Chapter 692 Vandenberg Air Force Base

692. Vandenberg Air Force Base

Drip, drop, drop! ! Sirens sounded hurriedly in the Pentagon where the US Department of Defense is located. Numerous calls came in, and the operator was immediately busy.

"The San Francisco Police Department sent an emergency notice that a giant dragon landed from the Golden Gate Bridge! Hundreds of casualties have been caused!"

"The Third Fleet sent a communication, requesting to leave the port and go to the coast of San Francisco. They want to confirm the authenticity of the monster landing."

"The California National Guard has already set off and is expected to enter the San Francisco area in three hours!"

Tap, tap, hurried footsteps sounded, a thin-looking man in his sixties, with a epaulette of three stars on his shoulder, and his eyes were like a torch, walked quickly towards the National Defense in a neat military uniform accompanied by several assistants. Go to the office. He was Thomas Michel, who was then US Secretary of Defense [Note 1].

A young female assistant in a shirt hurried over, walked side by side with the old man, and handed over a document and said, "Mr. Michelle, Your Excellency the President will hold a teleconference in ten minutes."

Michelle kept walking, took the file, and nodded solemnly.

"Your Excellency, a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the Pentagon, claiming that their relatives had been attacked by a dragon in San Francisco, and demanded that the military respond as soon as possible. The same situation happened at the White House." A young military officer came over to pay respects. A ceremony said.

Michelle nodded and said, "I understand." Then the assistant behind him waved to the officer to signal him to leave.

Two soldiers waiting at the door opened the door, and Michel entered the conference room together with several officers behind him. The heavy conference room door closed with a click, and the LED screen on the door lit up a bright red light, indicating that the highest-level meeting was being held. s meeting.

In the meeting room, several people wearing general-level epaulettes were already waiting. Michelle sat on the main seat without saying a word, put down the documents in his hand, and said, "Gentlemen, I will report to the President in ten minutes. To report, now we must respond first in the shortest possible time, and have a preliminary understanding of the, um, dragon we are facing."

Speaking of which, Michelle picked up the remote control and pressed it, and an aerial video immediately appeared on the large screen in the middle of the conference room. In the middle of the video was a monster as tall as a mountain, and two aircrafts fighting the monster, and On the other end was a much smaller, khaki-coloured monster as tall as a building.

"The problem now is that this huge monster, before the scientific researchers give it an official name, we will temporarily call it an 'invader'. So what exactly is this 'invader'? Where did it come from? What is its purpose?" Mi As Xie Er said, his sharp eyes looked around at the surrounding generals.

Then he continued: "And! Which country belonged to these two advanced aircraft that were fighting the 'invaders'? And what is this smaller khaki monster? They are obviously fighting the 'invaders', What do they matter?"

"When the 'intruder' appeared this morning, San Francisco was shrouded in heavy fog, so the satellite did not return any useful information." A general said.

"I suggest that before everything is clear, first let the planes at Vandenberg Air Force Base take off to meet the enemy, and let the Third Fleet leave the port immediately, go to the coast of San Francisco, and use Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack if necessary!" Another general Raise your hand to speak.

"However, most of the F-22 'Raptor' fighter jets stationed in the Vandenberg Air Force Base may have limited damage to the 'invaders'." Another person questioned.

"It's so decided! The squadron at Vandenberg Air Force Base is dispatched immediately! If I remember correctly, a group of pilots from the British Royal Air Force happens to be visiting and studying there. I request that they also dispatch. I will let the President go to talk to the British Prime Minister. Explain! In addition, immediately start organizing the evacuation of the nearby cities, and at the same time, get in touch with the pilots of the two aircraft!" Michelle said firmly,

Packed up the files and walked out of the meeting room.

...

Vandenberg Air Force Base, Southern California, USA.

The harsh siren sounded, and the air force base immediately became busy. More than 20 F-22 'Raptor' fighter jets were neatly parked in the hangar, the canvas covering the aircraft was uncovered, and the air crew was busy, pushing trucks of missiles and cannon bullets over. installed on the aircraft. Tank trucks methodically poured aviation fuel into the fuel tanks of fighter jets.

The fighter jets that have completed their preparations are moved to the side of the runway and lined up neatly under the tractor. On the other side of the runway, more than a dozen U.S. Air Force pilots in full body equipment are holding a flight helmet and lined up in a neat line. Lecture.

Luca Penticos, a young black British female pilot, was sorting out her flight equipment. Her mobile phone was placed beside her, vibrating all the time, but she didn't notice it at all.

"Hey, Luca, what are you doing?" A colleague of the British Royal Air Force passed by here and asked strangely.

"Go and kill a dragon." Luka pointed to the TV hanging on the wall next to him.

The colleague spread his hands and said, "Are you kidding me? We are here on vacation to learn how to operate the F-22. What does the American affairs have to do with us? Going to fight against such, uh, dragon? Besides, the Americans will give Are we flying?"

"This is a matter for all mankind. Besides, can you be sure that this thing will not appear in the UK in the future? Regarding the matter of the plane, I don't believe that the Americans don't want more reinforcements." Luca pointed to the TV that was raging in the city. Kaiju Beast said. 【Note 2】

"Anyway, I'm going to..."

Before Luka finished speaking, footsteps sounded, and their captain, Major Lewis, walked in and said sharply: "Just now we received a request from the US Department of Defense, let us go out together to fight against the 'invaders' who landed! Do it now! Ready to take off!"

"yes!"

"Yes!" Luka and his colleagues immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Major Lewis nodded, turned and walked out.

Luka went to get the flying helmet next to her, only to find that there were more than a dozen missed calls on her mobile phone, and it was all from her brother Stike Penticos. Luka thought for a while and called back.

"Luka! I finally got in touch with you! I saw the news that a monster the size of a mountain appeared in San Francisco!!" Steyk's eager voice came.

"Ah, you're right, I'm going to kill monsters to save the earth!" Luka jokingly said as he lifted his flying helmet.

"Are you kidding me? You know you are on vacation now!! Don't you watch TV? You are going to die for such a big monster!!" Steyk roared loudly.

"I don't think such a cumbersome guy can pose any threat to the Air Force. In short, this matter has been finalized. We have been training the F-22 and will take off soon." Luka said.

"Bastard! You...you can't do this!!" Steyk was so angry that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Okay, we are soldiers, aren't we? Brother. Besides, destroying monsters and protecting human beings, I can't find a mission that can burn the blood of our soldiers more than this." Luca said firmly.

Styke was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "I understand Luka, you must be careful! Protect yourself first!"

"Listen to you." Luka replied indifferently, and turned off the phone.

However, at this time, there was the sound of pattering footsteps, and her captain, Major Lewis, went back and forth, but the major's face seemed a little stiff. He tilted his head to look at Luca, and suddenly asked, "Are you Luca Penticos?"

Luka immediately became vigilant. She took a step back and wanted to touch the pistol, but found that she was already wearing flying equipment and did not have a pistol. "You are not Lewis!! Who are you?!"

'Lewis' tilted his head and said slowly, "I was sent by your brother to protect you."

As soon as the words fell, Luka only saw a black shadow flashing in front of her eyes, followed by a tingling pain in the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness as soon as her eyes darkened.
