The sub-district office is probably the most distinctive grassroots government organization in China. Many yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana "liberals" have always despised it, believing it to be nothing more than the lowest rank of government lackeys. However, it is undeniable that as the most densely scattered and smallest authority in China, the sub-district office is closely related to the people's livelihood and can closely grasp the thinking trend and information sources among the people. Especially when it comes to popular control and control, no one else can match.

The audacity and adventure of the Americans is truly reflected in the journalists. Although the Capitol Hill base was built with severe punishment for intruders, it could not stop the curious eyes of civilians and the outside world. Every day, several journalists or adventurers who trespassed were caught. Companions who are waiting outside contact the media through the hotline. The arrested journalists soon appeared on television and in newspapers as "heroes". Naturally, people are becoming more and more concerned about what the government is doing.

In total, more than 20,000 people broke into the cordon during the entire construction of the Capitol Hill base. Many were shot dead on the spot, and many were taken into custody and imprisoned. The U.S. government also wants to use an iron fist and iron means to carry out high-pressure control, but it has provoked a stronger backlash from the local population. At the end of the day, even some members of the National Guard joined in and confronted the government on the periphery of the base, across the barbed wire.

The president and the defense minister at the time had a headache about this. There are too many guns scattered among the people. Civilians are not weakly armed than the military. Although Zhilundao will have a full-blown outbreak of the virus in a few years, no one can afford to give orders to the military to shoot at civilians.

Civilians are fighting back with increasing ferocity, and trucks carrying various construction materials into Capitol Hill are constantly being intercepted. As a last resort, the president declared the perimeter of the base a no-go zone and allowed soldiers to shoot trespassers without trial.

From the point of view of the ruler of the country, it is not surprising that such an order is given. But the reaction was too strong. The more the government covered it up, the more curious the people became about the Capitol Hill base. Influenced by this thinking, businessmen who supplied materials to the military also began to refuse to cooperate, and convoys were always attacked on the road. Even soldiers have questions about the tasks they undertake. I feel that the U.S. government is not on the side of the people at all, but is playing the role of a murderer.

The pace of construction of the Capitol Hill base has inevitably been delayed. The frustrated president and his staff have spent a lot of energy and time dealing with civilians. So much so that when the virus broke out, only 75 percent of the entire base construction was completed.

……

The Supreme Joint Command is a separate huge compartment. The exterior is entirely made of transparent, high-strength bulletproof glass. The foyer of the building is very spacious and well-lit, like a superlative hotel. Step into the foyer, where six connected passages make it a true labyrinth. Between departments and labs, tactical headquarters and arsenals, you can't find your true direction without a guide or signpost.

Admiral Anderson was a man of elegant appearance and tall build. His gray and stiff hair and his face carved with the traces of time show that he is no longer young. But age is often associated with seniority. Coupled with the five-star admiral badges on either side of his shoulders, he received the incomparably respectful gaze of the young man, as well as countless followers who were willing to obey orders.

This is an urgent meeting. There were only six people in attendance, including Anderson.

The room was small, barely enough for less than twenty chairs. Everyone, including Anderson, had a solemn look on their faces, and the atmosphere became dull with the silence of the people.

Just received news from the Miami base: Vice Admiral Stirling and the submarine that transported the Chinese evolutionaries have lost news. The base activated an emergency plan, dispatched submarine combat units and the USS Truman aircraft carrier battle group. As they approached the Bermuda Triangle, they encountered strong electromagnetic interference. The submarines "Alexandya" and "Paitoka" sank, and the losses of people are being counted.

Major General Moen, who is in his forties, was the first to break the silence: "Are there any traces of fighting at the scene of the incident?" Have you found any armed ships from other countries or with such power? Has there been a group that has been held responsible? ”

Major General Horowitz, the chief of intelligence, took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped it, shaking his head wordlessly.

The people who are qualified to sit in this room have all had contact with the Atlanteans. Although the room could accommodate more people, there were only seven chairs next to the round conference table.

There is also an empty seat that belongs to Sterling.

Unbeknownst to the attendees, Sterling was dead. The submarine pyramid was completely blocked by Wang Qinian, and the strong electromagnetic storm made it impossible to transmit the radio waves normally. All the officers and men on the US submarine were killed on the spot, and even if the researcher next to Wang Qinian was a secret agent, he could not release any news.

No one continued to ask.

As contacts, they are well aware of the role that Atlanteans play in the virus outbreak. Since it was impossible to enter the Bermuda Triangle, the two submarines suddenly sank under unknown circumstances, and there was no other force to attack...... The problem is already obvious, the submarine pyramids have been closed, and the safe shipping lanes have been blocked again. It has become a grave that human machines cannot touch.

"Why is this happening?"

