MTL - America’s Big Hero-v2 Chapter 497 : Subic Naval Base ends
"Oh, God!"
The exclamation of the helicopter pilot sounded from the communicator in the Subic Naval Base.
"Run, run, volcano, volcano!"
"Damn it, what's going on, tell me clearly!" The panic can be felt just by the sound, and the correspondent in the base also became anxious and asked loudly.
"Volcano, the volcano erupted, the nearby volcano erupted!"
What? !
The base correspondent's head buzzed, and he froze in place, with his mouth wide open, unable to make a sound at all.
Of course they know about that volcano, it’s only about 30 kilometers away, and it hasn’t erupted for more than 600 years. Otherwise, the naval base would not have chosen to be here, but how can people not be shocked when they suddenly hear the news of the volcano’s eruption.
"What's going on, **** it!" The major of the communication department next to him felt bad when he saw the communication officer's voice stopped abruptly. He didn't care so much, he went up and pulled him away, grabbed the headset from the top of his head and put it on on the head.
"I'm McCollen, what's going on!" Major McCollen asked in a deep voice.
"The volcano next to it..."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was an interfering noise in the communication.
At the same time, everyone in the base felt the shaking.
McLenne lost his footing and threw himself on the machine, and the people around him immediately panicked.
It's an earthquake! ?
The small-scale earthquake caused by the volcanic eruption was transmitted, and everyone could clearly feel the shock.
It took more than a dozen seconds for the communication to resume. The helicopter pilot over there finally got over the panic period just now, and said loudly at the first moment when the communication was connected: "The volcano next to it erupted."
"Damn it, **** it, **** it...I order you to observe closely and inform the situation at any time." The major also panicked, he would not care about the specific situation, the most important thing now is to notify the commander of the base and organize an evacuation as soon as possible!
The volcano is too close to here, it will definitely affect the base.
Well, even if he doesn't understand how harmful a volcanic eruption is, it's just right to ensure safety!
Even if it's just in case.
He grabbed another communicator next to him and dialed directly to the base commander.
"General Daniel, it's an emergency."
Daniel was not moved by the earthquake just now. This is a US military base with the highest level of earthquake resistance, and because of military reasons, the buildings are generally low, so they are not afraid of any earthquakes at all.
So, he didn't panic at this moment, and when he picked up the communication, he said calmly, "Major, what's the matter, don't worry, we are soldiers, we have to calm down when we encounter problems."
"But, well, it's my problem." The major opened his mouth, and he could only say that the general is the general, but he is different from himself, so he decided to explain the matter clearly from beginning to end.
Taking a deep breath, Major McLenne said, "That's right. Just now, we detected a violent explosion in the north-west direction. I feel that the radar monitoring shows that the explosion power is not less than 5 tons of TNT equivalent. Therefore, we sent a reconnaissance Check out the situation."
"What's the result?" General Daniel asked in a deep voice, his voice not too fast or too slow.
"The pilot reported just now that the Pinatubo volcano in the north erupted, and that's how the earthquake was felt just now."
Daniel was stunned, blinked, and was silent for three seconds. Mount Pinatubo, whose name is very familiar, seems to be not far away. There is a lake formed after the eruption of the volcano on it. The scenery is very beautiful. What did he just say? ?
What happened?
"What did you say exploded?" Daniel frowned, sat up from his seat and asked again.
"Mt. Pinatubo erupted."
"Volcano? Erupted?" Daniel's voice suddenly increased, and his voice became sharp, like a woman whose **** was pinched, "Volcano, erupted!?"
"Yes, General Daniel." Major McLennan reconfirmed, but, why did the voice sound so calm...
…
"Fack, **** it, why didn't you say the volcano erupted sooner!" Daniel almost jumped up, the veins on his neck were exposed, and he roared loudly, "Still **** talking here, sounding the air raid siren, no, no, Fire alarm, fire alarm!"
"Hurry up and get ready to retreat!"
Major McLennan was stunned when he heard the roar coming from the microphone. He said, Mrs. Mei, you must calm down when encountering anything!
This is... so restless!
There was a crackling sound in Major McLenne's heart, but it was quickly interrupted by the roar in the headset, and he hurried to pull the fire alarm.
