歷史

隨著近年來(lái)各同盟國(guó)的情況每況愈下，他們?cè)絹?lái)越傾向于使用非傳統(tǒng)的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)手段。其中之一就包括設(shè)立海豚游擊戰(zhàn)術(shù)學(xué)校。在這當(dāng)中最為著名的，當(dāng)屬位于蘇格蘭的卡邁克爾海洋實(shí)驗(yàn)室，同時(shí)也是全球領(lǐng)先的海洋哺乳動(dòng)物軍事訓(xùn)練中心。盡管盟軍訓(xùn)練海豚用與蘇聯(lián)抗衡的計(jì)劃曾在項(xiàng)目之初遭受過(guò)質(zhì)疑，但在現(xiàn)在，這已被譽(yù)為是幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)最優(yōu)秀、最具前瞻性的軍事構(gòu)想。

這張照片展示了盟軍的第一只受訓(xùn)海豚，芬茲·弗萊明。他正處在感覺(jué)剝奪隔離室中，頭上戴著的是無(wú)色WP100音波發(fā)射器原型機(jī)。

然而，這一決策也并非滿堂喝彩。直到今天，盟軍官員們?nèi)匀辉跒橛?xùn)練和武裝海豚辯護(hù)，堅(jiān)稱他們教會(huì)了這些動(dòng)物保護(hù)自己以及它們的家園。盡管道德辯論仍在繼續(xù)，裝備了特制的防水音波發(fā)射器的盟軍海豚的實(shí)戰(zhàn)效果卻是毋庸置疑的。只要經(jīng)過(guò)合適的訓(xùn)練，這些聰明而又忠誠(chéng)的海洋生物便能夠迅速并準(zhǔn)確地定位外來(lái)軍艦，而當(dāng)它們集結(jié)成群時(shí)，這支部隊(duì)的戰(zhàn)果也是驚人的。

海豚的音波武器就像水下的鑿巖錘，反復(fù)重?fù)魯硨?duì)目標(biāo)直到將其粉碎。海豚自身能夠無(wú)視這一武器的振動(dòng)頻率，保持與其他海豚以及指揮官的正常通訊，即便是在正在與它們最大的敵人——蘇聯(lián)的阿庫(kù)拉潛艇打得熱火朝天的時(shí)候。盡管蘇聯(lián)官方在明面上曾經(jīng)公開(kāi)表示過(guò)對(duì)這支海豚部隊(duì)的不滿，但他們私下里仍然在繼續(xù)實(shí)驗(yàn)?zāi)軌驅(qū)惯@些靈活而危險(xiǎn)的生物的新戰(zhàn)術(shù)。比如說(shuō)，蘇軍最新式的電鰩突擊艇就能夠向周圍的水中釋放極其危險(xiǎn)的高壓電流。然而，盟軍的海豚同樣可以通過(guò)高高躍出水面來(lái)躲避這一攻擊。

老一代的水手和老兵們?cè)硎竞ｋ嘣诂F(xiàn)代戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上毫無(wú)用武之地，傳統(tǒng)的艦船和武器在各方面都要比它們優(yōu)秀。然而，當(dāng)一只海豚在布萊頓海灘附近單獨(dú)擊沉了一艘蘇軍的無(wú)畏級(jí)戰(zhàn)艦后，只有最為嘴硬的蘇聯(lián)的宣傳部門(mén)還在堅(jiān)持這一說(shuō)法。（為了表彰她的英勇?tīng)奚?，帕德斯·邁克因提爾被追授了盟軍的最高級(jí)勛章）

有消息稱，盟軍指揮部高層正在準(zhǔn)備為海豚準(zhǔn)備一套獨(dú)立的軍銜制度，作為對(duì)它們做出的貢獻(xiàn)的認(rèn)可。

戰(zhàn)地筆記

戰(zhàn)地偵察揭示了有關(guān)于海豚的如下事實(shí)：

?音波發(fā)射器——盟軍海豚是專業(yè)的戰(zhàn)斗兵員，它們能夠熟練地使用安裝在它們背鰭上的音波武器。這些高射速武器能夠有效對(duì)抗所有類型的艦船，而不必?fù)?dān)心對(duì)海洋環(huán)境的影響。

