Nine hundred and seventieth IX the eve of the beast tide
The White House in Washington, District of Columbia, United States,
A high-level security meeting is being held.
The meeting was attended by the president's senior staff and military representatives.
The White House security adviser and chief of staff, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the secretary of defense, as well as the secretary of state.
Walker Carlson, the chief butler of the White House, played a video using ppt in front of the conference table. The video was the battle video uploaded by Xingye to the official website of 32 Group.
Everyone watched the entire video with solemn expressions.
The video is not long, only five minutes, and has not been edited.
The video was shot by a sailor in the battle command room on the bridge of the Xingye when the warriors and Ning Yi were fighting the Red Demon Dragon on the deck.
Of course, the upload was approved by Ning Yi and others.
This video represents a historic moment for the 32 Group.
When the video was taken, it happened to be the most intense moment of the battle. There were at least twenty red dragons in the sky taking turns attacking everyone on the deck.
At that time, except for the snipers on the bridge who were blocking the Red Demonic Dragon, other thermal weapons had already gone off.
So it was entirely up to them to use long-range skills, part of Skynet, and Ning Yi alone to fight so many red dragons.
Those who were injured also happened at that moment.
During the filming of the video, four green-level warriors and two yellow-level warriors were injured, but at the same time, the process of killing the red demon dragon with their long-range skills was also filmed.
Of course, the biggest protagonist is undoubtedly Ning Yi.
He dealt with three red demon dragons by himself with ease, and he also directly killed one of them and severely injured another.
In the short five-minute video, a total of three red dragons were killed, and four were at least seriously injured.
Such results are definitely a record.
Therefore, after watching the video, Obrica and his staff all had expressionless faces and their brows were tightly knitted.
This is normal. If the people on the Xingye were Americans, they would be happy, but now everyone on the Xingye is Chinese and is a strategic rival.
Although the United States is also cooperating with the 32 Group.
But no one wants their strategic opponents to be stronger than themselves.
"Are our people capable of doing this?" Obrika put a hand on her cheek and turned to the Minister of Defense.
The Secretary of Defense then slowly turned his attention to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The latter looked at the others and found that he was the only one who truly belonged to the military. He had no choice but to reply: "The God of War team we are forming may have this ability in the future."
"Team God of War?" Obrica shook the pen in her hand, "Tell me about it."
"Mr. President, we found that it is really difficult for ordinary warriors to deal with some high-level monsters. Therefore, our idea is to form a combat team similar to the Dragon Slayer, but with a slightly better functional ability.
Change, in the future they will only be used to deal with high-level monsters."
"The current plan is that the cultivation level must be above the yellow level, mainly green level, and strive to form a powerful special force of more than fifty people. This force will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Pentagon."
Obrica nodded: "What else? Budget, when can the organization be completed?"
"Our plan is 20 billion meters of gold, expected within two years."
Obrica frowned.
Two years? Two years is too long for him. The Ares Group will be established in two years. That will be the political achievement of the next president. Who will remember that he led it?
What kind of person is Walker Carlson? He immediately saw the deep meaning in Obrika's eyes.
Then he cleared his throat and said: "With all due respect. Sir Charles, two years is not a little too long for us. The crisis of the beast tide is already imminent, but forming such a group is not enough."
We still have to wait two years, and we won’t even know what the United States of America will look like by then."
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shook his head: "Two years is relatively fast. It is said that it took more than ten years to form the Dragon Slayers back then, and we still need to equip them with corresponding weapons, training venues and various equipment.
Special equipment."
Obrica waved her hand, stared at Charles and said calmly: "General, I have to remind you that the 32 Group has been established for less than two years."
Hearing this, Charles was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and replied awkwardly in a low voice: "Your Excellency, we don't have such good resources now. Many people don't trust us, or don't believe in our abilities."
Obrica spread her hands: "If they need money, we can try our best to satisfy them."
"Mr. President, this is not just a matter of money. To reach that level of cultivation, money is only one of the factors to consider. What is more important is their willingness and values." The Secretary of State said slowly.
"We can give them some special status, such as military rank. In addition, we can give them a higher honor than the 32 Group. General, I want you to give me a faster plan. At least it should start immediately after the beast tide is over.
Action." Obrica said impatiently.
"Mr. President" Charles looked obviously embarrassed.
"Okay, let's decide." Obrica interrupted him, "The next topic is that in three days, if the 32 Group's prediction is not wrong, the beast tide will come. Please report our response.
Everyone, I have an internal document from China. Their goal this time is less than 50,000 deaths and less than 300,000 injuries. You know they have a population of more than one billion, so what is our goal?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Obrica sighed: "Walker, in the assessment document you gave me last time, if we develop according to the last model, our acceptable number of deaths is 100,000. Do you think we need to change this number?
"
"Your Excellency, the State of China has completed almost one-third of the new version of the Great Wall." Walker said with some difficulty, "And our plan has not yet been submitted to Congress."
"What do you mean, our targets will only be more than those of China?" Obrica said, staring at Walker.
"Sir, our casualties during the last beast wave exceeded one million," Walker's voice became lower and lower.
"This time, we have many days of warning." Obrika reminded Walker by knocking on the table.
Walker nodded: "Yes, but even if we retreat inland, those monsters will still pursue us inland. The deeper we retreat, the deeper they will chase us. We will still have to spend a lot of money by then."
Use manpower and material resources to drive them away."
Obrica turned his attention to the Minister of Defense: "How prepared are our armed forces this time?"
The Minister of Defense also looked hesitant, but he looked at Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles, who nodded slightly to him. Then he said: "This time we are confident that we can give those damn monsters a head-on blow.
