Chapter 262 Iron Fist
Area 51 is one of the refuges in the United States. The well-connected areas deep underground form a small city, which houses a total of 150,000 civilians and 50,000 soldiers.
Among the 150,000 civilians, 60,000 are elites from all walks of life, of which nearly half of the scientists account for. It can be said that District 51 is currently the most elite gathering place in American society. Except for the remaining 140,000 people, the rest are basically direct families and base staff of elites.
Galen Smith was very lucky. Due to his experience in District 51, the Galen Smith was sent here to be responsible for the specific work before the Gaian Civilized Fleet arrived on Earth. According to the booking plan, Galen Smith was just an executor. But who would have thought that the war situation changed so quickly. The Earth space fleet was forced to surrender after only a few hours of resistance after the war started. After the moon base fell into the hands of the Gaians, the Gaians' fleet quickly launched a landing attack on the earth. The big men in Washington began to evacuate in a hurry after the landing war began. It was too late. With the disappearance of the vice president, the president's convoy was destroyed by the Gaians' small spacecraft. The original highest command organization in District 51 can be said to be destroyed.
Losing a core figure, Assistant Minister of Defense Galen Smith became the supreme commander of District 51 in another place. Faced with the severe situation, Galen Smith held an emergency meeting. Several supervisors from District 51, garrison commanders and several other senators participated in the meeting.
At the meeting, Galen Smith told everyone the bad news. When everyone heard the death of the presidential convoy, everyone showed painful expressions. A female senator even covered her face and cried bitterly. As a symbol of America, the blow to people by the president's death was extremely severe. Moreover, the victims included most senior officials of the US government, and now the whereabouts of the vice president are unknown. It can be said that the core of the US government has been basically caught by the Gaians.
"Gentlemen! Ladies!" Galensmith stood up and faced the sad venue, he said in a heavy voice: "The death of Mr. President and government officials is indeed a tragedy, but please note that the war against aliens continues. The war against aliens in the United States, including all over the world, is still going on. We still have the strength and the ability to defend the earth. What I want to tell you is that this is not a sad moment, but requires everyone to unite and drive these invaders out of our homes like our ancestors..."
"Mr. Smith, we understand your point of view, but do you think we can win this war?" a senator asked suddenly.
When Galensmith turned his eyes to him, the senator moved his seat with some anxiety and continued: "According to the news just now, there are no more than 10 countries that are still resisting. France and Germany have reached their last moment, and there is a possibility of falling anytime and anywhere. I am afraid that by this time of tomorrow the entire earth's resistance will be completely destroyed by aliens..."
"Sir, we are all clear about these situations. Please explain what you want to say directly." Galensmith interrupted him in a bad tone.
The Senator paused. He smiled reluctantly, pointed his hand at his head and said, "Mr. Smith. The reality is cruel. The United States has reached its last moment. If the resistance of our army is effective, as a national of the United States, I certainly hope to see the result of victory. But gentlemen, including the ladies present, the strength gap between the two sides of this war is too great. Please be honest. In my opinion, we Earthlings cannot resist the attacks of each other at all."
Speaking of this, the Senator looked a little sad, but sincerely said: "Sometimes, the solution of war does not necessarily require the solution of force. Especially now when there is no hope of victory at all. It is said that some countries that have surrendered have not been attacked by aliens again. This situation has also freed their citizens from the threat brought by war. Instead of letting people bleed and sacrifice their lives in vain, it is better to try another way to solve the problem."
The senator did not directly say what another solution was, but everyone present knew very well that his meaning was to surrender to the Gaia civilization. Although all the current networks and satellite settings on the earth were destroyed by the Gaia people, after the landing and attack began, the Gaia civilization did not attack the countries that had already surrendered. On the contrary, the Gaia civilization also sent information about the surrendered countries to the world through their technology. When we saw that those countries that announced their surrender, except for the key departments that were taken over by the Gaia people, and the original government officials, including the head of state, were controlled by the Gaia people, the civil war was indeed quickly calmed down.
This situation also led to the continuous announcement of surrender in the following time. Without seeing the hope of victory in the war and huge casualties, more and more countries are eager to surrender in the face of life. Now, the suggestion made by the Senator is exactly this way. In his opinion, the war has been lost. Not only America, but also all countries on the entire earth have history, but also, in the absence of the leadership of the head of state and senior government officials, surrender is probably the only way out.
"Is that what you think?" Galen Smith asked, staring at the senator with an eagle-like gaze.
The senator hesitated and finally nodded, "This is of course my opinion. In fact, it is not just me. I think most of the people present think this way. For the continuation of human beings and to preserve human bloodlines, sometimes appropriate sacrifices are also made..."
Before the senator could finish his words, Galen Smith reached out with a blank expression and took out a gun from behind his waist, and pulled the trigger in an instant with a look of horror.
A gunshot, the shocked expression of the Senator who was still talking a second ago instantly frozen on his face, and a deep blood hole appeared on his forehead, and the back of his head was directly lifted away by a powerful bullet. The white brain and half of the skull flew out, and then he shook his whole body and fell straight into the chair.
This scene happened so suddenly. When everyone realized that the senator had become a corpse. The female senator who was still crying just now suddenly let out a harsh scream, but the scream soon stopped again, because when she saw Galen Smith sweeping towards her with a grey and ruthless gaze, the fear in her heart made her stop as if her throat was pinched.
"The term surrender has never been the first in the history of America. I hope you all remember that this is a war of life and death between mankind and a war that will absolutely destiny for us! Now I announce that District 51 will resist to the end, for mankind, for America, and for our future!"
"I agree with Mr. Smith. Under the current circumstances, we humans must resist to the end. The aliens' attempts are clear. Don't be deceived by their lies. Once we put down our weapons, we will lose the ability to defend ourselves. The other party will definitely exterminate us humans." Another senator stood up excitedly, waved his fists and expressed his views. He looked like a warring faction than Galen Smith.
No one present was fool. He scolded this guy for being too good at performing, and he seized the opportunity to show his loyalty so well. At the same time, he suddenly woke up, scrambling his chest and saying that he would continue to resist with Galen Smith.
When he saw that no one had any objections, Galen Smith's expression finally calmed down slightly. He then proposed to establish an American Emergency Committee as the highest temporary command body in the United States. Galen Smith, who currently has the highest government status, is of course the chairman of the committee, and the members of the committee will be held separately. This proposal was unanimously agreed on the spot. In less than half an hour, the emergency committee was officially established to replace the already defunct US government to receive the highest rights of the United States. (To be continued...)
