Chapter 192 What’s the Difference?
Callisto, the pioneer base.
When the Punisher's sky-blocking hull arrived, Mohan could say with certainty that his heart rate was definitely higher than any previous emergency rate.
It's too big!
The 2000-meter-long hull is no longer comparable to the size of the super aircraft carriers that once sailed on the Blue Star Sea.
After the spaceship slowly landed in the huge port of the Pioneer Base, even the Colossus not far away looked petite and exquisite.
Inside the base, tens of thousands of South Australian workers were swarming around the windows, watching this scene in amazement.
The door at the rear of the Punisher opened. Then, space soldiers dressed in military green nano-combat uniforms began to line up and disembark in an orderly manner.
Soon, the vast landing field was filled with 2000 space soldiers.
And higher in the sky, 20 Dragon B-type warships were hovering over the base in formation, keeping a close eye on the ground and the surrounding environment.
Li Jian stood in the square, looking at the thousands of space soldiers in neat formation in front of him. Whenever he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel infinite heroism and pride in his heart.
However, he did not immediately disband the formation, nor did he give any orders. He just stood there quietly in the square with the other soldiers, standing at attention, as if waiting for something.
This silent and solemn scene in the square brought great shock to the members of the Workers' Association.
Mohan and his deputy trotted from the base directly to Li Jian. Looking at the army in front of him that seemed to be made up of robots, even though he knew that these people would not hurt him, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart at this moment.
"Hello, Colonel Li. I am Mohan, the head of the base. I am very sorry that due to my negligence in management, you and your troops have to travel a long way."
Hearing this, Li Jian turned his head and looked at him, his expression still serious.
"Director Mo, my department has been ordered to maintain order at the scene and will be responsible for escorting them back to Blue Star. If you have any questions, please explain them now."
His attitude wasn't cold, but it wasn't enthusiastic either.
Seeing this, Mohan subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but then he found that his whole body was covered with a layer of nano-coat, so there was no sweat at all.
"No problem, no problem. I will fully cooperate with you."
After Mohan finished speaking, seeing that Li Jian had nothing to say, he smiled awkwardly and said quickly: "Then I will go back and arrange it. Thank you Captain Li and your subordinates for your hard work."
Li Jian turned his head and shook his head: "Wait a moment."
Then he turned his eyes to the line in front of him and said loudly, "Everyone in the first team, step out and follow the captains into the base to maintain order."
Following his order, a 200-man squad on the far right of the team slowly and uniformly marched towards the base, led by team leaders.
Li Jian then said to Mohan: "If you have any questions, just communicate with the captain directly."
Upon hearing this, Mo Han nodded repeatedly, and then returned to the base with his silent deputy as if he was running away.
The next thing is simple.
In front of the fully armed Daxia Space Force, tens of thousands of mining workers who joined the Workers' Rights Association could not make any waves at all.
After dozens of Gale ships arrived, the crowd began to be escorted aboard.
From now on, all the wages they have earned at the Pioneer Base in the past year will be confiscated by Daxia, and their three generations of direct relatives will be permanently blacklisted by Daxia and Xinghai.
No one dared to resist. They really believed that the Great Xia Space Force would subdue these unarmed miners in an instant without hesitation like a beast. The fleet began to slowly rise into the air.
Here, under the leadership of Li Jian, 2000 space forces returned to the Punisher.
Then the miniature auxiliary thrust engine under the ship began to generate power, and not far away, in Mohan's shocked eyes, this huge ship began to slowly rise into the air. After a few minutes, it merged with the Dragonite B at a higher altitude and flew out into outer space in a mighty manner.
"Director Mo, let's go back to the base. The next batch of workers arranged by Chief Jin is on the way. They are expected to arrive in ten days."
Mohan nodded silently and walked towards the base without saying a word.
"David, you've been with me for so many years. Tell me, why did Daxia suddenly become like this?"
At the gate of the base, Mohan suddenly stopped and looked at his deputy who had followed him for many years with a heavy face.
The deputy named David was stunned when he heard this, then slowly shook his head and said, "Sir, these are not important anymore. In other words, do you think the United States still has a chance to surpass them now?"
Hearing his answer, Mohan couldn't help but sneer.
"They? Are they really that much better than us in South Australia now? After Mark retired, he founded a space tourism company in Daxia. How much of his shares in Spieth did he cash out? All of them were invested in this travel company that is now Daxia."
David shook his head slowly. He didn't know the inside story.
Seeing this, Mohan sighed and then walked into the base.
Mark is extremely smart and also very bold.
After retiring, the former president cashed out almost all of his personal shares and then invested them all in Daxia to establish a space tourism company.
If that's okay.
The most admirable thing about Mark is that, with Xinghai holding 51% and himself holding 49%, he entrusted the entire company to the "artificial intelligence" A-Dai to be responsible for its operation and management.
Afterwards, he was sent to the hibernation chamber on the Conqueror and disappeared from the world's sight.
Today, under the operation of Ah Dai, the company has grown rapidly with a one-day trip to outer space costing 10,000 yuan.
What surprised Mohan the most was that due to equity issues, this company had already become a subsidiary of Daxia.
Is Mark really so bold as to hand over all his assets acquired over the years to Xinghai?
He doesn't know.
But he knew one thing, Xinghai was really rich.
After he left, Spieth's stock price fell to a low point in the past few years, and the new president was a female president who was only 40 years old.
After she took office, faced with an extremely depressed domestic economy and the endless expectations of the people, the United States changed its usual behavior. Its military-industrial enterprises began to exert their strength and once again raised the butcher knife for external reaping.
The only difference this time is that the butcher's knife is placed on the necks of all Belarusian Treaty member states and their former peripheral member partners.
It took decades for small countries and Austronesian nations to restore their once collapsed economies to normal development.
But faced with such shameless behavior, they could only shoulder their own responsibilities and start bleeding passively.
