"My lord, give us some time to think about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Iron Tong looked slightly moved, "We need to discuss it." ”

"That's no problem at all," Locke nodded, "and if you figure it out, then come to the town hall and find me." I'll talk to your Baron Zacks about that. ”

"Then, we won't send you, my lord." Iron Tong sent Locke to the door with a little excitement.

The rest doesn't need to worry about Locke. These little things will figure it out.

Now, I need to go to Zax and poach these people. And then fool the trade prince on the bright side.

Locke led the guards towards the largest house in the Goblin District, a gift from Locke to Zax as a token of gratitude for the unbreakable friendship between the two parties.

As for how unbreakable this friendship is, it depends on the power of money.

"Those guys are trying to make trouble again?" Zax knew what Locke meant, and he didn't say whether it would work out or not, but asked rhetorically. "These stupid guys aren't honest at all. I want to make a big news out every year. Hey, isn't it enough to be taught a lesson by the Prince of Trade? ”

"1000 gold!" Locke gestured to Zax, "I'll buy all the technical goblins you brought!" ”

"Aircraft engineers, workers, test pilots, etc., etc., all the goblin craftsmen related to the manufacture of aircraft, I will take them all!"

"Who said they were going to sell these people to you?" Zax looked at Locke dumbfounded, "Did I hear me right?!" ”

"Yes, you heard it right, I'm going to buy those goblins you brought. Anyway, they don't have anything to do here, so it's better to sell it to me and let them work for me. Locke looked at him and said with a smile, "Those 1,000 gold coins are my personal property to you!" ”

"1,000 gold coins sold to you?" Zax laughed, "The Prince of Trade will have skinned me!" They are all the private property of our group, and I can't be the master. ”

"Besides, they're worth more than 1,000 gold coins." Zax said pointedly.

“1500！”

"They are not for sale in our group!"

“2000！”

"They are worth the strength of several legions!"

“2500！”

"We can talk about it again!"

“3000！”

"We can make an excuse and say that they are all drowning in the Endless Sea! Or, they've been captured by the undead of Lordaeron! Or the Scourge Legion! Anyway, it's all about mess! Zax threw aside his reserve, and he jumped out of his chair in ecstasy.

"Aren't you afraid that your trade prince will come and check this matter?" Locke asked with a smile.

"It's just some engineering and technical personnel," Zax also responded to Locke with a smile, "We in the Hot Sand Port Group lack everything." However, there is no shortage of these technicians, so just make an excuse. ”

"The Prince of Trade will not come to trouble me for such trivial matters, at most he will send a few investigators down." Zax's eyebrows fluttered and he said, "When the time comes, a few gold coins will be able to send them away!" Those poor ghosts, but they will do anything for money! ”

"Oh well! You'd better get them to hurry. ”

This was a bit of a surprise to Locke. Originally, I thought that it would take at least 10,000 gold coins to buy these people, but I didn't expect that 3,000 would solve the problem.

What's wrong with this?

Looking at Zacks smiling on the other side, Locke didn't feel like it.

"That's fine, they'll agree." Zax responded, "Then this money..."

"When they come to my zone, that's when it's time to pay."

Zax nodded, "Then I won't entertain you, friend." I'm going to persuade the engineers for my gold. Good bye. ”

Zax swooped into the area where the engineers lived.

So, in the evening.

More than 4,000 goblins of specialized skills came to Locke's control area. They lived near Locke's pre-arranged airfield, and with them a complete set of production lines, from minerals to airplanes, and all the supporting equipment was secretly transferred to the warehouse in Eva.

This is something that Locke never expected, and in one day, the matter of building an air force may be put on the agenda.

Immediately afterward, Locke fell into a tense busyness.

The Crusader's Air Force was officially formed.

The Crusaders began to recruit air pilots on a large scale in Iva. As long as you are no taller than 5 feet tall and have a small build, you can sign up.

For a time, a large number of women poured into the ranks of the Air Force. Even Bridget wanted to fly a plane to have a good time, and was preached by Locke without hesitation.

As for why people with a height of 5 feet were chosen to be pilots, and why a large number of women were included in the military. This is partly due to the fact that the goblins designed helicopters and fighter jets have small cabins and limited space. People who are too tall to comfortably operate an airplane in the cockpit of an airplane. People with a bloated body are also based on this reason.

