Chapter 532, Shelling the Eagle Army(1/2)

The elevator that goes in and out of the vault is very large, larger than the elevators used in ordinary buildings.

Mainly due to the load.

Elevators commonly used in ordinary buildings, even larger ones, only have a load capacity of just over one ton. Many small elevators only weigh a few hundred kilograms, which means they are overweight for seven or eight people.

That won't work here in the vault.

The specific gravity of gold is very heavy, much heavier than a human being. Even one cubic meter weighs close to twenty tons. A small elevator weighing more than one ton is not practical at all, and a few gold bricks are overweight.

Therefore, a large elevator with a load of more than 20 tons is required. Even with such a large elevator, it is very troublesome to transport all the gold from the vault.

“Is this elevator really immobile?”

Opening the closed door of the elevator and looking at the dark lift shaft below, the pod was more than ten meters deep and connected to the top through several thick steel cables. The major pointed at the elevator below and asked.

"People can still move as long as they turn on the power supply. However, although there are forklifts and other transportation tools in the vault, the door of the vault is circular in design and the forklift cannot get out at all. Back then, the forklifts were dismantled into parts and assembled in the vault.

Moving money or gold requires manual methods. It’s not that I think it’s so troublesome. It’s because the design of the vault is like this. In order to prevent gold from being stolen, convenience is not considered, but the trouble is caused by it.”

Faced with the threat of a gun, the person in charge of the treasury responded very neatly, saying everything he could and could not say. The treasury was there anyway, and it didn't matter whether he told lies or not.

"Go down and take a look!" the major ordered.

Immediately, several clone soldiers wearing body armor slid down the steel cable.

Soon gunfire rang out from below, indicating a firefight with the guards below.

It sounded like the soldiers were pressing down on the guards and beating them.

Also, the guards are all security personnel who have never seen blood. Even if they train every day, they can't compare to the clone soldiers who can compete with the King of Soldiers in every aspect.

After about five or six minutes, the elevator below rose up. Apparently, the clone soldiers had killed several guards below and controlled the elevator in and out of the vault.

Sitting on the elevator, the major and the person in charge of the treasury came to the outside of the underground vault. They looked at the alloy steel protective door of the vault. The major couldn't help but nodded. This design is really perverted.

The alloy steel protective door is very thick, estimated to be more than half a meter, with a circular design, as tall as one person, and the door swing hand adopts the original turntable design.

Don't be fooled by the turntable and think that the design is backward. If nothing else goes wrong, this door should have a mechanical and electronic double locking structure, which requires three password verifications before it can be opened.

"Open the door." The major looked at the person in charge of the treasury and said.

"I can't open it without the password." Seeing the major trying to open the door of the underground vault by himself, the fat manager in charge of the vault quickly raised his hand to explain,

"There is a complicated process for opening a vault. Even if I am the person in charge of the vault, I have no rights and need approval from my superiors because I only have the if.

Every time I open the vault, I need the password given by my superior and the key in my hand to open the vault."

"Does that mean you don't have the password?" the major asked, waving the pistol on his waist.

"Yes, the password to open the vault is constantly changing and is in the hands of the special commissioner. Every time, the special commissioner sent from the headquarters must cooperate with me to open the vault.

I didn’t lie, really, I didn’t lie to you. This is what the board of directors has stipulated. I’m just a part-time worker and I can’t influence the board of directors.”

When he saw the major taking out his pistol, he was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak and he almost collapsed on the ground, fearing for his life.

"I won't kill you if you can answer the next question, otherwise!" the major gestured to the gun in his hand and asked.

"You ask, as long as I know, I will answer." When he heard that he could survive, the fat manager nodded quickly like a chicken drinking water. He didn't want to die.

As the person in charge of the treasury, the fat manager with an annual salary of millions is considered a wealthy person in Hong Kong. Even if he loses his position as the person in charge of the treasury, he can still live comfortably and enjoy life for decades.

"How big is the vault inside? Is it bigger than the building above, as the legend says?" the major asked, holding the gun in his hand against the fat manager's head.

"No, absolutely not. When the treasury building was constructed, it was modeled on the underground treasury, and the entire underground treasury was included in it.

In many places, underground vaults overlap with the buildings above.

The fat manager quickly waved his hand and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go in and take a look. Although this vault door requires a password, it can still be broken if you have a computer expert, but it just takes time."

"It does take time." The major nodded and ordered through the intercom, "Start working. The underground vault is modeled after a building. We only need to dig close to the building."

"Dig close to the building. Do they want to dig a hole? The vault is more than ten meters deep. It takes a long time to dig a hole. Do you have that long?"

The fat manager was very confused, but when he took the elevator back to the ground and arrived at the parking lot, the fat manager saw a strange machine using a huge drill to open the cash truck's door behind the vault, about ten meters outward.

Start drilling holes.

The huge drill bit made a huge sound when it came into contact with the cement pavement. It soon penetrated the cement layer and came into contact with the soil below.

"It's really making holes!"

Watching the drill bit continue to penetrate deeper, a hole more than one meter wide and two meters deep was soon formed. The fat manager held back and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course we're entering the vault!" The major chuckled a few times, waved his hand, and an M1A2 tank panted and drove over.

