Chapter 65: Attention Required

The soldiers of Thunder International boarded the airship and headed to the base on Hainan Island. Although the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with an average altitude of 4,000 cannot be reached, it does not mean that the mountains of Gorkau cannot be reached.

They arrived at the Hainan Air Base with a large amount of combat materials, including ample fuel, ammunition, and rations, including combat equipment for winter and summer.

This is without mentioning the geography of Gurkor (Nepal).

Nepal is a landlocked mountainous country, located in the southern foothills of the middle Himalayas, bordering China's Tibet Autonomous Region in the north, surrounded by India in the east, west and south, with a total length of 2,400 kilometers. It is a rectangular country with a length of 885 km from east to west and between 145-241 km from south to north.

The country is divided into three climatic zones: the northern mountains, the central temperate zone and the southern subtropical zone. The minimum temperature in the cold season in the north is -41°C, and the maximum temperature in the summer in the south is 45°C. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and the relative height difference is rare in the world. Most of it is hilly, and half of the country's land is more than 1 km above sea level. Surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north, Nepal has been known as the "mountain country" since ancient times.

The southern part is an alluvial plain with fertile soil, dense forests and vast grasslands, making it an important economic region in Nepal. The central valley is hilly, and the capital Kathmandu is located in the Kathmandu valley. The majestic Himalayas block the cold and dry winds of the north, and the climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. In the northern mountainous region, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and the high mountains are covered with snow all year round, and grazing is only possible in summer.

From the above geographical situation, it is easy to deduce how complicated and arduous it is to resupply the troops of Thunder International, which is about to operate there.

Mountain warfare is also a new mode of warfare for China's Wehrmacht, which has been trained on the hilly battlefields of World War I in France. As a result, a considerable adjustment has been made to the entire armament.

Thunder International is an army between light infantry and armored infantry, and in the all-self-propelled army, for this operation, a mountain gun towed by a jeep was added based on the Japanese mountain cannon and redesigned and manufactured by combining the advantages of the French 75mm gun. This is a lightweight, easy to deploy and deploy howitzer.

It will form a supporting firepower with the 60, 82, and 120 mm mortars equipped with the infantry, and of course, as in the consistent operations of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the superiority of air power will inevitably be valued.

The brigade-level Thunder International Force has a tactical air force flying squadron composed of two squadrons of 120 "Saber ABZ", and if "necessary," they can at any time increase the assistance of "Meteor" medium bombers and "Flying Dysprosium" heavy air superiority fighters from Hainan Island.

It is believed that although the British fought to the death in the battle of Gurkha, they would not risk confronting the flying convoy of thousands of planes of the Chinese Air Force in Hainan, especially in Calcutta or other parts of India, all of which were within the range of long-range bombers equipped with aerial refueling devices.

In particular, the Chinese, who have completely gained air superiority, are likely to level all Indian cities with airships carrying large numbers of bombs to him, as they did in Japan.

It doesn't matter how big the loss of the city will be, and the dozens of hungry refugees in a city are a terrible thing, I believe it is a very terrible thing for any country or government, let alone in the Indian colony where the regime is not so stable.

The mercenaries of Thunder International carried huge backpacks, carried their M-2 assault rifles in their hands, or held "L general-purpose machine guns", and their families were from the place where they boarded the boat. After all, they, unlike the soldiers of the Chinese Defense Forces, do not have residential areas exclusive to the army.

It's just that everyone coincidentally bought in a community, and the families of the soldiers always lived together. But compared to the welfare of the Wehrmacht soldiers, the soldiers of Thunder International only have money, but in terms of life, most of this money is spent in the shopping malls of Qindao City.

The families of the soldiers held the small flags of Thunder International in their hands, and their eyes watched the figures of their loved ones board the airship. The young women wept tears along with the children.

On the other hand, what is not visible to the outside world is the military vehicles of Thunder International, jeeps, armored vehicles, and tanks, which enter the airships of China Airlines one by one.

At this moment, except for a few high-ranking officers of Thunder International and the personnel of the staff headquarters who had already arrived at the Hainan Air Base in advance, no one knew where their ultimate goal was. But it was enough to make nearby colonists, including the Philippines and Vietnam, nervous.

