Expedition to Europe

Just as Merzoug and the Emir were lamenting the difficult situation, a huge temporary airport in Al-Khaji, eighty kilometers away from Riyadh, was under emergency construction.

As the most advanced transport aircraft in Lanfang, the "Kangaroo" has a dead weight of more than four tons, which places higher requirements on the airport. It is most basic that there are no potholes. The airport ground must also be harder to bear the impact of the "Kangaroo" when it lands. Huge impact.

Although it is a temporary airport, according to the consistent style of the Lanfang military, related facilities must be as perfect as possible. Therefore, in order to ensure that the airport meets the standards, Chen Kangjian airdropped a platoon of engineers to the Alka aircraft at noon. They will be responsible for supervising the temporary airport. Airport construction.

With the full cooperation of the Nejd people, the location of the temporary airport was quickly selected, and then two regiments of Mamluk camel cavalry entered the site and immediately began construction of the airport under the command of Lanfang engineers.

This is also a trick of fate. In the 21st century, Saudis are delicate and expensive. Not to mention letting them build the airport, the sanitation workers who clean the sanitation are hired from abroad. The Saudis don't have to do anything, just stroll around and become uncles. .

The Najd people were born at the wrong time. Due to the rise of Lanfang, the Najd people are destined not to have such a superior environment as in another time and space. Therefore, the current Najd people can really be regarded as hard-working and practical. In the Lanfang Engineer Corps He did whatever he was asked to do under the command of the Lanfang engineer without any resistance to the orders of the Lanfang engineer.

In fact, it is not difficult to build a temporary airport under the command of an expert. The standard of the Lanfang Air Force is that with the assistance of construction machinery, it generally only takes four hours to build a temporary airport.

Alka Machine does not have construction machinery, but Alka Machine has many people, and they are all young and strong boys, so they can only rely on manpower to carry them on their shoulders and hands.

The temporary airport is located in a dry river near Alka. The length of the airport runway is about one kilometer. This runway is the top priority of the airport.

Lanfang engineers' requirement for the runway is that it cannot be penetrated by needles, which means that a runway that meets the standard should not be able to penetrate even a needle. The commander of the Najd Cavalry Regiment in charge of building the airport was a little desperate when he heard this requirement. Think this is absolutely impossible to do.

However, under the demonstration of the Lanfang engineers, the Nejd people really saw what high standards and strict requirements are. Four Lanfang engineers worked together, and within half an hour, the position turned a one-square-meter ground into a "pin needle" Can't penetrate."

In fact, describing it is not enough, let alone a needle that cannot penetrate, even if you use a hammer to smash a nail into the ground, it still cannot penetrate.

The fact is before our eyes, which leaves the commander of the Najd Cavalry speechless, so just roll up your sleeves and do it.

The difficulty is still high. After all, the workload of serving a one-kilometer-long runway is much greater than that of one square meter. The wingspan of the "Kangaroo" is close to 30 meters, so considering the safety of aircraft taking off and landing, the airport runway must be at least 40 meters long. meters wide, which was not easy for three thousand people to complete in one day.

Then work the night shift.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the temporary airport was brightly lit, and the Najd people lit bonfires around the airport. Under the light of the fire, thousands of soldiers were fighting all night.

These two cavalry regiments are the elite troops of Najd. They are all equipped with Mauser rifles provided by Lanfang. This is not a "committee style" that is selling sheep over dogs. It is the real 98A, the two cavalry regiments. The leaders of the group are also members of the Najd royal family, one is called Issam Rashid, and the other is named Ogbeh Rashid.

Of course, members of the royal family also have different statuses. It is obvious that the two Rashid's status is not very high, at least there is no possibility of inheriting the throne, so they serve in the military.

Although they were members of the royal family and held the rank of colonel, in front of the engineer platoon leader Lanfang who held the rank of warrant officer, the two regiment commanders still did not show the slightest bit of arrogance, and had the correct mentality of "a small country with few people".

It is naturally impossible for members of the royal family to do everything themselves like ordinary soldiers. Therefore, after arriving at the temporary airport, the two regiment leaders drank tea comfortably in the tent set up by the Lanfang engineers and looked at the warrant officer named Xiong Jianye. Centered command.

"Xiong, can't you come over and take a rest? Our progress is pretty good and we will definitely finish it before dawn. Don't worry." Issam Rashid smoked a cigar and drank tea, with a lot of food in his mouth. He stopped to greet Xiong Jianye.

"I'll say it again, don't call me Xiong, call me Ye." Xiong Jianye didn't even look back. He had dug a trap for the two princes as he spoke.

The common language in Najd is Persian, but as members of the royal family, they are relatively well educated, so French is not a problem for them. Xiong Jianye is an engineering soldier and spends a lot of time dealing with the outside world. Although Chinese currently dominates the Lanfang Army, soldiers generally learn a foreign language for the convenience of communication. French and German are the most widely used.

