180 Leased two plots of land
180 rented two plots of land
Lao Qiu lit a big cigar and asked a few of his subordinates, "What do you think?" ”
He was cautious and said, "Do you want to ask the U.S. government to mediate?" ”
Lao Qiu smiled bitterly: "This guy is not good!" At this juncture, give us this one, is there no shadow of Lao Luo in this? The U.S. government is throwing stones to ask for directions! ”
"But we're at war now, how can we give him the port?" ”
Lao Qiu said, "People have already thought about it, haven't you seen it?" You can sign a treaty first and wait until the war is over before delivering! ”
glanced at the crowd, "What I mean, it's impossible to give it to him, and I can't explain it to the country, ask Kane what he means, is it okay to lease him for fifty years?" ”
After a while, he came back with a telegram "Yang Shen's company said that it could only be rented for 20 years, but they offered another condition, asking for the lease of Kwitt City, and also said that the funds were not enough to offset with our materials in Chittagong"
Lao Qiu smoked for a long time before muttering, "Give them a piece of land in Chittagong for them to live in first, and then deliver it after the war, the British Empire is now in turmoil, and it can no longer withstand the wind and waves." ”
Mountbatten conveyed Lao Qiu's meaning to Kane, and everyone left in a huff, and on the way, little Lolo asked Kane, "With so much money, you changed the port, and there is a small desert town?" Are we losing? ”
Kane scratched her nose, "You little money fan, brother told you, the oil that can be buried under the desert!" ”
"Wow!" The big beauty hugged Kane and gnawed at it, causing the people next to her to turn their heads in anger.
Kane finally broke free and said to Lu Wenhua, "We have to hurry up the construction here, you let Lao Li and Lao Zhou pick up the burden first, and build an airport on the land east of the port, and we won't give them the American aid we shipped this time, just use it for your own use."
He said to Commander Xiao again, "Old Xiao, your aviation does not have the ability to land for the time being, I will let the airport be built into a deck, and Yu Dawei will leave a team to take them to Yangon Port if they have nothing to do, first, to train take-off and landing, and second, to accumulate some actual combat experience, what do you think?" ”
Master Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, this kind of opportunity is rare, it's better to let them practice more."
The barracks and airfields by the port were quickly set up, and the large road rollers pressed the ground and directly supplemented the mesh steel plates, and everything was done at the speed of the field.
Everyone lived in tents first, and among the tens of thousands of Chinese brought in, there were all kinds of talents, and they could still build a house and a barracks for themselves. Anyway, Chittagong has sufficient materials, cement and steel bars, and the British wish that Kane would use it more, so that they can pay off their debts at that time.
A week later, the construction of the airport was completed, and Kane said to Lo Pezi, "This is left to you, I will let a battalion of Thundering cooperate with you, you must hold the fruits of victory, take the time to send a company to Kwitt, familiarize yourself with the terrain first, but don't say anything about the oil field beforehand!" ”
The little money fan nodded again and again, "I know about this, it's our money bag!" ”
After saying goodbye to the little beauty, the fleet set off again, this time bringing with him a dozen American landing ships from the port. I don't know how the British have long heads, anyway, as long as it is an American product, they desperately want it, and if it is useless, they will throw it away. Kane simply bought it all. Anyway, the British owe a lot of money.
The LSM landing ship, 62 meters long and 10 meters wide, can carry 500 tons, has a range of nearly 10,000 kilometers, and has five 40 mm high flat guns on the ship, which is powerful and can also suppress the beachhead.
Since these dozen or so landing ships only have a speed of 12 knots, and the fleet also has to protect a large number of cargo ships and oil tankers, they cannot be fast.
The fleet sailed slowly on the Indian Ocean, and even Li Jian below couldn't stand it, so angry that he raised the submarine to the surface, after all, it was very embarrassing to sail on the bottom of the sea, and it was dark all around, how could there be comfort on the sea.
