"Long live our Emperor! Colonel Mager! Nice to see you again." On a busy construction site, an officer stood at attention and saluted, saying to his boss who was wearing an Air Force uniform and the latest sunglasses on his face.
"Long live my emperor! How are you? Are you ready?" Mager took off her sunglasses and asked after returning a military salute.
"We just cleared the runway yesterday and repaired it. There are still some areas there that have not been completely cleaned up, but they are ready for receiving passengers." The officer smiled and reported his results to his superiors.
He has been busy here for several days, and of course he has made some achievements. The engineers of the Mirage Kingdom have been repairing it for two days, and now they have been repairing it for more than ten days. Of course, this airport is ready for use.
The efficiency of the Tang Empire's industrial machinery was unmatched by manpower, but it did take a lot of time to repair the airport: after all, it needed to be transformed, so many projects had to be completed at the same time during the repair.
For example, they want to build an oil storage depot on one side of the airport runway, an underground oil depot, supporting explosion-proof measures, awnings and other things.
On the other side, there is a large power generating unit. The infrastructure of the Mirage is really poor. This airport is not connected to the power plant on the island, so the Tang Air Force can only generate its own electricity.
In addition to power generation and oil storage, a maintenance plant will be added here to repair malfunctioning fighter jets.
On the other side, a large group of Mirage prisoners of war were busy. They were ordered to build a large camp, including dozens of rows of houses, dormitories and canteens specifically for pilots, as well as conference rooms and auditoriums...
Anyway, the amount of work is very large. In order to put this place into use as soon as possible, the engineers of the Tang State also brought in more than 10,000 additional Mirage prisoners.
Under the "persuasion" of bullets and bread, these mirage prisoners completed their work honestly. Of course, being able to complete the work so quickly was also thanks to the abundance of materials.
The wood can be obtained locally, and the cables and other equipment are all finished products shipped directly from the Tang Dynasty. With the support of these materials, Tang Guo's airport repair speed was really amazing.
Quick-drying cement became a big star, and it easily filled up the deep craters created by hundreds of cluster bombs on the airport runway.
The Tang State also reinforced the runway with asphalt. These things were all shipped directly from the Tang State. Although they were expensive, the effect was truly outstanding.
"Accepting customers? Can you be more serious?" Mager cursed with a smile. Apparently, he didn't mind his subordinates using some irregular vocabulary to make fun of their work.
"Sorry, sir! There are no women here at all, so everyone couldn't help but make fun of her." The officer shrugged his shoulders and didn't have a good impression of this place.
They came all the way, and the goblin women here turned out to be a nightmare. No one wants to spend the night with a woman who is less than 1.4 meters tall and looks like a monster.
Therefore, all the soldiers of the Tang Army who came to fight here kept themselves clean. Most of them gathered those ugly goblin women together and asked them to help wash their uniforms.
"You kid!" Mager pointed at the other party, then squinted her eyes and looked at the sky: "The weather is so good, they will arrive in about half an hour, and we finally don't have to wait for the navy's junk."
"Isn't that right? I've been always anxious lately, anxious to show those people the new toys of our Air Force! Hehehehe, to be honest, I'm afraid that just hearing the sound will scare the pee out of those goblin scouts." The officer's face was full of pride when he mentioned this matter.
Not just any country in the world is equipped with jet fighters. Tang's fighter jets can break the sound barrier and fight those poor Zero fighter jets. It's like a martial arts master killing a baby drinking milk.
Their airport is the farthest away from Mirage New Island and is considered to be the safest, so it was transformed into a jet fighter base with the most complete and best facilities. There are ammunition depots, barracks and dormitories, radar stations and high-frequency communication devices.
The open space in the distance was filled with all kinds of cars, trucks, jeeps, armored vehicles and other special engineering vehicles.
Further away, some facilities have not been completely repaired. It is still a construction site, and the goblin prisoners of war are busy working with the engineers of the Tang Army.
After the greetings were finished, the conversation between the two got down to business. Looking back from the sky, Mager confirmed with a serious face: "Are the ground staff ready?"
"Yes! Sir, the ground crew is ready." The officer proudly answered his superior's question.
"Where are the spare parts?" Mager continued to ask. If the jet fighter can continue to fight, a good supply of spare parts is a prerequisite.