It can't be an air raid siren. The air raid is to hide in the room or underground. If the magma comes, my good guy, it's easy to bury it.
The alarm sounded, and the whole base was in chaos. Daniel hurriedly led people out of the room, and headed towards the communication base immediately. He wanted to know first-hand information about the volcanic eruption.
How do you know what to do if you don't know the situation?
Sitting on the commuter car in the base, Daniel told the secretary to contact the country immediately and contact experts. He wants to listen to expert opinions!
At this time, we cannot deal with the slightest mistake. There are more than 15,000 Americans alone in the base, including soldiers, family members, and various personnel who provide supporting services for the base!
This does not include the larger number of local Filipinos. If you count the locals, the population around the military base is no less than 80,000!
The Subic military base is divided into a naval base and an air base. The two bases charge the United States $900 million a year and provide 40,000 jobs. They are the second largest employer in the Philippines.
These jobs account for 5.16% of the Philippine GDP!
The loss of the Subic military base in the Philippines will almost certainly trigger an economic crisis.
Therefore, regardless of whether it is a student trip or an issue of public security, the Philippine government will not take it seriously at all, and the economy is the most important thing.
Must be open!
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
Daniel may not care whether the Filipinos die or how many die, but he cannot but care whether the Americans die or not.
Once the casualties are too large, it will be a big trouble for him.
This has nothing to do with whether the volcanic eruption was an accident or a natural disaster. You are in this position and enjoy the rights, and if something happens, you must bear the responsibility.
Therefore, Daniel is really in a hurry now, and urgently needs domestic help and expert guidance.
Before the car came to a complete stop, Daniel jumped off in a hurry, ran into the communication base, and the voice came before he arrived, "What's the matter, what's the situation now?"
Seeing that the commander was coming, McCllen immediately switched the communication to broadcast mode and ordered the other side to report again.
"Report, there are not many magmas. What I see here is volcanic ash. A large amount of volcanic ash rises into the sky like a mushroom cloud when it erupts. It is still erupting high into the sky. I can't see the specifics here. how high."
"Report your current altitude." Daniel asked in a deep voice.
"Hovering at an altitude of 3000 meters, 4000 meters away from the crater."
"Is the ash above your height? Is it spreading outward?"
"Exceeding my height, it is spreading outward rapidly. I don't know the exact speed here, but we retreated step by step from 1 kilometer away, and it feels very fast."
Hearing this report, Daniel's face sank.
It's **** midnight in the United States right now, and I don't know when I want to contact an expert.
damn it!
"Do you think it will affect the base?"
When the helicopter pilot was asked this question, he immediately got stuck. Damn, should I answer this question?
I'm just a soldier!
"Report to the commander, I don't know!" The soldier reported loudly.
"I'll let you
Talk about the feeling, do you understand the feeling! No one in the base has **** studied the **** volcano, now it can only rely on subjective judgment, soldier, say your judgment, this is an order! "Daniel yelled angrily, how can he care about his image at this moment.
Even if the base is bombed by the enemy, he will not be in such a hurry, because he knows how to deal with it, but the volcano erupts...
"Report the season, I, I think so, they are getting closer and closer, we are retreating quickly!" The soldier on the other side had to grit his teeth.
Daniel took a deep breath, and before he could say anything, the secretary hurried over and said, "Mr. Commander, you are now in the base. If your line of sight is not blocked, you can see that huge column of volcanic ash."
'call! , Daniel let out a long breath, stomped his feet cruelly and ordered: "Order everyone to organize the evacuation immediately."
As he spoke, Daniel paused for a moment, and added again: "Mobilize all our vehicles, give priority to the evacuation of non-military personnel, and give priority to evacuation of women and children!"
"Yessir!" The secretary stood at attention and saluted, then turned and ran outside.
"Order, all ships in the port, no matter who they belong to, are all requisitioned and ready to evacuate. The destination is... the mud." Daniel hesitated, he didn't know where the volcanic ash would drift, but he immediately What I think of is the umbrella of cooperation with the Wujiao Building, and I think of the mud.
