Chapter 445: Air Transport
Hearing this, the reporters in the restaurant, whether they had finished eating or not finished eating, put down their plates and ran out, and when they looked up, they were immediately stunned by the scene in the sky, only to see three waves, and more than a dozen biplanes with amphibious buoys capable of taking off and landing on the water slowly passed over their heads with a cathartic roar.
"Oh my God, it's An-2, an improved An-2 that can take off and land on water. I don't know if it was the female reporter from the Eastern European country, she suddenly let out an exclamation, and immediately praised it unconcealedly: "Songjiang Province has a very developed water system, many rivers and lakes, although the An-2 is not advanced as a whole, but it wins excellent short take-off and landing, solid and cheap, if it can be changed to a surface take-off and landing aircraft, it can completely take water nearby and curb the spread of fire, the Chinese are really wonderful." ”
The brown-haired female reporter clenched her fists excitedly in front of her chest, as if this would infect her high emotions to the departing fleet above her head, and fulfill her wish to extinguish the fire.
"I have to say, dear Lisa, that the sky is not the Soviet An-2, but the Chinese imitation Yun-5. As a result, as soon as the female reporter named Lisa finished admiring, Shokin, a senior correspondent of the Soviet TASS news agency in China, who was standing next to her, shook her head to correct the mistake in Lisa's words.
Lisa suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and was just about to apologize for explaining, when she heard Shao Jin continue: "But the sentence behind you is very correct, Chinese changed the Yun-5 to a seaplane, which greatly improved their fire-fighting ability, of course, this is also Chinese mastered the relevant rapid modification technology, otherwise there would not be so many Yun-5 seaplanes at once, well~~ I think this is a good news point, quick, Lisa...... Use your camera to take a few more shots, lest some people say that you can't do it in other countries except for certain countries after you go to the check-in desk. ”
Saukin's words did not lower his voice, Lisa sneered when she heard this, quickly picked up the camera she carried with her, and snapped pictures at the Y-5 seaplane in the sky.
As for the other reporters, while marveling at the roaring fleet in the sky, they also secretly looked at Clark with strange eyes, whose cheeks had swelled into the color of pig liver.
There is no way that Saukin's words just now are too shocking, but for some reason there is an indescribable sense of comfort in the hearts of reporters from various countries, who made what Clark said in the restaurant just now too arrogant, what is it called except for the United States, other countries have it?
The reporters of these countries did not say anything, but they were already dissatisfied with Clark in their hearts, and at this time, the Soviet journalist Shokin suddenly opened fire, and they were unhappy with Clark, naturally all kinds of schadenfreude.
Clark was indeed so frightened by Saukin's words that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and he had the urge to go up and practice with Saukin.
But looking at Shaojin's polar bear's indistinguishable physique, the idea of practicing was instantly given up by him without hesitation, and he immediately took two deep breaths and retorted angrily: "I am a reporter, not an engineer, what does technology have to do with me, I only record what I see, pay attention to real evidence, even if the Chinese have seaplanes, what's wrong with them?" Just a dozen planes, want to extinguish more than a million hectares of forest fires, don't you think it's a little futile?"
"I think this is more likely to be a gesture on their part, after all, we in the Western world have put too much pressure on them during this time, and it is understandable to put on a show and let their own people and other countries see that they are not incapable, after all, this kind of thing is too common in the Western world, which proves that they have the same values as us, and we should support them in this regard. ”
Clarke's voice fell, and Breno, who was standing next to him, came out to help, and his words were reasonable, and he immediately raised the matter of transporting the 5 seaplane to a new height, and shamelessly stopped all the merits to their Western media.
It made him and Clark the saviors of the entire Great Khing'an Mountains fire, with them the disaster relief could be carried out smoothly, and every improvement in disaster relief was the result of their guidance.
But what if not?
I'm sorry, it's a mistake in values, a mistake in the essence of the soul, and in a word, they're right in everything they say.
Clark was really angry with Shokin just now, and his head didn't turn around for a while, and at this time, after listening to Breno's words, he almost didn't slap his head twice, why didn't he think of this, and nodded hurriedly:" Mr. Breno is right, our mission as journalists is to guide the right values, and since the government here has made substantial improvements, then we should support and encourage them to invest more of these planes in disaster relief, and if there is a lack of them, I can appeal to the United States, and I hope that American companies will support some of the small seaplanes here out of a humanitarian spirit. ”
Brenaud hurriedly nodded in agreement: "I will also appeal to the Canadian government and relevant enterprises." ”
The American reporters and a dogleg took the lead, and the reporters in Western countries saw that this was to take sides, but think about it, Saukin's sudden slap in the face of Clark was tantamount to a slap in the face of the American media by the Soviet media, and of course there was a fight.
In desperation, reporters from Western countries can only echo one after another, there is no way, if you don't figure out your position at this time, it will be easy for your boss to wear small shoes after you go back, who will let it still be a cold war.
Reporters from Eastern European countries naturally gathered around Shokin, and soon the two sides became barriers, but Shokin did not make further moves, but watched the plane in the sky go away, and then smiled kindly at a bunch of Western reporters: "I hope your appeal can be faster, otherwise China will soon be able to convert all the hundreds of Y-5 planes into water firefighting planes, and then you will not only not get the commission, but may be sued by the aircraft manufacturers who are interested in doing business with China to the court and demand huge compensation." ”
Clark didn't speak, just pouted disdainfully at Shokin, everything was silent, and Shokin's words were all taken by Clark as a fart.
Shao Jin was not angry, and still smiled: "Okay, since that's the case, pay attention to your good luck." After saying that, he walked back to the restaurant without looking back.
......
Hundreds of Y-5 planes, Shaokin's words sound scary, but they are by no means alarmist, because on the bank of the Heihe Reservoir, 300 kilometers south of the Daxinganling fire ground, there are more than a dozen Y-5 transport planes waiting to be refitted.
At the temporary earthen airfield not far away, a Y-6 that had not yet been painted slowly landed on the runway under the guidance of a temporary air-to-ground radio station, kicking up a puff of smoke and dust.
Wu Changcheng, who was watching this scene with a pergola in his hand, immediately picked up the phone in his hand after the Yun 6 was completely stopped, and reported in a solemn tone: "Report to the chief, the sixth batch of amphibious pontoons has been airlifted in place!"
