Chapter 497: Subic Naval Base Ends(2/2)
He knew that Sean's umbrella had a garrison in Fanni, with 1,000 people, and they were temporarily sheltered there. He believed that the umbrella would not refuse business from the Gujiao Building.
"Sir, what should we do with the Air Force?" someone asked urgently.
Daniel shook his head. He didn't know. The plane didn't take off as soon as it was said to take off. According to the procedures, it was tested and refueled. Who knows if the time was enough.
Besides, it is still unknown whether the volcanic ash will affect these aircraft and how much impact it will have.
Taking off in a hurry is not necessarily a good choice. Maybe it is better to wait for the volcanic eruption to pass and then carry out repairs again?
He had to wait for the order from the Wuzhou Building. The top priority was to evacuate people.
Of course, the more important point is that if the aircraft or other military facilities are scrapped due to such unexpected circumstances, he will not face any criticism.
As long as people are fine!!
Fortunately, the response from the Wanfei Building was a little slower, but the US military's Pacific Command in Hawaii responded faster. After all, it is the unit in charge of all US military bases in Asia.
The 14th Commander-in-Chief, Huntington Hardesty was eating breakfast. He was shocked by the news and spit out a mouthful of milk. After cleaning up, he immediately contacted the Subic Military Base to inquire about the situation.
After learning the news, he praised Daniel's decisiveness, and on this basis, he once again ordered that those who could be transported by boat should take the boat, and those who could not be transported by car to Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Then there are planes and other things that need to be saved. According to logistics experts, once the plane is covered with volcanic ash, it will basically be scrapped. If it can run, run away as soon as possible.
The Pacific Command will make an urgent call to the Philippine government to borrow their airport, whether it is a military airport or a civilian airport.
Finally, Huntington Hardesty ordered that if possible, we should also consider helping to rescue the Filipinos, and at least leave some supplies, vehicles, etc., to show the serious and responsible image of the American people.
In just half an hour, the fallen volcanic ash has covered the entire Zambiral Mountains. The original green color is not visible at all, and all the eyes are covered with gray volcanic ash.
Not only that, the volcanic ash is also billowing and spreading towards the south.
Compared to the chaotic headquarters, the soldiers outside and nearby residents looked completely different.
Everyone was also packing up their things and getting into the car to run away. Some people were willing to listen to the military's arrangements, get on the ship and leave, while others chose to drive on their own and run along the highway towards Manila.
However, there are many birds in any forest, and some people are excitedly loading daily necessities into their cars.
Here, be sure not to head toward Mount Pinatubo.
They will sing songs, eat fire...eat cans, and see what a volcanic eruption looks like!
As for volcanic ash…
"Hey, friend, doesn't it feel like surfing?"
A young white man waved his arms vigorously and shouted loudly with a flushed face: "Behind us is the overwhelming volcanic ash rolling in. We drove our vehicles and fled in front of the volcanic ash!"
"Imagine this scene, man, hell is coming, and behind you are the army of hell. We are the protagonists in the movie, and we have to send back the first-hand news. Think about it, think about it, does this look like a scene in a movie?"
"Oh, god!"
"I can't fucking help it anymore, I'm going over there now, I think I should ride a motorcycle, yeah, yeah, Harley, like the Ghost Rider in Marvel!"
As soon as this suggestion was made, a group of people around him cheered.
So it makes sense that there are fewer Americans!
Of course, many people are heading towards Mount Pinatubo not just for excitement. Some are journalists, hoping to take first-hand pictures. Such sudden and unexpected events will simply cost the Pulitzer Prize for Photography.
Delivered to hand!
There are also some people who are simply curious and want to see the majesty of nature. This kind of thing is only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so why not cherish it.
In everyone's opinion, as long as it is not submerged by magma, it will not have much impact if it is just volcanic ash and it will not kill people.
Anyway, there's everything I'm doing at the moment.
very messy.
At this moment, at the foot of the Zambiral Mountains, billowing smoke and dust are rolling towards the towns below for days and days. It is like the gates of hell are opening and the end of the world is coming!
To the Filipinos living here, they don’t know any bullshit excitement, bullshit natural wonders, or bullshit Pulitzer Prizes.
All they saw was disaster.
…
On the other side, we finally arrived at the preset landing point before Z5 used up the last bit of fuel.
This is a cargo ship that has been berthed here for a long time. The only thing that makes people frown is that the cargo ship is shaking a lot, much more than expected!
