Most of the capital city of the First Emirate is composed of low mud houses and thatched houses. The wealthy areas are full of buildings, and there is even a twelve-story building where all the administrative agencies of the emirate are located.
The entire wealthy area in the city center is surrounded by high walls, and the rich and powerful are clearly distinguished from the poor.
Shenyi originally agreed that the recruiting office for warriors should be located in a wealthy area, but the powerful people had strong objections and dared not speak out.
After all, if this is the case, robbers and gangsters can take the opportunity to enter the wealthy area. There are so many people coming in and out every day, turning the quiet and claustrophobic private community into a vegetable market.
However, under the instruction of His Excellency the Commander, the recruiting office was soon moved and four recruiting offices were set up, all on the outskirts of the city, one in the east, west, and south.
With machinery and materials transported from the railway, simple prefabricated houses were quickly built.
A simple military camp was built in the east of the city, and a 600-person air service battalion of the Griffin Regiment was stationed on the south side. It is equipped with forty helicopters, including twenty armed helicopters and twenty heavy transport aircraft. The heavy transport aircraft can not only It can transport special soldiers, rocket launchers, mortars and other personnel and light weapons and equipment, and can even lift tanks. However, since it is determined that the operation will be in the jungle, the tanks are naturally useless. For this operation, the air service battalion is mainly equipped with light equipment. , including firearms, I also chose a light assault rifle with a short range. In the jungle, a rifle with a long range is of little use.
On the north side of the simple military camp is the temporary dormitory area for the preliminary warriors.
The recruitment campaign will last for three months, but after three months, if warriors from extremely remote tribes in the jungle arrive belatedly, the green light will be given.
A few days after the completion of the simple military camp, His Excellency the Commander personally arrived in this city in the northwest of the jungle, causing a huge sensation.
…
Lu Ming frowned and paced slowly.
The helicopter sent out to survey the source of the Devil's River in the eastern part of the primeval forest has lost contact since yesterday, and has not been able to contact it until now. The probability of it crashing is very high.
The photos from high-altitude reconnaissance planes are so hazy that nothing can be seen at all.
However, the number of goat corpses floating downstream has been greatly reduced, and one can be found occasionally.
The virgin forest in the southern region is generally in the shape of a flat gourd. From north to south, it is three to four thousand kilometers long. The visible area of the continent is four to five hundred kilometers in the narrow area from east to west, and four to five thousand kilometers in the wider area. The total area can be seen With more than eight million square kilometers, it is probably the lungs of the earth in this world.
Further east, there should still be rainforest, but it is already an unpredictable place.
The Devil's River originates in the northeastern part of the jungle. From the topography, it is located at Hulukou. It flies from the edge of the jungle in the west. It is only more than 400 kilometers away from the source of the Devil's River. However, if it exceeds 600 kilometers, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft will disappear. This is a bloody lesson learned during the hot air balloon exploration.
I don’t know whether the helicopter flew over 600 kilometers into an unpredictable place, causing the machine to malfunction and crash, or whether it was the area, that is, the range of 400 kilometers to 600 kilometers. It is still possible to fly aircraft at high altitudes, but it is no longer possible at low altitudes.
This helicopter is performing a reconnaissance mission. It is lightly equipped and carries internal and external auxiliary fuel tanks. As long as there is a place to stop (stop) for self-service refueling, the range can reach more than 2,000 kilometers.
At more than 300 kilometers away, from the photos taken by high-altitude reconnaissance planes, we can see a small area where the helicopter can land to refuel and change the oil tank. Moreover, when changing the oil tank, he contacted the headquarters, indicating that the open space was not real even if he looked up close. The swampy area is indeed a small dry riverbed where the analysis can temporarily stop for refueling.
It's not that it didn't follow the planned path and didn't find the stopping place. As a result, it had no place to stop for refueling and had an accident when it made an emergency landing in the jungle.
On the side, Beckenbauer also gritted his teeth. After all, if the helicopter had really crashed, it would be his soldiers who would be sacrificed.
