Chapter 639 Invitation From Italy

The next journey was smooth, because we were already close to the gunboat's shooting range. Under the attack of powerful artillery fire, any powerful zombies and mutant beasts cannot escape the fate of destruction. Of course, those top bosses will not wander around the beach idle.

When they came to the beach, they found that the camp they had set up on the beach had disappeared. Fortunately, there was still a fleet on the sea in the distance.

So both the veterans and the new recruits shouted loudly and waved their hands desperately, hoping that people on the ship would see them. However, this place was more than a kilometer away from the fleet. Coupled with the interference of the sea wind, the shouts could not reach the fleet at all. Moreover, their shouts actually alerted the zombies. Several wandering zombies were attracted and began to approach the two of them.

"Child, do you still have physical strength?" the veteran asked.

"Yeah!" The young man nodded.

"Okay, you swim over, I'll cover you here!" the veteran said with a smile.

"Why are you with me?" the recruit asked.

"I can't swim. Going into the water will only drag you down!" The veteran still smiled, but his smile was a little helpless.

"No, let's go together. I don't want to go back and be your leader!" the recruit said firmly.

"Kid, hurry up, otherwise neither of us can leave!" the veteran continued to urge.

"No, if you don't leave, I won't leave either!" the recruit said firmly.

Just as the two were arguing, the zombies got closer, and you could even see the drool dripping from their mouths.

The veteran had no choice but to raise his gun and prepare to attack these zombies. Maybe the sound of gunfire would attract the attention of the fleet master.

But when the veteran pulled the trigger, what came from the rifle was the sound of an empty chamber.

"Oh, I'm going to die here in the end!" The veteran sighed helplessly. He turned around and asked, "Child, are you afraid of death?"

"Not...afraid!" The young soldier tried to keep his tone calm, but he was still a little trembling.

"Actually, I'm afraid too, but there's no point in being afraid. Only by taking risks can we possibly find a way out!" The veteran said as he installed the thorn on the head of the rifle.

The new recruits also followed suit and installed the thorn at the muzzle of their guns, preparing for the final fight with the zombies.

At this moment, suddenly there was the sound of a motor above their heads, and soon several drones appeared above their heads. These drones hovered above their heads for a while, then swooped down and gathered around them. The zombies went away, and then the missile was launched. Since the zombies were very close to the two of them, the ballistic explosion affected the two of them, knocking them to the ground. Fortunately, this was a beach, so they did not suffer much damage if they fell. harm.

There were not many zombies, and they were quickly cleared away by a few drones. Several ships appeared in the direction of the fleet and rushed towards the shore. At this time, the two knew that they had been rescued.

At this time, Holden was in the command room, closely observing the rescue operation. Yesterday, he sent many drones to conduct reconnaissance on land. Except for the soldiers who had turned into zombies, they found nothing. Moreover, there was a drone , was also attacked by mutant birds and crashed.

What made him even more unbearable was that at night, the camp he set up on the shore was attacked by zombies. Most of the soldiers inside were killed and injured, and only a few swam and ran back to the fleet. This meant that this landing The operation failed completely because they ran out of supplies.

Originally, Holden planned to sail back today, but if he went back without finding anything, his face was completely lost. He should have brought back some inland information.

So just when he was hesitating, someone suddenly reported that signs of living people were found on the shore. This made Holden really excited, and he could finally understand some of the situation on the ground.

"Quickly, send drones and lifeboats for rescue!" Holden quickly ordered, fearing that these two last hopes would also be killed by zombies.

When the veteran and the recruit were rescued, they had already fainted.

"What's wrong with them?" Holden asked the doctor next to him anxiously.

"They were overworked, didn't eat much, and were affected by the missile explosion, so they temporarily fainted, but it was nothing serious," the doctor replied.

Hearing this, Holden breathed a sigh of relief: "They're awake, notify me immediately!"

After Holden gave the order, he turned around and went out.

After that, the veterans and new recruits were questioned in various ways, including the retreat and various situations they encountered on land. When they learned about the situation on land, Holden knew that they had underestimated the zombies and mutant beasts on land.

However, this battle was not without success. The recruit, relying on the crystal core, quickly became an evolver, and finally became a well-known general in the European Union Army. He was later to be General Mongholi.

Soon, the news of the failure of the landing operation spread back to the headquarters in the UK, causing the entire leadership to explode. After all, all countries spent a lot of money on this operation, and they all fully expected to use this operation to regain their lost territory and restore their countries.

