Chapter 164, North African Markets
The noise of the turbofan made the onlookers involuntarily cover their ears, although the noise of the turbofan is loud, but compared to the turbojet, it is better. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After the plane took off, it went around in the air and returned, and it was just a test.
In the eyes of those foreigners, the plane taxied for thousands of meters before slowly stopping, leaving a faint black mark on the gray cement runway.
The gliding distance of thousands of meters, these foreigners were dumbfounded, in their impression, a large plane taxied five or six hundred meters and landed long enough, this plane actually taxied so far.
What interested these foreigners the most was the food of the Spiritual Empire's army, compared to which they ate potatoes with skins, carrots that could not be peeled, curry from India as the staple food, and fish and chips as a non-staple food. Anyway, don't think about the taste, it's already very good to be able to fill your stomach.
Every time it was time to eat, a large number of foreigners would gather at the door of the transfer station of the Xiling Empire, asking about the smell of food in the air and drooling.
These British people are not reconciled, why do those yellow people eat better than them, as white people, they eat not even pig food.
Their protest had no effect, and the people above didn't listen at all, so when it was time to eat, outside the Xiling Empire Transfer Station, a large group of foreigners gathered, smelling the fragrance coming from inside.
People who don't know see so many people gathered outside, and they think they are going to make trouble!
However, the incident did not last long, and some people saw business opportunities here and opened some restaurants outside the foreign military camps.
That's right, it's just to open a restaurant, although the things made are average, but I don't know how much better than the food of their army, those people from foreign armies flock to it, and there is a constant flow of people all day and night, and gradually no one is watching outside.
The high-level officials of the foreign army did not pay attention to the situation of opening the hotel to the gate of the barracks, they also knew that their own things were unpalatable, and they all opened small stoves, and those restaurants occasionally paid a little respect, so they didn't care.
These restaurants charge any money, and there are price lists nailed to the walls, as well as money swaps.
A large number of foreign troops came here to squander their money every month, and the average soldier's salary was just enough to eat for a month, and the price of meals here was not expensive.
Originally, a large number of vegetables were transported here across the Indian Ocean, and the freight was expensive, and if it was according to the general situation, these prices would have to be doubled several times, and the biggest reason why it was set so low was that the army of the Xiling Empire ate the bulk of the money.
Behind these restaurants is the Xiling army in charge, and many of the cooks are cooks.
On the surface, the Xiling army is presiding, but in fact, the biggest boss is still Lu Qiang, this idea was proposed by Lu Qiang, otherwise how would the army dare to do this.
In addition to restaurants, there are also convenience stores, mainly selling snacks and dry food, as well as cigarettes and alcohol, and even some individual weapons and equipment.
Weapons from all countries are sold, Japan's Sanhachi Gai, Germany's Mauser 98K, Britain's Lee Enfield, America's M1 Garand, and their own 56 and a half. In addition to rifles, light machine guns, grenades, mines, and even bulletproof vests are sold.
Looking at the weapons and equipment sold in the store, many foreign soldiers drooled when they saw it, and then touched their pockets, and they were shy.
There are not many weapons sold, each of the foreign troops has their own weapons, and they, as logistics personnel, do not have to go to the battlefield at all, so they are hardly used.
What makes their eyes hot is the bulletproof vest, which has already been said in the description that it can protect against some stray bullets, but not direct fire, but this is enough for their eyes to be hot. On the battlefield, half of the people were killed by stray bullets flying indiscriminately, and they were not sure if they would be killed by stray bullets.
It's crooked, let's get down to business.
At dinner time, outside the barracks, there were still some people loitering, these people belonged to the people who spent hard as soon as they got their salaries, and after half a month, they ate pig food in the barracks, and they couldn't keep the money at all.
In the past, there were also people who were ready to eat overlord meals in the restaurant because they had no money, and the result was that they were detained by the hotel to wash the dishes for a week, and they didn't look at the background of the hotel.
The foreigner who washed the dishes for a week swore that he would not wash the dishes after he was killed, and now he vomited when he saw the bowl, and in the end, he couldn't eat the overlord meal.
How big the daily flow of people in these restaurants is, and I don't know how high the bowls are piled up.
At the airport, everyone was working overtime to assemble the B-45 overnight, because the front was moving forward, the logistics were pulled further, and the foreign armies were ready to push the logistics forward.
However, the logistics of the Xiling army are not ready to advance, because after the B-45 transport plane is assembled, small items such as ammunition supplies can be airdropped, but tanks and cannons will be slowly transported to the front line.
Fortunately, the expeditionary forces on the front line do not need tanks or artillery for the time being, they carry enough of their own, and if the war goes well, it will only take a month at most to end the war in North Africa.
Because of this victory, the US military decided to increase military aid to North Africa, and the biggest reason was that the United States saw the benefits that the Xiling Empire had earned in this battle.
Seeing that they were frantically selling all kinds of things to foreign troops, and selling everything they could, they sent out the battleship.
But fortunately, the foreign soldiers didn't buy much, maybe it was the backward thinking of the Chinese who was at fault, and they didn't dare to buy too much.
But the United States is different, directly signing contracts with the United Kingdom, allowing the United Kingdom to purchase in large quantities and earn more.
On the battlefield in North Africa, it seems that it has become an equipment sale between the United States and the Hiling Empire, the United States sells more, they mainly sell weapons and equipment, and many of the Lee Enfields used by the British army are produced from the United States, as well as ammunition and the like, and even M4 tanks.
On the side of the Xiling Empire, the food sold is mainly food, such as self-heating rice, canned food, snacks and so on, which is deeply loved by those soldiers.
Although the United States and the Xiling Empire seem to sell different things, both sides want to break into each other's markets.
The U.S. side is also developing a new dry ration for individual soldiers, but the taste is not very good, so it has been testing.
The Xiling Empire is trying its best to increase the sales of weapons, but those foreign armies seem to distrust the weapons sold by these yellow-skinned people, because their subjective image of China is backward, and the people of backward countries naturally do not make much.
The biggest reason why weapons can't be sold is word-of-mouth. (To be continued.) )