Hearing Xiong Jianye's words, the two princes suddenly burst into laughter. Then Ogebai slapped the table and laughed: "Xiong, don't think we don't know. I won't call you 'Ye'. I have a Chinese teacher now." ”

For Najd people, neither French nor English is actually very important. Chinese is the most important. If you want to have a good relationship with Lanfang, you must start by learning Chinese.

Now the royal family of Najd has set off an upsurge in learning Chinese. Not only ordinary members like Issam and Ogbai, but also King Ashraf Rashid are learning Chinese.

"You two are so idle. If you have nothing to do, you can go outside to supervise the work. Our progress is a bit slow." Xiong Jianye was a little worried. It was already three o'clock in the morning, but the airport runway had not been completed. According to the scheduled plan, the first "Kangaroo" would land at eight o'clock in the morning. Time was really tight.

"Don't worry, Xiong. No one dares to be lazy. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will strip him naked and whip his ass with a whip." Isam was confident, not confident that he could complete it on time, but confident that the people of Najd would not be lazy.

"If you want to be whipped, you two should be the first two. Aren't you two slacking off?" Xiong Jianye finally turned his head and looked at Isam's ass with ill intentions.

"We are not lazy. We use chatting as a way to keep you awake and strengthen communication between us. This is our most important job now." Ou Gebai said shamelessly.

Ou Gebai was right. Strengthening communication between Lan Fang and Najd is the job of all members of the Najd royal family and the top priority of the Najd royal family now.

"Speaking of staying awake, don't drink tea, try this." Xiong Jianye finally put down his work and took out two bags of coffee from his bag and threw them to the two princes.

"What is this?" Isam caught it in a hurry and looked at it over and over again.

"Coffee - very fragrant - a very special fragrance." Ou Gebai is good at hands-on work and has already torn open the plastic packaging bag.

Speaking of "plastic", this is the latest achievement of Lan Fang Industry.

The application of plastic in the 21st century is very wide, covering all aspects of people's lives and is closely related to people's lives. No matter what you do, you can't do without plastic products.

In the 1920s, plastic products just appeared.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @book/bar!

Not right, plastic has appeared about 70 years ago, but it has not been widely used. It was not until the invention of nylon that plastic products began to become popular.

Qin Zhiyuan has a lot of oil fields, and Lan Fang Imperial University has a lot of scientists, so plastic products have now become a new industry in Lan Fang.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan did not forget the "white pollution" that appeared with plastic products. Therefore, although plastic products are developing rapidly in Lan Fang, Qin Zhiyuan has ordered the Ministry of Environmental Protection to formulate relevant regulations to stipulate the disposal of plastic waste products to avoid the occurrence of "white pollution".

These regulations are only within the territory of Lan Fang. Outside Lan Fang, these regulations are not binding. The two bags of instant coffee that Xiong Jianye threw to the two princes were sealed in plastic bags.

"Try it, this is our Lan Fang specialty, the output is rare, and it is specially supplied to the army." Xiong Jianye also spared no effort in promoting it.

For the people of Nejd, Lan Fang products are synonymous with excellent quality, excellent quality, and advanced performance. The status of Lan Fang products in Nejd is much higher than that of "German goods" and "Japanese goods" in the Republic in the 21st century. The daily necessities used by the royal family of Nejd are basically produced by Lan Fang, from cars to underwear, so the two princes did not hesitate and immediately rushed to the instant coffee.

"Indeed - very good, refreshing and delicious." Isam praised it highly.

"Xiong, do you have any more? Give me two more bags." Ou Gebai was greedy.

"Wait, wait for our transport plane to fly over, and you can have as much as you want." Xiong Jianye laughed heartily. Seeing that Lan Fang products were so popular, Xiong Jianye was proud from the bottom of his heart.

"Then what are you waiting for? Get moving, get moving, speed up, and finish before dawn, otherwise I will hang you all up -" Ou Gebai rushed to the door of the tent and shouted outside.

"Xiong, I have something to ask you." Isam was not in a hurry, and looked at Xiong Jianye thoughtfully.

"What?" Xiong Jianye looked at Isam with expectation.

"You may not know that my oldest child is twelve years old this year. I want to send him to Lan Fang for education. I wonder if this is possible?" Isam also expected.

Issam is only about 30 years old this year. If Issam didn't say it, no one would have thought that his child is already 12 years old, and from what Issam said, there is more than one.

"Of course - oh, I mean I can help you make an application, I think it should be no problem." Xiong Jianye blurted out.

Yes, it's indeed no problem. Don't think that only the Nejd people want to have a good relationship with the Lan Fang people. The Lan Fang people also want to have a good relationship with the Nejd people. The Lan Fang army also has a plan for this.
