Chapter 983: The End of the Empire
This once-glorious super empire has completely collapsed.
It was not crushed by its own prosperous but actually extremely weak economy, nor was it crushed by its strategic rival Huaxia on the other side of the ocean, but by this group of cold-blooded sea monsters.
This group of cold-blooded animals with no advanced weapons, no flashy economy, and no high-rise buildings has defeated the super-empire with the most powerful military power and the most prosperous economic capacity in the world.
And wantonly slaughter on the land of this super-empire.
Just as the ancestors of this super-empire did to the indigenous Indians of this land more than two hundred years ago, these cold-blooded animals are carrying out acts of genocide in the land of this super-empire.
The mighty Mi army has been routed.
In this chaotic attack, the only thing the Mi army with heavy firepower can do is to protect itself.
Then pray that the monsters will get out of the land quickly.
However, this time it wasn't like the last beast tide, as the Spectral Monsters began to retreat after entering a hundred kilometers of inland, and they began to roam around with impunity.
In a short period of time, some have even entered the inland area of 400 kilometers.
Twenty-four hours after the beast tide, there were basically no ghost-claw monsters along the coast of the rice country to continue to go ashore, but because of the surge of more than 100,000 ghost-claw monsters, this made the country fall into a desperate situation.
The powerful Mi army can only rearrange the defense line in the inland state, preparing to use the method of last time, and slowly force the ghostclaw monster into the coastline.
However, the army is seriously insufficient, and the territory of the United States is extremely vast.
So although the effect is quite significant, I know that thirty-six hours have passed since the beast tide. The White House and Capitol Hill have resumed normal contact with the outside world.
Subsequently, President Aubreka regained command.
Reports of casualties in various states also continued to pile up, in just thirty-six hours. The death toll exceeded a million, while the number of injured reached more than five million.
Thereinto. The number of army casualties exceeded 40,000.
Several coastal military bases were destroyed.
The first thing Obrika did after regaining command was to immediately declare a state of war for the whole country.
The army will be in control for the time being.
Not only the coastal states, but also the inland states that have not yet been invaded by the Spectreclaw will also fully enforce martial law.
At this time, Huaxia on the other side of the ocean has already begun to deal with the aftermath.
The new version of the Great Wall played a decisive role in this beast tide.
Although there are some areas that have been broken through by sporadic Spectre Monsters, the damage they deal is limited.
In less than a year, the wall was built almost in the form of a national mobilization, so that the beast tide of the ghostclaw monsters returned in vain.
Basically, the casualties in Huaxia Kingdom were all caused by the Red Demon Dragon.
There is no doubt that the new version of the Great Wall plan is absolutely effective.
You have to know the current Great Wall. It's only about less than a third of the way through, but it's almost 100% effective in this beast tide, and if the real Great Wall is completed, at least for a few decades, there's no need to worry about the beast tide of the Phantom Claw Monster.
When the government of Huaxia officially declared the end of the Beast Tide and informed the whole country and the world of the Beast Tide's losses, the day was regarded as a kind of victory day, despite the thousands of casualties.
Because the people of Huaxia know from the news media what kind of miserable situation it is like abroad at the moment.
Among the countries of Southeast Asia, the Philippines has almost been wiped out. The president of the Philippines is hiding in the United States, and he doesn't even know how many people have died in the Philippines.
Indonesia was torn apart, with the president missing and the military fleeing before the tide began.
Until the end of the beast tide. There are no ordinary people who want to stay in this country any longer.
They ventured on fishing boats to try to cross the Strait of Malacca and head north to Annam, trying to hide as refugees in the Dai and Khmer states. Of course, the final goal is naturally to make the Huaxia Kingdom safe.
Then there are the countries of South Australia and Western Europe, as well as the countries of the Mediterranean and the Apennines. Their experiences are almost the same as those of the United States, and the coastal cities have almost all been reduced to a paradise for ghostly claw monsters.
But it's a little better than the United States. In addition to the Eagle Country, there were at least some places to go from other countries, and they went all the way east, and the final goal was East Slavia and the countries of Central Asia, and even the country of China.
The heavy casualties abroad deeply touched the hearts of the civilians of Huaxia.
