Chapter 277: Heroes Assemble (I)
Grains of sand fall from the instep of the walking foot.
The night air was chilly and fell on the old man's face, and after leaving the desert, the surrounding scenery was barren, and there was no light at all in the dark sight, which was unusual for approaching the edge of the big city of Los Angeles.
Marshall took Kane, a black man, and a few soldiers in the direction of his memory, and the closer he got to the edge of the city, the more unpleasant the smell came from the wind, which was the unbearable smell of blood mixed with it, and he couldn't describe the feeling.
After passing through a dead and silent town nearby, where it was difficult to see a single corpse except for bloodstains, the old man said, "How can this be?"
However, before they could get close to Los Angeles, a pale blue shroud of light illuminated the world, and all that could be seen through the light was the crumbling and shattered remains of buildings inside, like hell.
Someone wanted to rush over, but the old man grabbed him, he picked up a stone from the ground, threw it at the light curtain, and drew an arc of the stone in the air, and the moment he touched the light, it snapped, shattered and scattered, splashed towards this side, and hit his body with a faint pain.
"Is this an energy shield?"
For the United States, which is rich in science fiction films, Marshall has also heard some scientific research projects on energy in the Ministry of Defense, but they have not succeeded, and the current one is much more high-end than the research funded by the Ministry of Defense.
"I'm afraid there are no living people inside, and I don't know how many citizens can be evacuated by our notice. A soldier wiped the sweat stains from his face, looked around, and lowered his voice: "General, let's withdraw immediately, find our team, and fight back!"
Between the group, including the desolation in all directions, there was not even the sound of insects, there was an unusually silence, Marshall, who pursed his lips, looked at the ruins in the light curtain, nodded his gray head, and turned around to move towards the nearest military base of the Mi Army.
"I hope the White House will give the order for a counteroffensive as soon as possible. β
For now, there was only this one thing left for him to say.
On the afternoon of the day the news was delivered, in fact, there was already a hustle and bustle at the White House, and the administrators with countless confidential documents were hurrying from office to office, and when they heard the news of the unknown army, the president was having a brief video conference with the state dignitaries, looking at the message in his hand, and then said to the dignitaries in the video: "I'm sorry!"
He immediately called a meeting of military and political dignitaries, and when it was getting late, a second message was placed on his table, with only a simple paragraph on it - Los Angeles was attacked by unknown troops and fell!
Pictures taken by satellites were sent back, and a group of generals gathered around and saw that the originally prosperous metropolis had been razed to the ground, and a huge light curtain surrounded the huge ruins like eggshells, and in one of the photos, a circular sphere with a diameter of more than 100 meters seemed to be rising into the sky.
"What is this?"
"I don't know ....."
"And how many troops are there in Los Angeles?"
"I don't know. β
"Who the enemy is, you don't know, you don't know what is on the photo, what else do you know?!" the angry palm slapped on the long table, and the secretary general's heart tightened.
Then, he whispered, "That thing, now floating next to our satellite, can't photograph the other party's ...... at all"
"Your Excellency, I think we need detailed information to find out the number of enemies first, send a few vanguard troops to test the combat capability of the opponent's army, and then consider a large-scale mobilization of troops to attack!"
Someone opened his mouth to make a suggestion, and naturally some people objected and stood up: "I don't agree, the enemy is already standing on our territory and threatens the lives of American citizens, and we must destroy the enemy as soon as possible, instead of playing strategic games with them." β
This general is an admiral.
"..... hope that the president can convene the Senate as soon as possible to authorize the deployment of operations, and if necessary, I hope that nuclear weapons can be used..... after all, just in case!"
"The United States cannot become the second country to be hit by a nuclear attack! Even if it votes for itselfβ" There are also voices that loudly oppose this.
In the buzzing noise, the president sitting at the head looked at a group of noisy generals, and just as he sighed and closed his eyes, the secretary next to him answered a phone call and handed it to him.
"..... I understand how to do it, okay, that's it. β
Putting down the phone, he looked at the group of old men who were still arguing, and slammed the table again, and when the crowd fell silent, and when they looked over with red faces, the first president stood up.
"The war will be fought, and the enemy will be destroyed, but this is not something that the United States needs to bear, the malice of these enemies may be this planet, this time, we are not the savior, all the burdens, should be shared with other countries on this beautiful planet, and the news will be announced immediately, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming will relocate residents, factories, concentrate in the eastern region, and then build defenses in these states...... Also, remember to get a batch of enemy armor and weapons, and that's it, the meeting is dismissed!"
"The President....this ....."
Someone hesitated to speak, but was interrupted by the president over there: "I said to adjourn the meeting!"
When the people left and walked out of the conference room, the president over there suddenly roared: "Ah-" and smashed the ashtray on the table to the ground.
"These damn capitalists, damn Wall Street wolves!!"
That night, the message carrying this huge content was quickly released to the world through various channels, and Great Britain, which received the news, quickly assembled an army, and the ships on the coast stepped up the maintenance progress, after all, the United States in the west could not hold on, and they had to send troops in accordance with the alliance agreement.
When tens of thousands of troops were mobilized, the message of crossing the ocean flew into the hands of the eastern island countries, South Korea, and China with a huge amount of threats, like a tense nerve, and the strings were broken at this moment.
The sudden appearance of the army of another time and space made the father of the United States suffer, and the island country was like being struck by lightning, and successively saw the base of the Mi army in Okinawa and South Korea, and the fleet set sail, and the two countries did not know anything about the enemy's strength, but they still gathered troops in the country, and the streets also entered a state of martial law in wartime, and even the Tokyo special service group, which was only responsible for special events, also entered a state of standby.
And the red stone, which was originally a treasure, has become a hot potato.
At the same time, Huaguo's defense has never been relaxed, when the news came, it was blocked for the first time, but the rumors about the emergence of the otherworldly army still surprised the upper echelons, and then, the army and logistics ran wildly, extending along the coastline, and naturally declared that it was just an exercise, which made the bend province on the other side of the sea defend against the enemy on the other side of the ocean, and also worried about being shot in the back.
Dongfang Xu received the news from the bureau, sat in the living room of his home and was silent for a long time, and then picked up the phone and called Cai Zhao, his former deputy: "You inform your men, maybe you can use them, well..... I will inform the eunuchs in the south separately, this time it's not a joke, a group of people from the other world..... uh..... you can kill at will, no one will be held responsible." β
Hanging up the phone, he rubbed his cheeks vigorously, took a breath, and dialed a number again, which was to call the eunuchs south of the Yangtze River.
Chen Sha, who was originally on a rest day, received a call from the bureau, rushed out of the house with only short sleeves, and drove to Xia Yi's residence, the leaves of the sycamore tree in the garden had turned yellow and were falling, Xia Yi was not very fond of such a scene, and was sitting in the gazebo at this time, holding a laptop and a road blacksmith video.
Purchase weapons and add them to the order.
