    Long Zhengwu nodded, "Then, what you should do now is to contact the US military to organize a joint operation to recapture the warship. Instead of coming to us. We can't provide any help in this matter."

    Grace shook her head and said, "Mr. Long, I need you. These people know our operations very well, and they have spent a long time preparing and are very well prepared in all aspects. In view of the value of this new destroyer, we  We don¡¯t want to take extreme measures to destroy it. In fact, to destroy this ship with an integrated defense system, we may have to pay a high price.

    Compared with the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, the Zumwalt-class destroyers have three times more surface firepower and anti-ship missile capabilities, a 50-fold reduction in radar radiation, a 10-fold improvement in air defense capabilities, and offshore combat capabilities including mine-sweeping capabilities.  Improved 10 times.  Gentlemen, we have lost two fighter planes to this.  "

    "I have a strange idea. They are not professionals. How did they get this ship out? To drive a destroyer and be able to exert its combat effectiveness, at least several hundred people are needed." Lin Rui frowned.

    "That's another reason we need you. It's hard to say, but there are indications that personnel aboard the Zumwalt-class destroyer were involved in their hijackings. Part of the crew on the ship was shot and killed in the dock, and another part of the crew was  Cooperating with the secret society's armed forces to hijack the ship. This is a shame in the history of the Royal Navy." Grace whispered.

    "They have insiders on the ship, and there should be quite a few of them." Long Zhengwu frowned, "No wonder they were able to successfully complete the hijacking. This is surprisingly similar to the last attack on the US military base. Last time, the entire Delta Company rebelled collectively.  , this time the British Navy.¡±

    "Yes, I don't know why. There were at least a hundred people on board, all of them defected. What's even more frightening is that they had received combat training from Zumwalt-class destroyers. After the incident, we dispatched fighter planes. On the one hand,  To track them down, but also to communicate with them in the hope that they can come back.¡±

    "But their reply was to destroy those two fighter planes." Long Zhengwu shrugged.

    "Yes." Grace whispered.  "So at least at this stage, we don't even know who to trust anymore."

    "As I said last time, there are their people in the British Naval Special Forces, as well as the Special Air Service Regiment that you are proud of." Lin Rui shook his head.

    "Then what can we help you with?" Long Zhengwu looked at Grace and asked.

    Grace whispered, "Help us take back the ship."

    "I'm afraid you think too highly of me, madam." Long Zhengwu shrugged, "We are just mercenaries. We can resolve small-scale conflicts and even fight some very small-scale wars. Well, actually we also have certain capabilities.  Naval warfare capabilities, of course, are within the scope of Africa.

    But dealing with a state-of-the-art destroyer armed to the teeth is not what our few shabby armed civilian ships can do.  This isn't the seventeenth century, and I'm not a privateer.  To be honest, I can defeat pirates just by relying on my few armed civilian ships with welded iron plates.  "

    Grace nodded, "We have never thought of attacking the Zumwalt-class destroyer in this way. In a regular naval battle, unless we have to mobilize the entire fleet of ships, we will have to take certain risks. But we can  Use your best method to solve the problem. Send your squad to infiltrate and board the ship with armed force. Take back control of the ship from the hands of the secret society."

    "Do you think it's possible? I've heard of this ship. It has a strong attack capability. The advanced naval gun can rely on the satellite positioning system to launch 600 long-range ground attack shells in 30 minutes. In addition, it has 80  The launcher can launch Tomahawk missiles and other types of missiles, which makes it even more powerful. We can't get close at all and will be broken into pieces." Long Zhengwu shook his head.

    "But with the help of the British Navy, things will be simpler." Grace whispered, "We will use submarines to quietly transport you nearby, and then send you out from the torpedo tube. They have strong anti-submarine weapons  capability, but it is difficult to identify a frogman's surprise attack. Because the frogman is a target with extremely low noise, the target's ability to reflect sound waves is also relatively low."

    "Could it be that this ship doesn't have anti-frogman sonar?" Long Zhengwu frowned.

    In modern times, with the continuous invention of underwater breathing equipment and underwater explosive weapons, the combat effectiveness of combat frogmen has achieved rapid development. During World War II, Italian frogmen claimed to have achieved brilliant results in sinking two enemy battleships.  In modern warfare, frogmen are an important means for the weak side to gain asymmetric advantages. The navies of various countries, whether they are naval powers or not, are vigorously developing frogman special forces.

    Therefore, as a naval power,?There is a great military need for how to counteract frogman attacks. The primary military need in this regard is how to know when frogmen are approaching.  As the first useful means of underwater detection, sonar has also developed many anti-frogman series.

    The United States has always been a leader in this regard, because they suffered enough from Vietnamese frogmen during the Vietnam War.  Therefore, it is impossible for such a new destroyer, which claims to have assembled all advanced technologies, not to have such equipment.

    Grace nodded, "Indeed, but you also know that this ship is currently in the testing stage. It uses a super-sensitive sonar set, but one of the sonar sets used for anti-frogmen is currently being repaired and debugged.  , the installation was not completed. So that was the Achilles heel of the ship and our only chance."

    "That means the boat can't prevent the underwater frogmen from attacking?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "Yes. If you are careful enough not to make too much noise underwater, it is entirely possible to avoid their sonar system. Because their accurate sonar set is missing a link. And if you board that ship  , then the situation becomes much simpler. I know you are experts in infiltration raids." Grace said slowly.

    Long Zhengwu nodded after hearing this, "It seems somewhat possible, but this task is too difficult. From underwater infiltration, to boarding operations, to complete control of the ship. None of this is as easy as it sounds."

    "I understand what you mean. So we have prepared a high reward for you." Grace said, "Because there is no room for error in this matter. It is very likely that the people from the secret society will transport this ship to a certain place and then break it down."  For sale. Since this ship involves a variety of cutting-edge high-tech technologies, many countries will flock to it. Their bids may even exceed the US$3.3 billion cost of the entire ship."
