Chapter 1027 - Mars Colonization Plan (2/2)

Occasionally, only occasionally, when Xia Shiyu couldn’t handle his embrace, she would seek help from Ayesha who happened to be peeking. It was only when she woke up the next day when she would feel ashamed of everything that happened last night.

Good times always flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was May.

With Celestial Trade joining the regional conflict, the Ukraine war situation welcomed a historic turning point. Following Jiang Chen’s orders, Celestial Trade soldiers who helped to advance the front line to the east bank of the Dnieper River stopped all attacks. They began to take a defensive stance. Other than maintaining air support, most of the ground forces had withdrawn from the front lines.

It wasn’t the time to win.

NATO wouldn’t allow Ukraine to fall to the east, and Jiang Chen didn’t like the idea of satisfying the polar bear at once. However, he couldn’t be too obvious with his reluctance. After all, his employer paid money. Fortunately, Arrow sent 20,000 mercenaries to Ukraine and launched mobile warfare against the militants in the northern towns. This also gave an opportunity for Celestial Trade to maintain the stalemate.

Perhaps Celestial Trade’s reluctance gave the Arrow commander an illusion of “winning”. At the end of April, the two divisions of the Ukraine Army launched a new round of attack.

A total of 120 tanks, 327 armored vehicles, 27 armed helicopters and 10 fighters participated in the war. Steel shambles and tarred black smoke spread throughout every inch of the eastern suburbs of Dnepropetrovsk.

If it wasn’t for the two Celestial Trade brigades’ timely rescue, they would’ve almost done it. Both sides suffered a lot of casualties with Ukraine ending up in defeat. The two divisions returned to the west bank of the Dnieper River.

Because of the tragic defeat of the Ukraine Army on the east bank, the Ukraine president was almost forced to step down. However, with NATO support, he managed to stay in office.

The two sides were deadlocked on both sides of the Dnieper River, and no one could gain an inch. The situation finally eased.

In addition to carrying out the airstrike mission, Aurora-20s occasionally snuck into the airspace of Poland, Frankberg, and even France. Following Jiang Chen’s orders, they cooperated with Ghost Agents to search for Carmen’s whereabouts.

Carmen was certainly devious. Since the assassination at Pilsner, he seemed to have disappeared. All the events in which he must appear in public were given to his spokesperson or professional manager. He completely hid behind the scenes. Occasionally, he resurfaced only to quickly disappear again.

Even with the help of high-tech investigative means, it was difficult to pin a person’s whereabouts in massive Europe. What’s more, with the strong grasp of Freemasonry inside its home base, the organization’s power integrated and was entrenched into every aspect of the continent. If Carmen didn’t want to reveal himself, the possibility of catching him was almost zero.

Ghost Agents operating in Europe previously captured traces of Carmen’s activities in Switzerland and Finland, but when they arrived, he had long escaped.

But it wasn’t like they gained nothing.

On the morning of May 4th, Monica Geller, who returned from Europe to Coro Island, brought two interesting pieces of news to Jiang Chen…
