Chapter 1476: The Wings Can't Escape
The alloy giant door, which was as thick as two meters and weighed 25 tons, slowly opened, and the incandescent lamp behind it lit up one after another, welcoming a group of unusual visitors.
The soldiers stationed at the door saluted and made way.
The group passed through the door and the engine connecting the door started again.
As the depressing sound of steel friction sounded, Mike Pence's mood returned from restlessness to calmness with the gradually closed giant door.
After the door is closed, the entire base will be completely isolated from the outside world and can only be opened from the inside.
Mike Pence was no longer as worried about the starship flying above his head as before. Even a space-based weapon comparable to a nuclear explosion could not hurt here at all. After all, its imaginary enemy is "Big Ivan". The shock wave of the explosion in the legend can circle the earth three times...
On the high wall facing the command center are the logos of the four major commands. The walls, floors, ceilings, corridors and stairs in the building are all welded from steel plates. Although the facilities look old, it hides the most advanced military command system in the United States and even the world.
"How is the situation in Washington?" Walking into the command room, Mike Pence didn't dare to rest for a moment, and immediately asked the Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who had been waiting here for a long time. "I just got off the plane and I need first-hand information on the front line now."
After a moment of silence, James Mattis spoke slowly.
"About twelve hours ago, the White House... had fallen."
Mike Pence was not surprised by this result. When he evacuated from Washington through a special passage, the Lincoln Memorial was captured by the orbital airborne brigade of the Star Ring Trade. From there, only two streets to White House Presidential Park, the D.C. National Guard, who was in charge of the garrison, could not stop those people.
If he wants to defeat the Star Ring Trade on the front battlefield, he must rely on the strong war mobilization capabilities and industrial heritage. He is about to do two things now, one is to deliver a war mobilization speech in the face of the people of the United States, and the other is to mobilize the National Guards of each state to fight the aggression of the Star Ring Trade.
At least until he mobilized two hundred divisions...
"Where is our aircraft carrier battle group?" After about two seconds of digesting the news of the fall of the White House, Mike Pence continued, "Their current local defense must be empty..."
James Mattis's face gradually became ugly, and several senior defense officers next to him also looked at each other, with a bad look.
Mike Pence had noticed something from the expressions on several people's faces. However, just as he frowned slightly and was about to ask, his Minister of Defense took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind and spoke slowly.
"Our aircraft carrier battle group..."
"Passing through the Mariana Islands, encountering a strong typhoon of level 15..."
Pence asked in a trembling voice after swallowing, and he began to pale.
"Then?"
Matisse said sorrowfully, lowering his head.
"Unfortunately...sinks!"
...
The war between Washington and downtown New York City has ended.
Neither the District of Columbia nor the New York State National Guards were the opponents of the Star Ring Trade. In Washington, after the Orbital Airborne Brigade occupied the city center, it immediately announced martial law across the city, requiring irrelevant people to stay at home within 24 hours, and at the same time launch a crackdown on the remaining resistance forces on the street.
On the other hand, New York City, the First Mechanized Infantry Division, which occupied Manhattan Island, planted the flag of the New Kingdom on the roof of the New York Stock Exchange and the Empire State Building.
The New York Fed's vault, a few steps away from Wall Street, is naturally under the control of Star Ring Trade. The Federal Reserve Guard, who is known as sufficient to defend a small and medium-sized city, just made symbolic resistance and surrendered.
Obviously, they are not as brave as the rumored ones.
After all, they were not facing a mob, but well-trained soldiers.
The gate of the vault opened, and the orange-yellow gold was neatly stacked like bricks. The entire wall was made of gold, just like the legendary Golden Kingdom of the Incas, and the flashing golden light could blind people's eyes.
The gold stock here accounts for about one-quarter of the global gold stock!
Of course, occupying the Federal Reserve's vault was just a small incident. After leaving a company of troops stationed here, Luo Zheng immediately led his men to New Jersey on the other side. On the other hand, the Second Mechanized Division, responsible for attacking Kennedy Airport, also successfully broke through the defense line of a US jockey, forming a siege with the amphibious attack troops who were rushing to land, and wrapped the main force of the New York State National Guard and a jockey.
The Expedition, which completed the reload, continued to fire five tungsten-rod missiles on the east coast of North America. The main targets were large military facilities reconnaissance by Aurora-20, as well as a newly constructed artillery position.
At this moment, the US military once again felt the fear of being ridden by a space-based weapon...
It is about 350 nautical miles away from the east coast of North America.
A beautiful cruise ship is sailing on the calm Atlantic Ocean at this moment.
Freshwater swimming pools, red wine, bikini and blonde Persian cats... Although the East Coast hundreds of kilometers away has been riddled with holes, the upper class in North America seems to still live in luxury.
Of course all this is just "disguise".
As early as three days ago, the cruise ship departed from Manhattan Island.
The owner of this cruise ship, nominally a British real estate developer, is holding a party to celebrate the opening of a European subway. However, in fact, the owner behind this cruise ship is probably the richest person in the world...
After aggregating the seats of the Jewish consortium in the Federal Reserve, he was indeed worthy of this title. Although these wealth belonged to the entire Morgan family, as the current head of the Morgan consortium, belonging to the family is actually no different from his own.
Sitting in the cabin on the top of the tanker, Morgan squinted his eyes at the footage of the sea level.
The red wine on the table on his right hand had been on the table for a long time, but he was not in the mood to appreciate it at this moment, whether it was the red wine or the blonde beauty outside the window. Just a few minutes ago, he heard from his subordinates about the fall of New York.
Star Ring Trade not only occupied his company, but also regarded his building as a temporary command center...
This was a humiliation to him and the Morgan family!
Morgan asked slowly as he looked at the assistant who walked in.
"Where is Rockefeller?"
"I can't contact you for the time being, but I probably escaped."
At this moment, the cruise ship that was originally sailing smoothly suddenly shook violently.
Morgan frowned slightly as he grabbed the armrest of the chair.
"What are the people driving the boat doing..."
Halfway through his words, the expression on his face froze.
In front of the yacht, white waves hit the deck directly. The men and women playing by the swimming pool exclaimed and took two steps back, looking at the submarine rising from the sea level.
In order to avoid hitting the submarine, the captain who was responsible for driving the ship was forced to stop the ship and walked to the deck to try to negotiate with the person who had emerged from the submarine.
With both hands tightly grasping the armrests of the chair, Morgan's pupils contracted into a point.
Suddenly, the tense face burst into laughter.
Relying on the chair, Morgan's hand finally reached towards the glass of red wine, looking at the Star Ring Marines who were beginning to land on the deck, and the men and women who were looking at each other but still couldn't figure out the situation. He raised his glass from afar, drank it all, and then smiled mockingly.
"For a bad old man, a nuclear submarine was dispatched."
"It's a great honor to be able to respect me so much."
