"What's going on? Where's the dock? Where are the people?" When several small warships filled with soldiers from the IRS anti-smuggling fleet sailed to the waters where the Iron Gang dock marked on the map were located, they found that they had been staring at them for many years.

The Tiebang Dockyard disappeared unexpectedly, and not only the people disappeared, but the dock itself was also missing, not even a single wooden board was left.

Originally, according to the plan, the internal agents they arranged in the Iron Gang's dock would try to use incendiary bombs to burn down the sailing speedboat. At that time, the thick smoke rising into the sky would serve as a signal and lurk in the surrounding waters. Anti-smuggling ships disguised as fishing boats would gather to arrest the Iron Gang.

shipyard's

French gunboats, and with the cooperation of internal agents, the anti-smuggling fleet will be able to rely on the special bill of the Internal Revenue Service to encircle and suppress the Iron Gang Shipyard, and then use the Iron Gang Shipyard as a breakthrough point to seize Belluc, who has been watched by them for many years.

All the smuggling docks in the lake.

However, although the plan was good, something unexpected happened during the process, because no matter how long they waited, they did not wait for the smoke to appear. They were also worried that the illegal gunboats of the Iron Gang would not use incendiary bombs, but ordinary artillery shells to sink the sailing speedboat.

So several small boats were sent to check the situation, and they found that the sailing speedboat was still floating on the water intact, which meant that the Iron Gang's gunboats did not attack the sailing speedboat that broke into their restricted area as planned.

They thought their plan had been exposed, so they tried to practice their internal response at the Iron Gang Shipyard through special methods, but they were unable to contact them. This made them realize that things might be developing in the direction they least expected.

In this case, there are only two choices for the anti-smuggling fleet. One is to give up the plan and make follow-up plans after understanding the specific situation. The second is to still implement the original plan. As for the excuses, just give up and deal with it first.

Besides these trends, there will definitely be big trouble afterwards. For example, the relationship with the IRS has always been extremely bad, and the federal courts and prosecutors who want to limit the power of the IRS will definitely make a fuss about this matter.

The first option is not within the scope of consideration of the anti-smuggling fleet. After all, the IRS has been planning this operation for many years, and has also mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources just to take down these smuggling docks in one fell swoop, so they absolutely cannot

It will allow things to happen without success.

As for the second option, although there will be big trouble afterwards, it is also something that other departments need to deal with, and front-line combat troops like them don't need to think so much at all.

After understanding this, the commander of this operation immediately ordered everything to be carried out according to the original plan, and they simply burned Leo's sailing speedboat with the illegal gunboats of the Iron Gang, and then led several of the fastest ships

They rushed directly to the Tiebang Dockyard, but what they never expected was that after they arrived at the Tiebang Dockyard, they found that the Tiebang Dockyard was missing. From the ships that built the dock to the people on the ship, even the people on the ship were missing.

Not a single plank of wood was seen.

This strange situation gave everyone a blank look on their faces. Some people speculated that they had gone to the wrong place, but this was quickly denied because the navigator on the ship had already mapped all the docks and reefs in the waters of Beiluk Lake.

Everything was clear and there was no possibility of going to the wrong place.

What happened after that made the anti-smuggling fleet feel that things were on the verge of getting out of control, because news also came from other fleets. Except for a few smuggling docks near the shore, all the smuggling docks they had included in the list were focused on.

The docks have disappeared, as if they had never existed.

And the news that was passed on one after another changed the mood of the officers and soldiers on the anti-smuggling fleet from confusion to fear, because there were already some more ships of the anti-smuggling fleet on the disappeared list, including those of this operation.

command ship.

Realizing that something was wrong, the remaining anti-smuggling fleets immediately ordered their fleet to move back to the nearest dock. After half a day, only two anti-smuggling fleets finally arrived at the dock. The other anti-smuggling fleets were all the same as the previous fleets and docks.

Disappeared without a trace.

