On the wide rear deck of the engineering ship, there are all kinds of vehicles neatly arranged, as if they are engaged in a construction machinery exhibition.

Eighteen large "According to Law" (IFA) trucks clinging to the stern of the boat, painted in white, could easily be mistaken for a United Nations peacekeeping vehicle if it were not for the huge NB Electric blue logo. They look brand new, and if you look closely, you will see that they are all old.

This guy has it in China, and it has been imported from East Germany since the 60s, and in the 80s, it was its W50 series that was imported in large quantities, and there were 50,000 units if not 100,000 units. Later, a heavy-duty diesel-powered truck was even copied, called the "Yellow River".

When he was in the army, it was the main transport vehicle in the regiment, Chen Zhenghuai was very familiar with it, with a four-cylinder engine, 150 horsepower, twin-turbocharged, oil-gas hybrid brakes, rear wheel differential locks, exhaust brakes, and fuel consumption of only 16 liters per 100 kilometers...... The leather is durable, and the quality is much stronger than that of "liberation". It's just that it's too ugly, like a fat face that has been swollen, rough and bulky, and noisy like a tank.

The charter is no stranger to it, and the district power supply bureau where her mother Wu Xiulan works has one.

When I was a child, I often wandered around under the guise of helping the driver wash the car, and the driver was happy and could climb up and sit for a while.

The engine is between the driver and the co-pilot, and it is covered with a layer of artificial leather, which is very high and awkward. The start button is a black button in the left knee position. As soon as I pressed it, the whole car swayed, and then there was a puff of black smoke, and the car started with a howl. I remember one winter when it was very cold, I ordered a brazier to bake under the engine, otherwise I couldn't pull it.

"These were loaded at Cuxport during the second replenishment, when there were twenty-six of them. Considering that the car has been discontinued. There are no off-the-shelf spare parts to purchase. Simply dismantle the car in poor condition. After nearly a month of hard work by the boys, these eighteen cars were finally pieced together. You can rest assured that all engines and key spare parts have been inspected, and there are no problems with it for a year. ”

The three-team team led by Dr. Hall was responsible for the modification of the three broken ships, such as adding more beds for accommodation, expanding facilities such as kitchens and cold storage, and installing desalination equipment and power generation equipment.

Mr. Hertz, a veteran captain of the former East German Victory Shipping Company, and his old buddies were in charge of the voyage. With a voyage of more than 10,000 kilometers, it is not easy to overcome many stormy seas, and it is not easy to tow two flat-bottomed nanny boats with such a shallow draft from Germany with an old broken ship.

The team of Bernard engineers in front of me is the largest and busiest.

It is necessary to assist Dr. Hall in the refit, and to help Captain Hertz repair various minor problems that continue to occur during the voyage of the three broken ships, and at the same time, it is necessary not to delay the modification of the "Turbojet Fire Tank", and the maintenance and painting of firefighting, engineering and transport vehicles.

These trucks are all waste materials disposed of by the Trusteeship Bureau, and they are not even idle materials, and they are worth two pennies to buy back, and they can be put together and put on the road. Although it can only be used for a year or two. But a year or two is enough, and when the time comes, if anyone wants to buy it, they will sell it. No one wants to buy it and throw it away, so I don't feel distressed at all.

Statute was extremely satisfied, clasped his hand and said, "Good work, Mr. Bernard, I can't think of anything else you can't fix when I see them as new." ”

"Zhang, this is my job," Engineer Bernard said with a rough hand and an embarrassed expression, "In fact, repairing these cars is really nothing, after all, the doctor has provided all the tools we need, including advanced CNC machines, which was unimaginable before." ”

The former East Germany's planning economy was so rigid that it was difficult to buy a car, and it was even more difficult to buy spare parts, so much so that many car owners had to work on the table with the simplest tools themselves.

UB162-1 excavator, three-person bulldozer, fire trucks, cranes and RVs transformed "according to law", one after another, occupy almost the entire rear deck. When you walk to the junction between the rear deck and the superstructure, you can see the "Turbojet Fire Tank" that has just completed the most rear-end painting.

Not bad, very good!

The six turbojet engines were coated in a heat-resistant aluminum skin, as if mounted on the MiG-21. The rivets are polished smoothly and there are no burrs at all. It is painted white and has the blue logo of NB Electric on it. The installation is seamless, and it looks natural, not like a makeshift patchwork of rags.

Chartered climbed into the control room, looked left and right like a curious child, and then opened the bulletproof glass window, and asked curiously: "Mr. Bernard, where is the other one?" ”

"Three chassis, only six engines, and one on a truck with a jack, we tested it in the Mediterranean, and although the power is a little smaller, there is no problem with using it."

"So we have four turboblast firefighting equipment that can deal with four oil wells at the same time?"

"No," Engineer Bernard shook his head and smiled, "Zhang, I think it's been a long time since you've been in contact with the Doctor, and the fire fighting and blowout control experts he has assembled believe that not every fire well needs a turbo fire truck. As long as there is a water source, as long as the oil pipeline can be utilized, and as long as there are enough experienced manpower, our existing equipment can deal with ten or more ports at the same time. ”

"Really?"

