Chapter 723 Closing (1)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Above the city, the missile's light was still flickering from time to time.

The sound of explosions echoed in every corner of the city time and time again. Countless private cars were blown to pieces on the streets. The bodies of the citizens were almost all over the streets. Many tall buildings collapsed in the explosion and bombardment. More buildings were crushed by the collapsed buildings.

Outside the window, the rain was still heavy.

Rain crackled down from the sky, landing in this pitch-black capital city, carrying a strong sense of desolation and despair.

It was a mess.

It was like the end of the world.

The frequency of aerial missile bombardment had gradually decreased. From the initial dozen missiles to more than a dozen missiles, and then to the occasional missile launch and explosion, it was obvious that the number of missiles in the enemy's hands was decreasing significantly.

However, the current city had already become like this. Even if the enemy had fired all of their missiles, they would still be able to earn a lot of money.

Inside the Pentagon, in the conference room on the fifth floor.

Joseph looked blankly at the miserable scene outside. After a long time, he sighed deeply and turned around, "Why aren't you leaving?"

In the meeting room, apart from him, there were only two generals left.

A lieutenant general, a major general.

Apart from that, nearly twenty generals inside the Pentagon followed Dabinett to retreat by helicopter.

If the helicopter had moved at full speed, they would have even left the federal city area by now.

"I can't leave."

"I don't want to leave."

The two replies sounded almost at the same time. The content sounded similar, but there was a very subtle difference.

Joseph was stunned for a moment before he could see who the two generals were.

"So it's General Godfrey and General Cruise."

Joseph smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No matter what, I welcome your stay. Perhaps we will all die, but I must say that our sacrifice to protect the capital of the United States is meaningful in the long run."

"Yes, I believe that."

Lieutenant General Gao Derui expressionlessly said, Lieutenant General's rank is not at the top of the Pentagon, but the actual position can be ranked in the top three, For most of his life in the army, led several major U.S. Legions, In several wars, Excellent merit, A few years ago, He was a famous general of the US Marine System. However, as he grew older, he was transferred to the Pentagon as a civilian when he was about to retire. However, in terms of power, he could be said to be in control of half of the Pentagon's personnel and half of its resources. He was now at the peak of his military career.

Lieutenant General Gao Derui has fought countless battles, is one of the backbone of military hawks, Now the hawks are all for Marshal Earlaen, In general, or support for President Yurisses, From his point of view, In terms of his status, There was no room to choose a new camp, And he didn't want to, The hawks call themselves a lineage, His relationship with the major powers was not harmonious, It wasn't that bad. It was only because Dabinett wanted to reach out to the hawks that the two sides had a few bad conflicts. No matter what, it was impossible for Gao Derui to leave with Dabinett. He would rather die here than be treated as a traitor by the hawks and sacrificed as a pawn by Dabinett in the future.

Another Major General Cruise's expression was somewhat gloomy. He stood there without saying a word with an undisguised bitter smile.

Lieutenant General Godfrey doesn't want to leave.

Major General Cruise, on the other hand, could not leave.

Because inside the Pentagon, he was in charge of electronic information security.

It was understandable for the Divine Continent Empire to launch electronic warfare when the United States was caught off guard, blocking all signals from several cities in the United States. However, if he, the general in charge of electronics, were to escape while his subordinates were still desperately unblocking the signals, it would not be understandable.

Malfeasance.

Deserter.

Greed fears death.

Major General Cruise could not afford such a crime, so he had to stay. Even if Vice President Joseph and Lieutenant General Godfrey retreated, he had to stay and work with his subordinates to remove the signal blockade as soon as possible.

"Boom!"

Another missile rumble suddenly sounded.

The howling missile dragged its tail flame and directly hit the stairs of the Pentagon, which was less than 100 meters away from Joseph. The intense explosion caused the stairs of the building to collapse in an instant. Even though they were 100 meters apart, the intense vibration almost sent Joseph and the others flying.

"These damn lunatics!"

Joseph cursed loudly and shouted angrily, "Major General Cruise, go to the third floor and put some pressure on your subordinates. If this continues, if the enemy is firing two missiles, our current position will be completely destroyed by the enemy!"

"I understand, Mr. President. Lieutenant General, please follow me."

A cold sweating Major General Cruise said in a trembling voice. His face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror, and his tone was trembling unconcealably.

Unlike Lieutenant General Godfrey, Major General Cruise had always been a civilian since he joined the army, and his field of work was also electronic information security. Such a person was professional enough, but he lacked a trace of the iron blood of a soldier.

