The Original Pearl of the Orient, Hong Kong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧5

Since the Qin Dynasty, Hong Kong has become the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and in 214 BC, the Qin Dynasty sent troops to pacify Baiyue, set Nanhai County, and included Hong Kong into its territory, which was under the jurisdiction of Panyu County. From that time until the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong gradually developed as the Central Plains civilization spread southward.

After the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the late 19th century, Hong Kong was ceded and leased to Britain as a British colony.

The Opium War was a page of humiliation in modern China.

And it was not until the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that the People's Republic of China was founded with the solemn oath of the great men of the East on the city tower! The Chinese have stood up from now on!

However, at that time, for various reasons, it did not sweep through Hong Kong at the same time as the army moved south.

Since then, Hong Kong has developed rapidly economically and socially, becoming the world's third largest financial center after New York and London. It has not only become one of the "Four Asian Tigers", but also one of the richest, most economically developed and highest living standards in the world. Hong Kong is an important financial, service and shipping centre in Asia, and is known for its clean government, good law and order, Ziyou economic system and perfect rule of law. ≦≧

In the "Extension of Hong Kong Boundary Site Ordinance" signed by the incompetent Qing Zhèngfu, the area north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and 262 nearby islands were leased for a period of 99 years, ending on 30 June 1997.

So, in order to continue Hong Kong's rule, in 1982, China and Britain began to negotiate on the Hong Kong issue, and the British wanted to maintain the status quo on the Hong Kong issue, that is, to continue to lease Hong Kong, but the Chinese leaders refused.

The two sides began numerous consultations on the issue of Hong Kong. At the same time, the concern of Hong Kong and the world about the future of Hong Kong has caused the people of Hong Kong to feel pessimistic about the future of Hong Kong, and in this situation, Hong Kong's economy has begun to emerge.

This is the famous Hong Kong dollar crisis!

At this time. There is still a month to go before the outbreak of the Hong Kong dollar crisis.

Zhang Manyu walks on the streets of Hong Kong, although she has been here for less than a year, but she feels that this place is very kind, and the people here are people with yellow skin and black eyes like her, although her Chinese is not very standard. ≦≧ is already fluent.

Zhang Manyu is in charge of the sales of the Walkman here. Now, sales have declined a bit because: Hong Kong's economy is very sluggish.

The items that were still very full on the shelves have been snapped up by the citizens in the past few days. Due to the decline in the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, which has led to depreciation, in order to avoid starvation, citizens have rushed to buy all kinds of materials, and the cold winter of Hong Kong's economy seems to have come.

It seems that it will be difficult to complete the indicators of the Walkman project this year, but fortunately, the sales in the first few months are okay. Moreover, the company's sales in other parts of the world are good.

Suddenly, there was a dripping sound from something pinned to her waist, and Zhang Manyu knew that someone was calling her.

In Hong Kong, pagers now. It has begun to be popularized, and with this thing, it is of great help to find people who are not on the phone, which is a progress in changing life through technology.

But. For Zhang Manyu, this thing. It's just a temporary replacement, someone calls, you have to call back, although the streets are full of public telephones, but it's still very difficult to call, it's better to have a mobile phone in your hand at any time!

Now, the company at the headquarters in the United Kingdom is already developing in this direction, and they have sent personnel to thoroughly understand all the wireless telephones that have been put into use in Basra, Iraq, and then, they are ready to imitate and promote them on this basis, and their goal is also very large, and they hope to expand to the whole world like the Walkman project!

Zhang Manyu picked up the pager, took a look, and knew that the company was in an emergency, and urged her to go back. ≦≧

Back at the company, Zhang Manyu saw a few people she didn't know and were waiting for her.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Zhang Manyu?" One person asked.

"Yes."

"We're here for Project Bauhinia." The person who came said.

Project Bauhinia? Zhang Manyu's heart moved: "Welcome to your arrival, I will fully cooperate with your work." ”

"First of all, please find twenty skilled cāo handmakers, we need to do a drill." The person who came said.

"No problem at all."

………

Basra airbase. ≦≧

The most advanced fighter jets introduced by Iraq are gathered here, the F-20 has been organized into several groups, and the first heavy air superiority fighter, the Mirage 4000 squadron, is also stationed here.

Reyer put on a flight suit, an anti-load suit on the outside, shiny leather shoes, and a flight helmet in his hand, and stepped on his landline again.

Ever since the Mirage 4000 arrived in Basra, they've had a new mission every day: cruising over the Persian Gulf!

