Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

363 The Bottom Line of Imperialism

Howitzer.

The D30 122mm howitzer had a maximum range of 18,000m. The muzzle velocity was 690m/s, and the pellet weighed 22.4 kilograms. It was kindly sponsored by Russia and was even mailed. It was parachuted home.

The 4,785mm long barrel was aimed at the climbing Dassault Falcon General Aircraft.

From today onwards, Kang De was also someone who knew how to fly a plane.

!!

The cannon appeared in the sky diagonally downwards. Due to the effect of gravity, the cannon seat was relatively heavy. The muzzle raised on its own. At the critical moment, it had already connected to the plane climbing the slope. In a flash, Kang De’s mental strength fully unfolded and activated Time Acceleration to seize this short moment.

He pulled the rope.

There was a bang.

The 3.2-ton howitzer roared in the air.

This was probably the first time in the history of the invention of cannons that someone had fired a traction howitzer in free fall, and the goal was a high-speed general-purpose plane.

Such an operation was simply shocking. It must be unique.

Of course, what was in the game did not count. A certain game player could use a sniper rifle to hit the driver of the supersonic fighter that was rushing over after parachuting. After killing the other party, he could take over the other party’s fighter plane at lightning speed. If it was more flashy, he could even take over the other party’s personal equipment.

The violent flames, the roaring air wave, and the intense dust were instantly blown away by the violent wind. However, the howitzer that came out pressed forward like an arrow that pierced the sky and swept toward the pitiful plane.

The moment he pulled the rope, Kang De teleported back to the white fog world. He was high in the sky and did not have the ground to eat the back seat. He did not want to be covered in 3.2 tons of artillery.

In the next moment, he appeared again.

He activated the Immortality Technique, causing the howitzer to quickly become lighter. Kang De raised it and stepped on the giant eagle. The arcane wind wings flapped and it rode the wind, like the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King.

There was no pity in his eyes as he stared at the thief who had committed the evil deed and his final outcome.

—You’re lucky, f*ck.

Fixed-wing aircraft were not famous for defense. Even if a B-2 bomber worth more than equal gold was hit by a howitzer, it had to explode, let alone the general aircraft of the Falcon family.

The shell deviated slightly and struck the right side of the nose, directly colliding with the interior of the plane. The howitzer immediately exploded and instantly lit up with starlight.

Strong flames and raging air waves destroyed the fuselage inch by inch, igniting fuel. The fire spread, and the explosion impacted. Everything was done in a few seconds. The plane exploded piece by piece. The wings folded, and the engine fell off. Flames surged from the nose to the tail and leaked out of the portholes on both sides.

Glass, metal, plastic, cloth… Black smoke surged with the flames. Garbage and fragments were thrown in all directions, still wrapped in the tail of the comet.

The skeleton of the plane that had fallen into the burning flames lost its momentum and broke in all directions, quickly falling down.

It was like a rain of flames.

It lit up the dark night.

Expressionless, Kang De flashed back to the white fog world and put away the howitzer. He returned again and rode the giant eagle to chase after the burning and falling plane. Electricity curled around his fingertips as he activated the spell scroll. Bolts of lightning and snakes rumbled down in the direction of the plane. Under such an explosion and impact, it was definitely impossible for the people in the plane to survive. However, Kang De was more used to making up for it. Who knew what other tricks that Comoros divine artifact had?

The flames were cold and thick smoke assaulted the nose. The giant eagle flew in the flames and smoke. Kang De unfolded the Atmospheric Divine Shield with his wrist guard to resist the fragments and junk flying over. He smelled a familiar smell. It was the smell of burning flesh and blood. With a shot, the people on the plane would probably be blown to pieces on the spot. The corpses would be unrecognizable.

He had finally not seen him until now—Little Bob was indeed dead.

The giant eagle flapped its wind wings and continuously flew around the fragments of the plane that fell like a meteor shower. Little Bob might have been shattered, but at this point, the life and death of this French mercenary leader were no longer the most important.

Most importantly, the people he controlled and that strange mind controller…

How was the relic of the Comoros kings?

