Chapter 1200: To Great Britain
Chen Yuan: They only spent a little more than half a day in the United States. I arrived at noon on the first day, and at about 2 a.m. the next day, I was already setting off again!
Nearly 10,000 troops and various supplies, divided into 36 large transport planes, under the cover of 25 fighters, took off at night at the airfield where they lived in Regers.
After forming a dense flight formation in the air, the group flew northeast first and entered Canada under the cover of darkness.
Then it detoured through Hudson Bay to the Atlantic Ocean, diagonally southeast from the sea near Greenland, and flew to the United Kingdom on the other side of the ocean.
It took them nearly 14 hours to reach the British coastline.
It's still past 5 a.m.
Regers immediately ordered the pilot of the plane to try to communicate with the British by radio.
At this distance, radio waves can be transmitted even without a relay station.
"Emergency contact! Emergency contact! This is the command center of the joint forces of the United States and China. We were coming from China and the United States of America and were on our way to Warwick Airport in Birmingham, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Survivor settlements in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, particularly in the vicinity of Birmingham, are requested to respond as soon as possible. ”
"Emergency contact! Emergency contact! This ......"
On Regess' orders, the pilot of the plane immediately began to make contact. And the calls were repeated incessantly, hoping that someone on the British side would hear them.
At this time, in the telecommunications rooms of the survivors' settlements in many parts of the United Kingdom, the continuous calls of the American pilot were indeed clearly sounded.
For a time, many Britons, who had been asleep by the radio station, were immediately awakened.
After all, it's only five o'clock in the morning, and it's the sleepiest time of the day.
However, after hearing the contents of the American pilot's contact, they all came to their senses almost instantly, and they were all stunned and drowsy.
Then after a short moment of stunnedness, there was a sudden burst of earth-shattering cheers!
"Oh God! It's American! It's the Americans! ”
They all looked excited.
Because they felt that the Americans must have come to their rescue.
After all, the United States used to be the number one power in the world! If there is any country in the world that can solve the zombie crisis the fastest, they also think that it will be the United States.
And when the zombie crisis in the United States is resolved, then they will definitely rescue their most solid ally in the past, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as soon as possible.
However, they seem to have selectively forgotten that in the contacts of American pilots, Huaxia was also mentioned.
Maybe in their impression, Huaxia has nothing to care about at all!
Even their powerful Kingdom of Great Britain was destroyed like this in the zombie catastrophe, and Huaxia's strength in the past was so weak, and the population was so large, it should be considered a blessing that it was not completely destroyed in the zombie catastrophe.
But at this point, if they can calm down a little and imagine it, they may understand how wrong their subconscious thoughts are.
If Huaxia is really as they thought, under the attack of zombies, it has been beaten and almost completely destroyed. So how did they end up here with the Americans at this time? Could it be that the first time the Americans went to save was not their Kingdom of Great Britain but China?
But obviously, they are not in the mood to think about it at this time.
At this time, many correspondents had already rushed to the side of the radio station for the first time, and couldn't wait to pick up the microphone and shouted into the microphone: "This is the settlement of Otkorem in the west of London, we have received your contact, God bless, welcome to Britain!" ”
"Contact! Contact! This is Edinburgh, we are currently stationed at Edinburgh, there are 130,000 people, welcome to join us! ”
"This is Phoenix, east of Manchester, and we hear you, thank goodness, are you here to help us destroy the zombies?"
“……”
For a time, a large number of liaison communications were crowded into the communications command center of the coalition forces on the plane, causing the entire cabin to resound.
To put it mildly, in just one minute, at least 23 local survivor settlements in the UK have replied to their contacts. There are also two settlements near Birmingham. However, there is no nearest settlement to Warwick Airport.
And it is understood that the scale of these settlements that have contacted them does not seem to be very large.
The largest is Edinburgh, with a total of only 130,000 people.
In other settlements, there are few settlements with more than 100,000 people.
Most of them are between 70,000 and 80,000, and there are small settlements of a few or even a few thousand people.
Chen Yuan knew that this was related to the local national conditions in the United Kingdom, and Chen Yuan knew a little about it in the previous life.
Because the UK is also a country with a relatively high population density.
Don't look at the population of Britain in the past, it was less than 65 million, which is much less than the 320 million population of the United States, and even less than the 1.4 billion population of China.
But he's small!
The total land area of the United Kingdom is only about 240,000 square meters, which is only slightly larger than Shaanxi in China.
On average, the population density is 256 people per square kilometre.
This figure is far higher than the population density of 34 people per square kilometer in the United States, and even higher than that of China, which has only 198 people per square kilometer.
So after the end of the world, the survivors of Britain suffered!
Almost all of them are trapped near their cities, and they can't move an inch.
However, there are many medieval castles in the UK.
These castles have existing tall walls and even some cold weapons left over from the past as decorations, so the survivors concentrated in these castles and survived.
But because liquidity is extremely restricted, they are generally not very large.
And usually the castles in England are not very large, and generally do not live many people.
The largest of these is Edinburgh.
At this time, it is in the closest settlement to Warwick Airport, Warwick Castle.
In fact, the survivors here have already received contact from the Americans in the first place.
It's just that the correspondents here are more rigorous, and they first reported the situation here to the leaders of their settlements, so they delayed the time.
"America! You mean the Americans came to our Great Britain? And also to land at our Warwick airport? ”
Arthur, the lord of Warwick City, replied in surprise after receiving the report.
