Chapter 540: The Choice of the Eastern and Western Fronts

"My uncle and aunt are trapped in Borja, and more than 4,000 cars are also trapped in that small town...... Fang Zhengying told the grandmaster everything that happened in Borja while tasting the local specialties of Ulan-Ude. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Bruno's father and son were stunned, and so was the Grandmaster.

They really didn't expect that such a sudden snowstorm would almost cause Vladivostok, the biggest tragedy in the history of the Cape Town Rally.

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor and the Empress happened to be in Borja, a large number of riders might have frozen to death on the streets of Borja by now.

Fortunately, the emperor and the queen mother secretly participated in this rally, otherwise in such a situation, without the Chinese emperor in charge, the small city of Borja may really be chaotic.

More than 8,000 riders who had no food and no place to sleep, and in such bad weather, the devil knows what to do. In such weather, these drivers are not faced with the question of whether the rally can be completed, but with the question of life and death.

In front of such a big problem, no one can resist the temptation to live.

If Hua Huang does not get it, there is a great possibility that there will be many smashing and looting incidents in Borja, and in order not to freeze to death, these drivers may do even worse things.

The people of Northern Xinjiang are very strong, and there are also a large number of Russians in the small town of Borgia, and once there is a dispute with the drivers, and the dispute eventually turns into a riot, that is absolutely possible.

Tiny Borja is located in the interior of the mountainous region, there is no garrison at all, and the only armed force is the police station, so the local government is simply not able to face and deal with such a problem.

Fortunately, with Huahuang in charge, no one dared to stab, not to mention anything else, just the elites who protected Huahuang and the queen's mother were enough to scare a large number of drivers who wanted to make trouble.

Although there are not many of these Ouchi guards, they all have enough weapons and ammunition on their bodies and cars, and they are all really capable of seconding people!

After being stunned for a long time, the Grandmaster also smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect a snowstorm to cause so many things. Fortunately, His Majesty is here, otherwise Borja would really be messed up. ā€

Fang Zhengying said with a smile: "It's the uncle and the aunt that the rally this time has been in vain." ā€

When Bruno and Hans heard these words, they stopped talking directly, this is something confidential involved, and at this time pretending to be an ostrich is better than anything else.

seemed to realize that he had slipped his mouth, Fang Zhengying immediately pulled the topic aside, "Husband, this time we are the first in the iron and iron, we have gone all the way in the southern route, and we have not seen any cars in front of us, and on the northern route, all the drivers have been trapped by this heavy snowfall, even those professional teams have stayed in place one by one, and none of the cars dare to come out." Moreover, according to this kind of weather, if they want to leave, they will have to wait at least another three days or so. ā€

Bruno smiled: "According to His Royal Highness the County Lord, we dare not say that we will win the rally this time, but we must be the champion of this first stage." ā€

After a pause, Bruno said while calculating: "There is still less than 600 kilometers from Ulan-Ude to Kurtuk, and this road should be much easier than the road we have run in the past two days, after all, Ulan-Ude is an important city in Northern Xinjiang Prefecture, and it is also the main transit city for the northern capital to go south and east, so if nothing else, we can arrive at Kurtuk tomorrow afternoon and become the first and second cars to sign in." ā€

The Grandmaster took a chopstick dish and said while eating, "This time our adventure seems to have had the desired effect, and the lead in the first stage is certain. But I'm now wondering what to do with the second phase of the journey from Kurtuk to Hami. ā€

Fang Zhengying asked strangely: "What's the reason to hesitate about this? Didn't we all have already set the route before the game? Don't you plan to follow the original route?"

"Daughter-in-law, it's not that I don't want to follow the planned route, it's that this heavy snow has made all our plans null and void. ā€

Bruno said: "That's true, if nothing else, let me guess if your route for the second stage is good?"

Fang Zhengying smiled and nodded.

"I think your route for the second stage is arranged in such a way that you will most likely choose to take the western route, which is to start from Kultuk, follow Route 333 all the way west to Khankh, then south via Hatgal to Muren, then west to Sharga, and then from Sharga south across the Hangai Mountains to Uriya Sudey, to Altai, and then from Altai to start crossing the Altai Mountains, passing through Tselle, and finally finish across the Altai Mountains to Hami. ā€

Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying looked at each other for a moment, and nodded in unison.

Bruno smiled: "Hehe, in fact, I plan to go this way in the second stage, because this road is the best and shortest route, although the eastern route is better, but the eastern route is much longer than the western route." So in the six rallies I have participated in before, I have taken the western route in the second stage. ā€

The eastern route that Bruno is talking about is starting from Kurtuk, returning to Ulan-Ude, Darkhan, Ulaanbaatar, and then from Ulaanbaatar to Bayanhongor, and then from Bayanhonggor or choosing to continue south through Bayan-Prague across the Altai Mountains to Jiuquan in Longzhou, or choosing to go west from Bayanhonggol to Altai and merge with the western line and then across the Altai Mountains.

However, in any case, although it is much easier to walk on the eastern route because of the fewer mountains, it is more than a thousand kilometers farther than the western route.

Therefore, for some amateur riders and riders who do not strive for nouns, many people will choose to take the eastern route in the second stage, after all, the eastern route is safe. However, some professional drivers and those who consider themselves highly skilled will opt for the shorter Western Route. After all, the distance of more than 1,000 kilometers is almost a day's difference.

The Grandmaster said: "Bruno, at the beginning, we were also going to take the western route, but judging from the current weather, it is obviously not a very wise choice to take the western route, so I plan to change the route and take the eastern route. ā€

Bruno nodded thoughtfully and said, "Are you worried about snow on the road?"

The Grandmaster nodded and said, "That's right. The area affected by this snowstorm was very large, and although the western route was much shorter, most of it was mountainous. In such weather, I think it is a very brain-dead choice to take the mountain road, not to mention the danger, and the speed cannot be improved, so I think it is better to take the eastern route. Although the eastern front is a little longer, it is safe, and even if you push the snow, it is much faster than walking on a mountain road. ā€

Bruno nodded and said with great certainty: "Master, based on my previous experience, this decision of yours is quite wise. I agree!"

Fang Zhengying shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't ask me, I'm just a dozen soy sauce ......"
