Chapter 403: I Shoulder the Responsibility
The huge aerial beast fell diagonally all over its body.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a single destroyer to crash in bustling New York.
Skyscrapers are fireproof, windproof, and earthquake-proof, and there will be absolutely no impact protection design.
The giant beast crashed to the ground, and its huge body smashed a single-story building with a single floor area, at least 5,000 square meters, and a 30-story high, in an instant. The upper half of the collapsed building suddenly slammed into another nearby building, causing a chain collapse that was almost dominoes.
It was only after hitting the fourth building that he barely stopped.
The top half of the second building was backlogged and fell to the side of the road with the momentum of the sky falling apart. Flying debris swayed several streets away. The whole of Manhattan, New York, seemed to make a painful sound at that moment.
Even more terrifying was yet to come, the wreckage of the building seemed to have smashed the structure between the surface and the subway, and the small half of the street began to collapse, and the subsidence of the ground spread in all directions layer by layer, and as long as the foundation was not too deep, all the houses were overturned one after another.
The falling sea lion-like behemoth pierced through a building and continued to advance on the ground, with no signs of momentum. Not to mention the large and small cars that have been shattered under its lifeless body. Wherever it passed, it was like a knife slashing butter, easily cutting and damaging buildings along the way.
The American driver on an M247 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun reversed like crazy.
At this moment, these GIs only felt that the heavens and the earth were overturned, and as long as the guys who were not fixed in their seats, they all fell on a unstable footing.
In the midst of the screams of the soldiers, the guy in the gunner's position watched in despair as an overwhelming shadow pressed against him.
The scene looked a lot like a tsunami, except that instead of a thick ring carapace. The wide street crumbled and shattered under the crush of the behemoth, and then the anti-aircraft tank was swept under it, and only a ball of fire erupted before it was crushed and swallowed by the corpse of the behemoth.
The horror of death is imminent.
At the end of the street, the American soldiers in the street fort left their positions like ants and fled in all directions.
Some fled in vain along an open road, others cleverly hid in buildings near the intersection.
But how could they be faster than the destroyer-class fallen behemoths, and their escape only made them die a moment later than their previous colleagues in the anti-aircraft guns.
Originally, the major command posts of the U.S. military saw that they had finally shot down the enemy behemoth, and they were cheering constantly, but at this time, the pictures transmitted from various drones made the soldiers silent.
It's miserable.
The United States is the most powerful country on the planet, and its military spending is the sum of the next 2 to 9 places.
It's gratifying to finally break through the protective shield of the enemy behemoth, but the price is too terrible. Dozens of missiles, the cost varies, smashing 100 million is counted, and several buildings are lost.
The loss here alone will be hundreds of millions.
Not to mention the group of guys on the council, anyone with a little common sense can't be happy.
At this time, Peggy's avatar lights up on the vice president's communication screen.
"Mr. Vice President, what happened in New York is certainly a tragedy. However, this is not the time for our hearts to ache. This is a critical moment for the survival of humanity. If we fail, we will lose not just one New York, but the entire planet. ”
Peggy Carter, as a veteran politician who has been mixed up from the Second World War era to the present, if she wants, it is probably not a problem to be the president of the Senate. That's what qualifications are.
It turns out that the historical Nick Fury is a younger brother in the eyes of Washington.
Peggy is an existence at the level of your old lady.
The vice president is a full 20 years younger than her, and seniority is what it is. A generation younger, the other party still looks young and beautiful, and the vice president is also desperate.
At this time, the situation changed again.
More Zetarian airships are highlighting portals.
Even though the U.S. military installed anti-aircraft guns on the roof of every building in New York City, and even pulled out the old guns that had been mothballed after World War II in order to increase the density of the firepower network.
But in the face of sheer quality and quantity, the blockade quickly failed.
There are too many enemies.
There are more than 5,000 small airships with ultra-high maneuverability.
What a concept it is.
At this point in time in 2012, the US Air Force only had 370,000 personnel, and the number of tactical aircraft announced was only more than 2,300.
Now the number of Zetarians has more than twice the number of aircraft of the old US Air Force, and it is still increasing, and there is no limit in sight.
Each airship shows no less combat power than a standard gunship.
On the scene, the two sides exploded each other.
The old American anti-aircraft artillery hits the small and medium-sized airship, and the airship will definitely explode.
In turn, the laser cannon of the Zetarians also hit the soul with one shot, blowing up the entire anti-aircraft artillery and even the people into the sky.
New York's improvised air defense network is declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Such a terrifying number of airships suddenly made the top brass of Washington desperate.
Not to mention, from the other small portals, there continued to be the same destroyer-sized flying beast as before.
Suddenly, the president came online. While the May Festival was cleaning up Amora, the president woke Hawkeye up. After some examination and glucose dripping, the president, who was tossed miserably, barely recovered.
"It's a pleasure to see you well, Mr. President. So said the vice president. It's also a formulaic greeting.
President Richard waved his hand: "I know how many stupid things I did when I was being controlled. Compliments are exempt. Tell me the truth, is the situation getting to the point where you want to use a nuclear bomb?"
The vice president looked around and saw several three- and four-star generals nodding their heads: "All the members of the military council agree that – yes! Although dropping a nuclear bomb may not be effective, at least it is an opportunity." ”
President Richard was pressing: "New York...... Can't hold it?"
The vice president dotted on the video screen, and the screen was full of signs symbolizing the loss of contact, and he looked heavy: "We have lost New York." ”
The president took a deep breath: "I know that in the last few days, I have become a disgrace to America. But at least the responsibility for bombing New York with a nuclear bomb is on my shoulders!"
"Shhh
The dignified old American president, if he goes to tap dance Maozi, whether he comes back alive or not, he will definitely become a laughing stock for the rest of his life. From the point of view of the state, this is more shameful than the president drowning in the toilet.
However, at this critical juncture, it was this president who wore the hat of shame and shouldered the crime of destroying his own city, what a heroic act.
Heroes emerge from troubled times.
Richard may not be destined to become a hero, but his courage to take responsibility will undoubtedly leave a strong mark on his history books.
