Chapter 814: Rachel's Rage
The refinery exploded, and the intensity of the fire was beyond ordinary people's imagination. The flames were tens of meters high, and the fire field stretched for one or two kilometers. The astonishing heat could be felt more than a hundred meters away.
Just when David Lawrence was on fire, two port fire boats rushed over and leaned against the Ryan River to spray water to cool down the fire. Now the main fire site of the catalytic refining equipment is hopeless, so we can only retreat to other places.
But the most troublesome thing at this time is not only the fire, but also the ongoing battle. When the fourth wave of destructive attacks flew from the sky, the people responsible for the rescue of the entire fire scene fell into deep despair.
Who the hell is so cruel? This oil refinery has already burned into a volcano, and if they don't let us go, they simply want us to die!
David Lawrence also knew that the situation was extremely bad. His Beiwei Oil Refinery was a large oil refinery with an annual processing capacity of 15 million tons of crude oil. The most important thing in this plant is the catalytic refining equipment, but this plant does not only have these things.
The most common ones in refineries are actually oil storage tanks. A large oil storage tank can hold thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of oil. In terms of volume, a tank is comparable to a building, and how many such tanks are there in the Beiwei Refinery? Hundreds!
The scene of the fire was too dangerous. David Lawrence was forced by his subordinates to evacuate from the front line. After retreating 300 meters, he saw rows of oil storage tanks along the Ruiwei River. On the left, there is a big jar, another big jar fifty meters away, and another big jar fifty meters away.
The large pot near the fire was bright red from the raging fire and might explode at any time. The only feeling of being in this kind of place is like standing in a pile of explosives, and it is still a pile of explosives that are lit and chirping. Anyone would be so frightened that their hearts trembled and their legs went limp.
It was at this time that the fourth wave of attack came in, and the target was aimed at those big and clumsy oil storage tanks. According to Zhou Qingfeng's request, David Lawrence's current arrogance should be completely released.
Faced with this situation, God is helpless. David Lawrence understood that unless these enemy planes were driven away, firefighting would be out of the question. He can only order the firefighters to retreat, and then urge the air defense and air power to annihilate or drive away these fighters from hell.
"My refinery, my refinery!" David Lawrence cried loudly when he was forced to evacuate. The attack almost completely defeated him, and his rapid rise interrupted his dream of dominating America.
Seeing that his boss was so decadent and his subordinates were at a loss, the person who stood up at this time was a bit unexpected. Rachel hurried back, seeing her husband collapsed in a mental breakdown, she could only cheer up and immediately take over the control of the overall situation.
"What are you doing here? To perform your duties! We have been attacked by a despicable sneak attack, are you so stupid and do nothing?
Your Excellency the Commander has done enough things for the Brotherhood on weekdays. Now he is just tired and needs to rest. He will recover after a while. And if you don't want to lose your current position of power, show me some courage. "
Relying on the past prestige of David Lawrence and the fact that people urgently need a spiritual support in the chaos, the Brotherhood's management quickly recognized Rachel's status and began to act again.
Regaining air supremacy, expulsing enemy planes, putting out fires, transferring and appeasing people, and organizing the aftermath. After the fourth attack wave left, these tasks started in order.
"If the refinery is gone, it will be gone, but we will not be crushed because of it. We are not united by this refinery, we are united by more than five million people."
Wearing a long skirt and plain makeup, Rachel can't do any professional things, but her existence is a symbol in itself. When she keeps going out of various government departments, the efficiency of the department's personnel will be doubled like chicken blood .
"This is a despicable sneak attack, but we will never give in because of it. The black hand who planned all this behind the scenes must pay the price. No one can bully us at will, and we must make him regret it."
Even if it is hard support, Rachel must show a firm, decisive, and calm image. Constantly walking through the city, her long skirts quickly became dirty, her outfit quickly became messy, her voice quickly became hoarse, but after a day and night of appeasement, her authority began to penetrate people's hearts.
While doing the superficial work, Rachel gathered David Lawrence's cronies, how to deal with the next thing is the key.
"Where did the enemy's plane come from?" Rachel sat behind the desk in her husband's office, looking coldly at the powerful figures of the dozens of New York fraternities below. She never imagined that she would one day take this position, but now she has no choice.
The military personnel quickly replied: "According to our judgment, the attack came from an aircraft carrier at sea. We have sent planes to search an area of 500 kilometers in the open sea, but we have not found any targets.
While no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, based on radio listening at the time of the attack, we'd guess... "
"No need to guess, I know who did it? Not everyone can do this kind of vicious method, except for that bastard, no one is so bold." Rachel gritted her teeth in hatred, and she asked coldly: " Our early warning and reconnaissance planes can't find where the attacker is?"
The military personnel replied again, "The occurrence of the cataclysm caused us to lose many professional military technicians, and now the forces in various places are divided, and high-end talents are firmly controlled by various forces.
Due to the loss of the satellite monitoring network, we only have enough ground operators for two groups of "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and we are trying to rebuild the New York air defense network. But there are still big loopholes in the monitoring of the sea surface. The enemy may attack again at any time. "
"You mean that kid still dares to come? He dares to use those broken planes to attack us?" Rachel was angry like an angry female leopard, "Do we have a way to fight back? Can we directly attack Havana? You won't Can't do anything?"
After discussing privately, the military personnel said: "It is no problem to organize a fleet from New York to attack Havana, but if we encounter an aircraft carrier attack on the way, it will be difficult for us to resist. Because we do not have an aircraft carrier."
The scene turned cold, and Rachel's face turned livid. Her hands were folded and twisted together, and her fingers turned white from the force.
At this time, a confidential secretary hurried into the office and said in a solemn tone: "Mrs. Lawrence, the head of the 'Aurora Legion' is calling by radio. He wishes to speak to the Commander-in-Chief."
"This devil, he is so shameless, he dared to come after him." Rachel gritted her silver teeth angrily. But now is not the time to be willful, and it took her a while to say with suppressed anger: "Pick up the call, and I'll talk to him."
Zhou Qingfeng's voice was quickly transmitted to Rachel's office via radio, and the head of the "Aurora Legion" said in an apologetic tone: "Rachel, I'm sorry, I hope you and Anji have not been shocked."
"Bastard, don't call me Rachel, you are not qualified to be an executioner." Rachel's anger burst out from between her teeth, "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Zhou Qingfeng sighed and said, "Now I hold a sharp sword in one hand and an olive branch in the other, it depends on your choice."
