Chapter 411 Helicopter Purchase Plan
"Han Chong, this is a military transport helicopter produced by Mi-type E Ross, produced in the sixties and seventies of the last century, it is an antique, but the performance is not bad, it can seat more than 20 people...... When it comes to helicopters, I've always thought the e-Ross is the best. ”
Han Chong knew that before the dismissal of Su Lian in the last century, for its global strategic position, a fleet was stationed in the port of Burma, but later the economy of Eross was tight, and that fleet was withdrawn to China. However, in Myanmar, there are many military facilities that bear the stamp of Eros.
The speed of this Mizhao military direct transport elevator is about more than 300 kilometers per hour, which is not very fast, but its advantages are that it has a large fuel load, a longer range than ordinary helicopters, and the internal space is also sufficient.
"Brother Wu Gang, I really envy you, you can easily find this kind of helicopter, I don't know when I can have such a helicopter."
"You can buy a helicopter like this, do you want it? Can I get you one for you? ”
"Really?" Han Chong is not joking, now, Han Chong has a Lantian mine in Xijing, and in the future, if he has his own helicopter, it will be much more convenient.
Moreover, the helicopter that marks E Ross or the United States, even if it flies over the waters of other countries, no one dares to fire shells easily, which can be regarded as a kind of protection from the halos of these two countries.
If Han Chong can get one, it would be wonderful.
"When have I ever joked with you. Actually, I have plans to buy one, and I will contact you. The two of us are exactly one person and one plane. ”
"But how much does this helicopter cost?"
"The most expensive military helicopter gunship is the Apache in the United States, which costs about 12 million US dollars, but I have always felt that the Apache is not suitable for long-distance flights, and the Mi-type helicopter of E Ross is better and more cost-effective. The cost is between 5,000 and 70 million RMB, and I think you can also afford this cost. ”
"Military helicopters, I think I might need to keep a low profile."
Han Chong is not like Wu Gang's eldest brother, he has his own armed forces. He used it more for treasure hunting, and he didn't want to be too ostentatious.
"Okay, I know that."
Han Chong and the few people sent by the Burmese military, there were a total of seven people, and they didn't look crowded at all when they sat in this cabin, and they even had room to lean down and sleep.
When the helicopter's propellers spin up, sleeping is almost impossible. Because of that loud roar. The shock made several people in the cabin red-faced. Everyone opened their mouths wide to relieve the discomfort in their ears, only the Burmese soldiers and Wu Gang were still doing normal, as for Xu Guang, Han Chong and the two professors. It's really miserable, and the eardrums seem to be about to burst.
The two professors, who were still thinking about continuing to chat on the helicopter, turned pale and kept silent after the helicopter took off. Even if you open your mouth, you can fill your stomach with the smell of the rainforest. Fortunately, the temperature in Myanmar is above 20 degrees. Otherwise, everyone in the cabin will be frozen into popsicles.
After leaving the barracks, about half an hour passed. Feeling a little used to it, Han Chong looked at the ground from the glass in the cabin. However, all eyes can see are tall trees and dense forests, and there is no scenery to speak of.
It's the dry season in Myanmar, and the tall broad-leaved trees are also looking a little wilted. The leaves on the trunk of the tree were very scarce, and after Han Chong looked down for more than ten minutes, there was no one to see. Slightly desolate.
However, now is the best time to mine jadeite in Myanmar, because when the rainy season comes, the mountain roads will be very difficult to walk, not to mention people, even livestock can not pass, so now in the mining area, is the busiest time.
The mountains of Myanmar are not particularly steep, but they are endless, one mountain after another, dense jungles, Han Chong believes that if he is thrown from here, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape from it for a year and a half.
Looking at the towering trees under the plane, Han Chong felt very incredible about the social form of Myanmar, Myanmar itself is close to the seaport, the geographical location is very important, and the inland is rich in precious stones and precious teak, but the Burmese people are so poor, I don't know where the root of this comes from.
