Chapter 354: Ten Days of Unrest

Over the next few days, the steel hammer came out day and night, and went on a grand scale to upgrade those advanced fighters in the aircraft cemetery.

Chen Xin is not idle, he has more important things to do.

Retrofitting these aircraft is simple for owning steel hammers, but how to fill them up with jet fuel without being detected is a very big problem.

Without aviation fuel, no matter how advanced these planes are, they are just a lump of iron, and they can't fly at all.

Fortunately, the aircraft cemetery covers a very large area, covering more than ten square kilometers, but the number of US troops stationed in it is very limited, and the barracks are located near the PIMA Aviation Museum, so there is no way to monitor such a large area at all times.

In fact, the Americans did not think to keep an eye on the aircraft cemetery, which is located deep in the desert, surrounded by only two roads, and is inaccessible, and no one expected that anyone would pay attention to the planes in it.

Besides, they are not completely undefended, and the aircraft cemetery is surrounded not only by high-voltage barbed wire, but also by hundreds of surveillance cameras, which makes it a completely unsolvable situation for the average person with crooked thoughts.

But as far as the steel hammer is concerned, on the contrary, the storage of surveillance cameras and barbed wire has greatly reduced the vigilance of the US military, but there is no obstacle to Chen Xin's operation.

For more than ten days, Chen Xin commanded the ten anthropomorphic aircraft to drive the tanker trucks from the oil storage depot of the Continental Fuel Company every day, drive the tanker trucks to the outskirts of Tucson, and then wait for nightfall to make a gap in the barbed wire fence to fill up the repaired planes with fuel, and then retreat in the early hours of the morning.

No one is interested in the traffic of these tanker trucks, and Davis Monson Air Force Base, which is an airfield itself and a well-known tourist attraction, is a normal sight to be near the aircraft cemetery.

…………

In the past ten days since Chen Xin disappeared, there have been many seemingly unrelated news in the world.

For example, a reporter from Russian state television broke the news that the air raid on Australia on 1 May was a false alarm by the US missile defense system, and that Australia was nothing more than a fish in the pond.

He also quoted Russian space experts as saying that the Americans were not observed conducting anti-satellite tests that day.

The space authorities of countries such as Europe, China and India have rarely remained silent about this rumor, so it has not caused too many waves.

In addition, a senior official of the energy system in country C was suddenly taken away for investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, which triggered an earthquake in the energy system, and in less than ten days, more than a dozen senior officials were dismissed.

Chen Xin didn't know that this incident was caused by the butterfly wings he had lifted, and his eyes were also attracted by another major event.

On 4 May, the United States Congress passed a resolution declaring that it did not recognize the legitimacy of the Somali Republic and called it an evil regime of terror.

On the same day, U.S. President O'Guanhai said in a televised speech that the United States would launch air strikes against Somali pirates, and the next day, Britain, France, Germany and other countries responded to follow suit.

The Rafale fighters aboard the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which had been cruising in the Mediterranean Sea, soon had a new mission: to support the Ethiopian Army's offensive on Mogadishu's northern front while carrying out air strikes on Libya.

At the same time, France also opened an air base in Djibouti for British and American warplanes to rest and resupply.

In the other direction, the U.S. Navy's aircraft carriers USS Roosevelt and USS Lincoln are close to the northeast coast of Africa to support the Kenyan Army, which is attacking Kirimayo.

The rapid involvement of the three Western powers quickly worsened the situation in Somalia, with many tribes that had declared their allegiance to the new government declaring neutrality. Even senior officials who have already served in the new government are showing signs of instability.

Sensing the crisis, Ahdi ordered his troops to be reduced to pieces to avoid coalition air raids, and on the other hand, he asked Chen Xin for help.

When Ahad was anxious to inform Chen Xin of this, Chen Xin just smiled, and then told Ahadi to record the list of these people, and wait until the time was ripe.

Ahdi didn't know when the time was ripe, but out of trust in Chen Xin, he chose to stick to it.

Chen Xin can not care about the situation in Somalia, but on the other hand, the crisis has to make Chen Xin pay attention.

On May 8, Chen Xin received news from Osborne that Transwarp's accounts in the United States and Britain had been frozen.

Originally, Transwarp's headquarters in the UK was also investigated by the British tax department, but fortunately, Osborne heard that Chen Xinjian went to Ukraine to recruit retired pilots, and escaped the pursuit of the British police.

At the same time, negotiations between Cybertron Digital and Warner Group on the expansion of The Wandering Earth into the United States were abruptly interrupted.

All of them made Chen Xin realize that the secret of the Transwarp Group might not be kept. (To be continued......)
