Chapter 822: Preparing for Takeoff
At the airport, after Albert caught up with the group, Meyer and the others looked at him with a wicked smile, and Meyer asked, "When did you hook up with such a cute girl?"
Albert hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, she is the daughter of the former lord of my family, I didn't expect her to be alive." ”
Meyer and the others said "oh" and stopped talking about it, they were a small group headed by Meyer, who was familiar with Albert and knew how his family had changed from a noble domain to a royal domain.
If that girl was Albert's local hook-up, or if it was his old friend, Meyer and they would definitely toss Albert.
These arrogant air knights have been depressed lately, and the better flying machines than the Hurricane Wyvern are right in front of their eyes, but they can only do the work of collecting weather information every day, and then drool at these planes.
Ten men in full skydiving gear walked past Meyer, young men and women with excitement and a little nervousness in their eyes.
Their target was a biplane at the end of the runway, and when the Macroross Group transport plane would take the young men to an altitude of three thousand meters, their dragon instructor would kick them down.
Although Charles used all his connections to get so many transport planes, the pilots were basically complete, and there was no shortage of maintenance and ground crew, there were not enough people to handle the cargo.
Charles gave Mantua a lot of rights when he put him in charge of the airport, including temporary conscripts.
At that time, many of Mantua's former fox friends and some girls who had slept with him were extremely interested in these big guys who could fly in the sky, and pestered him from time to time to let him take him to fly around the sky.
So Mantua's mind turned, and let these guys be porters.
In order to make these young masters and young ladies come to work willingly, Mantua muttered to Smith, the deputy head of the "Dragon Regiment that makes the sky more lively", for five minutes, and then decided to add a skydiving course to these porters.
Among those young masters and young ladies who came all the way to see the plane, there were many thrill-seekers, jumping from a place higher than the clouds in the sky, this cow could make them the most beautiful existence in Sharonli.
Not to mention that a certain dragon regiment will also award a good-looking medal to someone who completes a beginner skydiving course, which makes the vanity of such a person burst instantly.
As soon as this condition was released, there would soon be no shortage of porters at the airport, and many people said that they would have to do it without paying.
According to Charles's promise to Mantua, if this air transport mission is completed, Mantua will become the head of the airline in the future.
Mantua is already preparing for the position, and his plan is that these thrill-seeking porters will be an important source of passengers for future airlines when they start-up.
Meyer and the others are very depressed, if they are not in charge of the weather forecasting, they will definitely take this opportunity to get on the plane, and then find a chance to learn how to drive this guy.
Soon after, they came to the headquarters.
A row of large wooden houses was built next to the airport, which served as the headquarters of the operation.
In the middle of the headquarters was a sand table three meters long and wide, on which was the terrain between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Knowledge City.
On the wall are thin sheets of iron that are connected together, painted with different colors of paint, and a small magnet is glued to the back of a numbered wooden plaque.
Each wooden plate represents a transport aircraft, and the thin iron sheets of different colors represent the state of maintenance, standby, transportation, return, and damage.
What warmed Meyer's eyes the most was the large room next door to the headquarters.
The room was lined with two columns against the wall that they had never seen before, and these magic teleporters, known as the "Diana Type III", could not only transmit text in real time, but also make voice calls.
Several elven communicators are now using these telegraphs to communicate with the transport planes flying in the sky.
The commander-in-chief of the airlift operation, named "Bridge of Friendship - 1928" by Charles, was Carswall Dowding from the Elven King's Court, and the deputy commander and chief of staff was Novikov who appeared out of nowhere, and they were studying their next move on the sand table.
Mantua stood quietly aside, listening carefully to the conversation between the two bigwigs, learning how the bigwigs commanded the plane.
Meyer and Albert came to Dowding's side, and after saluting, they reported: "Report to the commander, the Meteorological Bureau has judged that the wind at sea will be temporarily reduced from noon to evening today. ”
Dowding looked at the sand table and asked, "Will it affect the flight safety of the plane?"
Meyer replied, "Based on my experience with the Hurricane Wyvern and the performance analysis of the aircraft that I know, the aircraft can fly safely in this situation, but there may be a deviation in the course." ”
Dowding and Novikov on the side muttered for a moment, and then said to Meyer: "From now on, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Meteorological Bureau. ”
"Now I appoint you as the deputy commander and deputy chief of staff of this operation, and you and several of them are responsible for formulating flight routes and other related matters. ”
He finally said: "Your Highness is really, such a person is in charge of the weather forecast, but the weather is also very important, you can continue to manage it with more work." ”
Meyer's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he realized that he had reached a fork in the road in his life, and if he took the right step, he would climb the ladder to the top.
Seeing the young man's reaction, the corners of his mouth only hooked slightly, and he began to arrange tasks for Meyer: "The command has decided to take advantage of the weather to improve at noon to let two transport planes of different types land on the island, send a batch of personnel and supplies and fly back, you immediately make a flight plan now." ”
The first flight was a time constraint and a heavy task, which made Meyer feel a lot of pressure.
After Meyer and the others left, Mantua was sent to help by Dowding to help Meyer.
When everyone left, Novikov asked Ding in a low voice: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a hurry to let the transport plane pass, it has not been a few days since the weather improved?"
Dowding's complexion suddenly sank, and he said, "Yesterday someone instigated a mob to attack His Highness's manor, and this was directed at him. ”
Novikov's eyes narrowed, and he wondered if he should transfer the 901st Independent Battalion of the Air Force Airborne Assault to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find a place.
Douding was really afraid that he would transfer troops from the Rurik Kingdom, so that the war between humans and demons would really start, which was not in the interests of all parties, so he said: "Don't worry, the matter has been solved by him, and his action this time is to put pressure on the island authorities and force them not to make any small moves." ”