Almost a complete IRS anti-smuggling fleet disappeared en masse while performing its mission. Such a big event cannot be concealed, not to mention that in this special period, the upper levels of the federal government pay more attention to this matter than ordinary people expect.

Although the Ott Federation is a landlocked country with infantry as the main force, its internal water system is developed, connecting various cities and counties in the country, and some rivers even extend abroad. Therefore, the importance of the federal water army is no less than that of the infantry, regardless of

Whether it is transporting supplies or soldiers to the border for display, or using rivers to fight deep into the enemy's country, a powerful fleet is needed.

In order to avoid arousing the vigilance and attention of neighboring countries, although the Ot Federation's army has its own navy army, that army is just a show, a disguise. In fact, the real navy army should be the Internal Revenue Service.

The anti-smuggling fleet can conduct various trainings on the grounds of combating smuggling without attracting too much attention from the outside world.

However, now this naval force, which will be of great use in the future, has mysteriously disappeared. This is equivalent to destroying nearly 80% of the Otter Federation's water power, and making all the battle plans formulated by the Otter Federation for future wars aborted.

The moment the news came out,

Most of the upper echelons of the Otter Federation believe that this matter must be related to the church armed forces gathered in surrounding countries. Only those churches that have been in contact with mysterious powers for many years can achieve such a thing of silently wiping out an army.

After all, there have been many examples of this in the past.

Therefore, as soon as the top officials of the Otter Federation received the news, they dispatched a joint investigation team of the police, the military, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Ministry of Education to Lake Beiluk. At the same time, they also began to conduct the first investigation of the latent church forces in the Otter Federation.

The second round of purges was because they suspected that there was a powerful church force hiding in the country, and they were able to silently annex an entire fleet.

Compared with the first purge, this targeted purge is more stringent and cruel. Basically, any well-known person who has expressed sympathy for the church or a celebrity who has expressed a certain belief has been removed.

He was arrested and put in prison.

Almost overnight, the celebrities who were the envy of everyone before have now become prisoners awaiting trial in prisons. There must be some unjust, false, and wrongful convictions among them, but the upper echelons of the federal government no longer care about these. They must do it.

Before the war comes, let the country's internal thoughts be completely unified and not give any chance to the all-pervasive church forces.

The second purge naturally caused a lot of turmoil in the entire society. Although the people arrested were all upper-class people and did not involve the lower class people, seeing that the glamorous big shots before were also arrested, the lower class people were also arrested.

People are more or less panicked and feel that even the big guys can't protect themselves. How can they, the little guys, resist when facing the federal police?

As a result, some hidden forces who hoped that the Ott Federation would be in chaos began to take action at this time, but they did not know that the Federation was already targeting them and waiting for them to emerge from hiding.

A pre-war appetizer unfolds within the Commonwealth.

At this time, the investigators sent to Belluk Lake suddenly discovered something from the communication files between the fleets. Leo, who mastered the special steel formula, was actually used as a bait to perform the task by the IRS anti-smuggling fleet and was taken to

Aboard the Kraken.

At the same time, some people suddenly thought of something. Bachelor Langnus, who is regarded as the pillar of the country, is also on board the Kraken, and the Kraken is currently in Lake Beiluk, so it happens that the Kraken is now in

Lost connection status.

For a time, the investigation team that was originally investigating the disappearance of the anti-smuggling fleet immediately turned into a search and rescue team, and began to send ships into Beiluk Lake to search for the Kraken that might be in trouble.

However, what the investigation team was confused about was that when they told his wife, Ms. Sylvia, about Leo's disappearance, Sylvia seemed very calm, as if Leo just went out for a walk and would be there later.

It seemed that she would come back, and Sylvia also told the investigation team that she also knew the formula and could continue to implement the agreement's plan to expand the smelter and increase the production capacity of special steel.

