Hearing Commander Xu recount the difficulties faced by the Snow Region Army, Lin Sanqi nodded slightly, thinking that indeed, this was a plateau area with an altitude of five or six thousand meters.
Not to mention carrying supplies into the mountains, even walking is difficult because the oxygen is too thin, only half of that in the plains.
In another short video of time and space, only fully armed mountaineering enthusiasts carrying oxygen tanks would explore such places.
Fighting in this place, altitude sickness can torture people to death.
Lin Sanqi is full of respect for our children. They have sacrificed too much to guard the country's borders.
"Commander Xu, what kind of help do you want from Bao'an County? Just tell us. Director Shen and I are very clear about our stance. We will definitely help you if we can, without hesitation."
If he still cares about trivial matters at this time, he is no longer a Chinese.
Upon hearing this, Leader Jing nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.
Xu Tianxing felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and his voice was a little choked up:
"Commissioner Lin, Director Shen, I'll shamelessly state our request:
First of all, could you help us get a batch of more advanced weapons suitable for plateau warfare?
Baotou not only has the support of the United States, but also secretly the Soviet Union, which provides a large number of advanced weapons. But we have no one behind us, and we are at a great disadvantage in terms of weapons."
When Lin Sanqi heard this, he slammed the table in anger, feeling distressed and angry:
"Nonsense! How could you have no one behind you? The entire nation is supporting you, and we in Bao'an County are your solid backing. It's just weapons and logistical supplies, I'll take care of that."
Xu Tianxing was even more moved when he heard this:
"Okay, thank you, thank you Commissioner Lin. As long as we have sufficient weapons and supplies, we have the determination and ability to attack Reed directly. Uh, but Commissioner Lin, what kind of weapons are you going to provide us?"
Now it was Lin Sanqi's turn to scratch his head. Before, he had been thinking about fighting in the Yunnan tropical rainforest and had never thought about fighting in the snowy plateau.
These two environments are completely different, and the weapons required are naturally different, especially the transportation equipment. If you ask the Shandong cat to walk more than 2,000 kilometers to transport supplies, this is obviously not the specialty of the Shandong cat.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi asked:
“Commander Xu, is it possible for you to build an airstrip in the Kongkazan area?
I just listened to your story and feel that delivering supplies on the ground is indeed too difficult, so I think the best way is to send them by plane, which is efficient, fast, and highly maneuverable."
Who knew Xu Tianxing just shook his head:
"Commissioner Lin, have you ever heard of the Hump Route during World War II?"
Lin Sanqi nodded. He had heard of this before, especially the commander-in-chief of the Flying Tigers, Claire Lee Chennault. He was a household name.
Xu Tianxing continued to explain:
"The Hump Route was an air transport route opened by China and the United States during World War II. It was mainly used to transport strategic materials and combat personnel to my country. The route was named after the Himalayas.
The average flight altitude of the Hump Route was close to 4,000 meters, and sometimes it even had to fly over mountains as high as 7,000 meters, which was an extreme sport for aircraft at the time.
That year, the US military suffered a loss rate of over 80% on the Hump Route, losing nearly 1,500 aircraft and nearly 3,000 pilots.
Even our country suffered heavy losses, with a total of 48 aircraft and 168 pilots lost, a loss rate of over 50%.
From these data, we can see that it is extremely dangerous to transport supplies to the Himalayas by plane.
Our current domestic transport aircraft are not capable of doing this, so we have not considered air transport."
Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously.
Because the propeller aircraft used during World War II had limited performance, especially the early DC-2, C-53 and other models, which were not suitable for high-altitude flight, the crash rate remained high.
He is a man with the ability to travel through time, so it would be easy for him to get a few planes suitable for the plateau and snow-capped mountains.
Even if you can’t buy it in China, you can just buy it abroad.
But Lin Sanqi was not sure about the specifics, so he had to continue to confirm:
"Commander Xu, I'll figure out the plane issue. I just want to confirm if you can level out a simple airfield. If you can't even build an airfield, then I'll have to think of other solutions."
