Chapter 981: The Crisis of the United States
The attack on the coast of the United States was five hours later than that of the Huaxia Kingdom, and when the news of the attacks of the Southeast Asian countries by the Phantom Claw Monsters was overwhelming, the people of the United States were still quiet.
Of course, a large number of Mi people have long since evacuated the dangerous coastline.
Compared with the new version of the Great Wall that has been consolidated in Huaxia, the Great Wall plan of the people of the United States is still in the imagination.
Although the person in charge of the new version of the Great Wall project of 32 Group and Huaxia sent a capable team to participate in assisting the people of Mi to build their rice version of the Great Wall.
And the plan was submitted.
But at present, it is still stuck in the Road Traffic Committee of the House of Representatives, and the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party are still arguing for this bill.
Of course, the purpose of both sides is simple.
The Donkey Party wants to regard this Great Wall plan as a political achievement of the Donkey Party, because once it is built, it will definitely be a booster for the people of the United States.
But for the Elephant Party, the time is not too few days away anyway, and Aubrika will soon get out, and this rice version of the Great Wall project must of course be completed in the hands of the Elephant Party.
Therefore, the Road Traffic Committee of the House of Representatives, which has a large number of elephant parties, has raised many questions about the planning and design plan of the rice version of the Great Wall plan submitted by the Donkey Party.
For example, why a large part of the contractor was contracted to Huaxia Guo, why the design of some important nodes was submitted to 32 Group for evaluation, why the chief designer is Huaxia Chinese, and so on, these questions are very opinionated.
In their eyes, handing over these things to the strategic opponent of the United States, the Huaxia people, is a major threat to the people of the United States.
In accordance with the requirements of the elephant party. It is best for these contractors to be handled by domestic contractors in the United States, so that there is no risk. Because the Chinese people are likely to turn the rice version of the Great Wall project into a tofu slag project.
And it is very likely that all kinds of things that are not conducive to the security of the United States will be placed in the rice version of the Great Wall, and so on.
All in all. In a word, the rice version of the Great Wall cannot allow the Chinese people to participate.
Of course, the people of the Donkey Party are not vegetarians, but they just ask the people of the Elephant Party, are there any people in the United States who have more experience in building the "Great Wall" than the Chinese people, and whether there are any people in the United States who have rich experience in fighting the ghost claw monsters like the 32 Group.
It is necessary to draw lessons from our predecessors, and cooperation with Huaxia is the most correct choice.
But the people of the elephant party did not back down a single step.
Due to the large number of people in the Road Traffic Committee, the bill was not even submitted to the House of Representatives for a vote, and there was no chance of submitting it.
Under the bipartisan tussle. The rice version of the Great Wall project was repeatedly delayed, leading to the outbreak of the beast tide, the people of the rice country did not know that their own rice version of the Great Wall was actually a dead letter.
But of course, located in California on the west coast, under the leadership of the 32 Group and the Ron Consortium, a demonstration wall of about 700 meters was built.
However, the height is only six meters, and the thickness is far less than that of the Great Wall of the National Mobilization of Huaxia, which is only a pitiful two meters thick.
In fact, until the Ghost Claw appeared on the coastline of the United States. The Road Traffic Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress is still arguing over the rice version of the Great Wall plan.
Then, the beast tide came.
As the first ghost-claw monster washed onto the beach along the coastline, the Mi Army and Air Force, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately went into action.
Although their troops are not enough to defend all of the coastline of the United States.
However, in some important ports and beaches, the people of the United States still hoarded a lot of troops and firepower.
Heavy artillery, armored vehicles, and walls of fire were all used in an instant.
A ghostly claw monster that was sniped by the Mi army head-on. In a moment, there were also heavy casualties.
Countless ghostly claw monsters were suppressed by the fierce artillery fire of the Mi army, and they were beaten so that they could barely raise their heads.
Patches of ghost-clawed monsters were staggered by the rain of bullets like locusts from the rice army. In addition, the military first laid a lot of oil on the coast.
As soon as the Spectral enters the ambush circle, the oil is ignited. In an instant, the fifty or sixty-meter-wide ambush belt was burned into a sea of fire, and the Phantom Claw Monster even broke out of the ambush circle. Waiting for them on the periphery were heavy artillery and tanks of various calibers.
