Chapter 1009 - Orbital Airborne Soldiers (1/2)
In mid-April, the Kane Civil War was in its peak, and mercenaries continued to cross the Polish border and entered the Kane region to support the pro-Western Poroshenko government. In this war, Arrow Company entered the international community for the first time. Its combat power was comparable to that of regular army, and it was a mercenary organization that owned tanks, artillery, and helicopter gunships. On the battlefield, they ignored any international law and killed their enemies with the cruelest means.
However, in this regard, the UA, Europe, and other countries were only symbolically condemned, and no one would use international law to prosecute private companies that had an unknown registration location. This double standard worked perfectly, just like what happened in Iraq, with the private military company taking most of the blame.
There was a rumor that Celestial Ring trade would be involved in this war. However, except for a train full of supplies being pulled to the Russian-Kane border, there was no news about Celestial Trade. At first, the Kane government also strongly condemned the action, but intelligence soon revealed that Celestial Trade did not make any other moves in the region was and the tension was slightly diffused.
As a pawn of the Freemasonry, Willey Society was exhausting all its resources to collect intelligence in Russia and keep tracking of Celestial Trade. They were not so naive to think that Jiang Chen was just joking with them. Their master, Carmen, knew better than anyone else what Jiang Chen was capable of.
In late April, after the official signing of the contract with the Donetsk Chocolate Field, Celestial Trade completed war planning and all forces were deployed within three days.
In a ring-shaped city 36,000 kilometers away, a black transport ship left the port.
At first glance, this spaceship resembled the Russian-designed SS OleG. It was the same rectangular structure with defined corners as well as four engines. However, a closer examination revleaed that Celestial Trade’s ship was much larger, and the four engines at the tail used principle of electric propulsion rather than chemical power.
After the transport ship left the port, it changed directions, reduced its speed, and follow the synchronous orbit. After the ship entered 30-degree east longitude, it would then accelerate and return to the synchronous orbit.
In this 30-degree east longitude airspace, there was a total of ten transport ships hovering. These transport ships were pulled by mechanical arms and arranged side by side, just like a bamboo pole spread out on the orbit.
Leaning against the window of the transport ship, Zhang Feng, in a kinetic skeleton, squinted at the view from the window.
Looking down, Europe was brightly lit, but their destination had nothing to do with the center of the bustling world. They were aiming for the darkest corner of the continent, Kane, only decorated by the spare artillery explosions.
“It’s exciting to jump from a height of more than 30,000 kilometers, isn’t it? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not afraid. I’m just going back to my hometown.” One of the Slavic soldiers joked.
Zhang Feng looked at him but didn’t say anything. They were from all over the world, and the only thing they had in common was their veteran experience as soldiers.
At this time, a black shadow near the window slowly approached.
Zhang Feng glanced down and happened to see the red signal light on the watch embedded in the kinetich skeleton’s arm.
Time was up.
“The last bus is coming. I wish you good luck.” Zhang Feng patted the arm of the Slavic soldier, lifted the rifle on the side, buckled the helmet, moved his stiff neck, then moved to the cargo.
Counting the ship that was approaching, these eleven transport ships were the entire fleet of Celestial Trade. In order to carry out this large-scale airborne mission, Ivan even borrowed the space shuttle that sailed between Celestial City and the Moon.
When the last transport ship entered the queue, the entire fleet of transport ships moved together, like a chemical reaction taking place.
The bottom door slowly opened and the cargo compartment tilted downward slightly. The iron boxes dropped down like from the hatch like dumplings being dumped into the boiling pot. There was a short burst of flame coming from the top of the iron boxes, and they fell down to the Earth one after another.
