Last night's meal was a little unaccustomed, who let the reception people come according to the traditional customs here, basically roast sheep and camel meat, anyway, I didn't see any vegetables.

In fact, the people in this city are largely Russianized in their diet, except for the elderly, who are said to eat more Russian Western food than hand-fingered mutton.

A bunch of pure carnivores think it's good for the time being, but if they continue to do this, they will have to eat something wrong!

Fortunately, it's summer, and there will still be some vegetables produced on the Mongolian plateau, and this trip not only brought some ingredients and chefs who are good at cooking in the wilderness, but Colonel Alessandro's people will also take care of the logistics.

If Zhang Nan stays here for a long time, he will air deliver daily necessities every once in a while.

Helicopter transportation is very expensive, much higher than fixed-wing aircraft of the same load class, and the large amount of fuel required is not cheap, but who cares?

Zhang Nan doesn't care about money, and when the garrison has money to get it, he also doesn't care about the fuel in stock, even if Zhang Nan has a whim one day and wants to urgently airlift a few tomatoes to try it, the colonel's subordinates will immediately do it.

Oh, Zhang Nan doesn't eat tomatoes.

This Zhang Nan was riding in a Ladaniwa off-road vehicle, not a garrison without a high-end car, this was all specially arranged by Pavel and others who arrived in advance - a team of identical off-road vehicles plus an army bus, not highlighting the importance of a certain person.

Security, the requirements for security guarantees from distinguished guests and bigwigs from Moscow are almost harsh!

Maozi's off-road vehicle is not comfortable to sit on, hard Bangbang, and Beijing 212 has a virtue.

The car window is quite large, and the scenery is good, looking at the city built along the gentle slope outside, Zhang Nan thought of a sentence that he had heard from a friend in his previous life.

It's funny, it's real, it's more like a warning, and by the way, it also shatters the rumors and fantasies of some people with big brains and ulterior motives.

When he had nothing to do, he said to Guan Xingquan, who was sitting next to him: "There is a saying that Ulaanbaatar is hell, and when you get out of Ulaanbaatar, it is heaven, at night it is hell, and when you get to the day, it is heaven, and under the car it is hell, and when you get to the car, it is heaven." ”

Can Guan Xingquan, Lin Ming, who was driving, and Alyosha in the passenger seat understand?

That's a classic summary!

In 20 years, in Mongolia, as long as you are a foreigner, you will not be very safe, but if you are a Chinese, you will indeed be looked down upon occasionally in public, but in reality, because you can be confused, it will be much safer than Caucasians in the strange city of Ulaanbaatar.

Zhang Nan doesn't like it here, everything here will be deformed in the future!

This time, my brother-in-law Xiang Weirong didn't come, he went back to Huaxia temporarily, and Boss Guan had to follow.

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Guan Xingquan, who should have come to Ulaanbaatar for the first time, didn't answer, but just "hehe".

Needless to say, he doesn't have a good impression of this, and seems to agree with Zhang Nan's summary.

Half an hour later, the convoy drove into the Ulaanbaatar Air Base, where the armies of the two countries were shared, but even the sentries standing guard were Russian troops.

It can be seen that the Russian army dominates the defense here, and the Mongolian army is a subsidiary, even if the Soviet Union is gone.

As far as the eye can see, you can see a lot of aircraft forts, but there are also some MiG-21 and MiG-17 parked on the tarmac, and the cockpit is covered with a sunshade cloth.

There are also two medium-sized propeller transport planes in the distance, possibly An-26s, and the airport building is slightly outdated.

The convoy stopped directly near the four Mi-8s lined up, and more than a dozen bodyguards who arrived here a little earlier than Zhang Nan were standing aside, fully armed.

When I got out of the car, there were two unarmed Mi-24 helicopter gunships with short wings parked on the other side, but they looked a little murderous.

Most of the luggage for this trip was loaded and transported away yesterday, and the bodyguards and attachés who arrived in Ulaanbaatar last night basically brought a small bag each.

The equipment on Alexander, Qiu Bo and others who arrived here earlier was provided by the Russian army, and all of them were suitable for the AKS-74 assault rifles used by airborne and armored infantry.

The Russian army in Eastern Europe dares to sell arms in whole warehouses, and it is not a matter to take some inventory here and lend it to friends, at least that's what Colonel Aleksandrov and his colleagues think.

The Colonel disembarked from another buggy, and he would accompany him on this trip.

Seeing that Zhang Nan didn't have the idea of getting on the helicopter immediately, he came over and wanted to ask Mr. Allen what questions he had.

"Colonel, are these planes yours?"

Zhang Nan was referring to those MiG-21s not far away.

"Now, it will soon be given to those Mongols, almost all the planes will be given here.

They are all relatively old models, and they are all queuing up for scrapping in China, and it is useless to fly back. ”

The colonel is also a little helpless, the model is a little old, but at least it can be used for 20 years, and it's not cool to lose to others like this, right?

But why fly back?

Fly back and then into the scrap yard?

The plane should be de facto discarded, in fact, the same is true of the people here, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even officers like Aleksandrov have a worrying future.

Zhang Nan knew what the colonel and others thought, but he didn't invite them to participate in his own company's actions in the future, let's see, the Russian army here doesn't know if there are any talents who have been to Afghanistan, and he can't look down on the general Russian army.

This got on the helicopter, and the colonel was on the same Mi-8 as Zhang Nan, and after entering the engine room, he found that this helicopter was very special, different from those ordinary military models that could carry more than 20 infantrymen.

With only nine seats, this is a Mi-8 luxury passenger model with seven large forward-facing reclining recliners on the left side.

On the right, there are 2 seats, 1 table, and a movable electric fan.

There are also cabins, bars, and crew cloakrooms at the front of this side, while toilets and passenger cloakrooms are located on both sides of the rear entrance.

Seeing that Zhang Nan was quite satisfied with this helicopter, Alexandrov said: "This one is the only one in Mongolia, but it is a little old, and more than ten years ago, the Kazan Aircraft Factory made it according to the special model of the important personnel, which is slightly higher than the general luxury passenger configuration." ”

Everyone took their seats, and Zhang Nan said: "It's very practical, and it's more real than my Black Hawks." ”

Zhang Nan is really not talking nonsense, his Black Eagle luxury is luxurious, but it lacks a little bit of life, which probably belongs to the difference between different cultures in the East and the West.

For example, the Americans didn't design any cloakrooms.

This is ready for takeoff, the plane is a little old, but the maintenance is not bad, the Red Devils have already checked the four helicopters.

The mechanical condition is good, and the pilot is not bad: the original captain became the co-pilot, and the co-pilot went to the ordinary cabin, and the captain was all red devils.

This takes off, the sound insulation is okay, and it should be lighter than the ordinary Mi-8.

Andre said that Zhang Nan didn't seem to have taken this type of helicopter before.
