Chapter 131 Study of Countermeasures in the Middle East Long-distance transportation by airplane

Seeing the telegram sent back by Sun Chuanting, Chen Yufeng praised it greatly, "Sun Chuanting has good means, and he will never be soft when he should start, it seems that we chose Sun Chuanting to go to the Middle East Special Administrative Region to choose the right person!" ”

Ouyang He said with some worry: "If you don't kill when you should kill, you can't kill it!" But if they kill all those big monks, will there be any trouble? ”

"It's going to be a bit of trouble!" Zhang Zhimu said, "However, those big monks are actually big landlords, and they control a lot of land lease rights, which is actually usurping land." If we take back the land in their hands, they will definitely fight to defend their interests. Therefore, Sun Chuanting, they killed them, and they also left less trouble. Where we have just taken over, it is necessary to first establish our majesty. While everything is chaotic when you just go in, it's better to get rid of hidden dangers than to get rid of them when you're stable! However, the monks themselves are somewhat deceptive. Remind Sun Chuanting that they must prevent someone from making a fuss about this! ”

Ouyang He said: "Li Feng, the first cavalry army, they are the first army, and no matter how fast they are, it will take a few days to arrive." Officers who are trained will not be sent out until mid-year, and it will take time to get there. According to Sun Chuanting's report, Egypt is a hard bone! Taking over there is not much different from laying down there! There is also a condition for the Ottoman Empire to rule there that they are all ***. And we are not the same, for them, pagans. ”

"I said that Sun Chuanting's clever methods are also here. If those ** and the Mamluk lords go back and organize the Mamluk cavalry to fight against us, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to exterminate them. In that case, more people will die! Now, those Mamluk cavalry have no lords, and Sun Chuanting and them will be easy to deal with a little means! Chen Yufeng is very supportive of Sun Chuanting's approach.

"It seems that Egypt is going to kill some people!" Ouyang He said, coming to the map on the wall, "However, if Egypt is solved, Sun Chuanting's takeover task will be half completed!" ”

"Hurry up and finish over there in Egypt! Mu Yi: Their fleet can't always be with them somewhere. Chen Yufeng and Zhang Zhimu also came to the map.

Ouyang He said: "In my opinion, the next step for us to cooperate with them is to send our ship from the Western Ocean (Indian Ocean). ”

Chen Yufeng looked at the map and said: "Zheng He's fleet has been to Tianfang (Mecca) and Adan (Aden) several times in the Western Ocean. Our big ships can supply Sun Chuanting in these ports. ”

Looking at the map, Zhang Zhimu sighed and said, "It's a pity! When the Arab Empire did not fall, it was larger than the Ottoman Empire today. But their children and grandchildren were not able to keep such a great inheritance. You see, the whole Arabian Peninsula, all these good places along the coast were the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Only the desert areas of the peninsula were left for the Arabs! ”

Chen Yufeng smiled and said, "Hehe! I wonder if our children and grandchildren will be able to keep the places we have laid for them. ”

"It should be possible, every step we take is thinking about long-term peace and stability. We have been controlling the pace of development just to digest the places we occupy! Ouyang He said.

"Huh! This step in our Middle East is really a bit big! Chen Yufeng smiled and said.

"It's better to bring it early! In the future, we will basically be able to digest these places slowly! Zhang Zhimu said.

Liu Yunjin said: "The Air Force Command of the Fangcai Air Force reported that ten planes had been transferred to the Tabriz airfield south of the Black Sea. The next stop is to Baghdad airport. When Lord Sun and Li Kui and their airport are built, they can go over to support them! ”

"Baghdad airfield?" Zhang Zhimu didn't know when Baghdad had an airfield.

