Chapter 947 Proxy War
The sunlight shines directly on the wide and flat oil-shot road. The shadow of the road is projected on the road. The vehicles driving on the road are flowing continuously under the alternating light of light and darkness. The cars behind the cars are rolling up dry dust, covering the nearness of the road in the yellow dust.
This Paiyou Road connects Beijing and Nanyuan and leads to Tianjin. After completion, it has been expanded again. The road surface is wider and three trucks can be driven side by side.
Although after the end of the European War, industrial production across the country was depressed and car sales in various places decreased greatly, the national highway connecting Beijing to Tianjin was still busy. Every day, vehicles passing by always make the road seem very noisy. Sedans, trucks, motorcycles, even guides and mule carts all regard this road as a smooth road. Sometimes, for many people who are anxious to do business, it is more convenient to take this national highway than to take a train.
Because they are close, a fleet of domestic cars can often be seen on this road, which are usually vehicles from government departments. Because the central government prohibits government departments from purchasing foreign cars, this can also be regarded as a measure to support their own industries.
Now, on the section close to Nanyuan Air Force Base, a convoy of five cars and a truck is heading south. The passengers sitting in the car are all staff members of the Aviation Department. Among them, the Director of Aviation Xie Zantai has the highest position, and the others are basically his subordinates or assistants. They are heading to Nanyuan Air Force Base.
The convoy quickly left the main road, turned on a small road, and headed straight for Nanyuan Air Force Base. When he arrived at the base, Xie Zantai realized that there were crowds of people near the wall of the air force base, and residents from all over the countryside rushed to watch the fun. Although they could not enter the air force base, even if they stood outside the air force base, people could still see what they wanted to see.
It was a very huge hard airship, which was made by the China Aviation Administration based on the drawings of the large hard airship provided by Germany. The airship is larger than that of Germany and has considerable load capacity. Only five prototype airships have been built in total. They are currently serving in the Chinese Air Force. Although the airship is very slow, it is generally used to perform military transportation tasks because it is much larger than that of aircraft. Military operations in some remote areas that do not connect to railways and highways are often inseparable from the logistics support of the airship troops. In this sense, this large hard airship still has certain value. However, since the airship airbags are filled with flammable gas hydrogen, it takes great courage to operate this airship.
Now, the large hard airship is suspended over the air force base and has been tied to the aviation command tower by ropes. It continues to lower the altitude under the command of the aviation controller. It must be admitted that compared to the aircraft, the airship has many shortcomings, and the difficulty of taking off and landing is not comparable to that of the aircraft. Therefore, those residents who are used to air base aircraft find it very novel and do not understand why this aircraft lands slowly.
In fact, this is the first time this large hard airship has appeared at Nanyuan Air Force Base. Even for some soldiers in the air force base, the scene in front of them is quite impressive. Some officers who love photography even set up cameras in the appropriate location in the base and took photos at the behemoth in the sky.
Xie Zantai's convoy quickly drove into the air force base. After the car finally stopped on the school ground of the air force base, the airship had already dropped to a suitable height. The ground crew on the ground was dragging the ropes thrown by the airship under the command of the officer, preparing to tie the airship to the ground. Since there was no airship organization in Nanyuan military base, there was no airship garage here, so it could only be exposed to direct sunlight. In order to prevent the airbag from being exploded by high temperatures, the airship commander had to discharge more hydrogen, and smoking was absolutely prohibited on the scene.
The reason why this airship appeared at the Nanyuan Air Force Base was to perform an important transportation task. Xie Zantai rushed to Nanyuan for this reason. His mission was to pick up two British-made aviation motives from the airship's cargo warehouse and bring them back to the Aviation Agency to convene technicians to evaluate this aviation motive to confirm what level the British aviation motive manufacturing level has reached.
The two aeronautical motives were obtained in Central Asia, and the source was an air encounter that had never been seen in the newspapers. In that battle, two Chinese Air Force "class Hornets" fighters who were performing combat patrol missions in Shiva Oasis in the Central Asian desert area were suddenly intercepted by four new fighters of unknown nationality in the air. The Chinese Air Force quickly counterattacked and shot down all four fighters of unknown nationality. Two of them crashed on the ground and were completely burned, but the other two were only injured and tried to force land on the edge of the desert, but the forced landing failed. The plane planted a green onion backwards.
After hitting the desert, one of the four enemy pilots was killed on the spot and turned into ashes with the plane. One of them parachuted and fled quickly. The two pilots who forced the plane to land broke their necks in the plane. The two fighter planes that crashed the plane were seized by the Chinese cavalry troops who rushed to the scene. Based on the facial features and personal documents of the dead pilots, they were all British pilots, and they were likely to have participated in European air combat, with rich experience. They finally survived the European air combat, but did not want to fall into the desert air combat in Central Asia.
This was a contest between the Chinese Air Force and the British Air Force. It was born half a month ago, but both China and the British side remained silent about the battle. Although the overall performance of British fighters was not as good as that of Chinese fighters, the local air force after obtaining captured British fighters and studying their motivations, the performance of the motivation was better than that of the "Class Hornets". So he reported to the Air Force Department. Then the Air Force Department decided to disassemble the motives of the two fighters and hand them over to the Airship Force, and the Aircraft Department was transferred to the Aviation and Aircraft Department. The Aviation Department asked the Aviation Department to conduct in-depth research on this new British aviation motive.
