The coast of the United States was attacked five hours later than that of China. When the news of Southeast Asian countries being attacked by the Spectral Claw was overwhelming, the Americans were still quiet. ⊙,
Of course, a large number of Americans have already evacuated the dangerous coastline.
Compared with the new version of the Great Wall that China has tended to consolidate, the Americans' Great Wall plan is still in the imagination.
Although the 32 Group and the person in charge of China's new version of the Great Wall project sent a capable team to help the Americans build their rice version of the Great Wall.
And the plan was submitted.
But it is still stuck in the Road and Transportation Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, where the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party are still fighting over this bill.
Of course, the purpose of both parties is simple.
The Donkey Party wants to regard this Great Wall project as a political achievement of the Donkey Party, because once construction begins, it will definitely be a shot in the arm for Americans.
But for the Elephant Party, there are only a few days left anyway, and Obrica will be gone soon. Of course, this rice version of the Great Wall plan must be completed in the hands of the Elephant Party.
Therefore, the Road and Transportation Committee of the House of Representatives, which has a majority of members from the Xiang Party, has raised many questions about the planning and design of the rice version of the Great Wall plan submitted by the Donkey Party.
For example, why a large part of the contractors were contracted to Huaxia, why the design of some important nodes was handed over to Saner Group for evaluation, why the chief designer was from Huaxia, etc. These questions are very controversial.
In their eyes, leaving these things to the Chinese people, the strategic rivals of the United States, is a major threat to the Americans.
According to the requirements of the Xiang Party, it is best for these contractors to be handled by domestic engineering companies in the United States, so that there is no risk. Because the Chinese people are likely to turn the American version of the Great Wall project into a shoddy project.
And it is very likely that various things that are detrimental to the security of the United States will be placed in the American version of the Great Wall, etc.
All in all, in one word, the rice version of the Great Wall cannot allow Chinese people to participate.
Of course, the people in the Donkey Party are not vegetarians. They just ask the people in the Xiang Party whether there are any Americans who have more experience in building the "Great Wall" than the Chinese people, and whether there are any Americans who are as rich as the 32 Group.
experienced.
It is necessary to learn from the lessons of our predecessors, and cooperation with China is the most correct choice.
But the party-like people did not give in even a step.
Since the Democratic Party has a large number of people in the Road and Transport Committee, the bill has no chance to be submitted, let alone submitted to the House of Representatives for a vote.
Under the wrangling between the two parties, the rice version of the Great Wall plan was repeatedly delayed. When the beast wave occurred, the Americans did not know that their own rice version of the Great Wall was actually a piece of paper.
But of course, in California, on the west coast, under the leadership of the 32 Group and the Ron Consortium, a demonstration wall of about 700 meters was built.
However, the height is only six meters, and its thickness is far inferior to that of the Great Wall of China, which was mobilized nationwide. It is only a pitiful two meters thick.
In fact, until the Spectral Claw appeared on the coast of the United States, the Road and Transportation Committee of the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress was still wrangling over the American version of the Great Wall plan.
Then, the beast tide came.
As the first Ghost Claw monster washed up on the beach along the coastline, the US army and air force, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately dispatched in large numbers.
Although they don't have enough troops to defend all of the U.S. coastline.
However, in some important ports and beaches, the Americans still accumulated a large amount of troops and firepower.
Heavy artillery, armored vehicles, and fire walls were all used instantly.
The Spectral Claw monster encountered a sniper attack from the American army head-on. In a matter of moments, it also suffered heavy casualties.
Countless Spectral Claw monsters were suppressed by the fierce artillery fire of the American army, and were beaten to the point where they could hardly raise their heads.
Thousands of ghostclaw monsters were beaten up and down by the locust-like rain of bullets from the American army. In addition, the American army had first laid a large amount of oil on the coast.
As soon as the Spectral Claw monster entered the ambush circle, the oil was ignited. In an instant, the fifty or sixty-meter-wide ambush zone was burned into a sea of flames. Even if the Spectral Claw monster broke out of the ambush circle, waiting for them on the outside were various calibers.
of heavy artillery and tanks.