The Persian Gulf, which is owned by the Arabs, is absolutely not allowed to enter by foreign forces, and at the same time, in order to maintain the safety of the shipping lanes and show the presence of Iraq at any time, the long-range Mirage 4000 is used to fly along the Persian Gulf Zhongyāng route all the way to the periphery of the Strait of Hormuz.

After Reyer stepped into the cockpit, the ground crew followed, helped him fasten his seat belt, watched the cockpit canopy slowly fall, and buckled the cockpit lock.

The ground crew moved the ladder, and Reyes began to methodically do a series of preparations before the flight. ≦≧

The whole machine is energized, self-tested, and at the same time, with the help of the external power supply car, the two engines in the tail are successfully started.

Reyer listened to the roar of the engine behind him, and his heart was also rising and falling, Reyer had nearly sixty hours of flight time on the Phantom 4000.

For this kind of fighter, he already felt that he was completely at one with it.

"The falcon asks to take off." Reyer shouted over the radio.

"You can take off."

Reyer released the brakes and gently increased the throttle with his left hand, while his eyes looked at the ever-faster horizon outside the cockpit and glanced at the instruments inside.

The powerful thrust of the twin engines, although there is no afterburner, the speed increases quickly, and thanks to the use of a full-motion front canard, positive lift can be obtained, which can significantly reduce the disadvantage of long gliding distances caused by delta wings.

After seeing the numbers displayed on the airspeed counter, Reyer gently pulled back the Cāo pole with his right hand, and the huge Mirage 4000 rose into the air with agility, revealing the weapons mounted under his belly: typical air superiority equipment, two Magic short-range air-to-air missiles and four Super Matra medium-range air-to-air missiles, but unfortunately France does not have long-range air-to-air missiles such as the Immortal Bird, otherwise, the Mirage 4000 would be the same as the F-14, becoming an invincible existence.

After the Mirage 4000 took off, Reyer retracted the landing gear, made a skillful turn, and began to fly in the direction of the Persian Gulf.

Since the number of Mirage 4000s equipped by the Iraqi Air Force is still relatively small, and it is mainly a routine patrol, showing that the Iraqi Air Force can have enough strength to defend all the airspace of the Persian Gulf, so each cruise is a single aircraft.

Reyer adjusted his altitude and course and began cruising along the median line of the Persian Gulf.

The pilot is known as the pride of the blue sky, looking down on the sea from the sky, everything is so unforgettable, Reyer's eyes sweep the sky and the sea, there is a throbbing.

At this time, in Bandar Abbas, on the north side of the Strait of Hormuz, an Iranian civil aviation Airbus A300 passenger ship was carrying more than 200 passengers and flew into the blue sky.

Although it is now at war, however, the International Aviation Convention stipulates that no country and no country and zhèngfu may threaten air transport for peaceful purposes by force under any circumstances. Therefore, Iran's civil aviation is still in normal flights, just to make up the number of people on the plane, the scale of flights has been reduced by half.

Although the international air convention has these provisions, however, the arms embargo of Western countries also includes the parts and components of the civil airliner that may be used in the military, and the A300 passenger plane's habitual navigation system has failed, because it is impossible to get spare parts, so the crew uses a more ancient navigation method and uses the aircraft's compass to determine the bearing.

It's just that they didn't know that when the plane took off, the compass also malfunctioned, causing the civil airliner that was originally flying to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to deviate ten degrees to the west, fly into the interior of the Persian Gulf, and fly in the direction of Dammam Port in Saudi Arabia.

At this time, everyone on the passenger plane, including the pilot and captain, did not know that they had flown in the wrong direction, and their wrong flight was very fatal to them, because the port of Daman was already an important base for the defense forces of the peninsula. And the route they flew did not pass, that is to say, on the enemy's radar, the signal of their civil airliner will be very much like a slow bomber!

After entering the Persian Gulf, Reyes turned on the RDM multifunctional Doppler radar, and the inverted Cassegrain antenna in front of it began to send out a powerful radar signal to scan the surrounding airspace.

As per usual experience, the airspace here is very clean and there is hardly anything to see.

As the light on the radar screen turned around along the radius, a point of light appeared on it.

What is that? Reyes was a little curious, and immediately turned the radar to the LRS mode, that is, long-range search.

According to the radar signal just now, the other party is still about 100 kilometers away from him, so Reyer switched the RWS mode just now to this RWS mode optimized for long-range search, that is, the LRS mode, which is often used to search for long-range large targets, such as the opponent's pre-jing aircraft and bombers.

The radar screen scanned even slower than before, but the information obtained was clearer, and Reyer knew that he was in trouble this time. To be continued
