Lin Sanqi finished his dinner in the cafeteria. Director Zhao of the Yunnan Provincial Health Department said with a smile:
"Comrade Sanqi, let's go. Lao Cao is here too. This time he brought you the jade you like."
Lin Sanqiyi was very happy. He didn't expect that money would fall from the sky while he was sitting at home.
"Oh, Comrade Lao Zhao, Commander Cao is coming. Why didn't you tell me in advance? Let's go. We can't let my God of Wealth wait anxiously."
Lin Sanqi said hello to everyone and ran out like the wind.
In the county government office.
"I told Lao Zhao not to tell anyone. He came here on business. I saw you've been quite busy, so I wanted to wait until you were done before seeing you again, haha. This time, I also got you two carloads of jadeite, and I brought them all here."
Commander Cao said this as he leaned comfortably on a massage chair.
This first-class massage chair was brought by Lin Sanqi from another time and space. He got more than ten of them in total.
Except for one each for himself and Shen Guoming, the rest were all given to 11 masters of traditional Chinese medicine who had moved to Bao'an County to spend their twilight years.
When you are tired, you can lie on it, let the machine massage you, and then take a nap. It is definitely a great enjoyment in life.
Lin Sanqi was sitting on his rattan chair at this time, holding a flashlight in one hand, shining it continuously on a jadeite rough stone the size of a basketball on the table, his eyes shining.
"Wow, this is great, this is great. With such a large glass-type imperial green rough stone, I can make so many bracelets, haha. Lao Cao, thank you for your hard work."
Commander Cao closed his eyes and replied:
"It was hard work, of course it was hard work. For your two trainloads of jade, we worked so hard to bring them back from the Ulong River Basin in the Phakant region, using horses and people, just like ants moving house, bit by bit.
Do you know how far that is? From Hpakant to the border is over 300 kilometers, and from the border to Kunming is another 700 kilometers of mountain roads. There were all kinds of wild animals and venomous snakes along the way. Many of our soldiers were injured, but fortunately no one died.
Damn, these are stones, so heavy. In the past few months, in addition to eliminating the invading enemies at the border, at least half of our troops have been used to make these beautiful stones for you that can't be eaten or worn.
Comrade Xiaolin, you can't treat us unfairly."
Lin Sanqi felt quite contemptuous, thinking that in the last transaction, I gave you a lot of money, and now you want me to not treat them unfairly.
Of course, the jade in these two carloads is worth at least tens of billions, so it is only right to provide the other party with some supplies.
"Okay, okay, Lao Cao, go ask around in China. When have I ever treated my partners unfairly? Have you ever heard that I, Lin Sanqi, am a timely rain for the health system?"
Director Zhao laughed when he heard this:
"This great name is like thunder in our ears, haha."
Commander Cao sat up at this time and asked mysteriously:
"Comrade Xiaolin, you are being disrespectful. I heard that you got a batch of the latest fighter jets for the Air Force?
Old Yang from a certain air force in Yunnan has boasted to me several times that the Yunnan Air Force can also be allocated 15 aircraft to form a squadron. This guy is so arrogant.
Xiaolin, tell me, we are old friends. Our army has been searching the world for jadeite for you. Even the Pu'er tea you wanted was transported by our army's special train.
In the end, the Air Force got all the good things. Tell me, aren't you stabbing your old friend in the back?
Oh my god, I was so sad and angry when I found out. I was so angry that I had to take sleeping pills every day to fall asleep.
Lin Sanqi saw that the old man was jealous and thought it was quite funny:
"Old Cao, you don't know, the enemy planes are flying around in the sky above us every day, and they don't take us seriously at all. Do you think I should get some planes and shoot them down?
Our domestic air force is really in trouble. It was just by chance that I had the opportunity to get a plane, so I helped the air force.
As for the army, I'm not worried at all. You're known as the world's most elite ace infantry, capable of crushing even the US-led UN forces. There's no rush to change your equipment."
"Why aren't you in a hurry?"
Commander Cao was not convinced when he heard this:
"The Air Force is useless. It only plays a supporting role. In a real major battle, to put it bluntly, it is still up to our army to charge and eliminate large numbers of enemy forces.
The Air Force is just about firing a few shots in the sky, but it also has to guard against this and that, and it also needs maintenance, and it requires a lot of aviation kerosene, which is very precious. Maintaining one Air Force can support four or five armies."
