Communication must be controlled, but the Black Demon doesn’t need to sabotage the early warning aircraft. Satan restored electronic communication for a certain period without worrying about an airstrike.Because the Shah people don’t operate at night!

Also because the Shah pilots think it’s too exhausting to stay airborne for eight to twelve hours every time they take off!

So, two early warning aircraft would take turns flying to ensure at least one is in the sky during the day. Any electronic signal detected would direct bombers to drop bombs, but at night, there’s nothing to worry about.

Gao Yang likes the night; everyone in Satan likes it because darkness is their friend. After all, which special operations commander and participant doesn’t like the dark?

But the Shah people don’t like the dark, so they abandon most nocturnal operations.

Even if the Shah’s early warning aircraft only flies during the day, it still causes significant trouble for Satan. After all, they dare not communicate during the day, and can’t receive urgent intelligence immediately.

PM every night is the agreed communication time. The phone is turned on promptly, and calls come in immediately. If there’s an abnormal situation, like the early warning aircraft needing to operate at night, the phone must be turned off and a retreat made. If there’s no issue, then it’s all fine, because if the Shah will be deploying an early warning aircraft, Satan will be notified.

Watching his watch, waiting for the second hand to jump to 9 o’clock, Gao Yang turned on the satellite phone, waited for it to find a signal, and the call came in immediately.

"The stars are shining brightly tonight."

"The stars are shining brightly tonight, received."

With just these words, Gao Yang hung up the phone, and loudly announced to everyone: "The stars are shining, all is clear, activate the radio."

The walkie-talkies were turned on, and communication, silent for a whole day, was instantly restored.

Gao Yang let out a long breath of relief. Not having to flee for his life was quite pleasant. If there were early warning aircraft in the sky, preparing to sprint would certainly not be a pleasant feeling.

Sitting back down in his chair, Gao Yang casually said, "I wonder if anything will happen tonight, according to the schedule, our team is ready for action."

Frey laughed, "Do you guys think our first battle will be against ourselves?"

Glolov said seriously, "That’s hard to say. To many people within the Houthis Armed Forces, our presence here isn’t a secret, so the Shah people surely know there’s a Russian Special Forces team nearby. If they send mercenaries to attack, we might be their primary target."

Frey waved his hand, "I mean, will our own people’s first battle be against us?"

Gao Yang laughed loudly, saying, "That’s hard to say, but I hope so, it’s better than other companies attacking us. If other companies come to attack, we must fight back decisively, but if it’s our own people, we’ll just withdraw, far away."

The Solar System Company had already dispatched a team to Aden, while the second team is on the northwestern border. So, when Frey referred to our own people, he meant the Solar System Company’s team. From any angle, people from the Solar System Company are definitely considered our people, only their employees don’t know it.

The relationship between the Solar System and Satan is a secret among secrets. All employees of the Solar System Company, except for Abdullah and Karima, know their behind-the-scenes boss is Satan.

Currently, Abdullah controls all employees of the Solar System Company in Saudi Arabia without leaking any information. So, if these personnel from the Solar System receive orders to attack Satan, they will fight with all their might, without any ambiguity.

To avoid Satan and the Solar System Company fighting among themselves, it solely relies on Abdullah. Before any action, the position of the Solar System Company’s team must be reported to Abdullah, and Abdullah simply needs to inform Satan here, and naturally, there will be no conflict.

At worst, Satan will just actively retreat.

Of course, the best approach is to insert some people into the Solar System Company to lead the team, ensuring everything is foolproof, but there is no suitable candidate yet.

Currently, the employees of the Solar System Company, especially those who come to Yemen for operations, are mostly Americans, mainly retired soldiers from the Marines and Army, and a few from the Special Forces. Not to exaggerate, they are all elites. Although the Solar System is a newly emerged company and not very famous yet, the commission is high.

The first established team currently operating in Aden is codenamed Mercury. The Solar System Company team operating near Yemen’s northwestern border is codenamed Venus. Obviously, the codename is based on the order of establishment and named after planets according to their distance from the sun.

Notably, the commander of the Venus Troops is Roy Kane.

Roy Kane is a notable figure. He retired from the United States Army at the rank of Major at 42, now 45 years old, and has received several medals. He fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, with extremely rich combat experience and outstanding commanding skills.

Considering this, Roy should be quite a promising officer. However, Roy, who is prominent and in his prime, and has received several medals, retired early, naturally for a reason.

The reason is Roy’s temper is foul; confronting superiors is quite frequent for him. He is a troublemaker, and his troop is full of troublemakers too. Over time, Roy finally offended too many people and was expelled from the army.

This troublemaker doesn’t mean Roy refuses orders. He carries out orders very well, which is undeniable. The problem is when Roy executes orders, he is rather unruly and daring in what he does, making his troop’s accomplishments impressive but the troubles caused by them are numerous.

Initially in Afghanistan, several soldiers under Roy did something stupid, completely enraging the locals, creating a terrible and significant impact. The U.S. Army wanted to investigate, but Roy shielded his men and steadfastly resisted the investigation team. He slammed the table and cursed but wouldn’t hand over the offending soldiers. Finally, he bore the responsibility completely and was transferred from Afghanistan to Iraq.

In Iraq, Roy switched to another troop and continued as the main officer because he indeed had the capability. But changing troops didn’t change Roy’s temper. Although he fought well, after two years, his men made another colossal blunder.

This time Roy couldn’t protect his men; the trouble was too big for him to bear. But Roy didn’t just sit idle. In spite of a heated debate with the Major General responsible for investigating the blunder, Roy slammed the table and cursed in front of all his men, so Roy got what he wanted, taking the blame with his men and was quickly expelled from the army.

After spending three years idle at home, Abdullah found Roy and brought him into the Solar System Company.
