Such firepower would be a nightmare for police officers armed with pistols and riot guns.
In an instant, the situation was completely out of control.
From Los Angeles to San Francisco, and then to New York...
Almost all major and medium-sized cities in the United States were simultaneously plunged into chaos.
Stocks suspended trading, factories shut down, shops closed...
The streets were filled with rioters carrying guns and vandalizing property.
Police in various cities were completely at a disadvantage, on the defensive.
The governors of the states were in a panic, wanting to quell the riots as soon as possible, but also fearing that using the National Guard would trigger a civil war.
The mind-blowing decision of deploying the military to suppress urban riots ultimately had to be left to the president.
Clington, still hiding in Cheyenne Mountain, was having a major headache over the North Bear's brazen invasion of Alaska.
Sure enough, right after the nuclear disaster, trouble broke out in the north, and riots erupted across the country...
As the most tragic president in American history, Clinton had no choice but to bite the bullet and issue the order to deploy the National Guard.
Many people are unaware that the US National Guard is actually very powerful.
This force, hailed as the world's fifth-largest military power, has a total strength of 430,000.
It has not only an army, but also an air force of more than 100,000 people.
The number of people involved in this nationwide riot is conservatively estimated to be as high as eight or nine million.
If only the army is deployed, it is estimated that it will be difficult to control the situation in the short term.
Therefore, at General Daly's suggestion, Clington urgently redeployed the Air National Guard, which was mainly stationed on the East Coast, to the states most severely affected by the riots.
The Air National Guard's main weapons are F-15 fighter jets and Apache attack helicopters.
Daly's original suggestion was to send an additional 20,000 Marines to the area.
But it was ultimately rejected by Clington.
Because, as the United States' ace force, the Marine Corps' next main battlefield is in the north.
At this time, the rumble of tanks echoed across the vast and sparsely populated Alaska.
