12-98 The Bird of Paradise in Bloom
The MiG-21 did not go far, but flew back again in a circle, using the on-board 30-mm cannon to strafe the fleeing mercenaries, although there is no difference between a supersonic fighter attacking the ground with a cannon and an anti-aircraft gun hitting mosquitoes, but the psychological shock is still very powerful, and this also shows one thing, the airfield has been lost.
This MiG-21 did take off from the San Juan airport, and General Gordon's troops stationed at the airport were attacked from two sides, on one side was Prime Minister Martin's army, and on the other hand was an unknown force, but the combat effectiveness was quite strong, and the mercenaries saw that the situation was not good, and they chose to break through from the direction of the attack of Martin's army, and used strong firepower to tear a passage and flee to the border.
Li Jianguo and Martin met at the airport, and they unexpectedly found that there were two MiG-21 fighters in the hangar, which was still left by the Russian ** firearms dealer, but no one would drive this kind of supersonic fighter, even if the all-round special forces could not even be competent as a fighter pilot, at this time Bei Xiaoshuai's ability was revealed, he was a mechanic and a pilot, all live.
MiG-21 is a front-line light fighter designed and manufactured by the former Soviet Union in the fifties, like all Soviet weapons, characterized by solid leather, durable, fourth-generation fighters need several mechanics to wait for an hour before takeoff, and MiG-21 only needs one person, Bei Xiaoshuai hung a rocket nest on the fighter with the assistance of everyone, climbed on the plane skillfully flipped various switches, and the tail of the fighter spewed a stream of flames, and quickly took off.
Although the distance from the airport to Wood Manor is not far, it takes dozens of minutes to drive, but the plane is much faster, and it flies to the place in less than a minute.

As a journalist, Jiang Xueqing was not only allowed to broadcast the entire civil war in Western Sadamoa, but also obtained exclusive interviews with the king and the leader of the royal army, which she never dreamed of.
After the last news accident, Jiang Xueqing angrily left Jiangdong Provincial TV Station, and entered CCTV under the recommendation of a friend, and entered the International Department as a reporter.
Originally, there was a hard and fast rule in Taiwan, reporters were not allowed to go deep into the war zone, and at most they could only interview the workers at the relatively safe San Juan International Port, but Jiang Xueqing happened to meet a few Hong Kong reporters, and they were moved to take risks as soon as they sobbed, and it happened that her photographer was also a very adventurous young man, and everyone ran to the city of San Juan together, and they deserved their shit luck, just when the royalist army attacked San Juan on a large scale, the reporters were like cats that saw fish and could no longer take a step. Hiding on the roof of a building to photograph the crossfire on the street from a distance.
Then what happened just now, the reporters were invited to the armored car, zero contact with the war, at this moment their sense of professional honor was all sublimated to the peak, a war correspondent's pride and ambition filled their chests, with the camera in their hands faithfully recorded the battle picture.
Jiang Xueqing is even more at home, she is allowed to follow Liu Ziguang for interviews and filming, while those Hong Kong reporters do not have this honor.
The royalist army went very smoothly, and soon advanced to the front of the Western Government Building, which was garrisoned by some soldiers and policemen, who were originally instigated by Perez, and did not have much loyalty, and when they saw the king's flag, they immediately raised the white flag and surrendered.
Seeing the white flag stretched out from the building, the people outside cheered, some fired guns into the sky, some danced in the street, and the reporters who watched were dazzled and stunned, whether this was a war or a performance art.
The surrenderer came out of the building, threw his gun aside, raised his hands in the air, and a group of soldiers of the Protector Army rushed up, Jiang Xueqing immediately raised her camera, and she realized that there was going to be a big news.
To everyone's surprise, the captives were not shot in the streets, they laid down their weapons and received flowers, the orange-red bird of paradise, the national flower of Western Sadamoa and the symbol of the royal family, and everyone could not help but cheer at this moment, holding up the bouquets in their hands, and shouting one word in the street full of bullet casings, that is, "peace".
Jiang Xueqing put down the camera, her mood was also fluctuating, she didn't know at the moment that the photo just now would make her win the Pulitzer Prize and become one of the internationally renowned journalists.
The war ended, the king regained the capital, and the people of Western Sadamoa, who had once again experienced a catastrophe, finally realized the importance of peace, and they poured into the streets, shouting for peace, and strongly demanding that the warlords who were still fighting lay down their arms and surrender to the king.
His Majesty Arthur complied with the will of the people and issued an edict demanding that Alfonso. Perez and Martin and their supporters laid down their arms and ordered all foreign mercenaries to leave Western Sadamoa as soon as possible, failing which they would be punished with the severest possible punishment.
