19. Tranquilizers
"It's miserable... They don't even know that the situation has stabilized, do they? An Tong looked at the refugees who desperately wanted to climb over the barbed wire to seize the glimmer of life, and his heart was more or less unbearable, and then he looked away, and took the ship's girls on the truck specially sent by the military region to pick up their group, and rushed to the front-line command in Sydney Harbour, where Admiral Zhuang Hao, who had just been deprived of command, was waiting for him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
From what Antong could observe along the way, Sydney was much better than Canberra, although some sirens and screams could still be heard in the distance, and wisps of black smoke could be seen rising from somewhere, but these were more from the destruction of human beings themselves, and all kinds of crazy acts in despair were enough to cause much more damage than the deep fog.
There are more or less responsibilities of the Admiral in this, because of the over-reliance on the Admiral, which has led to the extreme atrophy of the traditional military power of this place and the violent organs of the government, such as the police, especially after the Terminator incident, the power of the traditional faction has been suppressed to the extreme, and as a result, there are now drawbacks and problems, the government and the army lack strong enough violent coercive measures to maintain order, and it is already their limit to stabilize the important bases, and there is nothing they can do about more refugees, Coupled with the fact that the weak and incompetent regional governments do not have enough to deal with it, it makes the situation so ugly.
So he had to ask the officer who was in charge of taking them to the headquarters, "Is there any TV or radio station here?" ”
The officer instantly understood An Tong's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "There are a lot of reporters outside, you can bring one in, and the base has also set up its own radio station, as well as the high-power amplification equipment left before, I hope it can be used, I'll find someone to prepare it first." ”
"Thank you." An Tong nodded at the officer, who was obviously a traditional soldier, and at this moment, every soldier who was sticking to his post was trying his best to protect this continent in his own way, not just the admirals fighting.
One order after another was quickly issued, and when An Tong arrived at the front line headquarters, reporters and photographers from one of Australia's largest TV stations were already waiting there, and Zhuang Hao, the previous person in charge here, was also standing next to him, he didn't seem to have any opinion on An Tong's direct snatching of his command as soon as he came forward, and just nodded at him.
An Tong was not interested in paying attention to the reporter's various questions, and directly snatched the topic from the hands of this good-looking female reporter, and then motioned to the photographer to point the camera at him, and then picked up another microphone linked to a high-power tweeter, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am An Tong." ”
Whether it is the people who are stuck at home waiting for news in the city, or the people who are stuck in traffic and have no choice but to turn on the car radio in the hope of hearing some good news, or the group of people who desperately want to climb over the barbed wire, when they hear the name Antong, they all miraculously remain quiet at the same time.
If the word Antong is just a new and fiery admiral for people from other continents, a super newcomer who is about to become bigseven, then this name is not so simple for the people of Australia, after the government's careful and repeated propaganda, most Australians know that the land under their feet is actually forcibly protected by the admiral at the risk of his life, so this name has a magic force that can make the most manic people calm down instantly.
"The situation has been brought under control, the deep fog of the invasion of Canberra has been cleared, the shipwives have worked tirelessly to hold the sacred mountain of Canberra, and the most dangerous situation has passed." An Tong continued, roughly explaining the situation, and deliberately emphasized that it was through the efforts of the ship's mother that the situation was stabilized, and there was no intention of taking credit for himself.
His words immediately caused an explosive cheer, and then tens of thousands of people chanted his name together, "An Tong!" Antong! The sound waves emitted by the crowd soared into the sky, so that even An Tong, who was far away in the front-line headquarters, could hear it clearly.
At this moment, even though he has tried not to mention himself as much as possible, he has become the savior in the hearts of tens of millions of Australians.
An Tong listened to the shouts one after another like a mountain flood and tsunami, smiled reluctantly, and continued: "But the battle is not over yet, there is still a big war waiting for me at sea, so I ask everyone to believe me, when I am at war with the enemy, I hope you can restrain your emotions, obey the arrangements of the military and government personnel, and wait for the return of a peaceful life, the sun will continue to rise tomorrow, and Australia will never fall!" ”
He didn't say anything like victory, he simply asked them to wait for the battle to end, and finally aroused the courage buried by fear in their hearts in a special way, so that they could get out of the panicked and out of control as soon as possible.
