After Ibn Saud signed the secret agreement, Yang Qiu was relieved and couldn't wait to return to China immediately and start preparing for the establishment of Saudi Arabia. But in order to hide the secret, he stayed in Riyadh for two more days to attend a fake investment signing meeting held by Bei Zuyi and Ben Aziz, and made his first contract public.

The construction of the Riyadh mega reservoir, the large heavy oil power plant, and the establishment of the first oil refinery by the Gulf Oil Company in Najd, which made no one find fault with the three projects, not only relieved the British, but also made them very suspicious, so many intelligence officers were sent to find out the inside story. Fortunately, the Saudi family also knew that their status might be overturned after this secret contract was exposed, so only the most core personnel knew about it, and the people around Yang Qiu had already been screened by several Chapter 626 inspection intelligence departments.

After leaving Riyadh, Yang Qiu continued his visit to Turkey, where he held talks with Kemal, the founding father of Turkey, in Istanbul. Kemal, who knew that military strength was the foundation of the country, had his eye on the 160mm heavy mortars and albatross transport planes that were in the limelight in Afghanistan. In the end, after some bargaining, not only the "Sino-Turkish Friendship Declaration" was signed, but also a contract was reached for 5,000 yuan per mortar and 100,000 yuan per transport aircraft, and chromite was exchanged for 188 mortars and 42 albatross 1924 transport planes.

Najd's friction and Turkey's refreshment made the British Empire's intelligence services tired enough, and the British Royal Navy, which was worried that he would make a surprise visit to Persia and India, even sent a cruiser to follow the Taiwan Island to turn around and enter the Strait of Malacca before stopping.

At the same time as crossing Natuna Island, the annual military exercise "Mistral 1927" kicked off. Moscow was deeply irritated by the images of hundreds of planes flying over Lake Balkhash in droves. Under the unfavorable factors such as the new Trans-Siberian railway has not yet been opened to traffic, and Kazakhstan has a garrison but its number is insufficient, it has to draw troops from the Urals and the Caspian Sea to support. The frequent movement of Soviet troops failed to hide from the European intelligence services, and the news of the "Sino-Soviet war" spread far and wide in Chapter 626.

In the face of the increasingly tense situation, Nanjing, while continuing to fight with Yegorov's troops in Afghanistan, sent Wang Zhengting and Xu Shuzheng to visit Moscow to put on a posture of resolving the Afghan issue through peace talks. Moscow also wanted peace talks, but firmly rejected the prerequisite for the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan.

The fighting in the heart of Central Asia is getting hotter and hotter like the weather. After the passive British army retreated to Kandahar. The southwest of Kabul completely opened the door, if it were not for the continuous mountains that could not ensure logistics, and Long Yun decisively attacked to occupy Kunduz and threatened the supply difficulties of the Soviet army on the northern front, Yegorov would have completed the siege long ago.

At the end of August in the hottest season. A just-delivered Albatross 1927 transport aircraft, protected by 2 Falcon C fighters, slowly landed at the Kabul airport. Compared to 1924, the shape of the Albatross 1927 has been completely changed! If you really want to say that it looks like that aircraft, then it should look more like a three-engine version of the Boeing 247 airliner with an enlarged fuselage, which is still in the minds of Boeing's designers.

The Albatross 1927 used a number of new technologies, including a 750 hp air-cooled engine with a fairing, a new airfoil, and a more aerodynamic spindle streamlined shape with less drag. It also uses a large hatch to facilitate loading and unloading based on actual combat experience. For the first time, the innovative use of instrument flight gyro panels, autopilots, pneumatic de-icing, and larger asymmetrical variable-pitch three-bladed propellers, as well as the retractable landing gear that Airbus successfully replicated from drawings last year. The maximum range has skyrocketed from 1,200 km to 1,800 km, and the load has also increased from 1.5 tons to 2 tons.

In addition to the detailed drawings of a large number of subsystems given by Yang Qiu, the forward-looking nature of Wang Zhu and others is also the main reason. Because after the finalization in 1924, the technical team of Meteor Company has begun to develop this upgraded model, and began flight tests in the middle of last year, and now it is actually a mature model that has reached the equipment capability.

The plane is good, and the price is naturally expensive. The reality of soaring directly from 70,000 yen to 120,000 yuan in the 1924 model made the air force, which was originally ready to take the opportunity to buy hundreds of planes, shrink its neck. In addition, military spending has been shrinking in recent years, and in the end, the plan to reequip fighter jets, which is not urgently needed, can only be postponed. Only enough to make up the order for 132 aircraft.

When Yue Peng and Wu Peifu stepped off the plane, eight Albatross 1927s of the same model were flying off the runway one after another, forming a formation and flying in the direction of Tajikistan under the protection of six falcons. Although the Soviet Air Force was poor, Moscow brought in a number of aircraft, and fighter escort tactics began to be promoted to ensure safety.

Kabul's night war airfield is probably the busiest aviation hub in the world, and more than 50 sorties fly here every day from Andijan, Tajikistan and even Kashgar to ensure adequate supplies, bringing weapons, ammunition, medicine and food, as well as gasoline urgently needed by the air force. According to the statistics of the North-Western Theater of Operations. In the past four months, the Air Force has sent a total of 6,513 transport sorties, bringing 9,842 troops and 8,550 tons of supplies. Nine transport planes were also lost due to mechanical failures and other reasons, 37 excellent pilots and crew members were lost, and several people were missing.

