979. On the eve of the beast tide
Washington, D.C., White House, United States,
A high-level security meeting is taking place.
The meeting was attended by senior members of the president's staff, as well as representatives of the military.
White House Security Adviser and White House Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense, as well as Secretary of State.
Walker, the big butler of the White House. Carlson played a video in front of the conference table with a PPT, and the video was the battle video uploaded by the Xingye account to the official website of the 32 Group.
All the people watched the whole video with a solemn face.
The video is not long, only five minutes, and has not been edited.
The video shows the part of the Xingye's warrior and Ning Yi facing off against the Red Demon Dragon on the deck, and a sailor was filmed in the battle command room on the bridge.
Of course, the upload was approved by Ning Yi and them.
This video represents a historic moment for 32 Group.
When the video was filmed, it happened to be the most intense moment of the battle, and there were at least twenty red demon dragons in the sky taking turns attacking everyone on the deck.
At that time, except for the snipers on the bridge to block the Red Demon Dragon, the other thermal weapons had already struck.
So it was completely up to them to use long-range skills and part of Skynet and Ning Yi to fight with so many Red Demon Dragons alone.
The people who were injured also happened at that moment.
During the filming of the video, four green-level martial artists and two yellow-level martial artists were injured successively, but at the same time, the process of killing the Red Demon Dragon with long-range skills was also filmed.
Of course, the biggest protagonist is undoubtedly Ning Yi.
He dealt with the three Red Demon Dragons alone, with ease, and even directly killed one of them, severely injuring one.
In the short five-minute video, a total of three Red Demon Dragons were killed. Four heads were at least seriously injured.
This is definitely a record.
Therefore, after watching the video at this moment, Aubrika and his staff members were expressionless and their brows were tightly condensed.
This is normal, if the people on the Xingye are from the United States, they should be smiling. But at present, all the people on the Xingye are Chinese and are strategic opponents.
Although the United States is also cooperating with the 32 Group.
But no one wants their strategic opponent to be stronger than themselves.
"Are our people capable of doing this?" Aubreka rested one hand on his cheek and turned his gaze to the Minister of Defense.
The Secretary of Defense's gaze then slowly turned to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The latter looked at the others and found that he was the only one who really belonged to the soldiers, so he had to answer helplessly: "The God of War team we are forming may have this ability in the future." ”
"God of War group?" Aubreka shook the pen in his hand, "Tell me." ”
"Mr. President, that's right. We found that it is indeed difficult for ordinary martial artists to deal with some high-level demon beasts, so our idea is to form a battle team like the dragon slayer, but some changes will be made in the function, and they will only be used to deal with high-level demon beasts in the future. ”
"The current plan is that the cultivation must be above the yellow level. Focusing on the green level, we strive to form a strong special force of more than 50 people. The force would be under the Pentagon's purview. ”
Aubreka nodded: "What else?" Budget, when will the formation be completed? ”
"Our plan is 20 billion meters of gold, which is expected to be within two years."
Aubreka frowned.
Two years? Two years is too long for him, and two years later, the God of War team will be built, which will be the next president's political achievement, and who will remember that he led it.
What a man Walker Carlson is. I immediately saw the deep meaning in Aubrica's eyes.
Then he cleared his throat and said, "With all due respect, Your Excellency Charles, two years is for us. Will it be a little too long, the crisis of the beast tide is imminent, and it will take two years to form such a group, and we don't know what the United States of America will be like by then. ”
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shook his head: "Two years is still relatively fast, the dragon slayer back then, it is said that it took more than ten years to complete, and we still need to equip them with corresponding weapons, training places and various special equipment." ”
Aubreica waved his hand, stared at Charles and said lightly: "General, I have to remind you of one thing, the 32 Group has been established for less than two years. ”
Hearing this, Charles was stunned, and then lowered his head and replied in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Your Excellency President, we don't have such good resources now, and many people don't trust us, or don't believe in our ability. ”
Aubreka spread his hands: "If you need money, we can try to satisfy them." ”
"Mr. President, this is not just a matter of money, in order to reach that state, money is only one of the factors to consider, and more importantly, whether they are willing or not, and values." The Secretary of State spoke slowly.
"We can give them some special status, such as military ranks, and we can give them higher honors than the 32 Group, General, I want you to give me a faster plan, at least to start acting as soon as the beast tide is over." Aubreka said impatiently.
"Mr. President" Charles was clearly embarrassed.
"Alright, that's it." O'Brika interrupted him, "The next topic, three days later, if the 32 Group is not wrong, the beast tide will come, everyone report on our countermeasures, I have an internal document of Huaxia Kingdom here, their goal this time is less than 50,000 dead and less than 300,000 injured, you know that they have a population of more than one billion, so how much do we target?" ”
Everyone looked at each other.
Aubreka sighed: "Walker, in the assessment document you gave me last time, if it follows the pattern last time, we can accept the death toll of 100,000, do you think we need to change this number?" ”
"Your Excellency, Huaxia has completed almost one-third of the new version of the Great Wall." Walker said with some difficulty, "And our plan has not yet been submitted to Congress. ”
"Then what do you mean, our goals will only be more than those of Huaxia Kingdom?" Aubreka said, staring at Walker.
"Sir, we suffered more than a million casualties in the last beast tide," Walker's voice grew lower.
"This time. We've had a lot of days' warnings. Aubreka knocked on the table to remind Walker.
