Chapter 845 - Shenlong (1/2)
While the Mutants were attacked by the Supreme Androids, the American Naval fleet was not left out.
Jiang Fei had informed Qin Tian once, he could help to support his soldiers but at the risk of deserting the alien artifact. Qin Tian could not allow his Android soldiers to lose, nor could he allow anyone else to claim that alien artifact. Hence, after the call with Jiang Fei, Qin Tian got to work immediately and contacted the Special Navy Force.
The Special Navy Force was the small squadron that consisted of a small team of soldiers operating the alien weapons that Jiang Fei had made for them. The crew that made up the Special Navy Force was not for Qin Tian to command, but since Qin Tian himself was once a member, he had strings that he could pull.
”Brother Nie, I need your help!” Qin Tian pleaded the commander-in-chief, Nie Shilong. He was once Qin Tian's subordinate; hence, the two had a close relationship.
”I wish I could, but I need authorization!” said Nie Shilong. Even though he was in charge of the Special Navy Force, he needed the authorization to act. There was no way he could attack the Americans without the government sanction.
”The situation is dire! There's no time to ask for permission! If the Americans take away the alien artifact, we will be losing more than this war!” said Qin Tian, pleading Nie Shilong to understand his situation.
”We don't have enough power to spare! If we resurface, it will cost too much power!”
The Special Navy Force had already mustered enough weapons to attack. However, during training, they had spent too much power. The Energy Crystal that Jiang Fei had given them had very little power left in them.
”I don't care if you can't destroy the entire American Naval fleet, just chase away the 7th Fleet and I'll owe you for life!” cried Qin Tian.
”Fine. I'll send in the Shenlong to help you suppress the 7th Fleet!” said Nie Shilong as he gave into Qin Tian's plea and decided to spare the least amount of effort and energy.
Nie Shilong could not say no to his close friend, Qin Tian. On the other hand, the alien artifact was important, not just to China's interest, but to the safety of its people. He could not allow it to fall into the hands of the Americans. In the end, even though he did not have proper authorization from the higher-ups, he had mobilized the submarine Shenlong to push back the 7th Fleet in an attempt to prevent them from docking in Japan.
The best way to send help was to use the submarine, Shenlong instead of the aircraft carrier. Using the aircraft carrier was too flashy and costly, in terms of power source. Submarines were better for unsanctioned operation! Not to mention the cost of operating it. Even though it was just a submarine, the hyper-advanced submarine would easily push back an entire fleet of ships.
Once the order was received, the small submarine descended deeper into the ocean and sailed toward the outermost formation of the American Naval fleet, pass the 3rd Fleet and toward the 7th Fleet.
Shenlong was a small submarine, measuring at about thirty meters long. Compared to other submarines in the world, the hyper-advanced submarine could outgun the Earthly-based submarine by several notches.
