When Liu Wei came to the Federal Reserve Bank, the squadron led by Zhou Fen had already controlled the situation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the bank was closed at the time of the attack and most of the staff were off duty, there were only a dozen security guards and guards in the FOS corps when they stormed the bank.

Judging by the situation on the spot, the fighting was not fierce.

Only six security guards were killed, their bodies were placed in the corner of the bank hall, covered with gray tarpaulins, and a dozen or so security guards were held in the VIP lounge. Zhou Fen didn't do anything to them, just disarmed, and prepared some drinking water and convenience food for them.

This is Liu Wei's request, and if there is no need, do not kill civilians.

There was only one squad of FOS fighters in the hall, and everyone else had already taken up their posts. There is at least one observation group and one gathering group on the rooftop, and two or four FOS fighters on each floor. Because it has just been taken over here, it is still searching the entire building, looking for fish that have slipped through the net.

"How?"

"The situation was under control, except that the security captain who had the password was killed in the battle, and the bank duty manager had left work five hours earlier, perhaps leaving Manhattan Island before the attack." Zhou Fen quickened his pace and walked towards the elevator in front of him, "Even if he is still on the island, we can't find him." Thankfully, the dedicated elevator to the underground vault was not damaged, and our men were already down. ”

Liu Wei didn't say much and got into the elevator.

After Zhou Jinjin came, he used a key obtained from the guard to turn on the special switch in the elevator. Only then can you go down to the underground vault.

The elevator ran for about a minute before it stopped.

The speed of decline is not fast, mainly because this elevator has been for some years, and it is not a commonly used fast elevator. It's just that the carrying capacity of the elevator far exceeds that of ordinary elevators, and it is capable of lifting five tons of cargo at a time.

Although according to U.S. law, gold is a "prohibited item", and even if other countries buy U.S. reserve gold, it can only be stored in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank, and cannot be shipped out of the United States.

Coming to the underground vault, Liu Wei first met several FOS fighters who were busy.

Because the door of the vault was to be forcibly opened, Zhou Fen prepared a lot of equipment and equipment, mainly for high-temperature oxygen welding to cut steel plates.

The FOS fighters were carrying oxygen tanks and acetylene tanks to the gate.

The cutting has begun, but it's not progressing fast.

The vault door is not only thick, but also made of special alloy steel cast in one go. When planning, Liu Wei considered using a laser cutting machine, but the equipment was too large and needed enough electricity, so he had to give up and chose oxygen welding without electricity. In this way, the cutting speed is naturally much slower.

When Liu Wei arrived, the two FOS fighters had already latched out the door of the gate and cut a gap ten centimeters deep and twenty centimeters long.

The indoor temperature was very high, and the cutting work had to be intermittent.

"How much longer?"

"At least four hours." The FOS soldier in charge of cutting looked back at Liu Wei and said, "If the information is not accurate, and there is a latch inside, I'm afraid it will take six hours." ”

"Keep trying, don't stop."

The FOS warrior nodded and pulled down the goggles on his head.

"Get someone to get some water, preferably ice." Liu Wei called Zhou Fen aside and said, "Before dawn, I will come over again, and if there is any progress, I will be notified immediately." ”

"No problem, why don't you go over there and have a look?"

Liu Wei nodded and let Zhou Fen lead the way.

The so-called other side is the passage through which the gold is transported.

The operation had two main objectives, one was to find and destroy the Future Soldier experimental base, and the other was to loot the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Although Liu Wei attaches more importance to the former, the latter cannot relax.

The key to stealing gold is how to transport tens of thousands of tons of gold out of the Federal Reserve Bank and out of Manhattan without the Yankees noticing.

Delivery from the ground, apparently unlikely.

After the attack, even if the Yankees thought it was a terrorist attack, as long as Liu Wei stayed on the island too long, the Yankees would think that the attackers would try to open the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank. In order to stop the attackers from stealing the gold, the Yankees would certainly have monitored ground traffic.

Besides, transporting more than 10,000 tons of gold is definitely a big deal.

If you use a truck with a load of 50 tons, you need more than 200 trips. With so many vehicles appearing on the streets, they will definitely be spotted by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft of the US military. Even if the Yankees are afraid to carry out air strikes, they will monitor the movement of vehicles and take action after they leave populated areas.

The only way to get across the world is to transport gold through an underground network.

Thankfully, Manhattan has the densest and largest underground network system in the world.

By the time Liu Wei arrived, several FOS fighters had already dug up the ground, revealing the stormwater drainage pipes underneath.