While the outside world is trying to search and rescue the Sea Monster, the Sea Monster is quietly docked in the waters above the large fissure in Beiluk Lake. The maintenance personnel inside the ship are using the only materials available to repair some parts of the hull.

Damaged to allow the Kraken to dive deeper.

Rear Admiral Rice changed his initial opposition and actively participated in the exploration plan formulation meeting led by Longenus, and had already reserved two positions for his best sailors.

As for the people from the Secret Service Security Department, they were also extremely excited, and requested to participate in the field exploration operation on the grounds of protecting Longanus' safety.

Even Longanus was extremely excited and even had to take some drugs to suppress his excitement and calm down his mind.

In the whole room, only Leo looked very calm, and he seemed to be thinking about something from the beginning, sitting quietly aside with no intention of participating in the discussion.

The reason why the emotions of everyone on the Kraken became so different was entirely because when they arrived at the intended location of the Great Rift, the magical things that happened convinced everyone that there was something hidden under the Great Rift that could change the entire world.

"This is how the staffing has been decided!" After Longanus selected the final person, he ended the meeting, then ordered everyone to prepare according to the plan, and emphasized the safety of equipment.

"The special security personnel of the Prime Minister's Office meet the requirements, but why do you want him, a foreigner, to join?" At this time, Major General Rice pointed at Leo with some dissatisfaction and raised objections.

Longenus said in a strong tone: "I don't need to explain to you. As a soldier, you should know very well that it is your bounden duty to execute orders."

Major General Rice looked at Longanus angrily, but he quickly averted his gaze, turned around and left the cabin without saying anything else.

When there were only two people left in the cabin, Leo and Longanus, Leo asked: "Aren't you worried about what he will do if you get into the water?"

"If he had the guts to do such a thing, he wouldn't be just a major general now." Longanus seemed to know Major General Rice very well and was unimpressed by Leo's question. Then he asked Leo a little abruptly:

"Have you seen that sight before?"

Leo nodded slightly, then smiled and said: "Although I don't want to discourage you, I still want to say that you may be disappointed by your exploration here. There is absolutely nothing here that can change the world."

"I know. If there is really something here that changes the world, then the churches that launched the religious war will definitely use it. How could it be left to us." Longenus was not disappointed, he still seemed

Very excited, he said: "What am I interested in?"

Aren’t you excited about the knowledge inside, the knowledge about starry sky civilization? Don’t you want to know the mysteries of such a gorgeous and great sight? For example, who is driving a warship as huge as a world to fight in the starry sky?

,Aren’t you curious..."

At this moment, Longanus was completely immersed in that magical image. Ever since he saw the image, he was extremely excited. In order to allow himself to think calmly, he had to suppress his emotions.

He was excited, and now, after everything had been arranged, he needed to let himself talk to his heart's content and vent the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time. Leo happened to be a suitable listener.

However, his attention was completely devoted to his excitement, and he did not notice that Leo looked extremely calm beside him, as if what he said was as simple as drinking water and eating.

In fact, for Leo, the images that made Longnus and everyone on the ship so emotional were indeed as ordinary as drinking water and eating, because he had seen countless similar scenes in the past, and he had even seen them many times

of participation.

It was a scene of cosmic war. When the submarine arrived at the predetermined location at the predetermined time, as Longenus speculated, a vision appeared.

At that time, the entire Kraken disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. Everyone on the ship appeared in the starry sky universe, and the star field where they were located happened to be experiencing the outbreak of Star Wars among several civilizations. In this way, the people on the ship witnessed a

It was a war they had never heard of, and for Leo, such a war was nothing unusual.

But for people who have never seen the starry sky or come into contact with cosmic civilization, the shock level of that scene is unparalleled, which directly causes them to be in a state of excitement all the time, and even ignore the Kraken.

Damage to the hull, using all available resources, we must immediately enter the place where the ruins fragments are found in the large crack, and Leo will naturally not stop these people, because he also wants to know what is inside the crack at the bottom of the lake.
