《Doomsday 2020》35. The Navy
Advertisement
Benny, the mayor's assistant of Bay city, had been very busy in the last few weeks. But, the last few days have become weirder. Due to this, he’s accumulating a lot of stress. His boss the mayor, took a sudden holiday leave and could not be reached... Probably enjoying all the money he got from that new villa owner.
Since his arrival 2 weeks ago, so many things have changed. This guy named Alex had turned the city's best villa into some sort of a fortress. Gates and watchtower can be seen from the bay city. Benny also helped Alex in the acquisition of many lands not far from the city. He thinks given a few months, with that huge plot of land and workers, that place could become its own separate city.
After starting its construction in both of the villas and the land up north, more and more people start to come into the city. There are thousands of them, Benny can tell that most are workers, next is a group of doctors and scientists. They came to the city with their families. Suddenly all of the hotels and inns are full. This is probably good for the city, but the locals starts to become nervous. Lately, things took a turn for the worse, a group of thugs also came to the city. As a local government official, Benny knows some of them. They are the Bali misfits, they were known for brewing trouble in the city. It was as if these thugs aren't trouble enough, yesterday, a group of soldiers came to the city as well. There are more than 200 of them and Benny is smart enough to see that these soldiers are not like those regular soldiers.
Thugs and army, this could only mean trouble... Benny was worried that if he doesn’t do something, the situation might escalate into a small-scale war. Benny was left in charge of the city, currently, he has 20 staff that help him, but it's far from enough. Last week, he has to bring the local police forces to help him. It's a small city, Benny could only pull around 50 active policemen to assist the city.

KNOCK KNOCK !!
Knock on the door... One of his staff came in to tell him that he received an invitation to come to the villa by Mr. Alex, ‘Right about time’ he thought, he needed an explanation. These army and thugs must have something to do with that Alex. Suddenly...
TTTTOOOOOOOTTTT
"..."
The sound of a ship can be heard inside his office, this sound startled him. This is not the sound of any normal ship. Benny walks to the window of his second-floor office.
"..."
Last week, the port was filled with two big transport ships and half a dozen of new small ships. Today, there is another ship in sight, but this is not a normal ship... it's an Indonesian Navy destroyer.
Name: The Fatahillah 361
Type: Destroyer class
Launched: 19 June 1978
Displacement: 1450 tons
Length: 84 m
Beam: 11.10 m
Propulsion: Diesel engine
Speed: 30 knots (56 km/h)
Range: 3,300 km
Complement: 89
Armament:
1 × Bofors 120 mm (4.7 in) Gun, 1 × Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, 2 × 20 mm cannon, 1 × Bofors 375 mm twin anti-submarine rocket launcher, 2 × Mk 32 launchers for 324 mm torpedoes
This is an Indonesian navy warship. The Indonesian navy force has 8 frigate and 24 destroyers. Out of the 24 destroyers, only three of them are still using the old model diesel engine. All the other ships had either combined its engine with electric motors or was using power plant engines. When the Doomsday comes, only three of these ships will be usable. This is the special vehicle that Alex requested from the Regent.
At this moment, the Fatahillah has docked on the port of Bay city. A group of Navy marines can be seen moving out of the ship. They are standing in formation on the dock, waiting for someone. There are 80 marines and 6 officers that can be seen in this formation. A few minutes later, people wearing army uniforms, came to greet them.

"Commander Tom, welcome! I am Captain Donnie, Foxtrot company 6th division of the special forces."
The army and the navy have a slightly different ranking, a captain in the army have the same rank with a lieutenant in the navy, so Commander Tom’s rank is one rank higher than captain Donnie. But the commander knows what does the 6th division of the special forces means. They are the famous Deathsquad soldier, thus, the commander doesn't dare to be impolite.
"Thank you for welcoming us captain. We are from the navy of the second fleet, we are coming due to the direct order of the navy admiral of the second fleet. We are asked to support the foxtrot company’s mission. Today, I bring my crew of 30 support marines and a platoon of the Frog commando unit led by Lieutenant Russel here. My other officers that are in charge of navigation, supply, engineering and lastly, my XO, Lieutenant commander Karra."
The frog commandos are as famous as the Deathsquad, every year in the whole country, only about 30 men manage to become full member out of all the Indonesian marines. The fact that one full platoon of them are here, meant the Regent really pulled out some strings for this.
"Welcome to Bay city of Bali, you came right on time, the meeting is just about to start."
On the Bay city villa hall, tables had been set, desks and chairs were set up around the hall. It's currently crowded with a lot of people. In one of the tables, there are the Black Snake gang representative; Jerry, Jacko, Vicky, and Bayu. On the second table, there are the representative from the Medical center; Docter Andy and Doctor Rachel. On the third table, there are the Mayor’s representative; Benny and two of his staff and the head of Bay city police Roby. The fourth table are Alex's managers; Nina, Tony, Rina, and Eka. On the fifth table, there are Hendrik, Cindy, and Aria.
Not long after, the army representative and the navy arrived. The Deathsquad captain Donnie and his 4 lieutenant; Rangga, Mike, Budi, and Harris. Following behind him is commander Tom, his Xo commander Kara, Lieutenant Russel, as well as 3 other officers. There are a total of 28 people.
The situation is actually kinda weird at the moment. All type of strangers from different backgrounds is sitting in a hall together facing each other. There is one table still empty, it's the one at the front of the hall. Finally, the door opens, Alex and his wife comes and walks into the room, they are the center of the attention of the room.
"..."
Devita was alarmed upon looking at this scene. Scary looking thugs and military soldiers they were all packed in the same room. She thought they went into the wrong place.
Alex confidently said, "Don't worry, follow me." He took her hand and walked with her to the last empty table at the front of the hall. She sits at one of the chairs. From behind, Alex holds her both shoulder for a second to calm her down. Alex slowly moves to stand in front of the group.
"Welcome everyone, I am Alex the facilitator of this gathering. Some of you I haven't met, we can talk and get to know better later, but first, I want to announce the reason for our gathering here today. There is evidence to believe that at the end of this month, a disaster will spread all around the world. This evidence is being backed by the influential figures and even the military. We are here to set up a survival base to prepare for the worst."
