Chapter 562 Parachute Drop, David's Bandit Suppression

Northern Mexico.

Under the pitch-black night sky, thousands of Y-8 Pro Max long-range military transport aircraft, escorted by J-11 series fighter jets, flashed red and white navigation lights as they soared at an altitude of 10,000 meters at a speed of 1100 kilometers per hour.

Compared to the traditional Y8, these aircraft have four additional thrust reversers on their wings and one additional lift-enhancing device at the tail. Furthermore, during the upgrade process, technologies such as thrust reversal and flap blowing were adopted to further improve takeoff and landing performance.

This also increases the maximum payload to 160 tons and the maximum range to 6200 kilometers. If auxiliary fuel tanks are installed, the range can be increased by an additional 4000 kilometers.

The single-unit transport capacity has been increased to include three main battle tanks weighing less than 50 tons, two Apache helicopters, 16 three-line armored assault vehicles, or a battalion of 450 fully armed soldiers.

因此Y8 pro max远程军用运输机，超越北美载重129吨的C-5银河、冰熊载重150吨的安124，成为目前世界上运载能力最强的运输机。

11 pm.

Inside the Y8 Pro Max long-range military transport aircraft, serial number 1639.

Hassan used the battalion-level individual command and control system to wake up the more than 400 subordinates in the cockpit and reconfirm the mission.

Hassan was once a phosphate mine slave. After being liberated by General Black Fat, he fought on the central, eastern, and North African fronts. Now, after four years of war and advanced studies at the military academy, he has risen from soldier to squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, and battalion commander.

His military rank was also promoted to lieutenant colonel due to his military achievements.

Although he lacks the ability to command large-scale battles, making it difficult for him to advance in rank and position, his current life is far beyond what he could have imagined before.

In particular, the treatment and living standards of his wife and children far surpassed those of the former mine slave owners.

Therefore, Hassan always worked very hard to protect all of this.

In battle, they were fearless and willing to sacrifice themselves to create opportunities for their side.

During training, they worked tirelessly, day and night, striving to become the strongest elite soldiers.

During training, strict self-discipline is required, and military orders are absolute; those who disobey will be executed.

So after becoming a platoon leader, Hassan has killed far more of his own men in the last two years than he has killed any enemies in his entire life.

Hassan had also pondered why those who were killed refused to try, even though they were all black and everyone had the opportunity to pursue a better life.

During training, they deliberately slack off; during exercises, they deliberately disobey military orders; during meals, they deliberately waste food; when given weapons, they deliberately waste bullets; when driving armored vehicles, they deliberately drive recklessly…

Fortunately, the 21st group in West Africa has a population of nearly 3 million, so new recruits can be added at any time after they are killed.

Therefore, the more than four hundred subordinates in the cabin were all elites personally selected by Hassan with bullets.

In terms of combat capability, neither the European coalition nor the Ice Bear mercenaries stationed in Africa are a match for them.

However, there are thousands of such 'infantry battalions' in West Africa.

To distinguish oneself in this war and obtain one of the first 'battalion-level designations' in the 21st Group of West African States is not something that can be achieved through mere effort.

"Our mission is to hold Battlefield 177 and prevent the Federal Army from advancing south. On this basis, in order to obtain the unit designation, we must quickly grasp the detailed movements of the enemy so as to capture their generals and flags."

"Yes!"

As the four companies responded, a countdown to the parachute drop began to sound from the top of the cabin.

Each company, platoon, and squad checked their belongings again and began to jump down in an orderly fashion along the two static ropes on the left and right.

at the same time.

Around them, figures also jumped down from the Y8 Pro Max long-range military transport aircraft.

In an instant.

Twelve legions of the G21 West African coalition, totaling 280,000 troops, appeared over Mexico.

...

Monterrey, northern Mexico.

North American Command in Mexico.

General William, former Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Command, looked at the thousands of flight units on the radar visualization interface, took a deep breath, and ordered the front lines to be on high alert.

"General, their paratroopers are less than 500 meters from our forward positions. Should we open fire?"

"Avoid crossfire."

"Yes!"

Federal capital has deployed approximately 1800 fighter jets in North America, primarily concentrated in states bordering the United States and Mexico.

For example, Texas has about 200 aircraft.
Approximately 230 aircraft in Arizona.
240 in New Mexico
Approximately 260 aircraft in Florida.
Approximately 200 in California.

The remainder, approximately 300 aircraft, are deployed in Alaska.

The Pentagon had already guessed that the West African Group 21 would deploy troops to Latin America when the Y-8 long-range transport fleet took off.

Normally, with the enemy at our doorstep, North America should seize the opportunity to conduct aerial interception.

But the Pentagon did not issue any instructions.

This made William realize that things weren't so simple.

