Chapter 093. Night is coming
Liszt stood quietly at the top of the hill, just holding the small communicator in his hand slightly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start. The Enclave's communication was so abrupt that he didn't even expect that the first communication would be carried out in such a way as a call for help. But Liszt recalled the words from the communicator just now, and the corners of his mouth also showed a wry smile: "Looking at this arrogant appearance, it seems that it is really the tone of the Enclave." ”
The people of the Enclave always have a faint sense of arrogance, from O'Neill in the small town to Captain Evan who met in Seine County before, they all have a sense of domineering. In other words, just as he had just heard on the communicator, although Liszt had no intention of going to the rescue, he also felt that the commanding tone made him quite disgusted.
"Did the Enclave really think of himself as a high-ranking person? It's really even more arrogant than in the post-war world. ”
Frowning slightly, Liszt's mouth couldn't help but purse slowly. Although this was the communicator given to him by the Enclave, how did Liszt know that the guy who asked for help was really a member of the Enclave? And when he turned his head to look at the sea level in the distance, the waves crashing on the cliff, but he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and whispered to himself: "Ademeralti Island? ”
This is one of the coastal islands of Alaska, and it is still an extension of the remnants of the Rocky Mountains, with towering mountains breaking through sea level to form the central island and the surrounding flatter terrain. In its original trajectory, the island was known for tourism and fishing, and certainly once in the world.
However, because of the clouds of the Cold War and the drying up of global energy, this small island, which has lost its usefulness, has also been abandoned by that group of politicians without hesitation. In order to ensure the rigor and secrecy of the Anchorage Line. The federal government evacuated all U.S. federal citizens, and the island of Admeralti became an empty island left on the map. Even if it was secretly occupied by the Canadians, the politicians didn't care as if they didn't see it.
That group of politicians can abandon the islands without hesitation, because it may be just a negotiation. But for Liszt, the abandonment of the island of Ardmuralti and the occupation by the Canadians. But it directly affected the security of the Anchorage Line. Just like the Pacific coast, there is almost no place for the US Federal Navy to dock, especially on the original US federal land islands, when the US Navy passes by, you must be careful of shore guns or anti-ship missiles that may appear on these islands at any time!
On the other hand, the Soviet warships were able to roam the Pacific Ocean with great ease, transporting large quantities of weapons and equipment to Mexico through Canada's Port Prince Rupert, while using military aid. The Mexican guerrillas were armed in large numbers in the hope of holding back the pace of the American Federation.
"It's dangerous, Major Liszt, and we have no idea what's going on near Ardmeralti Island."
Garcia's brows were also tightly furrowed, he turned his head to look at the rough cliff of Ademeralti Island in the distance, but the tightly furrowed brows suddenly dispersed, and shook his head gently, Garcia said to Liszt with some regret: "Of course this is just a little. And most importantly, we simply did not have a boat to go to Ardmuralti Island for a rescue mission. ”
"No boats?"
Slightly stunned. Liszt was likewise reminded of the fact that he, as a guard post, did not carry a single combat boat at all. And even if he brought a combat boat, it would be of no avail, because his task was to build a guard post that would be responsible for monitoring the surrounding sea and area of the enemy, and that one could not provide wartime fire support. Or what is the use of combat boats for large-scale transportation of supplies? What's more, the Pacific coast has long been blockaded by the Canadians, and there is no way for combat boats to drive unscrupulously in it.
At this time, not to mention Liszt, even the elite of the US Army now stationed in the Great Lakes, the River Rapid Reaction Force, which is specially responsible for the river special operation, will have a big head. The military forces of both sides are simply disproportionate. Even the battlefield transparency of the two sides is not detailed enough, and the United States Federation is still on the weak side in this Alaska!
"What a hasty decision, isn't there anyone who can tell me what's going on?"
Liszt looked down at the small communication device in his hand, but he couldn't help but take a deep breath, but he was still helpless because of the lack of clues. This Enclave's communicator is simply a simple beep boy, even if the communication function is added, but Liszt will not contact other people, it is just a useless auxiliary function.
This thing is not a smartphone from the previous life, and it can be dialed with a light tap. This kind of vacuum tube technology, which can be preserved in a nuclear war, although it is strong and durable, is still not half as good as the Earth in the previous life in terms of intelligence. It's like Liszt now, not only will he not use it, but even the so-called tasks are given to him by those who are not sure whether he is a member of Anchorage.
Turning his head to look at the island of Ademeralti, which was almost close at hand, Liszt could still hear the trepidation in his tired voice, despite the swaggering tone of his voice. Turning his head slightly to look at the soldiers next to him who were looking up at him, Liszt still frowned and said to Garcia next to him: "I remember that we still have rubber boats." ”
"Rubber boats? We use this kind of thing to rescue friendly forces? ”
Garcia seemed to be surprised by Liszt's words, his brow raised high, and his face was full of disbelief. Slowly swallowing and foaming, his tongue pursed his lips, and after a while he said to Liszt: "Our rubber boat is only used for river riding, not even a military version, and we will sink to the bottom of the sea even if we encounter even a bullet!" ”
"You can't die without help, as you said, it's our allies."
After a moment of deep silence, Liszt still made a decision. He turned his head to look at the rough waves on the shore of Admorerti Island, but he did not have the slightest fear. When it's almost 10 o'clock at night, the tidal effects will be minimized and the currents will be calmer, and when that time comes, it is a good idea to paddle through them with this dinghy.
Garcia, of course, knew this, as a veteran of the Mexican battlefield. But the role of rubber boats in battle is really small and pitiful, and it is not even as good as the light combat boat with a light machine gun added. And Garcia just frowned, but nodded and responded, "I'll arrange it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked down the hill and called a squad of 10 soldiers over the walkie-talkie on his chest. And where the ten-wheeled military truck was parked behind the hill, a few soldiers received his instructions on the walkie-talkie to drag the shriveled rubber boat out, quickly fill it up, and restore it to a full and elastic paddle dinghy.
Everything was prepared in less than half an hour, which was nothing for Garcia. He was already in charge of these miscellaneous chores, and according to his older experience, he was also quite responsible. Looking at the selected ten-person elite team, as well as the prepared ammunition and materials, as well as the three rubber boats more than three meters long, he also pressed the walkie-talkie to report his work arrangement to Liszt: "All preparations are over, and they can be dispatched at any time." ”
"Very well, let's keep waiting."
Standing on the hill, Liszt looked up at the setting sun, and in about an hour, the Alaska sky would be filled with countless stars. And he took a deep breath on the spot, but his hand subconsciously touched his chest, and a fierce beating appeared there, as if it was some kind of uneasiness, but it made his eyes narrow slightly. And on the communicator in his hand, a text message appeared at some point, with only two words: "Allowed." (To be continued.) )