Had it been shattered? Or was it intact?

He had to confirm these with his own eyes.

The flowing fire illuminated the night sky. Large pieces of burning plane fragments kept falling and colliding with the desolate Gobi Desert, causing a loud sound. Flames burned, and they still burned until the ground, like a metal rain. Kang De landed on the ground. This Gobi turned into a burning sea. He walked in it.

His phone buzzed.

Kang De picked up the call and Kirov shouted excitedly, “Ceasefire! These French people are not fighting anymore! They’re all stupid! Most importantly, we took a photo! We took a photo and video of the French army shelling the undefended civilian area! I want to show this cotton-scented video to the entire world!”

“I have to show the black people of the world, especially the black countries of Africa, how the holy Fifth Republic of France protects their African colonies! Oh, no, it should be the Third Empire of France. F*ck the republic, hahahahahahahaha!”

He laughed wildly for a while before realizing that it was time to get down to business.

“Oh, I’m sorry, brother. I’m really too happy. Let’s see how the French resolve this time—in addition, all the residents are in the air raid shelter. The 105mm semi-automatic artillery of the AMX-10RC armored vehicle won’t be any threat to them. The videos and photos we took will be submitted to your country…”

At this point, he lowered his voice and became mysterious.

“Also, how did you do it? I heard calls from all over. The riot stopped almost instantly. People were frightened and did not know what had happened…”

Kang De knew what he wanted to ask.

He took out his phone, took a photo, and sent it to the Russians through WeChat.

“When I arrived, Little Bob was already on the plane and about to escape. There was only one chance. It was no longer possible to capture him alive. I could only shoot the plane down.”

The two of them talked through the satellite phone and used their respective phones to send and receive photos. They did not conflict at all. The Russian said in surprise, “I see. Could it be that the control was lifted because Little Bob was killed? What about the king’s relic? Brother, I don’t mean to interfere with your thoughts, but such a thing is very sensitive…”

“I know. I’ll try to find it,” Kang De said. “It might have been shattered.”

“This is a little troublesome…”

The Russian could not help but smile bitterly.

However, he could not say anything. After all, his identity was a little awkward. A little reminder was already the limit. If he spoke too much, something would easily go wrong. Kirov was a smart person and would not ask.

In any case, this was not something he was qualified to interfere in.

“It’s indeed quite troublesome. Let’s try our best to find it, even if it’s only a fragment.”

After ending the call, the king called.

“Kang De… oh… friend, brother, how should I put it? We… we owe you too much… For a long, long time, no one has done such a favor to our country… Oh my, how should we repay it… Oh my, many people survived. I…”

His words were messy. Coupled with his not-so-standard accent, it was very strange.

However, this looked sincere.

...

Kang De smiled. “Hurry up and comfort your people. You have more important things to do.”

“—No, your matter is the most important.”

The king took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “That thing taken out of the ancestral tomb shouldn’t appear in the human world. It’s best to destroy it. What are your plans for this? Will you hand it to your country? I can help you. In theory, this thing is the legal property of the Comoros royal family. I can announce…”

Kang De interrupted him, “We have to find it first.”

“Yes?”

“Little Bob took the opportunity to escape. I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up and let the tiger return to the mountain from now on, so I could only directly shoot down the plane. Moreover, I wanted to pursue stability and chose the most thorough method…”

Kang De said, “In other words, the entire plane exploded and fell. It’s everywhere…”

“Did you hurt anyone?”

“No, I’ve seen it.”

This time, the king was silent for a moment before sighing. “It’s better to find it. Even if it’s a fragment. I believe you. Your father believes you, and your country will believe you, but the white people won’t believe you.”

“Yeah.”

...

Although he said this, Kang De looked at this large fire field. Small fragments that continuously fell splashed everywhere. It was fine if the magical thing that his father had described as a golden ball was not shattered. If it had already been shattered, how could he find those fragments in such a huge scene?

His mental strength spread out and tried to find foreign objects, but the substances in this area were really too chaotic. He did not have any good methods to use the power of the Fire Thief. If he really searched carefully, he did not know how long it would take.

