has not shown a smile for a long time, especially since the Pentagon was destroyed, his heart is always full of haze.The Chinese are questioning his ability and the government.

Of course, this is not the main reason. If the United States wants to participate in the war, busyness is second.But there is always a deep crisis of trust surrounding him, and his life in the army, if there is a war before him, then he is confident to deal with all this.Just like Eisenhower back then, he returned to the peak of his life in adversity.

Now this kind of trust crisis surrounding him is what makes him feel uncomfortable.

According to polls, the support rate of American citizens for sending troops overseas is very low. When Obama took office, he promised the citizens to end the war. For this reason, Obama was awarded the Jobel Peace Prize.The resumption of war has made the American people even more dissatisfied with the government.Although the government has been doing non-stop propaganda, using anti-terrorism as an excuse, in order to gain popular support.But these methods are not enough to make most of the citizens support new foreign operations.

If it was just a normal situation, then this kind of crisis would not have come to him, but two consecutive incidents occurred in the first two days, which brought a huge shame to his resume.

Two Raptor fighters were shot down, and a SEAL team was captured. The opponent is still Somalia, the United States.

More importantly, Somalia made good use of the power of the media in these two things, which embarrassed the United States.Good things do not go out and evil things go for thousands of miles. The worst thing is that he, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was directly awarded the title of the most incompetent among all previous incumbents by many people.

The busyness of the past three days made him quickly ignore this unpleasantness. However, when he received another report from the Central Command, the cold sweat on his forehead permeated after he hung up the phone.

"The Carter is missing!" This was clear news from the Central Command. He asked three times in a row and confirmed it again and again, but the results remained the same.

After holding back the trembling hands and hurriedly signing a few documents on material deployment and troop movement, trembling hands took out an exquisite small box from the jacket pocket, took out a few antihypertensive pills from it, and stuffed them into his mouth. , And poured a few sips of boiling water.

After a series of short breaths, Dempsey calmed down his anxiety and eased his physical condition.

"Get your car and go to the temporary presidential palace."

...

In the car, Dempsey kept thinking about how to report this matter to the Secretary of Defense and the President.It is no small matter that an attack nuclear submarine has disappeared.If it's just a natural accident, there will be some signals, especially the emergency signals on the submarine. It is absolutely impossible that no information can be transmitted.

However, the result of the fact is that all the means of contact were used, that is, the Carter could not be contacted, and all the equipment that could accept the Carter submarine was also found nothing in these three days.

Of course, what bothers the United States the most is that when the Carter disappeared, it was on missions around Somalia.The actions of the SEAL team were seen through by Somalia in advance. Has the Carter also been attacked by Somalia?

According to the U.S. military's operational rules, when the submarine is waiting to return to the combat team, once the combat team exceeds half an hour, the submarine must immediately leave this place and return to the port before departure to confirm the information.

According to the Central Command’s estimate, after the SEAL team becomes a captive of Somalia, the submarine will also set off in the evening of the next day and return to the port in the early morning.However, the Central Command waited and waited, but there was no news of Carter's return.Many very long wave signals were transmitted, but no response was obtained.The task failure signal that was supposed to be reported was not received either.

All of this is telling the US that the Carter is likely to have an accident, just like the captured SEAL team.

Finally, on the third day, after the Central Command tried all means to no avail, it immediately reported back to Dempsey in the United States.At the same time, the results of the analysis and all the possibilities are submitted together.

In the end, this trouble fell on Dempsey.Dempsey, who was already in distress, is now really misfortune.

After arriving at the heavily guarded Provisional Presidential Palace, Dempsey hadn't thought of a complete reporting technique in his mind. However, the matter had already come, and he could not tolerate any more hesitation. Everything could only be reported to the President.

Because of his power and position, Obama did not let him wait for a long time. The first time he learned of his request, he immediately met him.

When things got to the point where things are now, Dempsey didn’t have the anxiety he had before. After walking into the president’s office and closing the door, he said directly: “Mr. President, go to the Somalia waters to carry out the submarine Carter that transported the SEAL team. I lost contact with the Central Command, and it has been more than three days."

"It's only three days, is this weird?" Obama hasn't reacted yet, just responding with common sense.

It is no wonder that a nuclear submarine sometimes does not contact the headquarters for ten and a half months, which is also an extremely normal thing.In particular, this kind of diving into the enemy's coastal waters is normal if there is no contact for two months.Therefore, when Obama heard his report, he was just a habitual rhetorical question.

"No, this time is different. No matter whether it is our very long wave communication or the signal receiver, there is no news of the Carter. This is an extremely abnormal thing, Mr. President, don't forget the encounter with the SEAL team. ......" Dempsey did not go on, he believed that these words were enough to make Obama react.

In the end, Dempsey was not disappointed. Obama's face tightened and he stood up and paced back and forth in the office. For a long time, he said, "Can this matter be certain?"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. President, although we don't know what happened to the Carter, the conclusion of the accident can already be made. Otherwise, the Central Command will not repeat the confirmation before coming back to us." Dempsey Face replied regretfully.

"Is it possible that it is a malfunction or is still lurking in the waters of Somalia, so that the submarine can not be contacted?..." Obama thought about many possibilities. He could not accept such a high-value combat ship in a way of disappearing. lose.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. President, the possibility of this accident is almost non-existent. I specifically asked. Before the Carter carried out the mission of escorting the SEAL team, the underwater ships in the Arabian Sea had optical fiber communication, and perhaps a lot of information. This information should have been sent to the Central Command for analysis. The task of transporting the seal squad was too urgent. The submarine came back with the aircraft carrier, so there was no time to submit this information..."

Having said this, Dempsey glanced at Obama and found that there was no sign of anger, and continued: "The Central Command also thought that this information was not in a hurry. After all, it would take several months to completely screen and select. But. Before departure, the order clearly told the Carter that it must return on time to repair the hull, and the crew will take a week off to make final adjustments before the battle.

The captain of the Carter is an old navy. He has served as the captain of many submarines and also served as the deputy captain of the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine. His loyalty to the country is beyond doubt.And all of this points to a result that we do not want to see, the Carter has an accident."

"Then tell me, whether this matter is a mechanical failure or you think it is." Obama's face is already very ugly. He has listened to Dempsey's analysis, but it is he who believes in these analyses that makes him His face was particularly ugly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, this happens to be the biggest doubt in this incident, because the Carter has no reason to be so silent, whether it is a mechanical failure or someone else's work." Dempsey did not know how to answer Obama's question, because Carter No one can tell exactly what happened to the number.

"Don't tell me, "The Hunt for the Red October" was really going to be staged? And the protagonist is our submarine!" Obama said.

"This can be ruled out. It won't happen now, and it won't happen in the future." Dempsey certainly knows what Obama is talking about. As soon as this kind of thing does appear, the blow to American prestige will be extremely heavy. one strike.

"Humph!" Obama snorted coldly, threw a document on the table in front of Dempsey, and said, "What's impossible, just look at this! The ultimate terrorist attack on the red a and fbi The results of the investigation are sensational!"
