Chapter 198. Great construction
The sun has appeared in the sky, jumping out of the barrier of the mountains, piercing the thick dark clouds, and bringing the warmth of the sun that has not been seen for a long time. The wind and snow that had lasted for nearly half a month had gradually subsided, and as long as the slight wind was still blowing, it rolled up the snow on the hills and turned into a vast amount of snow particles in the sky.
Despite the snowy sight, even the brown bears still hibernating in the mountains already know that winter is coming. Because the breath of spring has appeared with the warm sunshine in this land that seemed to be ruled by ice before. A subtle trickle of water has also appeared in the dark ravines, melting more snow and gradually moistening the plants under the earth, indicating the arrival of spring.
These trickles are the result of the melting of the snow layer of the rising sun, and the lower mountains of the Rocky Mountains still melt in the spring, despite the snow peaks on the main veins at the very high levels. It is also the huge river that is distributed on both sides of the Rocky Mountains, and the main source of water is the melting snow to form small streams, which gradually converge into rivers and eventually flow into the Pacific Ocean.
The Rocky Mountains have begun to wake up, and the season of revival is approaching, and the trickle has converged, and streams have gradually formed along the ravines of the mountains, encroaching on the bottom of the soft snow layer, just below the snow that cannot be seen below, and finally forming streams, which also accelerate the rate of snow melting.
However, if the former aborigines still live here, they are indifferent to the current season, and even slightly wary. The cold of winter still hangs over the mountains, and the sun has pierced the dark clouds. Dispersed the wind and snow. But the air was not filled with warmth, but with a deeper cold!
If you want to melt the snow, you need to pay for the heat. And when the heat in the sunlight is absorbed by the snow and forms the energy that melts itself, the heat scattered in the space is already pitiful. The sun is powerful, but it still has to pay a price to melt the snow in this mountainous area.
Like Liszt today, he has been entrenched in the mountains for more than four months. It was not only the base of the five caves that they occupied, but also the hills that surrounded the cave base and the fortifications they gradually built on the hills. Even if the Soviet army is strong. Even the U.S. federal government is afraid of it, but for Liszt, if you want to eat him, then you have to pay the price. The price of blood!
This is a dangerous time. Liszt and those young men of the Marine Corps, who doesn't understand? They had automatically entered the moment of seriousness, wielding sapper shovels and pickaxes, and digging vigorously into the slightly melted frozen soil, knowing that if they wanted to survive, they would have to pay hard physical labor.
No one complained and no one cared, and the high-intensity engineering work began. Even if there are blood blisters in their hands, they are digging tunnels and tunnels quickly and firmly. This is their intended goal. As long as important defensive holes are dug out on the surrounding hills and dangerous positions, then on the day of the arrival of the Soviets, this group of arrogant guys will be dealt a deadly head-on blow!
The 140-strong marines have now all been dispatched, and only a dozen people are stationed in the cave base, guarding important positions with real guns. And the rest, according to the opinion of Liszt and a few Soviet experts, used the pickaxes and sapper shovels in their hands, as well as the exchange of detonators-tubes, to completely separate the rocks deep in the mountains.
Liszt and the others are already opening up the mountain, using their own efforts to open up the base of the cave and the surrounding hills towards the depths. The thick mountains will be their greatest protection, even for the Anchorage Line. Even a nuclear bomb can't destroy an entire mountain, and even the strategic bombing of the Soviets is like a mosquito's bite, which is the wisdom that Liszt has memorized in his previous life, and the cave base he built is beyond the imagination of the whole world!
Even when he talked and discussed his ideas with Soviet experts who had some knowledge of strategic fortifications and geology, these gray-haired old experts were impressed by Liszt's ideas. Although there were those who were loyal to the Soviet and had so far not said a word about him, and others, fearing their own death, had acquiesced in the fact of cooperation with Liszt.
For Liszt now, these Soviet expert groups are not a burden, but a deterrent like a nuclear weapon, and their effect is very great. If you look at the importance that the Soviets attach to these expert groups, you can see that the heavy snow has stopped for three or five days, and no tentative offensive has been launched, and I am afraid that those staff officers are also figuring out Liszt's intentions.
After all, in the eyes of these Soviets, even if Liszt and their elite and powerful special forces have severely frustrated them several times, they are not even comparable to those Soviet experts who are top experts in various fields. They didn't dare to push Liszt too much, for fear of retaliating and killing after becoming angry, not to mention the officers who commanded the operation, even the command level in charge of the Canadian region, they would have to go through the whole thing.
This is also a little comfort for Liszt now, when they know that the Soviets are still afraid of these Soviet expert groups, they also have to seize this time to make their advantages greater. The cave base is their terrain advantage, and this terrain advantage can also become extremely lethal and safer through their efforts!
The silence of the Soviets was also a force to continue the offensive, and Liszt also understood that this was like a huge dark tide hidden under the calm sea. In order to ensure the acceleration of the progress of the project, he directly exchanged 20,000 points for two medium-sized excavators.
The surging and powerful force easily split the frozen soil that has been blasted by ****, and dug up the mountain that was covered with snow and countless gravel, only a small amount of deep processing was required by the soldiers behind, leveling the land and then building steel bars and pouring concrete, and the entire mountain could be transformed in one day.
But Liszt and the others started work in all directions, all the engineering tasks have been issued, no one is still chatting or in a daze, everyone's tasks have been arranged, and even the rest time at night, they continue to work with the lights, and the tasks they originally planned will be the truth as soon as possible.