Therefore, he privately called Defense Secretary Robert Gates to inquire about the reasons and to try to figure out how to fight this war.

The following reply was received:
"Our deployment of 1800 fighter jets in the northern border states does not mean that all 1800 can be used. Due to factors such as rotation, leave, and maintenance, only about 1200 can currently be put into combat."

"Of the 1200 fighter jets, there are various models and service ceilings. At most, 300 can break through the 1.5-meter service ceiling and compete with the J-11 series."

"These 300 fighter jets are not concentrated in one air force base, but are scattered in the US-Mexico border states. If we want to repel more than 200 J-11 series fighter jets and intercept more than 1,000 three-series transport aircraft from the 21 countries in West Africa, we can only use a maximum of 150 aircraft."

"In the past, we had many encounters with the J-11 series, with 150 aircraft fighting against more than 200, and the chances of winning were not high."

"Furthermore, the three-series transport aircraft possesses attack capabilities at high altitudes. For example, by opening the rear cargo door of the transport aircraft and launching containers filled with three-series missiles, they can attack and intercept fighter jets through the container launch platform."

"Furthermore, in addition to the Y8 transport formation of the 21st Group in West Africa, the oil country has also launched another Y8 transport formation. If we intercept the former and consume ammunition, and then intercept the latter and consume ammunition again, then if Yu Sanyuan launches a third wave of attacks, we will be in big trouble."

"Most importantly, this is Mexico, not North America. The two sides are fighting for the Mexican Line of Control. The official purpose is suppression, not actual combat. We have absolutely no reason to launch a preemptive attack on the Y8 transport fleet."

"Furthermore, last night, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer detached from the Joint Fleet visited Cuba and received an unprecedented welcome. The two sides held secret talks for most of the night, and the Hong Kong-Macau Economic Circle announced this morning that it would provide aid to Cuba."

"At the same time, another Arleigh Burke-class destroyer visited Jamaica, and after a private meeting, the Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau economic circle announced aid to Jamaica."

"These two aid projects require the deployment of supplies, equipment, personnel, and so on to Latin America. If we use fighter jets to intercept the Y8 transport formation, we are very likely to be counterattacked by Yu Sanyuan."

"In short, it's not that we're afraid of war, it's that we were completely unprepared for this sudden, large-scale military operation."

"Therefore, we need to open up the South Pacific battlefield or the Caucasus battlefield, and use the conflict that we are prepared for to force Yu Sanyuan to terminate his operations in Latin America."

William understood. "However, I have a question: why has Jamaica, which has always been close to us, suddenly sided with the Third Faction?"

"During the Cold War, Jamaica's rapprochement with us was a matter of taking sides. But in the past fifty years, neither we nor Europe have paid any attention to Jamaica. As a result, by 02, the largest investment by Europe and the United States in Jamaica was a Spanish hotel with a total value of less than 200 million US dollars."

"After 02, the Third Series began to frequently hold sports events and various large-scale activities. Shili Camp would invite Jamaica to participate each time and cover all round-trip airfare, food and accommodation expenses, etc. (in fact, it was a fat black man disguised as a Jamaican used car dealer who participated in the competition)."

"As Jamaica won more and more awards, more and more people in Jamaica became aware of Tri-Systems' sponsorship of competitions, and then began to come into contact with Tri-Systems' philosophy and products..."

"By 05, the three partners began investing in Jamaica. For example, Sun Paper opened a tape factory in Jamaica, and Ruyi Textile opened an embroidery factory in Jamaica..."

"Given this background, it's not surprising that Jamaica has sided with the Tri-system."

William understood, and then asked, "If the main force of the G21 in West Africa rushes over, should we open fire?"

"Avoid firing."

Thus, William got what he wanted. Now, facing a parachute landing, the West African Legion will certainly strictly adhere to the orders of Defense Chief Robert Gates: avoid firing.

soon.

Parachutes filled the sky, covering the earth, and the 12 legions of the 21st Group of West African States successfully arrived at their respective combat zones.

This move also divided Mexico in two, creating a situation of north-south confrontation.

To William's great relief, the enemy did not attack immediately, but instead dug trenches and built defensive lines...

...

the other side.

Texas.

Laredo, a city on the US-Mexico border.

The Texas National Guard was deployed to Mexico, where only a fraction of the country's military equipment remained, with only the police system at all levels.

Against this backdrop, the influx of migrants, gangs, ruthless individuals, and tyrants from Mexico has become increasingly rampant.

As a result, a fierce gunfight broke out in the Ten Mile Mall in downtown Laredo in the early hours of February 13.

The incident was caused by migrants who had moved to the area rushing into the supermarket to buy things for free, which greatly angered the local residents, who then spontaneously organized to arrest the migrants who were buying things for free.

