Chapter 1159: Chapter 979: Show Off Muscles_2

This sentence almost made Narban’s jaw drop!

Seventy sorties of transport planes?

An airdrop... mind you, an airdrop!

After all, the military airport in the Russia Military Base over in Nagorno-Karabakh region certainly couldn’t accommodate seventy sorties of large transport planes in a short time, so an airdrop was the only option.

An entire mixed brigade was airdropped, more than two thousand combat personnel, and over two hundred light armored cars, armed transport vehicles, and the like.

This meant that the mixed brigade was no small force; it was a fully mechanized brigade of elites!

With such a force in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, it was indeed secure, whether it was from Armenia’s side or Country A’s, neither would want to experience what a "steel torrent" is like!

In theory, Russia had no need to make such a big fuss; even just sending a few hundred men over would have been more than enough.

Because neither Armenia nor Country A had the nerve to take action against Russia’s troops...

The reason for this major move was that Wang Ye had other intentions.

He was taking this opportunity to flex some "muscle" to the surrounding brother countries, as well as potential hostile forces!

In one day, nearly a hundred sorties of large transport planes were deployed to airdrop an entire fully mechanized mixed brigade!

Such strength, in a global context, other than the United States which barely managed it, no other competitor existed!

The reason why it’s said that the United States could barely do it is that, although it has more transport planes than Russia, its airborne troops are rather weak and don’t have mechanized troops that can be airdropped!

And that’s where Russia’s might lies.

Not only does it have a sufficient number of transport squadrons, but it also boasts formidable elite airborne troops, which if necessary, can airdrop two fully integrated mechanized elite brigades anywhere in the world within a day!

And that includes all types of light and heavy equipment!

This capability was unparalleled at that time!

No other country, including the United States, could achieve this...

Actually, not just in 2005, but even twenty years later, only Russia could accomplish this, with the United States only having superior transportation capabilities, but when it comes to airdropping capabilities, it still couldn’t compare to Russia.

This also served as a "small dish" before the start of the Collective Security Meeting...

A display of muscle to the younger brothers, so they knew that although Russia indeed had a tough few years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse!

No matter the hardships, the wealth inherited from the former Soviet’s hegemony was enough to place Russia at the forefront of the world’s military powers.

It also proved that Russia had the capability and confidence to maintain security in the surrounding regions, and joining the Collective Security Organization was indeed secure, not just a formality.

Indeed, after Shao Yigu finished speaking, Narban’s expression changed.

When he looked at Wang Ye again, his eyes contained a hint of awe.

It couldn’t be helped; although in terms of rank, he was a bit higher than Wang Ye, the problem was, Wang Ye had powerful Russia behind him, while he had only a small country with few people behind him...

Just the mixed brigade that Russia had airdropped into the Naka region today could single-handedly flatten Armenia!

This was the vast disparity in strength!

"In that case..., there are no issues on my side at all, I’ll follow Director Mikhail’s lead! For the reconciliation negotiations this time, we’ll go with Director Mikhail’s plan, but I don’t want the negotiations to be in Country A. It would be better to have them at a neutral location," Narban said seriously.

The issue of the negotiation location was something Wang Ye had already considered.

Since Armenia and Country A were the disputing parties, it wouldn’t be appropriate to have it in either country.

Let’s choose Moscow then; after all, both parties would be going to Moscow to attend the Collective Security Meeting anyhow. The formal signing of the reconciliation agreement during the meeting would also add to the meeting’s luster.

......

The issue with Armenia was resolved in just one day; Wang Ye stayed overnight in the capital of Armenia, and the next morning, he headed straight for the airport, ready to go to the capital of Country A.

Clearly, Country A had already received news that the Russia Peacekeeping forces were being deployed to the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

After all, on the surface, the Nagorno-Karabakh region still belonged to Country A, although Russia had always had a military base there. However, when increasing troops strength, a notification still needed to be made.

But that was limited to a mere notification. By the time Country A received the news, a whole Russian mixed brigade had already been airdropped in.

The current president of Country A, Ilyham, ended up bug-eyed with his mustache all curled up in anger.

He really wanted to explode, this was a bit too much, wasn’t it?

No matter what, the Nagorno-Karabakh region was still legally a part of Country A. Just because Russia had a military base there didn’t mean they could just send troops in and out at will, wasn’t it supposed to be after notifying us and receiving our agreement?

Of course, because the special envoy from Moscow, Director Mikhail, was still on the other side in Armenia and hadn’t come over yet, Ilyham was also unclear about the intentions behind the airdrop of such a force.

The official announcement said it was a peacekeeping force sent on behalf of the Collective Security Organization.

For this reason, Ilyham even specifically contacted the Kremlin; after all, they were once "brother countries," and although they had drifted apart, communication channels were still available.

However, to his disappointment, the response from the Kremlin was rather vague. They only mentioned that this was part of Director Mikhail’s mediation plan and that it would be best to discuss the matter face-to-face after his arrival in Country A.

In addition, the Kremlin told him not to worry, stating that it was indeed a peacekeeping force responsible only for maintaining the security of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and that there could absolutely be no other intentions or action plans.

This statement at least provided a bit of reassurance for Ilyham.

Bearing in mind the presence of such a formidable force within the heart of his own country, how could he relax if their intentions were unclear...

......

Perhaps to demonstrate the friendship between Country A and Russia, or maybe due to the potency of the heavy mixed brigade airdropped into Nagorno-Karabakh, Wang Ye’s special plane received a grand welcome upon arrival at the capital of Country A.

The sixty-something Ilyham personally led top officials to meet him at the Airport.

Rolling out the red carpet, playing the national anthem—the scene was indeed very grand!

With Country A, Wang Ye’s stance was somewhat more hardline than it had been in Armenia.

After all, Armenia was a member of the Collective Security Organization, still Russia’s "little brother" in name, whereas Country A had exited the organization and started flirting with Turkey, engaging in some subtle maneuvers.

Wang Ye’s purpose in coming this time was, on the one hand, to mediate the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute and on the other hand, to send a message to Country A!

The action of airdropping a heavy mixed brigade in seventy sorties was, to a large extent, intended as a demonstration for Country A...

Although Country A has its own language, A Language, government departments and institutions mainly use Russian, and many citizens also speak Russian since it is also a former Soviet member after all.

Therefore, it was convenient for Wang Ye and Ilyham to communicate, as no translator was needed, and they could speak directly.

......

"Director Mikhail, I want to know why your country suddenly deployed additional troops to the Nagorno-Karabakh region without obtaining our consent," Ilyham demanded with a confrontational air as soon as he sat down.

He felt that Wang Ye was too young and somewhat underestimated him, so he wanted to use this issue to gain the upper hand in terms of momentum.

This was in order to seize the initiative in the subsequent negotiations!

Wang Ye smiled faintly and responded calmly, "This was done in consideration of your side. The conflict between you and Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh region has threatened the security of our borders. Moreover, there are Russian people living in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and this is also to ensure their safety."

Ilyham was seething with frustration, but he couldn’t argue against Wang Ye’s statement.

Because indeed, there were Russian people living in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, but the problem was, the number was pitifully small!

Perhaps only a few hundred people?

For these few hundred Russian people, you sent a whole heavy mixed brigade...

Even the United States wouldn’t be that generous!

But whether he believed it or not, Wang Ye gave a justification that was righteously eloquent and very reasonable, at least it could not easily be faulted.