Xie Zantai rushed to the Air Force Base for this purpose. When he received the notice from the Air Force Department, he was a little dissatisfied and thought it was the Air Force Department's fuss. You should know that the motive of the "class wasp" is not the most advanced among the aviation motives made in China. Now, the Aviation Administration is still studying more advanced aviation motives. To be honest, Xie Wei. Zhonghuai is a bureaucrat of the Air Force Department's foreign mentality, and believes that Zhongyou cannot compare to foreign countries. However, Xie Zantai is very clear that in China's industry, the aviation industry is the most eye-catching and has attracted foreign gaze. There are several cases of Ran spy cases cracked by the security department of the Aviation Administration alone.
However, if you are not convinced, you have to come over, because this is not only the suggestion of the Air Force Department, but also the order of the Commander-in-Chief. The president is also very concerned about the development of the British aviation industry and hopes that Xie Zantai can use this new type of aviation motivation to study and give the president a clear idea.
What surprised Xie Zantai was that when he got off the car, he found that a familiar officer was standing not far away. Qin Sihu, the captain of the Presidential Office guard, and he has always been the president's personal bodyguard. He is there. It often means that the president is there too.
"The president is here too? Isn't it just two British Airways motives that it's worth a trip to the president himself?"
Xie Zantai was very surprised and hurriedly greeted Qin Sihu and asked the other party about the inside story.
Qin Sihu whispered: "The president is not here to pick up the motives, he is here to pick up the people. As for who to pick up, don't ask, I don't know who it is."
While Xie Zantai was thinking, he saw a group of people walking over from the airship from afar. The person walking in front was Zhao Bei, the President of the Republic of China. There was also a middle-aged director who was dressed in a very eye-catching manner. Judging from his outfit, he seemed not a Chinese.
Zhao Bei also saw Xie Zantai from afar, so he led the man next to him and greeted Xie Zantai.
Director Xie, this is His Highness Sudan Rahman of Shiva. He came to visit our country and flew over from the side of Maihua with the airship. I came to pick him up. Since it was a secret visit, I did not tell you in advance, nor did I notify the press."
"Hello, Your Highness Sudan."
Xie Zantai greeted the Central Asian leader politely, but to be honest, he didn't take that person seriously in his heart. Now that the Central Asian heroes are rising up, they dare to call him "Sudan Emil". They may live in the palace today, and may be killed by their competitors tomorrow. As for this Rahman Sudan, I am afraid that he is also a warlord in trouble. He came to China to seek refuge or international support. Now, according to the unreliable rumors, Xirang. There are several people living in the Central Asian region. Basically,
They were all deposed by British or pro-British forces, and the purpose of coming to China is very clear, because they all know that China is now engaged in a "agent war" with Britain in Central Asia. Those Central Asian warlords who are called lonely have the shadow of these two major powers behind them. If they don't surrender to China, they will not be able to be fence-bearing, at least not now. However, this Rahman Sudan actually came by on an airship. To be honest, Xie Zantai admired his courage. The so-called heroes in troubled times cannot be a hero without any courage.
"Because Rahman Sudan was eager to see me, he decided to come directly by airship. His entourage was his family and confidants. In the future, they would live in Xishan."
Zhao Bei's words solved Xie Zantai's question, but Xie Zantai was not interested in such international political speculators, so he quickly said goodbye to His Highness Sudan and took his assistant to receive the two British-made aviation motives.
Looking at Xie Zantai going away, Rahman Sudan asked Xie Zantai curiously about his identity.
"He is the chief official of an important industrial department in our country. In fact, during the last coup in the Shiva Sudan Kingdom, the fighter jets provided to you by the Chinese Air Force were designed and manufactured by the department he was in charge. I believe His Highness Sudan has also seen those excellent fighters, which are comparable to the British fighter jets driven by British mercenaries."
Zhao Bei briefly introduced the Aviation Administration to Rahman Sudan through the fence, and then asked the Central Asian Warlord who stepped down to get on a luxury car. "Ding asked the captain of the guards a few words, and then Rahman's convoy took the lead, while Zhao Bei was waiting for another person in his car.
Soon, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Tian Jinfu rushed to Zhao Bei's car with a briefcase.
"This is the relevant information transferred by the intelligence officer just now. Based on the current situation analysis, the last coup in Shiva is likely planned by the British behind the scenes, but the Bolsheviks were implemented. Obviously, in order to prevent our country from infiltration into Central Asian countries, the British did not hesitate to use the Russian revolutionary forces."
"Oh? The British have a flexible position."
Zhao Bei took the documents handed over by Tian Jinfu and read them. As Tian Jinfu said, in the coup of the Shivasudan Kingdom, the British and the Russian Bolsheviks played an important role, so that their joint power exceeded China's local power, so the current Shiva is under the control of the Bolsheviks.
Now, there are seven independent sovereign states officially recognized by Britain, France and other countries. Among them, the Republic of Kokand, Bukhara, and Tashkent were completely controlled by China, but they were overthrown by a coup not long ago. At present, China and Britain are still fighting fiercely in that small Central Asian country. Taking advantage of the chaos, Britain completely controls three small countries in Central Asia. The Republic of Shiva is currently also a place where China and Britain compete fiercely, but in the end, it is Russia's revolutionary force that controls that small country.
Of course, Zhao Bei fully believes that after using the Russian Bolsheviks, the British government will quickly abandon it in a short period of time and then support pro-British forces in Shiva.
At this time, Britain and China were desperately occupying the advantage of Central Asia, and no one was willing to give in. According to the reliable information obtained by Zhao Bei, Britain had transferred a group of troops mobilized from the European battlefield to India. I believe that the British teams will soon appear in Persia and then on the edge of the desert in the eastern Caspian Sea.
