"Those **** Yue people are asking for prices." Bai Rui scolded angrily.

"Sir, this is also a time when there is no alternative. At this time, our situation is a bit bad. If those people from the Yue family see that there is a situation, they will definitely want to ask for more. Moreover, they have given us the land, and we can only accept it. , They will not stay on this land for a long time. I heard that their small group of troops has already occupied a certain stronghold on the Indian land in the south, and then this stronghold is actively gathering forces, waiting for their As soon as the troops were in place, they began to move south quickly, so now they are not very dependent on us. On the contrary, we have set up a rear base for them, because our Qin country needs such a place too much." Explained aside.

"Yeah." Bai Rui nodded, and after some negotiations with the Yue people, they still failed to reach the request of sending troops, because the requirements put forward by the Yue people are very demanding, and the people who do not fall to the Qin country need to give 10,000 flintlocks. The gun, one million rounds, and a gift of twelve artillery pieces, 600 rounds. Although these weapons are nothing, it is difficult to guarantee that Yueshi will continue to speak. Moreover, this is still a tribe. The conditions of other tribes will only increase and not decrease, because they are sure that the people of Qin will give such conditions. But Bai Rui believed that by doing so, Qin's interests would have been lost too much. These weapons are all backward weapons, but they are huge in quantity and costly for transportation. Moreover, if the military does this, it will impact the civilian arms merchant market in Qin. This is absolutely not allowed by merchants. I am not afraid of anything, I am afraid of it. Therefore, it affects the arms trade of the entire Qin State. He pondered over and over again and never agreed to the Yue's request. Since he couldn't get the support of the Yue's, then he had to find a solution. How to solve it. Bai Rui decided to hand over the task to the 17th Airship Brigade. Seventh Squadron.

"Sir, the engine of the Flying Brick is not working. The engine must be replaced. The sand here is too harmful to the engine, plus the previous improper maintenance, it won't work." The mechanical sergeant Li Pu came over and reported helplessly.

"Damn, my squadron has only four airships. One of them is out of order, and the spare parts have been removed to repair the other three airships. Now, one of my airships has stopped again because of an engine problem. Such a one Come, my flying squadron has become a squad. My tiger squadron has become a tiger squad." Meng Hu said with great dissatisfaction. Tiger Squadron is a brand new squadron whose mission is mainly battlefield reconnaissance. For such a squadron, the above is deliberately experimented because they are equipped with two small airships. The airship is only ten feet in length and has a flying radius of five hundred miles. This radius is very suitable for reconnaissance in the tactical sense. The most important thing is that it can carry various external accessories, but this is only an experimental unit.

"But, sir, there is no way. A lot of things need to be transported from the rear. Now the transportation is very tight, and the aviation equipment needs a lot of places, as you can see. It took a long time for this airship to dock. It was given to us." Li Pu explained helplessly.

"Okay. Okay. I will find a way. We must conduct aerial reconnaissance, drop bombs, or give them some military material support." Meng Hu said. The orders given to him above were very severe and urged repeatedly. Now he has to take off as quickly as possible. Only in this way can he completely solve all the problems.

"The other two ships, can you guarantee it's okay?" Meng Hu decided not to dwell on this issue anymore. Many places in the air base fail to meet the requirements, especially the mountainous terrain here. The airship must fly higher. Only in this way can it fly over the top of the mountain. But politely, after flying over the top of the mountain, there is not much distance from the top of the mountain. In the valley, the wind direction is extremely complicated, and many places are unfavorable, which makes him have to consider these issues. What he needs now is to try, and if he can't do it, he will report.

"It's okay, sir, I use my life as a guarantee." Li Pu made a vow.

"Okay. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine." Meng Hu said.

"We will act in a while. Get ready." Meng Hu said.

"Okay." Li Pu nodded and said. He is responsible for the mechanical aspects. The only power of the airship is the engine, but Qin’s engine is still not enough. It is mainly related to some oil products. Generally, the refined gasoline is unleaded, and this kind of fuel will affect the starting cylinder. Explosion occurs. Over time, many airship engines will be scrapped. Most of Qin’s airships are scrapped in this way, but if leaded gasoline is used, this problem can be solved. However, the promotion of leaded gasoline is limited, especially some monopolistic fuel companies, they intend to increase the value of fuel. . And this formula patent is protected by the Patent Act. The military can only purchase at high prices, and some military units can only use unleaded fuel in order to save money. So there is such a thing.

