Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Just when the anti-aircraft gun platoon leader and the soldiers were arguing about the pass, a group of guards ran over from a distance. They were responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the base, so they escaped.

"Oh God!" The second lieutenant who led the team looked at the base in ruins with a horrified look on his face, somewhat incoherently. "What, what's going on?! Is there an earthquake?!" When we were patrolling, we encountered a sudden ground shaking. Several people were still unsteady and fell to the ground, thinking that some huge earthquake had occurred.

The anti-aircraft gun platoon leader happened to know the second lieutenant and greeted him loudly. "David, you came just in time. Don't be stunned, hurry in and save people!"

"Yes, yes!" David finally recovered and waved to the soldiers behind him who also looked shocked. "Quick, hurry up and save people!" Then he looked at the anti-aircraft gun platoon leader. "Miller, why are you here? I just saw you intercepting German bombers."

Miller sighed dejectedly. "The German bombers flew at an altitude of more than 17,000 meters, and our anti-aircraft guns could not reach them; they returned after dropping their bombs. Seeing the base in this condition, I wanted to come and rescue people, but we did not have passes and according to regulations we were not allowed to enter without authorization."

"Now that it's like this, don't worry about the pass. Follow me in quickly to save people!"

"Okay!" Miller nodded and led everyone to follow David over the collapsed wall and enter the base. "David, can you contact Mr. Vice President and others in the underground fortifications to confirm their safety? I'm worried that the German bombs are aimed at them."

"Well..." David shook his head with a look of embarrassment. "I am usually responsible for patrolling the perimeter. I am not very familiar with the specific operations in the base. I only know the entrance building to the underground fortifications. What kind of bombs did the Germans drop?"

"I don't know, but the German bomber dropped a bomb. It was just that the bomb was very big and very fast. It went into the ground all of a sudden, and then there was a big explosion. The result is what you see now. ."

"Just a bomb?" David couldn't help but clicked his tongue after hearing this. "I thought there was an earthquake of magnitude 89." As they spoke, they walked around the ruins of several collapsed houses and came to a ruins near the center of the base. "This is the entrance building to the underground fortifications."

"..." Miller looked at the hill-like ruins in front of him with some despair. Without large-scale construction machinery, it would be impossible for a few of them to clean it out. "Is there no other escape exit in the underground fortification?"

"Not as far as I know." David shook his head. "After all, this is just a temporary stop."

"Damn, this is too hasty!" There was no backup escape route in a gathering place for high-level officials of the country. Isn't this an opportunity to give the enemy a chance to take over? But it's useless to complain. The top priority is to rescue the people underground. "This requires large-scale tools, and we just don't have enough manpower. We have to notify the National Guard to come and help."

David was confused. "But the National Guard cannot be mobilized without an order from the Vice President."

The name of the U.S. National Guard is very confusing. If you don’t know this force, it is easy to judge it as a force similar to the police. In fact, the National Guard is the oldest armed force in the United States, established in 1636. year, a reserve component of the active duty forces of the United States.

At the beginning of its establishment, the organizational structure of the U.S. National Guard was very loose. Its main role was to maintain public security, rescue and provide disaster relief, and prepare for British attacks on the United States. In the early 20th century, the United States enacted the Militia Act to integrate state militia organizations into the National Guard.

In peacetime, the Department of Defense only has the authority to direct but not command the National Guard. The National Guard is commanded by state governments and is directly led by the lieutenant governor in charge of the National Guard in the state where it is located. Its main tasks are based on the orders of the Department of Defense and state governors. To order, safeguard the security interests of the country and local governments, maintain social stability and participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief; in times of war, the federal government has the right to mobilize National Guard troops for active service.

Now most of the National Guard has been transferred to active duty, and there are only a few National Guards in Washington. Moreover, Washington, DC is not a state, so it does not have a governor. The National Guard in the DC is directly dispatched by the president. Now that the Vice President has not been heard from, who can mobilize the National Guard? "Moreover, most of the National Guard has been transferred to active duty, and the number is not large. We have to find regular troops. Do you know the nearest military garrison?"

Miller shook his head. "I don't know." From the outbreak of the war to now, they have been responsible for providing air defense security to the White House senior officials, and they are not clear about the dynamics of other military services.

"Then we can only go to the National Guard first. Regardless of whether they come or not, at least let them notify the nearby garrison and the National Guard in other states." David called two people and told them to notify National Guard, and then notify the city.

Then the two of them walked around to the deep pit that was blown out in the center of the base. Standing on the edge of the pit, they could even feel the heat coming out of the pit. "God, what kind of bomb is this? Do you think that bomb will go directly into the underground fortifications?"

"Probably not." Miller said unsure. "The underground fortifications are at least 100 meters below. What kind of bomb can drill below 100 meters, and it is not an earth drilling machine. Well, maybe the Germans have invented a bomb that can penetrate the earth."

"I'm worried that even if the bomb cannot reach it, the energy wave generated by the explosion will destroy the underground fortifications. The Germans will not just drop a bomb casually, they must be sure."

"It would be terrible if that were the case." If all the top American officials in the underground fortifications were collectively killed, they could not imagine what the consequences would be. Not to mention such an important war period, even in peacetime, if a country's top government officials suddenly disappear en masse, the consequences will be quite terrible. At that time, the entire country will be in a state of anarchy, social order will be chaotic, and various public institutions will not be able to operate normally. The country will be torn apart, and wars will continue due to competition.

All in all, America will really be finished by then.

"What can we do?!" They were so anxious that they didn't know that they were suffering from fatal radiation. Although the radioactive contamination formed in the air when the earth-penetrating nuclear bomb explodes is much less, it does not mean that there is no radioactive contamination. And they were at the center of the explosion, and the radiation dose they received had reached a fatal dose. And at least the radiation dose within the entire base is far beyond the standard.

But at this time, they didn't know about radiation at all, and after looking at the big pit for a few more times, they also participated in the rescue.
