In mid-April, the Ukrainian Civil War was at its peak. Mercenaries continuously crossed the Polish border and entered the Ukrainian region to support the pro-Western Poroshenko government. In this war, Arrow entered the attention of the international community for the first time. This mercenary organization with combat effectiveness comparable to the regular army possessed tanks, artillery, and armed helicopters. On the battlefield, they ignored any international law and used the cruelest means to kill their enemies.
However, in this regard, the UA and Europe and other countries only symbolically condemned them. No one would use international law to prosecute a private company that didn't even know where it was registered. This set of double standards was the same as they did in Iraq, putting the blame on the already notorious private military contractors.
There were rumors that Celestial Trade would intervene in this war. However, other than a train full of supplies being pulled to the Russian-Ukrainian border, there was no news of Celestial Trade sending troops. At first, the Ukrainian government also anxiously condemned Celestial Trade, but when they found that Celestial Trade didn't make any obvious moves, they slightly relaxed.
As a dog raised by the Freemasonry, Willie Society desperately collected intelligence in Russia and kept an eye on Celestial Trade's movements. They weren't naive enough to think that Jiang Chen was just joking with them. Their master, Carmen, knew better than anyone that Jiang Chen was capable of doing anything.
In late April, after the employment contract with the Donetsk Chocolate Farm was officially signed, Celestial Trade completed the war plan and all troop deployments within three days.
In Celestial City 36,000 kilometers away, a black transport ship left the port from the side.
At first glance, this spacecraft was somewhat similar to the Russian-designed Duke Oleg. It was also a rectangular design with edges and corners, and it also had a quadruple engine at the rear. But if you looked closer, you could still see the differences between the two. Celestial Trade's transport ship was significantly larger than the Duke Oleg, and the quadruple engine at the rear was not chemically powered, but based on the principle of electric propulsion.
After leaving the port, the transport ship turned around, reduced its speed, and followed the flight track below the synchronous orbit. It flew to the 30 degrees east longitude area, then accelerated and returned to the synchronous orbit.
In the 30 degrees east longitude airspace, there were a total of ten transport ships hovering. These transport ships were pulled by robotic arms and arranged side by side, like a bamboo raft on the synchronous orbit.
Leaning against the window of the transport ship, Zhang Feng, who had put on the kinetic skeleton, glanced at the scenery outside.
Overlooking from here, Europe was brightly lit. However, their destination had nothing to do with the center of the prosperous world, but the darkest corner, Ukraine, which was only dotted with artillery.
"Jumping from a height of more than 30,000 kilometers, isn't it exciting? Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid, I'm just going back home. "
Zhang Feng looked at him a few more times but didn't say anything. Their team's origins could be said to be diverse. The only thing they had in common was that there was not a single recruit standing here.
At this time, a shadow slowly approached.
Zhang Feng glanced at his arm and happened to see the red signal light on the watch embedded in the exoskeleton arm guard.
Time was up.
"The last bus is here. Good luck." Zhang Feng patted the Slavic boy's arm, picked up the rifle leaning on the side, buckled his helmet, stretched his stiff neck, and walked in the direction of the warehouse.
In order to carry out this large-scale airborne mission, Ivan even borrowed the transport ships between Celestial City and the Moon Colony.

When the last transport ship entered the formation, the entire transport ship fleet began to move like a chemical reaction. Prismatic iron boxes floated out of the hatch like dumplings. Short flames spurted from the gaps in the necks, and they fell to Earth one after another.
30,000 kilometers below, in the northern suburbs of the city of Donetsk, the night drew the curtain of the battlefield. Trenches divided the streets on the outskirts of the city, and from time to time, green tracers shot out from the bunkers, shuttling between the positions. Sporadic sniper shots, like demons, took away lives one by one.
The sound of artillery fire in the distance sounded from time to time, and the soldiers in the trenches were used to it. The shells plowed through every inch of the land here, and the black scorch marks were like scars, branded in every corner of the city.
This line of defense was the last lifeline of the civilian armed forces. It directly determined whether the Donetsk People's Republic would cross the border behind it and degenerate from an elected government to a government in exile.
Fifteen kilometers to NATO, in the artillery position of the Ukrainian government forces, the 11th Artillery Brigade of the Fifth Infantry Division was deployed here. An hour ago, they received orders to open fire on the northern suburbs of Donetsk and provide fire support to the Arrow mercenaries who were attacking the civilian armed forces.
"Look! What is that!? "A Ukrainian soldier pointed to the sky and screamed.
Bright spots fell from the sky, and from a distance, it looked like a sky lantern, but these "lanterns" were too tall and too dazzling.
"Sh * t! Are they rockets from the Russians?! No … it doesn't look like it … Damn, what are those things?! "Another Ukrainian soldier cursed nervously.
The bright spots didn't give them much time to prepare. Along with the deafening roar, the seemingly burning airdrop cabins broke through the sound barrier, tore open the curtain of the night, and fell on the artillery position of the Ukrainian government forces.
A self-propelled artillery was directly hit by the airdrop cabin and was smashed into scrap metal. The wide turret sank into the body of the vehicle. High-pressure steam rushed out of the prismatic iron box, and the hatch suddenly bounced forward. Four soldiers in kinetic skeletons drilled out from four directions and rushed to the nearest bunker.
The airdrop cabins fell one after another and divided the Ukrainian army's position like flowers blooming on the ground. The numbered helmets marked the identity of the allies, and the night vision goggles made the dark battlefield as clear as day. In the chaos, explosions sounded one after another, drowning out the screams and wails of pain.
The artillery from the north stopped abruptly, and the resistance of the civilian armed forces was reinvigorated. After paying a lot of casualties, the mercenaries of Arrow had to retreat.
At the same time, an angry roar sounded in the command room dozens of kilometers away.
With bloodshot eyes, the officer grabbed the collar of the messenger and roared with spittle flying everywhere.
"The 11th Artillery Brigade was wiped out? Russian Airborne Troops? Without planes, how could there be Airborne Troops! "
"No, I, I don't know." The soldier's facial muscles were twisted together, and he looked like he was about to cry.
At this moment, the man who had been standing next to him without saying a word suddenly spoke.
"Not Russians."
The officer loosened his grip on the soldier's collar, turned around, looked at the man, and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? Not Russians? Do you want to say it's your people? "
"It's Celestial Trade," the man said. "We may be in trouble."
