Chapter 1708: The Milky Devil
"Students, today we leave the city and travel to the mountains and forests, I hope everyone must pay attention to safety and avoid danger." A young female teacher, wearing a sportswear, with a curved body and long flowing hair, looks like a girl who has just started working.
In Oregon, an ordinary middle school, it is the best time to enjoy the beauty of nature in the fall, and the female teacher takes advantage of Saturdays and Sundays to take her students out of the city and travel to the nearby mountains.
"Teacher, what's that?" A little boy asked, his hand pointing to the woods in the distance.
"Charlie, this is a pine tree, as you can see, the leaves of other trees fall in winter, but pine trees don't." The female teacher said: "We learned the principle of pine leaves in class, do you remember? ”
Tourism is not a simple tourism, in tourism, mastering more knowledge is the goal, American education, has always run through this kind of thinking.
The female teacher is good at teaching students more knowledge according to local conditions.
"No, I mean the top of the pine."
The female teacher stood up, pushed her glasses, and looked ahead, indeed, at the top of the pine tree, as if there was something extra? What is that?
As she was observing, she heard a burst of rustling footsteps, and when she looked up, several naughty students had already begun to run in that direction.
"Students, don't go over, it's dangerous there!" The female teacher shouted, but these students had always been disobedient, and now that they had entered the mountains and forests, it was more like they had let themselves go, and the secret in front of them was attracting them, and they were not willing to stop at all.
Little Charlie ran the fastest, although the steps were not big, but the frequency of the steps was quite fast, he was the first to run to the pine tree, and then, looking at the few classmates who were still running, he grimaced: "I found the things above, don't try to rob me." ”
As he spoke, little Charlie hugged the trunk of the tree and began to climb up.
"Charlie, no, come down, John, Lord, Taylor, Mitch, you guys, quick, get out of some." The female teacher was in a hurry, and while running in this direction, she shouted to a few students.
Who knows, these people did not listen to her at all, and when the governess ran out of breath to the bottom of the pine tree, several boys were looking under the tree, and Charlie had already climbed up.
Charlie walked along the branches, pulled the threads, and said loudly, "I think it looks like a balloon, yes, it's a balloon, and there's a hanging basket underneath, and you look at me and jump on it." ”
"Charlie, danger, come down." The governess shouted that she couldn't climb a tree, so she could only stretch out her hands and wait to catch Charlie if she fell.
Charlie jumped in a dashing manner and jumped on the hanging basket, and his beating drove the whole hanging basket to start shaking.
"Click." The branch suddenly broke, and the hanging basket with Charlie began to fall towards the ground, and Charlie, who was inside the hanging basket, looked at his front in surprise, it was a bomb!
"Boom!"
When the hanging basket touched the ground, there was a loud bang, and the entire hanging basket was blown away, and near the hanging basket, the female teacher and the primary school students who had just chased after them all fell in a pool of blood.
……
The ambulance flashed its lights and stopped next to the woods, and the police officers had already pulled up the cordon, and outside the cordon, a large number of people were looking inside in horror.
"I heard it was a balloon with a bomb in it."
"It's so pitiful, it was supposed to be an outing, who knew what happened."
"Who did that?"
Everyone is talking about it, and I am talking about it, while several reporters, standing on a high place, facing the woods, are taking pictures with a click.
Richard, a reporter for the San Francisco Evening News, had just arrived, and just half an hour earlier, he was covering the unidentified floating objects found in the sea near San Francisco.
Now, thoughts flashed through his heart, how did this balloon bomb appear?
It certainly wasn't released by itself, nor by Germany, but it seems that it was released from an island country across the ocean, and these milky devils will bring a big blow to the American people.
Well, tomorrow's front page is your own.
"Milky Devil"
When the enemy is about to perish, it must be very crazy, and the islanders have lost Midway and can no longer strike us effectively, and actually come up with such a despicable act of using balloons.
Today, in Oregon, several elementary school students and a female teacher were killed by balloon bombs, and this kind of attack on civilians is absolutely intolerable!
……
"Smack!" Putting down the newspaper, Roosevelt's hand slapped heavily on the table: "This reporter, is it a Nissi?" If yes, grab me! ”
Roosevelt was furious.
Obviously attracting attention, for the sake of the sales of their newspaper, actually create this panic!
If the people knew that balloons with bombs would float in the sky at any time, how would the west still live and work? They will face the end of the world, and they will not live in fear.
In the east, there is a threat of ballistic missiles from the Germans, and we have moved our shipbuilding industry to the west, and now in the west, we are facing the threat of balloon bombs, is the US Navy going to completely shrink?
"President, what this reporter said is just the truth." "We investigated, and that's exactly what happened," the secretary said. ”
"It can't be said that it will create panic in the whole country, there are indeed bombs, but the threat caused by balloons is quite small, and if people are disturbed, it will be a big trouble."
As president, Roosevelt had a very wide vision and saw the problem at a glance.
Unlike bomber bombing, balloons have no precision and can hurt only a few people, and so far, there has only been one case, but if it is spread on a large scale, it will cause panic in the entire western residential areas, which will be quite unfavorable to US industrial production.
At the same time, if the people of the island country know, they will definitely release more balloons, and it is also a troublesome thing to face balloon bombs every day, if they do not report it publicly, the people of the island country do not know, thinking that this method has no effect, and they will definitely not toss again.
Absolutely no publicity!
"Immediately submit it to Congress for approval to prohibit all news media in the United States from publishing information about balloon bombs, whether it is casualties caused by bomb explosions or reports of bomb discovery and capture." Roosevelt said, "Whoever dares to report it again will wait to go to jail!" ”
"Establish anti-air lookout posts in various places, give early warning, and dispatch fighter planes to shoot it down in no-man's land."
