Chapter 1396: You Get What You Wish For
What’s going on?! How did the submarine get discovered?!

In a secret Japanese military base 200 nautical miles away, the commander was furiously roaring in the microphone.

Who leaked the location of our submarine?! When I find him, I’ll skin him alive!


How come the Chinese research fleet also has a submarine?! How did you guys collect the information?!


… Our submarines were hit by the enemy’s ballistic missiles launched by the submarine from the bottom of the sea. The time span was too short, so we didn’t have time to react…

With a gloomy expression, the director of the Secret Service Hideda Yamaguchi listened to his subordinates’ heated discussion. He knocked on the table in front of him and said coldly,
No need to argue. Just make the move. It seems that the enemy was prepared.


Make the move?! We have already lost the advantageous opportunity now!
The commander of the secret military base said reluctantly,
The difficulty has greatly increased. Do we have to intercept them?


Yes! Even if we have to pay a great price, we still have to intercept them! — Do you know what they took from us?! Do you know how much benefits the Imperial Japanese Empire would have gotten from what they seized?!

Hideda Yamaguchi pointed at the commander’s chest and approached him step by step with a ferocious expression. He said word by word,
I don’t care how much you have to pay, how many damaged ships you have, or how many injured people you have. I just want you to stop their fleet from leaving! Especially their research ships!


How difficult would that be for you? They only have a few ships, and you have the entire base! Yet you still can’t defeat them?!

The commander of the secret military base was flabbergasted. After a while, he said,
… But you also invited the pirates…


Yes, the pirates will fire the first shot. Then your people will take action. Those pirates are just rookies. Are you actually counting on them?
Hideda Yamaguchi withdrew his hand behind him his back, and he threatened,
… I think it seems like you don’t want to do it, don’t you? If you don’t want to do it, naturally there will be someone to take your place.

Since Hideda Yamaguchi had already laid that out on the table, if he didn’t want to be the commander, then he would probably have to be replaced as the commander of this secret military base.
Originally, this overseas secret military base was built with the strong support of the Secret Service. He didn’t know what kind of deal they had with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, but in short, they had the entire country’s financial support.

Yes!
He no longer refuted and agreed to Hideda Yamaguchi’s suggestion. He turned around and went to his command room to command the battle.
…
At this time, night had just fallen. The bright night sky still had remnants of the imposing smoke from moments before.
However, the soldiers of the scientific research fleet knew that a fierce battle was imminent.
The enemy’s submarine was ambushed, but the enemy didn’t retreat. Seven or eight warships formed an encirclement and moved forward little by little.

Report! Our destroyer has been locked on! Our destroyer has been locked on!

Huo Shaoheng glanced at Song Jinning, who was beside him.
Ms. Song, it’s up to you.


Magnetic interference, right?
Song Jinning nodded and smiled slyly.
Just you wait.

She had been working on the instrument beside Huo Shaoheng for a long time.
When the enemy used the electronic shield, they didn’t use the anti-electromagnetic shield because the distance between them was relatively small. Even if the electromagnetic shield was blocked, they could still communicate using the traditional way.
But now that the other party had locked onto our battleship and was about to make their ultimate move, they made their move.
Song Jinning calmly turned on the instrument and began to interfere with the magnetic field.

The magnetic field in this area is quite strange.
The corners of Song Jinning’s mouth twitched.
With my interference and amplifier, I’d like to see how powerful their technology is.

The danger caused by the magnetic field anomaly in the sea was much greater than the danger on land.
The Blue Planet’s notorious Bermuda Triangle was basically a graveyard for countless planes and ships. The biggest reason was because of the abnormal magnetic field there.
..
In less than a minute, all the instruments that were guiding the direction on the enemy ships failed.
When launching a missile, the navigation system was the most important component.
As soon as the magnetic field interference appeared, the other party’s guidance system was thrown into chaos. The missiles that were fired out couldn’t hit the target according to the established trajectory.
The lock-on status of their destroyer was immediately lifted.
However, unexpectedly, the other party still forcibly launched a ballistic missile!
However, the ballistic missile flew chaotically in the air like a hot molecule in Brownian motion.
Huo Shaoheng chuckled and looked out of the window with his arms crossed. He didn’t say anything.
The captain of the destroyer commanded the battle and immediately ordered,
Fire and intercept! Counterattack!

Of course the guidance system on their side was safe and sound. The accurately guided missile flew out with an error of no more than five meters.
In the vast sea, such a small error was negligible.
Soon, one of their ballistic missiles rose into the air and aimed at the other side’s missile in Brownian motion and crashed into it head-on!
At the same time, another ballistic missile arrived and dashed toward the other side’s cruiser, then accurately struck the weakest keel structure in the middle of the ship.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud sounds echoed in the dark sea.
The night sky’s scenery appeared even more dazzling than the explosions that had just erupted at the bottom of the sea.
The awe-inspiring scenery at that moment was not only so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off it, but also filled one’s chest with pride.
The enemy’s cruiser was cut in half in the midst of the loud bangs and flames. It sank to the bottom of the sea.
The people on the cruiser who weren’t killed by the explosion or burned to death fell into the sea. They were wearing life jackets and waving white flags as they cried for their parents.