"This task, I know that there are great difficulties, but we must do this. Only by solving such difficulties can we solve more other problems." Meng Hu said.

"Sir." The flying corporal asked, raising his hand.

"Sir, have you measured the height of which mountains?" the flying corporal asked.

"No, but at least they are all at a level of about a thousand feet high. I think you all understand what I mean. That is to say, our airship flew to a high place, but it was just beyond the top of the mountain. Now." Meng Hu took a breath and said.

"Most of the time we can't fly on the top of the mountain, sometimes we may fly in the valley. In this way, the problem will be very big. The wind direction, the wind direction in the valley is extremely complicated. We are an airship, so we must let Our engine has failed missions." Meng Hu said.

"Sir, personally, I am a little worried about such a task." Flight Corporal Mu Jie said.

"We have never flown in such a terrain, and, what you said is very correct. I am worried that the engine will not be able to withstand it. If the engine breaks down, the airship will be in an uncontrolled state. There are mountains all around, so it is easy for us. Something happened." Mu Jie raised her hand and said. Regarding this kind of worry, he had always had this worry when they entered the place. Now his chief has explained this factor, and he hopes his chief can take note of this. Their airship is a small airship, it is impossible to equip two engines, if equipped with two engines, their load capacity will drop a lot, which does not meet the requirements. So they only equipped with one engine. Once the engine fails, they really can't fly back. When they got this kind of airship, many people automatically withdrew from the squadron because the single-engine airship was very unsafe.

"Well, we can only let the heavens decide our situation. It needs an airship air support operation too much above." Meng Hu said.

Mu Jie said no more. He knew this was the result of pressure from above.

The flight started soon. Two airships. "Walnut", this is Mu Jie's airship. He is the pilot of the airship. Private Anping pilots him and serves as the co-pilot. Flying in front of him was the "Tiger", piloted by the longboat Meng Hu, the captain of their squadron, and the co-pilot was Corporal Gaotu. More experience.

On the "Walnut".

"Sir, can our mission be completed this time?" Second-class soldier Anping asked.

"I don't know, but I think that this matter may be completed, but I am still a little worried that this kind of thing happened too much." Mu Jie said, worried about the engine.

"You have seen it too. When we usually fly, the engine will not run for a long time with high horsepower. In this way, the problem of cylinder explosion will be solved very well. However, if there is a problem, we can only move with the wind. The ghost knows where to take us." Mu Jie said on the airship. They followed the "Tiger" at a certain distance.

Bai Kui is on the ground.

"Shoot. Shoot." Bai Kui shouted loudly. But instead of pulling the trigger, he took a binoculars and looked at the situation in the distance. After another harassment, the Tocharians decided to launch an offensive tentatively. The scale of this attack was small, but the Tocharians were very clever. They dispersed the formation and were no longer dense. The offensive formation is neat, but such an attack formation is difficult to form combat effectiveness. The officer needs to shuttle and pull the soldiers forward, but many soldiers do not move forward in hiding, and the Western Regions can only shoot their opponents at a long distance. Further wasted the bullets of the Western Regions.

"Sir, we should let the enemy advance a certain distance, put them within fifty steps of their distance, and then fire." Yu Hua ran over and suggested to his officer. He found that with such constant fire and shooting, few enemies were shot, because the Tocharians were hiding. On the contrary, the bullet consumption of their own people keeps increasing, which is very uneconomical for them.

"Okay. Listen to you, our ammunition can't be wasted like this. Let our people shoot with precision and give him some pressure." Bai Kui ordered.

"Stop shooting, stop shooting. Stop shooting." Yu Hua commanded loudly.

Soon the gunfire gradually subsided. But many people began to look towards the sky at this time. Because they saw airships appear in the sky. The people of the Western Regions have seen it, but the Tocharians have not.

"Haha. Great. Our airship has arrived. Let the soldiers cheer." Bai Kui was the first to jump out and shout loudly after seeing it.
