Chapter 588: Call from the Colossus.

Chapter 588: Call from the Colossus.

The words of the Chinese expert are rare to be inaccurate. The disaster happened, the Sapphire capsized under everyone’s nose, even the people from abroad felt very unbearable in their hearts after having witnessed this scene.

After all, boats are just carriers of ordinary people, and like any boat, Sapphire has encountered unwarranted disaster on her voyage. If it had been a warship, of course, everyone would have applauded its sinking.

The last scene on the TV screen was the sea splashing over the narrow cabin of the speedboat, the speedboat rolling in the waves, and the scene of the Sapphire being knocked down by a huge wave was that last scene. This scene caused every American who saw it to stand up putting their hands over their mouths choking an “ooh”. They were grieved, unable to let off steam, and quickly turned into anger.

“Damn the United States government.”

“The president must resign, and all navy troops must step down. They didn’t deserve standing in their posts.”

“The American people do not need such an incompetent president.”

“This is not the United States in my heart. I want to emigrate to Australia.”

“The government has abandoned us. They have ignored the safety of our people.”

“Take Action Brethren and hundreds of people on the Sapphire need us to do something for them.”

Within minutes of the transmission end, the internet was filled with overwhelming anger. Everyone turned their heads in the White House and even the administrators of the major website forums were angry and expressed their anger together.

Members of the emergency rescue team set up by the White House office were directly frightened by this scene. At the same time, almost all external calls were cut off, and the White House website was even crippled for a while.

If he wasn’t far in the seas of Japan, reporter Bassett, who had vowed to be with the Sapphire, stood up again and signaled to the audience through the microphone that he was undead and asked angry viewers to take to the streets to let the White House know and fully understand what anger is.

“Ahem ~ ahem ~ our speedboat capsized earlier.” Journalist Bassett was choked on seawater, coughing over and over: “But our outboard is designed to break through waves, with the engine and fuel tank placed low to adjust the center of gravity. It was just a wave, here we are again the speedboat is straightened up ~ Dallas, how are you?” Reporter Bassett laboriously called the cameraman, and after tens of seconds the cameraman quietly said: “I’m fine.” Then the old cameraman screamed, cursing.

Afterward, the cameraman also staggered around and refurbished the camera. The image was blocked for a long time, and finally moved again, and he immediately aimed the lens at the Sapphire.

The Sapphire rolled over on its belly, its hull up, and at that point, it was like an iron basin curled up in the water, with a black V-shaped bottom floating on the sea.

“All ~ viewers who watch this show live, the scene in front of me reminds me of the World Trade Towers back then. But this time, I believe people who are hungry for life and afraid of death are the result of this ultimate catastrophe. ~ I will try to save people, even if only one can be saved.”

After he finished speaking, reporter Bassett yelled at the sailor to drive the speedboat to the sinking Sapphire. At this point the sailor was also encouraged, driving the still moving outboard, he desperately steered the outboard towards the Sapphire and positioned it to side by side with it.

But in the storm, no castaways emerged. Instead, a few huge and incomparable splashes appeared.

“Guru ~”

“Guru ~”

After persisting for a few minutes, the Sapphire began sinking. People have turned a blind eye and firmly believe that even if the president does not resign, the heads of several bases near the sea must resign.

Under the world’s attention, the Sapphire gradually sank into the water, leaving only a layer of the bottom of the ship floating in the sea.

Experts from all TV channels spat wildly and started talking live.

“There is no more hope. It is completely over. Once the ship sinks, it will have no possibility of floating again. In addition, the powerful waves will allow the sea to quickly absorb the Sapphire in the deep breaches to a depth of two kilometers ~ It will be a catastrophic moment, and the Americans will face a huge test.”

……

The Japanese government was about to be driven mad by pressure from the US government. Due to the distance, it is impossible for many US military bases to arrive on time. In fact, at the base of Meishi, there were already quite a few small and large sailboats that had rushed towards this sea area. Of course, everyone understands their efforts cannot come to anything.

According to the captain of the United States, the maritime security guards did not obey. All they had done was hardening their heads and let the speedboats return to the dock.

“Mr. President, the crisis is approaching. I suggest you speak immediately on national television and try to save our image,” the secretary of state said with a heavy face.

“Okay, help me prepare,” Mr. President looked sad.

“It’s all ready; it’s in the next room.” It seems the Secretary of State has clairvoyance.

With hasty steps, it took only ten seconds for the President to arrive in the adjoining speech room. The national broadcasting equipment was already in place, and with the arrival of the President, it was immediately connected to the signals of several major television channels.

“Citizens across the country, we saw a very sad scene ~ I’m here ~ First of all, I want to express my gratitude to reporter Bassett who helped us live the moment there ~ It’s his strength and his bravery that made us live in the moment and witness it all ~ Here I also respond on behalf of. ~ We are unafraid of danger, but our experts really haven’t come up with an effective plan ~ Now, Guam, Okinawa, and Yokosuka, three vanguards military bases sent the fastest assault boats to this sea ~ But the weather is not on our side please don’t blame our soldiers, they come at the risk of their lives.”

“So please calm down, everyone, let us face this sad moment together. We together pray and live courageously in the face of this disaster? ~ Let’s accept the reality ~ Let’s pray for the Sapphire in silence.”

Mr. President took the lead and closed his eyes, then the Secretary of State, the people to the right, and to the left, and the White House spokesman, also got their eyes closed.

In the TV broadcast screen, the small screen at the top right showed the Sapphire scene. In the crashing waves, more and more bubbles emerged. The hull of the Sapphire is looming, it seems the next moment it will never float.

Just when all of the American people were about to come to terms with this reality with desperation and began to observe a moment of silence together. Journalist Bassett suddenly shouted frantically into the microphone, “I can hear, I can hear.” The director immediately noticed the anomaly and quickly cut off his voice.

“This is the Colossus ~ The Colossus is calling you. Please respond when the speedboat hears me. My ship has been ordered to save your ship.”

The torrential rain, the roaring wind, and the huge waves could not mask the conversation that was coming over the radio.
