Chapter 1,424 Sent to Pick up Trash

Sean originally planned to sink into the Pacific Ocean with the Obama, but at the moment when the cargo ship was thrown to the aircraft carrier deck by a roaring typhoon, he finally became timid.

After all, people are afraid of death.

What's more, if you ask yourself, regarding the dream of reviving America in his heart, his desire for power is still slightly greater than pure faith.

With the desperate rescue of the Presidential Guard, Sean evacuated to the bottom of the cabin without any danger. Before the Obama sank, he got into the escape submersible and evacuated with several members of Congress from the same party. This silent ship.

Huddled in the submersible, he carefully considered his future direction.

We definitely can’t go to Panama. The USN fleet was destroyed by weather weapons, and NAC’s next stop must be the concentration camp in Panama.

Originally, he planned to go to Boston, the "Revolutionary Holy Land of the Thirteen Colonial States" on the east coast, to gather like-minded allies there and look for opportunities to make a comeback. However, before their submersible had sailed dozens of nautical miles, they were inspected by the White Whale. The station's submarine was intercepted halfway.

There is nothing to say about what happened next.

Not long after, he and the prisoners who were also picked up were sent here by the cargo ship of the Beluga Research Station.

Looking at the man in his early twenties with a pale face, Sean, who was standing among a group of prisoners of war, felt a chill down his back.

Although it was his first time to see the legendary NAC Marshal, he had already heard about the legends about this Marshal. Until two days ago, he still held a dismissive attitude towards these rumors, thinking that the so-called marshal was just the native who wore a crown like a monkey.

As for now...

His meager self-confidence had long since sunk into the trench under the Pacific Ocean with the sinking of the Obama.

When Sean looked at Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen was also looking at him with interest.

After retrieving the image records stored in Zhou Guoping's backbrain chip, he had already seen the legendary American president on the command headquarters' computer. If there is any difference between the real person and the one in the holographic image, I am afraid that there is no trace of high spirits and arrogance in the evasive eyes, and what is left is only some emotions such as fear and uneasiness.

"Mr President?"

After swallowing, Sean tried his best to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying from his tense face, and said solemnly, "I don't dare, I don't dare..."

"I heard that you plan to hang me on the mast of the Obama?" Jiang Chen joked in a joking tone as he looked at the frightened Sean.

He heard this sentence from Zhou Guoping in a speech to voters.

The president seemed to have said a lot of similar rhetoric, but Jiang Chen just picked a sentence and repeated it. Unexpectedly, the president was frightened to the point of death, and he didn't even dare to say any of them.

"Those..." After swallowing hard, Sean said with a trembling apology, "Those are all misinformation, there is absolutely no such thing... Your subordinates must have heard wrong."

Jiang Chen glanced at him with a half-smile, and finally looked at the captain of the white whale and pointed at the group of slaves.

"These people, please give me a price."

Seeing the NAC marshal personally discussing business with him, the captain did not dare to quote the previous price of fifty credit points. After hesitating for a moment, he picked a middle number and said cautiously, "Thirty credits per person."

Thirty credits, a little higher than expected, but not much higher.

"Two hundred and seventy people, eight thousand one hundred points," Jiang Chen nodded and looked at the port attendant next to him, "I'll pay him the money later. Let's find some random containers to place these slaves in. Panama It should be almost over over there, and when Li Wang takes our colonists home, we will send them there."

After saying these words, Jiang Chen no longer bothered to care about the ashen expressions on the faces of these Americans, and turned around and left the port.

What awaits them,

It will be endless work and rest.

Until their death, they will labor under the supervision of those they once oppressed.

…

After the USN troubles were resolved, Jiang Chen spent a rare calm weekend in North America.

After order was restored, Outpost Town was like a magnet among the ruins. An endless stream of caravans quickly gathered here again. When they saw the familiar flag and the familiar merchandise in the warehouse, all transactions were carried out as before, as if nothing had happened.

During this leisurely week, Jiang Chen took the time to visit Liberty City and Steel City respectively at the invitation of the two leaders, Paul Revere and Brian Eddy, and was warmly welcomed by both parties.

Perhaps because the two sides have reached an agreement on the "climate issue," the attitudes of these two local West Coast survivor forces towards Outpost Town and NAC are not as rigid as they were initially. In addition to trade, the two sides have also reached cooperation on issues such as eradicating predators and clearing out mutant tribes.

As for the specific details of these cooperation, Jiang Chen left them to Zhou Guoping. After all, he was the governor of the colony, and he would return to Wanghai City in a few days.

At noon on the eighth day, the figure of the Order emerged on the horizon off the west coast.

Two cargo ships followed the steel airship at a distance, and the colonists stood on the deck, either cheering or bursting into tears of excitement toward the west coast. During this month, they suffered a lot of humiliation. Many people died in Central America, and less than half of them came back alive.

The suffering of more than a month has finally passed.

At the colonial port, Jiang Chen saw the victorious Li Wang.

First, he praised the soldiers for their glorious victory in Panama, and then Jiang Chen stood on the elevator at the port and delivered a touching speech of condolences to the colonists who had returned home.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen entrusted the resettlement work of these poor people to Zhou Guoping, and then returned to the colonial headquarters with Li Wang and others.

As for things like triumphal ceremonies and investiture ceremonies, it is customary for them to be held in the square in the Sixth Block.

"...In addition to our people, there are about 20,000 South American survivors. We received their help when we attacked the USN Panama base. I would like to ask your opinion on how to deal with them?" Li Wang He looked at Jiang Chen and asked.

"The base in Panama can be retained," Jiang Chen looked at the world map hanging on the wall. "It is also very important to us. It is the gateway from the west coast of North America to the east coast."

"Our next target is the east coast?" Li Wang asked.

"Let's talk about it, finish the food in the bowl first." Jiang Chen smiled, "The west coast hasn't digested it yet, so I hurried to the east coast to join in the fun, so as not to get into trouble again. , I have to run to the rescue again."

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen looked at the world map and said something casually as if unintentionally.

"When I return, I plan to promote the reform of the Army."

"Is this the opinion of Staff Officer Han?" Li Wang asked tentatively.

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded.

With the expansion of territory and increase in population base, the NAC military government's standing force now exceeds 100,000. The NAC's current army organization is no longer suitable for its current huge size, and reform is imperative.

In fact, as early as the end of last year, Han Junhua suggested this matter to Jiang Chen, and even wrote a reform plan, but it was never implemented due to various reasons.

Looking back at the sea this time, the reforms that have been delayed for so long should finally come to fruition...
