It is the night, the port on the west coast of South America.
The two cargo ships slowly landed and stopped at the berths of the port.
Under the cover of the night, the containers were unloaded from the freighter by the bridge cranes, placed behind heavy trucks, and headed for a military base about five kilometers from the port.
On another slightly smaller freighter, soldiers wearing exoskeletons descended from the deck, landed in the port, and sat on a military truck waiting for a long time. As the trucks of heavy trucks sailed to the military base of the Star Trade.
Tumaco, a port town on the border between South Colombia and Ecuador, has a population of just 2,000.
After the end of the Colombian civil war, South Colombian President Jimenez signed a “Cross-Regional Economic Development Zone Agreement” with the Star-Ring Trade, and assigned 740 square kilometers of land from the Tumaco-Ecuador border to the Star Trade as a special economic zone.
According to the agreement, under the premise of observing the Colombian Constitution, the Star Trade has a certain degree of autonomy, including setting tariffs, including stationing troops. In contrast, Star Ring Trading promised to South Colombia to raise the SAR gdp to S$50 billion within ten years and maintain a 5% growth rate within 50 years.
At the same time, the Star Ring trade took the space elevator as a bargaining chip and rented 260 square kilometers of land from Ecuador to make up an integer. However, the land is not yet in place, and the Ecuadorian government said that the space contract will be officially signed after the start of the second phase of the space elevator.
When it was the same as when the Xinma Special Zone was established, it became a special economic zone in the border area, so that both countries can benefit together in this special zone, so that no one can do without the star trade. It can not only strengthen the regional influence of the star trade, but also obtain direct economic income. The same special zone earlier in the morning, Jiang Chen also got a job on the border between Moro and the Philippines, and now it has been operating very well.
With the completion of the SAR port, the Army of the Star Trade also began to land in South Columbia in batches.
In less than a month, more than 10,000 star-ring soldiers have arrived in South America and entered the military base of Tumaco.
Among them, seven thousand are star-ring foreign corps, most of which come from Moro, Madagascar, Ukraine, Central Africa and other places, and the other three are the regular arms of the Star Ring Trade. The scientific and technological content of their weapons and equipment represents the highest level of future military work... ...
It also represents the highest level in the world.
Those who patrol the port are not only the people who trade in the ring, but also the soldiers in the military uniforms of South Colombia.
While the squadron traded in southern Colombia, it also took over 4,000 South Columbia recruits.
This is the request made by South Colombian President Jimenez to Jiang Chen during the SAR negotiations. Jiang Chen readily accepted the proposal for the sake of improving the combat effectiveness of his allies. With the help of the Star Ring Trade Instructor and the Virtual Reality Training System, these recruits will be familiar with the weapon-type equipment exhibited by all future military personnel in the defense exhibition, such as the sickle-type drone, the s1 exoskeleton, and so on.
The commander's office of the military base sat at his desk. Cai Deye looked at the list in his hand and his brow wrinkled slightly.
"Two hundred ns-90? What is this ns-90? I have never heard of it."
"You haven't heard that it's normal," said the man standing at his desk and shaving his head. "This is a new land-use robot developed by the future military industry. The confidentiality level was reduced from s to b yesterday. Install all levels of troops."
Cai Deye’s expression is slightly different.
He had heard of it a long time ago, and the future military industry is studying a pure ai robot soldier who is moderately priced and can replace the flesh and blood. But he did not expect that the result would be so soon.
"Is this going to fight?" Cai Deye said seriously.
"You can say that," the man nodded. "The international situation is unpredictable. The meaning of the above is not clear, but the deployment has already begun. You are here on the front line. No matter where you don't play, you must be prepared here. I said so, you should understand what I mean."
The list of arms that contained hundreds of millions of SGD worth of weapons and equipment was put into the drawer. Cai Deye looked at the man standing at his desk and nodded seriously.
"I understand."
"You know it," the man nodded. "In this way, I am going back to Xinyue Island to cross the border."
......
The chaos caused by the election results lasted for five days.
It wasn't until Christmas time approached that people let go of the suffocation of their hearts and stopped those meaningless struggles and the chasing of aliens.
As it turns out, there is no crack that time can't be repaired. The Georgian militia announced the dissolution, although the leaders of the militia group have repeatedly said that they will be assembled again under the flag if necessary. The demonstrators who took advantage of the establishment of the Republic of California and the country also dispersed and began to return to work.
All the impulses, the final outcome is no longer.
After all, life has to continue anyway, even if you have 10,000 reluctances in your heart, you can't change the fact that that person has been elected.
However, when everyone thought that everything had passed, the aftermath of this farce did not stop.
On Christmas Eve, Wall Street sent a gift to Trang, the US dollar index plunged 2%, followed by the Dow Jones index (US stock market), the global stock market rallied, seems to be rehearsing for the economic crisis a few months later ......
In the morning, after washing, Jiang Chen came to the dining room.
In addition to Natasha's sleep because she was too late, she couldn't get up in the bed. Xia Shiyu and Aisha had already eaten almost.
After packing up his plate, Aisha got up and went to the kitchen. As she passed the door of the dining room, she gently picked up her toes and took a sip on Jiang Chen’s face. Reminiscent of the soft touch on the face, Jiang Chen opened the chair and sat at the table.
"Is the news in the morning?" While wiping the corner of the mouth with a napkin, Xia Shiyu said in a chattering tone.
"I haven't seen it yet, what's wrong?" Yawning, Jiang Chen picked up today's "Wall Street Journal" and swept his headline printed on the cover. He couldn't help but say, "The Dow Jones index is bleak, Nasdaq. Gram collective collapse? How Wall Street also began to play this kind of performance art."
The space sector collectively killed, it seems that the Americans themselves know what it means for them to join the Earth Defense Alliance’s expected bankruptcy.
"Would you like to send those astronauts back?" Xia Shiyu asked casually.
"Why not? Do you still keep them for the New Year?" Jiang Chen said.
"Speaking, how do I feel that you are not surprised at the election of Trang? We have thrown a lot of chips in John Kennedy." Looking at Jiang Chen’s unfair appearance, Xia Shiyu bent his mouth and used it. The sly tone said, "I thought you would be more frustrated."
"Frustrated?" It seems like I heard something funny. Jiang Chen laughed and turned the newspaper in the page. He said softly, "The frustrated person can't be me. No matter who is elected." I am ready to prepare for this."