There are really few men in Iva town who are less than 1.5 meters tall, and even if they do, most of them are relatively obese, which does not meet the recruitment requirements of the Air Force.

Women are different, many women are only 1.5-1.6 meters tall, their height is very suitable, and they are thin. It's the pilot's choice.

After a few days of recuperation, the pilots who have passed the primary selection. Begin to undergo various stress tests developed by the goblins to test whether they can become a qualified pilot. For example: fear of heights test, myopia, flip stress test, night blindness test and many other tests.

The original team of more than 20,000 primary pilots has been reduced to only more than 300, which is still a great reduction in requirements.

At the same time, Locke instructed Shiloh to recruit 5,000 men to form the Technician Corps. Most of them were young men between the ages of 16 and 20, and since the men joined the army and became infantrymen. So, most of the soldiers of this batch of technical legions are women.

Their role is to learn the skills of the goblins and then specialize in ground service for the Air Force.

Originally, Locke wanted to build an airfield on the outskirts of the town. But this was vetoed by Gates, who considered such an airfield unsafe. If the airfield is attacked, the ammunition inside the airfield will become a dangerous bomb. Because these bombs will be magic bombs invented and created by Gates himself, which, according to him, is hugely powerful!

Locke followed Gates' advice and built an airfield in the mountains behind the town of Iva.

To do this, Gates spent two days wandering around the mountains behind Iva, choosing an inaccessible valley as an airfield for the Crusaders.

Subsequently, Gates teamed up with the human female mage Olivia, and the two worked together to open a group portal, and with the help of other mage apprentices, the unstable portal was temporarily solidified.

The civilians of the infrastructure brigade under the Iva Integrated Management Office of the Shiloh Organization crossed the portal to this canyon.

Under the guidance of the Goblin Aircraft Crew, they began to renovate the valley. All the trees were cut down and used as materials for the construction of houses. All the unevenness on the ground is treated evenly. The mage apprentices who came with them used magic to completely solidify the ground.

This valley is in the middle of the mountains, halfway up the mountainside, and is more than a dozen kilometers long. Steep mountains are on the left and right, and there are no mountains on the east and west sides. To the east is a cliff up to 600 meters, while to the west is the wide Endless Sea, and the airfield is still a few hundred meters high from the Endless Sea.

Locke, after coming here, also praised the position. This position is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy must climb many mountains if he wants to enter and take out the airfield. Unless it's also the Air Force that comes to raid.

At the suggestion of the goblins, the narrow valley was designed with two runways. Each runway is 1.5 kilometers long and has 30 parking stands along both sides of each runway.

After the runway was leveled, the goblins began to install the runway lights. To do this, they installed three high-powered generators at the airport to provide lighting services.

Locke watched as the large group of goblins were busy running on the runway, burying the wires shallowly in the ground and fixing the runway lights to the ground. Behind them, the girls of the Techno Legion followed behind the goblins, learning their knowledge as they should.

After three busy days, the runway lights were in place, and Locke couldn't wait for the goblins to turn on the runway lights at the airport at night.

Locke, with Gates, and the head of the ground crew, the goblin Kerda, stood on a hill and looked at the airport below.

"Ready!" Krda, the goblin, with a rudimentary engineering artifact like a headset on his head, shouted at the protruding wires.

"Turn on the airport lights!!"

Then, from Locke's point of view, the originally dark ground was lit up one after another, white, red, and green.

Horizontal and vertical, they form two 3,000-meter-long landscapes in the night.

"My lord, let me explain it to you." Korda, the goblin in charge of the ground crew, pointed to the lights on the airport and said, "The runway side lights are white, mainly to show the outline of the runway. The runway centerline light, flush with the road surface and not afraid of wheel crushing, emits a strong light of more than 200 watts, guiding the pilot to stop at night. On the runway, the front lights are red, and the middle section lights are white. There are also runway end lights at both ends of the runway, which are green outward and red inward. ”

"These lights, they all have different meanings. As a pilot, you need to know all this knowledge. Your lord, your pilot, is being trained by Klich and the other test pilots, and after a while, he will be able to take off. ”
