Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

After all, suddenly encountering a major earthquake is already enough to make people collapse, but then encountering such a strange supernatural phenomenon...

No matter how pure a materialist is, I'm afraid I have to whisper in my heart.

Not to mention that in Los Angeles, a place with diverse beliefs, most ordinary people are more or less superstitious.

And in the darkness in the distance, there were gunshots and screams from time to time, creating an increasingly terrifying atmosphere of trembling, making people even more frightened.

"...This house was so shaken that it almost turned into the Leaning Tower of Pisa, how can we live there? If there is another aftershock, wouldn't we be buried alive?"

Akiyama Hui shook his head and sighed, "...fortunately, this house doesn't seem to be patronized by thieves or thieves for the time being. Let's go up and pack our luggage, and then move out as soon as possible! Now those thugs are still busy robbing stores, wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow , might come here."

"...Do you really want to give up this house?" Looking at the property under her own name, the landlady, Miss Dolores, was obviously a bit reluctant.

"...And, where should we move? We can't be homeless, right?" The Russian girl Sonia also asked with a frown.

"...The apartment has become a dangerous building, and the underground spiritual veins here no longer exist. What else can we do besides moving?"

Akiyama Hui curled his lips, "...Moses once led the Jews out of Egypt, Jesus also led his disciples to travel around, and the Prophet also lived in exile. How can you bother to move? As for where we will move next ...

Hey, the herdsmen live by the water and grass, and the gods live by the spiritual energy!Where is the new spirit vein, we will go there!

Please believe in our gods, the gods will guide our way forward! "She looked up at the night sky and said with a frown.

At this time, above the dark and deep night, the gorgeous aurora that should not appear in Los Angeles is gradually becoming sparse and dim.

And the singing of "Ode to the Old Ones", which lingered over Los Angeles for several hours, is also gradually declining and disappearing.

Akiyama Hui knew very well that this meant that the aura eruption caused by the earthquake had temporarily come to an end, and the aura would decline next.

——Reiki recovery is not a process of always rising in a straight line, but like tides and stock prices, there are ups and downs.

Therefore, the aura concentration in this land will enter a trough after a brief peak caused by the earthquake.

Many high-level spells that can be used tonight will probably return to the frozen and blocked state that cannot be used after dawn.

In fact, at this very moment, she could no longer use teleportation.

Hey, I feel really bad.

Do you want to take advantage of this last aura peak period and do something meaningful to commemorate it?

Akiyama Megumi thought for a while, then pinched a formula, and then sang aloud:

"...a distorted galaxy, a clouded earth.

Time flies, the day of the gods guided by the stars.

Yay, yay, the bliss called ignorance has come to an end.

We are those who serve the gods.

We are the ones who sing the praises of the gods.

The time for the stars has come!

The old rulers descend majestically! "

The next moment, her long and clear singing echoed in the night sky of Los Angeles, like the grandest solo concert...

The next morning, under the scorching sun, downtown Los Angeles was still filled with dust and smog.

On the desolate and broken streets, there is a mess everywhere, and the wreckage of burnt and crashed vehicles can be seen everywhere. On both sides of the street, houses collapsed everywhere, street lights and street trees were broken, and bloody corpses were scattered among the ruined walls blackened by the fire. It was really a dilapidated scene like the end of the world.

To make matters worse, right among the piles of rubble, sporadic gunshots still sounded from time to time, and people everywhere were killing, burning, looting, carrying bags of trophies, and even tied-up young girls, laughing wildly towards the pickup truck. Car or tricycle.

Although Los Angeles is a world-famous prosperous city, it is also a crime capital with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, a high crime rate, and the public security police are exhausted.

So, for law-abiding citizens, chaos is hell.But for the gangsters and the homeless, chaos is paradise.

The chaos in the city caused by the earthquake has completely released the dark side that has been suppressed for a long time in the hearts of the poor at the bottom.

Thus, as the daily order of the city was suddenly disrupted, the whole of Los Angeles began a carnival of lumpen proletarians.

But while the thugs are rampant, there are also middle-class citizens who are standing up to resist, holding guns to protect their remaining property and family members. Just go straight to the gun shop immediately and arm yourself.

As a result, I bought out the "Christmas Family Bucket" in the blink of an eye. Of course, this bucket is not a fried chicken bucket, but a red and white ammunition bucket. The master's stinky marksmanship is enough to knock down a street and kill all chickens and dogs.

Well, if you put it in the rear compartment for a noisy Christmas Eve zero-yuan shopping, it is also a very good choice.

So, thieves from various "violent neighborhoods" had guns, and so did middle-class citizens of the city, with plenty of ammunition.

Even the security guards of major companies and official institutions are equipped with guns.

What are you waiting for?You have a gun, I have a gun, let's shoot together!

By the way, there are also fires and aftershocks to increase the complexity of the environment and increase the difficulty of the battle, allowing you to truly experience the thrill of fighting!

As for the police?Except for those unlucky ones who contracted the plague and fell ill or died of illness, the rest of the police had already retreated to the few wealthy areas.

