Chapter 130: Borrowing Grain
George stretched his arm forward, "It's time for victory, please, Lieutenant General Patch." ”
"Please, Mr. President. ”
Patch didn't take a step forward, and saw George striding into the White House, smoking a cigarette, looking up at the white palace, and saying to himself, "There is only one winner." ”
George entered the armored room with the soldiers and announced to the officials in public, "You have been arrested." He turned away in a grumbling voice, wandering around the president's office, where the floor was full of bricks and broken glass, with bookcases crooked in the corners, and he tossed the photo of Woods on the table into the trash and picked up the report on the floor.
"God, the country is only an empty shell. ”
After a brief tidying up of the office, the interim government began its work, and Secretary of Defense David and the newly appointed Vice President Patch were urgently summoned.
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw George sitting in a chair, his brows couldn't be dissolved, and he handed a report to the two, "The country's food is in a hurry." ”
David straightened up and said to his superiors: "Mr. President, I will now gather my subordinates to clear the Black Panther Gang, and I will definitely take back the stolen national grain." ”
George touched his forehead, "That's the only way to do it." ”
"Wait. ”
As soon as David turned around, he was stopped by Patch, this guy was only a bureau chief a few minutes ago, lower than the secretary of defense, and now he can call the secretary of defense directly.
"What instructions does the Vice President have?"
Patch didn't answer, but turned to George, "Even if we get this food back, it will only last for a while, and we must have a long-term survival strategy." ”
George leaned forward, "Speak quickly." ”
"At a time when food is scarce around the world, and in the next year, half of all people will die because they don't get food, so I have to borrow food from other countries to avoid that in the United States. ”
"Woods has already walked this path, and it doesn't work. George said, "Now that food is more expensive than gold, I wonder if any country is willing to lend it to us." ”
Patch smiled, and turned his gaze to David on the side, "There are powerful American troops here, why worry about not eating and drinking." ”
David was stunned, "This is the behavior of robbers." ”
Patch patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, it's always been our way to eat the jungle. ”
"We can't start a war just to grab food. ”
"Don't be stupid, do we still do less of these things? Iraq, Afghanistan, there is no war for resources. For the sake of freedom and democracy? Don't laugh to death, that kind of excuse can only deceive children. Patch walked around him to a flag hanging on the wall, "How can we run to such a desolate place and throw it* without return, knowing that one * costs more than a million dollars." ”
"That being said, blatant snatching will attract condemnation from other countries. ”
"Condemnation is nothing compared to hunger. ”
David turned his gaze to George, "Mr. President, we can't do that. ”
"David, we can't do it any other way. "If you can't do it, I'll let someone else take your place, and in order to prevent that from happening, you must mobilize your troops, right now." ”
David nodded stupidly, walked out of the office, and stopped outside the door for a long time, "This is crazy. ”
"Patch, what's next?" George stepped out of his chair and walked over to him, the two facing the American flag.
He puffed out a cigarette and said, "The troops are divided into two directions, attacking Mexico and Canada respectively. ”
The streets are full of cars, and two young boys kick the ball and shuttle from car to car.
The ground began to shake, and at the end of the street appeared a tank with a roar of steel tracks, flattening the cars on the road and coming towards them, followed by two groups of soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a * in his hand.
The two children picked up the ball and stood on the road to watch the tank approach, "Kodo, this is much more than on TV." ”
"It's so cool, does it fire?"
A woman pushed open the door and shouted to the children in the street, "Kordo, Leon, come back!"
The child ran into the house with the ball in her arms, and the woman glanced at the approaching army, slammed the door, and fastened the three locks.
She huddled in the corner with her two children in her arms, and when a knock followed, she grabbed Kodo, who was about to open the door, and told them to be silent.
"Ma'am, please open the door, we see you. ”
The soldier knocked twice, twisted the doorknob, and locked it tightly.
", these guys won't cooperate, Ryan. He waved behind him, and a teammate armed with a shotgun-gun stepped forward, the muzzle of the gun pointed at the door lock, and bang, the lock cylinder exploded into metal pieces, and a transparent hole appeared in the bed.
The three men in the room trembled as the door was slammed open, and at once four soldiers with arms entered, who were rummaging things around the room, ignoring the mother and son in the corner.
"Ryan keep an eye on them, Ronda, Fell, you go into the room. Said the soldier wearing dark goggles.
"Yes, Captain. ”
He walked into the kitchen alone, with half a bottle of cooking oil on the stovetop, unzipped and tucked away in a camouflage backpack. There was a layer of oil stains in the blackened pan, and when it was picked up and smelled, the smell of a frying bottle remained, and the upper and lower doors of the refrigerator were opened, and the shelves were empty.
