Chapter 713: Reconnaissance missions in the Middle East

,

While Chen Xin was thinking about whether he could build himself a land cruiser as his "special vehicle", the land cruiser sent by the military to the Middle East for reconnaissance had already arrived at its destination.

Unlike the domestic situation, the Middle East is still in the dark, just like Europe.

This provides a good cover for the reconnaissance mission of the land cruiser, and at the same time adds a certain degree of difficulty to the mission.

After all, in the daytime, optical detection can see the required information intuitively, and in the dark environment, it needs the assistance of various instruments and equipment.

Fortunately, this land cruiser is a special type of reconnaissance, not only equipped with a large number of instruments and equipment, but also equipped with reconnaissance aircraft and reconnaissance drones on board.

Those on board responsible for carrying out this reconnaissance mission are also elites in the military. With the cooperation of the two, the mission can be said to proceed smoothly.

However, the Middle East is still so big in the end. Although the land cruiser released reconnaissance drones after entering the range of the Middle East and began a large-scale search, they wanted to investigate the entire Middle East with only one ship. It will take some time.

"Captain, I suggest that we should change the method of investigation and go directly to the Mediterranean coast to conduct investigations instead of the current dragnet-style investigation. This is too inefficient." Inside the bridge, a staff officer accompanying the ship approached the ship. The long made his own suggestions.

The captain did not immediately agree to the adviser’s suggestion. Instead, he thought about it for a while before he said: “It’s true that going straight to the Mediterranean can save time, but our task is to figure out the overall situation in the Middle East and figure out what’s going on. Whether asteroids have launched a large-scale invasion of the Middle East requires a full investigation.

And if we go straight into the Mediterranean, we are just a reconnaissance ship with limited armaments. If we encounter alien creatures, we may encounter danger. It is better to be safe. "

As a captain, he must be responsible for all people on and off the ship, and at the same time, he must ensure that he completes his mission and tasks, and he must act cautiously.

Although it is not impossible to take risks, he must comprehensively consider the proportional balance between the risks to be taken and the possible gains, rather than recklessly.

Hearing that the captain said that he wanted to pursue security, the staff did not object to it. His duty was only to put forward his own suggestions and help the captain find out and fill vacancies, instead of interfering in the captain's decision when the captain did not make obvious mistakes.

Therefore, seeing that the captain did not agree with his suggestion, the staff officer just frowned and said: "But our current investigation method is too inefficient! It has been such a carpet search, and it is really hard to investigate the entire Middle East. too big."

Speaking of this, the staff officer did not forget to add: "Our reconnaissance ship is nuclear-powered, but the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft we carry still burn heavy oil. For such large-scale reconnaissance every day, the fuel consumption is very fast. !"

The staff officer mentioned the fuel consumption problem, causing the captain to frown slightly and ask the chief mate on the side: "How much fuel do we have left?"

"When we came out, we brought a total of 20 tons of heavy fuel oil. So far, it has consumed almost 30%." The chief officer answered the captain’s question and reminded the captain: “But so far, we The scanned area only accounts for 17% of the entire Middle East, and they are all located in the Iranian plateau.

Considering the purpose of our reconnaissance mission, I also suggest that the ship go forward to the Mesopotamian plains, and then conduct targeted investigations in the Red Sea and the Aleppo region of Syria, which is more carpet-like than our current search. To be more effective. "

The chief mate’s remarks are actually a kind of support for the staff’s suggestion, but the reasons and suggestions he gave are more comprehensive and safer than the staff’s previous suggestions. Therefore, the captain adopted the chief mate’s after some consideration. Suggestion: "In this case, we will go out of the Mesopotamia and proceed to the position of Babylon. If there are still people in the area, we can also find out the situation."

"Locals? It's unlikely that there will be locals alive, right?" The staff on the side obviously didn't report any expectations.

During this period of time, they searched most of the Iranian plateau in a carpet style. Of course, the areas with cities were the focus of the search, but obviously all the cities were empty.

It's not surprising that there are such results. After all, this area has been war and chaos for many years. Although the people's livelihood is not dying, it is not an economically developed area.

Although several oil-producing countries have money, the money is mainly concentrated in the hands of the royal family and high-level people of various countries. The gap between the living standards of the people at the bottom and the rich is staggering.

In the face of global disasters, how much capacity such a country can have to deal with is really a difficult question to answer.

There is no problem for the rich to survive, but ordinary people may not even be able to resist the initial disaster.

Moreover, in this area, from fresh water to food, these basic living materials are basically in short supply. Before, it was nothing to have money to import. Now, where do they import from?

After a few years, even if there are survivors, they are among the few lucky ones.

"Let's take a look anyway, Babylon is one of the oldest cities on this land, and it is also the capital of a country. It shouldn't even have a living person." The captain shook his head. Although he didn't expect much, he decided to check it out.

After all, in his opinion, although the environment in the Middle East is harsh, the temperature is not as low as in China. After all, it is a tropical area, and there should be some people who can survive.

The captain made a decision, and the staff officer and chief mate had no other opinion, so the reconnaissance ship began to adjust its course and headed towards the city of Babylon.

At the same time, the released unmanned reconnaissance aircraft also changed the flight route and the direction of the investigation.

"Speaking of which, do you think the Red Sea or Aleppo, which place will be the focus of alien invasion?" After giving the order to adjust the course, the captain looked at the map in front of him, and suddenly asked the first officer and staff officer a new one. problem.

Regarding this question, the staff member thought for a while and said: “I think it’s Aleppo. The Arabian Plateau is highland on the side close to the Red Sea. From a topographical point of view, it is not suitable for large-scale military offensives. The entire Middle East can be said to be Surrounded by mountains, the only flat land is the Mesopotamian plain, and the Aleppo area is the only “gap” in the Mesopotamian plain facing the Mediterranean. If you want to go from the Mediterranean The Middle East invasion, this place is most suitable for attack."