Walker nodded: "Yes, but even if we retreat inland, those monsters will follow suit, and the deeper we retreat, the deeper they will chase." When the time comes, we will still have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to drive them out. ”
Aubreca's gaze turned to the Minister of Defense: "How are our armed forces preparing this time?" ”
The Minister of Defense also looked hesitant, but he looked at the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles, who nodded at him lightly, and then said, "This time we are confident that we will give those damned monsters a head-on blow." ”
But Shire, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, immediately added: "The only problem is that our existing combat forces cannot fully deploy our coastline, so if there are monsters that leak in, we may not be able to stop them." ”
"Is there no remedy?" Aubrika asked slowly, turning the pen in her hand.
"Unless we mobilize the whole country now. A five- to six-fold increase in the number of Army troops, and at least 30,000 additional armored vehicles or tanks, would be an astronomical amount that Congress would not approve of. ”
The Secretary of State shrugged: "Even if Congress approves it, how can 30,000 armored vehicles be made in such a short time?" ”
Aubreka put down the pen in his hand, glanced at everyone a few times, and said lightly, "Okay." I don't want you to make any excuses, anyway. We must ensure that our casualties must be less than 300,000 and not more than Huaxia, otherwise, our world leadership will decline again, and I don't think you want it. One day, take your passports and ask Huaxia to take you in, right? ”
The crowd looked at each other again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time is a matter of national fortune for the United States of Milliamerica, and I want you to submit a complete plan at once within twelve hours. Our casualties must be kept within 300,000. Aubreka stood up and said in an accentuated tone.
At the same time, in the capital of Huaxia State, a meeting with almost the same content was also held in the senior leaders of Huaxia State.
At the meeting, a national mobilization was also carried out to deal with the next beast tide.
Two days before the predicted beast tide, residents of coastal cities in almost all coastal countries around the world, except for Huaxia, have basically evacuated at least 50 kilometers of the coastline of coastal cities, but of course, this migratory army does not feel safe now, and they are still moving inland.
However, due to the congestion of the route, many people had to be stranded halfway.
But no matter what, the coastal cities are almost empty of thousands of people, and they have become ghost towns.
Of course, there are also some outlaws and petty thieves who take advantage of the fire to rob and enter mansions that no one lives in, and loot valuables that others can't take away.
These are just some individual problems, and the bigger problem is that, according to incomplete statistics, almost 1.9 billion people in the world participated in this great escape.
And these billions of people don't know where they will go after the beast tide is over.
Many of the people who had fled, as well as residents of three to four hundred kilometers from the coastal cities, began to complain that their lives had been severely disturbed, and mass demonstrations and protests began to spread in the world's major coastal countries.
And soon, some protests and demonstrations turned into riots, and a large number of people who fled, because they did not have suitable shelter, directly began to turn into riots.
The police simply have no control over the situation.
Soon, armies had to step in and forcibly evacuate the refugees.
The day before the beast tide, the situation in various countries was even more chaotic, and what was even more terrifying was that the speed of the migrating army was still very slow, and the country of rice and Huaxia had already announced some indicators before this.
For example, the standard announced by Huaxia is that 50 kilometers of evacuation is an unstable safety zone, 100 kilometers of evacuation is a normal safety zone, and 200 kilometers of evacuation is a high-quality safety zone.
However, the standard announced by the people of the United States is that the evacuation of 100 kilometers is an uncertain safety zone, the evacuation of 200 kilometers is a normal safety zone, and 400 kilometers is the best safety zone.
The corresponding distance has doubled for the people of the United States.
The countries of Western Europe are basically the same as those of the United States, while the countries of Africa and the Mediterranean coast, southern rice, and Oceania are not easy to determine, and the territorial width of some of their countries does not even exceed 200 kilometers.
So the standard given by the governments of those countries is to run to a safe area on their own.
It is often these countries that are the most chaotic.
In some small countries, the government is even directly paralyzed, such as some small countries in central and northern China, where the heads of government simply fly to the middle of the African continent to take refuge in the name of visiting.
The abandoned citizens were in a mess, and in order to escape, the last way many people thought of was to dig the cellar and hide in the cellar.
But in fact, this method has been confirmed by many people in the last beast tide, and it is not very reliable.
For one, the Ghostclaw's ability to smell is beyond human imagination; Second, the Ghostclaw's digging ability is beyond human imagination.
A normal cellar can't stop the claws of a ghost.
The deepest lesson was learned in the Philippines.
A small family in the Philippines, with about 30 people, thought it was safe to hide under a three-meter-deep cellar that they had dug themselves.
But the Ghost Claw Monster cut a big gap in the door of the cellar, and in the end, no one of the thirty or so people was spared.
The neighbor on a high-rise building next door filmed the tragedy with DV, which has since made many people have great doubts about the protective ability of the cellar, which can easily turn itself into a turtle in an urn if you are not careful.
Of course, among the escape rules issued by governments to the people, cellars and bomb shelters are still preferred, but the premise is that they are thick enough and there must be enough food inside.
The second is sturdy tall buildings, as Ghostclaw Monsters are generally not willing to climb high, especially when squeezing narrow stairs.
Then the third rule, that is, to escape, run as far as you can, preferably in the dense forest, because the Phantron monsters are not very willing to go into the dense forest, which will affect their speed of action.
Of course, all the rules are useless, and the one that people in all countries believe in the most now is to flee, and they can flee as far as they can.
At present, the safest place is to go abroad or escape to places that are extremely deep inland.
But more than a billion people in the world can't do everything so quickly, and despite the seven or eight days of advance warning, until the day before the beast tide comes, there are still tens of millions of people in the world who can't escape the coast for various reasons.
They had to choose to hide in high-rise buildings, or look for cellars, and many elderly people with limited mobility were directly abandoned in their respective homes.
But the governments of various countries have nothing to do, and now they can only resign themselves to fate.
The time of the beast tide has approached step by step with the footsteps of the hour hand. (To be continued......)
