What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 338 Sea Wolf Log
"I think that perhaps decades ago, a huge amount of manpower could have been used to build a complete polar region in some hidden place—such as Antarctica. But if we want to maintain the development of technology, we need a considerable number of elites and talents."

If we weren't constantly recruiting from Hans, then I think cloning existing elites would be a very reasonable option.

Victor pointed to the room full of corpses:

“Soldiers will not die out of fear of war, but it is a waste to let them just waste their time causing trouble for us. I do not believe that they can recklessly deplete the natural birth rate.”

Seeing that York was still hesitant, Victor organized a DNA comparison of those suspected relatives, and progress was made quickly.

However, the result clearly disappointed Victor:
Although most sailors are not brothers or fathers and sons, they are indeed related by blood, and almost all of them come from a specific genetic lineage.

Considering this is data from over 200 samples, their ancestors were likely the same few people or even just one person.

After obtaining conclusive results, the cloning theory collapsed on its own, and York said somewhat uncertainly:
"So, the vast majority of people in the Second Fleet are from interracial marriages? That's more likely a case of brainwashing and idiocy."

Victor: "But you can send a bunch of mentally challenged children into battle... Shit."

He was clearly thinking of something bad, and York also looked strange.

Old Mi certainly has a lot of experience with this, especially since Forrest Gump was released a couple of years ago and many people have seen it.

Victor could only remain silent, while York continued:
"Some IAA agents have successfully gained the trust of those submarines, and perhaps soon we will be able to find their hideouts or transit points."

In the meantime, I'll have them try to capture a few people alive; that will require your help.

"Oh, then you'd better not inject him with too much interrogation agent first, otherwise he'll be no different from these dead people."

York's secure phone suddenly rang. After answering it, his expression changed drastically, and he stared blankly into the empty space with wide eyes.

"Damn it, the Seawolf has been sunk!"

...[SSN-21 Operation Log; April 4.12:]
[Time-11.15: Diving depth 15 meters, speed 20 knots]
[Duty Officer (Hunter Lawrence): Helicopter triangulation detected three sources, numbered A, B, and C according to their distance. Target C is ascending and is being broadcast over the radio, approximately 25 to 35 miles from the 11 o'clock direction.]
[First Mate (Theodore Kerry): Targets A and B are both more than 70 miles away. Target C is very likely the U-boat that attacked the Clover.]
[Duty Officer: Hey, I heard there's more to this than meets the eye]
[Captain (Eric Doyle): Hunter!]
[Duty Officer: Sorry, Captain, Calvin wants us to pursue. The Enterprise has one helicopter already taken off, and another EA-6B is waiting to take off; they might arrive at the same time as us.]
[First Mate: Seawolf is in good condition; we can continue at full speed for this distance]
[Captain: We cannot let the perpetrator escape. Retract the antenna, confirm the location, and dive to 80 meters at a speed of 35 knots.]
[Executive: The helicopter wasn't carrying any torpedoes! Hooray! We're finally about to make our debut!]
[Duty Officer: All 8 MK48 rounds are in good condition. I'll go check them again.]
[Time-11.32: Diving depth 79 meters, speed 34.8 knots]
[Destination C Distance: 11.32 miles]
[——]
[Time-12.04: Diving depth 79 meters, speed 34.8 knots]
[Duty Officer: Water surface reflection detected, 15-17 kilometers from 1 o'clock!]
[Captain: Maintain course, all ships silent!]
[Executive: I suggest activating active sonar; Target C has entered the no-escape zone.]
[Captain: Authorization granted in 5 minutes]
[——]
[Time-12.11: Diving depth 79 meters, speed 32 knots]
[Active sonar activated]
[Target distance: 4.7 miles ahead]
[Duty Officer: Target C is accelerating! Target C is descending! This is our target!]
[Captain: Attack!]
[Actively Guided Lock]
[Port side No. 1 cover opened]
[MK48 fired]
[Duty Officer: Hey, the sonar seems to be malfunctioning; it's experiencing a delay.]
[Executive: 12 knots, 18 knots, 26 knots… God, Target C is accelerating! It's accelerating way too fast! This is impossible! This is a nuclear submarine!]
[Duty Officer: 37 knots, still rising, and accelerating! Target C is still accelerating! Turn, descend!]
[Executive: This turning radius will cause the hull to crack!]
[Captain: This is not a U-boat. Switch to passive acoustic homing for the torpedoes. Dive immediately to a depth of 150 meters.]
[Time-12.15: Diving depth 105 meters, speed 29 knots]
[Executive: Look at the sonar! Noise... Good heavens, that submarine is so noisy! It's still actively probing, not afraid of exposing itself at all!]
[Target distance: 3.8 miles ahead, speed 41 knots]
[Duty Officer: This is a trap, they're coming towards us!]
[Captain: We haven't been detected yet. Just shut down the sonar, hard to port to reduce speed, and immediately begin an emergency descent at maximum depth!]
[Executive: Their noise level is...it's even louder than a rocket, the MK48 will hit it.]
[Time-12.18: Diving depth 175 meters, speed 16 knots]
[AN/BQQ-5D/E sonar (passive receiver): Torpedo detected!]
[Automatic Alarm!!! (Rapid Alarm Sound)]
[High-speed target approaching: bearing B4, 78 to 85 knots, distance 2.8 miles]
[High-speed target approaching: bearing B4, 78 to 85 knots, distance 2.6 miles]

The evening of July 4.

"Based on previous experience, the SSN21 Seawolf believed that U-boats had slow reaction speeds and poor detection capabilities, so it launched torpedoes according to normal procedures, but unexpectedly..."

"I didn't expect it to be a venomous snake. Within a minute, it turned around and delivered a fatal blow to the sea wolf."

In the Imperial Navy's intelligence room, Calvin and a group of naval experts stood before the Seawolf's black box.

At the time of the incident, the Enterprise's helicopters were waiting over the area where the conflict was taking place, and what they ultimately saw was a large oil slick.

And a buoy that used internal signals to locate itself, eventually leading to the retrieval of a black box marked SSN21.

Calvin: "In less than 200 seconds, Target C went from floating on the surface of the water to a depth of 100 meters, accelerated to more than 40 knots, and at the same time turned around and launched a total of 10 torpedoes with a speed of more than 80 knots from the stern and the bow, which ultimately blasted the Seawolf into pieces."

Although it was hit itself, no wreckage was found, making it impossible to determine whether it escaped or was sunk and its wreckage disappeared.

"A U-boat capable of running at 41 knots underwater?"

"The acoustic signature is very similar to that of the U-boats captured before, and it is suspected to be a Type XXI."

"The XXI model can't even reach 40 knots. Its space simply can't accommodate a power system with tens of thousands of horsepower. We have also never detected any radiation signals."

Where is Minister Johnson?

"He, I'm afraid..."