In fact, there is another base here in Xingcheng, but it is too far away, and the sailing time is too long.
He knew that Xiao En's umbrella had a garrison of 1,000 people in Luni, and they were taking shelter there temporarily. He believed that the umbrella would not refuse business from the Wujiao Building.
"Sir, what about the Air Force?" Someone asked eagerly.
Daniel shook his head. He didn't know either. The plane didn't take off immediately after it took off. According to the procedure, it was inspected and refueled. God knows if there is enough time.
Besides, whether or not the volcanic ash will affect these planes is unknown.
Taking off in a hurry is not necessarily a good choice. Maybe it is better to wait for the volcanic eruption to resume repairs?
He has to wait for the order from the foot-covering building, and the first priority is to evacuate people.
Of course, the more important point is that because of this unexpected situation, the plane or other military facilities are scrapped, and he will not face any criticism.
As long as people are okay!
Fortunately, the response from the Wujiao Building was a bit slow, but the Pacific Command of the US military in Hawaii responded faster. After all, it is the competent unit in charge of all US military bases in Asia.
The 14th Commander-in-Chief, Huntington Hardisty, was eating breakfast. He was shocked by the news and spewed out a mouthful of milk. After tidying up, he contacted the Subic military base immediately to inquire about the situation.
After hearing the news, he praised Daniel's decisiveness, and on this basis, he ordered again that those who can be transported by boat should go by boat, and those who can't should go by car to Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Then the planes have to be rescued. According to logistics experts, once the planes are covered by volcanic ash, they are basically scrapped, and they can run as soon as they can.
The Pacific Command will call the Philippine government urgently to borrow their airport, whether it is a military airport or a civilian airport.
In the end, Huntington Hardesty ordered that if there is spare capacity, we should also consider helping the Filipinos, at least leave some supplies, vehicles, etc., to show the serious and responsible image of the Americans.
In just half an hour, the settled volcanic ash has covered the entire Zambilar Mountain. The original green is not visible at all, and all the eyes are gray volcanic ash.
Not only that, but the volcanic ash is still spreading towards the south.
Compared with the chaotic headquarters, the soldiers outside and the nearby residents looked quite 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, while some people chose to drive along the road towards Manila by themselves.
However, there are too many birds and all kinds of forests, and some people are excited to load their daily necessities into the car
Don't head for Mount Pinatubo.
They're going to be singing, eating fire...canned food, and seeing what a volcanic eruption really looks like!
As for the volcanic ash...
"Hey buddy, don't you think it's like surfing?"
A young Caucasian man waved his arms vigorously, his face flushed and shouted loudly: "There is overwhelming volcanic ash rolling in behind us. We drove a vehicle and fled crazily in front of the volcanic ash!"
"Imagine this picture, man, **** is coming, there is an army of **** behind us, we are the protagonists in the movie, and we have to send back with first-hand news, think, think, does this look like a picture in the movie!"
"Oh, God!"
"I can't **** take it anymore, I'm going over now, I think I should ride a motorcycle, yes, Harley, it's like Ghost Rider in Marvel!"
As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately aroused cheers from a group of people around.
So it makes sense that there are fewer Americans!
Of course, many people headed towards Mount Pinatubo not just looking for excitement, and some people were journalists, hoping to take first-hand pictures. Delivered to hand!
There are also some people who are simply curious and want to see the majesty and magnificence of nature. This kind of thing is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why not cherish it.
In everyone's opinion, as long as it is not submerged by magma, if it is pure volcanic ash, it will not have much impact, and it will not kill people.
Anyway, there's pretty much everything you're doing right now.
very messy.
At the moment, at the foot of Zambilar Mountain, billows of smoke and dust rolled towards the town below, as if the gate of **** had opened, and the end of the world was coming!
For the Filipinos living here, they don't know what **** thrills, **** natural wonders, **** Pulitzer Prizes.
All they see is disaster.
…
On the other side, it finally arrived at the preset landing site before Zhi 5 ran out of fuel.
This is a cargo ship that has been moored here a long time ago. The only thing that makes people frown is that the cargo ship is shaking a little bit, much more than expected!
