American TV series
Chapter 497: Subic Naval Base Ends
"Oh, god!"
The helicopter pilot's exclamation sounded over the communicator at the Subic Naval Base.
"Run, run, volcano, volcano!"
"Damn it, what's going on? Tell me clearly!" You can feel the panic just by listening to the voice. The communicators in the base also became anxious and asked loudly.
"The volcano, the volcano erupted, the volcano next to it erupted!"
What?!
The base correspondent's head buzzed, and he froze on the spot, his mouth wide open, unable to make any sound at all.
Of course they knew about that volcano. It was only about 30 kilometers away and had not erupted for more than 600 years. Otherwise, the naval base would not have chosen to be here. But now, how could people not be shocked when they suddenly heard the news of the volcano erupting?
"What's going on? Damn it!" The major in the communications department next to him saw that the correspondent's voice had stopped suddenly. He also felt something bad. He didn't care so much. He went up and pulled the person away, grabbed the headset from his head and put it on his head.
On the head.
"I'm McClun, what's going on?" Major McClun asked in a deep voice.
"The volcano next to it..."
Before I could finish a sentence, there was a buzzing noise in the communication.
At the same time, everyone in the base felt shaking.
McClun lost his footing and threw himself on the machine, and the people around him immediately started to panic.
Is this an earthquake!?
The small-scale earthquake caused by the volcanic eruption was transmitted, and everyone could clearly feel the earthquake.
It took more than ten seconds for the communication to be restored. The helicopter pilot over there finally got over the panic period and shouted loudly as soon as the communication was connected: "The nearby volcano has erupted."
"Damn, damn, damn... I order you to observe closely and inform you of the situation at any time." The major also panicked. He didn't care to ask about the specific situation at this moment. The most important thing now is to inform the base commander and organize an evacuation quickly!
The volcano is too close to here, and it will definitely affect the base.
Well, even if he doesn't understand how harmful a volcanic eruption is, he just needs to ensure safety!
Even if it's just in case.
He grabbed another communicator nearby and dialed the base commander directly.
"General Daniel, emergency."
Daniel was not moved by the earthquake he just felt. This is a US military base with the highest earthquake resistance level, and because of military reasons, the buildings are generally low, so there is no need to worry about earthquakes at all.
Therefore, he did not panic at this moment. When he picked up the communication, he said calmly, "Major, if something happens, don't worry. We are soldiers and we should deal with things calmly."
"But, okay, it's my problem." The major opened his mouth and could only say that the general is the general, but he is different from himself, so he decided to make the matter clear from beginning to end.
Taking a deep breath, Major McClung said: "That's it. We just detected a violent explosion in the north-west direction. According to the radar monitoring, the explosion power is not less than 5 tons of TNT equivalent, so we sent out a reconnaissance
Let’s take a look at the situation.”
"What's the result?" General Daniel asked in a deep voice, his voice neither quick nor slow.
"The pilot just reported that Mount Pinatubo to the north erupted. That's how the earthquake was felt."
Daniel was stunned for a moment, blinked, and was silent for a full three seconds. The name of Mount Pinatubo is very familiar. It seems to be not far away. There is a lake formed after the volcanic eruption on it. The scenery is very beautiful. What did he just say?
?
Explode what?
"What did you say?" Daniel frowned, sat up from his seat and asked again.
"Mount Pinatubo erupted."
"A volcano has erupted?" Daniel's tone suddenly increased, and his voice became sharp, like a woman who had her butt pinched. "A volcano has erupted!!?"
"Yes, General Daniel." Major McClung confirmed again, but his voice sounded less calm...
…
"Fuck, damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier about the volcanic eruption!!" Daniel almost jumped up, with veins on his neck exposed, and roared loudly, "You're still here fucking talking slowly, sounding the air raid siren, no, no
, pull the fire alarm, fire alarm!!”
"Come out quickly and prepare to retreat!!"
Major McClun was stunned when he heard the roar coming from the microphone. He promised Americans to stay calm when encountering anything!
This is... so uncool!
