Vault 32

Chapter 182

In the No. 20 cave, more than [-] marines are already holding their rifles and guarding the exit of the tunnel.And right in the center of it, Liszt looked at the map with a solemn expression, and the surrounding mountains, canyons, hilltops, and forests had been marked on it. This was a very precise military map.

Beside him, fourteen heavily armed marines were already standing beside them, looking at the military map on the ground with the same serious expression, and each of them was whispering to each other, but their expressions became more and more serious. dignified.And when their eyes looked at the corner of the map, the area marked Prince Rupert Port, made their eyes shrink even more.

And Liszt's gaze was also looking at this port city near the sea, and his squatted body also leaned forward slightly, turned his head and glanced at the squad leaders around him, stretched out his hand to tap it slowly, and asked lightly. Said: "How about it, if we choose to attack this Prince Rupert port, how successful is it?"

His voice was questioning, but he was also quite firm, and the faces of the squad leaders around him became more serious, but no one took the initiative to answer. They are silently calculating, but judging from the increasingly gloomy looks on their faces, they can also estimate that the situation is not optimistic.

Tapping the map lightly with his fingers, Liszt also took a deep breath, looked at the captains around him, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "If this mountainous area is a chessboard, then this port is the queen of the Soviets. After a pause, his tone was also decisive, and he said in a deep voice: "Breaking their layout will buy us at least two months!"

Prince Rupert Port is really too important. Even if they all look at the layout of this port city on the map, they can feel its importance.Not only does it connect the Pacific Ocean to the Queen Charlotte Islands outside, but even the Freshwater River on the port side also connects several small towns within the Rocky Mountains.

"This is the junction of the Canadians and the Soviets."

After clicking on the names above, Liszt seemed a little disappointed that there was no response from his side, his brows were slowly frowned, and he looked at Karl next to him and said: "Although they are well-defended, they are the command systems of two countries after all. When encountering an instant attack, they will also fall into chaos directly due to the inconvenience of communicating with each other, and this is our biggest advantage."

Carl nodded slightly, and his brows were similarly frowned, but he looked at the Prince Rupert Port that Lister was referring to, and his eyes slowly shifted to the Queen Charlotte Islands across the Pacific Ocean, and the sunsets in the upper reaches of the river. Kishan finally gritted his teeth, and shook his head at Liszt: "If we choose to attack Prince Rupert, the success rate is really low."

"We have no support. Even if we capture it, it will at most destroy some key points."

Everyone seemed to be waiting for Karl to speak. After his words fell, the other team captains also hesitated slightly for a moment, and still said what they were thinking: "And our number is very small, not to mention that we have to be separated to be responsible for guarding. This cave base and the modification of the interior of the cave make it impossible to conduct large-scale operations."

The surrounding squad leaders also nodded one after another. Even if all the marines attack now, there are only 140 people. Although the group of Soviets and Canadians were caught off guard with extremely low casualties before, but Still can't hide the fact that their number is too small.

What's more, even if they guessed, they would know that there must be no less than a regiment of troops stationed in Prince Rupert Harbor.Such an important port, even if they don't have much thought, for this group of Soviets or Canadians, they must definitely guard it carefully.After all, the entire coastal area of ​​North America relies almost exclusively on this port for material transportation. Even on the Mexican battlefield, which involves the main force of the U.S. federal forces, this port also transports materials.

"But our time is running out."

Frowning slightly, Liszt's face became slightly gloomy, and of course he could understand what Carl and the team leaders were saying.Because he himself understands it quite well, but he turned his head and looked at the white snow layer outside the entrance, and slowly gritted his teeth and said: "If we wait until spring, then our troops will suffer the most direct impact."

Liszt stretched out his hand slowly, pointing to a few points on the military map under him, turned his head and said to the Marine Corps squad leaders beside him in a deep voice: "Prince Rupert in the northwest, Prince Rupert in the north The town of Telos, the town of Kitimat in the east, and the town of Hartbury in the southeast will all be surrounded by the Soviets and Canadians in the spring. The key points for completely besieging us, even if they send infantry to encircle and suppress us, will not It will be in these towns!"

"But why do we have to set our sights on Prince Rupert?"

Carl's words suddenly interrupted Liszt, his eyes were serious, but his eyes slowly extended on the map, his brows were furrowed more tightly, his tone was a bit serious, and he asked slowly : "Captain Liszt, do you have to open the passage to Alaska?"

The rest of the people looked at the map very solemnly, and looked at the coastal area of ​​Alaska spreading to Canada, this coastal area of ​​British Columbia, with a bit of bewilderment on their faces.As long as the passage to Prince Rupert Port is opened, the mountainous area where they are located will be able to directly connect to the territory of the United States Federation, and even reconnect with the defenders in the direction of Alaska. It is not impossible!
But the reason why everyone looked solemnly was precisely because of this, because even the Soviets knew the importance of this port, otherwise they would not directly intervene in the internal affairs of the Canadians and directly send garrisons to guard it.There are more than 100 of them, even if they are more than 500, they are completely helpless in the face of Prince Rupert Port, which has complete fortifications and a large number of garrison troops.

Of course, Liszt has some hopes for the Anchorage defense line in Alaska, or he has some hopes for the old Buner, the commander-in-chief of the Anchorage defense line.If the channel of communication between the two sides can be opened up, then he does not need the remote assistance of the Nevada Air Force Base, and the Anchorage defense line, which has a relatively long distance and has a huge military force, can become his most direct guarantee.
