Chapter 299: Manila (Monthly Pass Update)
This time, the Philippine government held a reception ceremony that surpassed any previous event organized by the Philippine government. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Not only was it open to Philippine government officials, but leaders of neighboring countries were invited to watch the ceremony, but because the deterrent effect of the New Delhi incident was still there, the leaders of various countries politely refused the request of the Philippine government, and only the new prime minister of Vietnam came to watch.
At the same time, in order to improve its credibility, the Philippine government also invited many Filipino people to watch it on the spot, this time it was not the previous project, calling the family members of some officials to act as spectators, but really selected nearly 10,000 ordinary people from various islands to go to the airport to watch the reception ceremony, and the whole process of television broadcasting, not only for the whole country, but also on the network for broadcasting, as long as there is no firewall of the country can be watched for the first time.
In the past, the Philippine people thought that the strength of their army could at least wrestle with China, after all, they only saw their own country's equipment, and thought that the Chinese army was similar, just like a poor family guessing the emperor's dinner, at most there was meat at all, and nothing could not be beaten. (Some people in the Philippines do think they are better equipped than China)
But now they have to begin to doubt the combat effectiveness of their government troops.
After so many years of fighting with the rebels in Mindanao, the Philippine government army has not gained a profit, but has been defeated one after another, and the Philippine government's own explanation for this is because the Philippine army has not taken the rebels in Mindanao seriously.
Casualties at the time of each crackdown are generally worth some income, and if one were to examine the rebels who had been killed by the Philippine government in Mindanao over the years, the number would be close to the entire population of Mindanao.
However, the previous fight with the Free Army of Palawan, the Philippine government had no way to hide it, not only the Philippine government conducted live TV, but also Palawan live.
The Filipinos watched their soldiers through the television, not only did they not achieve victory, but also lost the entire island of Palawan, if it was just a victory, it would not cause so much anger, but in the whole process of the war, the Philippine government army was completely like children, being pressed and beaten.
Together with the previously independent island of Mindanao, the Philippines as a whole has lost nearly a third of its territory in the past few months.
Now that Philippine society has begun to be in turmoil, many careerists have begun to plot something and prepare to take action, and the current ruling party, if it were not for the Philippine Congress to activate the national emergency mechanism, they would have been out of power in the anger of the Filipinos a long time ago.
So this time, in order to improve its government image and deter some domestic careerists, the Philippine government decided to show off its muscles.
When Lin Qing's flight arrived in Manila, the sun had just risen, and after arriving in Manila, he almost didn't have to ask, and bought a newspaper casually, which was still introducing the welcome ceremony and test flight ceremony held by the government.
The newspapers were full of praise, and some of them even shouted that with F16, the Philippines could officially wrestle with China in the air.
However, among these useless information, Lin Qing still found a piece of information that was very useful to him, that is, about the storage location of these fighters.
F16 fighter jets were temporarily placed at Barça Air Base, forty kilometers north of Manila.
At the beginning, several Philippine air bases fought over the storage of these F16 fighters, and finally the Philippine government considered various factors such as defending the capital, deterring the South China Sea, and finally parked the planes at the Barcelona air base.
Lin Qing knew this place in his last life, or because of football, because this air base and Barcelona Football Club have the same name, so after this air base was opened to the US military in later generations, Lin Qing easily remembered this name, and the other three Lin Qing did not remember it at all (the Philippines opened a total of four air bases to the United States)
After Lin Qing remembered this place, he casually clipped the newspaper under his armpit, bought a tourist map of the Philippines, and slowly walked out of the airport, like most tourists, of course, there are not many tourists in the Philippines now, and governments have issued a red alert for Philippine tourism.
After leaving the airport, Lin Qing immediately found a hotel to have a good rest, Lin Qing had been sleeping on the ship a few days ago, after going ashore in Egypt, the interesting museum stole rubies, and he was injured again, although he rested in London for a few days, but flying from London to Manila, still made him feel very tired.
Although the first class cabin of the plane can lie down and rest, but after all, it is in the air, Lin Qing is not too steady, he is not used to sleeping in the air, there is not much sense of security, the last time he went to London from Port Said was because he was too tired, so he fell asleep.
Lying on the bed in the hotel Lin Qing felt that he could finally sleep well, the whole person fell back on the bed, this time of rushing made Lin Qing feel a little unbearable, this is not because of the injury, three days at sea, Lin Qing already felt that he was a little tired, every time he woke up on the boat, he felt back pain.
After re-injury and excessive blood loss, this feeling is more obvious, now walking for a long time, I will also feel a little tired, this is the sequelae of excessive blood loss, but this symptom is also easy to treat, just drink a little blood tonic thing, and make up the blood.
After lying on the bed for a while, Lin Qing felt that the tiredness just now had been driven away, he got up and came to the door of the guest room, hung the Do Not Disturb sign on the doorknob, and then took out two broadsword mines from the space and placed them on the edge of the door of the living room.
This is already a habit that Lin Qing has developed, as long as he doesn't keep up with his bodyguard group, no matter where he rests, Lin Qing likes to put two broadswords in front of the door, as long as someone is uninvited, then the result will be detonated.
After placing the mines, Lin Qingyou carefully inspected the house, and after making sure that there was no monitoring equipment, he closed the curtains, jumped directly on the bed, and went to sleep to find Zhou Gong's daughter without taking a bath.