As a result, the live-action version of "PUBG Mobile" was staged in downtown Los Angeles in an instant. It lasted from late at night to dawn, and it was not over yet.

Chapter 81: Lie Flat!Bureaucrats!

The current de facto manager of the City of Angels, Ms. Freya, the assistant to the mayor of Los Angeles with a haggard look, is sitting in a resplendent and luxurious office, facing the large LCD screen hanging on the wall, through the camera lens of the drone , Watching the tragedy in the city after the earthquake in Los Angeles.

Collapsed houses + smoky fire + gun battles everywhere + dead bodies everywhere.

——In the earthquake last night, the building of the Los Angeles City Government also unfortunately collapsed.

But this is not difficult. As long as Ms. Freya makes a phone call, there will be "passionate and patriotic" rich people who are willing to lend their luxurious mansion on Malibu Beach to temporarily serve as the office of the city government.

Anyway, the real estate under the names of these billionaires has long been so much that I can't remember it, and it is completely painless to use it as a favor.

Just like those luxury mansions bought by Russian oligarchs and rich Arabs in the urban area of ​​London, England, they are often left unoccupied for years, or even left unoccupied until they are leaking, moldy and grassy, ​​or they are simply occupied by thieves and Homeless people, homeowners thousands of kilometers away, still don't know anything.

So, after Ms. Freya moved here, she found that the billionaire's mansion not only has a swimming pool, sauna room and private helipad, but also has meeting rooms and offices that are far more luxurious than the city government. And communication equipment is also more advanced than the stuff of the city government.

However, the luxurious and advanced location did not allow Ms. Freya's administrative team, which was short of more than 80% of staff due to the earthquake, to suddenly burst into 200% of its working capacity.

——As a matter of fact, the current Ms. Freya can hardly do anything.

We can only rely on the temporarily released drones and the remaining surveillance cameras that are still working, and follow the media reporters who are desperately grabbing news to observe the current situation of the urban area.

Then, as expected, she saw on the large LCD screen that downtown Los Angeles had turned into a scene of purgatory comparable to Kabul and Baghdad.

"... Ruins, fires, gun battles... Is this Raccoon City in Resident Evil? It seems to be short of zombies!

Uh, no, there are zombies in Los Angeles, but these zombies are too weak to see the sun, and they all fall down after dawn. "

While rubbing her forehead, Ms. Freya asked her newly appointed interim secretary, "...when will the California National Guard enter Los Angeles to perform disaster relief and riot suppression missions?

And what about the attitude of the White House?Can the navy and marines be sent over? "

——Although Los Angeles is not a military port, not far from Los Angeles is the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet in San Diego, where four nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and a large number of other ships are moored all year round, and a powerful marine corps is stationed there.

In the early days of the "Corona" outbreak, the hospital ship sent by the U.S. Navy to Los Angeles to help set off from San Diego.

Although due to bureaucracy and all kinds of fuss, the hospital ship basically confiscated the patients and went back, but it was a good intention, right?

Now that Los Angeles has been hit by a major earthquake, people are devastated, and the whole city is in chaos. Ms. Freya naturally hopes that the Navy can lend a helping hand to her.

"...I'm sorry, ma'am. The National Guard near Los Angeles has not received any dispatch orders at this time.

Moreover, according to several commanders we have just contacted, they are also in poor condition now. A considerable number of soldiers on vacation have not returned to the army. There was a wildfire, and there was a communication interruption..."

Freya's temporary private secretary, a young Asian female OL, held a tablet and answered nervously.

——Christina, the transgender black secretary of the homosexual family who served Freya, known as the "black eunuch", unfortunately died suddenly in the earthquake last night.

The secretary for Freya now is a young Asian girl surnamed Li who graduated from Stanford University.

Last night, she happened to stay in the city government on night shift, and was lucky enough not to be buried in the ruins of the collapsed building, so she was promoted by Freya:

Right now is a time of disaster, so I don't care about political correctness for the time being, let's find a smarter Asian!

It's a pity that this girl surnamed Li, although she is very neatly dressed, actually doesn't seem to be as shrewd as she looks.

She doesn't seem to have adapted to this new job well, and she stumbles a bit from speaking to doing things.

In this regard, Ms. Freya can only pinch her nose to recognize: Today, Los Angeles is cut off from water, electricity and internet everywhere, and there is no mobile phone signal. A considerable number of people in the government are still out of contact. She wants to put together a government team immediately It's also very difficult to come, and you can only use it first if you catch anyone.

"...over there at the White House...the president just gave a speech saying he tweeted last night to get FEMA ready to coordinate disaster relief until Governor Newsom declares a state of emergency in California state, the federal forces will be mobilized for rescue.

But so far, California has not declared a state of emergency even though the quake has been more than twelve hours old, so there is nothing the White House can do.Then the president yelled at CNN for the fake news as usual, saying that the Democrats in California were clearly negligent of their duties, but the media insisted on blaming him for ineffective disaster relief. There is no moral bottom line and so on..."Asian The little secretary reported in this way.

