Chapter 359 Departure, target Netherlands

As Tang Ruowang and Maier chatted, the truck gradually drove out of the city, then passed through a heavily guarded gate and entered the restricted area of ​​the capital, the Royal Army Army Barracks.

As soon as you enter the camp, you are greeted by another sight: a spacious cement road with street lamps on both sides painted with blue and white paint, arranged straight as far as the eye can see.

After gradually approaching the direction of the airport, you can still see many JJ6 aircraft parked at the airport, and there are also rotorcraft training in the sky. Farther in the sky, there are JJ6 aircraft returning to land to clear the airspace.

.

“My God, Maier, look at this, this is a country with such an army, how can it be possible for the Netherlands to fight against it with its current strength?

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not use all his strength that day. If he strikes with all his strength now, the whole of Europe may be reduced to the ground."

"John, is this the most mysterious Royal Army camp in the Ming Dynasty that you have been to? It does look very different from the previous Ming Dynasty garrison.

I feel as if I have entered another world, which is not like what could be found in the Ming Dynasty or what this world could be."

Maier held his own cross necklace in his hand and kept talking about Jesus and the Virgin Mary, but it was no use. The horror in his heart was still very deep.

The Royal Army Barracks in the capital is the most modern place. After more than half a year of construction, it has become high-tech with electricity and water. From the appearance alone, it is no longer possible to tell the difference between ancient and modern times.

If you pick an ordinary sergeant from the current Royal Army at random, they will all have attended military night school and understand what a positive electrode is, what a wire is, and what an electric current is.

The teaching materials given by Chen Ye to Chongzhen were implemented meticulously by Chongzhen. He also knew very well how exaggerated Ming Dynasty's demands for these intellectuals were.

"This is like another world? Maybe what you said is right. I heard that mysterious national master once said that the Ming Dynasty is still connected to another world."

"Shit, do you really take this kind of joke seriously? Look, we should be getting off the bus soon. Is that the plane we are going to take today?"

Maier listened to Tang Ruowang follow his topic and said disdainfully, he just said it casually, how could there really be another world?

There was a huge airplane parked on the tarmac where the car was heading. Its shape looked a bit weird, and it always felt very fat. This made Maier very curious about its shape.

"I don't know, but it seems like this is the only plane here. Why does its belly feel like a ship?

I hope he can carry all our goods and fly away with us. Judging from his big belly, he should be able to carry it."

"The beautiful porcelain I brought cannot be broken, otherwise the price will change from a ten-ounce gold coin to a silver coin. This is my personal property."

"I don't understand why you are so anxious to bring it with you? Didn't His Majesty the Ming Dynasty say that he wants us to open branches of the Royal Merchant Company in the Holy Roman Empire and the Netherlands? There will be plenty of money to be made by then."

Tang Ruowang and Maier were watching the approaching plane in the car, and they were discussing with each other intensely.

In the off-road vehicle in front, Chen Ye was chewing bubble gum and looking at the new toy in front of him that he had just put out yesterday. The two jet engines on its back were very eye-catching.

"The Altair water transport aircraft is really unexpected. You are twenty years old and you can still install an automatic flight control system. Not bad, not bad. Let me train you well."

"National Guard, is it parked under the wing of that plane?"

"Yes, you will help them clean up the goods and load them into the aircraft cargo bay later, and then you can go back."

Hearing Chen Ye's affirmation, the off-road vehicle driver drove directly under the wing of the seaplane, and the truck following behind also stopped on the roadside.

"Secretary Tang Ruowang, Marquis Roma, and brothers, you can get off the car and prepare to board the plane. This is the car we are going to take next."

"Dear Imperial Master, this plane looks bigger than the one we took back to the capital last time. Its belly looks very wide. Is it designed for transporting cargo?"

"This thing is called a water transport plane. As you can tell from the name, it is for transportation purposes and can take off and land on water and land at the same time.

You don’t have an airport in Europe right now, so it’s difficult to land directly. If you fly by helicopter, it will take two days, which is too slow, so this is the most suitable one.”

Chen Ye explained to them the air chamber of a water transport plane, the belly of the ship that functions like a ship. His words made Maier's eyes flash with light.

He just heard that if there is no airport, we can't stop. Does this mean that if there is no airport, we can prevent the use of airplanes to land?

Of course, it is useless to pay attention to this point of concern.

After asking the sergeant to transport all the goods onto the plane, Chen Ye took Maier, Tang Ruowang, their attendants, and a class of the Royal Army Honor Guard, and nearly twenty people got into the cabin of the plane together.

After Chen Ye got on the plane, he put the cargo directly into the system display window. Although with Altair's transportation capacity, these tons of cargo were not a problem. Lao Maozi designed things for durability, but it was obviously more convenient to store them in the display window.

In the empty cargo hold, there were only five rows of seats fixed in the middle of the cabin, an airplane toilet at the rear, and a small bookshelf with some books on physics and chemistry. It was so simple that Tang Ruowang and Maier looked around.

On the contrary, the entourage and temporary employees brought by the two men were looking around very curiously, lying next to the window and looking out the window. The Royal Army also maintained discipline, but their eyes were still wandering.

Chen Ye held a box in his hand and handed each individually wrapped small schoolbag to everyone before walking up to Maier and Tang Ruowang.

"Here you go, this is your meal for the whole day ahead. There are five staple food packages and five bottles of drinks. If you need to go to the toilet, remember to go there."

"Five meals? Imperial Master, do we have to fly for two days?"

Tang Ruowang took his package and asked, according to their habit of eating two meals a day, wouldn't five meals take more than two days?

"After we take off, we will fly south to Luzon, then fly towards India, and finally fly over the Middle East and fly over Europe.

