    The air seemed to be torn apart by the violent whistling sound, and accompanied by the whistling sound, a large transport plane was descending towards the straight runway. The landing gear had been lowered, and the wheels quickly touched the concrete runway, making a "  There was a "squeaking" sound, and the moment it touched the runway, the buffer rod of the landing gear contracted sharply. This seemed to indicate that the transport aircraft had a large load capacity and the cargo in the cargo hold was very heavy.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) This is a heavy transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, and it is a brand new model. The airport aviation commander has never seen a military transport aircraft with this layout before, although there are only two of them.  It looks like a propeller engine, but the plane looks huge. It's hard to believe that just two engines can ensure that the plane takes off.  A few minutes later, when the transport aircraft was towed to the tarmac by a trailer, the huge roar of the aircraft engine was heard in the sky. Another military transport aircraft of the same model appeared within the sight of the control tower, and soon  Also landed on the airport runway.  Although these two aircraft use propeller power systems, their engines are not old-style piston internal combustion engines, but a new concept of aviation engines, scientifically known as "turboprop engines", or "turboprops" for short. This kind of engine  Developed from the turbojet engine, it has the dual advantages of high thrust of a jet engine and fuel economy of an internal combustion engine. It is very suitable to be used as a transport aircraft engine, especially long-distance transport aircraft, which require the best balance between fuel consumption and power, so  , this kind of "turboprop transport aircraft" appeared, and there is a similar engine for helicopters.  The two transport aircraft that have landed at Ankara Air Base are turboprop transport aircraft. They are the latest products of the Chinese aviation industry and have just completed their first mass production plan. Therefore, the aviation commander at the airport does not recognize this kind of aircraft and can only escort this kind of transport aircraft.  Only fighter pilots know how to call this kind of transport aircraft. This kind of transport aircraft is the "Swan".  When the "Swan" landed on the airport runway, the escort mission of the fighter pilots ended. They also landed on the airport runway and quickly stopped the aircraft. The pilots jumped out of the cockpit, and the ground staff were busy using tow trucks to transport these aircraft.  The Lightning jet is towed to the hangar for maintenance.  After jumping off the plane, the first thing Zhao Qiwen did was to rush to the tarmac to watch the excitement. To be honest, driving the "Lightning" to escort the two "Swans" from Tehran to Ankara was in his mind.  He has been wondering what kind of cargo is in the cargo hold of the "Swan", and it actually requires a whole squadron of "Lightning" escorts. His intuition tells him that the cargo in the cargo hold of the "Swan" is probably a secret weapon, but in the end  What it is, he still needs to see with his own eyes.  This is a military airport. There are no idle people waiting. All the people present are soldiers. And obviously, there are many people who are as curious as Zhao Qiwen. The idle pilots and ground staff on duty also rushed to the tarmac to see what happened.  See what kind of cargo can be unloaded from the transport plane.  But to everyone's disappointment, when the clamshell-like cargo bay door at the rear of the plane was opened by the ground crew, what people saw were just a few large wooden boxes, not only nailed with nails, but also with seals on the outside. Several air force colonels  The officials were always guarding him, so no one else could get close enough to take a closer look.  There are no signs on the outside of the wooden box, not even the shipping airport.  Like everyone else, Zhao Qiwen's curiosity quickly turned to disappointment. It was impossible to see what was going on from outside the wooden box, so everyone quickly dispersed. The ground crew continued to do their own business near the airport runway, while the pilots  They gathered in the club to drink tea and chat, read newspapers and listen to the news. Zhao Qiwen was sitting in the club, chatting and drinking tea with his comrades. Their station was still in Tehran. After the maintenance of the fighter jets, they would fly back to Ankara in the afternoon.  Here, they could only stay for a few hours at most, so everyone discussed whether to use these few hours to go to the suburbs of Ankara.  