Chai Shizheng, wearing a field military uniform and a gun on his waist, sat in the front cabin of a military transport aircraft with a solemn expression. On both sides of the large cargo hold, 120 people wearing the latest fully-covered powered exoskeleton armor were sitting neatly.
Infantry. The central safety rope of the cargo bay holds four crouching combat mechas.
There are more than thirty such military transport aircraft in total. They form a huge fleet and fly over the clear skies over the European plains under the escort of fighter jets. In the other direction, a North American fleet of comparable size is flying over the Atlantic Ocean.
.In addition, a similar Russian fleet hundreds of kilometers behind the fleet is also catching up.
"Report to the General! The fighter planes ahead reported that the target airspace is safe and no fighter planes or ground-based anti-aircraft weapons have been found!" the staff officer's voice came over the radio.
"Roger! Fly to the target area as planned." Chai Shizheng gave the order.
"yes!"
The plane began to slowly lower its altitude, and through the portholes, one could already see the green carpet-like plains and crisscrossing rivers.
"Connect me to General Curtis' communication line." Chai Shizheng said.
Soon, he heard General Curtis's voice on his earphones.
"General Chai, we are still 20 minutes away from the target. Are you okay?"
Chai Shizheng's resolute voice was filled with anxiety:
"General Curtis, we should arrive first. I want to reiterate to you that after our fleet lands, only bring the necessary number of troops. The rest of the troops should not rush into combat formations and let the transport aircraft park centrally. Put the troops
Deploy centrally to defend the downtime area. Don't show too much aggression.
The situation on the ground is already chaotic enough, and EDA managed to get to the current situation with great difficulty. We must not let the situation get out of control. The loss of either party is unacceptable to mankind!"
Although General Curtis’s voice in the headphones is very relaxed, it is not casual at all:
"Oh! Of course, General Chai. President Isaac just emphasized the order to me again. Forced force cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. The order of the EDA Military Commission is also very clear. We will fully cooperate with your actions. But in
With you more than five hundred kilometers behind you, the grumpy General Kadyrov may not be so patient."
Chai Shizheng was silent for a moment:
"General Curtis, then I ask you and your troops not to take action after landing. After the Russian transport plane lands, you first stabilize General Kadyrov and his troops. After that, we will act together!"
"No problem, General Chai. I am willing to serve you!"
The altitude of the plane was already very low, and the outline of the city on the edge of the plain was already vaguely visible. Rows of metallic steel industrial factories on the nearby plain were as neat as the boxes of merchandise on the promotional shelves. But strangely, even
Even through the telescope, I couldn't see a single car on the criss-crossing highway.
The entire factory area looks like it is sleeping. Even if you can't hear the sound on the plane, you can still feel the unusual silence in the factory area. In the middle of the crisis era, such a situation is impossible to happen normally. All factories around the world
Almost all of them are running non-stop 24 hours a day.
A group of black aircraft appeared over a large flat grassland next to the factory. Viewed from the air, there was a white line between this huge grassland and the industrial factory area, separating the factory area from the landing area.
The four-engine transport planes dragging light black smoke landed on the grass one after another with a rumble that echoed through the sky. The landing gear of the transport planes plowed black marks on the grass, although this would make the transport planes landing behind them even more bumpy.
This will not affect the landing of this strategic transport aircraft with both tactical take-off and landing capabilities.
Chai Shizheng stepped off the transport plane and was surprised to find through the telescope that the white line he just saw in the air turned out to be composed of thousands of workers wearing white work clothes. Although their queues were loose, it was obvious that
It's organized.
What surprised him even more was that there were many soldiers mixed in the queue. They mingled with the workers, and they didn't seem to be maintaining order or stopping them, but more like joining them.
In the rear, you can even see several combat mechs with their canopies raised.
The soldiers and mechas on the transport plane quickly completed their formation. A staff officer ran up to Chai Shizheng and gave a military salute:
"Report to the general, the guard troops have been assembled! Please give instructions!"
"After all the planes land, keep the troops on alert and standby! No firing is allowed without my order! Do you understand?" Chai Shizheng issued the order sternly.
"yes!"
"Guard troops follow me!"
120 soldiers wearing powered exoskeleton armor and four mechas followed Chai Shizheng and ran all the way to a classical castle not far from the landing site, surrounded by a moat and decorated with gorgeous stained glass and exquisite woodworking railings.
Arriving at the castle's suspension bridge, the garrison officer and several soldiers came forward. Chai Shizheng adjusted his breathing slightly and said seriously:
"I am the commander of special military operations authorized by the EDA Military Commission! Now I am responsible for taking over all defense here! Please evacuate immediately with your troops!"
While Chai Shizheng was giving the order, the soldiers and mechas behind him all raised their weapons. But the garrison officer had no intention of resisting. After he performed the military salute, he called him over the radio in front of Chai Shizheng.
The troops issued an order to evacuate.
Chai Shizheng left the mecha behind and led some soldiers across the suspension bridge of the moat. There were countless famous paintings, sculptures, and curiosities in the castle. But Chai Shizheng almost didn't take a second look. Finally, he decorated the third floor in a classical and luxurious style.
President Honorn was found in the great office.
He was excitedly watching the transport planes arriving one after another on the large balcony, until his assistant reminded him that guests had arrived.
"Oh! God bless you, you are finally here! Those damn workers are on strike, they have occupied the city hall and the parliament, and I have to come here. Even some of the troops are not obeying orders! Damn it, but now you
Come, everything will be under control again! Thank God! Look at those transport planes as elegant as swans!"
Chai Shizheng glanced at President Honored coldly, then glanced at the bottle of red wine with a torn label on the desk, and said:
"Mr. President, if the matter hadn't reached this stage, I don't think you would have taken the initiative to apply for EDA military intervention, right?"
Honor's expression froze slightly, but soon returned to his excited expression:
"As long as we disarm the disobedient troops and disperse the striking workers who surrounded here and the parliament. If we slowly negotiate terms with the workers' leaders, they will return to work and continue production. And you and your
These well-trained soldiers can do this easily."
Chai Shizheng took a deep breath, with anger shining in his eyes:
"I was ordered to maintain basic order and investigate the cause of the unrest! Now that more than half of the factories in your country are shutting down, you should understand the seriousness of the situation. It is impossible for me to order the troops to take action against the striking people."
"Of course, General. The workers were just instigated by a small number of extremists and believed some rumors. As long as we get those extremists out and explain it clearly to people, the unrest will naturally end." President Honor explained clearly.
Perfunctory.
Chai Shizheng could no longer hold back the anger in his chest and said sharply:
"Every minute the factory is shut down now means that someone will pay the price with their life in the future doomsday battle! And this person may be you, or your family!
What is happening here now, what have you done! We don’t know yet! But you yourself know it, and the workers and people know it even better! Otherwise, it wouldn’t have reached this point!”
Chai Shizheng adjusted his mood and lowered his tone:
"If you still want to use those clichés to perfunctory EDA's investigation, then I can only temporarily remove you from your position according to the authorization and investigate on my own. But this will only waste more time!"