And the specific result was really as he expected, the enthusiasm of the crowd rose again, while continuing to chant An Tong's name, while chanting Australia, no longer irritable car horns, no longer crazy to hit the base barrier.
After An Tong finished speaking, he turned off the microphone and said to the officer before: "Try to draw out some manpower to guide them, they should be in a relatively rational state at present, and it will not be too difficult to deal with it." ”
The officer nodded, and dragged the reporters and photographers out of the headquarters, leaving a relatively quiet space for the two admirals in charge.
And An Tong also talked too much nonsense with Zhuang Hao, and directly imported the data on his personal terminal into the computer in front of his desk, and then displayed it on the light curtain, "The situation is probably like this, the number of this batch of enemies is about 2000, which is not much, but the quality is quite high, and we should be at a disadvantage in terms of combat power." As he spoke, he brought up a few images of a special deep fog that didn't look ordinary.
"This is the Thunder-class battleship you've met before?" Zhuang Hao pointed to the deep mist with a hideous smile in one of them and asked.
An Tong nodded casually, and then asked, "How is the deployment on our side?" ”
"Except for a few trucks who were blocked on the road, about 2,500 shipwives have been deployed to the sea." Zhuang Hao replied as he stretched out his hand and drew a line on the light curtain, "There are also some troops drawn from other surrounding port areas, but it is still unknown when they will arrive." ”
"It's a lot more efficient than I expected." An Tong smiled, complimented casually, and then asked, "Can I command directly now?" ”
"The order for the change of command has been given in advance, and you can start now." Zhuang Hao said, handing over a brand-new carrier pigeon communicator, "At present, it is still distributed in the form of a team of 10 people. ”
An Tong took the communicator, but suddenly said a digression: "Actually, I didn't expect you to be so cooperative, I always thought you were a very proud person." ”
"I'm proud now, in fact, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have paid attention to anyone else." Zhuang Hao replied very seriously.
His answer made An Tong stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what this guy had experienced before that made his opinion change, so he didn't know how to pick up his words for a while, but fortunately, he didn't need to answer his words at the moment, but returned to the topic, picked up the communicator and began to give orders to the ship girls on the defense line again.
Zhuang Hao stood silently behind him, quietly listening to him give one command after another that seemed unbelievable to him, watching him make a mess of the standard defensive formation that he had only arranged for a long time, and the shipwives broke away from the ideal position that had been deployed before, and scattered in multiple directions, and the entire defense line even had a vague tendency to take the initiative to rush towards the enemy.
Zhuang Hao almost wanted to open his mouth to ask or terminate his random layout that completely violated theoretical common sense, but due to An Tong's previous accumulated prestige and miraculous achievements again and again, he still forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and continued to watch An Tong's performance with a stomach full of questions.
Finally, after the shipwives repositioned the defense, Zhuang Hao found that the original standard defensive formation was forcibly twisted into a very curious formation by An Tong, and more than 2,500 shipwives were divided into two parts by him, each forming two lines of defense, one in the north, one in the south, with a considerable distance in between, and the strange shape of an inverted figure-eight was blocked outside Sydney Harbour.
So he finally couldn't help but ask, "This... What is this for? You also said that we do not have an advantage in combat power, and as a result, we separate the forces that are already at a disadvantage? There is still such a big gap in the middle for the enemy to drive straight in? ”
"If they're willing to go straight in, that's the best outcome." An Tong replied calmly, "When the time comes, just cut off their formations, and then cooperate with the defensive forces responsible for delaying on the Sydney side to attack back and forth." ”
"But in that case, wouldn't Sydney be ruined?" Zhuang Hao asked in astonishment.
"I never thought of guarding this port, did I? And then again, isn't it cost-effective to sacrifice one Sydney to save the whole of Australia? That's why we must evacuate the refugees as soon as possible. An Tong said simply.
Zhuang Hao couldn't say a word when he heard such an explanation, and at this time he realized that there must be a serious deviation between his understanding and him in some places.
