Chapter 1322 - Military Exercise (2/2)

The missiles. .h.i.tting targets were nothing surprising, since they all could achieve the same result with drone guidance.

What really surprised them was the cruise speed of the anti-s.h.i.+p missile.

Are you sure that was not a cannonball?

Lei Zheng returned to the post and began preparations for the next stage of drills under the command.

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from the satellite image and looked at Ivan.

“What’s the next drill?”

“All maritime exercises have been completed. The next one is the landing drill,” Ivan replied.

“It’s time to test the new equipment.”

Jiang Chen and Ivan looked at each other and exchanged a heartfelt smile.

…

Finally, it was an opportunity for Moro to perform.

Of course, their poor financial situation made it difficult for them to afford cruisers and frigates that cost up to hundreds of millions of dollars, but they could certainly afford rubber boats.

Landing operations were the only exercise they could showcase their expertise.

Guardian-cla.s.s frigates lined up on the sea, and four thick and long type-50J electromagnetic pulse cannons were aimed at the coast. The glaring white lights flashed one after another, orange ballistic trajectories ripped through the sky, and the exploding dusts connected one after another onto the bunkers on the sh.o.r.e.

After a round of fire barrage, the a.s.sault boat was released by Celestial Trade’s large transport s.h.i.+p. Most of the soldiers on the a.s.sault boats were Moro soldiers.

At almost the same time when the a.s.sault boat was put down, thirty “Crocodile-20” amphibious a.s.sault vehicles suddenly appeared out of the coast about 15 meters away. Like preying crocodiles, they bit towards the beach.

As soon as the well-equipped Celestial Trade Marines reached the beach, they quickly followed the amphibious a.s.sault vehicles and the attack drones, and advanced towards the bombarded position.

At the same time, Moro’s a.s.sault boats also reached the beach. Soldiers with military green camouflage rushed in with light weapons, and quickly seized the bunkers bombed by artillery. They raised small red flags onto the turret and bunker positions.

Before the landing operation began, Jiang Chen walked from the bridge to the deck of the s.h.i.+p.

Compared with the narrow bridge, the field of vision here was wider and clearer.

Jiang Chen put down the binoculars in his hand as he held onto the railing. He looked to the beach with his eyes narrowed. With the wind blowing his face and in a delightful mood, the corner of his mouth curved up as he spoke to Ivan next to him.

“I always feel that something is missing there.”

“What is missing?” Ivan asked immediately.

“It’s at that place,” Jiang Chen casually pointed to the beach, and laughed, “Don’t you think there is still a Statue of Liberty missing?”

Ivan was taken aback, and then he laughed along.

“Would you like me to get someone to build one there, and we can re-conduct the drill?”

“There is no need,” Jiang Chen smiled, shook his head, and waved his hand, “If that day comes, it won’t be a drill.”
