The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 89. Everything is under my control

James McCarron, CEO of MARS Military Industrial Group, took a special plane to NATO headquarters in Brussels, the capital of Belgium in Western Europe, in a very high-profile manner.

NATO Secretary General Louis Michel and NATO Supreme Military Commander Heinrich Feinmann personally went to the airport to receive McCarran.

The presence of two influential figures within NATO made McCarran more convinced that NATO now needed his help.

NATO's highest court was extremely friendly in its summons to McCarran.

NATO's most elite special forces were arranged to escort him throughout the journey as bodyguards.

The hotel they stayed in was also the highest-level international hotel in NATO Brussels, and all security personnel were elite members of the special forces.

In the past, this was a treatment only senior officials at the level of heads of state were eligible to enjoy.

McAllen felt quite satisfied with the attention he received.

His informant inside NATO also told him that he had not heard of any discussion meetings within NATO targeting the MARS military-industrial group recently.

But the next day, when McCarron went to NATO's Supreme Court in Brussels to answer the summons, the situation took an unexpected turn.

Evidence of Cobra members using military weapons and equipment from the MARS Armed Forces Group was presented in court.

This reminds me of the nanoworm missiles that were used by the Cobra organization to launch terrorist attacks and caused the "Paris Massacre".

NATO's highest court said it had reason to suspect that MARS was secretly cooperating with the Cobra organization.

I thought I came here as a "savior" and NATO was asking me to help solve the nanoworm problem.

Unexpectedly, the "summons for explanation" directly turned into an "inquiry into guilt", and there is even a possibility of conviction.

McCarron knew immediately that something was wrong.

Fortunately, the evidence presented in NATO's Supreme Court did not have any substantive lethality, and the questioning of the MARS military-industrial group was more suspicious.

McCarron immediately refuted the claim in court.

It is claimed that the products of MARS Military Industrial Group are sold all over the world, not only in North America and NATO, the world's mainstream official countries, but also in the underdeveloped countries in the third world, which are also important markets for MARS Military Industrial Group.

The Cobra organization uses MARS military products because their company's products are highly competitive.

As for where they obtained these military products, MARS said it was wronged and had no idea...

The first day of questioning ended hastily.

While McCarran was wondering what went wrong, NATO's Supreme Military Commander Heinrich Feinmann came in person and apologized to McCarran.

It was claimed that today's questioning was purely for "procedural reasons." In fact, NATO's top leaders did not think there was any problem with MARS.

However, the impact of the "Paris Massacre" is too great. Considering that the nanoworm missiles were produced by the MARS Military Industrial Group, this court inquiry is NATO's explanation to the public.

This explanation does make sense. In addition, the highest military commander of one of the "Big Three of NATO" came in person to explain, which gave him enough face. McCarran could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

After all, the MARS Military Industrial Group is not a terrorist force like the Cobra Organization. It is a regular company under the supervision of NATO.

McCarran will not risk making an enemy of the whole world and breaking off relations with NATO unless it is absolutely necessary.

So McAllen had to be patient and stay in Brussels, where he was questioned by NATO's highest court for five consecutive days under the full supervision of elite special forces.

The repetitive questioning, meaningless questions, and the so-called evidence that posed no threat at all made McAllen a little upset.

On the sixth day, the NATO Supreme Court announced that the questioning phase was over and that it was now necessary to conduct random inspections of the MARS Military Industrial Group's production plants and research bases around the world. As long as the random inspections were completed and proved that the MARS Military Industrial Group had no connection with the notorious Cobra organization, NATO's investigation into MARS would end immediately.

This time, NATO Secretary General Louis Michel came in person to persuade McAllen to cooperate with the investigation.

He also emphasized that this, like the previous questioning, was just a "formality" and was entirely a face-saving project to please the public.

At this time, McAllen had become somewhat alert.

He was not worried that NATO would find out anything in his factories or research bases.

Those military technologies, weapons and equipment that are truly anti-human and cannot be made public are all located in the Cobra base on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean.

McCarran was just annoyed that his personal freedom was temporarily controlled by NATO.

The NATO Secretary General immediately stated that McAllen's personal freedom would be restored as soon as the investigation was completed.

In order to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, McCarran had to order MARS's global bases to be ready to cooperate with NATO's investigation operations at any time.

In this way, a long investigation into the MARS Military Industrial Group began.

For a whole month, McCarron was constantly wondering if he was being fooled by NATO.

NATO claimed that it had discovered traces of a suspected Cobra member, the Baroness, during surveillance at a military factory in MARS.

McCarran swore that he would never make such a "stupid" mistake and leave such a stupid handle.

He seriously suspected that the photo provided by NATO as evidence was a product of computer synthesis technology.

Considering the fact that the special forces had previously captured the Baroness, he even felt that this photo was taken recently by NATO under duress of the captured Baroness, but the date of the photo was forged afterwards.

But it is clear that NATO's highest court will not give him a chance to defend himself.

Using this excuse, NATO naturally increased the scale of its investigation into the MARS military-industrial group.

A large number of senior executives of the group were taken into custody to assist in the investigation and handling.

McCarron was extremely anxious. He felt that he was losing control of MARS.

He frantically made phone calls and tried to put pressure on NATO's Supreme Court through formal channels, but he was told that NATO's current investigation into the MARS Group was carried out in accordance with procedures and was legal and compliant with regulations.

After McCarron hung up the phone in anger, he cursed those who only knew how to take his money but not how to do their work as a bunch of good-for-nothings.

Finally, McCarran calmed down and realized his current situation. It was impossible for him to rely on NATO to release him.

So he immediately ordered the Cobra Organization through secret channels to continue launching the remaining three nanoworm missiles.

By increasing the threat of Cobra, NATO was forced to release itself.

Even if NATO remains indifferent, the launch of three nanoworm missiles can cooperate with the Cobra organization. Once the North American Commander goes to the air defense bunker built by MARS for refuge, Cobra's "master of disguise" Zatan can replace him and make the North American Commander his own.

At that time, the President of North America can use "presidential pardon" on himself and regain his freedom.

'I have everything under control!'

McCarron thought so.
