Chapter 072. Poor promotion

This conversation with the elder Bunard was not long, but it lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended. After all, as the commander-in-chief of the Anchorage Line, the old Bunnard was able to take time out of his busy government time to meet and talk with Liszt, which still showed the importance he attached to this young man. Perhaps both sides understood what they were thinking, and the conversation only touched on the trivia and details of the battle during Liszt's previous reconnaissance, and the questions about the group of politicians were put aside.

In less than ten minutes, an assistant came in to remind the elder Bunard of other arrangements, and Liszt and Colonel Leslie were each led out of the parlor by a soldier. However, he did not lead out of the huge Anchorage Line command post, but only led him to a room that appeared to be a single officer's dormitory, explained that there was no order to prohibit casual walking on the road outside, and turned and left.

However, Liszt did not fully pay attention to this brief conversation now. Looking around at this room of about 10 square meters, just a single bed, a table and chairs, plus a computer take up all the space. But his eyes were on a map of Alaska above the computer, and he subconsciously took out the appointment letter in his arms, and frowned slightly: "Is it the Juno area?" ”

"This is the city of Juneau, this is the island of Ademuralti, this is the island of Chichagov, the island of Baranov, the island of Kupu Alek, the island of Prince of Wales, the island of Reviahikhdo."

Squinting slightly, Liszt looked along the map of Alaska one by one, carefully looking at the names and geographical locations marked on it, which were very clearly marked. And his heart beat slightly, he couldn't help but slowly widen his eyes, stretched out his finger and gently put it in Prince Rupert, but the corners of his mouth turned into a smile: "The military port of the Soviets and Canadians?" It seems to be interesting. ”

The mountainous area where the letter of appointment is located is actually located in the original capital of Alaska, which is famous for its golden sands. But with the depletion of the sands and the military threat from the Soviets, the tourism industry that should have been booming has also faded. Even the current capital of Alaska has long been transferred to the Anchorage Line for unified command. Moreover, almost no American citizen of Alaska is still alive here, and it has long been taken back to the mainland of the United States and scattered among major cities.

But Liszt looked at the map of Alaska in front of him, and he also saw that in Canada, next to Alaska, British Columbia. Especially looking at Prince Rupert, which is located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean and has a good deep-water port, the information that he said to the elder Bunard in his heart has also been digested in his mind.

"However, the elder Bunnard did not say exactly where the guard post would be set up."

Look at the islands marked on the map, and the terrain that begins to spread along the inland and gradually rises. Liszt's brows furrowed slightly, from north to south like a huge dragon vein in the Rocky Mountains, which fully occupied the entire North American continent, and the old Bunard was just talking about a remnant of the Rocky Mountains, which was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. And thinking of this, Liszt couldn't help but shake his head: "God knows how many remaining veins there are in the Rocky Mountains." ”

The Rocky Mountains are the backbone of North America, stretching from Alaska to Mexico, and even some of the remaining veins into South America. And the mountains of South America seem to have some relationship with the Rocky Mountains. Perhaps the Rocky Mountains have been formed since the movement of the Earth's plates, and the Rocky Mountains on the North American continent are undoubtedly the world's largest mountain ranges.

"Dangdangdang."

There was a soft knock on the door, but Liszt didn't answer, and after waiting for two seconds, he gently pushed open the door and walked in. Liszt was slightly stunned, but turned his head to find that it was Colonel Leslie, who was holding a briefcase under his arm and nodded at him with a smile: "I'm sorry, the matter is a little urgent, so I didn't shy away too much, I hope you don't mind." ”

"Of course, Colonel, I don't know what is the matter with you?"

Shaking his head, what if he minded? At least now Liszt is just a captain rank, and there is really not much room for refutation in the face of this powerful colonel Leslie. Shrugging slightly, Liszt pulled away the seat in the table next to him, shook his head, and said, "I have just come to this room, and there is nothing else I can do except invite you to sit down and talk." ”

For Liszt's little joke, Colonel Leslie still had the usual smile on his face. But he was not too polite, nodded and sat down on the chair, and at the same time put the briefcase in his hand on the table, opened it and took something in it, and at the same time turned his head to Liszt and said: "A bad news, the silver steel pipe you captured has been implanted with some kind of biological virus by the Soviets, but the good news is that you can only be infected if you open it." ”

"Well, but that's not good news."