Unlike the country's big cities, New York's stormwater and sewerage pipes are separated, and they are built according to the standards of the city's development over the next hundred years. The pipeline, which runs east of the Federal Reserve Bank, is just a straight line of the entire pipe network, and its diameter is more than one metre, enough to withstand a once-in-a-millennium heavy rainstorm.

After digging up the ground, FOS fighters installed blasting equipment on the pipe.

The charge is not large, it only needs to blow up a gap in the pipe that is large enough for personnel to enter and exit.

Liu Wei and Zhou Fen put on earplugs, and the sound of the explosion was still very loud, making it even more dull in the closed room, and the dust and smoke from the explosion suddenly diffused.

When the dust fell and the smoke cleared, Liu Wei and Zhou Fencai stepped forward.

The blast hole is about 90 centimeters long, and the wall of the pipe is not very thick, but it is covered with finger-thick steel bars, which seem to have been specially treated. The inside of the pipes is very clean, with very little standing water. Since there has been no rain for a month, the inside of the pipes is relatively dry.

Liu Wei and Zhou Fen did not hinder their subordinates and consciously retreated to the side.

After cutting the rebar from the pipe, a FOS fighter with a tight waterproof suit and some equipment on his back got in.

"The pipeline is about five kilometers long, and the first 500 meters merge into the main pipeline." Zhou Fen took out the handheld computer and called up the rainwater drainage pipe circuit diagram. "If everything goes well, it can be done before dawn. When the time comes, we'll plug the back section with cement, as well as other straight pipe entrances along the way. ”

"Any other trouble?"

"Not yet, we'll have to wait until we find out the situation."

Liu Wei nodded and did not leave in a hurry.

About thirty minutes later, the FOS fighter crawled back.

As in the case on the pipeline diagram, there is no other outlet until it is fed into the main pipe. The main pipe is about three meters in diameter, and there are five more branches before it flows into the sea. That is, about ten tons of cement are needed to block all the outlets.

It's also a hassle than cutting open the door to the vault.

When Liu Wei left, several FOS fighters had already sent the first batch of cement over. Because it was impossible to stuff the large mixing equipment into the stormwater drainage pipe, the FOS fighters had to mix the cement with manpower in the main pipe, and then block the branch pipe with woven steel wire mesh.

When Liu Wei returned to the hall, the search was over.

Aside from the four cleaners who were hiding in the building, and a female employee who did not leave work on time, no security guards or guards were found who were hiding.

These people were also locked up in the VIP lounge.

On the way back to the command center, Liu Wei received a message from the gray-backed jackal that the squadron led by Bao Liuqing had stabilized the civilians in the city.

Bringing civilians left on the streets home, or back to their place of work, is not too dangerous than any other operation, but it requires great care. It couldn't be more appropriate to let Bao Liuqing do this.

In fact, it's a nuisance.

To get more than 2 million, maybe more than 3 million civilians, out of the streets and back into buildings, it is definitely not patient persuasion, but deterrence.

Fortunately, the fighting at several police stations has made the civilians on the island aware of what happened.

To enhance deterrence, Liu Wei assigned Bao Liuqing's squadron as many armored Humvees as possible, and installed heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers for each Humvee. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, tear gas projectiles were also installed on some Humvee vehicles. After occupying the police station, Bao Liuqing found several riot control vehicles equipped with high-pressure water cannons and loud launchers, which played a major role in the deportation of civilians.

After clearing the streets, Bao Liuqing's squadron was divided into ten squads and began to patrol the streets.

Each squad has two armoured Humvees, both equipped with loudspeakers, which constantly play audio tapes that keep civilians at home or at work.

The patrol team also had the task of clearing the city of gun shops and collecting civilian firearms.

This was done not for fear of civilians arming themselves against the FOS Corps, but to avoid unnecessary casualties. From the very beginning, Liu Wei made clear the bottom line of this mission, that is, not to harm civilians unless absolutely necessary, let alone to take force actions specifically against civilians.

Thankfully, Manhattan is a wealthy area of New York, and few wealthy people dare to work hard.

As for the street hooligans who came out to take advantage of the fire, the patrols of the FOS Legion were enough to deal with it, and enough to keep those who were ready to move honestly.

Along the way, Liu Wei also saw that there were almost no pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few appeared, and they were also thieves.

It's just that, occasionally, gunshots can be heard, and it must be that the patrol is in trouble.

There is nothing strange about it, it would be strange if the patrol did not run into trouble.

Back at the command center, Liu Wei first inquired about the situation of the patrol, especially the casualties. Because the resistance was met by armed civilians, mainly New York mafia gunmen, and some who failed to leave Manhattan and did not return to the police station, no FOS fighters were killed, only a few were slightly wounded.

Now, Liu Wei has to arrange the most important thing.