Major General Morn frowned, his high nose and deep eyes made his facial expression grim: "An agreement has been reached between us and the Atlanteans, and we have been doing what they ask. For those messengers, the highest courtesy has always been given. We have never disobeyed them, and all the requirements of personnel, materials, equipment, have been met. But they actually shut down the underwater pyramids? ”

No one questioned the words of Major General Moyn. That's pretty much what everyone is talking about. Since the outbreak of the virus, the emissary has taken six American evolutionaries. Despite its reluctance, the United States has nothing to do. According to the military, those evolutionaries should be thrown into the battle against the abandoned city to maximize their effectiveness. But they were taken away like this, and they could not refuse the demands of the Atlanteans.

The outbreak of the virus is a catastrophe of all times. On the whole, in the early days of the virus outbreak, the losses of Americans could only be considered mediocre. This is due in large part to a liberal policy on civilian arms ownership. The clumsy zombies only caused panic at first, and the populace with a large number of guns quickly learned the correct way to kill the zombies. There are many people who have fled the city, and many more who choose to stay. They don't believe in prophecies such as the end of the world, thinking that they can kill all the zombies and rebuild their homes.

At that time, there were no truly abandoned cities in the United States. Even in a mega-city like New York, where a large number of people gather. They made a living collecting food scattered throughout the city, and even killed thousands of zombies to reclaim some of the occupied neighborhoods. This situation was not completely transformed until the second mutation of the virus, that is, when the zombies were transformed into bloody corpses and humanoids. The people who were stationed inside the city found themselves making a big mistake. They didn't leave in time, and the highly evolved mutated creatures already used them as a source of food.

New crashes and panic began. This chaos should have been experienced a year ago, and now, mutant creatures have blocked the streets of the city. They pull the survivors out of the enclosed rooms and tear them apart with the most brutal methods. There was nothing the survivors could do but scream and wail.

The situation at the Capitol Hill base is not much better. According to the design before the outbreak of the virus, this huge base should have at least 20,000 soldiers to play a basic defensive effect. However, it is a consistent practice of the Americans to set up a large number of military bases overseas. Despite the evidence of the existence of the Atlanteans, the military and the top of the government still had a fluke with the virus outbreak. They believe that the large number of overseas bases should not be abandoned, and that the garrisons in those places must still be maintained. Only in this way can we maintain the deterrence and strength of the most powerful country in the world after the virus crisis is resolved.

Admiral Anderson was the highest-ranking of all the contacts. Including Lieutenant General Sterling, who was killed by Su Hao, a total of seven generals were involved in the entire "contact" incident. They call themselves "angels." Outraged by the absurd resolutions of the top brass of the government and military, Anderson has repeatedly demanded that troops from overseas bases be reclaimed and that they be concentrated at various bases in the country for defense. However, many people believe that this idea is not feasible. Isn't it? We have the most advanced weapons in the world, we have the most powerful army, our soldiers are ten with one, what else do we have to be invincible?

Admiral Anderson was almost completely mad. As a lieutenant general at the time, he desperately ran between the office of the president and the office of the secretary of defense, using a large amount of data to show that thermonuclear weapons must be absolutely disabled, and that the virus outbreak caused a disaster far more than expected. In the end, he failed to move anyone, and he didn't get the result he wanted.

Despite the large number of National Guardsmen gathered after the outbreak of the virus, the Capitol Hill base was only a few thousand soldiers. This number has increased over time, and a large number of recruits from among the civilian population have been filled. At present, the armed force of the entire base has reached 110,000.

This may seem like a lot, but it doesn't actually make any difference.

All defenses on the east and west coasts have fallen, and dense urban agglomerations have led to a massive build-up of mutant creatures. Americans who advocate liberal democracy have no interest in things like joining the military. They would rather deal with mutated creatures in their own way than obey the government's instructions to assemble and build a defensive line within the prescribed range.

At this point, Admiral Anderson is really envious of the Chinese versus the Russians. They were able to organize tens of millions of troops in a short period of time. And the number is growing. Especially for the Chinese, the eastern and northern defense lines are very strong, and the newly formed Western Theater has also achieved remarkable results. They took over a large abandoned city and wiped out all the mutated creatures in it. If it were the United States, it would be unthinkable.

While many in the military were skeptical of China's record, Admiral Anderson believed it to be true. Military satellites have captured a lot of images of the city of Kunming, where a large number of civilians have moved in, abandoned vehicles and debris are being removed from the streets, a large number of fields have been cultivated outside the city, and the reservoirs in the surrounding area have also been detected for the release of electric energy.

The imaginary "global strategy" of the president and the secretary of defense has come to naught. The outbreak of the virus has had an irreparably severe impact on all overseas bases. The navy and army have lost more than 300,000 soldiers, the air force has lost 60 percent of its pilots, and countless types of equipment of various types have been abandoned and destroyed.