As soon as the edict was issued, San Juan boiled again, the people cheered long live the king, and welcomed His Majesty Arthur back to the palace with a sea of birds of paradise, and the media from all walks of life from all over the world flocked to ask for an interview with His Majesty the young, mysterious king, and the royal office adopted the most open and friendly attitude towards the media, allowing them to interview the king in all directions, of course, the priority was still left to Jiang Xueqing.
This is not the first time Arthur Jr. has been exposed to the camera, but compared to the last time, he has faintly had the bearing of some heads of state, coupled with his outrageous young age, innocent eyes, snow-white teeth, and fluent English and Chinese, he has won the favor of reporters and hundreds of millions of global viewers in front of television.
His Majesty held a press conference in the ruined palace, and he wore a Nike sweatshirt and looked like a middle school student.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the current situation?" An Associated Press reporter asked.
"The war must stop, the killing must stop, and if they don't put down their guns, I'm going to send someone to kick them in the ass and kick them out of my country."
If any politician had spoken in this way, he would have been criticized for having no city, but the words uttered by such a young king were met with spontaneous applause.
A Chinese female reporter asked: "Your Majesty, may I ask your attitude towards China's aid projects?" ”
"During the San Juan massacre, it was the Chinese medical team who protected us, and later they helped us build schools, build hospitals, and help us dig up buried minerals, and these measures will make my people happier than before, so I like them, and I welcome them."
A Japanese reporter raised his hand: "Your Majesty, I heard that your army commander is a Chinese, is there such a thing?"
"Yes, my commander is from China, but he is now a citizen of Western Sadamoa."
The Japanese reporter did not stop: "I heard that he was once a criminal convict who was sentenced to death, does Your Majesty know about this?" ”
"I know that he was the hero who protected thousands of refugees during the San Juan massacre, and that his bronze statue stands in the heart of San Juan; I know he gave tens of billions of dollars worth of his fortune to charity; But I didn't know that the courts of Western Sadamoa had convicted him. ”
The BBC reporter asked impatiently: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the racial contradictions facing Western Sadama? ”
"My ideal Western Sadamoa is one that does not discriminate between races, nationalities, or colors."
There was another round of applause, and everyone was deeply moved by the little king's wit and eloquence.
The press conference quickly spread around the world through the Internet, and King Arthur's background was also unearthed by a reporter of good deeds, it turned out that the little king was the illegitimate son of the former king, a mixed race of the Caille and Wendu tribes, who grew up in the slums and was once the youngest waiter at the San Juan Hotel where Europeans gathered.
The legendary experience swept the world, and for a time it rolled up Arthur's frenzy, his photos and videos and various materials were wildly reprinted on Facebook and youtube, and the attention was far greater than that of the Western Sadamoa Civil War, no one cared about what Kuba, Perez, and even more concerned about how Jose died, whether there was fraud in the election, little Arthur won the attention of the world, whether it was the elderly, young or middle-aged, they were deeply moved by this African king with a rough life.
"Oh, he looks as big as the neighbor's Jimmy, God! Poor boy, how I want to hug him! Countless middle-class American housewives have expressed such sentiments.
"If the time comes, we would like to invite His Majesty Arthur to visit Buckingham Palace." A spokesman for the British royal family told the media.
"We should pay attention to the situation in Western Sadamoa and stop the killing there immediately." In the U.S. House of Representatives, a female congressman eloquently raised an issue.
Hollywood is also very interested in the theme of Western Sadamoa, and some producers are preparing to invite Spielberg to make a film about the growth of the little king, and some online surveys show that more than 10 million people are interested in this movie.
……
In fact, the reconquest of San Juan did not mean the end of the war, the forces of Perez and Kuba were still in Western Sadamoa, and the international mercenary organization did not leave the country, and the war was only a round.
Only the army of former Prime Minister Martin surrendered their weapons and surrendered to the little king, who pardoned him as agreed.
Perez chose to remain silent, he was just a puppet of Colonel Miller, and he had no political opinions of his own, and he had only one option in such a time of change.
The messenger who went to General Kuba's camp to deliver the message was brutally killed, his head cut off and sent back, and at the same time, Kuba called on the Wendu people to rise up against the rule of the Caye through the radio in his possession, but at this time his words were no longer heard, and Kuba's crimes were revealed to the world through the Internet and spurned by the whole world.
"It's time to kick them in the ass." His Excellency Liu Ziguang, the Supreme Military Commander of Western Sadama, said,
