Chapter 174: cinema
"The flames of war continue to ravage Europe, but the rescuers have already set off from the United States! Every sturdy young man is ready to go to protect his country!"
An impassioned voice came from the speakers next to the big screen, and the picture became the process of soldiers joining the army.
Steve returned to New York and returned to Brooklyn. The depression in his heart made it hard for him to breathe. He walked into a movie theater and wanted to relax. A new zombie film made by Wilson Enterprise was being shown here.
He still remembers that this was a term he and Bucky proposed together when he was a child, and Mr. Wilson put it on the big screen.
The meat-eating zombies are exactly the same as the people he saw in the subway station when he was a child, but they were a bit more dirty.
The film perfectly reproduces the fear they felt back then. It stands to reason that a heart patient like him shouldn't watch this kind of movie, but in order to miss his childhood, he still bought a ticket to come in.
In the cinema, apart from women, most of them are elderly people. There are not many mature men. They are all on the battlefield.
Now society is in a wartime economic system, and watching movies is one of the cheaper entertainment.
Therefore, there are a lot of people in the theater during the day, but this year, it is stipulated that at the beginning, middle and end of the movie, it is necessary to insert the advertisement of conscription to promote the American conscription policy and expand people's patriotic passion.
So in the last second, the beautiful heroine and the zombie dog met in a narrow path in the corridor, and the picture in the next second turned into a picture of American soldiers entering the barracks.
There was a frustrating snort all around.
I was seeing a critical moment. There was a conscription advertisement. The atmosphere was gone. The audience sighed secretly. I picked all my necklaces. Show me this?
It was Steve, looking at the soldiers longingly. He envied them that they could join the army and that they could contribute to the country.
He stared at the screen with bright eyes, imagining that he was walking in the line.
However, the picture on the screen changed. He became a little boy about six or seven years old. He was wearing a boy scout boat cap and was picking scrap steel from a pile of garbage. These steels could be re-smelted and turned into weapons or chariots. .
The impassioned narration sounded again, praising the little boy on the screen: "Even Timmy is working for the country, collecting scrap metal. Good job, Timmy!"
Steve instantly felt countless eyes falling on him, and the women around him secretly looked at him from the corner of their eyes, as if they were saying something.
"Why are you watching a movie here?"
"Go to the battlefield, man! Gee!"
"Why don't you learn from Timmy and pick up rubbish? Oh, maybe you are just rubbish!"
"Shame, hush!"
But these gazes quickly moved away, because the women finally saw in the dark that this man was thinner than themselves, and his face was pale like a skeleton. He might not live long. They really couldn't ask a patient to die.
Their eyes turned to sympathy and apology. Although the thoughts were the same, the meaning was the same-‘you are so pitiful. ’
Steve shrugged slightly. Over the years, he has become accustomed to the look in his eyes. The kind people around him always take care of him in life. When shopping for vegetables, even the most caressing vegetable shop aunt will give him more. Instructed him to go to the doctor earlier, some diseases can not be delayed, etc.
Because of the existence of these good people, Steve couldn't let the flames of war burn to their heads. He wanted to join the army even more to stop the war.
Some thoughts flashed in his mind, but they were all castles in the air. He smiled bitterly, and refocused his eyes on the "Iron Wall" tank on the screen.
This is also the work of Wilson Enterprise, but this huge steel monster does not look like the American industrial style at all. Two huge ferocious barrels, flat hull and thick armor are more like the product of a country across the Pacific. .
He remembered that this tank was talked about when Mr. Wilson chatted with them. The internal development code was ‘Apocalypse’, but he didn’t know why the previous name was not used after the installation.
Maybe I want to form a series with other military products, Steve thought.
However, this is not actually the reason. This tank actually only has the appearance of the Apocalypse tank. In its bones, it is actually the M3'Grant' with a new shell. It is replaced by a larger caliber artillery with a twin turret and a thicker one. Armored with a few more engines.
is like a toy put together. Except for defense, it is not at all levels. It is slow to load like a self-propelled artillery, and it travels as slow as a tortoise. The experts in the military factory have tried their best to make this thing move.
At the beginning, all the bricks were above the top. Su Ming drew the appearance of T34 and IS for their reference. They didn’t think they liked it. Su Ming directly drew the appearance of Apocalypse. They vowed that they could definitely make it. fierce.
During the internal acceptance, Su Ming wanted to kill these wastes. After giving them so much research and development funds, he came up with a self-propelled artillery and T95 turret combination?
But he still endured it after thinking about it. After all, the money was spent, and the turret was justice. Let's make do with it.
If this kind of rottenness is still called the Apocalypse tank, it is purely a waste of reputation. After Su Ming sent these ‘experts’ to study walking tractors, he simply renamed the metal monster the Iron Wall Assault Cannon, focusing on the only advantage of defense.
is very vivid, this ghost thing is just a moving iron block, but it is also an iron block whose front armor is thick enough and has a large inclination, and now it cannot penetrate its front armor regardless of any anti-armor firepower of the enemy or ourselves.
Su Ming sent a lot of lobbyists. In the end, the military might be in the face of the face, or purchased a batch of them, which were used as infantry support weapons. At least other anti-tank guns had to be towed, but the iron wall assault gun itself could move?
On the contrary, the rifles, pistols, grenades and other individual weapons produced by Wilson’s company have passed the test smoothly. After all, Su Ming can draw complete drawings, and every part is exactly the same as the future classics, and only workers can make them. .
The United States had a very small number of troops before participating in the war, only about 8 regular divisions, plus 14 National Guard divisions, about less than 600,000 people. After participating in the war, it rapidly expanded to 2 million, and it will be as high as 4 million in the future. These people all need standard weapons.
