Chapter 159, The Last Gunshot

The suburbs of Washington, the federal capital, on the west bank of the Potomac River, Arlington National Cemetery

Founded during the Civil War, the Arlington National Cemetery, once a well-organized, quiet and solemn place for patriotism and education, is now bustling with people, smoke from kitchens, and endless noises.Between the stone steles and crosses in the cemetery, countless temporary shacks and tents are densely packed, like mushrooms after the rain, spontaneously forming a huge refugee camp.

These refugees who had nothing had used waste newspapers and all kinds of rubbish to build countless shabby shacks in the cemetery, forming countless maze-like intertwined and complicated alleys.Since there is no drainage system and no one to dispose of garbage and excrement, there is always a pungent and unpleasant stench here.However, although these American refugees are all short of food and clothing, dirty and smelly, like the most sloppy beggars, they have almost nothing.But even at this time, these down-and-out Americans still generally have one of the most precious possessions, and that is guns!

——Long before the birth of the United States, this land has a tradition of everyone holding a gun. In the eyes of the "rough and barbaric" American rednecks, only with a gun in their hand can there be bread, land, freedom, etc. A series of goodies.And once they have no guns in their hands, they will become lambs to be slaughtered...

Moreover, next to the Arlington National Cemetery is the Pentagon that was bombed into ruins, and there is also an abandoned arsenal inside.Even those who did not have guns, as long as they rummage through the site of the highest military institution in the United States, they can easily find some military supplies such as steel helmets, uniforms, body armor, military boots, and 1911 pistols, Light weapons such as Toms submachine guns, Garand rifles, and even rocket launchers and mortars have been discovered!As a result, these American refugees gathered at the Arlington National Cemetery are even more well-equipped than the French insurgents who organized the Paris Commune back then.Many of them even changed into military uniforms, and at first glance they thought they were regular soldiers.

However, these small arms are useless to Americans who are suffering from nuclear explosions-the murderous enemy who is destroying the United States of America is not with them at this time, and is not within range of any guns. But far across the ocean.Even the largest caliber heavy anti-aircraft guns can't hit the Soviet jet ultra-long-range strategic bombers at an altitude of 9000 meters, let alone a few rifles.

Therefore, even though they have obtained so many weapons and ammunition, these unorganized, undisciplined and aimless wandering refugees can only use the guns and ammunition in their hands to fight each other, just for a few cans or a piece of bread.Or be a little more active, hunting wild rabbits in the wilderness with a gun to satisfy your hunger.Then just eat and eat like this, day after day in a daze, until death comes...

But now, finally, someone stood up in front of these confused people and loudly reminded these armed refugees: Although the pistols and rifles in their arms could not hit the Soviet jets in the sky, they could knock down the White House on the other side of the river The bastard president in the movie who dragged everyone to Huangquan Road!Force this bastard president to kneel to the Soviets and surrender unconditionally, thus ending this nuclear disaster like purgatory!

"...Gentlemen! Ladies! You come from all over the world, and you are very aware of what terrible things are happening on the land of our motherland! Right now, the entire United States, every state, and every county have been completely devastated like never before. Shrouded! From now on, in this war, our only and final goal is to survive! No matter how humiliating the price is, we will not hesitate...

Yes!I say without any concealment that I am advocating surrender. Ladies and gentlemen, you can accuse me of cowardice and cowardice, accuse me of betraying my motherland and faith, but please listen to me. It is meaningless to the dead!Only by surviving can there be hope!All the humiliation and trauma will pass away with the wind!As long as you can survive, tomorrow is another day! "

An old man in an old military uniform stood on a dilapidated and charred stone platform in Arlington National Cemetery, and he spoke in a loud and sincere tone. The gang of sloppy refugees nodded their heads in agreement.

"...But the premise of all this is to survive! However, in order to avoid admitting defeat and avoid their own guilt, a small number of shameless politicians and selfish dignitaries in the District of Columbia would rather turn the country into scorched earth, their homes into ruins, and their people into corpses , nor willing to go to the gallows!

In the face of irreversible failure, for the dignity and arrogance of their politicians and dignitaries, and for the sake of making the people of the whole country die together with their sinners, they even desperately advocated the glory of martyrdom!I want to drag tens of thousands of American citizens to hell with them! "

The old man in military uniform waved his fists and shouted, "...this cruel and selfish inhumane act, how is it different from the devil in hell?"

So, after a moment of silence, the many war refugees listening to the speech below began to erupt in various noises.

"...Bastard, we are also human beings, living and thinking human beings! Not some lord's funeral objects!"

"...Damn, this group of irresponsible, despicable politicians! How could they do this?"

"...losing the war, refusing to plead guilty and receive punishment, and dragging everyone to die together... Is such a person worthy of being president?"

"...The disaster you caused yourself should be borne by yourself! Sending away a loved one but letting us die with him, what does that mean?"

"... Who vowed to push the country to participate in the war and spread the glory of the United States to the whole world? Now that the war is like this, the Americans are almost dead, and those officials are still unwilling to commit suicide! Instead! And dragging everyone to hell together! How shameless!"