Old Shaw asked Kane, "Where are we going?" ”
"In 1776, the Chinese established a republic on the southern island of Sumatra, called Lan Fang, and today, their descendants are ready to take back their own territory from the Japanese devils, and I am an arms dealer who sells weapons to them!" ”
Lao Xiao frowned, "Isn't it?" I remember it was called Pontianak. ”
Kane touched his nose, "Maybe they chose the wrong place at the time, there is no oil there, but there are oil fields in Sumatra." ”
Bian Haiming pinned his face to the other side, this person is too capable of pulling, we don't know each other.
To the east, the corn cob is fighting against the Philippines, and there are no devil planes to take care of them for a while.
It wasn't until the fleet was about to reach Batavia {Jakarta} that two seaplanes came to check on it, but they were shot down by four seagulls in a distance.
Maybe there is a devil guard post on the shore, and after a while, the radar found that there are devil planes taking off and approaching, but there are not many ships coming, and there are only four destroyers in all directions!
Two Hundred Command reconnaissance aircraft, two Hayabusa fighters. In the distance, I saw more than a dozen blue seagulls flying in the sky. I was so scared that I didn't dare to attack, these four planes came up purely to find death!
It's a pity that they wanted to run, but the other party refused, and four seagulls roared up to meet them. In a burst of intense artillery fire, several Japanese planes scattered and fled, and in the sky behind them, two squadrons of seagulls had rushed into the blue sky and flew towards the Batavia airfield.
Over the airfield, more than a dozen fighters took off early, which was probably all the strength of Batavia, and the second squadron rushed over to fight with the Japanese planes, and handed over the task of attacking the airfield to Li Zhen's squadron.
The best way to defend the air is still an airplane, even if a hundred anti-aircraft guns shoot at the air, if you can hit one plane, it will burn incense, and that is still for bombers.
For dive bombers and fighter raids, most of their hits are easy to hit after the dive is leveled.
But what are the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns at the Batavia airfield now? Some of them were still a few old guns left by the Dutch, and the Japanese strengthened some of them by up to 40 guns and 20 guns, which was better than nothing for a fighter in the sky.
Li Zhen's 1st Squadron attacked the group of more than a dozen antiaircraft guns on the periphery of the airport with a burst of rockets.
More than 100 huge rockets roared and smashed on the anti-aircraft artillery positions outside the airport, and steel balls with fuel flew in all directions, hitting the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers below to flee in all directions.
When the smoke rose, Li Zhen and the others had already machine-gunned all the devil soldiers they could see.
The empty airfield was unsheltered, and the rest of the devils were all hiding in bomb shelters, and they had to wait for the plane to leave before they dared to come out. However, the machine gun still has to be aimed at the runway, and if a few transport planes come to grab the airport, there is no place to cry.
There was a roar in the sky again, this time not a fighter jet, but a fan plane that had never been seen before.
More than a dozen helicopter gunships protected all sides and fired smoke bombs at the devil's firing ports, instantly covering all the devils' firing range.
More than 20 transport helicopters flew to the airfield and dropped nearly two companies of assault battalion soldiers, and as soon as they jumped off the plane, they rushed in groups of three or five to various key points, and had to crush them in the hole before the devils could react.
Finally, someone found the entrance of several air-raid shelters, and fired two individual cloud burst bombs into the cave from a distance, only to see that the entrance of the cave was suddenly filled with white fog, and then, with a loud sound of "bang", the world was much quieter.
The airport was seized, and all the devils in the city were taken aback, this all hit the old nest, and then it was okay, so quickly organize people and horses, drag guns and cannons, and prepare for a counterattack.
But they just looked ahead, but they didn't know that on the south side of the island, more than a dozen small boats were unloading from a large cargo ship.
Looking at the mountains of guns and cannons, Lin Haifeng, who came to pick up the goods, smiled, this hard life has finally come to an end.