The whole journey will fly 24,000 miles and take about 13 hours. During this time, you will be in the air all the time.

According to Ming Dynasty time, we will arrive at one o'clock at noon tomorrow, but according to the time difference, we will arrive over the Netherlands at around six o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Oh God, that means we need to sleep in the sky? How can we sleep in the sky?"

"You are right to think so. I will give you sleeping bags. You see the cabin of the plane is so spacious, you can sleep wherever you want.

How's it going? You guys have broken the record of humans sleeping at high altitude for the first time. Come and take a group photo."

Chen Ye told them how to use self-heating food. He also took out a camera in his hand and took a photo for Tang Ruowang and Maier before starting to walk towards the cockpit.

Maier took the Polaroid photo and ignored his own talent. He looked at Chen Ye's demonstration equipment on the small table. It was steaming and full of surprise.

"Father John, is this magic? Why does this box start to heat itself when you add cold water?"

"This is lime hot water that people in the Ming Dynasty have known for a long time, and it is also the most popular self-heating rice in the Royal Army. This is also available in the Royal Merchant, haven't you noticed?

They not only use lime to make heat, but also use saltpeter to make ice. In the hot summer, people in Ningguo can also eat ice cubes and cold things."

"It's incredible. If all our sailors can carry this, they can have hot meals and dishes on the endless sea. This is so useful."

"Shit, do you only have war in your mind? Can't you notice the beauty of this world? The Lord sent you..."

Tang Ruowang felt that Maier's brain was like a knot, and his focus at all times was on fighting and killing people.

“Only war can bring peace and spread the gospel of the Lord. Why don’t you understand?

Wasn’t the purpose of the Crusades to spread the gospel? Isn’t it because of the war against Protestantism that forced you to talk about Catholicism from the Ming Dynasty?”

"Shit! You are speaking from the devil. You must have been influenced by those German Protestants."

"Not at all."

In the cockpit, Chen Ye closed the cockpit door tightly and naturally could not hear the argument behind him. After waving to the ground staff at the window and below, the ground staff waved their gestures and the airport had been cleared.

As the aircraft's engine started, Chen Ye checked the indicator lights according to his memory, and then pressed the joystick to let the aircraft enter the run-up phase.

Although Altair is a jet seaplane, its speed is not jet at all. It is just over a hundred faster than China's own Jiaolong, with a cruising speed of 600 kilometers per hour.

The main reason why Chen Ye chose Altair was that this guy had a big belly and could fit several motorboats, and the distance required for takeoff and landing was doubled.

As the plane accelerated and then raised its head, Maier and Tang Ruowang who were on the plane only felt their bodies tilting, their stomachs were churning, their ears were buzzing, and they couldn't help but cover their ears.

"Oh, this plane is completely different from the one I took a while ago. It's so uncomfortable."

"I think this is just an ordinary warehouse, right? It's not comfortable at all. I feel like there's a big cloud of gas in my ears. Oh, I don't want to fly on a plane anymore. This thing is uncomfortable."

"yue..."

"Don't vomit, you vomited, yue..."

As the plane entered the cruising altitude, several foreigners in the cabin vomited. The Royal Army couldn't bear the smell, so they honestly wore masks.

It wasn't until after a smooth flight, with the ventilation system operating at full power, that they felt better. The attendant wiped them with a tissue prepared in advance, and a sour smell filled the air.

"Shit, John, take out your perfume and spray it on. This smell is too unpleasant."

"This is an ounce of gold in a bottle of perfume!"

Tang Ruowang took out a bottle of perfume from his pocket distressedly, but Maier snatched it away unceremoniously and sprayed it continuously into the air of the cabin.

In the cockpit of the aircraft, Chen Ye set the aircraft to autopilot after entering the cruising altitude and flying smoothly.

Then relying on the existing satellites in the sky for automatic cruising, Chen Ye opened the hatch and went to the warehouse at the back.

As soon as the cabin door opened, the smell of perfume, sourness, bad breath and foot odor, and the spicy smell of self-heating hot pot mixed in the cabin. Chen Yexun could hardly open his eyes.

Tang Ruowang, who was opening the small table and unveiling the self-heating hot pot box, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. When he saw Chen Ye coming out with a bad look on his face, and when he was about to invite him to eat some, what did he suddenly realize?

"Seller of cakes, dear Imperial Master, doesn't this plane need someone to control it?"

"Seller of cakes! Imperial Master, you are out, who is flying the plane???"

Maier also reacted after listening to Tang Ruowang's exclamation. Their concept of consciousness did not yet have the concept of automatic driving. Thinking that he was still at an altitude of 10,000 meters, could he not fly the plane now?

"Don't worry, this thing has an auto-cruise flight mode. If it encounters abnormal air pressure or turbulent airflow, I will go over and take control and come back in time."

It doesn't matter if they can't be rescued. Just flash back and replace them with the next batch of envoys. However, a squad of Royal Army soldiers still have to be saved. These are all land aviation warriors who can fly helicopters.

Chen Ye's words were not heard by the two of them. Under his comfort, Tang Ruowang sat down in shock, while Maier looked at the cockpit with interest, feeling a little itchy. He wanted to fly the plane.

"Gentlemen, before arriving in Europe, we still have an unforgettable air journey to spend. This may be the only opportunity for any of you to sleep in the air in your life.

I hope you all have a pleasant journey. Now, I want to talk to the Marquis of Rome and the Religious Minister about the main purpose of this trip to Europe, but before that, I want to say something."

Chen Ye took out a small ponytail and sat across from Maier and Tang Ruowang. He looked relaxed, but Tang Ruowang and Maier were extremely nervous.

"Mr. Maier, I noticed that after you surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, you seemed to have not figured out your position. This is not good, and it also disappointed the Ming court.