?更高，更遠(yuǎn)——由盟軍特殊訓(xùn)練過(guò)的海豚對(duì)從水中躍出的技巧掌握得更加出色。它們比野生的海豚能夠跳得更高、更遠(yuǎn)，這一能力為它們帶來(lái)了很多戰(zhàn)術(shù)上的便利。

?廣闊的探測(cè)范圍——盡管海豚作戰(zhàn)勇猛，它們的主要工作還是偵查。依靠它們與生俱來(lái)的優(yōu)秀速度和最高級(jí)的探測(cè)設(shè)備，它們能夠在很遠(yuǎn)的距離上發(fā)現(xiàn)敵方部隊(duì)而不被敵方發(fā)現(xiàn)——隨后用尾鰭仰泳撤離并快速向基地回報(bào)。

?為戰(zhàn)斗而生——由于盟軍海豚是為自由而生，而且它們不需要撫慰金，盟軍得以大量訓(xùn)練這些動(dòng)物。收益歸于動(dòng)物保護(hù)組織和水生兵器研究機(jī)構(gòu)。

history

As the situation for the Allied Nations turned rather desperate in recent decades, they increasingly resorted to unconventional means of war. One such means involves guerilla-style schools of dolphins. The most prestigious of these schools, of course, is Scotland-based Carmichael Aqualabs, which is still the world's leading military training center for aquatic mammals. Though initially met with skepticism, the Allies' plans to use dolphins in open naval warfare against the Soviet Union is widely held today as one of the finest, most forward-thinking military initiatives of the last quarter century.

Shown here is the Allies' original dolphin test subject, Fins Flemming,

in his sensory deprivation chamber wearing a colorless prototype of the WP100 sonic disruptor.

The decision is not without controversy, mind you. To this day, Allied officials continue to staunchly defend their research-and-development into training and weaponizing common dolphins, insisting that they have taught these creatures to defend themselves and their aquatic homes. Notwithstanding the ongoing ethical debate, Allied dolphins--fitted with specially-made, fully-waterproof sonic disruptor technology--are indisputably effective. With proper training, these intelligent and obedient creatures can quickly and accurately relay the coordinates of foreign sea vessels, and in groups, they can do battle with surprisingly effective results.

Dolphins' sonic weaponry acts almost like a physical underwater jackhammer, pounding enemy targets until they begin to break apart. The dolphins are able to ignore the weapon frequencies and still communicate effectively with each other and their commanders even in the midst of all-out war versus the likes of their worst enemies, the Soviet Union's Akula-class submersibles. The Soviets have expressed open frustration with the dolphin warfare, however, and continue to experiment with new ways of combating these swift and brave creatures. For example, their new Stingray strike craft are known to send dangerous levels of electricity coursing through the waters--yet, in turn, the Allies' dolphins can leap high and far up and out of the water, out of harm's way.

A generation of sailors and war veterans once said that dolphins have no place on the modern battlefield, and that conventional ships and weapons are far superior in every way. However, after one now-famous dolphin single-flipperedly sank a Soviet dreadnought off the coast of Brighton Beach, only the Soviet Union's loudest propagandists still cling to this belief. (For her noble sacrifice, Puddles McIntyre posthumously received the Allies' most prestigious medal.)

It is believed that the Allied command core is soon preparing to unveil a complete military hierarchy exclusive to dolphin ranks, in recognition of their increasingly invaluable service.

notes >

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Dolphins:

? Sonic disruptors -- Allied dolphins are expert fighters, well-trained with the sonic disruptor weapons custom-fitted around their flippers and dorsal fin. These weapons fire rapidly and are effective against all type of ships, without causing any environmental side-effects.

? The high-flying high jump -- The Allies' specially-trained dolphins have truly mastered the technique of leaping forth from out of the waves. They can jump much higher and farther than their wild brethren, which presents a variety of tactical benefits.

? Superior scan range -- While dolphins are formidable combatants, they are primarily used for reconnaissance. Between their natural speed and their top-of-the-line surveillance equipment, they can locate hostile forces well before they themselves are spotted--then quickly report back to base by back-swimming in a tail-stand.

? Bred for battle -- Because Allied dolphins are born to serve the cause of freedom, and because they have no use for monetary compensation, ultimately the Allies are able to train these creatures for a rather modest sum. Proceeds go to animal rights organizations and aquatic weapons research.
