Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 1211: Operation "Peaceful Ferry"

In the end, Suharto’s voice has changed. Yes, where did the Chinese get a large transport plane?

Others don’t know, but Suharto’s heart is clear. The ordinary planes in East Timor can’t land at all. This is not only because of the distance, but more importantly, the airport conditions.

Because of this, with the exception of military transport aircraft used for military purposes, there is no way to take off and land on the simple and crude field airport of East Timor.

What's more, not all types of military transport aircraft can land in that place. The strategic transport aircraft that are too big, such as C-5 and An-124, cannot land in that place. Nothing else, because of the airport runway. Too short, less than 1500 meters, the big guy that can easily reach two or three hundred tons may barely be able to land, but it will really be stretched if it takes off.

Too small, such as CN235, An-26, etc., can take off and land normally at Timor-Leste Airport, but the problem is that the range of this kind of light transport aircraft is too short, usually less than 2,000 kilometers; and the distance from China’s southernmost Qiongdao to Sanya The straight-line distance of East Timor is 3,500 kilometers. Even if the CN235 and An-26 light-duty transport fuselages are full of fuel tanks, it is estimated that they will not be able to fly.

Even if it can fly by 10,000 steps, the light transport aircraft with the space occupied by the fuel tank arrives in East Timor, and it is in an empty state with the cabin empty. There is no material at all. What use is there?

What's more, besides going, you have to come back. The field airport in East Timor has nothing but a runway that is temporarily flattened with sugar cane fields. If the fuel inside the landing aircraft is not enough, going down is equivalent to Obsolescence, because there really is no chance of taking off, it is no different from social death.

It is precisely knowing the harsh conditions in East Timor that Wahid and other Indonesian elites will unscrupulously instigate domestic nationalism. Anyway, distance plus conditions, various factors are superimposed, and there are not many countries that can reach out their tentacles. If you can go to Indonesia, just admit it and pretend you don’t know anything. Hello, I’m hello everyone. If you can’t reach it, I’m sorry. Either you take the money and I will help you protect your interests in Indonesia, or... Haha ...

And this is where Wahid, Sudator and others have the confidence to open their mouths to the lions in the negotiations with China, because they have calculated that there is no way to extend their tentacles to East Timor. If they want to protect local interests, they can only pay obediently. , Let things go, what else do you do, really watch the loss countless?

As a result, they were confidently playing eagle tactics with China. People have already dispatched a transport plane to East Timor, and it was not one, but four were dispatched directly.

I need to know that the aircraft that can meet the range, transportation, and landing conditions at the harsh airport can be an ordinary aircraft? This kind of large transport aircraft, which is between the heavy strategic transport aircraft and the medium tactical transport aircraft, has a blank existence in the world. How can China have it?

Suharto's head was so confused for a while that he was a little incoherent and didn't know what to say.

"What's the panic? It's not just four large transport planes. If a country as big as China can't even get this piece of belongings, you don't have to carry it in Wuchang, just give it to others."

Just as Suharto was confused and somewhat at a loss, Wahid, who was sitting at the dining table, suddenly spoke, then got up with a wine glass in one hand, walked in slowly, and immediately reached out to signal Suharto to handle it. The satellite phone was brought over, and Suharto passed the phone in his hand.

Wahid answered the phone and said very graciously: "It should be a Russian-made Il-76 transport aircraft? Although this aircraft is some years old, it must be said that the products of the former Soviet era are still very durable, otherwise we I would not choose the Russian-made Su-30 as Indonesia’s main air worries model for heavy fighters, but the IL-76 can meet the basic conditions for taking off and landing in East Timor, but it cannot fully utilize its advantages. After all... "

"No, Mr. Wahid, this time China is not sending the Il-76, but a brand new large transport aircraft, a large transport aircraft capable of carrying a medium-sized professional rescue helicopter!"

Before Wahid finished speaking carefully, the Indonesian official on the other end of the phone interrupted Wahid without hesitation.

Wahid was a little annoyed when he was interrupted for no reason. He was just about to reprimand the Indonesian officials who did not know what he was doing. But before he could say anything, he heard that the plane sent by China this time actually carried a medium-sized professional rescue helicopter. , Immediately narrowed his eyes, just like Suharto before, immediately surprised: "How is this possible..."

"I know that no one will believe it just by saying that. The hotel you live in should have external satellite TV receivers. Turn on the TV and watch it yourself. The Singapore National Television Station is broadcasting live." The Indonesian official on the other end of the phone seemed to say to Washi. De's reaction had been anticipated long ago. Before Wahid was surprised, he added anxiously, even after hanging up the phone.

Wahid was stunned for a while listening to the blind tone in the receiver, and then he yelled at Suharto, who was still stunned next to him, in a hurry, "What are you doing while standing stupid? Hurry up and turn on the TV. Singapore National Television."

Suharto woke up when he heard the words, hurried to the TV, pressed the switch, adjusted the channel, and soon the beaches of East Timor, sugar cane, hordes of refugees and the temporary flattened appeared on the screen. Sugar cane field.

"Anchor, I am now located in the field airport temporarily opened by the United Nations peacekeeping force in East Timor. Through the lens, we can see that a medium-sized special rescue helicopter painted with'China Takeoff·Rescue' has just flown back from the border between East Timor and Indonesia. The two Macau citizens who have just been rescued.

This helicopter was taken off by Qiongzhou Airlines TNB-18F cargo plane from Qiongzhou Sanya Phoenix Airport this morning, and arrived at East Timor Temporary Airport at 10 noon. Even after the rescue operation was launched, they belonged to the Air Rescue Service Team under the Ascendas Group and were the first in mainland China. A civilian professional air rescue team uses a Z-13 medium-sized special rescue helicopter produced by Ascendas Group. However, the Ascendas rescue team is also called ICU in the air..."

"Okay, thanks for the report sent back from the front by Zhuang Zhuang!" The frontline reporter of the Singapore National Television Station who is live on TV is preparing to continue to introduce the Z-13 medium-sized special rescue helicopter~lightnovelpub.net~ The anchor suddenly pinched. After the live broadcast signal was cut off, he quickly said to the camera: "Now we are connected to the Qiongzhou Sanya Phoenix Airport, where the CEO of the newly established Ascendas Group and the head of the Ascendas rescue team, Zhuang Jianye, is holding a press conference. Signal Ahead."

Before the voice was over, the phone screen turned, Zhuang Jianye, in a bright yellow rescue suit, stood on the press platform, pointed at the shining long guns and short cannons below, and the self-assured Zhuang Jianye tilted his body a little less seriously: "Madam Gentlemen, I announce at this moment that the "Peaceful Ferry" operation to rescue East Timorese refugees implemented by Ascendas Group and Qiongzhou Airlines has officially started..."

With that, Zhuang Jianye pressed the small remote control in his hand, and a red passport sample with the national emblem appeared on the giant screen beside him. Then Zhuang Jianye pointed to the screen beside him: "Did you see this? Our country’s passport is also the only credential recognized by our "Peaceful Ferry" operation. Holders of this passport, regardless of their hometown or descent, can enjoy the free service of our "Peaceful Ferry" operation..."

As soon as he said this, before the reporters on the TV reacted, Wahid shook his hand unconsciously outside the TV, and the glass containing the red wine fell to the ground with a sound, splashing red. ...