"That's right," Liu Yun explained, "and after we decided to send planes to the Middle East, I consulted with General Ningde and asked him to give orders to the troops living in the Lianghe area." It was up to them to repair an airfield with a dirt runway. The officers and soldiers living in Baghdad worked hard, and the climate there was dry, and the construction of the airfield was very fast. The track, which was compacted with soil, was almost repaired in a hurry. To be on the safe side, they also cut down wood and built a fence around the airport! ”

"Hmmm! Good! "The place in Baghdad itself is very important, and in order to bring in cement as soon as possible, a decent airport must be built there." ”

"We have a 5,000-ton sailing ship that has sailed to the Persian Gulf, and it has a lot of steel and concrete on board. Cement is not only needed to build airports, but also to build bridges and roads. Liu Yun said.

"After we killed the killers in the two river basins, it was basically stable. Our roads into the two river basins are also being repaired. As long as the road is open, we can respond quickly to anything. Ouyang He said, "Lord Sun, the discovery of asphalt ore is good news. When they are stable, the road to the asphalt mine must be repaired. That way the road over there can also be asphalted! ”

"Yes! With asphalt high-grade highways, we have cars that can maneuver quickly, and this advantage can be brought into play. The living standards of the people there can also be improved rapidly, and it will be convenient for us to govern wherever we want to go in the future! Chen Yufeng said.

"By the way, Lord Sun also sent a telegram to ask, can you support them to build a hospital over there? The sulfonamides in Cairo are all exchanged for gold! Liu Yun said.

"Huh! This is the case for TV and newspapers and radio stations. Otherwise, the people of Yaogang still don't know how happy their lives are. When they got sick at home and made a call, the ambulance took the doctor to the hospital, and then they talked about what medicine to use to treat the disease first. Don't worry about the price at all. Now that I think about it, I get confused, and I often ask myself if this is true. Chen Yufeng was very emotional.

"Uncle Chen said this, Liu Yun will inform Editor-in-Chief Fan!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Mr. Lu has organized a large team to prepare to enter our Middle East Special Administrative Region. It is necessary to build ticket numbers, shops, cinemas, radio stations, telephone and telegraph offices on the land. I think let's add the hospital! The doctor asked Zhang Bo (Zhang Bengui) and Zhang Bingchen to arrange for the doctor to come over! The whole of the Middle East also needs a hospital like this. ”

"If you want to build a bigger hospital, don't be like our two hospitals in Yaogang, which are expanded every year, and they are not enough every year!" Chen Yufeng said.

"Huh! There's really no way around it," Ouyang said, "and we're building hospitals in all our state capitals." But now that the people are living better, they have a little silver, and they are willing to go all the way to the kiln to see a doctor. And there are more and more people. I think the busiest thing in our kiln is the big hospital! ”

"Oops! This is still they separated the maternity hospital and pediatrics, otherwise there would be more people! Zhang Zhimu said, "In my opinion, our medical school in Taiyuan will expand its enrollment this year, and the number of doctors now is one point in the country, and it is pitiful." ”

Ouyang He suggested: "Li Mao, they have a lot of doctors in the big hospital in Hankou, can we rely on it and build a medical school in Hankou." We'll just send out some teachers! In a few years, a group of doctors will be trained over there! ”

"Good! Mr. Ouyang's suggestion is very good. Zhang Zhimu said, "The faculty of medical schools on both sides can also be exchanged in turn." In order to improve each other! Medical schools must have a large hospital to rely on. A medical school teacher who can't see a doctor won't be a qualified teacher! ”

"Zhimu! Let's build this as soon as possible! In my opinion, we now have no shortage of generals who can fight, but there is a shortage of doctors! Now that human life is worth money, there is even less shortage of doctors! Chen Yufeng said.

"Okay, I'll arrange this right away." Zhang Zhimu said to Liu Yun again, "You call Commander Liu, if you don't have anything important, come here." I would like to find out about their Air Force! ”

"Hey, hey! Not today! Liu Yun said with a smile.

"Huh? What's going on today? Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Today for the first time, our two transport planes are transporting military supplies to the west. Commander Liu personally flew with him! Liu Yun said.

