"Before dawn today, we detected a powerful energy wave in Paris. Although the UDF doesn't yet know what this means, the result indicates that our enemy has been completely incapacitated, including Russia and..."
Inside the car, the radio was broadcasting a declaration of some unexpected victory.
Outside the car, the countryside roads were bathed in the bright morning light.
However, the villages on both sides of the road were already deserted, and the trees that had not yet grown green leaves made the area look extremely desolate.
At this moment, Sui Yang was sitting in the back seat, using a tablet computer to read the latest information.
Just as the radio broadcast stated, when he actively reset and returned to yesterday, the mimicry that was ravaging Earth Zero One crashed directly and was completely unable to stop the UDF's full-scale counterattack.
But to be honest, even if he couldn't actively reset it, Sui Yang would force himself to do so for a simple and clear reason to fulfill his promise of 'see you yesterday'.
Because all those involved in the raid on Paris were his confidants, it was the foundation of his ability to maintain firm control over Atlas.
They claim to be contractors working with the military, but they are actually mercenaries who are only after money.
Internally, these soldiers are members of the ALTAS Response Service, or ARS for short, and they have their own unique ranks and numbers.
The earliest ARS can be traced back to the late 19th century. Its prototype was a security team led by Arthur Morgan and others, who were adopted and raised by Sui Yang
After Atlas was officially established and gradually entered the military industry, the security team gradually transformed into a military style organizational unit, namely ARS,
The elite members of ARS are mostly descendants of Arthur Morgan and others, and they receive specialized academic education and physical training from a young age.
The ordinary members of ARS were also deliberately selected.
For example, a veteran who has distinguished himself in battle but faces bankruptcy due to family misfortunes and being abandoned by the federal government and society.
Atlas will provide these veterans with salaries and benefits far exceeding those of the federal army, and will also provide the best medical care.
Of course, before Atlas officially hires these veterans, the personnel department and. investigators will thoroughly investigate their interpersonal relationships, spending habits, and attitudes toward their families.
The selected veterans, facing dire straits, are given a new lease on life thanks to Atlas, or rather, to Sui Yang. They even gain recognition and a stage to showcase their skills.
His loyalty is self-evident.
Since its inception, ARS has assisted Atlas in secretly dealing with numerous threats and has also been employed by the US military to carry out some relatively dangerous missions for them.
The current ARS has a total of six companies, with a number of personnel fluctuating between 3,500 and 3,600.
The First Company was the elite of the elite, possessing the best individual equipment and more authority. They were known within Atlas as Hunters, and it was they who assisted Sui Yang in the raid on Paris.
The second, third, and fourth were infantry companies, while the fifth and sixth were armored and air companies.
Typically, the second through sixth companies are mixed together and deployed at Atlas's overseas bases to ensure the safety of overseas assets, factories and employees, and to have the capability to suppress low to medium intensity conflicts.
The air wing is a unique component of Atlas, possessing numerous air vehicles, enabling ARS to rapidly transfer and deploy in Africa, the Middle East, South America, and other regions.
UH-1H and CH-53E aircraft, which were responsible for transporting the Hunter Company, and AH-1W aircraft, which were responsible for escorting them, belonged to the Sixth Air Company.
In addition to conventional transport vehicles, the air wing also possesses several AC-130 gunships, as well as A-10 Warthog attack aircraft and F-16 Fighting Falcon multi-role fighters, which were acquired through unconventional means but are legal and compliant.
This allows ARS operating in Africa, the Middle East, South America, and other regions to call in air wing bombing when facing formidable enemies or fortifications.
Atlas currently has three military bases in Kenya in East Africa, Bolivia in South America, and the border area between Syria and Iraq.
If you include outposts, base stations, and regular contracted armed security, Atlas would need to spend at least $1.8 billion annually to maintain the normal operation of all its military units.
Last year, from January to December 1992, Atlas spent $1.92 billion in this area.
However, this cost is not fixed and can fluctuate depending on factors such as the desire to replace equipment, purchase new vehicles, or currency devaluation within a given year.
However, one thing is certain: the cost of military spending will continue to rise, but the scenario of buying a coffee cup for $1,300 is absolutely impossible to happen within Atlas.
Furthermore, Sui Yang raised a large amount of cash between 1988 and 1991, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991, he recycled a large amount of military equipment in Eastern Europe at extremely low prices.
Due to various limitations, Atlas could only buy back the equipment at low prices and sell it at high prices, just like in Lord of War, and was unable to completely take possession of these items.
Fortunately, given Atlas's friendly relations with other arms dealers, its status as a valued customer, and its frequent sponsorship of the U.S. military, Atlas turned a blind eye to its recruitment of a large number of former Soviet scientists.
Even though Water International noticed Atlas's abnormal behavior in recent years, it did not pay much attention, since the two companies did not have any obvious conflict of interest and had even cooperated in some areas.
Therefore, losing the entire ARS First Company was a Pyrrhic victory that Sui Yang could not afford.
Moreover, he had a lot of affection for the First Company. You should know that the company commander of the First Company was the great grandson of Arthur Morgan, and his shooting skills and physical qualities were no less than those of Arthur Morgan. He was one of the best in the ARS, and even in the whole United States.
Therefore, he had to carry out the reset no matter what, to bring the children of the First Company back to life. At this time.
After reviewing the construction progress of the heritage site and signing documents such as Construction of Ghana Park and Ghana Mining Development, Sui Yang locked his tablet and put it aside.
Then, reclining into a relaxed sitting position, I turned my head to look out the window, trying to clear my mind.
But it was of no use.
When he completed the [Reset] and heard that cold voice remind him that [two offspring have arrived], Sui Yang's heart remained in suspense.
Although the voice fell silent after reminding him of the descent, offering no further information, it was possible that it had acquired extremely subtle spiritual energy, or perhaps some kind of sensing or perception, that caused blurry images to frequently flash through Sui Yang's mind.
Immediately afterwards, Sui Yang had Arthur and more than twenty hunters drive ground vehicles to accompany him to a location 20 kilometers west of the space gate.
Not long after, a sign that read Aulnois en Perthois flashed past on the right side of the car.
If you shift your gaze away from the car and look down from the air, the convoy of five black military SUVs is slowing down and eventually comes to a stop in an open area on the outskirts of a small town.
