Chapter 339: Safety first, never play with your life

"By the way, Brother Guan and brother-in-law, after arriving in India, in addition to the dishes made by Daniel, there are also some fruits or something, don't eat other things, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident!"

Daniel Angrel, the American chef on the yacht who knows how to cook Chinese cuisine. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xiang Weirong on the other side was a little puzzled when he heard this: "It's not that serious, as soon as you go to India, someone will want your life? Xingquan and I have changed our African passports." ”

"It's not that someone wants me to die, it's that their food will kill people, and you're absolutely right to listen to me this time.

Even Indian canned drinks are better not to drink, if you want to drink imported goods, bulk drinks must not be touched!"

Both of them nodded when they heard this: they listened to the advice of others to eat well.

For India, Zhang Nan has always used "hehe" to describe it, there is really no hope, and his stomach twitches when he thinks of the curry flavor!

Painful memory!

In 03, I went to an acquaintance's place to run errands, but I just ran into a seemingly high-end event, and was pulled to have an authentic Indian meal - a new air route from China to India was opened to celebrate.

Several of the chefs were borrowed from the Indian embassy and consulates in China, and the Indian chefs were specially informed that even all the condiments and drinks were brought from India and were brought from India, and they were still through the diplomatic channel -- of course, foreign food entering China needs to go through inspection, and the diplomatic channel does not need these formalities.

With the chefs at the embassy and consulates and the various condiments and drinks brought from India, this ton of Indian food is always authentic, right?

I borrowed the western kitchen of a top hotel, and the sanitary conditions were absolutely no problem - Zhang Nan had a good meal, and then I had a stomach ache for a whole day after going back!

It hurts so much that my face turns white!

Ah San can't fight, but this Indian feast is hugely lethal!

......

Two years ago, Huaxia almost had another big fight with India on the plateau, and if the Chinese appeared in India, it was estimated that it would not be very popular, so Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, who went together, took prepared African passports.

The brother-in-law misunderstood, and Zhang Nan had to explain.

It's 1988, not the 21st century, and Zhang Nan's private jet to India is arranged thanks to the seemingly all-powerful Amex company, which seems to be more reliable than the official United States!

India will be able to enjoy a good relationship with the Soviet Union in the international arena, and the Americans will have to take the initiative to establish good relations with this local overlord in the Indian Ocean.

At least India has always considered itself the overlord of the Indian Ocean, and its self-confidence is bursting!

It is not easy to fly to India by private jet in the United States.

In the 50s and 60s, the United States had close relations with India, but after India signed the "Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation" with the former Soviet Union in 1971 and launched the Third Indo-Pakistani War to dismember Pakistan, India-US relations suffered serious setbacks, and relations were restored in the past two years.

For safety, in addition to Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, Zhang Nan also brought Alyosha, Karimi, Shamili, Thomas, Paul, Zach and Daniel, plus two beauties to minimize the faces of East Asians.

Daniel must go with him, otherwise Zhang Nan will feel that he has nothing to eat: Andy Lew is Chinese, so he won't need to go this time, and as for Zack, the armed driver, he will go with him, not because this guy is the safest bodyguard, but because of his appearance.

Zach is a black buddy, but not the kind of skin that looks particularly dark - if he changes into a wrap skirt or a super long shirt with Indian characteristics, he can definitely pretend to be a local Indian!

……

On June 26th, with the good mood of making a lot of money in the European Cup, a group of 12 people took the Gulfstream 4 to Mumbai, India - no interest in New Delhi, then the first stop must be arranged in Mumbai, which is not possible by the Express Company, Zhang Nan's private jet cannot fly directly to Thiruvandrang.

It is much closer to India from West Germany, otherwise it would be too far from the United States to India!

However, after taking off from Munich, the plane did not fly in a straight line to Mumbai: according to Zhang Nan's previous requirements, it flew south over Austria and Italy and then entered the Mediterranean, then passed over Egypt and flew over the Red Sea into Saudi airspace, and then flew over Muscat, Oman, and then flew over the Indian Ocean after refueling.

Originally, according to the route plan provided by Yuntong, Gulfstream 4 could fly directly from Munich to Mumbai, but Zhang Nan directly gave his own requirements, and his attitude was still very arrogant: "There is no negotiation, I will pay, you will do it!"

Mr. Allen's platinum customer is a god of gods to Amex, so do it.

Why do you do that?

Because Zhang Nan is afraid of death!

If this trip were to fly in a straight line, it would have to fly over Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and then Iranian airspace, and even Pakistani airspace.

Let's not talk about how much time and dollars it takes for the air traffic control departments of these countries to be dealt with, but even if everything is OK, Zhang Nan will not dare to fly like this - his own private jet is not a fixed-point commercial flight, it is common in the United States, and it is not particularly strange in Western Europe, but in Eastern Europe and the Middle East...

Zhang Nan dared to fly like that, he was playing with his life, and he was impatient!

The cruising altitude of Gulfstream 4 is 12,500 meters unless Zhang Nan specifically asks for it, otherwise the best cruising altitude is 15,000 meters!

Civil aircraft generally cruise at an altitude of about 10,000 meters, and those propellers can't reach this altitude.

The shape of the Gulfstream 4 on radar waves is very small, coupled with a slightly faster cruise speed and half the cruising altitude than ordinary jet fixed-point civil airliners, even if the air traffic control departments of those countries approve it, there is no guarantee that there will be a loyal anti-aircraft missile battalion in the skies over Europe to give them two SAM 2!

Even if there is no Sam-2 coming, it is very likely that two MiG-21s will come up.

What's even worse is that the Iran-Iraq war is still going on, everyone is nervous, and sometimes you can kill the wrong one and not let it go!

Finally, there is another point, not only is it possible to encounter two missiles manufactured by the Warsaw Pact, but it is even more likely that Egypt and NATO's anti-aircraft missiles will be present -- there may be US cruisers in the Persian Gulf.

This will be even more unreasonable for the American warships in the Persian Gulf, there is a super aggressive captain who is hanging around, and if he is not careful, he will fight again!

July 3, 1988, a week later. An Airbus A300B2 flight 655 from Bandar Abbas, Iran, to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was shot down by two Standard 2 ship-to-air missiles launched by the US Navy's Conderoga-class missile cruiser USS Vincennes in the international shipping lane over the Persian Gulf, killing 290 passengers and crew, including 38 non-Iranians, 66 children, and 1 pregnant woman!

The U.S. government later claimed that the Iranian airliner was mistaken for an F-14 Tomcat fighter jet (exported to Iran more than a decade ago) during the attack, and the Iranian government stated that the Vincennes had in fact shot down the Iranian airliner with full knowledge.

The U.S. government sent a note after the crash of Iran Air Flight 655, expressing regret over the loss of human life, but it never admitted its mistakes, was not responsible, and did not apologize.

On 22 February 1996, the United States promised to pay Iran $61.8 million as compensation to 248 Iranians killed, $300,000 for each salaried victim and $150,000 for each unpaid victim.

The United States did not pay any money for the downed airliner, which was an agreed settlement to dismiss Iran's 1989 lawsuit against the United States before the International Court of Justice: the United States clearly marked the compensation as ex-gratia payments and refused to admit responsibility or legal responsibility for the incident.

At that time, the world's number one military power was so domineering, what can you do?!

Zhang Nan doesn't want to play with his life like this, safety first!
