Now, the Air Force is not yet exposed to the eyes of the world, the sky is unfamiliar to everyone, no one will raise the elevation angle of the heavy crossbow to that high, in other words, the Air Force will not be threatened by ground attacks for the time being or is very small, but in the future, other countries will definitely manufacture air defense weapons against the Air Force in the future, if it is so reckless at that time, it will be easily destroyed by ground fire, good habits should be cultivated from the beginning.

Chang Xun also had excellent points in this exercise, such as air replenishment, which was not only stable but also fast enough, and the hatches on both sides were replenished at the same time, which only took half of Yuan Fang's time.

Yuan Fang thought about this method, but because it was the first time to practice, he didn't dare to try rashly, with Chang Xun's successful case, the future air supply can be carried out in multiple directions at the same time, greatly improving the supply speed and saving time.

Others, the piloting of the fog balloon and the reconnaissance dinghy also have such and such problems, but the problem is not big, a little improvement can be done, and most of these mistakes are caused by tension, I believe that with the passage of time, these small mistakes will disappear.

In the next three days, the trainees practiced during the day and learned theories at night, and the driving level and the cooperation between the team became more and more tacit, and all the trainees took turns to practice in various positions to ensure that the knowledge mastered was rich and comprehensive.

In the next few days, the theoretical classes were suspended, whether it was day or night, all were changed to practical operations, and began to do full-time training in fixed positions, and at the same time, according to Yuan Fang's requirements, he also cooperated with the navy reconnaissance boat to carry out daily patrols and monitor the surrounding 100-mile sea area.

On this day, there were still three days left before the meeting with the Hengsha pirates of Changhuan Island, Situ Muran hurriedly ran over, saying that the reconnaissance boat had found the merchant ship of the Liusang Empire in the southwest direction, and sailed along the main channel in the direction of Linhai County in Gushui County, about two hours through the vertical intersection of the Emerald Island and the main channel.

Situ Muran felt that this merchant ship was very suspicious, if it was before, he would never say so, the two countries have been in trade for many years, and it is normal for merchant ships to go back and forth, but now it is different, since the war between the two countries, the business exchanges between the two sides have become less and less, especially after the army of the Liusang Empire was driven out of Nanzhou last time, the merchant ships of Liusang have never come to the Dongsheng Empire, and the appearance of this merchant ship is at this sensitive time, just like Situ Muran said It is very suspicious, very suspicious. found Yuqing and Chang Xun, and after discussion, they decided to attack, no matter what, they were detained first, even if the other party was really just a merchant ship, they had to dig out some useful information from the mouths of these merchants, at this time, there was no longer too much to manage.

After receiving the order, the air force and navy attacked, and Situ Muran personally commanded it. This time, the navy dispatched a large warship and two medium-sized warships, and the air force dispatched a mixed team, including one airship, five fog balloons, and two reconnaissance boats.

The mission went well, and a few hours later, a different merchant ship was carried back to the Emerald Isle by the Navy's warship, and the crew of the ship was escorted ashore by the Navy in a dinghy and separated from the prison in a makeshift prison.

The so-called prison is actually a confinement for soldiers, there are so many people on the island, from different units, there will always be some people who make trouble, this is the place where these people are punished, and now, it has become a temporary residence for the merchants of Liusang.

Torture and obtaining intelligence, these are not Yuan Fang's specialties, and Chang Xun is the same for this, so this task fell on Situ Muran, Yuan Fang only sent Guan Xiaoyun over to jury, and at the same time, Yu Jingqiu and Huo Bingyan followed the navy to board the Liusang cargo ship and inspect the goods on board.

About an hour later, Yu Jingqiu and Huo Bingyan came back, there was no problem with the goods on the merchant ship, mainly washi paper, and some other specialties, no heavy weapons and dangerous goods.

And paper, this is a good thing, Yuan Fang saw it when he was in the imperial capital, this kind of paper is much better than that of the Eastern Saint Empire, the fiber is long, the texture is thin, but it is tougher, and the life is longer, and the feel is also very good, but the output is less, so the price is high.

Yuan Fang doesn't like to dance and ink, and he is so interested in washi because when penicillin is purified, the effect of washi is better.

Yuan Fangzheng was thinking about how to embezzle these washi papers, Situ Muran sent the news, those merchants' mouths were very hard, but they were still pried open by him, most of these people are businessmen, there are a few, this is a spy mixed in it, through interrogation, Situ Muran did not get too much information, but from the other party's words to get a very certain news, the harbor of the Liusang Empire has been very lively recently, there are a large number of troops stationed, I heard the businessman say, the warships in the military port have increased by more than a dozen, and they are all large warships.

This news is very important, although I don't know when the Liusang Empire will send troops, but if it is determined that the other party has plans in this regard, Yuan Fang did not come in vain.

The two countries are at war, the situation is like fire and water, but the people are innocent, these businessmen should be forced to helpless, but it is still intolerable, Yuan Fang intends to use this as an excuse to buy this batch of paper at a third or lower price, but Situ Muran did not agree, his opinion is that since he is involved in espionage, it is against the laws of the empire, and he has the right to sanction according to law, as for what law Situ Muran did not say, everyone knows it, and the final result is that Yuan Fang did not spend a penny, All the washi paper fell into the imperial cyst, and the merchant ships were also co-opted by the navy and converted to be used as supply ships, and as for those merchants, whether they were forced or not, they were to be held accountable for their actions, and they would spend the next few years in prison.

This kind of punishment Yuan Fang felt a bit heavy, Situ Muran was just the opposite, according to his words, it was cheap enough for them to save their lives.

In the next two days, the days returned to calm, the husbands worked hard to build the island base, the soldiers performed their duties, and the training of the air force continued, but the difference from the previous one was that the two days of joint training by the air and navy were sea take-off and landing, emergency lift-off, landing on the march, etc., this is the air-sea joint combat formation expected by Yuan Fang.

Situ Muran was very puzzled by this, since the fog balloon and the airship had the ability to cruise for a long time, why did Yuan Fang insist on changing the front deck of the warship to the tarmac, which was so troublesome and a waste of time. But he forgot that the fog balloon and the airship were not warships, and they were very constrained by the environment.