Wilson Enterprise has accumulated enough weapons over the years. It can be said that it has been preparing since 29. It was originally intended to support the celestial dynasty, but now there are more.
While other military industry companies are still promising to the military their own production capacity, how many guns per month, Wilson's company directly crushed them with the advantage of millions of in stock.
At the beginning, the United Kingdom was quite resistant to the replacement of American weapons by the troops, because their ammunition caliber was different from that of each country, and the use of foreign weapons was tantamount to giving up its own military industry.
But they had no choice after the Dunkirk retreat. For the sake of the load of the ship, the 330,000 people who withdrew basically lost their light and heavy weapons.
It takes about half a month to replenish domestic production weapons, and lack of steel and coal, production capacity cannot keep up, policy is leaning toward the navy, and resources are prioritized for large-scale construction, which means that there is almost no defense for more than half a month.
The British organized a local army. Many old gentlemen took out weapons handed down in their homes. Their average age was over fifty. They used swords, sabers, bows and arrows to guard their homes. force'.
So the problem is, either let the soldiers use cold weapons from the War of the Roses hundreds of years ago, or immediately switch to weapons sold by the Americans. Wilson Enterprise also supports installment payments and physical mortgages.
Although these weapons are not familiar at all, and the follow-up is a lot of trouble, but there is no alternative. If you don’t want to go to other countries to form a government in exile like the French, then you must accept the ‘help’ of the Americans.
During the war, what is used, what is the problem of dressing, training, and what chain reaction is caused are all things considered by politicians. Soldiers have to fight hard against others on the battlefield. Weapons are the most important thing. .
This is not a normal conscription for later generations. Now the British always catch someone on the road, tell him that the queen needs you, and then put any weapon in his hand and he can go to the battlefield. In short, you won't lose if you kill one*, you will make a profit if you kill two. The British have already lost the red eye.
After a while, the bear side will become similar. Training and organization are unnecessary things. Anyway, there are committee members and supervising teams in the army, and the soldiers only need to call Ula.
Let alone the French guerrillas, now it is De Gaulle who begs others to credit him with weapons, and only Su Ming ‘kindly’ give him some even.
The current Britain lacks weapons, energy, food, and everything.
Even Prime Minister Qiu Fatty can only eat one sandwich a day, relying on cigars and absinthe to fill his hunger, and can't sleep with hunger every night. He claims to work 23 and a half hours a day.
However, Steve didn’t know these behind-the-scenes tidbits. He still looked at the huge tank enviously. From the point of view of his military novice, the larger the war weapon, the more powerful it is, and the iron wall self-propelled anti-tank gun is indeed very At this time, there were 20 or 30 soldiers sitting on the screen, dozing off as the chariot advanced.
I don’t know where a farmer popped up on the side of the road. He flashed past them on the screen and drove a donkey cart to overtake them.
Steve's brows frowned, this donkey cart ran so fast, I really didn't pay attention to traffic safety...
But the soldiers on the tank didn't even open their eyes, they were used to it. Steve was very happy. This shows that the US military has strict military discipline and has done nothing against ordinary people. Didn't you see that the tank was making way for the donkey cart?
These soldiers are still holding a new carbonated drink, orange juice flavor, which is said to be more nutritious, called bigpower.
Mr. Wilson likes to call it "Dali" in Chinese, and he always says strange things such as vigorously producing miracles. It is also a new product of the enterprise, which is distributed as a front line together with compressed biscuits as munitions.
Steve used to eat a compressed biscuit according to the standard way of eating as drawn on the army ration package, and then poured a bottle of vigorously. After a while, his stomach bloated to the point of vomiting, causing Bucky to laugh.
Although Wilson’s business has grown bigger and bigger, and his relationship with the military is now even more miraculous, he never thought of going to the battlefield through Mr. Wilson’s relationship.
Even unfamiliar doctors prevented him from joining the army, let alone Mr. Wilson, who was familiar with his physical condition. According to his character, if he told him that he must join the army, he was likely to be very generous to ask acquaintances and stuff himself. Go to the General Logistics Department or some other office in Washington, where there is a lot of oil and water but you can't use a gun for a lifetime.
He doesn't want that. If he can't go to the battlefield~www.NovelMTL.com~ to defend our country, then joining the army is meaningless.
Just as he was thinking about these things, a discordant scene appeared in the cinema.
There was a man yelling a few rows in front of him.
"boring! Play the movie soon!"
The people around him expressed dissatisfaction with him, but they only looked at him with contempt, because it is very impolite to speak loudly in the cinema.
But Steve doesn't think so. In his opinion, it is an honor to contribute to the country. Now they can watch movies here because the soldiers on the front line won with their lives.
So he immediately stopped.
"Hey, can you show respect?"
The people in front did not respond to him, and the picture changed from tanks to infantry. Some wounded soldiers were carried on stretchers to the simple hospital.
"Our young man is on the front line to give some color to the Axis, but freedom is never without a price..."
But the voice of the narration was loudly covered by the audience in the front row. He was here to see the zombies. What commercials did the ghosts watch? They all lied to death.
"Hurry up! Keep playing the movie!" The man yelled unscrupulously, attracting people around him to look at him: "I want to watch Alice fight the zombie! Hurry up and play the feature film!"
Steve couldn't bear this kind of attitude anymore, he leaned forward, also amplifying his own volume.
"Hey! Can I say you can shut up?!"
The people in the front row shut up, not only that, but he stood up and turned to look at Steve.
A huge black shadow completely blocked him, and the shadow made Steve cling to the back of the seat.
The man stepped directly over a few seats, grabbed Steve like a chicken, and led him to the back door of the cinema.