Kang De only roughly looked around and barely found the location of the nose and cockpit. He could see the fragments of some suitcases and suitcases, but they had already been completely shattered. It was unknown where the things inside had been thrown. Apart from that, he could also discover some broken limbs that had almost been burned.

Then, where should he start looking?

—D*mn, what’s the point of looking?

Let’s talk about it later.

Time was tight. How could he have the time to embroider here? The battle of Red Maple City was right in front of him.

Priorities. Now, it was the other world’s turn to take priority.

Only now did he realize that he had already demolished the French military base. This meant that a large number of military resources and weapons and equipment had already been buried. When he thought of this, his heart ached.

These were all from the Kang family!

No, he had to go to humanitarian assistance.

Thinking of this, he said, “There are two things.”

The king immediately said, “Tell me.”

“Firstly, after I chased Little Bob into the French military base, I encountered a violent artillery attack. At this critical moment, the kings of your Comoros ancestors appeared and caused a huge earthquake at the military base, buying me time… In other words, the controlled French army has probably returned to normal now. Perhaps they’re struggling in the collapsed buildings and overturned armored vehicles.”

Chakat II did not believe that his ancestor had appeared, but these were only the details.

He thought for a moment and replied, “Good job. I was worried about how to deal with the French army outside Moroni. It’s time to be tough. Their actions are equivalent to a declaration of war. On account of our friendship, I believe this is an accident. As long as they immediately surrender and hand over all their weapons and equipment and only retain transportation, I’ll allow them to return to save their comrades and provide the necessary help.”

Kang De said happily, “What do you plan to do with this batch of weapons?”

“These are all your spoils of war. If you like them, I’ll directly send them to the logistics station you just bought. However, I still ask you to lend us a portion. We need weapons.”

“No problem. Take them down first—do you not need my help?”

In any case, the king would probably only want light weapons and transport vehicles. Even if they were used by the temporarily conscripted Comoros militia, they would not know how to use those missiles and cannons.

“There’s no need. What ordered them to surrender was diplomatic words and political methods, not the deterrence of force. This time, the French are extremely passive. Although Little Bob is dead, all kinds of records, photos, and recordings can’t be faked. They must be anxious to escape, and it’s very difficult to obtain NATO’s support.”

Chakat II’s tone was calm. Now, they were talking about the king’s work.

“We only have to take a tough stance and mediate and give an ultimatum through the French Embassy. We have to tell him that unless the army attacking Moroni surrenders immediately, Comoros will immediately respond by force. Even if we’re weaker than the French invaders, the determination of Comoros to pursue justice and freedom can’t be shaken. For the sake of their home and compatriots, they’ll definitely fight the evil French enemy to the last person.”

“I’ll see what they choose.”

He sneered, “Coincidentally, the base collapsed. This time, we’ll completely sweep the French out of Comoros.”

“Impressive.”

Kang De praised. He stepped onto the giant eagle and floated into the air, flying in the direction of the military base.

He had left in a hurry tonight and was only concerned about visiting and not taking anything.

The French military base was like this, and so was the airport.

He had to see what good things were in the foreigner’s house.

Little Bob was already dead. The danger of Comoros had been resolved. Next, he had to focus on the other world.

Before the gorilla and Sword Saint Snowfall arrived at Red Maple City, through the time flow difference between the two worlds, Kang De still had a long time to make the last firepower preparations.

He wanted to see what good things he could obtain from the French.

Looking at the time, it seemed that there was still time. Should he ask the Russians for more and let them airdrop some more weapons and equipment? As for the reason, it was all ready-made.

Self-defense, self-defense.

As for how France should deal with this huge mistake, how Comoros should recover the lost land and counterattack Gambia, the subsequent problems caused by the mind controller, the game of the large countries, and the end of this matter, Kang De’s plan to temporarily hide in Africa and his other plans had to wait.

“The warehouse of the base, the warehouse of the base, the warehouse of the base…”

Evil imperialist countries had to hide something they should not have.

Kang De had never hoped that the bottom line of these Western imperialists would be lower than now.
