In the Sulawei Sea, a long march surface emerged from the water. The communication antenna stretched out and sent a message to the communication satellite, and also copied it to the long-wave radio station on the Forgotten Reef. After quickly completing the sending work, the big black fish suddenly pressed its head down and made an emergency dive.
In the distance, the waves are rolling.
The encrypted information was transmitted back to the land-based receiving station through the communication satellite, and was received by the Submarine Command almost at the same time. After the information was interpreted, it was quickly reported to the relevant parties.
In the second communications room in the basement of the Forgotten Reef airport tower, the pale-faced staff officer on duty frowned and stared at the correspondent. The correspondent who was translating the intelligence was Second Sergeant Major Zhao Chengqian. When he was in the new company, he was a comrade in the same class as Zhong Guobang, who was at the regimental level. He was the oldest noncommissioned officer in the Selfless Reef unit and one of the longest serving soldiers.
On this island and reef, only this old sergeant could play the long-wave radio station, which was rarely used a few times a year. It's not that no one knows how to operate it, but the only one who knows the code book is Zhao Chengqian. Zhong Guobang and Xue Zhengrong, the two military chiefs on the islands and reefs, could not translate even a single punctuation mark.
Even if Changwave Radio only receives information once in a whole year, it cannot do without Zhao Chengqian.
This short old petty officer was once a sonar operator on a submarine. After switching from sea service to land service, he has been working in a communication station. After the long-wave radio station was deployed on the Forgotten Reef, he volunteered to work there and decided to dedicate his final military career to the islands and reefs at the southern tip of the motherland.
The Changwave Radio Station, which had been silent for a long time, received the intelligence. The staff officer on duty, who had never encountered such a situation before, was very nervous and did not dare to swallow loudly for fear of affecting the senior squad leader Zhao Chengqian who was nervously translating the intelligence.
Where is the codebook? In Zhao Chengqian's mind, he is the living codebook.
Today, when military communication technology is so advanced, code books are still used?
Sometimes the oldest ways are the most secretive. The codebook formed after encryption using modern cryptography is not stored in electronic devices but relies on people's super memory to write it all down. Unless the person speaks, it will never be deciphered.
Because he had been underground for a long time, the staff officer on duty had a very fair complexion. Compared with the officers and soldiers above who were as dark as Africans, they looked like pale faces. The same is true for Zhao Chengqian. His long-term underwater life has made his skin look sickly white, even though he has been away from the submarine for a long time.
Zhao Chengqian did not ask the staff officer on duty to recuse himself because the information he was receiving was not classified, which meant that anyone could and must know the information. Therefore, after completing the first translation, he asked the staff officer on duty to come in.
"Xiao Chen, don't be nervous, it's not military intelligence." Zhao Chengqian said with a smile.
Xiao Chen, the staff officer on duty, smiled stiffly and swallowed hard. He was a newly graduated officer. After being assigned to the Forgotten Reef, he was in a bad mood. It was Zhao Chengqian who guided him to correct his attitude and persevere. It has been more than a year, and the idea of wanting to transfer back is not as strong as before.
However, encountering long-wave radio intelligence for the first time still made him nervous.
Any fool knows where the long-wave radio station receives information from. All fools know that the long-wave radio station on the Forgotten Reef mainly receives information from the depths of the ocean. In order to maintain the operation of long-wave radio stations, the resources invested can support a land-based radar station.
I don’t even know what kind of long wave radio station it is, but I don’t dare to ask.
Not long after, Zhao Chengqian handed the translated message to Staff Chen, "Notify Captain Xue immediately."
"yes!"
Staff Chen took the telegram and rushed out, reading it as he ran.
Suddenly, he stopped suddenly and almost hit the guardrail of the stairs.
"Tsunami?"
A completely unexpected piece of non-military intelligence.
In an instant, his adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and he ran to the ground at an unprecedented speed. When he saw the two soldiers heading towards each other, he asked, "Where is Xue Da?"
"In the dining hall."
It's breakfast time now.
Staff Chen completely forgot that it was time for breakfast and ran towards the canteen. Two people and three people came out of the canteen in a row. The officers and soldiers followed Staff Chen in surprise, and they all thought to themselves, is something serious going on?
Relatively speaking, life on the islands is slow. The troops are still troops, but the pace of daily life has slowed down, and everyone's mentality is relatively relaxed. Such a running figure can only be seen during physical training.
Staff Officer Chen rushed into the dining hall and looked up to see Xue Zhengrong discussing with several pilots while eating at the brigade cadre table.
"Xue Da!" Staff Chen rushed over and shouted.
Everyone looked over.
Li Hai and others looked at Staff Chen suspiciously. Li Hai had already noticed the hurried Staff Officer Chen. He had never seen Staff Officer Chen before, so he didn't know where the lieutenant came from. Li Hai didn't even know there was a second communications room. Naturally the same goes for the other newcomers.
"Xue Da, urgent news about the Long March!" Staff Chen was very excited and said in a low voice, handing over the message.
Xue Zhengrong stood up subconsciously, picked up the message and walked aside.
However, all messages sent by the "Long March" and "Long March" have an unquestionable absolute priority, especially those sent by the "Long March".
Everyone in the navy knows that if a unit does not move, it will be a big deal. The officers and soldiers of the entire army know that when all the troops are shouting "Use me in the first battle, you will win if you use me", only one troop cannot shout. Because once they fight for the first time, it means that the earth has entered a countdown to destruction.
There are so many types of units in the army, and the one with the highest level of confidentiality is the submarine unit. The most mysterious unit among the submarine units, which shoots them with guns when they get close to taking pictures, is the nuclear submarine unit.
For a moment, Xue Zhengrong thought something big had happened. Long March boats rarely contact the Forgotten Reef. Xue Zhengrong has never encountered it. According to Zhong Guobang, he has only encountered it twice in more than ten years of service on the island and reef.
When he read the contents of the message, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, his heart suddenly tightened again.
"Lehi!"
"arrive!"
Li Hai quickly put down his chopsticks and ran over.
Xue Zhengrong handed over the telegram and said in a deep voice, "The sea conditions in the Sulawei Sea are abnormal. Big Black Fish has judged that there has been crustal movement, and an earthquake is very likely to occur. The Sulawei Sea is an offshore sea, and if an earthquake occurs, a tsunami is bound to occur. Pull it forward. , assemble the troops!”
"yes!"
Li Hai didn't have time to recall the special format and content of the message, let alone ask what the "big black fish" was. He took out his whistle and blew the emergency rally call!
The officers and soldiers who were still dining in the canteen threw away their chopsticks, steamed buns, and rice bowls without hesitation and rushed out. Just a few seconds later, the airport siren rang.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhan! Get ready for takeoff!" Li Hai shouted to Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian.
"yes!"
Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian rushed out. They were the main force in air rescue.
