At this time, they didn't know what was happening.
So, out of kindness, the interim government used radio, public television and cable broadcasting systems to issue a statement that gave hope and despair to those who remained in the city.
The hope is that registered local residents will receive assistance and the Self-Defense Forces will continue to assist them in evacuating;
Despair is that those who join violent groups are completely ostracized, just like those refugees who were originally accepted but chose to rebel. They either die in the competition for remaining resources or starve to death.
"So, Raphael, what role do we play in this?"
Lingyin sat in the passenger seat of the Hummer, biting a lollipop in her mouth and holding her HK416 in her hand, looking fully prepared.
"I don't know. The Research Bureau hasn't sent any news recently." Raphael lightly braked and slowed down to pass the intersection ahead.
"I heard that the evacuation is still going on, but there are still a large number of people stranded in the city. There is no result on how to evacuate or where to evacuate to."
"That has nothing to do with us."
Raphael sighed softly and shouted to Fei Niao who was operating the heavy machine gun in the back: "3 o'clock direction, fire!"
"learn."
dong dong dong...
A short burst of fire turned those guys with bad intentions into minced meat. Well, they are not here to spread mercy, but to maintain the safety of the base.
Everyone had to live their lives, this was how they lived now, and no one had the slightest idea how long it would last or how it would end.
"Safe." Asuka reported.
"I didn't hear it clearly, repeat it again." Lingyin shouted.
"Safe, 3 o'clock is clear."
As Asuka said this, he kicked Lingyin's chair, telling her not to take the opportunity to make trouble.
There were four other high-speed mobile patrol teams like theirs, and the rest were standard 4-man infantry patrol squads. If they got into a firefight, the mobile patrol vehicles here would go to support them.
Although the base also has M2A3 Bradley fighting vehicles, their number is limited and their mobility is not as good as wheeled vehicles. Besides, letting such armored vehicles patrol the streets is overestimating the refugees who are rioting.
By the way, many ground crew members have been assigned to patrol and combat readiness teams. Forced by the current situation, the Research Bureau reluctantly registered Lingyin and Fei Niao and provided them with corresponding identities.
Although Raphael had some complaints about the surname issue, for the sake of her identity problem being resolved, she didn't want to get entangled with the idiot who organized this matter for the time being.
The two newly promoted ensigns no longer had to go out under the identity of "Raphael".
Chapter 161 Fleet Personnel Department with Poor Memory
The two idiots were very happy to have an official identity, and they didn't seem to care much about the name.
In their opinion, names are not that important. If they are not called "Rin Yin" or "Fei Niao", will Raphael not be able to tell who they are?
For ordinary people, they might be confused because of their identical appearances. But for the dolls that are online, the internal numbers are clearly written, so it is impossible to make a mistake.
"Lieutenant, the commander is looking for you." said the messenger at the door.
"now?"
"Yes."
Raphael was confused as to how he got involved with the base commander. But he had to go, so he simply told Asuka to take good care of Lingyin.
It was unusual now, and it was very dangerous outside the base. According to their current physical condition, they were not suitable for fierce combat.
She thought about it again, and after realizing that she had nothing left out, she turned and walked out of the dormitory.
Raphael had never been to the headquarters, even though it was in a small building behind the airport tower.
Normally, the airport does not seem that big, but until you actually walk on the small paths for people to pass through, you will realize that a journey that usually only takes a few minutes by car can also make people feel bored.
It takes about four or five kilometers to walk from the dormitory to the tower.
There was the sound of automatic rifle fire from outside again, so close that there was no doubt that the riot was spreading here. She began to wonder if the Research Bureau was facing the same situation: civil unrest.
In that damn place called the United States, everyone has a gun. With a total population of less than 4 million, three times the number of guns have been sold. Who knows what weird things might happen.
As she was lost in thought, she walked to the bottom of the tower.
"Is this the headquarters?" Raphael confirmed.
The guard checked her ID and replied that it was right here.
