The freighter carrying lithography machines was driving on the sea, but it touched the hearts of many people, and countless people were concerned about the development of things.

"The beautiful family started to take action. They intercepted the British freighter. The British freighter returned, but the whereabouts of the machine were not found."

"Why do you need to transport it by three ships?"

"It is to ensure safety. Even if one can arrive in the country smoothly, it will definitely be a great victory. This incident reminds me of the "Toshiba Incident" that year. Japan privately exported precision machine tools to the Soviet Union. At that time, that incident had a great impact. It was known as the "largest smuggling case during the Cold War" and ruined the beautiful family's decades of hard work."

"Yes, if the EUV lithography function is achieved in China this time, it is no less than the "Toshiba Incident", and Meilijia's plan to block our chips will go bankrupt."

"I'm so excited, so nervous, I hope nothing happens."

"What is most worrying now is that the beautiful family takes the initiative to take action. Their shamelessness has no bottom line and can do anything."

"It seems that Boss Jiang didn't believe him anymore. He was a little worried about him. He might as well return home as soon as possible. The wind is very strong outside now." Someone said worriedly.

Where is Jiang Hao?

No one knows.

At the secret gathering place of the US Intelligence Agency, a group of people were being scolded. The supervisor flew to the Netherlands in person and cursed the incompetent subordinates.

"You are the elites of the Intelligence Bureau. You are specially asked to complete this mission, but you didn't even encounter anyone. They were fooled by others. Now they have transported the lithography machine away. Do you know how troublesome it will be to process it later!"

"There is nothing on the British freighter, it's just a cover. Things must be on Chinese freighters or Hong Kong freighters, or transported separately to ensure safety. Do you know how much political risks the two freighters may bear? This is all caused by your poor work in the early stage."

"I'm here to wipe your butt, or a big butt."

"There is also that Jiang Hao, who has no whereabouts so far. Where did he go and whether he has left the Netherlands, these must be investigated clearly. If he is still in the Netherlands, try his best to find out him and make up for his mistakes this time."

The supervisor was talking endlessly, and the eyes of the captain next to him suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he turned a little red.

His hand reached into his armpit and grabbed the pistol under the suit.

Without hesitation, the team leader pulled out the gun directly from his armpit. Their pistols were kept safe and the bullets were loaded all year round to ensure that they could be used at any time.

The pistol was lifted up and pointed directly at the supervisor.

The supervisor was stunned, "Mckey, what are you doing?!"

"Bang!"

Without a word of nonsense, the gunshot sounded, and there was a blood hole in the supervisor's chest. The blood quickly wet the white shirt. He looked at the captain in disbelief and fell to the side.

"team leader?!"

"Why the captain?"

The others looked at their captain in shock. They never thought that the captain would suddenly shoot his boss.

McGee turned his head, and everyone saw his eyes cold and gloomy, and suddenly raised his gun and shot at the others.

"Bang bang bang bang~~!"

The two unprepared men were immediately shot, and the others immediately reacted and jumped to the side to avoid it, and at the same time pulled out the gun and shot it at McGee.

They were all the most professional agents and had strong combat power. The two sides started a gunfight at the stronghold. The final result was that Captain McGee was killed, and only two of the team members survived, and one of them was seriously injured.

Their team has been completely scrapped.

Call the police, call an ambulance, inform the intelligence department to deal with it. Someone launched an investigation and no one could give an answer to Captain McGee's sudden shooting and killing. In the end, it could only be listed as a possible mental illness at that time, otherwise it would be impossible to explain it at all.

After obtaining such a conclusion report, the senior executives of the headquarters were so angry that they smashed the report on the table and cursed loudly in anger.

"What the hell is this? It's inexplicable."

......

After leaving the Dutch port, the two cargo ships passed the English Channel and came to the North Atlantic Ocean. Next, they had two routes to return to the country. One was to walk through the Strait of Gibraltar, through the Mediterranean, across the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea to the Indian Ocean, and then through the Strait of Malacca, entering the South China Sea, and returning to the embrace of the motherland.

This is the closest road.

Another road is to cross the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and return to China. This route is nearly twice as far away than the canal route.

The two freighters were not far from each other at the beginning. After leaving the English Channel, the two ships gradually separated. The Hong Kong freighters moved eastward and prepared to take the canal route, while the Chinese freighters headed straight south, preparing to take the Cape of Hope route.

The beautiful family naturally monitored this situation, and they used special satellites to locate the two ships.

"If the canal route is not good, I will kill it directly. I will send a fleet to intercept it in the Mediterranean and inspect it in the name of smuggling high-tech equipment and possibly carrying weapons. As long as I see the shadow of the lithography machine, I will immediately seize it."

"As for the freighter that was traveling outside the sea, send a submarine directly to make it an accident."

......

A Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine is moving forward in the silent deep sea, and the satellite positioning is very clear. Their target this time is a cargo ship. This mission is simply easy for a new-class multi-purpose attack nuclear submarine like Meili.

