The southern sea has been China's territorial waters since ancient times. However, because China has been weak in modern times, many small countries have invaded and occupied China's islands, reefs and territorial waters under the instigation of a certain empire in order to strangle China's sea routes and strangle China's road to great rejuvenation. . Therefore, every once in a while, the fleet of that empire will patrol the southern seas. On the surface, it is to declare freedom of navigation, but in fact it is a provocation.
If warships from other countries entered its territorial waters, they would probably open fire long ago. But when it was its turn, it had a set of double standards. It seems to have accepted China's idea of a peaceful rise and will not declare war with it, so its warships will brazenly show off its power in the southern waters.
This time it was the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier of the Seventh Fleet, along with two destroyers and two cruisers. This is not the strongest lineup of the Seventh Fleet, but it still has a strong deterrent effect.
In the bridge of the USS Reagan, Commander Rosm of the Seventh Fleet looked at the sea ahead with a telescope. He had just taken over the position of his predecessor Joseph, who was unlucky enough to be fired by the Pentagon due to several ship collisions. Fortunately, he became the new commander of the Seventh Fleet.
"General, we are already in China's waters, do we still want to move forward?" an officer said.
Rosm said: "Is this China's sea area? I think this is a disputed sea area, and we have the right to freedom of navigation in this sea area."
"General! We received a call from the Chinese Border Defense Navy. They are warning us!" An officer in charge of communications came to Rosm with a telegram.
Rosm didn't even look at it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let them protest, they won't fire on us anyway." After a pause, he said again: "I order, Continue sailing. We ignore anyone’s protests and warnings, we only obey the orders of Mr. President and the Pentagon, and we will maintain our current sailing until there is no order for us to retreat.”
"Yes!" There was a response from the bridge of the Reagan accepting the order.
Rosm raised the telescope in his hand again, and suddenly his head poked forward. This is an instinctive body movement to get closer and see more clearly. But before he could see clearly again, or believe what he saw, the bridge became a mess.
"Oh God!" a radar soldier exclaimed: "A man... a man is coming towards us!"
"He's walking on the sea! He didn't sink!"
"Hallucination! This must be a hallucination!"
What Rosm saw was a man walking on the sea towards the USS Ronald Reagan. The man's steps were normal, like walking on the road, but every step he took was a long distance!
Soon, the image of the man walking on the sea was transmitted to a display screen in the bridge through the Global Hawk in the sky.
This person is none other than Xia Lei, who left the artificial island to "find trouble." He has a tall and well-proportioned figure, fair and delicate skin, and a sunny and handsome face. In fact, he doesn't look like a god or a hero with super powers at all, but he actually enjoys being a movie star who relies on his reputation to make a living.
But just such a person who "lives on his face" approached the Seventh Fleet in the blink of an eye.
"It's him!" Someone suddenly exclaimed: "I just saw his video on the Internet. He is Xia Lei, the chairman of Leima Group! Isn't he in the earthquake-stricken area of Yilan? How did he come here? This Impossible! Even if we build a plane, there is no way he can fly here!"
"General? What should we do?" an officer asked.
Rosm suddenly shouted: "No matter who he is, he is an enemy who enters our safe area! Fire!"
Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump…
The five battleships, including the Reagan, all fired their cannons at Xia Lei on the sea, and a rain of fire instantly erupted under the clear night sky. One after another, the machine gun shells drew burning trajectories and flew towards Xia Lei.
Xia Lei was hit, but he was still walking on the sea. The machine gun shells that rained down on him were broken into ashes before they hit him, and fell into the undulating sea water. Not to mention killing and wounding him, so many shells didn't even tear his clothes apart!
"Oh my God! What is he?"
"People on the Internet say he is a god. Is he really a god?"
"Are we fighting a god?"
"Isn't he a new character from Marvel or DC?"
There was a chaotic sound in the bridge.
Rosm said angrily: "Shut up! How can there be a god in this world? That must be the secret weapon of the Chinese military! They want to use phantoms to confuse us and make us go back!"
Xia Lei, who was walking on the sea, suddenly swayed and disappeared. Neither the fleet's own surveillance system nor the Global Hawk flying in the sky could capture his presence.
The aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan suddenly fell silent, and the tense atmosphere spread throughout everyone's body.
After a few seconds Rosm broke the silence, "Did you see it? It's really a hallucination!"