But the Ghost Claw monster, which suffered heavy casualties, did not give up.
Even if the ghost claw monster that rushed up in front was killed, the ghost claw monsters that came up afterward still rushed forward without stopping.
He quickly crushed the bodies of his companions in front of him and continued to move forward.
Although the American army's artillery fire was fierce, the defense line had to be pulled back under the successive attacks of the Ghostclaw monsters.
But still useless.
The fighting power of the Spectral Claw monster, which suffered countless casualties, was more insane than the Americans imagined.
Unlike in China, the Ghostclaw monsters encounter a wall that is too high to climb. After encountering obstacles, they can only find a way to cross the wall.
In the United States, after the Spectral Claw monster rushed up, all it encountered was a powerful fire net.
Although many ghost claw monsters were killed, more ghost claw monsters still rushed over.
A huge swarm of ghostclaw monsters was eating away at the American defense line step by step.
The American army retreated step by step.
But this is not the most serious thing.
What's more serious is that after the American army resisted for more than an hour, many already weak defense points on the coastline were lost.
There was no one to defend those places, so when the Spectral Claws washed up on the shore, it was almost like they were in no man's land.
After they captured those territories, they immediately turned around and attacked the American defense line from behind.
This resulted in the American troops being attacked from both front and rear in many places.
Two hours after the beast wave came, the American army's defense line was still stable in key defense areas, but many other places were declared to have been lost.
What is different from the last beast tide is that this time the Americans have already taken precautions. Therefore, although these monsters have attacked the coast, ordinary American people have already evacuated the coastal cities.
So civilian casualties were very few.
However, the casualties of the American soldiers were extremely heavy.
In just two hours, an American army division was crippled, three Marine brigades were disabled, and a heavy armored brigade was defeated.
More than 3,000 people were killed, and more than 10,000 were injured.
Such casualties are simply unacceptable to Americans.
After Obrica received the news from the front line, her whole mood was extremely bad.
The scale of this beast wave is much larger than what the Americans expected. On the contrary, it is similar to what the 32 Group estimated.
And the timing is just right.
In addition to giving the National Academy of Sciences a hard slap, what Obrica is most worried about now is how to deal with it next.
Less than half an hour after the beast tide broke out on the west coast, it also began to break out on the east coast at the same time.
Obrica immediately declared a state of emergency across the United States.
Two hours later, martial law was declared nationwide to prepare for war.
Three hours later, except for some heavily defended coastal cities, almost all other coastal cities fell.
Fortunately, civilians have basically moved inland to areas within 200 kilometers, so the number of civilian casualties reported so far is only a few thousand.
Obrica stared at the casualty figures reported from various places, her eyes widening.
One hundred thousand people is a thread in his mind. If it exceeds one hundred thousand people, the Donkey Party will become a target and he himself will become a target, so he must keep this limit.
But seeing the current increase in numbers, his heart collapsed at the moment.
At present, the death toll of military soldiers and civilians has exceeded 10,000, and the number of injured has exceeded 70,000.
And this number is still increasing at an accelerating rate.
Judging from this trend, let alone 100,000, I'm afraid 200,000 is a conservative number.
Because the defense lines everywhere are basically lost now, when the Ghost Claw monster really penetrates deep into the territory, then the massacre will begin.
It is inevitable that the number of casualties will rise rapidly by then, not to mention that the current data must still miss a large number of deaths that are not included in the statistics.
"What's going on over there in China?" Obrica looked at the series of numbers. Another clue came to mind, which was naturally the current situation of China.
The United States is in danger now, but it would be great if China was as miserable as the United States. Or even worse than the United States.
If ordinary people compare the two, public opinion will definitely be in their favor.
"China?" Walker Carlson thought for a moment, then quickly picked up the phone and started dialing. After a while, he turned on the phone in his hand, as if reading the message.
"Mr. President, according to incomplete statistics on the current casualties in China, the number of dead has reached 736, and the number of injured may exceed 2,000."
"What? 736 people." The pen that was spinning in Obrica's hand suddenly fell on the table. "Are there two zeros missing from the end of this number?"
