Chapter 050. Alaska

Retired soldiers of any country can be said to belong to the reserve soldiers of the active army. When the war situation is urgent, or when the scale of the war is to be expanded, they will be re-recruited by the state and become an active regular army again. After all, retired soldiers have received several years of rigorous military training, and after a few more weeks, they can return to their previous state of service, which is much more suitable than those recruits who have never trained and are sent to the battlefield after only a few months of training.

When the United States invaded Mexico, a large part of the active troops who experienced the real battlefield gradually retired in a few years of life. And now, as the oil resources of the United States and the Soviet Union are drying up and becoming more and more tense, almost to the point that both sides are secretly preparing for war, it has become a matter of course to re-recruit retired soldiers. In fact, within five working days, more than 100,000 soldiers who had retired in recent years were re-drafted, returned to the army to receive military training again, and then reassigned to the main force on active duty.

In fact, the U.S. federal government's military training of ordinary people has already begun, and whether it is television programs, radios, or roadside newspapers, there are certain hints about the clouds of war coming. If you look at the soaring number of members in the Rifle Association and the Hunting Association, I am afraid that those ordinary civilians are really scared.

In the previous Fallout series, the nuclear war between the United States and China in 2077 was only the ultimate means to finally detonate the powder keg. In fact, more than ten years from 2077 to the past, there have been countless local wars or military conflicts between the two sides on the surface, and there have been more than one covert confrontation between the two sides. If it weren't for the fact that neither side had tested the strength of the other, the banner of war would have begun long ago!

Located in Alaska, with the city of Anchorage as the center and the Pacific Coast Mountains as the auxiliary, the famous Anchorage Line was built to guard the security of the North American continent and the mainland of the United States. Of course, even in a world where there is no China now, but has become the Soviet Union, in the face of the Soviet terror of the steel torrent, the US federal government finally succeeded in building the Anchorage Line at the end of 2059.

This was the forefront of North America's defense against Soviet attacks, and all the weapons in service with the U.S. federal forces had already been transported with the construction of the Anchorage Line. And in this icy and snowy place, the heavy equipment units of the US Army, which are comparable to the elite of the Soviet Union's heavy equipment, have also quickly arrived on the shore of Alaska from the mainland of the United States with the help of naval transport ships, and have assembled in an orderly manner, and at the same time quickly went to their own defense area with the orders of the supreme commander.

According to Liszt's calculations, there were at least 30,000 troops massed in the current Anchorage Line, and 50,000 troops were to arrive in the next few months. After all, the terrifying torrent of steel of the Soviet Union has always been like an iron curtain over the whole of North America, and even in Alaska, which is now the so-called territory of the United States, it has been infiltrated like a sieve by Soviet reconnaissance forces along with the existence of the Bering Strait defense line.

"But this place is really a little cold."

Liszt wiped his nose, and the cold air seemed to carry tiny ice cubes, and as he breathed as if it had penetrated his trachea, he couldn't help but shiver instantly. His eyes followed the dense heads of the crowd into the distance, and the continuous snow-capped mountains were dotted with many green forests, just like green spots scattered in a white, which made him sigh with emotion: "This is, Alaska!" ”

Unlike California's mild climate, Alaska, which is already in the cold zone, is covered in snow and ice all year round. Wind and snow from the Arctic Ocean or Siberia cover most of Alaska's skies, and in fact, the so-called summer and autumn seasons here are only briefly green.

But it is precisely because of this climate and scenery in Alaska that it has a unique charm that is different from other states in the continental United States. However, the smoke of war filled the land, and the transport planes and armored vehicles also made the scenery of Alaska a little hideous. White snow can not only cultivate emotions, but also bury corpses with the biting cold hidden inside, and lush forests can not only look pleasant, but also make mountain jungle warfare extremely tragic.

"Alaska, the front line of resistance to the USSR!"

Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Liszt couldn't help but stretch out his arms, feeling the cold flowing down his trachea into his lungs, calming his restless heart. The hustle and bustle of the continental United States is like a rapidly surging dark tide under the surface of the sea, which seems to have no problems, but if you take a wrong step and fall into it, you will be engulfed by the fierce dark tide. If your own strength is not great or your luck is not good, I am afraid that the consequences are really difficult to imagine.

Although Alaska seemed to be on the front lines against the Soviet Union, it would be the worst battlefield in the event of a war. But that is only the surface of the surface, and it is precisely because this is the battlefield defense line blocking the front line of the Soviet Union that the American Federation and those frenzied scientists do not dare to conduct too many ****** experiments here.

However, Liszt's gaze was a little dazed, but it was not at a loss, but the airport was crowded with transport planes, armored vehicles and crowds, so he didn't know what he should do next. A large number of troops were assembled in a short period of time, and the disadvantage was that the temporary command system failed, and he looked at the dozen or so people who followed him, but he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said: "Okay, friends, I have to admit, it looks like we have to wait here for an unknown amount of time." ”

"I knew it, so I'm not in a hurry."

One of the young men in sunglasses smiled, his blond hair comparable to John's, when in fact he was a little more handsome than John. Especially the appearance of sitting on the backpack attracted the attention of several female soldiers passing by. And he didn't care, but chewed the gum in his mouth, tilted his head to look at the dense crowd around him, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's enough, I don't even know if I can have dinner in the camp." ”

They are all retired veterans, and they have been training together for three days at high intensity, although they are not friends, but at least a friendship has been established. And Liszt looked at this guy's somewhat dissatisfied appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, took out a box of chocolates in his pocket and threw it to him, nodded and said: "Okay Cassius, don't complain, after all, this was a civilian airport before, and the infrastructure is at least very perfect." ”

They had spent the morning on the Navy's transport ship, and had not eaten anything until now except for some breakfast with the seamen. Now looking at the chocolate in his hand, Cassius, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't help but smile, pointed to the sun that had set in the sky with his chin, and the still crowded and noisy airport around, tilted his head to look at Liszt, and said very sarcastically: "This group of people has three hours to arrange, and I thank God for the gift." ”

"Hey, Cassius, don't proclaim God's name in such an unorthodox tone."

However, before Cassius could finish his words, an equally dissatisfied voice sounded behind him. At the same time, a slightly thin figure walked over, looked at Cassius who was sitting on the backpack with an impatient look, and subconsciously reached out and drew a cross on his forehead and chest, trying to make his tone calmer: "As long as we use gratitude and peace of mind, God will grant us peace." ”

"Oh, my dear god, don't do that, I wish you could be quiet for a while."

Cassius's face suddenly showed some kind of helplessness, and he covered his ears with both hands to indicate that he didn't want to listen, but the exaggerated action made several well-connected guys around him laugh. But Cassius didn't finish his words, but shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't say it as a Protestant, our Blackhall family is a Mormon, and I will really beat you for God if you are like this." ”

The obviously religious young man next to him suddenly blushed, and just wanted to continue to refute something, but Liszt next to him raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He looked at the crowd in front of him who was gradually moving, and reminded them: "Okay, don't make trouble, there is movement ahead, everyone prepare, it looks like it's about to go." ”
