Chapter 1857 Battle of the North Sea (3)

Therefore, the Five Elders simply ordered their officials and navy to speed up the exploration of the Calm Belt so that they could understand the situation there as soon as possible.

However, it was precisely because of this negligence of the Five Elders that the World Government ultimately missed the last great opportunity to stop the Rockefeller Kingdom.

This seemingly insignificant decision inadvertently changed the direction of the entire world, triggered a series of chain reactions, and brought great turmoil and change to the world.

In that vast and boundless doldrum sea, thousands of sails are competing and hundreds of boats are vying for the current.

At first glance, the endless sea ships are like steel giants, sailing majestically on the sea. The scene is extremely spectacular.

The roar of the internal combustion engine rose and fell, like thunder, resounding across the entire sea.

Suddenly, a striking red dot on the radar screen in the captain's room caught the captain's attention.

The red dot was approaching the fleet at an astonishing speed.

"A sea king species has been spotted approaching, no smaller than a kilometer in size!"

The radar operator reported nervously.

The captain's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and decisively gave the order: "Drive them away!"

After the order was issued, the leading warship took immediate action.

The crew on the warship quickly dropped the sonar equipment into the seabed. As the button was pressed, the sonar's ultrasonic wave suddenly burst out on the seabed like an invisible shock wave.

The buzzing sound was deafening, and the ultrasonic waves spread across the seabed at an extremely fast speed. Wherever they passed, the sea water seemed to be stirred up.

At this moment, the sea king that was approaching the fleet was covered by the ultrasonic waves emitted by the sonar. Its huge body instantly seemed to be hit by an invisible force and began to tremble violently.

The next second, something surprising happened.

The over-a-kilometer-long body began to twist wildly on the seabed, as if it was suffering from great pain and anxiety.

However, this sea king didn't hold out for long. After a brief struggle, it suddenly seemed to realize something and turned around and left without hesitation. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The captain on the sea stared at the red dot on the radar, watched it quickly move away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The sonar developed by the Imperial Science Department is truly not to be underestimated. A ball less than a meter in size emits sound waves capable of shocking back sea monsters over a thousand meters away. From now on, the ocean will no longer be able to stop human exploration!"

The captain sighed.

The power of technology is so strong that this small sonar ball seems to contain endless energy.

The sound waves it released were as powerful as thunder, easily repelling those huge and ferocious sea kings.

This gave the captain a new understanding of the power of technology and made him full of expectations for the future.

"Keep going, we have to reach the port before tomorrow morning!"

The captain gave the order, his voice revealing a firmness and determination.

Then he walked out of the captain's room and went to inspect.

"Yes!"

The operator responded in a crisp and clear voice.

He did not dare to be careless at all and stared at the control panel intently to ensure the safe navigation of the ship.

After all, this is the Doldrums, a place full of unknowns and dangers.

People's fear of the doldrums has a long history. Even though the Rockefeller Kingdom has made major breakthroughs in technology, allowing ships to sail safely in the doldrums, the long-standing prejudice and fear cannot be easily eliminated in a short period of time.

This fleet is extremely large. At first glance, there are more than a hundred ships!

These ships were lined up neatly on the sea, like a huge naval army.

In this fleet, there are ten particularly eye-catching warships. They are majestic and powerful, as if they are the overlords of this sea area.

These warships are not only well-equipped, but also have well-trained crews who are responsible for protecting the safety of the entire fleet.

The other hundred or so ships are transport ships. Although they are not as majestic as warships, they carry an important mission - transporting large numbers of soldiers and supplies.

The holds of these transport ships were filled with various weapons, food, and other necessities, fully prepared for the upcoming battle.

In the cabin of one of the transport ships, the light was dim and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

There were several simple beds in the cabin, and two young soldiers were lying on them, talking in low voices.

"The war is about to begin..."

One of the soldiers muttered, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something.

"For all these years, we have been hidden in the shadows, unknown to the world, just for this moment. I just don't know who our enemy will be this time."

On the other side of the bed, another young soldier chimed in, "This is the Calm Belt. Commander, you brought us here. Can't you see? The King is planning to attack the North Sea from the Calm Belt! We are the vanguard of this operation!"

"The North Sea? Is the King going to conquer the North Sea this time?"

There was a trace of confusion on the face of the first soldier. He obviously had no idea about the purpose of this war and just blindly followed the orders of his superiors.

"Don't overthink it, brother! We are all citizens adopted by the Empire! Without the Empire's careful cultivation, we might have starved to death in some unknown corner. Now that the Empire needs us, of course we must rush forward without hesitation! And look at us, with the powerful strength of our Rockefeller Kingdom, how could those small forces in the North Sea possibly be our opponents? I think, with just a little effort, we can firmly plant our flag on the land of the North Sea!"

The companion patted the young man's shoulder and comforted him confidently.

As he said this, his companion's eyes flashed with an eager desire for merit, as if he had already seen himself winning a great victory on the battlefield, without any fear of the impending war.

The young man felt a little relieved after hearing his friend's words, but he still said with some worry, "I hope so..."

This vanguard force consisted of 100,000 people, most of whom were children adopted by the Rockefeller Kingdom.

In the four or five years after being adopted, these children received rigorous training and upbringing, and when they grew up, they naturally joined the navy of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

Although the New World has been unified by the Rockefeller Kingdom, the time of unification is too short and many problems have not been completely solved.
