Chapter 124. The prescribed position
The cold wind from the north has blown, and the cold air has fallen a slight frost, making the world feel that winter is approaching. At the top of the Rocky Mountains, the snow has become whiter and whiter, like a white-haired mature woman in the ice, showing its unique charm from ancient times to modern times.
The cold currents at the very high heights seem to make the air freeze, but as the sun rises and the temperature warms up again, the sparse snow and frost melt into water, forming a large number of streams and lakes on both sides of the Rocky Mountains, and this abundant water resources also make the primeval forests on the mountains and rivers, and the plants such as small-leaved shrubs growing in them more and more luxuriant, even in late autumn, which is already on the verge of cold winter, it is lush and full of life like midsummer.
This is the most standard mountainous and jungle area, with streams and rivers separating these mountains and forests, and the large and small lakes are dotted like pearls. The creeks and rivers connect the lakes, and the lakes provide security for the water level, allowing the streams and rivers to converge with the drop of the mountains into a wide river that stretches into the Pacific Ocean.
With rolling mountains and vast primeval forests, it was quite easy to hide even a group army of more than 100,000 people. There was no doubt about this for Liszt, who had been ashore for nearly a month and a half, and had not found any trace of the Soviets or Canadians, but had lived very well in this primeval forest, and had even set up several tents in a leeward col under the cover of trees, and formed a makeshift camp.
The land, which had been cluttered with countless shrubs, had been completely cleared by the members of the Marine Corps in three days with the skills of unskilled gardeners. And the potholed ground had been trampled on by them, and even paved with a layer of pebbles picked up from the river bank to add to the hardness. Although it still looks quite rudimentary. However, they also have the appearance of a camp, at least much better than those camping for wild adventures or hunting, and at least they can leisurely build a fence out of wood to prevent the fierce wild animals such as bears or jungle wolves that are abundant in the Rocky Mountains.
The sun had risen in the sky, and the camp was already smelling a faint enticing scent, and fresh salmon had been disemboweled. And sprinkled with plenty of spices. The standard BBQ oven has been set up in the middle of the camp, and the charcoal fire in it is blazing, and after a while, these excellent textures of fruit charcoal can be grilled for those marinated salmon.
Several young Marines stood around the oven in a group, with a lot of eagerness in their eyes, especially seeing that the charcoal fire had been taken to a steady level, they immediately inserted the refractory stainless steel brazing into the fish's mouth, and then slowly placed it on the barbecue, and the smell of the spices was ignited by the high temperature. A smell of rapid saliva leaked throughout the camp immediately spread throughout the camp, so that the other soldiers who were still wielding sapper shovels and leveling the mountain col behind them attracted a little more smile on their faces as they looked at the grilled fish slowly tumbling on the charcoal fire.
"Texas barbecue technology is known all over the world!"
With a proud smile on his face, the young man who was flipping through the grilled fish reached for a bottle of hot sauce and applied it directly to the surface of the grilled fish, a sweetened barbecue hot sauce that makes any barbecue extremely delicious, and this is one of the secrets of his barbecue. With the appearance of the salmon, it became a little burnt. Almost all of the Marines gathered around the oven were already shouting with some impatience.
And their urging also made the pride on the young man's face even more proud. There were four grilled fish rolling in his hands, and there were a lot of grilled corn and sausages on the grill, and with his skillful grilling skills, in barely ten minutes, the big plate was already full of ripe sausages and corn, as well as the four large salmon. Hand the tray to the soldiers who were already hungry and thirsty. There was a slight smile on his face, and there was a bloody steak on the table behind him, which he easily placed on the grill with a tong, and nodded with satisfaction as the butter tumbled. After adjusting the height of the charcoal fire, he turned his head and laughed loudly at the soldiers behind him: "I will try a large beef burger from Texas in a while, so that you can understand what it means to enjoy!" ”
The soldiers, who had been busy all morning, did not have so much time to continue listening to his idle talk, they all rolled their eyes and quickly devoured the sausages and corn in their hands, even the four fat salmon had been divided into a dozen portions by this group of young men with great appetites, and they devoured all the reimbursement in a few minutes, and licked their lips to look at the half-baked steak, and the hunger and thirst in their eyes could be seen by everyone.
"It's not baked yet, I think you'd better endure it for ten minutes."
