886 Unexpected reinforcements
"IāI'm not very good at water...... "Now the pony is embarrassed, looking at the black and shady sewage that doesn't taste good, I really don't have the courage to go down. It's one thing not to be afraid of death, but it's another to drown in the water.
"Cut, look here, the new generation of black bars in the waves is also...... It just so happens that the rope you brought is too useful. Come, tie me around my waist, honestly hold the flashlight here, and you pull the rope hard, do you understand? ā
While speaking, Zhang Ke had already taken off his clothes and pants outside, and just after blowing a sentence, he saw the rope on the pony's shoulder, and changed the topic in time. There is a specialization in the art industry.,When I just came down.,Chung Nam Le also reminded me not to use a rope.,As a result, I didn't think I was sinking with it.,No,Use it!.
Lesson, if you encounter something that you are not sure about in the future, you really have to listen to the opinions of others. Even if it doesn't sound like it's too important, pay as much attention as possible.
"Whoa...... "Tie the rope, Zhang Ke took a deep breath in the gas mask, took off the mask, and quickly disappeared through the sewage.......
The rope was taken out little by little, and in about 1 minute, there was a force on the rope. The pony bit the flashlight in his mouth, and his hands quickly turned upside down, dragging Zhang Ke like a torpedo like a human-shaped reel, and rushed straight out of the water.
"How?" Before Zhang Ke could stand firmly, the gas mask was put on his head again, and then he asked.
āā¦ā¦ Whew, I didn't see it, but there were a lot of biting rats! ā
Zhang Ke could actually hold back a little longer, but in the face of the swarm of rats swarming and grinning, he didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, and pulled the rope in advance. As a result, the pony reacted so quickly and had enough strength that the rope around his waist almost strangled him, and he gasped several times before he could speak.
"Mouse?" Pony thinks that this sentence can be left unsaid, and there is nothing in the last days, except for rats.
"Rats also have to breathe, and if they can live, they can live. You wait here, I'll go up there and find help! Zhang Ke untied the rope and ran up without even planning to wear his clothes.
There was so much water in the three-story garage that it was almost filled with no light. In this environment, the water nature of ordinary people is no longer enough to search, and they must find helpers, such as the navy. They have snorkels and oxygen cylinders for repairing boats, as well as professional divers, who are best suited for this kind of work.
"Brother Mouse......" left the pony alone, looking at the points of light and dark shadows that kept appearing on the water, probably arguing the direction, and kneeling down towards the west. Holding a flashlight in one hand, touching his chest with the other, he silently read the eulogy in his mouth.
He is not as optimistic as Zhang Ke, the rats in the ruins are like hyenas on the African savannah in the old world, as long as they come across something to eat, they will be swept away in a moment, and there will be no big bones left.
If the gold diggers are injured and cannot be rescued in a short time, most of them choose to commit suicide. It's not that I'm afraid of being scratched and bitten by zombies, but I'm afraid of being eaten by a swarm of rats. Watching his body being bitten piece by piece is deeper than the fear of death.
Although this eldest brother used to be in a high position before, and later became a hero, he is still a rat, but he is really not the eldest brother of the rats. If you had gotten into the third floor of sewage to avoid incendiary bombs, you would have only been left with a pile of broken bones.
Zhang Ke didn't walk long, just a few minutes after the few soldiers who went deep into the second-floor garage to reconnoiter returned to the ramp according to the specified time, he came back, followed by more than a dozen soldiers wearing navy blue military uniforms and carrying two large iron boxes, and the marines came!
The second unit to arrive at the community was not an air service regiment composed entirely of horses, nor was it a follow-up to the 1st Reserve Brigade, but a Marine Corps that followed the gunboats south.
This small force, with a total of only 200 people, is actually not a purely operational sequence, but more like an engineer of the Navy Special Operations Company Guards. The task in peacetime is not to fight, but to quickly set up temporary docks, clean up the harbor zombies, and deploy patrols when naval ships arrive in unfamiliar ports.
In addition to him
We also have a daily job, which is to follow the naval ships to sweep the ports of various countries near East Asia, looking for all useful supplies. After finding it, find a way to transport it back to the ship and take it to the port of Jinmen, where you can use it for your own use, and if you can't use it, you can simply sell it to local merchants, or exchange it in a barter way.