However, they were quickly told by the pilots stationed there that it was best not to wander around, because the German army was still firing V2 missiles towards Ankara from time to time. The day before yesterday, a V2 missile landed in a village only two kilometers away from the city.  There, some sheep were killed. In comparison, it was safer to stay at the airport, because the airport was in the urban area, and the aiming point of the German missiles was also in the urban area. The missiles of this era basically had no choice in where to aim.  It can't hit anywhere.  Just when they were feeling depressed, the pilots in the club suddenly heard that special engine roar coming from the sky again. It was the engine of the "Swan". Everyone was a little curious. Could it be that there was another "Swan" coming to the airport?  ?  So a few people went out to take a look, and sure enough, two more "Swans" landed on the airport runway, and a general and an admiral got off one of the "Swans". These transport planes were obviously not??It took off from Tehran because the escort fighter jets were air forces from the Central Asian Military District.  Although the general who stepped off the transport plane was wearing an Air Force general's uniform, none of the pilots looking around on the runway recognized him. This was strange. Looking at the general's gray-haired appearance, he should be a military officer.  Zhongyuan, but why does no one among so many pilots know him?  The good guy hurriedly went to the club to find Zhao Qiwen and asked him to identify who the old general was. Basically, the pilots in the squadron now knew Zhao Qiwen's background. The president's son must know many old generals. After all,  , President Zhao is a president in military uniform, and the frequent guests at that house are not literati and poets.  Zhao Qiwen followed his comrades to the vicinity of the runway and took a closer look. Sure enough, he really knew the old general. It was none other than Shen Shanglian, the veteran of the Chinese artillery force.  However, Zhao Qiwen did not immediately reveal the identity of the old general, because he was also very curious. As far as he knew, at Shen Shanglian's age, he should have retired. Why is he still in the army now?  What's even more strange is that not only was the military rank raised from lieutenant general to general, but the service branch was also changed, from the army to the air force.  Before Zhao Qiwen could figure out the problem, a person was already running on the runway over there. He was an Air Force lieutenant colonel. He rushed straight to Zhao Qiwen and said something.  "Is it Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Qiwen? General Shen asked you to come over and talk." Zhao Qiwen nodded and ran over with the lieutenant colonel. When he arrived at Shen Shanglian's side, the artillery veteran was giving instructions to several air force officers.  .  "After establishing the headquarters, you first assemble the missile body, store the fuse and charge in underground ammunition depots, and assign dedicated personnel to guard it 24 hours a day, waiting for orders from superiors before making next arrangements." The instructions are completed.  , the Air Force technical officers immediately followed an airport commander to the warehouse, while Shen Shanglian turned back and glanced at Zhao Qiwen.  "Qiwen, when will you return to Tehran?" "You will fly back to Tehran this afternoon." Zhao Qiwen answered.  "Xiao Pi's troops will be transferred from the Caucasus war zone to Tehran for rest. If you have time, please contact us." After listening to Shen Shanglian's instructions, Zhao Qiwen agreed. "Xiao Pi" is Shen Shanglin's youngest son, who serves in the Army Artillery Corps.  He and Zhao Qiwen have been playing together since childhood. Since the war started, the two have not seen each other for almost more than a year.  Although it is important to keep in touch with Fa Xiao, what Zhao Qiwen is most concerned about now is what is Shen Shanglian doing in Ankara?  Thinking of the four "Swan" transport planes that landed at Ankara Airport today, and what Shen Shanglian told the Air Force technical officers just now, Zhao Qiwen's curiosity was aroused again. He wanted to know where these "Swan" transport planes arrived.  What kind of cargo does Ankara have that requires a general to personally escort it, and what kind of headquarters should be established?  "Uncle Shen, haven't you retired?" Zhao Qiwen found a breakthrough.  Shen Shanglian smiled and said: "Why, your father didn't tell you? He specially approved a note and asked me to contribute in the army for a few more years, so I don't have to retire for the time being. No, even the military services  Changed. You are not an outsider. Let me tell you straight. I am now the commander of the Strategic Air Force. Have you seen the report on the Giant missile? Yes, now, all the Giant missiles are  "It's under my control." "You are an artillerymanin charge of missiles? Oh, that's it." Zhao Qiwen was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood that, yes, the "Giant" missile is another form.  