Unexpectedly, a few down-on-their-luck members among the refugees caused a conflict between the local residents and the owls, and the owls accidentally injured a priest.

Generally speaking, let alone accidentally injuring a priest, even killing a priest wouldn't have much of an impact.

But this priest was actually a missionary deployed by the Tijuana Corporation in Texas, also known as the Oracle.

Upon hearing that the oracle was wounded, followers of David Engsger flocked from all directions to engage in a fierce battle with the reinforcements.

The two sides exchanged fire for half an hour, suffering casualties on both sides, before dispersing.

This matter should have ended there.

But David Engsger, who was far away in California, received a divine revelation.

This oracle originated from a prayer made by an oracle to the gods when he was wounded by an owl.

The prayer was simple: "God will judge you believers!"

The oracle David received was simple: "Judgment of the owl!"

Tijuana Corporation then deployed 2 shipyard security personnel, 5 shipbuilding engineers, and withdrew 3 sailor commandos from Mexico. Using Tijuana Corporation’s branches, offices, churches, and mission sites in various states, they launched indiscriminate trials against all the swindlers.

At this time, Mexican owls, including those from Latin America, almost all flocked to North America for refuge.

The 3-strong sailor commando unit that had entered Mexico suddenly turned back, effectively cutting off the enemy's path.

Now, almost the entire Tijuana Group's security personnel, engineers, branch office employees, and millions of believers have left...

In just one morning, the homeless, gangs, and drug lords that filled the streets vanished in the blink of an eye.

Some were shot dead in the street, some were arrested and burned at the stake, and some went into hiding and dared not show their faces.

But the trial is not over.

Unable to find the owls that had flooded in from Mexico, the believers, in order to express their loyalty and reverence to their gods, began to expose the owls native to North America.

Some were in residential areas, some in police stations, some in various schools, and some were hidden in National Guard bases...

Thus, Tijuana Corporation's Marine Commando swept across various locations.

Chug tug tug…

Da da da…

boom!
...

Before dawn, the news reached the Pentagon.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has been working for three days and two nights without rest due to deployments in Mexico, Southeast Asia, and the Caucasus, as well as the question of whether to divert troops from overseas bases to attack West Africa.

Upon suddenly hearing that David Ensger's men were up to something, my mind went blank, and I almost fainted.

Compared to the 21 West African Group, the Tijuana Group is a bigger headache.

Because David Ensger is even more insane than Yu Sanyuan; he's a genuine madman.

Now a divine oracle has suddenly appeared…

If nothing unexpected happens, the other party really dares to wipe out Xiao.

The problem is that, regardless of profits or taxes, they are all part of the income of federal capital.

Yes, there are taxes too.

Moreover, theft, robbery, embezzlement, murder, arson, and other crimes also require taxation.

If David Engsger were to eradicate the owls, it would deprive federal capital of a major source of revenue.

Furthermore, once addicts lose their addiction, they will inevitably go berserk, which will in turn affect public order.

In the border states with the highest concentration of drug addicts, almost all of the National Guard has already been deployed, and relying solely on the police to maintain order is clearly unrealistic.

However, it is even more impractical to divert National Guard troops from other states or troops from the North American mainland to help in border states.

Because in North America, a 'state' is an independent entity, a member of the federation, similar to a constituent republic.

If National Guard troops from other states are sent there, the border states of the United States and Mexico might mistakenly believe that the federal government is planning to seize power.

Then the National Guard troops sent to Mexico were urgently withdrawn, completely disrupting the federal capital's deployment in Mexico.

No, at this point, the border states between the US and Mexico may have already begun contacting their respective National Guard units, requesting a withdrawal.

After all, the National Guard in the border states of the United States and Mexico is primarily concerned with the interests of those states.

They were only accompanying the federal government's elite forces into Mexico to provide assistance.

Robert Gates rubbed his buzzing head and looked at the head of the RAND Corporation.

"Perhaps we need to redeploy troops stationed at overseas bases in Europe to Latin America."

The latter shook his head in denial, saying, "This would disrupt our deployment in Europe."

"Are we just going to stand by and watch the National Guard withdraw from the US-Mexico border states, leaving less than 10 troops to fight against 28 troops from West Africa and the 20-strong agricultural army from the oil-producing countries that are about to arrive? At that time, even if there is no fighting, those big, strong black fat men will use their fists to push the front line to our border!"

“Things aren’t so bad; we can talk to David.”

"Persuade David? Will he listen to you or the oracle?"

"."

"I need to immediately withdraw 5 troops from Europe and 5 troops from West Asia."

The RAND Corporation representative shook his head again, "If reinforcements are necessary, we can draw Self-Defense Force troops from Japan."

Robert Gates' eyes lit up. "Excellent suggestion!"