This is the first time in the history of warfare that such an airlift has attracted the attention of observers of various events. It is even more rare for the Wehrmacht to have experienced it firsthand, not to mention the experience of improving and using transport aircraft, just how to dispatch so many flights. The experience of ensuring the smooth operation of radio navigation in the plateau and mountainous areas, coping with bad weather, etc., made the top brass of the Air Force sigh that fighting a war is enough to lead the world for 5 years!

"Report, Army Colonel Long Yun came to report."

Long Yun took Fei Wenhua and other officers to immediately greet and salute. The Wehrmacht is neither the old Beiyang nor the new army, and has learned the brotherhood of the German army from the beginning of its establishment, and has strict hierarchical regulations, and has become a cohesive group through continuous war and European war training.

"The fight is good, I have already distributed the examples of Kunduz interspersed with the whole army, and everyone should learn from them."

Who is Yue Peng? The number one general of the Wehrmacht after Cai Yi's death! It is enough for Fei Wenhua and other officers to raise their eyebrows, not to mention that the whole army has reported and studied the battle examples interspersed with Kunduz, and it is difficult to think of promotion.

After shaking hands with each officer, Yue Peng and Wu Peifu rushed to the field hospital next to the airport. The makeshift tent was crowded with wounded soldiers, but there was little sound of screams of pain, and nurses shuttled back and forth between them, either applying medicine or injections. Some lightly wounded soldiers also stripped off their shirts and sat at the door to ward off the heat, and when they saw a female nurse walking by with a blushing face, one or two of them pretended to be heroes and heroes who were not afraid of bullets, and their eyebrows fluttered and they said loudly how they singled out seven or eight Soviet soldiers.

"Hey, before I came, I heard that Maozi was a little flustered, and I didn't know when I went up, damn it! One head and two legs, some of which are not as stiff as my body. ”

"Just your bear? Look at me! Before rushing up, Lao Tzu killed two, knocked down three with a pistol on the battlefield, and finally stabbed an official to death with a bayonet. ”

"you! Brother is the real guy. See? Kunduz gave the Soviet shells a bite, and there was a lack of three catties of meat! That guy, for three days and three nights, there were Soviet soldiers on all sides, wah, wah, wah, wow, A few people wanted to rob Lao Tzu's machine gun, but I knocked them all down with two shuttles. If it weren't for this piece of shrapnel, we would have killed him three times in and three out. The sonorous and heroic male breath attracted several intern female nurses to peek at them again and again, their little ears were erect, and their cheeks could drip water. made these "soldiers" even more proud, and almost took off their pants and shook the majestic wind of urinating against the wind.

"Alright. What does it mean to blow light? Who do you like, take the initiative to ask people. Yue Peng walked over with a smile, and gloated and encouraged the soldiers to pursue the little nurse.

The soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly got up and wanted to salute, and the little nurse was even more beautiful and looked at the famous general at a loss. Soldiers are not afraid of ruffians, they are afraid that they will not be able to fight, how many veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time are polite and upright? So far, the most capable of fighting in the army are also those who are fighting on the French side and have no heart or lungs to taste the taste of foreign girls.

After letting everyone be exempted, Yue Peng personally walked into the tent to check the situation. Since the beginning of the confrontation with the Soviet army, more than 2,000 casualties have been suffered by 10 battalions of troops stationed in Afghanistan, and if it were not for the strong support of the air force, I am afraid that the situation would have been even worse. However, their achievements were also very amazing, not only withstanding the frontal attack of more than 20,000 Soviet troops on the Hindu Kush Mountains for nearly three months, but also killing and wounding three times the enemy, and capturing more than 2,000 in Kunduz alone, severely defeating the Soviet army and forcing it to withdraw troops from the Urals and other places to support.

But this has also reached the limit, and it is impossible for 10 battalions drawn from all over the country to conquer the world. Moreover, as the weather cools, it is unclear whether the highland climate will be able to maintain air supply lines in winter. "Ziyu, what do you think?" After walking out of the field hospital, Yue Peng stopped and turned his head to look at the tent, his face gradually becoming serious.

Wu Peifu knew the internal cause of this battle, and said with a smile: "The goal has been achieved, there is no need to let the brothers continue to survive. If the Soviet Union wants Afghanistan, let him take it, anyway, it is not our family that is unlucky. As long as we keep the mountains north of Kabul and Kunduz, the emperor will not be able to take us, and it is uncertain who will be in charge of this place in the future! ”

"You're open-minded, and the king of Nader Shah is probably going to die."

"If it's urgent, you don't have to rely on us. The British army retreated in Kandahar obviously because he didn't want to fight, if he had the ability to convince the British, I would be willing to accompany the prince to study and go crazy again, otherwise I wouldn't want to serve. Wu Peifu's words made Yue Peng smile faintly, looked at the wounded soldiers who were still watching behind him, and knew that it was time to withdraw.

"Go get ready, and don't forget to think before you leave." Yue Peng waved his hand...... rq！！！