And just as they were gobbling up, Liszt walked out of the bushes outside the camp with two soldiers, full of body armor and bulletproof helmets, and a jungle camouflage gilly suit with a hood. Liszt waved his hand at the secret whistle hidden in the bushes next to him, and walked directly to the oven, picked up two thick pork sausages and handed them to the two soldiers behind him, and he also took two slices of bread and sandwiched a sausage, and stuffed it into his mouth, while shrugging his shoulders at the young men with salivating looks on his faces: "You chose to eat barbecue today, and in fact we don't have so many barbecue masters to grill these things." ”
"Captain, you're late, the first wave of delicious grilled fish has all entered the stomachs of this group of guys."
The soldier who was still busy working next to the barbecue grill also had a smile on his face, and roasted a few pieces of tender corn and handed them to Liszt and the two marines who had just returned, while turning over a dozen huge steaks on his grill, looking at the sizzling appearance, he also gently tested the tenderness with a tong, and at the same time sprinkled a handful of extremely spicy spices from New Mexico, and shrugged at Liszt: "If you didn't guess wrong, maybe Captain, your investigation still found nothing?" ”
"Basically, the topographic map of the vicinity has come out."
Nodding, Liszt stuffed the last sausage into his mouth, chewed the delicious sausage splashed with oil and water, took out a palm-sized notebook in his arms, and threw it into the arms of a soldier in front of him, while sitting on a chair made of wooden stakes, he took off his auspicious clothes very tiredly, nodded to the soldier, and said: "Little Karl, as one of the top few outstanding graduates of the military academy, I think you will be able to distinguish the specific location of this place through the trend of the surrounding mountains and rivers." ”
"Here?" The soldier named Carl put down the tray in his hand, licked his greasy lips with his tongue, and opened the notebook with his hand. The surrounding topographical map has been drawn on it, and a small part of the expected shape of the mountain range has been drawn according to the continuous course of the mountain range. Frowning slightly, he took out a military map from the breast pocket of his jacket with his backhand, compared it with the direction of the mountains above, but couldn't help but whisper: "It's British Columbia, Canada?" ”
"If it's just British Columbia, then I already know that."
Chewing on the sausages in his mouth, Liszt picked out a steak for himself to put on his plate, which was about four years old, and the blood in it had not yet been completely roasted. But in this life, as a person from the United States Federation, his eating habits have also become familiar with this kind of half-cooked meat, and he filled the meat into his mouth three times and two times, looking at Carl's frowning and carefully comparing on the map, he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said: "If it is the United States Federation, then the West Coast can be regarded as prosperous." ”
"Of course, the West Coast of the U.S. Federation is not the same as this area, at least there are some flat areas."
Carl's brows furrowed slightly, he seemed to feel that the military map in his hand was a little incorrect, and he took out another map in his pocket with his backhand, and nodded to Li Stead with certainty: "It is confirmed that we are in Canada, and we have also obtained specific information about British Columbia, I think it is actually very simple to find our location." Slowly looking at the topographic map on the map, the continuous mountains made him slightly stunned: "I remember, captain, you once said that you were carried by the dark tide for nearly four hours?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Frowning slightly, Liszt also seemed to hear something strange in Karl's mouth. And he leaned over and looked at Carl as he looked at an area of British Columbia, Canada, on the map, with a certain disbelief in his eyes. But when he looked at the islands on the map, just outside the mainland, he couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth, and there was a certain ridiculousness in his tone: "You mean, I was carried away by the dark tide for hundreds of nautical miles, all the way to the Queen Charlotte Islands?" ”
But he looked at the surrounding mountains and the obvious mountain drop, but finally put down the plate in his hand and swept the specific places around the map with the standard, but he couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth. He stretched out his hand and pointed to a point in the northwest of the map, which was the area where a wide river bay was located, but his brow had already wrinkled into the word "Chuan": "If I am not mistaken, this is Prince Rupert?" ”
It didn't take the nods of the Marines around him to know where he was. He couldn't help but shake his head, the elder Bunard had exhausted his mind and wanted him to reach Prince Rupert to monitor the entry and exit of Soviet warships. But now he was quite easily in the primeval forest near Prince Rupert, and he no longer needed the help of the United States, or rather, restraint. With a golden finger, he has already begun to get all the help he can get in this area to deal with the nuclear war that will definitely occur in the future! (To be continued.) )
