205 Ambrosia Cartel: Part 12 (2/2)

”Sir, Lift off.”

The helicopter took off from the ground. The helicopter gained enough altitude that Patrick and Lynn could see the main base clearly. The large command platform had been expanded and its sized had been decupled. That command platform looked like an island in the middle of the Atlantic now. Waves were hitting the pillars that were supporting the command platform. If there was a storm, the wave could hit the main platform directly and all personnel must enter the lower deck immediately.

The command platform was connected to six other big platforms that were stretching in the ocean. Those platforms had its own runway and landing pads. The proximate distance of one command platform to another platform was twenty kilometers. Nathan made that much distance since the HSDC might make an expansion that would require that space. Some said that he was dreaming too high, but nothing was too high for Nathan. He could and would do anything to make his mercenary empire.

Still, there wasn't any dock inside of that main base since the R\u0026D team hadn't developed any technology that would ensure that the ship wouldn't be wrecked by the violent Atlantic ocean. They would need to make a dry dock in the middle of the ocean just for the sake of building and repairing one ship.

However, if a ship was available as an unit, they would have a good reach on every single continent on the earth since ship was flexible and had a longer range than an aircraft. However, their air force was one of the strongest airforces in the entire world. It was mainly due to the fact that their worst fighter jet was a Mig-35 and most of the squadrons in the HSDC used 4++ generation aircraft. Still, there were some squadrons that used F-22, Su-57, F-23, and Su-47.

Lynn might go and say to Nathan that she wanted to replace his F-15EX with the F-22 or the F-23. However, that request was refused by Nathan due to the fact that there was an experimental plane that was in development with the R\u0026D team and Lynn was quite a monicker, even in his F-15EX.'

Patrick also had faced the same problem with his Su-35S. He had been spooked so many times by the United States air force when he flew to the Guantanamo Bay. An F-22 fighter jet always sneaked on his back and sometimes, even shot a missile at him. However, Nathan response was the same. He refused since Patrick was quite a legend in his fighter jet.

”The sea is beautiful isn't it?” Patrick asked.

”Yeah, the sea is beautiful.”

”But the object on my right is way more beautiful,” Patrick said.

Lynn blushed. She just smiled at him. The pilot of the helicopter also smiled. The youngsters that were sitting behind him might be his commander, but he was way older than those two. He knew what teenager's love was.

”Quit it.” Lynn just smiled.

The helicopter landed on the logistic platform. The upper deck of the logistic platform was filled with airlift aircraft. Those aircrafts were ranging from a tanker to a C-5 Galaxy. All of those transport planes were escorted by at least one jet squadron. The planes delivered cargo to all over the world. That was where the profit of HSDC was coming from.

Aiden had thought to incorporate their services to the civilian world as a delivery service that delivered your goods faster than most delivery service in the world, but Nathan said that they didn't have the resource to do so. He said that the R\u0026D and Logistic team were developing a drone to deliver cargo to the battlefield. If the project worked, Nathan would think about that proposition.

Lynn and Patrick walked from the helicopter and the helicopter flew away from that platform. A plane was taking off in the runway of that platform. The plane was a C-17 Globemaster and it was escorted by a squadron of Mig-35. The logistic platform was half the size of the command platform which was still very big.

There was some multiple-floored building located in the logistic platform. Patrick and Lynn entered the central logistic building which was ten-floored. The engineering of the R\u0026D platform was magnificient. They really could build a storm-proof building in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Patrick entered the building and the breeze of air conditioner hit his face.
