From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"Before dawn today, we detected a powerful energy wave in Paris. Although the UDF does not know what this means, the results show that our enemies have completely lost their ability to move. Russia and...

..."

In the car, the radio played a declaration of some unexpected victory.

Outside the car, it was a rural road in the bright morning.

However, the villages on both sides of the road were already empty, 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 to read the latest information.

As the radio played, when he took the initiative to [reset] and returned to [yesterday], the mimicry that ravaged the Zero One Earth directly crashed, and could not stop the UDF's full counterattack at all.

But to be honest, even if he could not take the initiative to [reset], Sui Yang would "force the initiative" for a simple and clear reason, that is, to fulfill the promise of "see you yesterday".

Because all the participants in the raid on Paris were his confidants, and they were the basis for his stable control of Atlas.

To the outside world, he was a contractor cooperating with the military and a mercenary who was greedy for money.

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

The earliest ARS can be traced back to the late 19th century, and 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 involved in the military industry, the security team gradually transformed into a militarized organization, namely ARS.

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

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

For example, veterans who have made outstanding military achievements but have suffered family changes, and have been abandoned by the federation and society, leading to bankruptcy crises.

Atlas will give these veterans salaries and benefits far exceeding those of the federal army, and will also provide the best medical services.

Of course, before Atlas officially hired these veterans, the personnel department and investigators would thoroughly investigate their interpersonal relationships, consumption habits, and attitudes toward family.

The selected veterans, facing desperate situations, were reborn because of Atlas, or Sui Yang, and even received attention and had a stage to display their skills...

Their loyalty can be imagined.

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

Today, ARS has a total of six companies, with a number of people fluctuating between 3,500 and 3,600.

The first company is the elite of the elite, with the best individual equipment and more authority. It is called "Hunter" within Atlas. It was they who assisted Sui Yang in the raid on Paris.

The second, third, and fourth are infantry companies, while the fifth and sixth are armored and aviation companies.

Normally, the second to sixth companies will be mixed and deployed in 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 Atlas' unique organization, with many air vehicles, which enables ARS to have the ability to quickly transfer and deploy 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 has several AC-130 gunboats, as well as A-10 Warthog attack aircraft and F-16 Fighting Falcon multi-purpose fighters obtained through unconventional channels but "legally compliant".

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

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

If we include facilities such as outposts and base stations, as well as armed security under conventional contracts, Atlas will have to spend at least $1.8 billion a year to maintain the normal operation of all military units.

Last year, from January to December 1992, Atlas spent $1.92 billion on this.

But this cost is not fixed, and it will fluctuate due to the need to replace equipment, purchase new vehicles, or currency depreciation in 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 $1,300" is impossible to happen within Atlas.

Moreover, Sui Yang also prepared a large amount of cash between 1988 and 1991, and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991, he "recovered" a large amount of military equipment in Eastern Europe at a very low price.

Due to various restrictions, Atlas can only recycle at a low price and sell at a high price like in "Lord of War", and cannot completely own these equipment.

Fortunately, given that Atlas maintains friendly relations with other arms dealers, is a high-quality customer of other arms dealers, and frequently "sponsors" the US military, Atlas has turned a blind eye to the recruitment of a large number of former Soviet scientists.

Even though Water International noticed that Atlas's behavior in recent years was "abnormal", it did not pay much attention to it. After all, the two companies had no obvious conflict in substantive interests and even cooperated in some areas.

Therefore, the loss of the entire ARS First Company was a tragic victory that Sui Yang could not bear.

Moreover, he had invested a lot of feelings in the First Company. You should know that the captain of the First Company was the great-grandson of Arthur Morgan with the same name, and his shooting skills and physical fitness were no less than Arthur Morgan at the time. He was the best in ARS and even in the United States.

Therefore, he had to [reset] anyway to let the children of the First Company "revive".

At this time.

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

Then he sat in a reclining position, turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window with a little relaxation, trying to empty his mind...

But it was useless.

When he finished [Reset] and heard the cold voice reminding him that [Two Heirs are Coming], Sui Yang's heart was hanging.

Although the voice fell silent and no longer gave any information except for the reminder of [Coming], it may be that he has obtained extremely subtle spiritual power, or it may be some kind of induction and perception, which made Sui Yang's mind frequently flash through vague images.

Then, Sui Yang asked Arthur and more than 20 hunters to drive ground vehicles and accompany him to a location 20 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 move your vision away from the car and look down from the air, the convoy of five black military SUVs is slowing down and finally stops in an open space outside a small town.
