Chapter 053. Sofitel
Apparently it was a well-defended bunker complex, and when Liszt stepped off the tarmac, he discovered the extraordinary scale of martial law. And in the patches of permanent defensive pillboxes made of reinforced concrete, all the buildings were half-hidden in the mountains, and the heavily armed US Federal Army was standing at various points with rifles, and from time to time patrols walked by, watching Liszt and these strangers vigilantly.
The howling cold wind whipped up fine snow particles from the snow-capped mountains in the distance, causing a layer of snow to fall on the command post in the middle of nowhere. Liszt and Leslie next to him only walked silently towards the front, flanked by a group of soldiers to guard or monitor, and every time someone wanted to say something, they were answered by the cold wind whistling by, or the sound of their heavy breathing in the wind.
In this base composed of the command post and the bunker, all the voices seemed to be extinguished in the howling of the cold wind. No one spoke casually, even with a certain solemnity and vigilance in their eyes. Because this is the most important command seat of the Anchorage Line, it is connected to the communication and command of various points. Once the Soviet scouts that can be seen everywhere in the Alaskan snowfields appear here, then the defense line, which has been built for several years and cost tens of billions of dollars, will be declared to collapse!
Only God knows how many Soviet troops were hidden in the snowfields and glaciers of Alaska. If you look at the troops stationed in various areas of Alaska, you can see that the defense zone in the face of the Soviet threat was withdrawn again and again, and finally 90% of Alaska was abandoned, and finally all of them retreated to the newly built fortifications of Anchorage on the coast to ensure that they could hold off the Soviet attack.
But Liszt knew it was all futile, a ridiculous plan that remained on paper. In the game, the Chinese army, which has been accumulating strength in Alaska for several years, brazenly launches an attack in a desperate situation of lack of oil resources, and frantically sweeps away all obstacles in front of it like a raging tsunami. Even the Anchorage Line, which spent a huge amount of time and money, completely fell after only a few symbolic strokes, and did not even have time to resist enough time for New York City, as the capital, to carry out a full withdrawal!
"Mr. Liszt, I know you'll be coming, but I'm glad to see you again."
Walking to a semi-bunker, a dozen heavily armed soldiers were standing with M4A1 assault rifles. When they saw Liszt approaching, they immediately dispersed and blocked their way to the bunker. However, the person in charge lifted the windshield on his face, smiled at Liszt and opened his hands: "I was in that place not long ago, and I haven't had time to say thank you yet!" ”
The cold wind blew his eyelids a little bit, but Liszt felt a little familiar when he heard the voice. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the face that lifted the windshield on his face, but he also showed a smile, and also walked towards him with open hands, the two hugged fiercely, and said with a very emotional smile: "Sofitel, it's a pleasure to see you here." ”
He was the commander of E Company, Sofitel, who was working together in the underground research institute. They had indeed braved many dangerous places together, fought side by side under the threat of deathclaws, and although they were not very familiar, they did not hinder their friendly friendship. Sofitel didn't say much, but glanced at Major Leslie next to Liszt, nodded and said, "General Bunard is waiting for you inside, hurry up and get in." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to see Liszt's shivering appearance, and his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly. His gaze swept over Major Leslie, who was still smiling and not speaking, and turned to one of the soldiers next to him and ordered, "Go get a windbreaker and put my name on it." ”
"Understood." The soldier immediately put away his weapon and walked quickly towards a side path. After checking that everything was correct, the other soldiers also dispersed to both sides, continuing to sweep the surrounding environment with vigilant eyes, for fear that something would happen. And Sofitel looked at Liszt's somewhat puzzled appearance next to him, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Because since General Bunard came to the Anchorage Line, he has been attacked by those damn Soviet spies four times, and now the security of the entire command post is extremely strict." ”
"An attack by Soviet spies?"
Slightly stunned, Liszt's gaze subconsciously glanced at Major Leslie next to him. And this guy obviously noticed that Liszt was looking at him, but nodded with a slight smile, still the same as the harmless major before. But the crisp shooting, without the slightest leeway, made him grit his teeth, and nodded to Sophie: "When we came, we really met one..."