When the state of emergency was lifted in Huaxia, many people silently stood up and immediately returned to the construction site to continue to strengthen the new version of the Great Wall that was still under construction.
They want to build the wall as high and thick as possible.
In the past 48 hours of the beast tide, Huaxia Kingdom has completed the preliminary statistics of the casualties and losses of this beast tide.
2,848 were killed and 15,600 wounded, of whom 87 were warriors.
In addition, four warplanes, 29 tanks and armored vehicles were damaged, and many buildings were damaged.
The direct economic loss is as high as more than 30 billion Chinese dollars.
Of course, this data is seriously doubted in the media in the United States and Western Europe.
In particular, the media of the United States directly expanded the data released by Huaxia Kingdom tenfold, and also regarded the number of injured people as the number of deaths.
And then that's how CNN reported.
Despite the new version of the Great Wall and the early warning received ten days ago, the civilians of Huaxia have taken refuge in the interior at a depth of 200 kilometers, but after preliminary statistics, Huaxia still lost 150,000 people in the beast tide, and millions of people are still missing, and the economic loss has reached more than 300 billion meters of gold.
Of course, this data is only temporary, and according to Huaxiaguo's habitual concealment of reports, the relevant casualty data is believed to rise further.
This also proves that the new version of the Great Wall is not omnipotent.
But soon, CNN's report was immediately slapped in the face.
After a field visit, the reporter in Huaxia refuted CNN's nonsense quite awkwardly, and then the international version of Huaxia's announcement soon came out and circulated on Twitter.
The true death toll and losses are listed one by one. And there is also a database that can provide queries.
Under irrefutable evidence, CNN had no choice but to come out and make a statement. It was said that the data was misquoted, but they believed it. Hua Xia must have concealed the data of the death, so he didn't want to apologize.
The purpose of the people of the United States is self-evident.
This time, the casualties of the United States are too heavy, if the real casualty data of the Huaxia Kingdom is reported, it will be a devastating blow to the United States.
Others are not stupid, and they will definitely compare why there is so much difference in casualties between the two countries.
Then it is very simple to come to a conclusion about which country is safer.
Now is a turbulent moment in the international situation, and some large conglomerates have little confidence in the United States. Investment in the United States has shown negative growth.
There is no doubt that the performance of the United States in this beast tide will make investors further lose their trust in the United States.
This old empire has faded from the aura of any world leader.
In fact, until a week has passed since the beast tide, the United States has still not recovered from this huge disaster.
According to incomplete statistics, 1.32 million people have died, 8.54 million have been injured, and 46 military bases have been destroyed in this beast tide.
One hundred and seventy-six fighters were lost, and more than 600 tanks of various types were lost.
On the North Rice continent. There are still thousands of Phantomclaws lingering, and they have even penetrated into the inland safety states of Kansas, Missouri, and Wyoming.
Within a week, tens of millions of people applied for immigration.
The government of the United States, which claims to move freely, has to announce that it will strictly review the motives for migrating abroad.
Presidential candidates have come out. The Elephant Party has complained with great grief that President Aubrika and the Donkey Party government have failed to do so, which has led to such horrific losses in the country.
Of course, there are also candidates of the Xiang Party who directly target Huaxiaguo. It is believed that it is precisely because Huaxia Kingdom has built a new version of the Great Wall that the Ghost Claw Monster that was supposed to attack Huaxia Kingdom cannot go ashore. I had no choice but to retreat and return to the western Pacific. And landed in the United States, and the Huaxia government was the real culprit.
And there is still a lot of market for this kind of bizarre rhetoric.
And the candidate of the Donkey Party, Hine, simply said that there is evidence that it is likely that Huaxia Guo's conspiracy led to the occurrence of the beast tide of the Phantom Claw Monster, and Huaxia Guo himself has already prepared for it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Huaxia Kingdom had such a lot of experience dealing with Phantom Claw Monsters.
At the same time, the people of the United States finally broke out, and in addition to demonstrations, a national general strike began, and a large number of coastal urban civilians began to migrate to inland states with their families.
A large number of wealthy and wealthy people flew by private jets to Western Europe, which they used as a springboard into the safety of the hinterland.
