The distance between Aqiong Khan and Meili Nation was not short, and it took some time for the fleet to sail. In the spirit of speed being paramount, Jing Mingqiu first took people by transport plane to provide advance support.
At the capital airport of Aqiong Khan, three heavy transport planes from Long Country were circling the airport, searching for a suitable landing angle. Suddenly, over a hundred dazzling bursts of light erupted outside the airport.
Immediately after, red lights flashed in the cockpit of the Long Country transport planes, and a sharp alarm sounded.
"Warning, warning, large number of rockets detected!"
"Warning, warning, large number of rockets detected!"
"Warning, warning, large number of rockets detected!"
Seeing the fighter jets about to be hit by rockets, the pilot quickly pulled the control stick all the way back, attempting an emergency climb.
Unfortunately, due to the landing ahead, the transport plane's speed was too low. Coupled with being fully loaded, even though the engines were running at overload, the climbing speed was extremely slow. They were about to be shattered by the rockets!
Joseph Biden watched this scene through a remote live broadcast and smiled with satisfaction. He beckoned his secretary to pour him a glass of 1982 red wine, preparing to witness the Long Country transport planes turn into fireballs.
However, the Long Country strategic department had anticipated such a situation. At this critical moment, Jing Mingqiu made his move!
He directly pulled open the transport plane's cabin door, leaped out, and as he descended, he tapped his right hand repeatedly, sending out over a hundred steel needles. Instantly, all the rockets were detonated!
Seeing the first wave of attacks fail, the terrorist organizations ambushing around the airport took out spare rockets, mounted them on the stands, and prepared to repeat their actions. Just as they were about to fire again.
The Long Country transport planes suddenly lowered their altitude and performed an ultra-low-altitude pass around the airport.
At the same time, the transport planes' cabin doors opened again. Thirty Long Country soldiers, clad in full mechs, followed Jing Mingqiu's lead and jumped down.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Without any weapons, the mechs and soldiers, weighing over 300 pounds combined, plummeted from a height of over twenty meters. A mere graze would injure, and contact would kill!
The terrorists attempted to counterattack, but their guns were worse than fire pokers.
No matter how desperately they pulled the triggers, the bullets fired were not only incapable of killing people but couldn't even scratch a single hair on the Long Country soldiers. It was a futile effort, with only a few weak sparks erupting from the mechs.
From the moment the terrorist organization controlled by Joseph Biden launched their attack to their complete annihilation, not even five minutes had passed.
While capturing the leader of the terrorist organization, Jing Mingqiu discovered him video chatting with Joseph Biden.
"Heh heh," Jing Mingqiu raised his phone, flipped the camera, pulled down his faceplate, and looked at the enraged Joseph Biden on the other end.
"Mr. President of Meili Nation, I really like this welcome gift of yours. What goes around comes around, and I've prepared a welcome gift for you. I hope you'll like it?"
Joseph Biden glared at Jing Mingqiu's mocking expression, his eyes spewing fire. "Jing Mingqiu, don't be arrogant. I'm telling you..."
"Snap!"
Jing Mingqiu, too lazy to listen to Joseph Biden's blustering, simply crushed the phone, letting him rage and impotently fume in the White House.
"We are very sorry!" Just as Jing Mingqiu and his team were cleaning up the battlefield, the interim Prime Minister of Aqiong Khan, Hafizoh Sming, along with a group of high-ranking officials, cautiously approached.
"We also did not expect that those terrorist organizations would be so heinous as to dare to launch an attack at the capital airport."
Jing Mingqiu waved his hand dismissively. "Ordinary terrorists certainly wouldn't have this kind of courage, but who is supporting them behind the scenes if not the President of Meili Nation. This is not your fault; you are also a victim."
Interim Prime Minister Hafizoh Sming's face was full of sincerity, with a hint of tears in his eyes. "Thank you for your understanding. For years, Meili Nation has been burning, killing, and plundering here, acting with impunity. We haven't slept or eaten well every day, and we've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally, you have arrived..."
Jing Mingqiu was not interested in watching a performance and directly interrupted his emotional speech. "Alright, enough with the nonsense. Immediately count your personnel and go with us to the terrorists' stronghold to completely eliminate them."
"Ah!" Hafizoh Sming was stunned. "Friends from Long Country, you have traveled a long distance and are weary from your journey. We have already prepared a banquet in advance to welcome you and let you rest before setting off!"
Jing Mingqiu firmly refused the invitation from Hafizoh Sming.
"You're using that idiom quite well. There's no need for such trouble. We are here to fight, not to be guests. Many innocent civilians are suffering under the oppression of terrorists right now. The sooner we act, the sooner they will be liberated!"
"But," Hafizoh Sming looked troubled. "We didn't know we were going to fight today, and the army hasn't had time to assemble, nor have vehicles been prepared!"
Jing Mingqiu casually waved his hand. "We don't need so many people. You just bring a few dozen people to receive the bases. As for vehicles, that's a bit of a problem. We came in a hurry and didn't bring large troop carriers."
Sensing Jing Mingqiu's difficulty, Hafizoh Sming quickly showed goodwill. "How about this! Friends from Long Country, you eat first, and I'll immediately mobilize vehicles."
Jing Mingqiu did not immediately agree but asked further, "How long will it take you to mobilize vehicles now?"
"Simply mobilizing the vehicles will take a day. However, the important oil-producing areas within Aqiong Khan are under the control of those terrorist organizations. Preparing enough oil will take at least a week."
"Too slow," Jing Mingqiu frowned. "Mr. Prime Minister, would you mind if we converted your cars to use another energy source as fuel?"
Hafizoh Sming was taken aback. "My friend, do you mean converting them to electric vehicles? Your idea is very good, but because of the fierce bombing by Meili Nation earlier, a lot of infrastructure has been destroyed, and the power supply is very tight!"
"They are indeed electric vehicles, but," Jing Mingqiu took out a small transparent square from his embrace. "They don't use traditional lead-acid batteries, but a new type of crystal battery that is clean, efficient, and replaceable."
"This single battery can support an ordinary family car with a range of over a thousand kilometers, which is three to five times that of traditional car batteries. We prepared a lot to power the mechs, and now they are being put to good use."
Hafizoh Sming couldn't believe that the transparent square, not much bigger than his fist, contained such powerful energy.
However, he had no intention of standing up and questioning it. In the end, it was just a few scrapped cars, which were nothing compared to the friendship with Long Country.
Therefore, he readily agreed and personally led the way to the parking lot.
Looking at the five dilapidated military trucks, with their missing parts and broken limbs, Jing Mingqiu's mouth twitched involuntarily. He strongly suspected that these cars might fall apart halfway to their destination.
"I'm very sorry," Hafizoh Sming said with a bitter expression. "Due to years of war, our country's industry is completely ruined, and our import and export trade has been blocked. These few trucks were reluctantly pieced together by us using salvaged parts!"
While he was speaking, Jing Mingqiu scanned the dilapidated trucks. Looking at the scan results, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wait a minute..."