Could it be that someone in the coalition military is using the Navy for smuggling? This wronged Jiao Qiao, because the navy was established by Hong Tao in the name of going overseas to search for urgently needed materials, weapons and ammunition, and the opposition at that time was not small.
Most of the top echelons of the alliance believe that there is little point in building a navy at this time, as there is no need to defend the sea or to fight at sea. Survivors around the world are too busy to even do things on land, where can they find time to figure out the ocean.
Later, when I saw that the navy had really brought back a lot of good things from South Korea and Japan, including weapons and ammunition, and that it could still catch fish and kelp in the coastal waters in normal times, which effectively enriched everyone's dinner table, the opposition gradually subsided.
However, as the remaining weapons and ammunition of the old world gradually dried up, when applying for the budget every year, the most cut was the navy's military spending. But don't look at the smallest number of people in the navy, there is only one destroyer and a few small cargo ships, but the consumption is quite a lot.
What if the military budget is not enough? At that time, Randy was still the Minister of Armed Forces, so he gave the Navy an idea, don't wait or rely on, really work hard, we also have two hands, why eat at home!
The Navy has the advantage of the Navy, the ship's boiler can directly burn heavy oil, the cost of long-distance voyages is low and the cargo capacity is large. The ports on the western coast of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago are out of stock, so you can go to the central and eastern ports to take a turn. Finding the local ammunition depot and getting it back is a great credit, and it will be much harder to ask for military spending next year.
If you can't find an ammunition depot, you won't run in vain, in addition to using it as training to enhance the combat effectiveness of naval officers and men, you can also bring some urgently needed supplies back. What the alliance wants to buy is sold to the alliance, and what the alliance doesn't need too urgently is sold to the outcast merchants. Anyway, as long as the goods are on the right road, tens of tons or hundreds of tons are not a problem.
When you have the money in your hand, you can talk about building new ships, new docks, machine factories, etc., and no one will get stuck. Of course, the accounts must be managed clearly, and the hand should not be stretched too long, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs catches the handle, no one can save it.
The solution was there, the policy was given, and the commander of the navy happily did it several times, but it turned out that there was still a big problem to be solved, that is, manpower. If the sailors on the navy ships alone could not complete the arduous task of cleaning up and exploring unfamiliar ports, searching on land, and carrying goods onto ships.
Let's ask the army for help, let's not talk about how to divide the spoils, just the problem of seasickness is not easy to solve. Moreover, the army has always looked down on the navy, and every year it complains that the navy has to take a piece of the limited military expenditure, but its combat capability is far less than that of the air force, which is a pure waste.
When Jiao Qiao took office, the commander of the navy was replaced by the younger Hitoki Wada. He fought for more than half a year, and finally got approval to allow the Navy to build a Marine Corps, but he had to pay a certain amount of scarce supplies to the Union government every year.
The matter is not over here, and it is difficult to recruit people with the establishment. Most of the official residents are reluctant to join the navy, because the danger is too great, and the treatment is not as good as that of the army and air force. Second, the conditions required by the navy are too harsh, and it is useless to be in good health, and it is necessary to have a certain level of cultural quality.
In the end, we had to recruit from the homeless, but the effect was not ideal. With the exception of some of the foreign survivors who were already living in the seaside port cities, most of the survivors from the interior would rather work as temporary workers than seek a living from the sea.
Even some survivors who really can't survive and plan to take risks to survive, most of them can't pass the recruit assessment. Either the health is not good, or the cultural foundation is too poor, and after nearly five years, not even a battalion can be gathered.
But it was this small pocket unit, after hearing that Chairman Hong might be trapped in the north of the city, and was bombed by incendiary bombs of the 1st Reserve Brigade, without saying a word, the captains of two gunboats led the team ashore overnight.
Driving two engineering vehicles converted from amphibious tanks, with only one set of surgical equipment, three military doctors, and all the demolition tools and rescue equipment imaginable, he went straight along the highway at the speed of a rapid march to his destination. _&