"Let's go over and take a look, you, me, and my guards." Lu Ming said suddenly.
Beckenbauer was startled and said hurriedly: "How can you go into danger? Your Excellency, wait until I contact my tribe and gather two or three friends, and we will go find out."
He is not reckless
The reckless person obviously felt that it was not safe for him to go alone. If he was in danger, he would not even have a helper, not even someone to come back to deliver a message if something happened.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "That's too slow. If our soldiers are still alive, going even an hour later may be the difference between life and death, let alone if you want to ask your tribe for help. The news comes back and forth. Once confirmed, People will come, at least the day after tomorrow, or even three or four days." After a pause, "Besides, among your tribe, none of the people who can help you do things for the military are as qualified as me for this time. Rescue and reconnaissance missions.”
"What you said makes sense, but please forgive me for being rude. For your safety, I will ask all helicopter camps to be on standby!" Beckenbauer answered decisively, and to take off the helicopter from the Griffin Regiment, he naturally needed to get off. Order.
Lu Ming said: "We will fly to the dry river bed of the transfer site, and then walk. The exploration area will be within a hundred kilometers of the transfer site." He gestured, "Get ready! I am sure of what I do." Shen Shen. Beckenbauer took a deep look and said, "Don't you believe me?"
Beckenbauer's eyes were a little dazed and he said, "I'm going to prepare."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Yes, I'll go prepare now!"
Obviously, the Commander has made up his mind on this matter and will not change it because of his own wishes. If he firmly refuses to agree, he may temporarily lose his mind and cooperate with the Commander. When the time comes, the Commander will not take him with him, so he will It was even more of a mess.
It's better to agree happily and prepare well in advance.
…
In front of the helicopter, Lu Ming led Danilova over.
Beckenbauer hurried up to meet them and reported the personnel and fuel he brought.
What he did was to prepare that the helicopter would not go deep into the helicopter. He used fuel and a safety margin, and carried it back and forth just enough to prevent the commander from having to fly deeper into the rainforest at the last minute.
Although there is a safety margin, the commander will not ignore the safety of the crew and insist on using the safety margin to increase the route distance.
In addition to Beckenbauer, the helicopter has three accompanying personnel, a pilot and two reconnaissance veterans. In fact, the two reconnaissance veterans also have extensive experience in stance helicopters.
After looking at Danilova, Beckenbauer was a little confused and then suddenly realized.
Lu Ming smiled: "She has an advantage over you and me in the jungle."
This is not a lie. Danilova is a powerful type with super strong melee ability. With the support of 24 shooters, the jungle terrain can give full play to their greatest advantage.
And there is another advantage. Danilova summons twenty-four shooters to fight, just like summoning puppets, and the young shooters do not need to follow her.
This saves a lot of space.
In addition, even if the archer puppet is completely destroyed during the battle, the little archer controlled by the puppet will not die, but the main body will also suffer a heavy blow and need to rest for a long time.
However, if Danilova is killed after summoning a puppet in battle, no matter whether the twenty-four puppets are slightly damaged, all of them will die, which is a true group destruction.
At this time, Lu Ming and Danilova boarded the helicopter, and Lu Ming also saw that many gryphon special soldiers in the military camp came out to watch from a distance.
Knowing that His Excellency the Commander personally went into danger for the safety of three of their ordinary soldiers, everyone felt very complicated.
It's not that I'm moved, it's more that I feel weird.
Lu Ming naturally understood their mood, and smiled at Beckenbauer beside him: "It seems that my overstepping of authority has had a serious impact on their morale. I will lecture them when I come back. It's not that they are useless, and it's not that I despise them." With their abilities, I will need their blood and sweat in the future, but this crisis is too unpredictable. It would be better for me to go there, not only to save people, but also to see more things from your and my perspective. , get more information."
Beckenbauer nodded slightly: "Yes, they will understand and will protect you more loyally, because not long ago, I also experienced the same mental journey."
Lu Ming looked at him deeply and said nothing.