Ryan walked in the living room with his gun in his hand, stepped on a ball under his feet, picked it up in his hand, and the child in the corner tried to rush over, but the woman pulled them back.
"Do you want it?" Ryan held the ball in one hand, paused in the corner, and looked down at them through goggles with a pair of blue eyes, "Tell me if you want, where to hide the food?"
The woman shook her head, "We don't have food. ”
Ryan put the muzzle of his gun to her forehead, "Shhh ”
The two children looked at each other and didn't snort.
"Children must not lie, or the devil will take your mother away. Ryan grimaced at them with the corners of his mouth.
The mother held them tightly in her arms, her eyes glazed over the large-caliber guns, but the soldier in front of her was attracted by the painting on the wall, a pastoral oil painting, which had been bought for two coins at the flea market last year.
The soldier stared for a moment, tore off the painting, pulled out a steel dagger, inserted the tip into a small hole in the wall, turned it twice, and dug out a piece of copper, "Hell, captain!" he cried out.
The companions came out of the various rooms and gathered in the living room.
"Look. Ryan handed the brass to the captain.
"It's shrapnel from AK guns. The captain said, "Damn, these guys are one step ahead." ”
Ryan lifted the steel helmet on his head, "It's the Black Panther Gang again, they have collected Mexican supplies like locusts, and there is not much left for the US military, we are all struggling under the food and clothing line." ”
The captain threw away the shrapnel and said to the team, "Let's go, there is nothing of value to be found in this area." ”
"Hopefully I'll find chewing gum somewhere next. ”
"I prefer a cold beer. ”
The team members moved closer to the door as they spoke, but the captain suddenly stopped, and everyone was blocked in the house.
"No, the pancake smell in the kitchen......" he remembered the pot he had just used, and turned back, staring at the mother and son in the corner, "You guys are well hidden." ”
The woman shook her head repeatedly, and Ryan walked over, put the ball on top of her head and said, "Hold it." ”
She held out her trembling hands and held the ball on her head.
"Don't worry, I'm a well-known sharpshooter in the team. Ryan stepped back four meters, leveled*, and squinted at the ball, "Unfortunately* is shooting a ball of steel bullets, and they will spread out in all directions when they are discharged, whether they are towards the ball or towards your head, I can't guarantee." I'm only going to give each of you one chance, or someone who is lucky enough to survive. ”
His finger was on the trigger, and the woman pointed to the ceiling and shouted, "Wait. ”
He smiled and lowered the handle of his gun.
"Fell, Ronda. The captain waved for the other two to check.
There was a handprint on one of the ceiling slots, and Fell brought a chair to it, and Ronda stood on it, his hands on the checkered board, and his head sticking over the flowers.
The teammates tilted their heads and saw Ronda reach in and pull out a bag of vinyl bags.
They gathered around and untied the bag, revealing white powder.
"It's flour!" said Fell, bending over.
Ryan took out the dagger, picked out a little powder, and licked the blade with a red tongue, "Phew, the purity is very high, it's genuine." ”
". The captain kicked it away, and the powder was scattered white.
Fell drew his pistol, and with a bang, the child on the left fell into his mother's arms.
"Nope. The woman covered the child's back, and blood oozed from her fingers, and she kept shaking, and he could not wake up.
The pistol was aimed at the other child, "That's enough." Ronda pressed the chamber and snatched his teammate's pistol.
Everyone bowed their heads, and the captain glanced at the dead child and said to the weeping woman, "We are a step too late to make it to your last supper." ”
The child in his arms gradually became cold, and the murderers swaggered out the door as they chatted about last year's baseball game.
As the sun sets over the dense buildings, tanks puff up a puff of smoke and the Stars and Stripes hoist in the streets.
Ryan touched the back, which was empty, and ran to the front of the team, "Captain, we are short of food, please breathe reinforcements to the headquarters." ”
The captain said as he walked: "Ryan, instructions have been given from above, all expatriate troops will not be reloaded, and we must solve the food problem on our own. ”
"Mexico was ransacked by the Panthers, we couldn't find enough food, everyone was hungry, and it wasn't long before someone fell. ”
"If you find food, you have to hand it in, and if you can't find it, you can only starve, this is the hunger policy of the superiors. "We left the city and headed for the township, and perhaps those remote places were not robbed by the Panthers." ”
Ronda walked at the end of the line, "Oh. He crouched on the side of the road with his stomach clutched, his face contorted.
The captain rushed over, and he said that he had a stomach problem and needed to make it easier. With permission, he ran into an alley, waited for the group to go far, and walked back a little back to the house he had searched for.
Mother and son curled up in the corner, Ronda's hand reaching into the ceiling and pulling out a large loaf of bread. He pointed his pistol at them, "Thank you for not snorting just now, but I don't like to dine under the gaze of others." ”
Bang bang
