Chapter 1233 The Enemy Disappeared
The entire foggy city was almost completely shrouded in artillery fire. The bombardment lasted for a long time, which directly shattered the argument of the corrupt people that Zeng Wangcai was short of ammunition.
Countless British people abandoned their cars and ran out of the city on foot, and then they found themselves safe.
The cycle began, and just like last time, those who could run to other cities escaped, while those without cars could only camp in the wild.
But this time, they were unprepared and fled in a hurry. Clothes and other things were easy to deal with, as the weather was neither hot nor cold, but food and water were difficult to come by.
Johnson and Laura escaped from the foggy city in a thrilling way. Johnson's goal was to go southwest to Birmingham because Sister Mei was there.
"Boss, I suggest you rethink your decision," said Laura, clinging to the front seat of the Land Rover. "If the war breaks out again and they destroy the Fog City, public opinion will immediately embarrass the authorities. The opposition party will not miss this opportunity. They will definitely let Mason come forward to gain reputation and impeach Sister Mei."
This is a reminder to Johnsen to take sides in advance.
But in the bombardment just now, the BBC's headquarters building collapsed. Johnson was heartbroken. Emotionally, he didn't want to stand on Mason's side because Johnson began to suspect that Mason had something to do with Zeng Wangcai.
After a minute of silence, Johnsen said, "As long as we control the direction of propaganda, the reputation of the authorities will not drop too much."
"Boss, you are too naive. Look outside."
Before we knew it, the Land Rover had driven into the traffic again.
It's just that the crisis has been temporarily resolved now, and the cars in the traffic are not so urgent. In addition, a large number of people have given up their cars, resulting in no congestion on the roads.
Next to the traffic is the flow of people, with countless hikers making phone calls.
"The signal has been restored?" Johnsen's face darkened. "It seems that we can't stop it. So many people are calling... You are right. I need to re-evaluate the direction."
When a person makes a phone call, he is most likely asking for help, but at the same time he will also tell the person asking for help about his or her current suffering and experiences.
This kind of communication is fission, and in a few minutes the entire country of Britain will know that the Fog City has turned into a Wasteland.
Johnson is a wealthy businessman and the TV station is just his property. The bombing of the headquarters building made him lose his composure. After Laura's reminder, he has now come to his senses.
"Boss, can I try to contact Mason again now?" Laura asked tentatively.
"Well, sure, let's see what he says." Johnson nodded.
Laura was relieved, for she was afraid that Johnson would insist on having his own way.
This call went smoothly, with no signal interference. Mason answered the call quickly. Laura could hear that the environment on the other end of the phone was very noisy: "Mr. Mason..."
"Miss Laura, are you okay?" Mason said loudly on the phone, "I heard that Fog City was bombarded just now. Are you in Fog City?"
"Thanks to Mr. Mason's concern, we are safe for now."
"Then the situation in the Fog City is the same as what is being spread now, has it become a wasteland?"
"I'm afraid so sir. The bombardment lasted for a long time and our headquarters building was destroyed."
"Oh my god, this is a disaster, you should have called me."
Mason's implication was, I can keep your building.
This undoubtedly confirmed Johnsen's guess---Mason was indeed in contact with the enemy!
"Boss, Mr. Mason is in Reading now, where are we going?"
Go to Reading, stand with Mason, go to Birmingham, stand with Sister Mei.
"Go to Reading and tell Mason I want to talk to him in person..."
......
Birmingham.
Mei was on the phone with Brute, who was very angry: "Why did you choose to leave? You should have stepped up. Now our government has become a joke. As the president, I order you to stop immediately."
"Sir, we all know that whether we leave or not, the result will be the same. The fog can't protect us." Brute calmly defended himself, "Our initial decision was wrong. We underestimated the enemy's strength. I think we need enough troops to defeat them..."
"I'll give you soldiers!" Sister Mei roared, "30,000 troops have already set out and will join you today. In addition, I have already communicated with the Gauls. Their 30,000 land army reinforcements will immediately rush to the Fog City, so you must stop immediately and fight back. You must make the enemy pay the price."
Sister Mei risked her life. With an army of 60,000 men, plus the more than 10,000 men Brute had, they formed an army of nearly 80,000 men.
Although his strength might not be enough, he ordered Brute to keep the enemy in the foggy city at all costs this time to buy time for the subsequent reinforcements to arrive.
There is no reason why Sister Mei cannot see the problems that Johnson and others can see clearly.
So Sister Mei knew that this might be the only chance to turn the tables, and she had to defeat the enemy at all costs. Note, it was to defeat. Sister Mei didn't dare to think about the word "eliminate" at this moment.
Brute's troops had already run dozens of kilometers at this time. After receiving Sister Mei's order, he had to stop and set up camp on the spot.
The morale of the troops was not very good, but Brute could not care less. He was now eager to know the situation of the enemy forces in the Fog City.
"Go call Hayes!" Brute remembered an elite force under his command, and Hayes was the leader of the elite force.
A few minutes later Hayes was next to Brute.
"I need you to return to Fog City!" Brute said to his beloved general, "From the current situation, the enemy is still concerned about civilians, otherwise they would not give us three hours. Now Fog City has lost its value, and the enemy should not occupy Fog City. You disguise yourself as civilians and return to Fog City, and then provide us with information."
"General, we can return to the fog, but our communications..."
"I think they have achieved their tactical goal. The information blockade in Fog City has definitely been lifted."
"Well General..."
When returning to the Fog City disguised as civilians, naturally the number of people cannot be too large.
The road of dozens of kilometers is very long, so Hayes' team of more than a dozen people took a car back for a while and then chose to hike.
Coincidentally, a considerable number of civilians who were not afraid of death were also returning to the Fog City.
The bombardment had been going on for several hours and these civilians could not get any relief outside, so some of them thought the same as Brute and felt that the enemy would not occupy the Fog City.
Well, the ruins...are also a treasure trove.
There are ownerless supplies everywhere, and there are banks that you can enter at will. You can always find food and drinks, and cash and gold are not a luxury.
Hayes and his group carefully returned to the abandoned city with these brave and stubborn people.
The city that was once a paradise is now a disgrace.
Hayes tested the signal first, and after confirming that there was a signal, he led the team to search to the north.
After two hours of searching and reconnaissance operations, Hayes was shocked...the enemy was gone.
