America's Big Hero

"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, don't worry if there is anything wrong, we are soldiers, so we must deal with it calmly."
"But, well, it's my problem." The major opened his mouth, and he could only say that the general is the general, but 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 Go over there to see what's going on."
"What's the result?" General Daniel asked in a deep voice, his voice not hurried or 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 ass was pinched, "Volcano, erupted!!?"
"Yes, General Daniel." Major McLennan reconfirmed, but the voice didn't sound calm...
"Fack, damn 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 fucking talking here, sounding the air raid siren, no, no , pull the fire alarm, fire alarm!!"
"Hurry up and prepare to retreat!!"
Major McLennan was stunned when he heard the roar from the microphone. He said that American soldiers should 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 15000 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 8!
The Subic military base is divided into a naval base and an air base. The two bases charge the United States $9 million a year and provide [-] jobs. They are the second largest employer in the Philippines.
These jobs account for 5.16% of the Philippines' gross domestic product!
Losing the Subic military base, 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! !
Keke, get back to business.
Daniel may not care whether or how many Filipinos die, but he cannot help caring whether or not American soldiers die and how many die.
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 the person 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."
"Has the ash exceeded your height? Has it spread 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 fucking 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 your feelings, do you understand the feelings! No one in the base has studied the damn volcano. Now we can only rely on subjective judgments. Soldier, tell your judgment, this is an order!" Daniel said angrily Hey, how could he care about his image right now.
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...
"Reporting the season, I, I think so, they are getting closer and closer, and 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."
After speaking, Daniel paused for a moment, and added again: "Send out all our vehicles, give priority to the evacuation of non-military personnel, and give priority to evacuation of women and children!"
"Yes sir!" 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 mud." Daniel hesitated, he didn't know where the volcanic ash would drift, but he first What Shi Shi thought about was the umbrella of cooperation with the Wujiao Building, and thought of Mu Ni.
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 1000 people in Luni, and they were taking shelter there temporarily, and 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 may not be a good choice. Maybe it is better to wait for the eruption to pass and then start repairs again?
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, and at least leave some supplies, vehicles, etc., to show the serious and responsible image of American soldiers.
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 prepare to run. Some of them were willing to listen to the military’s arrangement and leave on board, while some 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 excitedly loading their daily necessities into the car, and they are not going to head towards Mount Pinatubo.
They're going to be singing, eating fire...canned food, and seeing what an 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, and we are driving a vehicle to flee crazily in front of the volcanic ash!"
"Imagine this picture, buddy, hell is coming, and the army of hell is behind us. We are the protagonists in the movie, and we have to send back with first-hand news. Think about it, think about it, does this look like a picture in the movie!"
"Oh, my god!"
"I can't fucking bear it anymore, I'm going over now, I think I should ride a motorcycle, yes, Harley, just 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 hell had opened, and the end of the world was coming!
For the Filipinos living here, they don't know what bullshit thrills, shit natural wonders, shit 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. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for 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 1000 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.
"We the fuck did this?" Neil stared blankly at the sky where the sky rose to an unknown height. Even if it was more than 100 kilometers away, he could still see the smoke column, and he clicked his tongue endlessly.
"No accident, we should have done it!" The bodyguard beside him said while shaking his head.
"Fack, the volcano really fucking erupted. I checked 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 when the sound of explosions kept coming from behind and their helicopters were flying outwards like a race against time, it was 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 west 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 report sent by our frontline reporters."
This is an edited route. First, the volcanic eruption, billowing smoke straight into the sky, and then the aerial footage, the volcanic ash has been rising, I don’t know how high it rushed, 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.