First, drive up a small slope that has been prepared long ago, point the muzzle downward, and aim at the newly drilled hole at a 60-degree angle.

"They want to use tank guns to open the bank vault." Seeing the tanks about to fire, the fat manager quickly backed away with crazy thoughts in his mind.

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening sound of artillery, the 120mm armor-piercing projectile fired by the tank accurately penetrated the newly dug hole.

As the best tank in the world, the armor-piercing projectiles launched by the M1A2 can penetrate 70 centimeters of armor at a distance of 2,000 meters, and shoot on the ground that is mainly soil. Not to mention the armor-piercing ability, it can penetrate the ground for at least several meters.

"Go on, fire two shots!"

After the shooting, a soldier stepped forward to see the shooting effect, turned his head and waved towards the tank, indicating to continue firing.

"Boom!"

Amidst the huge noise, two armor-piercing projectiles rushed out of the tank's muzzle and rushed into the hole that had become much larger due to the shelling.

"Very good, it's over now, you can put the explosives in!"

The soldier who just stepped forward continued to look at the shooting effect with a flashlight and determined that the depth of the hole was more than ten meters. He turned around and made an OK gesture, indicating that the depth had reached the required level and that the next step could be taken.

Soon, an armored vehicle loaded with explosives arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Seven or eight soldiers came up quickly, unloaded the explosives from the vehicle and threw them into the cave entrance. Soon nearly three tons of explosives were thrown in.

"Will this vault be very strong?" It would take some time to throw the explosives. The major asked looking at the person in charge beside him.

"Yes!"

The fat manager wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "When the vault building was designed, the shelling and bombing during the war years were fully taken into consideration, and steel bars and concrete were used for overall pouring.

It is very strong and can withstand the impact of ten tons of explosives. Even if a bomb explodes above it, as long as it is not a special ground-penetrating bomb, it will crack the wall a little at most.

"Ten tons, then I'm relieved. I'm worried that too much explosives will be put in and the vault will collapse, which will cause some trouble." Hearing that the vault can withstand ten tons of explosives, the major nodded with satisfaction.

"He signaled to pull in another ton of explosives and throw them in, and at the same time asked everyone to hide away. The impact of four tons of high explosives is no joke.

To put it bluntly, if there is an explosion, the surrounding buildings within two hundred meters will be damaged, and the glass within one kilometer will not be protected. Although people like myself are protected, they need to stand farther away to be safe.

"Major, the Eagle Army has been dispatched and will soon meet up with the people responsible for greeting the police!" Just as he took a few steps back, the major received the latest news.

"Now that you're here, don't go back. Tell the artillery to give them the warmest welcome." Because Lei Weidong hated the Eagle Army, even retreating with the summoned clone army had a bad impression on him.

The major directly ordered the battle group artillery to bombard them and eliminate them on their way.

"clear!"

After receiving the order, the artillerymen immediately raised the muzzle of the howitzer, and at the same time released the drone to guide the artillery target in the air, aiming at the Eagle Army's advancing convoy.

The war between Da Mao and Er Mao made people all over the world realize the role of drones in war, and also knew the name of the company DJI.

However, the history of drones can be traced back to DJI.

As early as the 1980s, autonomous driving began to be put into use.

In the initial clean-up work of Mao Xiong's nuclear power plant accident, Mao Xiong invested in a remote-controlled robot to complete the clean-up work. However, due to excessive radiation, the remote-controlled robot's electronic circuit failed and had to be handled manually.

To this end, a large number of troops were dispatched, and with fearless spirit and without professional protective clothing, they completed the cleanup of nuclear radiation debris.

If unmanned equipment had just appeared on the scene in the 1980s, it began to shine in the 1990s. As the most powerful U.S. military in the world, it is equipped with a large number of drones.

DJI's biggest contribution is the civilianization of drones, replacing expensive military chips with cheap civilian chips, allowing drones, a high-tech product, to enter thousands of households.

It is no longer a military-only product.

——

"How is the situation?" As the top officer of the army, the Colonel of the Eagle Army has much more combat experience than the police force.

The army is not a robber.

For robbers, a few hundred meters away from the front line is a safe zone, and a temporary headquarters can be designed.

Not so with the army.

In front of an army equipped with tanks and artillery, a few kilometers or even a few hundred meters is a dangerous area.

So when he was still five or six kilometers away from Kowloon Bay, the colonel of the Eagle Army ordered to stop advancing and meet up with the police to confirm the information before continuing.

Faced with the colonel's request, the police force did not dare to neglect, and soon the deputy director of the police department and his men came to greet him.

Colonel Yingjun had no dissatisfaction with the fact that the director of the department did not come and the deputy director in charge of operations came instead.

Police Chief Cao Dahua was suppressed by Deputy Chief Guilao and the Governor because he helped Lei Weidong win many important positions in the police force. Colonel Yingjun also knew that he had to take sick leave.

The only headache is...

Even if the two deputy chiefs ousted Cao Tat-wah, they did not take over the power of the police force. When they ousted Cao Tat-wah, Lei Weidong also ousted the Operations Department.
To be continued...