It is not too much to ask Shen Shanglian, the artillery veteran, to take charge of the artillery. The name "Strategic Air Force" is somewhat misleading.  "Understood? Just understand, so I don't have to bother you anymore." Shen Shanglian nodded.  ¡°Could it be that these ¡®Swans¡¯ are transporting ¡®Giant¡¯ missiles?¡± Zhao Qiwen¡¯s mind immediately became active.  Shen Shanglian was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head.  "You guessed it wrong. Hehe, you want to know what that thing is? Why don't you stop working in the Air Force? Report and come with me to join the Strategic Air Force. Once you join the Strategic Air Force, you can operate the wooden box with your own hands.  Weapons." These joking words scratched Zhao Qiwen's curiosity like a flea, but since Shen Shanglian refused to say it, Zhao Qiwen had no choice but to return to the club, and after thinking about it with the pilots, everyone was confused.  They felt that there was something strange about the "Swan"'s cargo, but no one could guess what the strangeness was.  Fortunately, this is a military base, and the ground staff are skilled. After the large wooden boxes shipped by "Swan" are disassembled, they need to be dismantled.It was necessary to assemble the contents inside, and the technical officers who came with the "Swan" were short of manpower. In order to rush for time, some piecemeal work was handed over to the airport ground staff. Therefore, two ground staff were lucky enough to see clearly what was inside the wooden box.  After the parts were assembled, Zhao Qiwen and several pilots invited the ground staff to have a meal and asked for advice. Then, the two ground staff drew a sketch for the pilots.  Open your eyes.  At this glance, everyone¡¯s curiosity immediately faded away, because they seemed to have seen the things on the sketch before, at least they had seen something similar.  Yes, this mysterious thing that has made pilots curious for a long time is actually an unmanned aircraft. Its appearance is somewhat similar to the V1 missile of Nazi Germany, but it is much larger. There are similar ones in the Air Force.  Planes, but they are target drones.  Germany's V1 missiles appeared many times during the Caucasus Campaign and the Turkish Campaign. Tehran and Baghdad were both attacked by such cruise missiles. Although the casualties caused by the attacks were not large, the panic caused was quite obvious. This  Compared with the V2 missile, the most obvious feature of the V1 missile is that it does not have a high parabolic trajectory, but takes off and cruises like an airplane, and then dives towards the target like an airplane dives. To be precise, this is actually an unmanned aerial vehicle.  The piloted, one-time use suicide attack aircraft was also used by the Germans to confuse enemy radars because its flight trajectory and speed resembled that of a jet aircraft.  The German army used v1 missiles to attack targets when they lost air superiority. This was mainly to create panic. The accuracy of such missiles is as low as v2. They cannot be expected to play any specific tactical role. However, if they are used  If the warhead of the missile is replaced with a warhead of mass destruction, then this will be a very powerful weapon, such as a chemical warhead, a biological warhead, or even a nuclear warhead.  Could it be that this V1 missile-like aircraft that is being closely guarded in the airport warehouse is also a cruise missile?  Considering Shen Shanglian's identity, could it be that this missile is actually equipped with a nuclear warhead?  Thinking of this, all the pilots, including Zhao Qiwen, immediately realized the strategic value of this weapon, so they immediately shut up and stopped discussing the matter. Curiosity is one thing, but leaking military secrets is  Another story.  However, everyone is still a little curious. They are guessing that the Strategic Air Force has brought these things, which are probably nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, to Ankara. What is it planning to do?  Is it really like what was broadcast on the radio station a few days ago that a full-scale nuclear strike will be launched against Nazi Germany and fascist Italy?  But why not use a "ferocious giant"?  Everything is a mystery, but the answer may not lie in the hands of the strategic air force commander. In fact, he, like the pilots and ground crew, is just a small part of this powerful war machine.  The people of War Machine are now far away in Cairo, Egypt.