"How do we get to the base commander?" Raphael asked softly.
"To Howard's?"
A strange voice came from behind her: "You are the lieutenant who was brought over from Kyushu Island, right?"
"Ah... yes, it's me."
"Oh, that's it! Very interesting," the voice said. "Well, let's go."
When they stepped onto the stairs, Raphael took the opportunity to look back and saw that the person walking behind her was an Air Force colonel, who should be the real aviation combat commander of this station.
Raphael knocked on the door and said, "Commander, you're looking for me?"
"Yes, please come in." Howard glanced at Raphael, feeling a little confused.
Raphael was startled. The commander was actually next to me. I even left him behind when I went upstairs just now... Oh, it's okay. We are not from the same system. Even if the other party is dissatisfied, he can only hold it in!
Howard opened a door and walked in first.
Raphael knew that this was a request for her to follow her, so she walked in as well.
Behind the door was a spacious office with two nice-looking sofas and a matching tea table. In the middle was a high-end wooden desk that looked very expensive.
Howard sat down on the sofa next to him.
It seems that this is not about accountability or anything else, but rather an attempt to have a conversation in an equal and friendly manner.
Raphael breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with a little relaxation.
"It's good news. The Bronze Star Medal I applied for you was approved."
"Huh?" She was a little confused. "Oh, thank you, sir."
"Are you surprised?" Howard smiled. "Indeed, if it is an application within your system, it will not be approved most of the time."
"Is it because the Air Force applied on your behalf?"
"Yes. Although the officers' quarters were not attacked by ELID infected people, considering your actions in the early stage of the riot and assisting the Air Force's officers to complete the self-defense formation."
The colonel said bluntly, "Our officer corps pilots are different from those in the army and navy. The guys who can fly fighter planes are not easy to deal with. It is common for them to look down on others. Being able to calm them down and make them obey without causing trouble is an outstanding contribution."
"Thank you for the compliment. I don't want my dormitory to be attacked." Raphael said reluctantly. She always tried to play it safe. Even if she accidentally revealed a flaw, she would set up a cordon to avoid suspicion.
It seems that a lot of things happened on the day when hibernation processed redundant data.
When I go back later, I will go to the supply and marketing supermarket and bring some snacks back for Lingyin as a reward.
It seems that the medal proving his meritorious service was given to the wrong person, but Raphael couldn't say it. The matter of the bionic humanoid was still a top secret, so she was very uncomfortable.
After some usual pleasantries, Howard asked her about her mobile patrol, in which he heard that a vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun was used.
Raphael reported everything he observed, down to the smallest detail.
After listening, Howard nodded, he knew some details that had been overlooked.
"It means that it's very quiet to the east of us."
"Yes, it's very quiet."
"This is unusual. The Japanese Provisional Government, no, it is understandable that the local residents here chose to leave, but they left too cleanly."
"I don't know the exact number," Raphael said.
"No, I'm not asking about the normal residents around you."
"I understand."
"That's good to understand," Howard said. "Everyone knows that the residents here don't welcome us. Who would want to work here? Every time we take off and fly along the island chain, we can basically communicate with the air force of the country to the north. If we are not careful, we will end up being caught in the trap, and this is true for both sides.
Damn it, the people up there in power are always using our lives as chess pieces, building a chessboard out of islands, oceans and skies to provide a platform for their careers.
Ah, sorry, don’t tell anyone about these things. "
"I understand, sir." Raphael nodded. "I believe I share the same experience with you on this point."
"Oh?"
“Yes, I was in New York five years ago.”
"I see." Howard took a deep breath and carefully studied the girl's serious expression. "At that time, New York was plagued by an artificially modified smallpox called 'money flu' or 'greenback virus', right... No wonder."
He cheered himself up and continued, "There is also good news for you. The navy seems to have finally remembered you."
"Finally..."
"However, what they mean is that you should wait until next month and return to the mainland with the officers and soldiers who are on rotation leave."