"Those damn Soviet spies, like bedbugs, really exist everywhere."
Hearing Liszt's words, Sofitel was not too surprised. It was only when he spat at the side fiercely, and his eyes cautiously swept over the surrounding environment, and then he said to Liszt helplessly: "The current Alaska is really rotten, and I even believe that even in this Anchorage Line, there are countless Soviet spies." His voice paused slightly, but his eyes looked at Major Naleslie, and he shook his head, "But they will be pulled out one by one." ”
"I think there are some specific details that should not be said too much to Mr. Liszt."
Major Leslie, who was smiling from the side, spoke slowly, interrupting the conversation between Sofitel and Liszt. He still had a smile on his face, and he looked polite to anyone, including only a slight pride in his tone, but overall it was no different from a normal major. However, his words also had an unmistakable flavor in front of Sofitel: "General Bunard doesn't have much time to talk, and the Anchorage Line, which has just been prepared, is quite busy. ”
"I know." Sofitel's eyes swept over Leslie, but she couldn't help but let out a cold snort in her nose. He gestured to the soldiers behind him, and at the end of the bunker, a small steel door slowly opened. He beckoned to Liszt and them to hurry in, but looking at the windbreaker that had not yet been delivered, he could only say to Liszt with some apologies: "It seems that you haven't come back yet, but when you come out, you should be able to use it." ”
"Thank you, Sofitel."
Liszt nodded at him, and said yes without saying anything. After all, they had fought a bloody path together in the underground research institute, especially with the vast majority of the people killed in the end, and the side by side between them was particularly cherished. However, they were already on the Anchorage Line, and based on the more than ten years of safe life in the future, their friendship had just begun, and Liszt was not in a hurry to say anything.
A large part of the half-bunker is underground, especially when you enter the small door, you find that you have to walk down a staircase for a distance of two or three meters before you finally reach the space of this bunker. The entire structure is made of steel and concrete, which is enough to resist multiple shots from large-caliber artillery, and is even equipped with special hidden tunnels, even if it encounters some irresistible forces, it can evacuate this pillbox in the fastest time. And for the Anchorage Line, such bunkers are almost everywhere.
"Looks spectacular, doesn't it? The mountains and the earth have also become our help, forming the Anchorage Line, the strongest bunker in the frozen soil of Alaska. ”
Coming to the bottom of the bunker, it was not dark and cramped, four or five lights lit up the space of about 120 square meters, and several young or middle-aged soldiers were busy recording something. But in the center, the gray-haired figure is looking at a huge drawing hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, which seems to be a precise map of the surroundings of the bunker. And when he heard the movement, he didn't even look back, so he directly said in a hoarse voice: "Then Liszt, do you think we are safe?" ”
Liszt slowly walked out of the narrow staircase, looking at the rough concrete walls around him, and the appearance of no windows, but he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said, "Safety? Perhaps. As he spoke, his gaze swept over the empty room around him, and finally focused on the passage to the upper warhead, his tone still calm: "If anyone feels safe, then there is no need to hollow out the hill here, and if anyone feels safe, then there is no need to build this Anchorage Line." ”
"Unique insights."
The gray-haired figure turned around, and the slightly wrinkled face was expressionless, and it was none other than the old Bunard, who Liszt was very familiar with. He was wearing the usual general's uniform in the past, and he looked quite energetic, especially in his eyes, with a hint of excitement. He glanced at Major Leslie next to him, waved at him, and said, "Get things ready." As soon as the words fell, he smiled at Liszt and said, "It's a lot of pressure, I need to take some blood pressure medicine now." ”
Although Alaska is still part of the U.S. Confederation on the map, the only city that the U.S. Confederation can control, Anchorage, is with the help of the Navy. Any commander who came to this line of defense was under great pressure, because no one knew exactly how far the Soviets had infiltrated Alaska.