They all understand that now the Chinese side is launching a military operation, which is naked blackmail. At the very least, the Russian side has begun to come under increasing pressure, and the war with more and more troops and money has forced the European countries to devote more efforts to it, and as for the Asian side, they have to tolerate China's nonsense relatively speaking.

The eyes of the ambassadors of Britain, France, and the United States swept over the sad atmosphere of farewell at the airport from different angles, and then the three of them ran in three different directions.

They have to try to find out who Thunder International is hired by, what kind of plans are they going to have, and who is the other party they are fighting against?

Among them, the US ambassador directly approached Tang Yunyang, and according to their government's policy, China's affairs are decided by this person, and it is right to look for him.

The French government has relatively many channels, after all, in the city of Qindao, the number of French is quite large, and those people are some of Tang Yunyang's collaborators when he first ran his business in France. This includes De Lion and his son, and will also give their father and son considerable care in their domestic interests.

This is what businessmen are like, and they can tell others some rather secret things for the sake of profit.

"Ah, we can't say much about this kind of thing related to the armed conflict, but you must know that the French government's policy has always been hostile to Don, even because his business in France has been affected."

The French ambassador is now reluctant to confront a man like Michael. The old wolf, who often speaks loudly, doesn't like to face Li Shizeng or Gu Weijun, although they have been in Europe for a long time, but in their bones they all have a Yankee way of thinking.

The French minister de Claudel had some cheekbones that were red and bloodshot, and he couldn't help but blush, after all, the father and son had indeed suffered a lot of damage to their interests in France because of their relationship with Tang Yunyang.

"Mr. Emir, please trust our government, they will pay attention to the rights of every citizen, and I think that some of the losses suffered by those who have been wrongly treated, I will definitely get some kind of compensation!"

As a veteran politician of the emir. De Leon didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and he smiled generously.

"Oh, Mr. Minister, sometimes something happens that has already caused damage, especially emotional damage that is irreparable. I was disappointed, but I saw new hope when my career started again in the world's newest and most beautiful city. So our father and son are already discussing the matter of becoming a Chinese citizen, you know that to do business here, if you want not to be excluded, a Chinese nationality is a must. But if my former homeland is willing to apologize to us, mind you, an actual apology, then I may know something! ”

The French minister's heart was gloomy, this emir. De Lyan was once the most famous military critic and parliamentarian in France, and as a man who has been in politics for such a time, his departure from France may be a sign that France's former glory is gone. While sighing quietly in his heart, he expressed his gratitude to the father and son of Bileon.

"Thank you so much, very, very much, I think you'll get the apologies you deserve, and substantively!"

In this case, the emir. De Leon stopped talking, but tilted his head slightly, a haughty smile on his face.

"Please, Mr. Minister!"

Foster. De Leon respectfully guided the French Minister de Claudelis out of his father's office, and in the deserted corridor he whispered the following things that might have cost him his head.

"Actually, we are just speculating on some uncertain news about the development of some other things, based on the oil purchased by Thunder International with a loan from us, and the benefits obtained, as an investment, we have to review their goals, of course, it will not be so clear, just one prediction. Please trust the analysis of our company's professional investment staff, I am afraid that the target will not be Vietnam! ”

At this time, the French minister, who was well aware of the relationship between the father and son and Tang Yunyang, was relieved, especially he was very satisfied with the father and son's move of giving the goods first and then collecting the money, and at the same time planned to send a telegram to the French government as soon as he returned to the embassy, asking them to re-attach importance to the role of the father and son, especially when they were likely to show their skills in China's political arena in the future.

At this moment, like him, the American minister is also returning to the embassy with a relaxed body, and he also needs to send a telegram, because China will announce the establishment of the Chinese Federation on May 1, and at the same time announce the beginning of China's first general election, which is obviously a matter that requires a large delegation from the United States.

And the British, who may obviously have something to do with them, have completely abandoned their plans to establish a west, after all, although they can threaten China to some extent, India is the colony that Britain must secure, and Tibet is not.

At the same moment, Tang Yunyang received a call from someone.

"Mr. Tang, I have already sent that guy away according to your orders!"

Tang Yunyang's performance was relatively respectful.

"Yes, thank you very much for your help!"
