From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 9 Atlas Military Power
  "Before dawn today, we detected a powerful energy wave in Paris. Although the UDF does not yet know what exactly this means, the results indicate that our enemies are completely incapacitated. Russia and...

... "

In the car, the radio was playing some kind of declaration of unexpected victory.

Outside the car, there is a rural road in the bright morning.

However, the villages on both sides of the road were already deserted, and the trees that had not yet grown green leaves made this 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 like what was played on the radio, when he took the initiative to [reset] and returned to [yesterday], the mimicry that was ravaging Earth Zero-1 immediately shut down and was unable to stop UDF's full counterattack.

But to be honest, even if he cannot take the initiative to [reset], Sui Yang will "force the initiative". The reason is simple and clear, that is to fulfill the promise of "see you yesterday".

Because all the participants in the Paris raid were his confidants, they were the basis for his ability to firmly control Atlas.

Externally, they are said to be contractors cooperating with the military and mercenaries who are greedy for money.

Internally, these soldiers are members of the "ALTAS Response Service", or "ARS" for short, and they have exclusive military ranks and numbers.

ARS can be traced back to the late 19th century. Its prototype was a security team that was adopted and raised by Sui Yang and headed by Arthur Morgan and others.

After Atlas was formally established and gradually became involved in the military industry, the security team gradually transformed into a military-style organization, also known as ARS.

Most of the elite members of the ARS are descendants of Arthur Morgan and others, and have received specialized cultural education and physical training since childhood.

The "ordinary" members of ARS are also deliberately selected.

For example, retired soldiers who have achieved outstanding military exploits, but are in bankruptcy crisis due to family changes, being abandoned by the federation and society.

Atlas will provide these retired soldiers with salaries and benefits that far exceed those of the federal army, and will also provide the best medical services.

Of course, before Atlas officially hires these veterans, the personnel department and investigators will dig into their relationships, spending habits, and attitudes toward family.

But when the selected veterans faced a desperate situation, they were reborn because of Atlas, or Sui Yang, and even gained attention. After having a stage to display their skills...

One can imagine how loyal he is.

From its establishment to the present, ARS has assisted Atlas in secretly dealing with numerous threats, and has also been hired by the U.S. military to perform some more dangerous tasks for the other party.

Today's ARS has a total of six companies, with a strength of around 3500 and 3600.

The First Company is the elite among the elite, possessing the best individual equipment and more authority. They are called "Hunters" within Atlas. It was they who assisted Sui Yang in the attack on Paris.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th were infantry companies, while the 5th and 6th were armored and aviation companies.

Under normal circumstances, the second to sixth companies will be mixed and deployed at Atlas' overseas bases to ensure the safety of overseas assets, factories and employees, and have the ability to suppress low- and medium-intensity wars.

The aviation company should be regarded as a unique organization of Atlas. It has many air vehicles, allowing ARS to have rapid transfer and deployment capabilities in Africa, the Middle East, South America and other places.
  For example, the UH-1H and CH-53E responsible for transporting the Hunter Company, and the AH-1W responsible for escort belong to the Sixth Aviation Company. In addition to conventional transport vehicles, the aviation company also owns several AC-130 aerial gunships, as well as A-10 Warthog attack aircraft and F-16 Fighting Falcon multi-purpose fighter jets obtained through unconventional means but "legally compliant" .

This allows ARS operating in Africa, the Middle East, South America and other places to call in aviation companies for bombing when facing difficult enemies or fortifications.

Currently, Atlas has established three military bases in Kenya in East Africa, Bolivia in South America, and at the junction of Syria and Iraq.

If you include facilities such as outposts and base stations, as well as regular contracted armed security, Atlas will spend at least $18 billion per year to maintain the normal operation of all military units.

去年，1992年1至12月份，阿特拉斯便在这方面支出了19亿2000万美金。

However, this fee is not fixed and may fluctuate due to reasons such as changing equipment, purchasing new vehicles, or depreciation of money within a certain year.

However, one thing is certain, that is, the consumption of this "military expenditure" will become higher and higher, but the incident of "buying a coffee cup for US$1300" is absolutely impossible to happen within Atlas.

而且隋阳还在1988至1991年之间筹备了大量现金，待1991年12月26日的苏联解体之后，在东欧以极低价格“回收”了大量军事装备。

Due to various restrictions, Atlas only recycles the equipment at low prices and sells it at high prices like in "Lord of War", and is unable to completely own these equipments.

Fortunately, in view of the fact that Atlas maintains friendly relations with other arms dealers, is also a high-quality customer of other arms dealers, and often "sponsored" the US military, Atlas has successfully recruited a large number of scientists from the former Soviet Union. , all turning a blind eye.

Even if Vought International noticed Atlas's "abnormal" behavior in recent years, it did not pay too much attention. After all, the two companies have no obvious conflict in substantive interests and have even cooperated in some areas.

Therefore, the loss of the entire ARS 1st Company was a tragic result that Sui Yang could not bear.

What's more, he has invested a lot of affection in the first company. You must know that the commander of the first company is the great-grandson of Arthur Morgan with the same name, and his shooting skills and physical fitness are no less than those of the original Arthur Morgan. He is an ARS , even among the best in the United States.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to perform a "reset" to "resurrection" the children of the first company.

at this time.

After Sui Yang reviewed the construction progress of the heritage base and signed some documents titled "Construction of the Ghana Park" and "Ghana Mining Development", he put the tablet lock screen aside.

Then he lay down and sat in a sitting position, relaxed a little and turned to look at the scenery outside the window, trying to relax his mind...

But it's of no use.

When he completed the [reset] and heard the cold voice reminding him of the [arrival of two heirs], Sui Yang's heart kept hanging.

Although apart from reminding [Advent], the voice fell into silence and no longer gave any information, but it may be that he has obtained extremely subtle spiritual energy, or it may be some kind of induction or perception that frequently flashes in Sui Yang's mind. Blurred picture.

Immediately afterwards, Sui Yang asked Arthur and more than 20 hunters to drive ground vehicles and accompany him to a location kilometers west of the space gate.

Not long after, a sign marked "Aulnois en Perthois" flashed on the right side of the car.

If you look away from the car and look down from the air, a convoy of five black military SUVs is slowing down and finally stopped in an open space outside a small town.