The propagation speed of earthquakes far exceeds the speed of aircraft flight, and the sea waves surge up to a height of more than two meters. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Zhi5 to land safely.
Faced with this situation, Neil gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and airborne!
As for the helicopter…
Damn it, don’t give it up, I don’t have much money, it’s going to sink.
After making a decision, Neil and the bodyguard took the lead in landing on the ship through the rappel. The pilot pulled the plane to an altitude of 1,000 meters, set autopilot, turned around and jumped off.
The surge was huge, but fortunately enough, I was finally pulled onto the boat.
After Neil ordered the boat to sail, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and were in the mood to see their masterpiece.
"Did we fucking do this?" Neil stared dumbfoundedly at the towering smoke rising up into the sky. Even though he was more than 100 kilometers away, he could still see the plume of smoke, and everyone was speechless.
"If nothing else, we should have done it!" the bodyguard beside him said while shaking his head.
"Fake, the volcano is still erupting. I checked before and said it hasn't erupted in more than 600 years!" Neil looked at the horizon, his expression gradually became excited, and he waved his fist fiercely at the horizon.
"Did you see, did you see, what we did, we exploded a volcano!!" Neil turned his head and grabbed the shoulders of the person next to him and shook them vigorously, his face flushed, as if he had an orgasm.
How many people around the world have exploded a volcano?
Neil thinks it must be less than the President of the United States!
Is this a unique achievement?
At least that’s what he thinks. Although he can’t make it public, he’s really excited!
Especially when the sound of explosions kept coming from behind, their helicopters flew outwards in a race against time.
It's more exciting than going to the battlefield.
Everyone vented hard for a while before slowly calming down.
Looking at the scene over there, Neil murmured in his mind again, why did Sean ask him to blow up that volcano?
…
"Located in the western Philippines, 30 kilometers north of the Subic military base, Mount Pinatubo suddenly erupted yesterday after being dormant for more than 600 years. Let's take a look at the reports sent back by our frontline reporters."
This is an edited route. First, there is a volcanic eruption, with thick smoke rising straight into the sky, and then there is an aerial shot. The volcanic ash keeps rising upwards. I don’t know how high it reaches, but it far exceeds the maximum flight height of the helicopter used for filming.
Looking down, there are no mountains or volcanoes to be seen, only billowing smoke covering everything that can be seen with the naked eye.
As soon as the scene changed, billowing volcanic ash came overwhelmingly, chasing the vehicles running wildly on the road.
Just looking at this shot, I would have thought it was something that only appears in movies.
Then there is the long motorcade on the road to Manila. Some people in the car will lower their windows and greet the camera with a smile.
A scene of a hasty evacuation from a military base.
Sean learned about the eruption of Mount Pinatubo from TV. He didn't have much first-hand information, but the TV station had already sent people to Manila urgently to enter the disaster area to capture first-hand information.
He only told Neil about this matter, and then Neil took care of it, even the people around him didn't know.
Sean was not afraid of being found out for planning the artificial detonation of the volcano.
When a volcano erupts, Sean doesn't know whether it is the energy level of hundreds or thousands of nuclear bombs. Anyway, he doesn't think those depth bombs and things on the water can survive in the magma!
No matter how we investigate afterwards, it was a natural disaster!
Besides, volcanoes cannot be detonated by just throwing a few bombs.
That's because Sean remembers that Mount Pinatubo will erupt next year, and the Subic military base will be scrapped due to the overwhelming volcanic ash. In the end, the United States refused to continue leasing the military base, and it did not rebuild it until he was killed in his previous life.
.
Yes, unlike what the general public thinks, it is the Philippines that will not lease to the United States after the end, but the United States will cancel the lease.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is because a lot of things happened during this year.
The Gulf War, the dismantling of military bases, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union all came together, so Sean has deep memories.
And his purpose is to get rid of the military base!
Once next year comes and the countdown to the disintegration of the Soviet Union becomes irreversible, then the U.S. government is likely to refuse to continue to open military bases in Southeast Asia just like it did in the previous life. So how can Sean have any reason to encourage the military to agree to his plan to divide the troops into separate armies?
.
For the sake of the overall situation and to save the people of Sarawak, we can only let the Filipinos sacrifice themselves.
Sean observed a full three seconds of silence for them. The people of Sarawak will remember...well, although they won't remember you, but don't worry, I, Sean,
Chapter completed!