The funniest of all is Carl Benson, a candidate of the Elephant Party, who attacked Huaxia before the Beast Tide and tried to use the Beast Tide to shake the world leader of the United States.
But on the fourth day after the end of the beast tide, he himself flew directly to the Sichuan and Shu regions of Huaxia Province, where he said that he would settle down for a long time as a scholar of plant research.
He also claimed that his maternal grandmother was actually Chinese.
Fortunately, Huaxia Guo did not refuse him entry regardless of his previous suspicions.
But no matter what, the rice people are completely finished this time.
No one expected that the second beast tide would spread so widely and severely.
Even Ning Yi didn't expect this.
The headquarters of the 32 Group in California was also attacked by the beast tide this time.
And one warrior and three employees were killed in this beast tide.
In this case, the 32 Group suspended its operations in the United States, and except for some Mi nationals, people of other nationalities were temporarily withdrawn to the Chinese Kingdom.
Almost at the same time, the Rohn consortium also quietly sent a delegation to visit the capital, Songjiang region, Haixi region and Xiangzhou region, and finally in the name of a material company under the Rohn consortium, invested 100 million meters in Xiangzhou region to establish Rohn Material Technology Co., Ltd., specializing in the production and research of crystal materials.
The Huaxia government and the 32 Group did not make any moves in this regard, and it seems that they acquiesced.
In this case, more and more Mi consortiums began to act quietly.
The twelfth day after the end of the second beast tide.
The Eastern Continental Alliance announced that future settlements will be in Chinese dollars, and will no longer consider using rice gold conversion.
On the fifteenth day, the countries of Western Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Mediterranean also announced that they would recognize the Chinese dollar as an international currency and allow it to be used as the unit of denomination in transactions.
Although it is not explicitly stated that the Chinese dollar is the first settlement currency, there is no doubt that the status of the Chinese dollar has been recognized.
For the United States, such a situation is naturally unacceptable.
Although the Phantom Claw Monster is ferocious, it can't defeat the rice country, as long as the rice gold is there, the rice country is still the world leader.
But when Mi Yuan's position is replaced, it means that the role of leader will be gone.
This is something that the people of the United States cannot afford.
The entire country of rice has fallen into a panic.
As many Mi people had predicted, many wealthy classes are already quietly moving their possessions abroad.
The target audience is, of course, Harris, Huaxia and East Slavia, which have large land areas and large inland areas.
In particular, Huaxiaguo, which has strong military capabilities, is the first choice for the rich people in the United States, because they soon found that as long as they are rich, they can live a good life in Huaxia.
A large number of Southeast Asian immigrants gathered around Huaxia Kingdom, resulting in a sharp drop in the cost of hiring people in Huaxia Kingdom, so as long as you have money, you can buy a good villa in the hinterland of Huaxia Kingdom, and then hire some Southeast Asian servants and housekeepers, and you can live at ease.
Of course, more people in the United States are still focused on the presidential election in the United States.
The people of the United States can't wait to build a version of the Great Wall like Huaxia to take revenge for their lives.
Therefore, although the presidential candidates know that the country is inexorably exhausted, they are also incapacitated.
And all of a sudden, these presidential candidates no longer choose Huaxia as the target of attack.
Because just a few days ago, the Huaxia government announced that the former CNN anchor, the guy who slandered Huaxia Guo for falsely reporting the death toll, was banned from entering the country, and at the same time declared Howason, a presidential candidate of the United States Elephant Party, persona non grata.
For the sake of their own future, they wisely chose to shut up.
Although they are arrogant and confident, now they don't know if they will have to learn from ordinary rice people in a few years and run to Huaxia to take refuge.
It's just that although the presidential election in the United States is imminent, the enthusiasm before the previous elections is gone.
More news is about where the Spectreclaw was found again, and how many people died in which place.
As for the U.S. election, although there are some people paying attention, every presidential candidate is hysterically shouting about how they will resist the Ghost Claw Monster if they become president.
It's a pity that these statements are all the same.
The rice version of the Great Wall project is still stillborn.
Just as the country looked lifeless, the 32 Group made a big move at this time. (To be continued......)
