Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 479 Sea Beasts Attack
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Yao had just squinted on the sofa for less than an hour when he was woken up by his military secretary.

The secretary of the military aircraft expressed guilt that because of an important situation, he had to disturb the president's seldom sleep time.

Then the secretary of the military aircraft reported that the traces of mutant sea beasts were found in the East China Sea near Haicheng.

Lu Yao's heart trembled, the time has finally come!
According to Zhong Cheng's deduction, the targets of the imperial army's release of these mutated sea beasts must be human cities living on land.

Zhong Cheng has repeatedly reminded the high-level federation on Earth not to underestimate these sea beasts. Judging from a series of measures taken by the Imperial Army, they have great hopes for these sea beasts, believing that they can compete with modern advanced weapons.

Lu Yao tidied up his clothes, washed his face, and rushed to the combat situation analysis room of the Federal Army General Staff Headquarters on the floor below the presidential office floor together with the military aircraft secretary.

At this time, Sima Bei, Zheng Qingwu, Wu Tie, Zhou Tuan and others had already arrived. Zheng Qingwu and Wu Tie rushed back to Haicheng from the front line of Ceres just a few days ago.

Except for Zhong Cheng who was unable to return on Mars, all members of the Federation Supreme Command were present.

Since the mysterious disappearance happened, this huge war situation analysis room of the General Staff Headquarters has become a temporary combat command center for dealing with this incident, which shows that the Federation attaches great importance to these mutated sea beasts.

When Sima Bei and the others saw Lu Yao coming in, they stood at attention and saluted.

Lu Yao nodded to everyone, walked to the huge integrated information display screen, and asked, "How's the situation?"

Zhou Tuan replied: "The patrol troops deployed on the East China Sea have lost contact. The underwater sonar detections from the coastal observation station show that hundreds of thousands of mutated sea beasts are heading straight to the mainland from the bottom of the Western Pacific Ocean. It is moving very fast, and it is expected to land on the coast of Haicheng in 2 hours."

"It is not ruled out that they will flow upstream from the mouth of the Yangtze River and enter inland rivers such as the Huangpu River."

Sima Bei said: "I have ordered the 30 garrison troops in Haicheng to enter the temporary defensive position along the coast, and the three mecha corps of the Federal Army stationed in Haicheng will build a defense line along the river."

"President, now you need to sign an order to evacuate the people in Haicheng, at least those near the coast and river banks!"

Lu Yao hesitated when he heard the words. Haicheng has hundreds of millions of people, and it is a city with a dense river network. It is estimated that there are 3000 to [-] million people who need to be evacuated. The movement is too big, and the organization is also very difficult.

If it's just a false alarm, it's really hard to explain to the public!

"Wait, see the situation before deciding!"

Sima Bei was also aware of the difficulties involved, and agreed with Lu Yao's opinion.

Zheng Qingwu said: "We have collected a batch of depth bombs eliminated by the previous navy from the combat readiness warehouse. They can be transported by Xuanwu cargo planes to the sea area where the mutated sea beasts are advancing and dropped, inflicting severe damage on them and making them retreat!"

Both Lu Yao and Sima Bei were skeptical about this, thinking that these old-fashioned bombs would not be effective against mutant sea beasts, but they still agreed to give it a try.

Haicheng is too important to the Federation. Once a war breaks out in Haicheng, it will be a huge disaster regardless of the outcome.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, before the effect of the depth charges, the command center received a report from the headquarters of the New York Defense Forces, and a large number of deformed sea beasts appeared in the waters near New York.

In the next half hour, the phone at the command center rang.

Shencheng, Dalian, Tokyo, Singapore, Mumbai in Asia, London, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Barcelona in Europe, Miami, San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro in America, Sydney in Australia, Cape Town, Cairo in Africa and more than a dozen coastal cities also sent The warning of an incoming sea beast.

Intelligence analysts preliminarily estimated that there were more than 400 million deformed sea beasts, and more than 200 Xuanwu cargo planes that went to carry out the bombing mission were all shot down by unknown weapons when they reached the sky above the sea beast army.

Lu Yao and others finally sensed that the situation was not good, and immediately issued an order for all coastal city residents to evacuate to the inland areas.

Sima Bei asked Lu Yao to evacuate Haicheng immediately, and go to Kunlun City first to avoid possible dangers.

But Lu Yao categorically refused, and the dignified federal president was frightened by a group of wild beasts, leaving the army and the people and fleeing, damaging the face of the federation.

He still said what he said just now, first look at the situation before speaking, and it's not too late to leave if it doesn't work.

Zheng Qingwu's persuasion was useless, so he asked Lu Yao and Sima Bei to go to the temporary coastal defensive position to see the situation and assess the combat capability of the mutated sea beast nearby.

Sima Bei understood what Zheng Qingwu meant, and wanted to buy time for them when the worst happened.

Although Zheng Qingwu is not young, he has been insisting on training the operation of the mecha. If he is careful, his safety should be fine.

Sima Bei agreed to Zheng Qingwu's request after thinking for a moment.

After Zheng Qingwu put on the light white tiger mecha, he left the Federal Building with several adjutants and guards in a military electric speeding car.

It was already past 11:40 in the evening.

But Haicheng is still brightly lit, and the shrill siren echoes over the city. The government and police personnel are arranging for the orderly evacuation of the people, but the effect is obviously not ideal.

The city was in chaos. Countless planes, speeding cars, and cars wanted to leave the city. The noise of the crowd, the crying of children, the honking of vehicles, and the shouting of civil servants intertwined into a doomsday scene.

Zheng Qingwu's military flying car was going against the direction of the chaotic air traffic.

He shook his head secretly. Compared with the people in the asteroid belt and Mars, the people on Earth are more like flowers in a greenhouse.

This kind of evacuation is inefficient at all, even if the evacuation work cannot be completed in a week, in the end it is up to the army to block the attack of the mutated sea beast.

In this regard, Zheng Qingwu still has great confidence.

The Haicheng garrison is the most elite ground combat force of the Federation, and it is the best mecha warrior selected from various theaters of the Federation.

Maybe it is not as good as some first-line mecha corps in terms of combat experience, but the equipment is the best, and the quality and training level of the officers and soldiers is also the highest.

Moreover, after discovering that the imperial mecha troops had sneaked into the earth's oceans, the federal army headquarters built temporary fortifications on the coastline of Haicheng, equipped with a large number of various electromagnetic guns and laser cannons.

Zheng Qingwu believed that with the 30 garrison troops and the coastal fortifications, it would be no problem to deal with hundreds of thousands of sea beasts. The only thing was to reduce casualties and prevent individual sea beasts from entering the city.

Ten minutes later, the military flying vehicle arrived at the command center of the coastal position near the former Pudong International Airport at high speed, which is less than 10 meters from the sea.

The commander of the Haicheng garrison greeted Zheng Qingwu and his party, but rejected Zheng Qingwu's request to continue to patrol the sea.

Because the army of sea beasts has arrived!
