Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Death of the Airborne (Part II)
The clouds began to break, and the dazzling lightning that had been almost wrapped around the body suddenly disappeared. Looking at the various hands and readings on the dashboard of the plane, which were constantly shaking like a convulsion, Tang Guoming looked at Sasha with some concern: "Can you arrive at the scheduled place within the scheduled flight time?" ”
Reaching out from a corner next to the driver's seat, he found another bottle of vodka with obvious DIY marks, Sasha took a bite of yellow teeth, and bit the cork on the mouth of the bottle hard: "No problem! Old Sasha was never late...... Never! ”
Muttering in response to Tang Guoming's question, Sasha once again immersed himself in an intimate exchange with DIY vodka.
Sighing helplessly, Tang Guoming turned around and returned to the cabin: "How are you preparing for the parachute?" ”
Raising his finger and pointing to the several weapons and equipment boxes that had parachutes attached and beacons arranged, Halbara replied, "As long as these parachutes are okay, then they are fine!" ”
Looking at the parachute bags that obviously showed signs of obsolescence, Tang Guoming sat down on a weapon and equipment box with apprehension, and opened the personal information terminal he carried: "It's already a difficult situation to ride a tiger, so I can only ask God to open my eyes......"
According to the information obtained from the personal information terminal, the total number of large registered tribes in the United Emirate of Bissau is 35, with a total population of about 11 million to 11.5 million.
Bissau was born to be a big granary, the people of Bissau can pick breadfruit when they are hungry, they can hunt a lot of wild animals when they want to eat meat and enter the woods, they can weave if they want to wear clothes and tear the fibers of the bread tree, and the temperature is kept between 28 and 38 degrees Celsius all year round in both dry and rainy seasons, so the need for houses and clothes is also very simple.
In the villages of the Canton of Bissau, the cost of a man marrying a bride is only a mud thatched house with a baobab tree, which basically meets the needs of the family's food, clothing and lodging in the future.
Since food and clothing can be easily obtained, this overly fertile soil and water have led to the habit of not working for generations, and they have become accustomed to watching the sky and eating, while the Chinese expatriates are different.
As if they were born with their own cultivation attributes, no matter where the Chinese are on the earth, but wherever they can grow crops, they are all planted with melons, fruits, vegetables, rice and wheat, which can live up to God's reward for such a piece of land. Not to mention the fertile soil and water in Bissau, not to mention the gap in the market where there are more Chinese expatriates living in Africa and the increasing demand for fresh vegetables from China?
As a result, a large number of Chinese expatriates signed land lease contracts with the United Emirate of Bissau, leased land in Bissau for agricultural planting, and opened patches of green or colorful vegetable gardens.
It may be that the increasingly prosperous days have led to a sluggish sense of crisis, so that Chinese farmers do not anticipate the structural fragility of the country itself.
The thirty-five chiefs who united to form the United Emirate had a civil war over internal interests, in which at least twenty-four tribes were openly involved, and the military, police, or militants, who had coveted the vast wealth earned by the industrious overseas Chinese farmers, now had this opportunity......
Three days before the outbreak of the tribal rebellion, the Chinese embassy had already begun an emergency evacuation operation, but there were so many Chinese farms scattered throughout the country that the Chinese embassy with limited staff could not do everything.
As a result, in the northwestern edge of the United Emirate of Bissau, which is the farthest away from the Chinese embassy, five Chinese farms that had not had time to evacuate were attacked by members of the first rebel tribes.
In the Chinese's innate sense of unity and mutual assistance, the Chinese, who had no time to evacuate, quickly gathered on one of the largest farms. Relying on the rigorously trained fighting qualities of four young men who had served in the field army, the first group of thugs, who were not even fully equipped with firearms and were only going to take advantage of the fire, were driven off the farms.
But then the thugs scattered and fled, and more armed rebels, even armed men in the uniforms of the United Arab Emirates Defence Forces of Bissau, swarmed towards the farms......
Closing the personal information terminal tied to the front of his left arm, Tang Guoming looked up at Pan Guan and the others who were scattered in the cabin: "Are you familiar with the terrain, personnel situation and hostile armed forces?" ”
Closing the personal information terminal that was no longer able to receive new information, Pan Guan nodded vigorously: "No problem!" If we can get there before the second attack by the tribal forces, we should be able to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Sashana's drunken roar sounded in the cockpit: "Encounter thunderstorm clouds!" Hang on! ”
Without waiting for Tang Guoming and the others to react, Sasha had already controlled the An-26 light military transport plane and suddenly started to evade it. The flight, which was originally relatively smooth, suddenly turned into a sudden sideways sharp turn. Tang Guoming and the others, who didn't have time to grasp the fixation on their side, became a rolling gourd in the cabin in the blink of an eye, and they all fell with blue noses and swollen faces!
Regardless of the pain caused by the fall, and the fact that his body was not stable, Tang Guoming had already yelled at Sasha in the cockpit: "Have you drunk too much?" Where did the thunderstorm clouds come from at this height?! ”
Regardless of the fact that he controlled the plane and began to turn around, Sasha, who was already seven points drunk, also tore his throat and shouted: "Then what do I see in front of me?!" ”
Struggling to look up and look out of the cabin, Tang Guoming suddenly saw clouds that were as black as ink, but flashing with strange electric light, like the wild waves of a tsunami, almost blocking the entire sky in his sight, and were surging towards the direction where the plane was!
Crawling into the cockpit, Tang Guoming stared at the sky outside the cockpit window of the plane that suddenly reduced visibility, and shouted at Sasha: "How far are we from our destination?" ”
Sasha: "We're not far away!" But we have to go back! Once the plane gets into the thunderstorm clouds, we're all charred! ”
Almost without any consideration, Tang Guoming suddenly pulled out the self-defense pistol in the holster of his leg and pressed it hard against Sasha's temple: "Lower the height!" Let's skydive and then you fly back! ”
Completely ignoring the cold muzzle of the gun on his temple, Sasha's action of steering the plane remained unchanged at all: "This is impossible! If the plane is flying in thunderclouds, there is still a high probability that it will be struck by lightning! I'm fine even though I'm broken...... Otherwise, do as I say! ”
Forcefully pulling away the pistol hammer, Tang Guoming's voice was as cold as an eternal iceberg: "You are talking about flying for a long time in a stable state, there is a high probability of being struck by lightning!" What I'm asking you to dive and fly and then you get out of it at a very low altitude, which theoretically will greatly reduce the probability of the plane being struck by lightning! Think about it clearly - just run back like this, you won't get a penny of pay, and maybe you will have to pay a small life! If you don't take the risk, or you don't die, you pick one? ”
Looking sideways at Tang Guoming in disbelief, Sasha opened his voice and shouted, "Are you all crazy for money?" All right....... Well, you bunch of crazy people! Open the hatch in advance, I can only give you one chance! If you jump too early, you'll be blown away by the wind for at least a few tens of kilometers! If you jump too late, you'll fall into a mess! You brought it on yourself...... Go back and watch the parachute signal light come on. And then...... You only have a maximum of ten seconds! ”
