Due to the large volume and low price of sea transportation, 'Holy Light' gradually transferred its freight to various freighters. For example, it is more convenient for large goods such as railway locomotives to rely on sea transportation.

But Director Ma still hopes that Zhou Qingfeng can use more air transportation, because air transportation is fast.

"Ten Il-76s, 70 percent uptime, two full shifts a day, can transport almost 700 tons.

From Moscow, you don't need to fly to the imperial capital, just fly directly to Ili or Urumqi. We will figure out our own way for follow-up transportation, and the key is to be fast. ”

Including Director Ma, many people in China have a sense of 'heart-pounding' excitement about the purchase of 'Holy Light' in Da Mao's house, and they are both excited and worried.

The excitement is to get something good that was unimaginable in the past, and the fear is that this good thing will be interrupted. Out of this psychology, the transportation process is naturally how fast and how to come, for fear of long nights and dreams.

Ants move, piecemeal, but unobtrusive, and trickle. A freighter of tens of thousands of tons is like gambling, too exciting.

Zhou Qingfeng's ability to fish in Moscow for a few months stunned the country. No one would have thought that the business of 'Holy Light' could be so hot, let alone that Da Mao would be kept fleecing like this.

"Mr. Zhou, many departments in China are working together to organize the supply of goods to meet the needs of 'Holy Light'.

Some leaders suggested that we could take advantage of this opportunity to get more materials and equipment that will be scarce in China for a long time in the future. For example, ten or even twenty more Il-76s.

It's okay to spend a little more, and it's even better to sell more. The key is to get what you want at home. The IL-76 is a good example of this, as it can significantly increase the number of freight transported per day. ”

What 'timing'? Isn't it the current civil strife in Maozi?

It's not that I haven't thought about replacing the 'Holy Light' in China, and I personally went on the horse to trade with Da Mao. But the bureaucracy will only make a mess of chickens and eggs, and there is strong resistance from the bureaucracy, including Director Ma.

Understanding this meaning, Zhou Qingfeng only nodded slightly, "You want a big plane, right?" On the contrary, there are a hundred ready-made Il-76s, which are cheaper than the big ones. ”

A hundred?

Director Ma pounced in front of Zhou Qingfeng and grabbed his arm, "Where are there a hundred ready-made Il-76s?" ”

"Ermao's family."

Director Ma's heart was cold.

The Ermao family is now in chaos, and several factions are fighting among themselves. Intervention in this case is very risky.

It's just a hundred Il-76s, it's too tempting.

Not to mention a hundred, fifty can also make people brave the head.

"Mr. Zhou, do you have a way?"

"Yes, I've done some intelligence gathering. In Zaporizhzhia on the Dnieper, Ermao has a special parking lot for aircraft. They're parking some planes there that don't need them.

In addition, the Melitopol airbase on the coast of the Assyrian Sea has become a dump of debris. A lot of weapons and equipment were piling up in that place.

There are also scattered airports where the Il-76 is parked. For example, Boryspil on the eastern outskirts of Kyiv, where an air transport regiment is stationed.

But according to our investigation, that transport group is being dismantled recently. The airfield is unguarded. I don't know who to turn to even if I want to. ”

In fact, in addition to the Il-76, there are many, many pieces of equipment in the Ermao family that are being idle. If Zhou Qingfeng doesn't make a move, these expensive treasures will spend twenty or thirty years in the sun and rain, and finally become scrap metal.

Director Ma heard Zhou Qingfeng say in such detail, and asked in surprise: "You have already made up your mind?" ”

"yes."

"But it's too risky. Ermao's side is more messy than Damao. Several forces are fighting among themselves, and there are also many foreign forces. What are you going to do? ”

Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head, "I have a good relationship with General Chechevatov. ”

Yes, Your Excellency the General can't bite Zhou Qingfeng to death.

Director Ma shook his head when he heard this, "No, no, no, this guy is a warlord leader." As a matter of policy, we will not engage with such forces. Unless he can go any further.

And these places you are talking about are all in the Zhytomyr region of Ermao. This isn't the warlord's domain. What's the use of you having a relationship with him? ”

Director Ma looked puzzled.

Zhou Qingfeng also smiled awkwardly, "Well, this." Your Excellency is willing to sign a contract acknowledging the sale of these large aircraft to us. And the price is very cheap. ”

"But these planes are not in his sphere of influence. Instead, it is in his opponent's territory. He has no right to dispose of it. ”

"So he's willing to admit it."

"Oh......, white wolf with empty gloves." Director Ma let out a word of surprise. His mind suddenly opened up. "It's really not easy.

Even if you get these big planes back home. In the future, the Ermao government said that this was an illegal transaction and asked us to ask for it, what should we do? It's going to get us in trouble. Besides, how are you going to get those big planes away? ”

"Send pilots and ground crews directly. At most, I can find a way to bring my own fuel and spare parts. At present, most of the airspace of the Ermao family is controlled by General Chechevatov, and as long as we have his permission, we can leave. ”

"You mean just go and grab it. It's ......, no, no, it's not good. It will lead to serious consequences. ”

Director Ma's brain rose and fell, and he felt that this method was too bold, "This method is too crude." I'm going to report it, I've got to think about it. ”

Seeing that Director Ma was about to leave his office, Zhou Qingfeng shouted at his back: "According to my investigation, there are twenty-nine Il-76s at Zaporozhye Airport. There are thirty-five of them at the Melitopol airbase.

I'm recruiting a group of pilots and ground crew, and they'll take the plane away. I am also in the process of consulting with Senior General Chechevatov and contacting senior officials of the military and aviation industry of Da Mao.

Nominally, the general stepped forward and handed over these large planes to Da Mao as an alliance legacy. Da Mao sold these big planes to us again. In fact, these large planes flew directly back to China. ”

Hearing that there were more than 60 Il-76s in total at the two airports, Director Ma was already moved. Hearing that the ownership of these large planes would change owners, he hurriedly turned his head and ran back to hold Zhou Qingfeng's hand.

"Mr. Zhou, this idea is very imaginative. Have you taken a diplomatic course? ”

"If you think I'm thick-skinned, I'll just say it."

"No, no, no, I think you don't know how to teach."

Director Ma asked for some more details, and turned around and left excitedly. After a while, Marcos came in from outside and whispered, "Boss, Adjutant Lviv is here again."

In addition, you also have the pilots and ground crews you want me to find, all veterans of the war in Afghanistan, and they work as long as they are paid. Spare parts for aircraft can also be found in Moscow, the trouble is that we need quite a bit of aviation kerosene. ”

Zhou Qingfeng nodded, indicating that he knew. A few more hours later, the phone on his desk rang, and Alsie, who had been away from him for a few days, heard in the microphone.

"Master, I found the former Soviet 15th Air Transport Regiment in Boryspil, on the eastern outskirts of Kiev, and also saw three Il-76s that they parked at the airfield.

There is fuel in the airport oil depot, but it is being resold like crazy. Also, this place is very chaotic, and all kinds of forces are fighting each other. Hooligans, gangsters, military, officials, and even foreigners. ”

"Understood. We will solve these problems one by one. ”