Xu Tianxing thought for a moment, pointed at the map and said:
"This place is called Tiannan River Valley. There's a simple airstrip here that was abandoned by the British during World War II. After some renovations, the runway should be able to accommodate aircraft takeoffs and landings. It's about 30 kilometers from our base, so it's very close."
Lin Sanqi felt relieved when he heard this. He was most afraid that the plateau was full of mountains and it would be impossible to land the transport plane.
However, long-distance transportation of more than 2,000 kilometers is not the strong point of helicopters. What's more, ordinary helicopters cannot reach the plateau at all. If they crash into the mountain, they will be doomed.
"Okay, leaders, you guys should rest in Bao'an County for a few days. I can't tell you exactly what kind of help I can provide right now. I need to cross the border to Xiangjiang, and I'll definitely bring you good news when I come back."
Leader Jing stood up at this time, patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder and said:
"Good boy, I knew you wouldn't let me down. Don't hide anything. Show us everything you have. This is a matter of national territorial integrity. We are acting in self-defense and must strike hard at the invading enemy.
Use war to promote peace and create a peaceful and harmonious world. We should strive to make Baotou peaceful and quiet after this battle. Otherwise, we don't mind drinking from the Ganges. Humph."
Lin Sanqi's newly born arrogance disappeared in an instant, and he waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, please drink the Ganges water first, leader."
Xu Tianxing also cupped his hands and repeatedly bent over, saying, "Commissioner Lin, please, please!"
That night, Lin Sanqi took a large plane to Litchi Wo and disappeared in Bao'an County.
December 2015.
Lin Sanqi appeared in Xi'an again with his secretary Yao Zhuohan.
On the plane, Yao Zhuohan was a little puzzled: "Boss, didn't we just go to Dongshan Province? How come we're in Shaanxi Province again after just a few days?"
Lin Sanqi was reading a novel on his phone. He didn't even look up when he heard this.
"Of course it's to make money. If the boss doesn't make money, where will the money come from to pay you?"
Yao Zhuohan curled his lips, thinking that his boss took him on business trips all day long. Was he planning to take action against him while they were away?
Will I agree to it then, or will I agree to it?
Thinking of this, Yao Zhuohan blushed a little. The little fairy was just so ordinary and confident...
In the office of the chairman of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group.
Huang Jinpeng held Lin Sanqi's hand tightly, smiling like a matchmaker:
"Ah, Mr. Lin, welcome, welcome. We haven't seen each other for several months."
After Lin Sanqi shook hands with the head of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, the two of them sat down.
"Mr. Huang, I'm sorry to bother you again to pick me up at the airport. I'm really embarrassed. But I don't have any other friends in the aviation industry, so I have to trouble you."
Huang Jinpeng waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter if it's a problem or not. As long as it's Director Lin's business, it's our Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group's business, and it's the top priority. Haha. If it weren't for you, our Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group would probably have a hard time this year."
Lin Sanqi's total order is worth 60 billion yuan. Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group can get at least 6 billion yuan from the profit and agency fees of this aircraft, which is one tenth of the total.
With so much money, the financial crisis of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group was greatly alleviated.
"Besides, not only will the employees' income increase significantly, the key is that we are now rich, and with money we can invest more in scientific research. So, Director Lin, you are definitely a great benefactor to our Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group."
"No, no, this is all the result of the hard work of Xifei people."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time before getting down to business.
"Mr. Huang, I came here this time to ask for your help. I'm in urgent need of a transport aircraft, and your Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group is an expert in this. I saw you had quite a few Y-20s parked in your hangar last time."
Huang Jinpeng felt embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that this kid had taken a fancy to his baby.
"Director Lin, ah, I really don't mean to embarrass you, but the country has regulations that prohibit the sale of the Y-20. We don't have many in our country yet, and we don't even have enough for our own use."
Lin Sanqi was disappointed when he heard this, because he had checked the information and it said that the Y-20 was very well adapted to the plateau environment.
Originally, he thought that with his relationship with Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, wouldn't it be easy to just get a few planes over?
"What about leasing it? Can the Y-20 be leased? I need it urgently." (End of this chapter)