"...This country is not only theirs, but also ours. Why should they take the whole country as a funeral object?"

"...Hey, what can we do? The black-hearted bigwigs on Wall Street don't think that this country has our share..."

"...Wall Street? Hehe! Where is Wall Street today? Only the radiation ruins on Manhattan Island!"

After finally waiting for the crowd to calm down again from the clamor, the old man in military uniform on the stone platform scanned the crowd with solemn eyes, remained silent for a while, and then said with an emphatic tone: "...Of course, we can't forget the hatred, either. We must not forget who destroyed our prosperous cities and beautiful homes, and who killed our brothers, sisters, parents and children... However, hatred should be the driving force for our progress and development, not a self-destructive bomb! We We can't let this kind of hatred get lost in our minds, like President MacArthur, who is desperate and doesn't care about the disparity between the enemy and us, and only knows how to fight to the end... No, this is not a fight at all, but forcing everyone to wait for death together! Because we are now in a row The Soviet bombers can’t even shoot down! Today we are as powerless in the face of the Bolshevik nuclear weapons as the Indians back then!
As a great nation, of course we must always keep these hatreds in mind, but we cannot retaliate immediately regardless of everything, but wait patiently for the opportunity!As long as the descendants of our nation are preserved, there will always be a day of revenge!On the contrary, if we all die..."

The old man in military uniform made a helpless gesture, "...Then everything in the United States will be over, and there will be no future to speak of."

Everyone nodded in agreement with the above point of view.So the old man in military uniform changed the subject, "...However, those gentlemen on Capitol Hill and the federal government don't think so! They sent their relatives and descendants overseas, and most of them ran away together, leaving only A few of the most stubborn guys are still here, wanting to watch the United States of America go to complete death and destruction - what they can't keep, they would rather destroy than give it to others! However, we still live in this Can the poor on the land agree to such absurd things?"

"...No!!!" "...Of course not!!!" "...Never!!!" "...Are only their relatives and descendants human? The life of our poor is also life!!!" Everyone Immediately, all kinds of shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami erupted, shaking the grass leaves in the cemetery as if they were trembling.

"...Yes, the life of the poor is also life! Now we have lost too many things. Our cities, our farms, and our mines have all been destroyed by the Soviet atomic bombs! Our ancestors used the rifles in their hands The struggle with the unyielding has won us such a beautiful and rich country. It is a pity that we failed to protect it, failed the hard work of our ancestors, and failed everyone who sacrificed for this land.”

The old man in military uniform preached affectionately to everyone, "...so, we can no longer live up to this! Otherwise, we will die of shame! If we don't save ourselves now, don't stand up, but continue to live in such a muddle Goofing around, watching this crazy federal government continue to lead the country and its people to death, watching more nuclear bombs detonate on the soil of our motherland, then we will lose the last group of compatriots, the last piece of foothold and the last hope of revival in the future! Faced with the current desperate situation, what we have to do is not to discuss and shout slogans, but to take up arms immediately and prepare to fight! Now we can only enter the White House. End this disaster!"

He waved his hands and shouted in a voice almost roaring with excitement, "...Gentlemen and ladies, show your courage, now is the time for us to fight for survival. For our survival, for our children and grandchildren Fight for the future of future generations!"

As a result, there was a burst of echoes below, and countless people brandished long guns and short guns, shouting like thunder:

"...Yes! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"...the tyrant in the White House must be overthrown for our lives and the lives of our families!"

"...Let those selfish politicians die! We have had enough! We can only live if they die!"

"...Go to hell with the dignity and arrogance of those politicians and dignitaries! The lives of our poor people are our lives!"

"...Cross the Potomac River, into the White House, and make that arrogant bastard who thinks nothing of human life kneel before us!"

……

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be almost brewing, General Dwight David Eisenhower, an old man in military uniform standing on the charred black stone platform, nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.Immediately, a group of soldiers came to directly recruit volunteers from among these armed refugees, and then distributed the red flags and sleeves of the uprising to the crowd, and at the same time divided them into several teams for coordination and command

Next, another lieutenant with a red sleeve wrapped around his arm approached and asked General Eisenhower the specific time of action.

"...Considering that these mobs probably can't fight night battles in the dark, let's set the action time at six o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Looking across the broad Potomac River at the federal capital bathed in a bloody sunset, General Eisenhower was silent for a moment, and finally said decisively, and then let out a long sigh, "...Actually, I didn't want to do this at first, but... ...There is really no other choice!"

PS: The Brexit memorandum stated that in order to formulate the Brexit policy bill, a new department needs to be established and 560 civil servants be recruited... Now I understand how the UK is for the [-] army that is about to become a pure infantry, and there are only [-] A naval frigate and destroyer that are almost useless even with missiles cost [-] billion US dollars a year. I wonder how many times the number of civil servants in the British Ministry of Defense has expanded to the total strength of the entire army?