There was a crackling sound in Major McClun's heart, but was soon interrupted by the roar in the headset, and he quickly pulled the fire alarm.
It can't be an air raid siren. During an air raid, you have to hide in a room or underground. If magma comes, good guy, you can save yourself burying yourself.
The alarm sounded, and the entire base was in chaos. Daniel hurriedly led people out of the room and headed towards the communications base immediately. He wanted to know first-hand information about the volcanic eruption.
How do you know how to respond if you don’t know the situation?
Sitting on the commuter car inside the base, Daniel told his secretary to immediately contact the country and experts. He wanted to listen to expert opinions!!
There cannot be any mistakes at this time. There are more than 15,000 Americans in the base, including soldiers, family members, and various personnel providing support services for the base!
This does not include the larger number of local Filipinos. If locals are included, 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 force base. The two bases charge the Philippines $900 million from the United States every year and provide 40,000 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 in the Philippines will almost certainly trigger an economic crisis.
Therefore, despite the fact that it is a student prostitution and it is a public security issue, the Philippine government will not take it seriously at all. Everything is focused on the economy.
Must be open!!
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
Daniel may not care whether or how many Filipinos die, but he cannot care whether or how many Americans die.
Once the casualties are too large, it will be a huge trouble for him.
This has nothing to do with whether the volcanic eruption was an accident or a natural disaster. If you enjoy rights in this position, then if something goes wrong, you must take responsibility.
Therefore, Daniel is really in a hurry now and urgently needs domestic help and expert guidance.
Before the car stopped, Daniel hurriedly jumped out and ran into the communication base. Before anyone arrived, the voice came, "How is it? What's the situation now?"
As soon as he saw that the commander was coming, McClung immediately switched the communication to broadcast mode and ordered the other side to report again.
"Report, there is not much magma. What I see here is volcanic ash. A large amount of volcanic ash. Once it erupts, it rises into the sky like a mushroom cloud. It is still erupting high into the sky. I can't see the specific details here.
How high is it?"
"Tell me your current height." Daniel asked in a deep voice.
"Hovering at an altitude of 3,000 meters, 4,000 meters away from the crater."
"Did the volcanic ash exceed your height? Did it spread outward?"
"It has exceeded my height and is spreading outwards rapidly. I don't know the specific speed here, but we are retreating step by step from 1 kilometer away. It feels very fast."
Upon hearing this report, Daniel's face darkened.
It's still fucking midnight over here in the United States, and I don't know when I can 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 it, am I supposed to answer this question?
I'm just a soldier!
"Report to the commander, I don't know!" the soldier reported loudly.
"I'll let you
Tell me about your feelings. Do you understand what you feel? No one in the base has studied any damn volcanoes. Now we can only rely on subjective judgments. Soldier, tell us your judgment. This is an order!" Daniel yelled angrily, now
How can I care about my image?
Even if the base is bombed by the enemy, he will not be so anxious because he knows how to deal with it, but a volcanic eruption...
"Reporting time, I, I feel it, they are getting closer and closer, we are retreating quickly!" The soldier on the other side had to grit his teeth and said.
Daniel took a deep breath, and before he could say anything, his secretary hurried over and said, "Mr. Commander, if you are in the base now, if your view is not blocked, you can see the huge volcanic ash plume."
‘Hoo!!’, Daniel took a long breath, stamped his feet and ordered: “Command everyone to organize an evacuation immediately.”
As he spoke, Daniel paused and added again: "Send out all our vehicles and evacuate non-military personnel first, and women and children first!"
"Yessir!" The secretary stood at attention and saluted, turned around and ran out.
"Order, all ships in the port, no matter who they belong to, are commandeered and prepared to evacuate. The destination is... Gangni." Daniel hesitated. He didn't know where the volcanic ash would drift, but he first
At that time, I was thinking about the protective umbrella of cooperation with the Gujiao Building, and I was thinking about Wei Ni.
In fact, there is another base here in Xingcheng, but it is too far and it takes too long to sail there.
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,
Won't remember it!