But who would have thought that without even landing, most of the supplies would be lost, especially in the camp that was attacked. Many supplies were piled in the camp. When they were attacked by zombies in the middle of the night, they were randomly shot and thrown by their own people. It was detonated, and the entire landing ended like this.

Of course, someone must take the blame for the failure of this landing. The landing commander will definitely not be able to escape. The testimonies of veterans and recruits revealed his crime of letting artillery fire bomb his own people, and his command mistakes were also blamed. Announce it. But a small landing commander would definitely not be able to shoulder this huge responsibility, and Holden became the one who took the blame.

Horton was quickly dismissed, becoming the Union Army's shortest-serving commander.

Due to the defeat, various countries began to re-examine the agreements signed with China, because on the day after the defeat, Greece signed a bilateral trade agreement with the Chinese government behind the backs of the United States and Britain.

The agreement was signed, and the Chinese army quickly handed over the jurisdiction of Milos Island and its affiliated islands. This gave the Greek government a virtual foothold. After all, the island they were on was simply too small to be smaller, because Before the end of the world, their national power did not have much money to support too many troops. This also meant that after the end of the world, they did not have much combat power to compete for more land. It would be good to maintain an island to gain a foothold.

The Greek government regained control of the island, which gave the Italian government across the sea hope. After all, the Chinese army is at the door. If the Chinese army can help, it can quickly restore the country. After all, let him spend a lot of money again. If the money is given to the United States, he will not have that much wealth.

"Chief, Mr. Marco, the Italian Ambassador, wants to see you!"

The No. 2 leader, who was reading the battle report, was suddenly interrupted by the new adjutant's voice.

"Oh? It seems that they can't survive it after all. Well, let him in!" The No. 2 leader said casually.

Soon, a typical European handsome man with curly hair, white skin, and a hooked nose was led in by the adjutant.

"Oh, I haven't seen you in a few days. Mr. Marco has become more handsome. He has attracted many little girls from my country!" the No. 2 leader joked.

"Mr. Chen, please stop making fun of me. My face is one that is being avoided. The girls in your country have too high standards now and can't even look down on our European faces!" Marco said angrily. A loveless expression.

"Haha, how is this possible?" Chief No. 2 said in surprise.

"Mr. Chen, let's not talk about those sad things, let's talk about the things between our two countries!"

"Oh? Our two countries? Did something big happen?"

"No, no, no, we hope that your country will also help us rescue our citizens just like you supported the Greek government." Marco deliberately turned from liberating the country to rescuing the citizens. In fact, there are no survivors alive on the Italian mainland. It’s hard to say.

"This... I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle!" Chief No. 2 said in an official tone.

"Why is it difficult? Our country is also willing to sign a trade agreement with your country!" Marco added hurriedly.

"Things are not that simple. When we liberated the Greek islands, they were not far from the Cairo supply base. Logistics and supplies were convenient, so we could easily capture those islands. But if we support you, the logistics route will be too long, and we will suffer huge losses!" 2 The leader said bluntly.

"This...then what conditions does your country need to send troops?"

"The conditions for sending troops are also very simple. We need to establish a supply base in your homeland."

"This...I need to go back and ask for instructions!" Marco had no right to allow other countries' troops to station in their own country, so he wanted to ask for instructions.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news!" The No. 2 leader is not in a hurry. He knows that Italy has no choice now.

Marco left with regret. After returning, he immediately reported China's request to the government. This news immediately detonated the entire government.

"No, absolutely not. How can we allow foreign countries to station troops on our land? Doesn't that mean they want to colonize us?!" a member of the parliament firmly objected.

"This is called colonization. If the United States has stationed troops on our soil for so many years, have we become a colony of the United States?" another congressman retorted.

"This is different. It's to help us prevent intrusions from others!"

"Help us? When the end of the world comes, the first ones to escape will be the US military. They are also the ones causing the most trouble in our country. What is this protection?"

"That's Americans being frank. After all, they are our friends and we should tolerate them!"

"Oh, our friend? A friend who often cheats on us?"

The two sides argued endlessly, watching the parliament become a vegetable market.

While the two sides were arguing, Thomas, the speaker of the Italian Parliament, coughed: "Ahem, can I say a few words?"

The Speaker spoke out and immediately silenced the two sides who were at war with each other. After all, sitting in the position of Speaker is definitely not a simple person. If you don't give him face now, then you will be beaten in the future.
