In order to maintain the early warning system of the entire Southern Alliance, and also to commend the Pygmies, Fang and other jungle tribes for their contributions to this war, Zhou Jiping equipped the tribes living on the eastern coast with guns and communication equipment every ten
For many years, dedicated personnel have been delivering rechargeable batteries for individual soldiers to these tribes, thus achieving a communication system that covers almost the entire Imara grassland.
The report sent this time about the discovery of two giant dragonflies was sent by the Pygmy tribe. Unfortunately, the Pygmy people had never seen a helicopter, so they could only use huge, rumbling helicopters.
“dragonfly” to describe what they saw
After receiving this news, Zhou Jiping immediately guessed that these two dragonflies were helicopters. However, where did the two "dragonflies" flying from east to west come from, and what were they carrying?
He can't know
Due to doubts about the current security of the individual radio station and the confidentiality of Mountbatten's cooperation with the Southern Alliance, Soyo did not establish direct communication with Mountbatten. However, after comprehensively considering the current situation, Zhou Jiping judged that this
The two helicopters should not belong to all the forces currently in Montaya.
In Muntaya, the forces with aircraft are Masuari and Makunda. Masuari is too busy to take care of himself right now. Of course, he will not fly two helicopters to provoke Soyo, and Makunda will not take the risk at this time.
Using armed force at risk of gunfire
Not only that, Zhou Jiping always felt that the origin of these two helicopters was a bit extraordinary, because this season in Montaya is rainy and thunderous, which is especially obvious in the eastern coastal areas. Even if it occasionally stops raining, the stopping time is relatively short.
I'm afraid it would be difficult for an average pilot to perform the mission in this short period of time. After all, this kind of all-weather flight requires very high pilot skills. Perhaps the person who owns these two planes has accurate knowledge of the weather along the coast of Montaya.
The forecasting ability can accurately schedule the take-off and landing times of aircraft.
In line with the principle of being prepared, Zhou Jiping immediately asked Francois to come to his post and use radar to launch a search of the airspace around Soyo. However, due to the mountains in the east and the limited power of Francois's two radars, the search could last only one day.
After coming down, not even a bird was found. Zhou Jiping had no choice but to arrange for Francois to send someone to be on duty 24 hours a day in case of emergencies.
However, Francois was a little indifferent to Zhou Jiping's request. He always thought that the two so-called helicopters were exercises directed by Zhou Jiping and did not exist at all. In desperation, Zhou Jiping had no choice but to accompany him again.
The good words and the relationship were finally exchanged for Francois' reluctant 24-hour surveillance.
One day passed, and the report of the two dragonflies fell into the sea. There was no feedback. Even the Pygmies, Fang and other small tribes in the east received no more information. It seemed as if this incident had never happened.
If it weren't for the fact that Pygmy Chief Mado had repeatedly confirmed that it was two "dragonflies" flying from east to west, one behind the other, Zhou Jiping would really have thought that this was just a helicopter passing by a certain country's navy and mistakenly entered Muntaya's airspace.
It was only when it was getting dark the next night that Laisi, who was responsible for external liaison, received the news: at noon tomorrow, a representative of a large company would come to negotiate the repatriation of foreigners who were mistakenly captured during the war.
After getting this news, Zhou Jiping once again confirmed with the company through Laisi. The result was that the company would only send one plane, and it had never been close to Montaya's airspace before. At the same time, this company
The company also submitted a pilot request to Soyo
It is ridiculous to say that although Soyo has the ability to shoot down helicopters, it does not have the ability to pilot. Fortunately, the airport set up by the Northern Army on the other side of the Soyo River is still there, and the personnel and equipment related to the airport are also controlled by the Free Army.
After receiving the pilot's request, Zhou Jiping would arrange for these people to resume work.
Hearing that a helicopter was really coming, Francois had nothing to say this time. In line with the principle of just in case, the eagle eye began to patrol the sky of Soyo again, and the heavy gun barrels of Metal Storm also appeared again.
The only difference between the sky pointed at Soyo and before the war is that this time Metal Storm is on duty without ammunition. Only when an accident is confirmed, the gunner who has received the order will load live ammunition.
On the morning of the third day, a helicopter appeared on time over the Imara grassland. Both the radar of Soyo Airport and the Soyo air defense radar detected it.
Near noon, a medium-sized transport plane landed slowly at Soyo Airport. For safety reasons, Zhou Jiping did not go to Soyo Airport to greet the guests. He only sent Elder Musoma and Zube to pick him up. The plane only brought four people.
passengers, headed by a negotiator named Anderson
Only four people came, why did they come on a medium-sized plane? Isn't this too luxurious? Elder Musoma also expressed doubts about this. But then, Mr. Anderson's words dispelled people's doubts. The plane was loaded on
A batch of condolences and gifts arrived. The condolences were intended for those foreigners, and the gifts were a reward for the Confederacy's protection of those foreigners.
Everything seemed normal, but Anderson first met with Elders Zhou Jiping and Jiwayo, and apologized for these foreigners who mistakenly entered the Confederacy. Then he expressed his deep gratitude to the Confederacy for taking care of these foreigners, and at the same time, he respectfully handed over the gift.
Gifts to the Confederacy: These gifts include: hundreds of kilograms of medicines suitable for common grassland diseases, a batch of exquisite and practical tableware, and some famous wines from Europe - in short, they are all very practical things.
For the grassland tribes, these things are the most practical and useful gifts. Guests who give these things will undoubtedly easily win the favor of the tribesmen.
Next, under Zhou Jiping's arrangement, Anderson met with the foreigners temporarily living in Soyo one by one, and sent condolences to each of them. Perhaps due to differences in cultural traditions, Anderson could only interview these people one by one.
people, and then delivered the items given to them by their guests, and then told their family members one by one. By the time they finished doing this, it was already dark, and Anderson and his party had to stay in Soyo.
According to Anderson, because the families of these foreigners miss their loved ones very much, his company arranged for him to take the liberty of visiting. The next day, Anderson's entourage will also take photos and videos of these foreigners one by one, and the relevant information will be