The other party still replied very confidently: "We have prepared 100 sets of the most easily damaged spare parts, as well as ten complete jet engines..."
"How is the quality of the fuel?" Mager continued to ask. As the future chief of staff of the frontline air force, he must ask all the details clearly.
"It's all shipped from the mainland, don't worry." The officer still didn't hesitate at all. He had done his job very well. The leader's question was giving him an opportunity to show off his work.
"Ammunition?" Mager continued to ask questions quickly without any intention of stopping.
The officer did not pause and continued to answer the leader's question fluently: "Our ammunition ship has priority in unloading. More than half of it has been sent to the nearby ammunition depot, and the other half is almost on the beach next to the floating dock. On the road Maybe a little more.”
Frankly speaking, there are still many complaints about the Air Force's priority in unloading cargo on the beach. Feng Kezhi's attack on the Great South Bay is progressing slowly, largely because most of the 9th Army's troops and heavy equipment are still at sea. It's floating.
However, the General Staff of the Tang Empire still insisted on giving priority to air force equipment to land ashore. This was partly because the air force needed time to deploy, and partly because Loew was eager to free the navy to do other things.
No matter how you say it, it is a dangerous thing for all the navy's aircraft carriers to gather in the waters of the Mirage State. The Tang State has thousands of miles of sea territory that needs to be protected, and countless transportation lines must be guarded. In this case, it is obviously necessary for the Air Force to take over the air supremacy over the South Island.
"The signal tower of the headquarters?" Mager continued to ask the other party. Although he had already seen the conspicuous antennas, he still asked.
"It was tested three hours ago and is in good condition." The officer continued to answer seriously. He tested it himself and the signal was very clear.
Frankly speaking, there has never been an opponent capable of interfering with the Tang Empire's communication equipment. In the electromagnetic field, the Datang Empire's technology allows them to easily ensure the smooth flow of their communications.
As for whether the electromagnetic environment will be complicated and the other party's communication will be interfered to a certain extent, only God knows.
"Warning radar?" Mager asked again, he could hardly hide his smile. He was very satisfied with these men. They repaired and renovated an airport in more than ten days. This was simply an engineering miracle.
His subordinates still lived up to his expectations and continued to answer: "We started the experiment yesterday and the signal is clear."
"Food?" As if to make things difficult, Ma Geer seemed not to stop until she asked a question.
His men also became a little nervous. Although he did prepare a big meal to welcome the air force pilots, he was already afraid of being asked some questions: "Seafood dinner with jam bread and beef pie." , the soup is cabbage ball soup.”
"No dessert prepared?" Sure enough, it seemed that Magell had caught the flaw.
The officer swallowed and added, "Yes, we got some ice cream from the Navy."
"Is there any wine?" Mager suddenly asked an extraordinary question.
"Sir, sir..." Upon hearing this question, the other party carefully reminded Mager with hesitation: "According to regulations, all pilots are not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty."
"The food is good, I want to drink it." Mager pointed to herself, smiled and patted the other person's shoulder: "Don't be nervous, you have done a great job."
The officer smiled sheepishly and said shyly: "Sorry, sir, I didn't react. There is wine. There are two bottles of Chang'an 3 Years in your new headquarters."
"Then everything is ready, isn't it..." Mager nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, sir! Everything is ready." The officer raised his chin confidently.
Ten minutes later, the earth-shattering roar of jets was heard on the ground. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky. A formation of J-6 fighter jets appeared on the horizon.
The goblins working on the construction site were also attracted by the loud sound. They all looked to the sky and looked at the weird airplanes they had never seen before.
The wings of these aircraft are not perpendicular to the fuselage, they extend backward and tilt. With a huge roar, the two J-6s rushed into the runway, taxied for hundreds of meters, and barely stopped at the end of the runway.
Before, some goblins thought that building such a long runway was a complete waste of time, but now they realized that these long runways were prepared for these guys who kept roaring.
Two jets parked on the runway, and the ground crew used specially designed trailers to drag the planes to the parking shed nearby. On the cleared runway, two more planes landed one after another.
In the sky, there were still a dozen of the same swept-wing aircraft circling non-stop, their silver fuselages flashing with a deadly cold light in the sun.
