Chapter 255: Call

Under the joint arrangement of Ms. Charlotte and Norman Osborne, the Thunder Rescue Operation was officially launched, with Gijoe under the command of General Colton and supplemented by the National Guard under the command of General Blix.

As the political core of the United States, the White House covers an extremely large area, covering more than 73,000 square meters.

Of course, this is the total floor area, and the actual construction area is more than 5,000 square meters.

This also means that there is an open area of nearly 100 meters between the White House and other buildings in Washington, D.C., and it is obvious that such a large open area will bring great trouble to the attackers.

The U.S. military was unable to enter the White House before, firstly, because they were afraid that the high-powered weapons would hurt the hostages inside, and secondly, because of the lack of cover on the offensive route, they could not enter at all under the strong firepower of the rebels under Sheffield.

Sheffield's rebels, on the other hand, occupy the White House and can easily spot enemies trying to attack from any corner.

So now the National Guard blockade can only be built 100 meters away, and the soldiers under Sheffield are at their respective posts, and watching those National Guards build defensive lines does not stop them, and even as long as the National Guard does not cross their guard area, they will not launch any attacks at all.

And the National Guard did not dare to act rashly, especially these rebels who occupied the White House, all of them were equipped with the most advanced second-generation power armor, while as the National Guard, they only had one generation of power armor, and if it was not necessary, they didn't want to rush up and die.

Behind the lines built by these National Guards, there are countless media outlets that are constantly reporting on them.

At this time, Sheffield and former Secret Service Director Martin Walker were sitting in the original presidential office, watching the news on TV about their occupation of the White House, eating cake and looking quite leisurely.

The cake was given by Martin Walker's subordinates, and it was supposed to be retired after this week, Martin Walker, as the head of the Secret Service, so his subordinates specially prepared a cake to celebrate the old chief.

However, not long ago, this beloved veteran of the Secret Service killed more than a dozen of his former subordinates with his own hands.

At this moment, a hot, heavily armed female officer and a male officer in power armor walked into the president's office, and the female officer was the Sheffield general's long-time aide-de-camp, Emily Rakva, and at the same time Chris said that his person, the pawn placed next to Sheffield, the black lily.

"Sir, it's all set up, everything is safe, we won't fight them, right?" Emily reported to General Sheffield and asked.

"Of course, as long as they don't cross the cordon, there's no need for us to exchange fire with them," Sheffield said, looking at the TV screen without looking back.

"They're not going to get past the line, at least not for the time being," Martin Walker said, then gestured to the cake in his hand and asked Emily, "Would you like a piece?" ”

"No, thank you, this thing is going to make me fat," Emily Rakva refused, but with her devilish figure, the reason was a little pale.

"Okay, so what about you? John Connor? Martin Walker glanced at Emily Rakva's foul figure and sighed, if only his subordinate Carol had such an explosive figure, and then asked another male officer.

"No, thank you, sir, I have diabetes" The male officer named John Connor similarly refused.

Of course, Martin Walker just casually asked.

"It's been so long, and those guys outside haven't contacted us yet, wouldn't they be able to work without you and these people in the White House?" At this time, General Sheffield asked Martin Walker.

"I guess they're all grabbing command right now, you have to know that these politicians always like to do things that are out of place when it's not in place, and that's why we're here, isn't it?" Martin said as he scooped a large mouthful of cake into his mouth.

"That's right, but we're not like them, and it's not good for us to keep going on like this," General Sheffield said solemnly.

"Uh-huh, then what do you want to do? Now the people who can call the shots are basically in our hands, and if those people outside are not sure about the person in charge, even if we ask for it, they can't call the shots, right? So we can only wait, and it is not easy to lose the initiative this way, don't worry, I am better at negotiating this kind of thing than you" Martin Walker said as he put the finished cake plate on the president's desk, and then looked at John Connor next to him, "The cowboy (president) and those two enthusiastic citizens haven't been found yet?" ”

"I'm sorry sir, we've searched the White House inside and out, and we haven't been able to find any trace of them," John Connor said with some surprise.

It's really embarrassing to say, there are more than 5,000 of them, although most of them have to guard the key defensive positions, but there are still a lot of people left, and they are all the elite of the elite, but they can't find three people hiding in such a big White House.

"They're not going to run through those tunnels, are they?" Sheffield said with a frown.

Compared with the ground part, the underground part of the White House is much more intricate, with a lot of underground passages extending in all directions, and has a lot of legends, so many tunnels, if someone wants to hide, don't say that there are only 5,000 people, even if tens of thousands of people scatter it, they may not be able to find it.

"Impossible, although there are a lot of tunnels under the White House, but there are only a few main exits to the underground, I have already sent someone to seal it and place the surveillance, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape to the bottom, and if they have really run through the tunnel, they would have run out at this time, then what awaits us, I'm afraid it will be saturation bombing" For the possibility proposed by Sheffield, Martin Walker said nonchalantly, "If you want me to say that your people are useless, you can't even look at the person, and you were rescued."

Martin Walker's words made Sheffield's face a little ugly, but what the other party said was the truth.

Originally, his subordinates had already captured the president, but they were abducted by two people.

According to analysis, one of those two people was just an ordinary staff member of the White House, and the other was just a tourist, but at that time there were four heavily armed and experienced soldiers on his side.

is such a comparison of strength, his own men actually lost, all four soldiers were killed, and the other party left the president unscathed, what else can Sheffield say?

Of course, General Sheffield didn't know that the two ordinary people he thought were really not ordinary people.

"No, you can't go on like this, keep looking for me, knock on every wall, every floor, even if you tear down this building, you must find them for me," Sheffield ordered again.

"Yes, sir," Emily Rakva and John Connor, who heard this, looked at each other helplessly, saluted and prepared to leave.

And at this moment, the phone on the president's desk rang.

Sheffield and Martin Walker glanced at each other, both looking incomprehensible.

This is the White House, not anywhere else, and all calls are single-line encrypted, so there are no outside calls coming in at all. So there is only one possibility that can get into the president's office, and that is that those guys outside finally know how to contact them.

So under the gaze of several people, Martin Walker turned on the video that came with the phone and connected the phone.

In the next second, Ms. Charlotte's image appeared on the video call.