The "Virginia"-class nuclear submarine is the main force in the US military's offshore operations in the 21st century. The first boat was completed and put into service in 2004. So far, it has built a total of 29 ships, 115 meters long and 10 meters wide, like a big cigar.

The displacement is 7,800 tons, the underwater speed is 25 knots, the diving depth is 250 meters, and the nuclear reactor can be used for 33 years at a time, which basically lasts a lifetime.

It is equipped with 12 "Tomahawk" cruise missile vertical launch tubes and 4 533 mm torpedo launch tubes, which can launch Mk48 ADCAP heavy torpedo and "harpoon" anti-ship missiles. The boat-mounted electronic equipment is equipped with an advanced C4ISR combat system, and has extremely strong combat capabilities.

"The captain has formulated a combat plan. The freighter will arrive at the predetermined location in two days. According to the weather forecast, there will be a storm in two days, and the maximum storm will reach about 8 meters." The combatants reported.

The captain nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "In the storm weather, satellites cannot be monitored at all. It is normal for a sea freighter to accidentally capsize and sink in the wind and waves. Let's follow this plan."

The nuclear submarine arrived at the reserved location one day in advance and lurked 200 meters deep in the deep sea. At this depth, the satellite did not work for the submarine at all, and the rest was just waiting quietly.

The submarine was very quiet. Except for the on-duty staff, everyone else should do whatever they should do, chat, play cards, and play games.

Sonar constantly detects the surrounding situation, and some people found a group of large fishes approaching. According to the reflected waves, it is likely that they were large fish such as tuna, and the observers did not pay attention to it.

Soon, the fish came close to the submarine.

suddenly.

The submarine trembled suddenly, and an alarm sounded in the combat room.

"What happened?" the deputy captain on duty immediately asked loudly.

"Reported that the submarine propeller was hit. A group of tuna swam over just now. I wonder if some fish hit the propeller."

"Inspect whether there is any damage, I will report it to the captain." The deputy captain said urgently.

The captain also rushed over and asked what happened. At this time, the monitoring staff said nervously: "Captain, the automatic detection system reported that the propeller was damaged in serious condition and could not operate normally."

The captain frowned deeply. Even if he was hit by a fish, such a large propeller would not have had such a serious failure and could not turn.

"Float immediately, and notify the base to send a ship to pick us up after the float." The captain ordered.

"Captain, but when we float up, we are exposed directly. What should we do about the mission?" asked the deputy captain.

"Now I don't have time to consider the mission, let them study the countermeasures again. I will be responsible for more than 100 people on the submarine."

The operator was ready to float up immediately, but just when the drainage was boosting, an alarm suddenly sounded again. The monitoring staff shouted loudly, "Captain, the computer detected that our booster equipment had a serious failure, the valve had exploded, and multiple pipelines were damaged, so it was impossible to float up at all."

Everyone was shocked at this moment.

The captain didn't believe this was true. This submarine has only been in service for 10 years and is still a young and middle-aged man. The equipment on the ship is very advanced. It will undergo careful inspection before going to sea. How could the pressure relief valve suddenly explode?

"Carry out the maintenance immediately." The captain ordered loudly.

I hope there is no big problem and I can repair it myself. If I am really trapped underwater, then this advanced nuclear submarine will really become an iron coffin.

What's even more terrifying is that if the problem is serious and the submarine sinks automatically, this is the North Atlantic Ocean. The depth of this sea area exceeds 3,000 meters. Once it sinks, no one can save them.

Everyone was nervous and busy.

What tasks and Chinese cargo ships have become meaningless now, and nothing is more important than life.

After inspection, the captain found that the problem of the submarine was very serious and they could not solve it themselves. They immediately released the communication ball, floated to the water surface to contact the base, and asked the base to come to rescue.

A huge container freighter sailed over the communication ball, not paying attention to the black ball at sea, and the huge hull crushed over the ball.

Bang!

The black ball exploded.

......

On the Mediterranean, a huge 120,000-ton container cargo ship was slowly sailing. The captain looked at the sky and the weather was a bit gloomy today. He knew that the storm was coming.

The previous broadcast on the ship was previewed by the maritime department that this was a "semi-tropical cyclone". The wind should be only eight or nine levels, accompanied by rainfall, and it cannot reach the storm level. For this cargo ship, it is only a small wind and wave and does not affect navigation at all.

Just then,

A US destroyer caught up from afar and called out to the freighter through the channel, demanding that the Hong Kong freighter sail to Benghazi port and stop for inspection.

The captain suddenly became nervous.

He had actually heard before that the goods transported this time involved some lithography machine. He put hundreds of cargo boxes together in the Dutch port. He didn't know which one was a lithography machine or whether there were those batches of lithography machines.

When other crew members heard that they were intercepted by US warships, they felt worried, nervous and exciting, and someone took out their phones to start recording.

The US warship was pressing the freighter about five or six hundred meters away from the freighter. The captain did not dare to oppose the US warship and slightly changed direction and headed towards the Benghazi port.

At this time, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the waves were three or four meters high, and the sky was rolling dark clouds.

Crack, a lightning flash passed by in the dark clouds!