But the Ghost Claw, who had suffered heavy casualties, did not give up.
Even if the Phantom Claw Monster that rushed up in front was killed, the Ghost Claw Monster that came up after it still rushed forward endlessly.
Quickly crushing the corpses of his companions in front of him, he continued to move forward.
Although the artillery fire of the Mi army was fierce, under the impact of the ghostly claw monsters one after another, the defense line had to be pulled back.
But it still didn't work.
The combat power of the Phantom Claw Monster with countless casualties is crazier than the people of the United States imagined.
Unlike in Huaxia, the Phantom Claws encountered a wall that was too high to climb, and after encountering obstacles, they had to find a way to cross the wall.
In the United States, after the Phantom Claw Monster rushed up, all it encountered was a powerful firepower net.
Although many of them were killed, many more rushed over.
A huge number of ghost-clawed monsters are eating away at the defense line of the Mi army step by step.
The Mi army retreated step by step.
But that's not the worst of it.
What's more serious is that after more than an hour of resistance by the Mi army, many of the already weak defensive points along the coastline were lost.
Those places were undefended in the first place, so the Spectral Monsters rushed ashore almost as if they were no man's land.
As soon as they captured those territories, they made a roundabout turn and attacked the Mi line from behind.
This led to the fact that the Mi army was flanked in many places.
Two hours after the beast tide came, in addition to the defense line of the Mi army in the key defensive places, it was announced that it was lost in many places.
Unlike the last beast tide, this time the people of the United States have already taken precautions, so although these monsters have attacked the coast, ordinary people of the United States have already evacuated the coastal cities.
So there are very few civilian casualties.
However, the casualties of the Mi soldiers were extremely heavy.
In just two hours, one army division was disabled, three Marine brigades were scrapped, and one heavy armored brigade was routed.
More than 3,000 were killed and more than 10,000 were wounded.
Such casualties. It's simply unacceptable for the people of the United States.
When O'Brika received the news from the front, his whole mood was extremely bad.
The scale of this beast tide is much larger than the Mi people estimated. On the contrary, it is similar to the estimate of the 32 Group.
And the timing was just right.
In addition to slapping the Academy of Sciences hard, Aubrecca is most worried about now. What to do next?
Less than half an hour after the West Coast Beast Tide erupted, the East Coast began to erupt at the same time.
Aubreica immediately declared a national state of emergency.
Two hours later, martial law was declared.
Three hours later, almost all but some heavily defended coastal cities had fallen.
Fortunately, the civilian population has basically moved inland within 200 kilometers, so the number of civilian casualties has so far only been reported in the thousands.
Aubrica's eyes widened as he stared at the reported casualty figures.
100,000 people is a thread in his heart, if more than 100,000. The Donkey Party will be targeted, and he himself will be targeted, so he must defend this floor.
But seeing the current climb in numbers, his heart was broken at the moment.
At present, the death toll of military soldiers and civilians has exceeded 10,000, and the number of injured has exceeded 70,000.
And this value is increasing at an accelerated rate.
Judging from this trend, let alone 100,000, I'm afraid 200,000 is a conservative number.
Because now the defense lines everywhere are basically lost, waiting for the Phantom Claw Monster to really penetrate into the territory. That's when the Holocaust began.
Inevitably, the number of casualties will rise rapidly, not to mention that the current data must have missed a large number of deaths that have not been counted.
"What's going on over there in Huaxia?" Aubreka looked at the strings of numbers. I thought of another stalk in my heart, which was naturally the current situation of Huaxia Kingdom.
The country of rice is now in danger, but if the country of Huaxia is as miserable as the country of rice. Even worse than the United States, that would be good.
Compare the common people. Public opinion is definitely still in their favor.
"Huaxia Kingdom?" Walker Carlson thought for a moment, hurriedly took the phone and began to dial. After a while, he turned on the phone in his hand, as if reading a message.
"Mr. President, according to incomplete statistics, the number of dead and wounded in Huaxia has reached 736, and the number of injured may exceed 2,000."