As soon as his voice fell, the void in the bridge suddenly trembled, and a figure appeared out of thin air on the bridge of the Reagan aircraft carrier.
"Ah—" Rosm screamed and retreated in panic. As a result, he collided with a black officer beside him and fell to the ground together.
The bridge suddenly became a mess. Some people drew their guns and some looked for cover.
Bang bang bang!
An officer fired quickly at Xia Lei, and all the bullets hit Xia Lei's body. A magazine was emptied by him in three seconds. But Xia Lei was still standing there without a single bullet hole in his clothes.
The bridge was deathly silent, and fear tortured every nerve of everyone here.
Xia Lei just stood and didn't attack anyone.
Rosm got up from the ground, "You... don't mess around! This is the USS Reagan aircraft carrier of the Seventh Fleet, which represents the white house and the Pentagon. Once you take action, it means the two countries declare war!"
Xia Lei's eyes moved to Rosm's body, and his mouth suddenly widened, as if he wanted to eat.
Rosm hurriedly stepped back and almost fell to the ground again.
Xia Lei then spoke out, using English, "Who am I? Who am I..."
The people on the bridge looked at each other.
Xia Lei looked around, scanning the faces, "Who am I? Who am I... I'm in so much pain, I don't know who I am, I don't remember anything... "
Rosim suddenly said: "I know who you are!"
Xia Lei looked at Rosm again, "Who am I?"
Rosm said: "You are a U.S. citizen, you live in Houston, Texas, you are a soldier of the Seventh Fleet, you are a brave warrior! Your name, your name is Joseph!"
Xia Lei said to himself, "Am I named Joseph? Do I live in Houston, Texas?"
Rosm followed and said: "Yes, yes, I have been to your home once, and you have a beautiful wife. Just calm down, how about I take you home?"
Xia Lei showed a smile, "Will you take me home?"
Rosm nodded, "Of course, I swear, I will take you home."
Xia Lei said: "Then let's go home now and take me to Houston."
Rosm said: "We are on the way to Houston now, don't worry, we will be home soon."
Xia Lei said: "This is too slow. How about we fly back?"
Rosm said: "Are you kidding? We are on the USS Ronald Reagan and we have to go back from the sea."
Xia Lei said: "Aircraft carriers can also fly."
Rosm was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Aircraft carriers can also fly. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life."
The atmosphere on the bridge became more relaxed. After all, Xia Lei looked silly and didn't attack anyone. He didn't seem dangerous at all.
Rosm said to the black officer beside him: "Go out, call Mr. President, tell them we caught a big fish, and ask them to be ready to pick him up."
The black officer nodded and then walked cautiously toward a door.
At this time, Xia Lei also smiled, "So my name is Joseph, what is my wife's name? Is she beautiful?"
Rosm smiled and said: "Your wife's name is Caitlin. She has long golden hair and blue eyes. I swear, your wife is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
"I want to see her now! Haha, it turns out I have a wife!" Xia Lei looked very excited.
Rosm said: "Can I ask your wife to call you now?"
Xia Lei said: "No, I want to go home immediately, I want to give her a surprise! Let's go!"
A piece of golden light was suddenly released from his body. After that, the Reagan aircraft carrier suddenly trembled violently, and then flew up from the sea!
It was not only the USS Reagan that flew up, but also the two destroyers and cruisers that were escorting it!
"Oh, God!"
"Help!"
Such sounds were everywhere among several battleships.
Several warships left the sea and plunged into an energy channel. There was almost no sense of time flowing, and several battleships came to a halt. Not on a certain sea, but in a desert.
Yes, desert.
People standing on the bridge of the USS Reagan can see endless stretches of brown sand through the bridge windows.
"Report! We... we..." An officer broke the eerie silence in the bridge with a trembling voice, "The satellite positioning shows... shows... that we are now in northern Africa... in the center of the Sahara Desert!"
Several people fainted.
Xia Lei said to himself, "Who am I? Who am I... I don't remember anything..." He muttered and walked towards a door.
Rosm suddenly came back to his senses, "Joseph! You are mistaken, your home is in Houston! It is not the Sahara Desert! Please take us back."
Xia Lei didn't seem to hear his voice, and disappeared in a flash.
"Hello! Hello?" Rosm's voice echoed in the center of the Sahara Desert, "What the hell is going on? How do we go back!"
How an aircraft carrier fleet can get out of the Sahara Desert is really a problem.