After more than an hour, the helicopter slowed down and slowly stopped on a hill, Han Chong thought that he had reached the ground, so he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and jumped off the helicopter.
"This ...... What is this place? It's not Myitkyina, is it? ”
Han Chong looked around, there were dense forests everywhere, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Gang, even if this northern Myanmar is barren, it is impossible not to even see a figure.
"It's not. We're only halfway there, and the driver needs to take a break, come on, man, and have a drink. ”
Wu Gang smiled and handed Han Chong a bottle of drink.
It is more appropriate to say that the pilot wants to rest, but it is better to say that the helicopter needs to rest, because after the helicopter stops, the pilot is busy, and he is checking whether the various parts of the helicopter are working properly, you know, this is an old antique from thirty or forty years ago, and it cannot support a flight for several hours on end.
If there is something wrong in the sky, I am afraid that the people on the helicopter will be smashed into pulp before the parachute is opened, but the military facilities produced by the polar bear are still trustworthy in terms of quality, at least Wu Gang has sat many times, and there has been no problem.
Professor Ma and Professor Liang also helped each other and walked down from the helicopter, their bodies and bones were not as good as Han Chong's, they would have been pale in the face, if they hadn't helped each other, I am afraid they would have fallen to the ground long ago.
"Two teachers, it's nothing, I'm really sorry to let the two of you suffer, there are also mineral veins nearby, but we have to work harder, rush to Pa Kang, I don't know if the two teachers can hold on a little longer?"
Wu Gang saw the two professors get off the helicopter and hurriedly greeted them, he just wanted to arrive in the Phakant area of Myitkyina as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that the two of them could not withstand the bumps of the helicopter.
In fact, taking a train in Myanmar is probably not as good as this helicopter. It takes almost twenty hours to get from Mandalay to Myitkyina, and the bumps along the way are even more intense.
"It's okay, it's okay, Wu Gang. We can insist, I really didn't expect that the growth environment of the jade mine will be in this kind of place, hearing is false, seeing is believing......"
"yes, it's hard to imagine how barren this place is."
"Not really. That's hard work for two. ”
"It's fine. It's okay. ”
Professor Ma waved his hand again and again, indicating that he had no problem, the beauty of jadeite is well known, but the mining and growing environment behind jadeite is rarely mentioned in the world, because of the Myanmar government's seclusion. This is just like the Qing Dynasty government in the feudal society, which closed itself off from the country, and in the end, it was only itself that was backward and beaten.
Formation of jadeite geology and landforms. It has always been a topic of discussion among domestic geologists, and now that they have the opportunity to see the geological environment in which jadeite grows, the two professors are tired, but their faces are still full of excitement.
During this period. Han Chong and the two professors also chatted briefly. But the two professors still didn't know much about Han Chong, so they didn't think too highly of Han Chong at all, they just thought that he was Wu Gang's younger brother.
The younger brother is the younger brother, and Han Chong also sits on what the younger brother should do. The two professors are looking forward to it.
In fact, he also respects the old and loves the young in his heart.
After resting for more than an hour, several people boarded the helicopter again. They just drank some water, but they didn't dare to eat, otherwise they would have to vomit out what they had eaten.
The flight lasted nearly two hours, and from the helicopter there was already a faint presence on the ground, and at nearly five o'clock the helicopter also landed in a military camp in Myitkyina, where troops were basically stationed outside the city.
"Two professors, Brother Han and Brother Xu, let's pick you up tomorrow, and take a good rest today." Wu Gang looked at everyone's appearance and knew that he was probably not in the mood to eat or something.
"Okay."
Everyone spoke in unison.
"Then you're going to rest first?"
Wu Gang looked at the pale faces of several people and knew that they wouldn't be able to eat anything at night.
"Well, let's rest first."
Wu Gang then used the car he was waiting in the barracks to send several people to the most luxurious hotel in Myitkyina.
