Commander Qian, who had arrived in Kunming in advance, had roughly guessed that Zhou Wen had stolen or robbed a plane and came back, but he still felt a little weird when he received the telegram from Zhou Wen from the plane.
He knew that with Zhou Wen's ability, it might not be difficult to rob a plane, but how do you rob a pilot? Are you forcing someone to fly a plane at gunpoint? Isn't this too childish?
Chief Qian knew that the flight from Siam to Kunming was 1,500 kilometers. At the current speed of the aircraft, which is about 200 kilometers per hour, it would take at least five or six hours. How can you safely put your life in the hands of strangers who are being coerced by you for such a long time.
Of course, although Zhou Wen's message didn't go into detail, he knew Zhou Wen's character, and he guessed that Zhou Wen must have some way to make people willing to be driven by him, but he just couldn't think of it.
Then, in accordance with the agreement to contact each other by telegram every hour, at 10 o'clock in the morning on February 14, Chief Qian and a group of entourage arrived at Wujiaba Airport in Kunming to wait for Zhou Wen's plane.
In the Republic of China, the Yunnan Army Air Force was established earlier than the "Central Air Force" of the National Government.
After the establishment of this aviation force, although the organization and name have been changed many times, and the officials in charge have been replaced like a revolving door, the scale has always been small. The reason is that during the rule of several warlords in Yunnan, civil wars were frequent, military deployments were used year after year, and the financial deficit was very large. It is too large and unable to purchase large quantities of aircraft to expand its air force.
Therefore, in more than ten years, the Yunnan authorities have only ordered a few batches of training aircraft in small quantities from France and the United States for training and teaching purposes. Up to now, there are only a dozen aircraft, and most of them are trainer aircraft.
Wujiaba Airport in Kunming is the base camp of the Yunnan Army Air Force.
Wujiaba Airport was founded in 1922 and is the second airport in China's aviation history, second only to Beijing Nanyuan Airport built in 1910.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Wujiaba Airport had an important historical status and high international reputation as the main base and headquarters of the American Flying Tigers and the terminal station of the Hump Route.
At present, radio voice communication technology is not perfect, so the connection between aircraft and land can only be through radio stations.
At this time, several cars and a truck were parked next to the gravel runway. Several officers wearing blue and green uniforms of the Yunnan Army were chatting with Chief Qian. After a while, a signal soldier came from the tower to report the current position of the aircraft.
After receiving another report from the signal corps, Chief Qian waved to a car not far away.
A young woman wearing a light yellow woolen coat got out of the car. Even wearing a winter coat could not conceal her slim figure and graceful temperament.
This woman is Zhou Wen's fiancée Liu Ruolan.
Chief Qian, the eldest brother, is very attentive. He knew that Liu Ruolan would be worried about Zhou Wen going to a foreign country to carry out such a difficult and dangerous task before his wedding. He thought that since he was just flying to Kunming to pick up people, it wouldn't be a big deal if there were more than one person. Just before departure, someone notified Liu Ruolan.
There is no reason why Liu Ruolan wouldn't want to. Being able to welcome her man back victorious at the airport is the most longing and happiest thing for every woman in love.
But Liu Ruolan kept a low profile after arriving in Kunming and had no intention of socializing with the Yunnan officialdom, so she just stayed in the car at the airport and waited quietly for Zhou Wen's return.
Liu Ruolan came to Chief Qian amidst the surprised looks of several Yunnan Army officers.
"Brothers and sisters, I just received the telegram. Their plane is arriving in Kunming soon. I guess you can see it soon." Chief Qian knew that Liu Ruolan didn't like to socialize, so he didn't introduce the officers around her to her.
At this time, Liu Ruolan didn't want to be as calm as she was on the outside. She was excited and anxious inside, just like a wife looking forward to and waiting for her long-separated husband to return from the battlefield.
Maybe it's because the two of you are getting married soon, or maybe Zhou Wen is going to a strange country to perform a mission this time. This feeling of urgency to see Zhou Wen is much stronger than during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and you are much more worried inside.
"It's coming, have you seen it?" someone shouted.
Liu Ruolan followed the direction directed by Chief Qian, set up a pergola and looked into the sky.
Sure enough, I saw a silver-gray plane coming from a distance.
Perhaps because it was necessary to determine the direction of the airport and the location of the runway, the plane did not land immediately. Instead, it flew around the airport twice before lowering its nose and slowly descending toward the runway.
After the plane stopped steadily on the runway, Zhou Wen shook hands with Sukrava and Pachat in the cockpit to celebrate, smiled and said loudly: "Thank you, two officers, your excellent and superb flying skills are amazing." I am impressed. In addition, welcome to China, I think you will soon fall in love with this beautiful land."
After finishing speaking, he reminded the slightly pale Patchat: "Your wound is bleeding again. Don't move yet. It's better to go down on a stretcher."
The Miaohua people in the cabin also clapped their hands to celebrate. You know, except for Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping, everyone else was flying for the first time. The experience during takeoff was not very good, but when we landed, everyone's hearts were raised high. Falling from such a high altitude, a slight mistake will result in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of people. Even the masters of Qi Jin realm cannot be as calm as water.
Liu Ruolan followed Chief Qian quickly towards the plane parked not far away. She had no intention of observing the majestic appearance of the plane. She just stared at the position of the cabin door without blinking.
Not long after, she saw the cabin door being opened, and a big, tiger-headed head poked out. It was Xu Dacheng, the slutty guy.
As soon as he saw Chief Qian and Liu Ruolan, he immediately grinned and waved.
As everyone jumped off the hatch one after another, knowing that Zhou Wen had returned safely, but before seeing Zhou Wen, Liu Ruolan still couldn't stop her heart from beating wildly.
Especially when she saw Miaohua and Zhao Xiaojin carrying a stretcher down, she felt even more panicked, wondering if Zhou Wen was injured.
Fortunately, she soon saw the familiar face that she had been thinking about day and night.
Zhou Wen was the last one to jump out of the hatch. After seeing Liu Ruolan's beautiful and fair face, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled happily.
He probably didn't expect that Brother Qian would bring Liu Ruolan over, and a warm current suddenly rose in his heart.
Brother Qian is interesting enough, and Ruolan's arrival is even more surprising.
Of course, he also saw a few officers of the Yunnan Army present, so he jogged a few steps towards Commander Qian, stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the commander, I have returned from my humble duty and have completed my mission. Please give me the commander's instructions."
Miaohua and others also put down the stretcher and lined up behind Zhou Wen to salute.