"What? 736 people. The pen that was spinning in O'Brica's hand suddenly fell on the table, "Could there be two zeros missing from this number?" ”
"Mr. President." Walker obviously knew Aubreca's inner thoughts, and said helplessly, "I just confirmed it twice, and it is very likely that this number is still falsely reported, because the Huaxia government said that if it is killed by the Phantom Claw Monster, it will be compensated, so it cannot be ruled out that some people deliberately report false data." ”
"Hell, the beast tide over there has been more than five hours, right?"
Walker nodded, looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Eight hours and forty-seven minutes, to be exact."
"So, Huaxia Kingdom has survived the most difficult moment?" The pen in O'Brica's hand was almost broken in two.
Walker nodded: "According to the law of the beast tide, it is now a period of decay, and only a few phantom claw monsters have successfully landed in Huaxia Kingdom, but those areas are places with relatively few people, most of the civilians have also been evacuated, and their emergency warrior troops have arrived in time."
Hearing this, Aubreca's chest was stuffy again, and he almost didn't vomit blood.
The other party has been on the other side for almost nine hours, and only less than a thousand people have died, and according to this trend, Huaxia Kingdom will have four or five thousand deaths at most.
That's ten times less than the 50,000 people they claimed, ten times less!
On the side of the United States, it has only been more than three hours, and tens of thousands of people have already died, and this has just begun, and the most ferocious beast tide offensive has not yet arrived.
"Immediately order all the troops, snipe these bitch monsters with all their might, and don't you have any bait that the phantom claw monster likes, hurry up and drop it into the remote area, attract their attention, and don't let them wantonly invade civilians."
"And our warrior troops should also act immediately, and our casualties must be controlled within 50,000, 50,000." O'Brika said with a grim face, and the pen in his hand was finally broken in half by him.
Walker listened, and his face was embarrassed.
As the president's most important aide, he undoubtedly has the most comprehensive information.
In fact, the Phantom Claw Monster has invaded the Rice Island Continental Plain, and many places are for the Phantom Claw Monster, that is, a flat river, there is no danger to defend, ordinary civilians have no ability to resist at all except for hiding, and they want to control the number of deaths, unless those monsters themselves make a fool and leave, otherwise, a catastrophe is inevitable.
"Mr. President, we actually have another way." Walker spoke, "We can immediately sign an emergency mobilization decree, ordering the requisition of all the warriors of the big conglomerates and wealthy families without compensation, and sniping at the ghostclaw monsters everywhere with all our might." ”
When Aubreka heard this, he gave Walker a blank look: "You think I don't want to, but if I really do this, I will be ousted by those people in a minute." ”
"Now that the situation is urgent, although I have offended those big conglomerates, it is better than sending countless civilians to death in vain."
Aubrika shook his head: "This kind of bill, none of us will agree to it." ”
"Your Excellency, if you don't put it mildly, it's not a gratuitous requisition, but an emergency mobilization order, so that the warriors of the whole country can spontaneously organize themselves to deal with the invasion of the Phantom Claw Monsters, and there are at least 100,000 official warriors in Mirican, once this powerful force is operational, it will also be a huge help."
"Then do what you say, and draw up a draft for me right away." When Aubrika heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed, which was much better than shouting slogans.
"Those idiots in Congress are still fighting for the Great Wall project." Before Walker left, he couldn't help but speak again.
"Hell," said Aubreca, slamming the table and standing up, "we're going to end up like this, all thanks to them," he paused, as if thinking of something, and immediately continued, "help me arrange a speech, and I'm going to speak to the whole people." ”
Aubreka gave an urgent speech at the White House.
In his speech, he called on the people of the whole country to be strong and united, and hoped that the people of the country would work together to tide over the difficulties.
He swore that he would lead the country to minimize the losses.
The speech was a success, but the realistic data hit him to the bottom.
Five hours after the beast tide began, more than 30,000 people were reported dead in various parts of the country, and more than 17,000 ghostly claw monsters rushed into the Beimi continent.
Then the battle to defend the big city kicked off.
Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and New York are all besieged by Spectreclaw, and there are a lot of armed forces in the cities, but unfortunately they are of little use.
Soon, the first to fall was Portland, a city in Russia that still had more than 200,000 people to evacuate, and fell six hours after the beast tide. (To be continued......)
