Chapter 483: White Waves (11)
The old butler shook his head at the white smoke that was gathering in the air, and Norentel didn't look like he knew that the situation had become urgent. The pen and the www.biquge.info reminded him a few more words, and it was not until Norentel became a little impatient that the butler stopped talking. If he had the opportunity, he really wanted to go to Xuefeng in the airship and personally command and supervise the whole process. There is no room for error, the things that have accumulated in the warehouses there are very important, and it took a long time to get them out of the base in various ways. The risk is very high, and there is a precedent for the volcano base a few years ago, and it is much more difficult to profit from it.
But the butler always remembered his superior's words, and felt that the blood that had frozen him for years was surging slightly.
"Everyone is doing it, why can't this 'everyone' be us?" I feel that at this age, I have always been a housekeeper, and I am not very good at my own strength, or funds and power, I am all in a reluctant state, and I also maintain an unclear relationship with myself.
Although he can't agree with his boss on some things, in some ways, he also admires it from the bottom of his heart, which is something he has been lacking. The position of a senior governor at such an age at the base of the volcano is not all driven by the forces behind it. He has no strength and excellence, and in an empire that does not lack assembly-line products, it may not be the turn of a "commodity figure" like him to replace the missing position.
"Don't worry, old butler, you will be the first to receive the information tomorrow afternoon. Do you think our team of people who have been cut into the base of the volcano is really the soldiers here?" Norentel inhaled a third of his cigarette, and in a performative manner he exhaled a large smoke ring, tumbling and moving slowly into the air, condensing for a long time, "We don't need to do it at all." If you don't believe us, those airships in the airfield should always be able to pin your confidence, right? Even with the firepower of the enemy's airships, they can shoot at each other. And the guess is right, they are also a modified airship, mainly used to transport a large number of people, and the firepower must have been reducedγγγ"
The butler had already walked out of where Norentel was staying, and the words behind him could not be heard. He didn't want to know, there was still a lot to deal with, the Imperial New Year was not long in coming, and there would definitely be a resupply retrain coming by then. The specific course of action has not yet been finalized, and once the supplies are in the base's warehouses and recorded by the analyzer, it will be extremely troublesome to erase any bit of data.
And it wasn't long before the Volcano Base submitted the total data for the year to the Imperial military. All the data will be analyzed and compared by a special algorithm through the military's super-analysis machine. Most of this data is interconnected, and the probability of a superanalyzer error is infinitely close to zero, which requires the people who review the materials and data to be careful. Some job analysis machines can't help them, and to satisfy the superiors, they can't find obvious loopholes, and they can only rely on high-priced analysis and processing talents hired from all over the empire.
Walking outside, the air suddenly became much fresher, and the searchlights in the distance barely illuminated a little of the ground, and in the light, the blizzard continued, and the temperature seemed to drop again. Back to the office building on the side of the base, passing by the airport, the housekeeper saw the airship being maintained by a group of people.
Under the blizzard, under the illumination of countless lights, the technician is using tools to do the final inspection and debugging of the airship that is about to rise. There were also small earthen bags-like ammunition, shells that were half as tall as adults, and rows of aerial bombs that were slowly loaded into their ammunition warehouses through the airship's own lifting device. There are two water pipelines, as one of the sources of steam power, compared with the glow pipe that carries electricity, the treatment of water volume is only a small solution from the circulation and ultra-vapor compression device.
It has been a long, long time since the butler followed his chief to the base of the volcano, all he has seen is maintenance and maintenance. He himself had not experienced war, and he did not know exactly what the difference between peacetime and wartime would be between the three huge nations.
Taking the materials back to his room, the housekeeper didn't care about resting, took out other documents again, and began to help deal with some tedious things.

The use of a sniper rifle in this terrain, and the extraordinary accuracy, was a real headache for the major and his group. I don't know exactly how to aim, even with the light of the flares, but many people on both sides have been standing at the intersection of light and darkness, and it is difficult to see the location of the virtual and the real. If it was just based on his intuition and reasoning as a sniper, the captain thought that the scope on the sniper rifle could be removed and not used.
The defeat is probably a foregone conclusion, and it is not known how soon the ammunition problem arose. When several captains relied on heavy machine gun fire and good fire skills to confront the enemy slightly, when their fingers pressed the trigger and the guns in their hands no longer vibrated slightly, this feeling of something missing in their bodies in an instant really sent chills all over their bodies. Ammunition is starting to run out of supplies, there aren't many spare ammo, and the enemy's pace of progress seems to become faster.
The Major also stood up front, using the steel-hulled bomb with precise countdowns. Complications had become simple geometry in his brain, and the enemy's failure to advance on a large scale to crush them was a major reason. However, it has not been able to get the whole team out of the current predicament. The only good news was that they had retreated on the snowy roads that had been carved out by the enemy not long ago.
The impact of snow on ordinary soldiers has been greatly reduced, and their bodies can be more flexible in switching between ancient trees. The marksmanship and personnel were finally able to initially cooperate and withstand the enemy's attack, but the trend of retreat continued. The gentle terrain had no defensive points to use, and the ancient trees could not stop it soon under the enemy's almost inexhaustible bullets.
After 10 o'clock, signs of weakness appeared on both sides. The situation was even more serious on Major Barron's side. The Great Blizzard began to descend in earnest, but it had not yet reached the peak of its own power. The wind also burrowed into the woods, but fortunately the Major and they stood on the wind, and were very little affected by the wind when attacking. Even if the enemy wears a mask, the snowflakes in the wind and the snow mist raised on the snow will hit them head-on, and it is impossible to aim and observe the surroundings without wiping the lenses at any time.
The firepower of both sides has dropped significantly at this point. On one side it is because of snow and snow fog, and on the other side it is because of ammunition.
The Major breathed a sigh of relief at this point, I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least for some time after this, the enemy's movements should not be very large. Although the incoming blizzard has caused them to suffer from the temperature and wind, it is indeed more reassuring than the enemy who is closely following.
"Prepare some chemicals and toxic gases, both in doses and concentrations. The Major took advantage of the rare time to say to the two captains, who were in the possession of biological agents, "It is possible for the enemy to take off the mask, and as a surgeon, the effect of having a mask is far greater than that of none." Also, is there something in powder form that can stick to the human body, and then infect the invading agent through the wound that has not healed? Most of the wounded among the enemy seem to have no professional doctors, and the people who were wounded by the artillery in the first place have some, some small wounds, they did not treat in time. β