Touching the tip of his nose, Liszt looked at the flat smile on Colonel Leslie's face in front of him, but his eyes saw that he had pulled out an air needle from his briefcase. Subconsciously touching his fingers, Liszt couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Won't you have to take a blood test?" ”

"This is a very strict link, at least it can prevent you from being infected with biological viruses, even if it is fine, at least you can check the blood sugar index."

There was a smile on his face, but Colonel Leslie's gaze was quite cautious. He already had chemical isolation gloves on his hands, picked up Liszt's hand and placed it on the table, gently pressed it down with an air needle, and then thought about lifting it. A small bead of blood slowly appeared on Liszt's index finger, indicating the location of the wound, and Colonel Leslie handed him an alcohol swab, looked at some values displayed on the air needle, nodded slightly, and said, "There is no infection, and the blood sugar is normal." ”

"You seem to be careful?"

Liszt frowned slightly, watching Colonel Leslie take off the chemical isolation gloves on his hands and put them back in his briefcase, but there were some doubts in his heart. Looking at the face in front of him that was still smiling plainly and could never see his true thoughts, he couldn't help frowning: "Biological virus? It's a bad feeling. ”

"This is a matter of secrecy, Captain Liszt, and unfortunately you have no permission to inquire about it."

Smiling slightly, Colonel Leslie had put away his gloves and air needle. At the same time, he took out the appointment document from his briefcase and put it on the table, watched Liszt slowly curl the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Maybe you know some secret things, but I think it is safest to wait until your authority level rises." ”

"Perhaps." Liszt also barely smiled, and of course he could hear the hidden meaning of Colonel Leslie's words. Frowning slowly, he picked up the appointment document with his hand, and looked at the troops on it who were about to follow him to Juno City, but his brows couldn't help but furrow more and more, and he couldn't help but look up at Colonel Leslie and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, I just brought a platoon of soldiers over?" ”

The letter of appointment clearly divided Liszt's forces into a standard infantry platoon, not even a single armoured vehicle, not even an armed off-road vehicle. Looking down at the columns of materials above, the heavy firepower was probably the six 12.7mm heavy machine guns, 30 disposable anti-tank rocket launchers, and a small-caliber mortar. Shaking his head slightly, Liszt put down the letter of appointment in his hand, looked at Colonel Leslie and frowned: "Maybe it can be called a fire reinforcement platoon?" ”

"The Anchorage Line and the U.S. Federal Command, I hope you can build a guard tower south of Juno City."

In the face of Liszt's questioning, Colonel Leslie did not show the slightest expression, he just smiled slightly, like a gentleman drinking coffee on the street, and at the same time took out a box from his briefcase, put it on the table and whispered: "That can't be discovered by the Canadian military, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Of course, unnecessary trouble, as that group of politicians always does."

Frowning tightly, Liszt couldn't help but snort coldly. Except that Canada has not declared its entry into the Soviet camp, it is now almost no different from a member of the Soviets. Not only were troops sent to fight in conjunction with the Soviets, but even the right of military passage and the exercise of ports were given to the Soviets, as was the case with the Canadians. Even if the U.S. federal estimates that Canada will completely fall to the Soviet Union, it must also consider what Canada's attitude towards both sides is now!

"Why think about those unpleasant things? As soldiers, we must first obey orders, which is our duty, isn't it? ”

Colonel Leslie smiled slowly, he pushed the box on the table to Liszt, and gently tapped the lid on it, his tone flat and slightly excited: "Open it and see, my venerable Major Liszt." As he spoke, he slowly opened the lid, and a brand-new document was placed safely inside: "This is an affirmation of your heroic battle." ”

The documents inside the box are brand new, as if they had just been made. And in fact, it is exactly that, the brand new one barely has half an hour. Liszt reached out and took out the thin document, opened it and looked at his photo pasted on it, but the corner of his mouth showed a mocking smile: "Promoted to major?" He slowly raised his head, looked around at the small empty room around him, and said slowly, "It's pitiful." ”
