Vault 32

Chapter 50 Alaska

Retired soldiers from any country can be said to be reservists of active-duty troops.When the war situation is urgent, or when the scale of the war is to be expanded, they will be re-conscripted by the country and become active regular troops again.After all, veterans have received several years of rigorous military training, and after only a few weeks, they will be able to return to their previous service status. For recruits on the battlefield, it is much more suitable.

When the United States invaded Mexico, a large part of the active-duty troops who experienced the real battlefield gradually retired in the past few years.But now the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, with the depletion of oil resources, has become more and more tense, almost to the point where both sides are secretly preparing for war, and it has become a matter of course to recruit retired soldiers again.In fact, within five working days, 10,000+ soldiers who have retired in recent years have been re-recruited, returned to the army to receive military training again, and then were reassigned to the active main force.

In fact, the military training of ordinary people by the US federal government has already begun. Whether it is TV programs, radios, or roadside newspapers, there are some hints about the coming clouds of war.Looking at the soaring number of members in the Rifle Association and the Hunting Association, one can tell that those ordinary civilians are really scared.

In the previous Fallout series of games, the nuclear war between the United States and China in 2077 was just the ultimate means to detonate all the powder kegs.In fact, from 2077 to more than ten years, there have been countless local wars or military conflicts that broke out on the surface between the two sides, and there have been more than one secret confrontations between the two sides.If it wasn't for the fact that both sides failed to test each other's strength, they would have started to wave the banner of war a long time ago!
Located in Alaska, centered on Anchorage and assisted by the mountains along the Pacific coast, the famous Anchorage Line of Defense was built to guard the safety of the North American continent and the continental United States.Of course, even if there is no China now, it is the same in a world that has become the Soviet Union. Facing the terrifying steel torrent of the Soviet Union, the US federal government finally succeeded in building the Anchorage Line of Defense at the end of 2059.

This is the forefront of North America's defense against the Soviet Union. All the weapons in active service of the United States Federation have been transported along with the construction of the Anchorage Line of Defense.And in this icy and snowy world, the heavy armored troops of the US Army, which are comparable to the Soviet Union's heavy armored elite, have also quickly arrived on the shore of Alaska from the mainland of the United States with the help of naval transport ships, and assembled in an orderly manner. Follow the command of the supreme command and quickly go to the defense zone that belongs to you.

According to Lister's calculations, there are at least 3 troops assembled in the current Anchorage defense line, and in the next few months, 5 troops will be coming soon.After all, the terrifying torrent of steel in the Soviet Union has always enveloped the entire North America like an iron curtain. Even the so-called Alaska, which is now the territory of the United States, has been infiltrated by Soviet reconnaissance forces as the defense line in the Bering Strait exists in name only. The sieve is average.

"But this damn place is really a bit cold."

Liszt wiped his nose, and there seemed to be tiny icicles in the cold air, as if piercing through his trachea with his breathing, he couldn't help shivering instantly.His gaze followed the densely packed heads of the crowd and looked into the distance. There are many green forests dotted in the continuous snow-capped mountains, just like green spots scattered in a piece of white, which made him sigh with emotion: "Here it is, Alaska!"

Unlike California's mild climate, Alaska, which is already in the frigid zone, is covered by ice and snow all year round.The wind and snow from the Arctic Ocean or Siberia covers most of the sky in Alaska. In fact, the so-called summer and autumn here are only short-lived green.

But it is precisely because of the climate and scenery of Alaska that it shows a unique charm different from other states in the continental United States.However, the smoke of war filled the land, and the transport planes and armored vehicles also made the Alaska landscape a bit hideous.The pure white snow can not only cultivate the sentiment, but also the biting cold hidden inside can bury the corpse. The lush forest not only looks refreshing, but also can make the mountain jungle battle extremely tragic.

"Alaska, the front line against the Soviet Union!"

Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Liszt couldn't help stretching out his arms, feeling the icy coldness coming to his lungs along the windpipe, calming his restless heart.The hustle and bustle of the continental United States is like a rapidly surging undercurrent under the sea. It seems that there is no problem, but as long as you make a wrong step and sink in, you will be dragged and swallowed by the ferocious undercurrent.If one's own strength is not strong or one's luck is unlucky, the consequences may be really difficult to conceive.

Although Alaska seems to be on the front line against the Soviet Union, if a war breaks out, it will be the most tragic battlefield.But that was just a superficial appearance, and it was precisely because this was the battlefield defense line that blocked the Soviet Union, the American Federation and those crazy scientists did not dare to carry out some political activities here too much *experiment of.

However, Liszt's gaze was a little dazed, but he wasn't at a loss. On the contrary, it was the airport crowded with transport planes, armored vehicles, and crowds that made him wonder what he should do next.A large number of troops assembled in a short period of time brought about the temporary failure of the command system, but he looked at the dozen or so people following him, but he couldn't help shrugging: "Okay, friends, I have to admit , it looks like we have to wait here for an unknown amount of time."

"I knew it, so I'm not in a hurry."

One of the young men wearing sunglasses smiled, his blond hair was comparable to that of John, but in fact he was a bit more handsome than John.Especially the appearance of sitting on the backpack attracted the attention of several passing female soldiers.And he didn't care, instead he chewed the gum in his mouth, tilted his head and looked at the dense crowd around him, he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "That's enough, I don't know if I can have dinner in the camp. "

They are all retired veterans, and they have trained intensively together for three days. Although they are not friends, at least they have established a friendship.Seeing this guy's dissatisfied look, Liszt couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, took out a box of chocolates from his pocket and threw it to him, nodded and said: "Okay, Cassius, don't complain, after all, this used to be a civilian At least the infrastructure of the airport is perfect.”

They stayed on the navy's transport ship for a whole morning, and they hadn't eaten anything so far except for some breakfast with the sailors.Now looking at the chocolate in his hand, Cassius, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't help but smile. He pointed his chin at the sun that had already slanted in the sky, and the still crowded and noisy airport around him. He tilted his head and looked at Liszt, very He said mockingly: "This group of people has three hours to arrange, so I thank God for the gift."

"Hey, Cassius, don't proclaim the name of God in such a sleazy tone."

But before Cassius finished speaking, a dissatisfied voice sounded behind him.At the same time, a slightly thin figure came over, looked at the impatient Cassius sitting on the backpack, subconsciously stretched out his hand and made a cross on his forehead and chest, trying to make his tone calmer: " Just use gratitude and peace of mind, and God will give us peace."

"Oh, my dear magic stick, don't be like this, I really hope you can be quiet for a while."

A helpless expression suddenly appeared on Cassius's face, and he covered his ears with both hands to indicate that he didn't want to listen, but that exaggerated movement made several good friends around him laugh out loud.But Cassius didn't finish his sentence, instead he shook his head vigorously and said, "Stop talking, you Protestant, our Blackhall family are Mormons, if you are like this, I will really die for God's sake." Hit you."

The obviously religious young man next to him blushed immediately, and just about to continue to refute something, Liszt next to him raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.He looked at the crowd in front of them who were already gradually moving, and reminded them: "Okay, don't make a fuss, there is movement ahead, everyone, get ready, it looks like you're leaving soon."