"This bastard! He is the commander of the Air Force, how can he follow the experiment? Besides, he didn't report a word when he opened a kiln post in a commander! Chen Yufeng was a little angry.

"Blame me for this! That's what I'm talking about! Liu Yun hurriedly said.

"You're going to agree with him doing that?" Chen Yufeng was very dissatisfied.

"Oops! Uncle Chen: Actually, our cargo plane is already very safe! For more than a year, I flew to Xi'an, Baotou, and Beijing every day. Li Jing and the others have taken people to parachute from the plane every day these days. Liu Yun explained, "This time to the west for long-distance supply, Lao Liu is to grasp the first-hand information. And the two planes fly together, there is a situation to take care of each other! ”

"Hmm!" Chen Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief!

Ouyang He said: "In the future, Commander Xiangliu must report to them to open a kiln post, and we can only agree to it." Otherwise, once there is a situation and no one can be found, isn't it a joke? ”

"Yes!" Liu Yun knew that what he did was wrong.

"Our Chief of Staff Liu and they are all brothers, and we can take care of everything!" Chen Yufeng knocked Liu Yun a sentence.

Liu Yun was a little hung up, but he also knew that what Chen Yufeng said was not wrong. Today's matter, he should have reported it to the end, and then told Liu Chenghuang if he could go. And today, I was a little concerned about face and agreed directly. Come to think of it, this is really not a small matter.

Ouyang He relieved Liu Yun and said: "In the future, we must pay attention to such things!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Yun agreed.

"Tell me about their flight path today?" Chen Yufeng didn't want to embarrass Liu Yun too much, so he asked.

"The supplies they are transporting today are mainly some ammunition and medicine." Liu Yun was relaxed and began to introduce the situation, "Their plan is to take off and land halfway in a section of 1,000 kilometers. After landing, the fuel is replenished and the aircraft is inspected. From Yaogang, the first stop is to Hami, the second stop is to Lake Balkhash, the third stop is to the airport on the east coast of the Black Sea, and the fourth stop is the airfield on the east shore of the Assyrian Sea for General Ningde and his family. Each leg takes about three to four hours, depending on the wind direction. ”

"So, counting the time to land and resupply. It will take more than ten hours for them to be fast, and more than twenty hours to be slow? Ouyang He calculated.

"The weather was very good today, and according to Shi Tao, they predicted that there would not be too many cumulonimbus clouds along the way. So Lao Liu, they took off as soon as it was dawn today. They said to get there to the Assyrian Sea before dark! Liu Yun said.

"It's the first flight over such a long distance, can the pilots stand it?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Each plane has two pilots, one pair, and one can fly in shifts." Liu Yun said, "The pilots who went this time are all veterans. There are also very experienced mechanics and navigators. There are also alternate airports along the way, and Lao Liu is fully prepared! ”

Liu Chenghuang entered the role so quickly, Zhang Zhimu was very happy. From Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He's faces, Zhang Zhimu also saw a very relieved expression.

"There's a lot of noise on the transport plane, right? Commander Liu, can they fly for a long time? Ouyang He asked.

"It's a lot of noise, but they're all wearing earmuffs that can talk wirelessly! I've been on this kind of plane before, just go up and get used to it for a while! Liu Yun said, "Now Li Jing takes people and practices parachuting as long as the weather is good." It's all right at all! Last time, I followed Li Jing and the others up, and I wanted to jump down after watching those paratroopers jump down one by one. But Li Jing told me that if I don't fall to my death, I will break my leg! Because I haven't practiced! ”

"Haha!" Several people burst out laughing.

Ouyang He suddenly said to Chen Yufeng: "Mr. Chen, can we also take a plane?" ”

"Huh? That's right! Liu Chenghuang: Can they sit, can we sit too? Chen Yufeng pandered and said.

