The two-ter-thick, 25-ton alloy giant door slowly opened, and the incandescent lamp behind it lit up one after another as they welcod a group of unusual visitors.
The soldiers stationed at the door saluted, then stepped aside.
The group of people stepped through the door, then the engine that was connected to the door once again started.
With the sound of muffled steel friction, Mike Pence’s mood also returned from restlessness to calmness with the giant door gradually closing.
After the door closed, the entire base was completely isolated from the outside world, and the door could only be opened from the inside.
Mike Pence was no longer as concerned about the starship above him. Even if the kinetic bombardnt weapon was rumored to be comparable to a nuclear explosion, it would not be able to make a dent in this place. The imaginary enemy used to design this place was “Big Ivan”, and its shockwave could create a shockwave that travelled around the Earth three tis...
The high wall of the command center showed the logos of the four major headquarters. The walls, floors, ceilings, corridors, and stairs in the building were all built with tailor-welded steel plates. Although the facilities looked outdated, the most advanced military command system in the UA and even the world was hidden here.
“How is the situation in Capital?” After Mike Pence stepped in to the command center. He did not dare to rest for even a mont as he imdiately asked Secretary of Defense Jas Mattis who had been waiting here for a long ti, “I just got off from the plane, and I now need first-hand information from the frontline.”
After a mont of silence, Jas Mattis spoke slowly.
“About twelve hours ago, the Rainbow House...had fallen.”
Mike Pence was not surprised by this result. When he evacuated from Capital through a special channel, the Lincoln morial was already captured by Celestial Trade’s orbital airborne brigade. That place was only two blocks away from the Rainbow House Presidential Park, and it was impossible for the National Guard stationed there to stop those people.
To defeat Celestial Trade on the battlefield, the UA had to rely on its strong war mobilization capabilities and industrial capabilities. He had to do two things at this mont. One was to address the people of the UA in a war mobilization speech, and the other was to mobilize the National Guards of each state to fight the invasion of Celestial Trade.
They had to hold the defense at least till he mobilized the two hundred divisions...
“Where is our aircraft carrier battle group?” After Mike Pence digested the information that the Rainbow House had fallen in two seconds, he continued, “Their current defense forces are bound to be empty...”
Jas Mattis’s expression gradually turned worse, and the several senior defense officers next to him also looked at each other with concerns.
From their expressions, Mike Pence had already noticed sothing. However, just as he frowned and was about to question further, his Secretary of Defense took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind and spoke slowly.
“Our aircraft carrier battle group...”
“Encountered a category 6 hurricane when they were passing through the Mariana Islands...”
After Mike Pence swallowed down the dry lump in his throat, he started to turn pale, his voice started to tremble as he asked.
“Then?”
Matisse lowered his head, then said in pain.
“Unfortunately, ...they sunk!”
...
The battle at Capital and downtown Nouveau York had ended.
The National Guard at either state was obviously no match for Celestial Trade. At Capital, after the orbital airborne brigade controlled the city center, it imdiately declared martial law throughout the city and required all people to stay at ho within 24 hours, and at the sa ti, launched a campaign against the remaining resistance on the street.
On the other side, in Nouveau York, the 1st chanized infantry division that occupied Manhattan Island placed the flag of Xin on the roofs of the Nouveau York Stock Exchange and the Empire State Building.
The treasury of the Federal Reserve Bank of Nouveau York, a few steps away from Wall Street, was naturally under Celestial Trade control. The Federal Reserve Police that claid to be capable of defending a small-to-dium city, only symbolically resisted before it surrendered.
Obviously, they were not as brave as the rumors said.
After all, they were not against a mob of rioters, but well-trained soldiers.
The door of the vault opened, and the pieces of shining gold were neatly stacked like bricks. The whole wall was made of gold, just like the Eldorado in Inca legend, the sparkling golden light could literally blind people.
The gold reserve here accounted for about a quarter of the global gold reserve!
Of course, the occupation of the vault was just one of the side quests. After Luo Zheng left a company of troops here, he imdiately led his troops to Nouveau Jersey across the bank. On the other hand, the 2nd chanized division responsible for attacking Kennedy Airport also successfully broke through the line of defense of the First Calvary Division of UA and ford a siege with the amphibious assault force that landed on the beach. They had surrounded the main battle force of the National Guard and the First Calvary Division.
After the SS Expedition reloaded, it fired five tungsten-rod projectiles towards the East Coast of North Arica. The main targets were large military installations detected by Aurora-20s and an artillery position that was just finished.
At this mont, the UA military once again experienced the fear of being aid at by a space-based kinetic bombardnt weapon...
It was about three hundred and fifty nautical miles from the East Coast of North Arica.
A beautiful yacht sailed through the calm Atlantic Ocean.
Freshwater swimming pools, red wine, bikinis, and blonde Persian beauties... Although the East Coast hundreds of kiloters was already war-torn, the upper class in North Arica still seed to be living in luxury and lavishness.
Of course, all this was just a “disguise”.
As early as three days ago, this cruise ship departed from Manhattan Island.
The owner of this yacht was under a British real estate developer, who was hosting a party celebrating the opening of a European subway. However, in fact, the owner behind this cruise ship was probably the richest person in the world...
After he took over the seat of the Jewish consortium in the Federal Reserve, he was indeed deserving of the title. Although this wealth belonged to the entire Morgan family, as the current owner of the Morgan consortium, it made little difference.
Sitting in the cabin on top of the tanker, Morgan narrowed his eyes as he looked into the horizon.
The red wine on the table to his right had sat there for a long ti, but whether it was the red wine, or the beautiful blonde won outside the window, he was not in the mood. Just a few minutes ago, he heard the news of Nouveau York falling from his n.
Celestial Trade not only occupied his company, but also used his building as a temporary headquarters...
It was simply a humiliation to him and the Morgan family!
Morgan looked at the assistant who walked in, then slowly asked.
“Where is Rockefeller?”
“I can’t get in touch with him for the ti being, but he should have escaped.”
At this mont, the cruise ship that was sailing smoothly suddenly shook violently.
Morgan grabbed tightly onto the armrests of his chair, then frowned
“What are they doing...”
The expression on his face froze in the middle of his sentence.
The white waves splashed onto the front deck of the yacht. The n and won playing beside the pool exclaid and all stepped back, as they watched the submarine that erged.
In order to avoid colliding with the submarine, the captain was forced to stop the yacht and went to the deck to try to negotiate with the people who got out of the submarine.
Morgan firmly grasping the armrests of the chair with both hands as pupils constricted to a dot.
Suddenly, the tensed face loosened as he laughed out loud.
Morgan leaned back, and finally reached for the glass of red wine. As he watched the Celestial Trade soldiers start to board, as well as the confused crowd on the ship, he raised his glass, downed the drink, and finally laughed self-deprecatingly.
“Using a nuclear submarine for an old man.”
“I have to say it’s an honor to treat with such importance.”