"You can follow me down the deck and have a look."

When I walked into the second deck, I realized that Dr. Klinsmann was not generally well prepared, but very, very well.

Six large water pumps that can be used to pump seawater, more than 30 high-pressure water pumps, more than 50 sets of diesel generator sets, steel pipes, fire hoses, fire sprinklers and water cannons of various calibers are piled up, and even a cabin waterproof plastic cloth has been prepared.

In addition, there are long-arm cranes used to control blowouts, which are stacked on the foredeck one by one, and are lifted onto trucks with the cranes brought by the construction ship, and transported to the construction site for assembly and use.

Fire-fighting equipment, lighting equipment, epidemic prevention drugs...... With the exception of raw materials such as steel pipes, hoses, pharmaceuticals and plastic sheeting, everything else is second-hand, apparently bought at the lowest prices from the former East German state-owned enterprises.

The charter was overjoyed, turned around and smiled: "It seems that we need to expand the size of the firefighting team, Uncle Chen, you can have an explanation from above, two hundred firefighters, let them be ready to go at any time." ”

Chen Zhenghuai didn't know how to explain to Lu Dao, so he immediately blurted out: "Okay, I'll go to the nanny car to contact China." ”

Looking at his departing back, the charter continued: "Ali's side has started construction, and we have enough reason to send people into Kuwait." Major, inform the Doctor that the firefighting specialists, blowout control specialists, and fire leaders should immediately set off to complete the fire investigation before the government-in-exile returns to Kuwait. ”

"Yes, sir."

The sun is fine here, but Kuwait is a different story.

The scourge of war was more terrible than natural disasters, and Saddam Hussein smashed Kuwait's "oil gold pot" to pieces, and 727 of the nearly 1,000 oil wells were ignited by the war, and the raging fires burned at least 6 million barrels of crude oil every day, causing losses of at least $100 million a day.

To make matters worse, burning oil wells release more than 20,000 tons of soot into the atmosphere every day, and the sky is dark as well as the ground. Noon in Kuwait turned into midnight with black smoke obscuring the sky, and vehicles had to turn on their lights and visibility was only 3 metres.

Everywhere there are ruins and broken walls, and there are dense craters everywhere, some left over from the Iraqi invasion and some from the bombing of the United States. Infrastructure such as power plants, power grids, desalination and communications have been destroyed, and even zoo animals have become meals for Iraqi troops.

As soon as the German chief engineer Al-Burda and Mohammed's younger brother Ali entered Kuwait City, they asked the Kuwait National Power Company personnel to take more than 60 NB engineers to the Shuweih Power Plant, the Shuaiba North Power Plant, the Shuaibanan South Power Plant, the Doha East Power Plant, and the Doha West Power Plant.

On-site assessment of the extent of the damage to see which power plant can generate electricity again within eight days.

The large army is divided into six routes, with the palace as the center, to the surrounding section by section to overhaul the medium and high voltage transmission lines. Nasouf, the first Kuwaiti agent to return home, led the Chinese, German, Saudi, Kuwaiti and Egyptian power engineering technicians arranged for him by the charter and recruited by himself, to rush to repair the low-voltage lines of important facilities such as the royal palace, the telegraph building, the airport and the docks.

It is worth mentioning that he took over the project himself.

The Kuwaiti government has always implemented a policy of "internal protection", and foreign companies that want to do business in Kuwait have to cooperate with Kuwaitis, except for some large and very large projects.

In the face of national disaster, he risked his life to come back to rebuild his home, and of course the royal family had to take care of it. On his way into Kuwait City with the United States troops, his wishes were endorsed by representatives of the Reconstruction Committee and the National Electricity Company.

There is no need to sign a contract, and the construction will be carried out directly, just as NB Electric will not let its partners suffer, and the Kuwaiti royal family will not let his people suffer.

Just as everyone was rushing to repair the power grid, three Germans dressed in Mohammed Power Installation Company uniforms, led by Leo, the deputy director of Middle East projects, found the Kuwait Oil Company building with ease.

The U.S. military is clearing out Iraqi soldiers who may be hiding in the city, and there is almost no one to guard it, except for important facilities such as palaces and banks, and there is real anarchy.

Leo looked at the time on his watch, turned on the warning light on the construction truck, and said expressionlessly: "If it wasn't burned by the Iraqis, the drawings should be in the basement, hang up the power maintenance sign, act quickly, I'll give you the wind." ”

The three "Stasi" spies who had worked with him before the reunification of Germany and Germany nodded slightly, swaggered into the building with their kits on their backs.

Their goal is to get the pipeline and well drawings right, and if they can get it, they will make the next firefighting operation more effective. There is no loss if it doesn't succeed, it competes fairly on a starting line, and has four turbojet fire trucks, NB Electric is not afraid of any challenge from a fire company.

There is no problem in terms of security, and with legal identity as a cover, no one can find any thorns. (To be continued......)