He was afraid of death.

Especially when a large number of missiles exploded near him, the fear of death almost tortured him to the point that he completely collapsed.

The three of them rushed downstairs frantically. They had just rushed to the third floor, but before they could reach the entrance of the electronic information center, a loud cheer had already rang out through the door in the corridor.

The door of the electronic information center was pulled open from the inside amidst the chaotic footsteps.

Colonel Locke, who was codenamed Demon, and Colonel Gardermont, director of the Electronic Information Center, rushed out excitedly.

They're fast.

Joseph's speed wasn't slow either.

That was why the five of them almost collided in an instant.

"Did you succeed? Tell me, Gardemon, did you succeed?"

Joseph didn't care about anything else. He looked at the smiles on their faces and asked excitedly.

As he spoke, he reached for his phone, wanting to see if the signal had fully recovered.

"Yes, we succeeded."

Colonel Gardermont took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. "However, the signal shield hasn't been lifted yet. However, we have already reactivated the war firewall. The firewall has already begun to automatically eliminate the intrusion virus. In 20 minutes, at most 20 minutes, all the signals in Federation City and the surrounding cities will be completely restored."

The war firewall could be said to be the ultimate system of electronic warfare for US national defense. If the Divine Continent Empire was able to succeed, it would be able to take advantage of the fact that the United States was unprepared to paralyze the war firewall. As long as the system of the war firewall could be reactivated, it would be able to neutralize all the attacks of the Divine Continent Empire in a short period of time.

At that time, it was time for them to retaliate.

"Good job!"

Joseph's face turned red with excitement. He clenched his fists and said, "Get everyone out. Let's go underground to avoid the explosion. What we need to do next is wait. Twenty minutes later, the end of the enemy will come!"

"Understood."

Colonel Gardermont saluted and turned to give the order.

Joseph took a deep breath and turned to go downstairs.

Underneath the Pentagon, There was also a hidden underground base, Yes, it was an underground base, not a refuge. The underground base was simply unable to withstand a huge explosion. Its structure was so sturdy that it could only be considered an underground garage. Under such an environment, the safety of such an underground base was naturally impossible to guarantee. But now, it seemed that it had become the safest choice for Joseph and the others.

After all, no matter how weak the underground base was, it was much better than letting the enemy bomb it.

Joseph walked quickly. His footsteps were fast. Outside the building, the sound of an explosion sounded again.

In a hurry, the vice president looked out of the window.

The rain outside the window was still heavy.

In the distance and right now, the entire city seemed to be in ruins.

Joseph sighed softly and his eyes became firm.

Although the losses were heavy, victory would ultimately belong to the United States.

Whoosh!

In the corner of his eyes, a dazzling light suddenly lit up.

The dot of light quickly approached.

In the blink of an eye, it had grown countless times larger.

Joseph, who had already rushed to the first floor, subconsciously turned his head to look at the dots of light in the air, feeling a little confused.

"Be careful!"

Lieutenant General Godfrey, who had been following behind Joseph the entire time, had a drastic change in expression. With a loud roar, he pounced on Joseph and rolled towards the inner wall of the hall on the first floor with all his might.

The dot of light instantly grew larger.

Three hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters.

A streamlined fighter jet flashed with silver light, and its entire body appeared in Joseph's line of sight.

The signal lights of the fighter jet flashed wildly, and the fuselage was still approaching, as if it was going to use an aircraft building.

What a familiar sight...

However, the scene in front of him was much more spectacular than the terrorist attack that shocked the world many years ago.

Forty meters.

Thirty meters.

Twenty meters!

The approaching fighter jets suddenly burst forth, and two missiles whistled towards the first floor hall of the Pentagon. At the same time, the fighter jets that were about to collide with the Pentagon suddenly rose to their limits!

The roar of the fighter engines entered his ears.

The two missiles rushed straight into the hall on the first floor, and the fighter jets below almost followed the stairs of the Pentagon and began to charge straight up.

Full speed!

In an instant, the fighter jet that was about to crash into the building had already disappeared into the horizon.

At the same time, hundreds of main battle tanks belonging to the Barrier Armored Legion rumbled into the Federation's urban areas.

Main battle tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets appeared one by one.

Destroy.

Massacre.

The sounds of cannonballs, missiles, machine guns, and machine guns echoed wildly in the city. The few remaining citizens collapsed one by one in the cannon fire, and large areas of buildings collapsed in the bombardment.

After the missile bombing, the ground and air forces moved at the same time, and the capital city of the United States quickly went to its final extinction.