"Good news is enough," Raphael replied.
"You are quite open-minded. You have been left here by the fleet for almost half a year. Don't worry, even if there are any changes at the last minute, I will find a way to get you on the return flight."
Chapter 162: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
"...Many of us just pretend to be calm, but he is actually always calm. I think some people need to learn from you.
In today's environment: we are almost surrounded, surrounded by chaos and the shadow of death. In this environment, the main thing is to stay calm. I hope the fleet can regain its composure...
Well, that's enough complaining. Thank you for being a good listener, Lieutenant. You can go now."
As Raphael walked out of the headquarters and back along the path at the edge of the airport, she was very surprised that the Air Force Commander would have such emotions.
Howard's calm and relaxed attitude when he talked to her did not seem to be deliberately artificial. Raphael felt that it was all very natural and real, as if what he said was exactly what he thought.
Yet this day of sobriety seemed likely to produce quite the opposite emotion.
“Maybe he knows something we don’t know,” Raphael thought, “maybe there are reinforcements, maybe he is making some preparations in another place… Anyway, it’s not a good thing.”
She immediately gave up the idea... No, that's not the case.
She suddenly understood very clearly the reason for the commander's unstable mood: it was simply because the worst thing that could happen had already happened, but she didn't know what had happened yet.
Perhaps it was the flying collapse fluid storage lattices that caused the trouble, forcing the US military and the White House to adjust their deployment.
In addition, this Air Force colonel who was about to be promoted to a general actually talked with Raphael, an ordinary lieutenant officer of a different rank, for a full 10 minutes, and even said a few words that seemed to have no direct relationship with the matter.
After Raphael left the headquarters, it took him some time to return to his temporary residence.
"Hey, how's it going over there?" Asuka asked.
Rafael told her that the base commander had applied for a Bronze Star Medal in the name of the Air Force, and then discussed the evacuation aircraft, but arranged it for next month's rotation: they would follow the rotating leave personnel at this base.
However, the commander also said some strange things.
Fei Niao had a flash of understanding, and she probably knew what Commander Howard was thinking.
She turned the computer over and pulled out records of international disaster events in the past half month - this time it was the Palestinian-Israeli region.
Because of the violent impact when landing, the collapse fluid storage lattice was damaged, which directly polluted some residential areas in the area into an uninhabitable red high collapse radiation area, which directly caused them to lose millions of people.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pakistani hardliners launched an unprecedented offensive posture, blowing up the separation wall, parachuting, and other measures, showing an unstoppable momentum.
At the same time, Russia proposed a draft resolution in the Security Council, calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East, calling for the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, calling for the creation of conditions for the evacuation of civilians, calling for the release of all hostages, and condemning all acts of violence and terrorism against civilians.
But the moment the draft was proposed, the US representative cast a veto.
Afterwards, Russia's UN ambassador condemned the Israeli army's killing of Red Cross members and UN officials during the conflict.
But the delegation led by Britain, the United States and France simply stood up and left, and laughed from time to time in the conference hall.
In response to Russia's reckless remarks and taking sides, the US military urgently mobilized an aircraft carrier strike group patrolling near the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea to form a dual aircraft carrier formation with another battle group to enhance the US presence in the Mediterranean.
The purpose is naturally to deter the Middle Eastern people who are ready to make moves and avoid the outbreak of another Middle East war.
But as things stand, the deterrent power of the aircraft carrier fleet is simply unable to overcome nearly a hundred years of national hatred.
Simply put, the Israeli army, which is facing internal and external troubles, is attacking from all sides, provoking all the surrounding hostile forces at once. Battle reports and news are all promoting their bravery and invincibility, but the scattered sharing and short videos on social platforms are gradually revealing the confidence of the Israeli army.
On the first day of the war, senior Israeli generals were captured and an entire battalion of troops was killed in the barracks by rebels.
Most of the equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles are lying in the garage, neatly arranged.