"
But Charles, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, immediately added: "The only problem is that our existing combat forces cannot fully deploy along our coastline, so if there are monsters that leak in, we may not be able to stop them."
"Is there no remedy?" Obrica asked slowly, turning the pen in her hand.
"Unless we immediately mobilize the whole country now, expand the army by five to six times, and purchase at least 30,000 additional armored vehicles or tanks, this will be an astronomical sum, and Congress will not agree."
The Secretary of State shrugged: "Even if Congress approves it, how can we manufacture 30,000 armored vehicles in such a short time?"
Obrica put down the pen in his hand and glanced at everyone. He said calmly: "Okay, I don't want you to make any excuses. In short, we must ensure that our casualties must be less than 300,000 and cannot exceed Huaxia
country, otherwise, our world leadership status will decline again, and I don’t think you will want to. One day, take your passports and ask China to take you in, right?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion again.
"Everyone, this time is related to the national destiny of the United States of America. I want you to submit a complete plan immediately within twelve hours. Our casualties must be controlled within 300,000." Obricka Station
He stood up and said in an accentuated tone.
At the same time, in the capital of China, a meeting with almost the same content was also held by senior leaders of China.
At the meeting, the country was also mobilized to fully respond to the next beast wave.
Two days before the predicted beast tide arrives, with the exception of China, residents of coastal cities in almost all coastal countries around the world have evacuated at least fifty kilometers from the coastline of coastal cities. But of course, this migrating army does not feel that it is safe now.
, they are still migrating inland.
But because the route was so crowded, many people had to stay halfway.
But no matter what, coastal cities are almost deserted and have become ghost towns.
Of course, there are also some desperate outlaws and petty thieves who take advantage of the situation and break into uninhabited mansions to plunder valuables that others cannot take away.
These are just some individual problems. The bigger problem is that according to incomplete statistics, almost 1.9 billion people around the world participated in this great escape.
Moreover, these billions of people still don’t know where they will go after the beast tide is over.
Many people who fled and residents living three to four hundred kilometers away from coastal cities also began to complain that their lives had been severely disrupted. Large-scale demonstrations and protests began to spread in major coastal countries in the world.
And soon, some protests and demonstrations turned bad, and a large number of people who fled directly began to turn into riots because they had no suitable shelter.
The police had no control over the situation.
Soon, armies from various countries had to intervene and forcibly evacuate the refugees.
The day before the beast tide, the situation in various countries was even more chaotic. What was even more frightening was that the migrating army was still very slow. The United States and China had announced some indicators respectively before this.
For example, the standards announced by Huaxia State are that an evacuation of 50 kilometers is an unstable safety area, an evacuation of 100 kilometers is a normal safety area, and an evacuation of 200 kilometers is a high-quality safety area.
However, the standards announced by the Americans are that an evacuation of 100 kilometers is an uncertain safety zone, an evacuation of 200 kilometers is a normal safety zone, and an evacuation of 400 kilometers is the best safety zone.
The corresponding distance has doubled for Americans.
The countries in Western Europe are basically the same as the United States, but the countries in Africa and South America and Oceania along the Mediterranean coast are difficult to determine. The territorial width of some of their countries does not even exceed 200 kilometers.
So the standard given by the governments of those countries is to run to a safe area on your own.
It is often these countries where the situation is the most chaotic.
In some small countries, the government has even been paralyzed. For example, in some small countries in Central and North America, the heads of government simply flew collectively to the center of the African continent to seek refuge in the name of visiting.
The abandoned citizens were in a mess. In order to escape, many people finally thought of digging cellars and hiding in them.
But in fact, this method has been confirmed by many people during the last beast wave, and it is not very reliable.
Firstly, the sniffing ability of the Spectral Claw is beyond human imagination; secondly, the digging ability of the Spectral Claw is also beyond human imagination.
Ordinary cellars can't stop the claws of the Spectral Claw at all.
The most profound lesson happened in the Philippines.
A small family in the Philippines, with about thirty people, thought they were safe hiding under a three-meter-deep cellar they dug.
However, the Ghost Claw forcefully opened a large gap at the cellar door, and in the end, no one in the group of more than thirty people was spared.
A neighbor in a high-rise building next door filmed the tragedy on DVD. Since then, many people have had great doubts about the protection ability of the cellar. If you are not careful with the cellar, you can easily become a turtle in the jar.
.
Of course, in the escape rules issued by governments of various countries to the people, cellars and air-raid shelters are actually the first choice, but the prerequisite is that they must be thick enough and there must be enough food stored in them.
The second is a sturdy high-rise building, because ghostclaws are generally not willing to climb heights, especially narrow stairs.
Then the third rule is to run away as far as you can. It is best to go into the dense forest, because the ghostclaw monsters are not willing to go into the dense forest, which will affect their movement speed.
Of course, all laws are useless. The one rule that people in all countries believe in most now is to escape as far as you can.
In the current situation, the only safest place is to go abroad or escape extremely deep inland.
But there is no way that more than one billion people in the world can get everything done so quickly. Even though there are seven or eight days of advance warning, until the day before the beast wave comes, there are still tens of millions of people around the world who have died due to various reasons.
And unable to escape from the coast.
They had to choose to hide in high-rise buildings or find cellars. Many elderly people with limited mobility were directly abandoned in their own homes.
But the governments of various countries have no choice but to leave it to fate.
The time of the beast tide has been approaching step by step with the pace of the hour hand. To be continued
ps: Douzi is on a business trip these days, so updates are irregular.
At the same time, I would also like to thank Sihuo Juju for the surprise. I started with 10,000 coins. Thank you very much.
