960 Sky Road
Captain Zhong's words aroused Ye Han's vigilance, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the question of the whereabouts of the army involved the secrets of the military, and Ye Han felt that it was necessary to check the bottom of this Captain Zhong.
It is said that the upper authorities can arrange for the surname Zhong to come over, this person should be very reliable!
"If you want me to say it's not necessary, it's not necessary." Captain Zhong rubbed the soles of his feet, "There are missiles and cannons on the island, and there are several warships, so it's too wasteful to put so many people on it." ”
Ye Han shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer, Captain Zhong seemed to understand that his words had crossed the line, and rationally changed the topic.
The two of them chatted a few more words, but it was stopped when Captain Zhong took the initiative to leave.
In the next few days, Captain Zhong seemed to deliberately avoid Ye Han, and the two hardly met again.
Ye Han didn't have the heart to explore, and directly reported his suspicions to his superiors.
On December 13, 2029, after more than 80 hours of non-stop sailing, the fleet finally arrived at Terrace Island in the morning.
When the troops set off, Ye Han was still worried about whether there would be bad weather such as storms on the way, but his worries were really unnecessary, and now it was almost the end of the year.
After the fleet arrived, the Yuzhu received the notice of port call as soon as possible, which surprised Captain Zhong...... He didn't come back to Ladder Island for the first time, and he had never been treated like this before.
Ye Han had already informed the whole army to prepare for departure, and when the Yuzhu docked at the port, everyone stayed in the car in the cargo hold and waited silently.
There was a sudden noise in the cargo hold, the heavy bulkhead slowly opened, the bright sunlight penetrated into the cargo hold, and the lights on the roof of the cabin suddenly became dispensable.
"Let's go!" Ye Han gave an order, and the No. 1 car took the lead out of the cabin, towering into the sky...... No, the rail elevator that runs through the sky immediately catches everyone's eye.
Anyone who saw it for the first time would be shocked by his majesty, even if Ye Han had seen a similar scene on Europa Zero.
The cable of the Earth Orbit elevator is much thicker than that of the Callisto, and the ground facilities are extremely complete, with eight platforms facing each other, and even the Sky Train is much stronger than those on Callisto.
The change in the space train is not only a technical improvement, but also directly related to the diameter of the cable - a thicker cable means a stronger pull, and the capacity of the space train has been greatly increased.
The military did not give this unit any time to recuperate, and a team of more than 2,000 people, hundreds of military vehicles, immediately drove to the platform according to the instructions after driving out of the ro-ro ship, and after verifying their identity, Ye Han gave an order, and all the officers and soldiers worked together to carry the equipment on the car onto the air and space train as quickly as possible.
Twenty minutes later, all the materials were transferred, and the team of more than 2,000 people plus equipment filled the four trains, and everyone strictly followed Ye Han's orders, and all of them honestly stayed on the car and waited for departure.
At this moment, another fleet of ships came over the sea, one of the cruise ships flying the Stars and Stripes was given priority to port of call, and in a short time, a group of heavily armed American GIs were added to the docks.
Ye Han roughly estimated that the number of American GIs was more than that of the Airborne Division, and the specific number of people could not be seen, about two thousand five to three thousand.
He couldn't help but be amazed, did Lao Mei put money into the Jupiter mission?
The next cruise ship to call at the port came from England, and the total number of people was not as large as that of the American army, but it was not less than two thousand.
There were still so many boats on the sea, and Ye Han suddenly had a bad premonition.
As expected, the fleet that had just arrived was filled with troops from various member states of the Al Qaeda group, and as the ships of each country docked one by one, the port was soon filled with groups of motorized infantry armed to the hair.
More than a dozen member countries of the al-Qaeda group have sent at least a few hundred people, and the total number of troops combined is 20,000 people.
Ye Han had always thought that the main force of the sneak attack plan was the resistance group, and the airborne division was just following the situation, but now when he saw the troops sent by the al-Qaeda, he suddenly realized how determined the countries were - the orbital airborne troops were the essence of the whole army, and the base group would never just pick a unit and send it over to deal with the errand.
Just thinking about it, the sky train received the order to depart, the No. 3 car where Ye Han was and the No. 7 car on the opposite side started together, and the two trains soon converged on the cable and climbed up at an extremely stable speed.
The self-used air and sky train is no longer a fully enclosed stuffy tank type, but is equipped with many round portholes like ordinary trains, through which you can see the scene in all directions.
The warriors curiously squeezed to the porthole to look out, and as the height increased, the huge ladder island became smaller and smaller in everyone's sight, and the blue sea gradually occupied everyone's field of vision.
I don't know if it's an illusion of the eyes, the horizon seems to be getting more and more curved.
Ten minutes after departure, several meteors falling from the sky attracted the attention of the soldiers, but after a while, the parachute opened behind the meteor's buttocks, and everyone realized that it was not a meteor at all, but a train carriage thrown from space.
The soldiers watched as the carriages got lower and lower, and finally landed on the sea in the distance, and several recovery boats immediately set off from Terrace Island to salvage the carriages.
The same thought comes to the minds of many people: How many times have these trains been thrown?
Instead of being curious about the answer, they are worried about the safety hazards of the train after repeated use...... It's a bit unfounded, but it's also human.
The bloody drama of the wrecked dog did not take place, and more than four hours later, the train arrived at the low-gauge pier on time.
Because of the strong gravitational pull of the earth, the low-orbit dock of the Earth orbit elevator is located at an altitude of more than 700 kilometers, much higher than that of Europa.
The design of the low-gauge terminal is much the same, but it is much larger. After the train stopped, Ye Han immediately organized the troops to transfer to the traffic boats, and the team of more than 1,000 people filled more than 40 traffic boats.
After waiting patiently for a while, the transport boat jumped out of the airport, accelerated in the same roller coaster style, and the transport boat turned into level flight, and soon joined up with the assault ship that had arrived to meet it.
The assault ship is a new type of landing ship redesigned for the Jupiter mission, which does not have the ability to land planets, has an average tonnage, and can only be considered a medium-sized warship, and an assault ship just fits an airborne regiment.
The military could have built enough large assault ships to carry an entire airborne division, but such an assault ship would be a large battleship comparable to an aerospace carrier, which was too eye-catching, and if something went wrong, it would cost a whole division.
Medium-sized ships can not only reduce the difficulty and cycle of construction, but more importantly, you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket, so as not to let the aliens end up in a pot.