Sir, do we need to capture them?
The captains of their warships asked Huo Shaoheng at the same time.
According to some so-called
international conventions
, when two armies fought, defeated soldiers who raised the white flag couldn’t continue to be pursued or killed.
Huo Shaoheng’s face was solemn, and he immediately instructed,
… the goal is to destroy the enemy’s remaining forces.

In other words, kill every single one of them!
Without hesitation, their battleship immediately fired upon those who had fallen into the water.
After defeating up the enemy’s cruiser and killing all the cruiser’s survivors in the sea, everyone’s morale was boosted!
During all these years, they never had such a gratifying battle!
The Somali pirates hired by the Japanese Secret Service saw that the situation wasn’t good and immediately ordered,
Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder now!

They raised their pirate flag to indicate that they weren’t on the same side as the Japanese warships.
Huo Shaoheng quickly received an inquiry.
Sir, do you want to fire on the Somali pirates’ ship?


Yes, of course we want to. And we want the trophy. Keep the ship but no one on it will be spared.
Huo Shaoheng ordered nonchalantly, and his heart skipped a beat.
Such a good excuse came right to his doorsteps.
He immediately sent the coordinates of the secret Japanese military base 200 nautical miles away and the important building targets he had detected from the Nandou satellite system to the commander of the nuclear submarine that was lurking at the bottom of the sea. He lied right through his teeth,
… This is a pirate base. Exterminate all of them and remove all obstacles for civilian merchant ships!

At the same time, he ordered the cruisers, destroyers, and anti-submarine patrol ships to attract the attention of the enemy warships and prevent them from returning.
After Huo Shaoheng gave the order, the submarine immediately moved forward.
10 nautical miles.
50 nautical miles.
100 nautical miles.
150 nautical miles.
Soon, they were only 50 nautical miles away from the enemy’s coordinates.
The commander on the nuclear submarine entered the data that Huo Shaoheng had given them into the ballistic missile database. Then, he activated the precision guidance system and aimed at the target on the shore.
This time, they were going to attack the ground facilities from the bottom of the sea. They were using the M-8 sea-to-ground missile.
This missile was equipped with a three-section thruster and had eight independent multiple re-entry vehicles. Each vehicle could carry a nuclear warhead with an equivalent of at least 200,000 tons. The range of the attack spanned 100 × 200 nautical miles.
Of course, Huo Shaoheng’s nuclear submarine didn’t carry a nuclear warhead this time, but a conventional warhead.
However, in modern naval warfare, the explosive power of a conventional warhead alone was already incredible.
Unlike the torpedoes used at the bottom of the sea, sea-to-surface missiles were launched from the bottom of the sea. However, they had to rush out of the sea, fly a certain distance above the atmosphere, and finally hit the target.
At this time, two sets of guidance systems had to be used alternately to aim at the target.
Huo Shaoheng was sweating profusely.
They really didn’t have much experience in fighting this kind of naval battle..
He would just treat this as the golden training opportunity for his troops!

Sir, everything is ready. Please give the order.

The commander on the nuclear submarine requested authorization from Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng picked up the microphone to issue the command. He said in a deep voice,
Target, the pirate base 50 nautical miles ahead of the submarine.
The objective is to protect and escort our research ship as well as uphold the rights of free passage granted by the International Maritime Convention. I authorize you to destroy the other party’s base and completely incapacitate them.


Yes, sir!

The commander on the nuclear submarine accepted the order and immediately instructed,
Target, the pirate base 50 nautical miles ahead of the submarine. The purpose: destroy the other party’s base and completely incapacitate them. Open fire!

As soon as he finished speaking, the first batch of M-8 sea-to-surface ballistic missiles whistled out of the seabed and rushed out of the sea. They rushed high into the sky, turned around elegantly, and dived toward the secret naval base that Japan had controlled for more than a decade.
Twelve large-yield conventional ballistic missiles rose into the air at the same time and dived together. Then, they exploded in twelve different areas of the secret military base at the same time!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire secret military base was instantly shrouded in mushroom clouds one after another!
The warships and submarines that were docked in the harbor were also hit by the missiles. Thick smoke billowed, and one ship after another capsized and was blown apart at the waist.
Although the people on the ships weren’t sleeping, but they were helpless against the missiles that suddenly fell from the sky. They couldn’t even find an excuse. They could only watch as the secret military base that they had controlled for more than ten years was destroyed just like that.

Go underground! Go underground!

The most precious thing in their secret military base wasn’t these warships and submarines, but their secret military laboratories.
Half of these laboratories were on the ground, and the other half were underground.
The laboratories on the ground were all destroyed, but the ones underground were still preserved.
Hideda Yamaguchi was shielded by a few people. He rushed out of a barrack that had just been destroyed. He looked back at the mess at the base and the scene of people running around hysterically. He stomped his feet and said sternly,
All of you stop right there! The Imperial Japanese Empire’s pride and dignity had been completely disgraced by all of you!
