    Chapter 1224 People Paying Attention to Jets The sound of artillery in the north of the city was like rolling thunder, which was continuous and made everyone in the city feel panic. The citizens crowded on the rooftops and high places, looking to the north, but the distance was too far.  The battlefield could not be seen, only the smoke and dust rising in the sky.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) Shao Zhenqing was also standing on the roof of the hotel, holding a telescope and looking to the north, but he could not see the battlefield either. He could only see the black smoke in the sky over the battlefield, and heard the rolling thunder.  Despite the sound of artillery, there is no doubt that the battle in the northern suburbs of Gum has broken out, and it is different from the sound of cannon yesterday and the sound of artillery early this morning. The sound of artillery now is particularly dense and fierce.  The shelling lasted for a long time, from nine o'clock in the morning to almost noon. It was already half past eleven in the morning, but the sound of artillery showed no sign of stopping.  "Editor-in-Chief, Editor-in-Chief. I borrowed a ladder. Maybe we can stand higher." Reporter and assistant Xiao Chen hurried to Shao Zhenqing with a herringbone ladder, pointed to the ladder, and lifted the ladder.  The ladder was set up.  Shao Zhenqing was very happy. He immediately climbed the ladder with the help of Xiao Chen, rode on the top of the ladder, raised the Chinese-made military telescope, and looked to the north.  "I seem to be able to see the dust raised by the explosion of the artillery shells, and I can also see the firelight on the position, but I can only see the highlands to the west, but I can't see the plains and valleys to the east. The distance is still too far." "Chief Editor  , How about we just walk to the battlefield, I think the battle won't stop today, maybe we can catch up with the battle." Xiao Chen heard Shao Zhenqing's muttering, so he made a suggestion.  Shao Zhenqing sat on the ladder and pondered Xiao Chen's suggestion. At nine o'clock this morning, he heard the sound of artillery fire from the north. Shao Zhenqing originally thought that it was the German and Iranian armies engaged in a harassing artillery battle like yesterday, so he didn't let go.  In his mind, he continued to interview local people in Gum City. But when the battle reached eleven o'clock, Shao Zhenqing, like many reporters from various countries who stayed in the city, began to think about it. Only then did he understand that today's  The battle in the north of Gum was probably a big battle, and the Germans might have launched an attack. So, at that time, Shao Zhenqing was preparing to rush to the northern battlefield with his assistant Xiao Chen, but the problem was that they could not find a car, and the battlefield was far away from the city.  The area was almost thirty kilometers away, and neither of them knew how to ride a horse, so they could only stand on the roof of the hotel and worry.  "If you go there on foot, you will have to walk for several hours." After thinking about it, Shao Zhenqing rejected Xiao Chen's suggestion. He decided to try his luck at the Chinese consulate in the local area to see if the consul came back. If the consul came back,  Maybe you can borrow a car. Originally, several Chinese companies also had local offices, but the cars were either damaged or used to transport staff to safe areas in the south. Because the railway traffic is now extremely congested, many southbound  Trains were held up at stations along the way to make way for military trains transporting arms and ammunition, so the fastest way southbound was to take a bus and take the road to Abadan Port, and then board a ship from there, either to Kuwait, or simply return home.  The situation in Gum is still relatively chaotic. Many people want to leave the city as soon as possible because they are worried about being bombed by the German Air Force again, but they cannot leave because of the lack of transportation. All taxis in the city have been blocked.  The rich man took the contract and took his employer to the south. Now in Gum City, except for military vehicles, it is difficult to find civilian cars, and it is difficult to borrow military vehicles, even if Shao Zhenqing holds the Chinese Army Reporter  Even with the certificates, they were unable to obtain vehicles from the Iranian military. The same was true for the Asian Alliance Headquarters. All the vehicles were assigned military purposes and could not be diverted to reporters.  Shao Zhenqing left immediately, got down from the ladder, handed the telescope to his assistant Xiao Chen, then took Xiao Chen down from the roof of the hotel, left the hotel, and was about to rush to the Chinese Consulate in Gum.  But just after leaving the hotel and walking less than fifty steps on the street, I heard the sound of a car horn behind me and someone shouting.  "Shaosang Shaosang" The voice sounded very familiar. Shao Zhenqing looked back and saw a Japanese-made car following him more than ten steps behind him. The driver was leaning his head out of the window and was heading towards  He waved his arms. The man Shao Zhenqing also knew was Oda, a reporter from Japan's Asahi Shimbun. Just half an hour ago, Oda and Shao Zhenqing were standing on the roof of the hotel, discussing what was going on today's artillery battle.  , Later, Oda left the hotel first. After that, Shao Zhenqing didn¡¯t know where he went. But now it seems that Oda must have gone to find transportation, and he was quite lucky. At least he got a semi-old Japanese car.  .  Seeing Shao Zhenqing turn his head, Oda proudly pointed to the Japanese car he was driving and shouted a few words at his Chinese colleague:??.  "Shaosang, Shaosang. Please get in the car, please get in the car." Shao Zhenqing was not polite. He saw Oda and another Japanese reporter in the car, so he hurriedly pulled his assistant Xiao Chen to the car, opened the door, and sat down  He got into the car, then closed the door and urged Xiaoda to drive quickly.  "Oda-kun, you came just in time. We are going to the northern battlefield, and we are on the same road." But Oda turned around, looking a little surprised.  "Shaosang, haven't you heard? Just now, a fierce air battle broke out in the south. A jet battle broke out between the Asian Alliance Air Force and the German Air Force. Now the battle is over and the battlefield is being cleaned. Don't you  Do you think this is a good opportunity to search for news materials? The jet wreckage in the south is more attractive than the shell craters in the north. "Who did you hear that there should be an air battle in the south?"  The outbreak occurred in the north. " Shao Zhenqing was stunned. He had never heard about the air battle, so he was very curious about where Oda got the news.  Oda patted the steering wheel of the car and pointed at the other Japanese reporter beside him.  "Of course I heard what he said, and his source of information was a Japanese trading company. The trading company had staff in the south who witnessed the air battle with their own eyes, so the trading company knew about the air battle, and the car we are riding in now also came from that company.  "I borrowed it from a Japanese trading company." "Oh? Is the news reliable?" Shao Zhenqing was still a little confused. He looked at the Japanese reporter who was not very familiar to him. He had some doubts that the Japanese reporter might work for the Japanese government or the Japanese military.  Otherwise, he would not have been so capable of borrowing a car in Gum City, and could also get information that others could not get at the first time. Another evidence to support Shao Zhenqing¡¯s analysis is that now the Japanese Military Ministry  The Japanese military is very interested in jet technology, especially the "Lightning" jets made in China. The Japanese military is even more anxious to buy a batch of them from China. After the US Air Force's P80 jets came on the scene, they indeed provided Japan with great value in the Pacific battlefield.  The Air Force caused quite a lot of trouble. The Japanese-made propeller fighter jets were no match for the P80 jets. In order to suppress the US military jets, the Japanese Air Force even used a rocket plane to catch up. This kind of aircraft  It is a one-time use and can only take off from an aircraft carrier, but cannot land. The pilot can only parachute at sea and wait for submarine rescue.  "The news is quite reliable. Shao Sang, if you insist on going to the north for interviews, then we will go on a different path." Xiaotian nodded.  Shao Zhenqing thought for a while and nodded.  "Okay, just take us to the south. If there is nothing worth covering there, we will turn around and go back to the north to cover the artillery battle there." Seeing that Shao Zhenqing agreed to go south together, Oda and the other Japanese reporter were very happy.  , having Chinese military reporters by your side will bring you a lot of convenience when doing interviews. This is the main reason why the two Japanese reporters specially invited Shao Zhenqing to go to the south to cover the air battle.  Of course, Shao Zhenqing can guess Oda's thoughts, but he doesn't mind going with this Japanese reporter, because Oda is also his friend. He creates convenience for Oda, and Oda can also provide him with some help.  The car started quickly and took the four reporters out of the city and drove southward at a very fast speed because there were almost no other vehicles on the road except military vehicles heading north.  Using this time, Shao Zhenqing asked his two Japanese colleagues some questions that he was very interested in. These questions were all about the current Sino-Japanese relations.  "Oda-kun, last night, the Asian League Security Council formally declared war on Germany and Turkey. Since then, the Asian League and Germany and Turkey have officially entered a state of war. As a Chinese, I am very  I¡¯m curious, how will the Japanese government respond to this situation?¡± After hearing Shao Zhenqing¡¯s first question, Oda glanced at the other Japanese reporter sitting next to him, hesitated, and then gave his opinion.  "Shao Sang, I think it is unlikely that the Japanese government will immediately express a public opinion on this. Maybe it will be neutral." Shao Zhenqing nodded and said: "But Japan and Germany have signed an alliance treaty and provide mutual military support.  obligations, when the Japanese government declared war on the U.S. government, the German government quickly fulfilled its alliance obligations, declared war on the U.S. government, and immediately fought with the U.S. military. If Japan cannot fulfill its military alliance obligations to Germany now,  There will be problems with the credibility of the Japanese government. Isn't the Japanese government worried? "Oda was a little embarrassed and looked at the Japanese colleague next to him. At this time, the Japanese reporter who had been silent for a long time suddenly started to speak.  ¡°?Mr. ??, Japan is now involved in a full-scale war with the United States. This Pacific war is cruel and fierce. At this time, I personally think that it is impossible for Japan to confront the Asian Alliance head-on. After all, Japan still needs the Asian Alliance.  The alliance provided supplies to continue this tragic Pacific War with the United States.  "Although this person doesn't speak Chinese very well, Shao Zhenqing agrees with this. "There is some truth in that.  It is now impossible for the Japanese government to fulfill its alliance treaty obligations with Germany, but as a result, there will inevitably be cracks in the relationship between Japan and Germany. I heard that the Japanese government has been trying to get assistance in jet technology from Germany. If Japan cannot fulfill its obligations with Germany  If Japan has its alliance treaty obligations, I think the German government should not provide jet technology to Japan.  "Shao Zhenqing analyzed it. "Oda and the Japanese reporter looked at each other, but neither of them answered. Shao Zhenqing saw that they didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so he stopped dwelling on this topic and started chatting with Oda about the current situation in Iran.  The situation. Half an hour later, Shao Zhenqing finally confirmed that they had arrived at the scene of the air battle, and the most direct evidence was a pile of still smoking aircraft wreckage not far from the road. After seeing the aircraft wreckage, Shao Zhenqing immediately reminded  Xiaotian stopped the car and everyone got out of the car and rushed to the wreckage. At this time, some local villagers were watching the wreckage and trying to remove some usable things from the plane. Several doors were burned.  The blackened and twisted cannons were thrown aside. Shao Zhenqing and Xiaotian studied the cannons first, and they immediately concluded that the jet that crashed here was probably a German Air Force Me262 jet.  aircraft, and the two flattened aircraft jet engines in the wreckage also proved the two people's inference. In just two days of interviews on the Iranian battlefield, they had seen the wreckage of several Me262s and were not familiar with this kind of jet.  Strange. When Shao Zhenqing and Oda were studying the machine gun, the other Japanese reporter was studying the flattened jet engine of the plane. He was focused. He was not busy taking pictures like Shao Zhenqing and Oda. Instead, he took out a tape measure and carefully  He measured the size of the aircraft engine wreckage, found a metal rod, and pried off the parts and heat shields on the engine, and put the pried items into the briefcase he carried with him.  , Shao Zhenqing became more and more certain that the unfamiliar Japanese reporter in front of him had an unusual background. Otherwise, he would not dismantle the wreckage of an aircraft and collect the parts of the wreckage like a professional. But Shao Zhenqing did not intend to do so.  To interfere, since what this Japanese reporter collected was a sample of the wreckage of a German jet, there was no need for him, a Chinese reporter, to inquire. If the Japanese reporter had collected the wreckage of a Chinese "Lightning", Shao Zhenqing would definitely be there in the first place.  Immediately reported to the relevant parties. While the reporters were still studying the wreckage of the German Me262 jet, the local villagers who were watching suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted. Shao Zhenqing looked up and saw a plane.  It was flying from the east to the west, dragging black smoke. It was at a very low altitude and not very fast. You could clearly see its appearance. It was a "Lightning" made in China. It might have been injured in an air battle, or it might have had a mechanical accident.  Malfunction, the "Lightning" did not look very good. Sure enough, as the onlookers on the ground expected, the "Lightning" finally failed to hold up when it struggled to fly into the nearby airspace.  After parachuting at a height of 200 meters above the ground, the plane staggered towards the ground and soon crashed into a field, turning into a ball of fire. The explosion was very clear.  "The Japanese reporter who came with Oda happily got into the car and drove directly towards the wreckage of the "Lightning" without waiting for anyone else. This surprised Shao Zhenqing and Xiao Chen.  "Xiaotian, are you familiar with this person?" Shao Zhenqing asked Xiaotian.  Xiao Tian glanced at Xiao Chen, then lowered his voice and told Shao Zhenqing a secret.  "He serves the military. I don't know his background. I only know that his main job here is to find out where the crashed jet wreckage is." Shao Zhenqing finally confirmed his judgment and nodded.  Shao Zhenqing decided to tell the relevant parties about the actions of this Japanese "journalist" after returning to the city, and asked them to pay attention to the whereabouts of this Japanese "journalist". As for now, Shao Zhenqing decided to find the Chinese parachute jumper first.  The pilot must be a Chinese pilot because the Chinese Air Force emblem is painted under the wing of the "Lightning" aircraft. In order to protect the skies of its allies, the Chinese Air Force also made some sacrifices.
