章 1443: Preparing For War

On a quiet night at a port on the west coast of South America.

Two cargo ships slowly stopped at the berths in the port.

Under the cover of night, containers were unloaded one by one from the ships by the bridge cranes in the port, placed on the back of heavy trucks, and driven towards the military base about five kilometers from the port.

On another smaller cargo, soldiers in kinetic skeletons stepped off the deck, boarded the long-waiting military trucks, and drove along with the convoy of heavy trucks to the Celestial Trade military base.

Tumaco, a port town on the border of South Colombia and Ecuador, had a population of only two thousand people.

After the Colombian Civil War, the President of South Colombia Timoshenko signed the "Trans-regional Economic Development Zone Agreement" with Celestial Trade. The 740 square kilometers of land from Tumaco to the Ecuadorian border was allocated to Celestial Trade as a special economic zone.