If the overseas troops could be recovered in time at that time, relying on the strong defense capability of the base city, the losses would definitely not be so heavy.

Building a line of defense is just empty talk. Now, the sparsely populated western region has become a recognized safe zone. The Pentagon has set up a garrison on the edge of the Nevada desert. Three infantry divisions and two armored divisions were responsible for the defense there. Admiral Andersen inspected there two months ago and found that the so-called fortifications were nothing more than steel-concrete pillboxes and barbed wire. Even the task of laying minefields has been completed only a third of the time. It is important to know that the construction of this project began two years ago.

The shortage of troops is worse than expected. The number of personnel in the five divisions is less than 60,000. Although the Ministry of Defense has issued a first-order enhancement potion to all soldiers, and even expanded the distribution of potions to some civilians. However, this approach obviously does not have much effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the troops. The soldiers were still unaccustomed to it, refusing even to engage in hand-to-hand combat with mutated creatures. They prefer to use advanced weapons to kill mutated creatures.

It should be admitted that the US military is indeed ahead of other countries in terms of equipment allocation. In particular, the number of combat machinery in individual weapons and armored units far exceeds that of any known army. Soldiers clearly do not have the concept of forgetting their lives in battle. Their image is far from the tall and heroic image in the recruitment propaganda film. Like the Chinese, the junior officers and soldiers of the US military also did not understand why they could not cover abandoned cities with artillery fire. But they can't be as thorough as the Chinese in carrying out orders.

Since the outbreak of the virus, almost all U.S. military units have attacked abandoned cities with long-range artillery fire. Although the Ministry of Defense dealt with the person concerned at the first time and made the reasons public, the soldiers and officers did not buy it. There have even been bizarre incidents of recruits refusing to be injected with boosters. The reason is simple, they believe that once they have been injected with the potion, they must rush through the abandoned city with a carbon tomahawk to fight the mutated creatures hand-to-hand. That's not what they want to see.

The easiest way to kill mutated creatures is to use guns, open fire, and drop bombs with airplanes, instead of Lao Tzu rushing in front of him desperately.

Repeated persuasion and strict supervision within the army have no effect. Admiral Anderson was also immensely overheaded. When he gave orders to the defense line engineers to meet the deadline, they claimed that this was a violation of his human rights, that his guild would protest against the Ministry of Defense, and that it might even cause all workers to go on strike.

As for the soldiers...... Almost everyone is shouting nonsense such as "do not use long-range artillery fire for what", "do not send the air force to bomb for what", "where are our aircraft carrier formations" and so on. But if you think about it, they are accustomed to winning with weapons and technological superiority, and bloody and painful hand-to-hand combat is not at all the mainstream in the minds of American soldiers. It was just a matter of going to death in vain, far from reaching the power of a cannonball or a bomb.

The phrase that Admiral Anderson heard the most during that time was: "Why don't you go up and fight for yourself?" Why do you want me to go up and die? ”

In order to recoup civilians, the Ministry of Defense ordered that all base municipalities must provide food and water to refugees in their areas.

For the Americans, this is a natural thing to do. Of course, the number of rations is far less than expected, and the variety is not abundant. Each person gets only 400 grams of bread, 5 grams of salt, 10 grams of meat (cooked or canned), and 5 grams of fat per day. However, in the eyes of American civilians, this is simply a mess of garbage.

In the early days of the virus, many refugees refused to accept rations. Indeed, the bread and cooked meat produced by the machine did not taste very good, and the quantity was far from satisfying. Such rations have attracted countless insults from refugees, and some refugees have even besieged the base city, demanding more and better rations.

This is no longer the case. The refugees, who had asked for butter, cheese, bacon, fresh fruit and vegetables, have been silenced by the harsh realities. They became resigned, and refugees huddled in corners could be seen everywhere in and around the base city. They gather in the vicinity of the ration points every day, and there have been several vicious cases of intercepting and killing soldiers delivering food and looting supplies. Although the Judge Advocate General's Office caught the killers and punished them severely, it was clear that the bodies hanging from wooden poles had no deterrent effect on the living refugees.

The Ministry of Defense's recruitment propaganda posters were plastered all over the streets, but very few refugees took the initiative to enter the recruitment points. Although the poster made it clear that if you walked into the barracks, you would be provided with enough food and fortifications, no one was willing to respond to the government's call. They would rather not have enough to eat every day, and would rather run outside every day than put on a military uniform and fight mutant creatures face to face.

The situation is really strange, and Admiral Anderson is puzzled by it.

Sometimes, he really envied his Chinese colleagues on the other side of the ocean. They can have countless refugees willing to join at the sound of an order. In the United States, this is unthinkable. Deterrent effect.