"Mr. President." Walker obviously knew Obrica's inner thoughts and said helplessly, "I just confirmed it twice. This number is probably false, because the Chinese government said that if someone died
The Spectral Claw Monster will receive a compensation, so it is not ruled out that some people deliberately report false data."
"Hell, the tide of beasts over there has been starting for more than five hours, right?"
Walker nodded, looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "To be exact, it's eight hours and forty-seven minutes."
"So, China has survived its most difficult moment?" The pen in Obrica's hand almost broke into two pieces.
Walker nodded: "According to the law of the beast tide, it is now in a period of decline. Only a few Spectral Claw monsters have successfully landed in China, but those areas are places with relatively few people, and most civilians have been evacuated.
And their emergency warrior team arrived in time."
Hearing this, Obrika's chest felt tight again and she almost vomited blood.
The opponent has been fighting for almost nine hours, and less than a thousand people have died. If this trend continues, Huaxia will only have four to five thousand people die at most.
It was ten times less than their declared target of 50,000 people, ten times!
On the American side, in just over three hours, tens of thousands of people have already died, and this has just begun, and the next most ferocious beast attack has not yet arrived.
"Immediately order all the troops to snipe these son-of-a-bitch monsters with all their strength. In addition, there are some baits that the Spectral Claw monsters like. Hurry up and put them in remote areas to attract their attention. Don't let them invade civilians wantonly."
"And our warrior troops should also take action immediately. Our casualties must be controlled within 50,000, 50,000 or less." Obrica said with a livid face, and the pen in his hand was finally broken in half.
Walker looked troubled after hearing this.
As the president's most important aide, he undoubtedly has the most comprehensive information.
In fact, the Spectral Claw Monster has invaded the Mizhou Continent Plain. For the Spectral Claw Monster, many places are just a flat plain with no danger to defend. Ordinary civilians have no ability to resist except hiding. If they want to
Control the death toll. Unless those monsters act stupidly and leave obediently, a catastrophe is inevitable.
"Mr. President, actually we have another way." Walker said, "We can immediately sign an emergency mobilization decree and order the free requisition of warriors from all large consortiums and wealthy families to snipe the Spectral Claw monsters everywhere."
When Obrika heard this, she rolled her eyes at Walker: "You think I don't want to, but if I really do this, I will be driven out of office by those people in minutes."
"The situation is urgent now. Although we have offended those big financial groups, it is still like killing countless civilians in vain."
Obrica shook his head: "None of us would agree to this kind of bill."
"Your Excellency, please be more gentle and say that this is not a free requisition, but an emergency mobilization order, allowing warriors across the country to organize themselves to deal with the invasion of the Spectral Claw monsters. There are at least 100,000 official warriors in the United States. Once this powerful force is activated,
Getting up is also a huge boost."
"Then just do what you said and make a draft for me right away." Upon hearing this, Obrica immediately nodded and agreed. This is much better than shouting slogans.
"Those idiots in Congress are still wrangling over the Great Wall Project." Walker couldn't help but say again before leaving.
"These damn people." Obrica slammed the table and stood up. "It's all thanks to them that we will end up like this." He paused for a moment, seeming to think of something, and immediately continued, "Help me arrange it."
I want to give a speech to the people of the country."
Obrica delivered an urgent speech at the White House.
In the speech, he called on the American people to be strong and united, and hoped that the American people would work together to overcome the difficulties.
He vowed that he would lead the United States to minimize losses.
The speech was successful, but the actual data hit him to the bottom.
Five hours after the beast tide began, more than 30,000 people were reported dead in various parts of the United States, and more than 17,000 Ghostclaw monsters rushed into the North American continent.
Then the defense battles for big cities began.
Famous cities such as Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and New York are all besieged by Spectral Claw monsters. A large number of armed forces have been accumulated in the cities, but unfortunately they are of little use.
Soon, the first city to fall was Portland, an Ohio city that still had more than 200,000 people evacuated. It fell six hours after the beast wave occurred. (To be continued...)