"Come on, don't worry!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Li Yunhe's passenger plane has been flying test. When the plane is ready, you can go and sit again! ”

"Their modified bombers are also flying test. All kinds of ** hangers are also being tested! Li Yunhe said, "Yang Chang, they have also tried several times with an airplane for laser guidance!" ”

"How's the laser-guided ** going?" Chen Yufeng asked.

Zhang Zhimu said for Liu Yun: "There are still problems with stability and accuracy. However, they verified that laser guidance is possible. This is very important. The rest is a matter of improvement! ”

"It seems that the construction of airfields in various parts of our country is going to be accelerated!" Ouyang He said.

"By the way, I have a suggestion that the airport we build should be far away from the city. First, from the perspective of safety, the second is that in the future, the scale of the aircraft airport will have an explosive growth stage, to leave room for future development! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Hmmm! Zhimu is right, I also feel this way, it is very likely that once our local airports are connected, it will be like our local bus stations. Business will be booming in no time! Chen Yufeng said, "Just think about it, in the past, a trip from the Western Regions to our Ming Dynasty had to go back and forth, how many risks had to be experienced, and it was good to go back and forth once a year or two." In the future, with airplanes, one day will be there. The merchants finished their goods and left by plane. The goods were handed over to the transport company for shipment, and he went home and waited. It looks like it costs more money for the plane, but it saves more. ”

"Yes! Later, we went to Hankow, arrived in half a day, and after eating with Li Mao in Hankow, we flew back, and we could eat with our families again in the evening! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Hey! We should build a few more airports along the border. When it's finished, I'll walk around the border, because I'll have too much to know! I've been dreaming about this day! Ouyang He, who rarely shows his feelings, also said a little excitedly.

"Huh! Lao Liu's idea is more interesting," Liu Yun said, "He said, I want to build an air force with 500 bombers and 500 fighters." At that time, the work of the infantry was that we were done blowing, they went to collect the corpses of the enemy, occupy positions, and capture prisoners! ”

"It seems that Commander Liu is still very accurate," Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, the Air Force can completely decide the outcome of the war!" ”

Chen Yufeng said: "Even if you fly a thousand kilometers, the distance is still a little closer." If you attack the enemy, you can only fly 500 kilometers into the enemy country in one round trip. ”

"Hey! You can fly farther. Lao Liu and the others this time for the sake of safety, and also to take care of the airfield on the ground, so they only flew a thousand kilometers and a section. If they load less cargo and more oil, they can fly two or three thousand kilometers at once. Liu Yun said.

"Uncle Chen is talking about using long-range strategic bombers!" Zhang Zhimu said, "When they digest this kind of aircraft for a period of time, they can also develop a more powerful and high-engine engine, and produce a four-engine or even a six-engine large aircraft." Such an aircraft can fly tens of thousands of kilometers for long-range bombing. Such a large transport plane can carry hundreds of people airdrop anywhere at a time. The way warfare is fought will change subversively. ”

"It's like a dream!" Liu Yun said.

"It's not a dream, it's not far into the future!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Will it take a long time for Commander Liu to talk about the hundreds of planes?" As long as they are put into large-scale production, the production line will be expanded. Our current production capacity of electrolytic aluminum is getting higher and higher with the development of electricity! What else can restrain our production? ”

"Liu Yun, you have to organize people to study the use of the Air Force." Chen Yufeng said.

"It's not just a question of the use of the Air Force," Mr. Ouyang said, "and we have to study the whole way of fighting." It is necessary to study the issue of coordination between the army and the air force, the coordination of the navy and the air force, and the use of the air force in special operations. In short, there are more and more questions to be studied! I have an idea to select a group of young officers who have fought in the front line and return to the General Staff to conduct some targeted strategic and tactical research. The future is theirs, let them go first! ”

"I agree with the suggestion, but I think they'd better study it at the Military Academy. We must turn the military academy into a comprehensive military science academy that combines teaching and scientific research! Zhang Zhimu suggested.

A few people were talking lively, and a staff officer hurried in with a telegram. Liu Yun hurriedly went over to take the telegram.