Han Chong looked from the car, the city of Myitkyina is far worse than Yangon and Mandalay, at least in those two cities, there are some modern buildings, but here, all you see are low wooden houses, reinforced concrete buildings are very rare.
The so-called luxury hotel is just a five-story building, except for a 32-inch color TV and an old yellowed air conditioner, there is no electrical appliances, no water heater to boil water, and the waiter has to send it over. Han Chong and the others were really tired, and after taking a shower in the room, they all went to bed.
Although Wu Gang also has a house in Myitkyina, the Wu family's roots in Myanmar are in Hpakant, and he also stayed in a hotel with Han Chong and others today. By the next morning, two imported SUVs had stopped in front of the hotel.
This is Wu Gang's private car, if you take the car provided by the military, it is probably the Chinese-made Laobeijing Jeep 212, once at a certain time, the country once supported such a batch of jeeps in Myanmar.
Both of these off-road vehicles have large tires that set off the deer plate very high, and it looks like they have been modified with guide doors.
When he came by helicopter yesterday, Han Chong saw the roads around here. Basically, it is a mountain road, if you do the car before Wu Gang, you will definitely lie down if you can't walk two miles of road.
Han Chong, Xu Guang and Wu Gang sat in a car, and another Burmese soldier came from Mandalay, and the other two soldiers sat in a car with two professors, Ma Liang.
Although along the way, the three Burmese soldiers did not speak much and remained silent all the time, Han Chong still felt that they were paying attention to the every move of his group, and they were monitoring their own behavior. And on their waists, they are unabashedly hung in their hands and gun holsters.
Han Chong didn't doubt that there were no real guys there.
This made Han Chong a little uncomfortable, because the purpose of his visit this time was not to investigate the jade mine, but to find the treasure from the forest. If you follow these soldiers, will it be possible to find a treasure dedicated to the Burmese government?
Han Chong is not so noble, these things themselves are Chinese, buddy take them back, it will be completely returned to Zhao, and they cannot be robbed by this batch of Burmese warlords.
After getting into the car, Han Chong's car drove in front and slowly drove out of the city, don't look at Myitkyina's relatively poor, but the population is quite large. The narrow streets were full of bare-bottomed children, so the car couldn't speed up at all, and it took nearly half an hour to drive for just a few kilometers.
Think about family planning in China, which began in the late 70s of the last century. It is still very necessary, otherwise in the past few decades, I am afraid that by now, it will not be 16.7 billion people, and it is very possible to double it again, thinking about that situation, Han Chong shuddered.
Originally, I thought that when I got to the outside of the city, the speed of the car could be accelerated a little, but Han Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the small pebble paved road, this kind of road can't be driven fast at all, otherwise it is estimated that the tires will not be able to support Pakang.
Myitkyina is still the capital of Kachin State, and the roads are in such poor condition that the warlords must have cared about the territory and no one cared about these things.
If you want to talk about Kachin State, it is actually the Jingpo people in our country, but the Jingpo people are much happier than them, at least they will not roll in the mud when they go out on rainy days.
After walking through a gravel road, Han Chong realized that he still thought that the journey to Hpakant was too simple, this had not yet reached the mining area, the conditions were already very bad, if he really entered the mining area, he did not know what would happen.
In the previous treasure hunts, Han Chong had endured hardships, but it seemed that this time it seemed to be much more severe than before, and the test would be greater.
Looking ahead, the road ahead is already completely dirty road, one high and one low, the people in the car are dancing up and down with the bumps of the car, if it weren't for the steep mountains here, Han Chong would rather do a helicopter again.
This bump is bearable a little, but when he thinks of the plastic bombs and grenades in Xu Guang's bag, Han Chong is a little restless, which makes Han Chong feel like he is sitting on an explosive bag.
Han Chong is not a military fan, and he doesn't know that plastic bombs will not explode without special detonation, even if they are burned, but this heart is in vain. (To be continued......)
