Two Black Stork and one Smew helicopter hovered over the Sea of Yamato, heading towards the military airbase in Primorskaya Oblast. Their helicopters only have a range of about 600 kilometers. The distance between Sakhalin and Niigata is over 1,000 kilometers away. Hence the need for refueling in one of their air bases.
"This trip wouldn't be as comfortable as the one you just had, Your Imperial Highness," Rolan said, glancing at the three who were sitting in front of him.
Although the Smew was designed for comfort, it pales in comparison to the one they'd flown to get to Sakhalin.
"It's okay," Christina smiled, assuring him. "The interior is just as great as the airplane. You don't have to worry about our comfort. In fact, this was more than enough."
Rolan rubbed the back of his neck. "I see. If something feels uncomfortable…please let me know."