The transmission speed of the earthquake far exceeds the speed of the plane, and the waves on the sea are surging, with a height of more than two meters. In this case, it is almost impossible for the Z-5 to land safely.
Faced with this situation, Neil gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, airborne!
As for the helicopter...
Fuck it, don't want it anymore, I don't have much money, so I sink down.
After making a decision, Neil and his bodyguard landed on the ship first through the downhill rope, and the pilot pulled the plane to an altitude of 1,000 meters, set the autopilot, turned around and jumped off.
The swell was huge, but fortunately, there was enough space, and he was finally pulled onto the boat.
After Neil ordered the boat to sail, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and only then were they in the mood to look at their masterpieces.
"What the **** did we do?" Neil stared blankly at the rising sky. Even if it was more than 100 kilometers away, he could still see the smoke column, and he clicked his tongue.
"No accident, we should have done it!" said the bodyguard beside him while shaking his head.
"Fack, the volcano is still erupting. I checked it before and said it hasn't erupted for more than 600 years!" Neil looked at the sky, his expression gradually became excited, and he waved his fist fiercely at the sky.
"Did you see, did you see, we did it, we detonated a volcano!" Neil turned his head and grabbed the shoulders of the people around him and shook vigorously, his face flushed, as if he had an orgasm.
How many people in the world have detonated a volcano?
Neil thinks it must be less than the President of the United States!
Is this a unique achievement?
At least he thinks so. Although he can't make it public, he is really exciting!
Especially the sound of explosions coming from behind, their helicopters are flying outwards like a race against time
It was even more exciting than going to the battlefield.
Everyone vented their anger for a while before slowly calming down.
Looking at the scene over there, Neil murmured again in his heart, why did Sean ask him to detonate that volcano?
…
"Located in the western part of the Philippines, 30 kilometers north of the Subic military base, Mount Pinatubo, which has been silent for more than 600 years, suddenly erupted yesterday. Let's take a look at the reports sent back by our frontline reporters."
This is an edited route. First, the volcanic eruption, billowing thick smoke straight into the sky, and then the aerial footage, with the volcanic ash rising all the way up. I don’t know how high it went, but it far exceeded the maximum flying height of the shooting helicopter.
Looking down, you can't see mountains, let alone volcanoes, only billowing smoke and dust covering all places that can be seen by the naked eye.
As soon as the screen turned, billowing volcanic ash rushed in like a storm, chasing the vehicles running wildly on the road.
Just looking at this shot, I don't know if I thought it was a scene that only appeared in movies.
Then there is the long convoy on the highway leading to Manila. Some people in the car will lower their windows and greet the camera with a smile.
The scene of the hasty evacuation inside the military base.
Sean learned about the eruption of Mount Pinatubo on TV. There is not much first-hand information, but the TV station has dispatched people to Manila urgently to enter the disaster area to take first-hand information.
He only explained this matter to Neil, and then Neil took care of it, even the people around him didn't know.
Sean is not afraid of being found out about planning to detonate the volcano artificially.
The volcano erupted, Sean didn't know if it was the energy level of hundreds or thousands of nuclear bombs erupting, anyway, he didn't think those depth charges and things on the water surface could survive in the magma!
No matter how you investigate afterwards, it is a natural disaster!
Besides, a volcano cannot be detonated by simply throwing a bomb.
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 to lease the military base. It was not rebuilt until he was beaten to death in his previous life. .
Yes, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Unlike what the general public thinks, the Philippines will not lease the lease to the United States after the end, but the United States will withdraw the lease.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is because many things happened this year.
The Gulf War, the withdrawal of military bases, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union all came together, so Sean has a deep memory.
And his purpose is to rush to withdraw the military base!
Once next year, the disintegration of the Soviet Union enters the countdown and cannot be undone, then the US government is likely to refuse to continue to open military bases in Southeast Asia as it did in its previous life, so how can Sean have any reason to encourage the military to agree to his plan to separate Malays? .
For the sake of the overall situation, in order to save the people of Sarawak, the Filipinos can only be sacrificed.
Sean mourned for them for a full three seconds, and the people of Sarawak will remember... er, although they won't remember you, but don't worry, I, Sean,
won't remember!