"...What? Los Angeles looks like this, and California has not yet entered a state of emergency? What did the governor say?"

Freya couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words—Los Angeles already looked like this, so why should the governor turn a blind eye?

That's not how you whitewash the peace!Today's Los Angeles is the focus of global news!

"...after the president's speech, the governor's office also tweeted that the damage caused by the earthquake was limited to the territory of Los Angeles, so the mayor of Los Angeles was required to sign a state of emergency first, calling on the governor to declare a state of emergency at the state level .

Then Governor Newsom can accept the mayor's call, declare a state of emergency in California, mobilize the National Guard to enter Los Angeles for disaster relief, and ask the White House for help as appropriate.

If the mayor of Los Angeles does not issue a statement, then the governor will not be able to advance the rescue work independently...Governor Newsom is waiting for the mayor's statement! "

The Asian secretary clicked a few times on her tablet, looked at the Twitter account of the California Governor's Office and said.

Ms. Freya was stunned: "...God! The mayor hasn't signed the emergency declaration yet?"

PS: I recently took the time to read Huntington's theory of the clash of civilizations, and I was surprised to find that the Yankees actually expelled Greece from the Western camp.

The West in the context of the United States only includes Catholic and Protestant countries in Europe, and Greece is not considered a Western society because it is an Orthodox country.

Hey, American and English speakers must call it Greece and Rome, so why are they so disdainful of Greece in reality?

Compared with the ancestors of East Asian civilization, the ancient Greek philosophers and sages will definitely be lifted out, but when they return to the real world, will Greece be kicked out again?

Chapter 82: Lie Flat!Bureaucrats!

Unlike those countries that have achieved a high degree of centralization, the United States has been a loose military system since its founding, and there is no single chain of command from the central to the local.Every level of government, from county to state to federal, is individually elected...

The result is that the whole country is loose, the president can't control the governor, and the governor can't control the mayor.

Because the governor is not appointed by the president, the mayor is not appointed by the governor.

From a legal point of view, they all only need to be responsible to their own voters, not to their superiors.

Therefore, every county and city in the United States has strong independence, which is similar to a small autonomous republic in a sense.

Each state has its own "state soldiers" (National Guard), which are exactly the same as feudal princes.

The federal government in Washington was initially only a coordinating agency.

Of course, the power of the US federal government is also constantly changing in the midst of fierce competition and is affected by the international climate.

Eighty years ago, the great President Roosevelt, with the help of the shock of the Great Depression and the east wind of the Second World War, expanded the power of the federal government to the pinnacle level. At one time, he almost realized the centralization of power, and made this loose country Condensed into one.

But after the death of the wheelchair great, bureaucrats in Washington began paddling and fishing, and the power of successive presidents dwindled.

By the end of the Cold War, although the federal government in Washington was still imposing externally, it was basically paralyzed internally.

Therefore, once the United States encounters disaster relief, even if there is no human interference, then the local governments at the county and city levels must first ask for help, and then the state government responds to local appeals and asks for help from the central government. Finally, the White House is authorized to dispatch troops and Other personnel entered the disaster area for disaster relief.

In short, the governor can only rescue the county and city first; the governor can ask for help before the federal government can rescue, not the other way around.

If you don’t go through such a process, the central government will send troops to send people down before the local government asks for help, then it will be a “violation of state rights”. It was under this banner that the rebellion was launched.

Therefore, if the president forcibly sends people to rescue the disaster when the local government does not ask for help, it is estimated that he will be impeached, which can be described as thankless.

Moreover, California is a blue state that has been cultivated by the Democratic Party for many years, and it has always been at odds with the fat man with golden hair sitting in the White House.Hollywood stars and people in the entertainment industry have been trying every means to discredit Golden Retriever King, either calling him a clown or calling him a lunatic...

Seeing Los Angeles, the stronghold of the blue party, being hit by an earthquake, Mr. President can't say anything on the surface, but he doesn't know how happy he is behind his back!

Repeat again, this year is an election year, but God has sent down a scourge on the blue state of California. What does it mean?

Of course, it means bless him to be re-elected successfully and fight for another four years in the Oval Office of the White House!

It is estimated that this guy squeezed out a few crocodile tears in front of the media at most, and he was already dancing with joy when he turned around...

(The background BGM music "It's Really Happy", the laughing Golden Retriever understands the king and dances. Jpg)

Under such circumstances, even if California, a hard-core blue state in the Democratic camp, declared a state of emergency immediately after the earthquake and asked Washington for help, the federal government controlled by the Republican Party might have to study it carefully and sanctimoniously. , Discuss, discuss, consider, arrange arrangements... After the disaster relief personnel set off, I'm afraid I will have to find some excuses to dawdle on the road...

——In this election year, if the White House controlled by a hostile party can launch disaster relief in California within three days, it is already working overtime regardless of past suspicions.If the work attitude is poor and the resistance is strong, the process may take a week to start!

To be honest, if possible, what Mr. President wants to send to Los Angeles is probably not disaster relief personnel and supplies, but bombers...
