Chapter 60: The Beast Raid (Part II)
Due to the pitch-black exterior paint used by the giant airship of the Taiping Society, it was not so easy to detect under the cover of night, and there was no military equipment such as flares in this era. So, when the violent explosion roared in the suburbs of the city resounded throughout the city of Vancouver, the residents of the city did not immediately notice that they had been invaded.
Countless citizens put down the work at hand, and those high-ranking magnates also put down the girls in their hands, came outside the house with a small wine, and pointed at the fire that emerged outside the city.
"My friend, is there an accident at the ammunition depot on the outskirts of the city?"
Outside the baroque clubhouse in Vancouver, Sir Moldo, standing among gentlemen and ladies, asked his friend Mayor Faure.
Unlike most of the gentlemen and ladies around him, who were idle, even watching the explosion and flames on the outskirts of the city, Mayor Faure and the city hall officials next to him were all serious, because the safety of the city was the responsibility of their group of officials.
Others can relax, but they can't.
"Well, it's quite possible!"
Mayor Fore nodded, and ordered to one of the white guild attendants standing beside him.
"You go to the telegraph market of the clubhouse and see if there is any news from the suburban garrison."
The last time the colony of Naga experienced war was during the independence of America, when they formed the Naga Corps of St. George to help the mother country take the initiative to suppress the traitors.
At that time, St. George's Naga Corps fought bravely and skillfully, and cooperated with the intervention forces from the mother country, not only breaking through the capital of America, Washington, D.C., but even burning the predecessor of the White House, the presidential palace of America.
If it weren't for the Gauls of the Old Continent of Obarro, who were about to extinguish the American Independence Army at a critical moment, perhaps the current United States of America would not exist at all.
However, it can also be seen that the Naga colony has been a real peace for a long time.
And the invasion of the natives that happened three years ago, at that time, it was just about two dozen natives armed with spears and wearing grass skirts who came to rob, and they were not taken seriously by these big men at all.
Therefore, there were such huge explosions and flames on the outskirts of the city, and not a single one of the high-ranking people in Vancouver thought that they were being invaded by the enemy.
Soon, though, they will abandon this self-righteous thinking.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The explosions rang out not only from the outskirts of the city, but also from all sides of the city.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
The incessant sound of bombs falling, from far and near, was gradually clearly heard in the ears of everyone in the city.
Gunsmoke and firelight appeared in every corner of the city of Vancouver one after another.
The cries of children, the roars of adults, the screams of women, mixed with the crumbling of buildings and walls, rise and fall in the city.
If an explosion in one place can be said to be an accident, then the loud bangs around the city in all directions made these gentlemen with a little insight in the high-level of Vancouver pale.
"Your Excellency, the nearest explosion to us is in the garrison camp!"
A tall young gentleman with lipstick marks on his neck squeezed through the crowd in front of the clubhouse and complained to Mayor Fore.
"We, we may have been attacked!"
Mayor Faure, who had already been furious by the earth-shattering explosions around the city, turned his head and recognized that it was the son of a good friend of his family, an officer of the Vancouver garrison who was on a sabbatical period during this time.
Suddenly, his face could no longer maintain calm, and suddenly changed color.
"Mordo, and you, come and help me push these people away!"
"Escort me to the telegraph room, I will immediately give a mobilization order so that our people will all stand up against ······"
Around Mayor Fore, there was chaos in the square outside the Blue Blood Clubhouse, but he still managed to keep his composure and shout loudly, asking his friend and the rotating officer to come to his aid.
"Who placed the fireworks on top of the clubhouse?"
It's just that Mayor Fore, who was trying to dispel the panicked crowd around him, heard a sudden sharp female voice, and found that the crowd was surging and listened to it suddenly.
When he looked up, he saw that at the top of the clubhouse building, which was about 21 meters high, a cluster of crimson glowing fireworks appeared there with a straight and eye-catching white smoke drifting towards the sky.
"Oh my God!"
"So, what's that!"
"The Holy Lord is above, that's the devil, that's the devil!"
In one after another panicked screams, the clouds in the sky surged violently, and a giant beast comparable to a dragon whale in the ocean broke through the clouds and descended on the heads of everyone.
"Oh! O Holy Lord! ”
This sudden and terrifying scene was too exciting for Mayor Faure, and he felt only a cramping in his heart, and then his head sank, and he fell to the ground with a heavy blow to the shouts of Sir Moldor and the young officer beside him.
In the confusion, he saw the giant beast in the sky through the gap in his eyes, and in his line of sight it became bigger and bigger, ropes fell from it, and a soldier in a strange military uniform quickly slid down from the rope to the ground······
——————————————————
On the outskirts of Vancouver, in a dark green field command tent on a wasteland not far from the turret where the first block was attacked.
"Comrade Huang Han, commander, our giant beast airship has destroyed all the garrison fortifications in Vancouver, and the airship airborne troops have directly destroyed and captured all the garrisons outside the city."
"In addition, the Wolf Warrior Special Commando has successfully raided the Blue Blood Club."
"Capture Mayor Fore Davis, City Council President Charlie Verdun, City Hall Officials ······"
As soon as they received the news from the front, the communications soldier wearing an all-night headset on his head excitedly reported to Huang Han, the commander-in-chief of the offensive and vice chairman of the Military Committee of the Taiping Society.
"The operation was a complete success!"
For Hong Tiangui and other high-level members of the Taiping Society, it is a matter of course to easily take Vancouver City, after all, the gap in weapon combat effectiveness between the two sides is too big.
dozens of Taiping Behemoth airships laden with soldiers and bombs; Far better firearms than the local garrison in Vancouver; Add to that information provided by agents of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Taiping Society, who have been lurking in Vancouver for many days.
If it was 100 years ago, maybe Huang Han would have worried about whether there would be some transcendents in Vancouver who could ignore the rear-loading guns, and the blue-blooded nobles rose up to resist.
But now, Nacharia, which has been peaceful for a long time, because it does not want the United States of America to have multiple extraordinary forces coexist, decays faster than everyone thinks, according to the intelligence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vancouver simply cannot block the existence of ten rear-loading guns firing at the same time!
With the addition of mental calculations and unintentional calculations, it is simply very easy to win.
However, for most of the ordinary soldiers of the Taiping Society who experienced the Nineteen-Nation Alliance Army in their infancy and were rescued from the slave ship from Daqing, this battle can be said to have started their message, making them understand that the "foreigners" who were feared and feared by the Daqing officials turned out to be so vulnerable in their own hands!
"Good!"
"Order the ground troops in ambush outside the city to start entering the city to maintain order."
Huang Han told Chairman Hong Tiangui the good news of the victory in the Taiping Network, and at the same time loudly ordered the signal soldiers.
"After the ground forces took over the defense of the city, the Behemoth Airship Force repaired in place and prepared to go to the next city!"