Lin Sanqi thought that the army was still the main force in the 1960s, but its good days were numbered.
The future will belong to the navy and the air force. If we still rely on the army to play the main role in war, that is the backward way of fighting in World War II.
Only the Russians used it, and in the end it couldn't even defeat the Russians, and it completely became a paper tiger.
"By the way, Lao Cao, have you deployed the drones I supported you with last time? Are they working well?"
Commander Cao grinned and said:
"It works very well. As soon as the drone is launched, we can clearly see where the enemy is, especially at night. We can hit them with one strike. We have driven the bandits and defeated troops on the border into hiding."
Lin Sanqi slapped his thigh and said excitedly:
"Oh, that's good. My efforts have paid off. Look, I've done a great service for your army."
Commander Cao stopped laughing at this time and sighed:
"You only gave us a few dozen last time, and promised to get us thousands or even tens of thousands of drones later. But so many days have passed, and you, Commissioner Lin, are so forgetful, and there's no follow-up."
Lin Sanqi blushed:
"Well, well, I just forgot about my work worries. Look, I have such a big industrial park to build, and I have to sell medicine too. I'm so busy that I can't even rest."
Commander Cao said contemptuously:
"If you hadn't gone to the Northeast to help the Air Force get planes, I would have really believed your lies."
Director Zhao was just drinking water when he couldn't help but spit it out, and then he laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
Lin Sanqi solemnly took out his notebook and assured:
"I definitely won't forget this time. I've written it down in my diary. Even if I forget, I'll have my two secretaries remind me."
Commander Cao nodded, then continued with a sigh:
"Although drones are useful, over time, the enemy has become smarter. When they hear a buzzing sound, they know a reconnaissance plane is coming, and they run away very fast.
So, Comrade Xiaolin, you are so powerful, can you help us think of a solution? We must not only be able to detect the enemy, but also be able to catch up with their weapons. In other words, we need to be highly mobile, so that we can ultimately destroy the enemy, right?
Lin Sanqi tapped the table with his fingers and looked at the text on the notebook again.
Since last year, a conflict has broken out between us and the State of Baotou.
Although we won a great victory in this war, the logistical supply in the plateau area was difficult to maintain, and we were eventually forced to make a strategic retreat from the occupied land.
The transportation difficulties that Commander Cao mentioned are even more difficult in Zhaxi Deler. That is a plateau area, and that is the real difficulty.
Yunnan and Southeast Asia are pristine tropical rainforests with no roads, making it difficult for ordinary trucks to pass through. So what should we do?
Lin Sanqi is not a military fan, so he is a little troubled.
"Lao Cao, I understand that you have poor mobility. It's easy for me to solve. I can just get you a few hundred large trucks and off-road vehicles.
But you said that there is a primitive forest over there, with almost no flat land and no roads. So, is it possible for you to drive your truck into such a primitive forest?
Commander Cao shook his head repeatedly:
"There are no roads, and even if we have cars, it won't work. The area over there is not like the North China Plain, which is flat and suitable for mechanized and group operations.
Let me put it this way, the mountain roads over there are all ups and downs, and many places are like rock climbing. And after walking a few steps, you will encounter a stream or river, or a swamp, and people will fall into it if they walk past.
If it is a tracked motor vehicle like a tank, it is okay, but a four-wheeled car definitely won't work.
But if it's a tank, there's also a problem. Tanks are too heavy. Weighing several tons, if you're not careful, you could easily fall off a cliff or get stuck in a swamp.
Lin Sanqi thought of a question at this time and asked in confusion:
"Lao Cao, I remember that during the expeditionary era, the Japanese occupied the entire Southeast Asia. They built airports and bunkers in Burma, and there were many tanks and cars.
I'm really confused. 20 years ago, the Japanese could roam freely in the rainforest, but why can't you do it now? Or is there something special about the Japanese cars and tanks?"
Commander Cao said disdainfully:
"There's nothing special about it. The Japanese were able to pass through the tropical rainforests of Myanmar because they captured a large number of local people to build roads. They didn't treat them as human beings. Many forced laborers died.
Furthermore, the Japanese weren't running around everywhere; they only occupied a few major cities, and their routes were point-to-point. Otherwise, with their limited forces, how could they possibly disperse? Therefore, there's no practical use for reference. (End of this chapter)
