The train driver in the courtyard

The next day.

Through Mrs. Chen's relationship, Taoist Zhang came to Taoyuan.

On the road, rickshaws, cars, buses and people are mixed together, making it look very prosperous.

However, Zhang Laodao knew clearly that beneath the prosperity there were undercurrents, and this was actually a place where people eat each other.

If you can accomplish a great feat, you may have the opportunity to return to the mainland.

By then he will also work in the locomotive depot and be a happy track inspector.

According to driver Li, life on the railway is actually quite interesting.

Zhang Laodao held the steering wheel with his hands, followed the crowd, and finally arrived at the gate of a military amusement park near Taoyuan Airport.

Seeing that Zhang Laodao was in casual clothes, the fully armed guards refused to let him in.

"What are you doing? We only accept people from the military here."

"I am a friend of Mrs. Hu. Please help me."

Taoist Zhang skillfully stuffed two US dollar bills into the guard's hand.

On the island, power can solve all problems.

If that doesn't work, then add more money.

For such a small matter as getting in the door, Mrs. Hu's title and two dollars were enough.

"Ahem, you are from the detective team. Come in quickly."

There are many wealthy businessmen on the island who are interested in the military paradise, and the guards are no longer surprised by this.

After taking the money, he immediately made up an identity for Zhang Laodao and smiled as he made way.

Taoist Zhang walked into the military paradise with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.

The so-called military paradise is actually a large teahouse.

The first floor is the tasting area, and the second and third floors are divided into dozens of small compartments.

From the slightly shaded window of the cubicle came a series of strange, blushing noises.

Taoist Zhang walked slowly into the tea room on the first floor, sat on a chair, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

The madam, dressed up in gorgeous clothes, came over to greet them.

"Hey, General, you're here. Why are you just sitting there like an idiot? The girls are waiting for you on the second floor."

"I'm not looking for a girl today." Taoist Zhang sat there with a stern face, not moving.

The madam frowned and put her hands on her hips: "You're not here to find a girl, are you looking for trouble?"

"I'm telling you, this is Driver Hu's territory. If you want to cause trouble, you have to find out first."

Zhang Lao waved his hand and said, "Don't cause trouble."

The madam was a little confused: "Not looking for girls, and not looking for trouble?"

Zhang Laodao chuckled and said, "I came to see you."

Upon hearing this, the madam was stunned.

She spat, "Oh, this is the first time I've seen a weirdo like you. I'm already over 50 years old and I don't do that kind of thing anymore."

"Snapped!"

A handful of US dollars was slammed on the table.

"Sir, please come in!" The madam's eyes suddenly widened, and the shyness unique to a little girl appeared on her powdered face.

She walked over and rubbed Zhang Laodao's arm. The fragrance that came to her face almost made Zhang Laodao vomit.

"What are you thinking about! I just want to chat with you." Taoist Zhang shook off the madam's hand and put on the look of a gentleman.

"Oh, I, Xiao Cuihong, have lived for most of my life and have seen everything, but I have never seen a drifter go to a brothel to chat with a prostitute. I sell my body, not my art!"

When the madam saw that Zhang Laodao wanted to take the money back, she suddenly panicked.

She grabbed the money and said coquettishly, "Sir, I will do whatever you want."

Zhang Laodao paid another sum of money.

The madam's eyes widened.

"Don't treat me like a human being today."

"What are you thinking about!" Zhang Laodao grabbed two handfuls of money and looked at the madam with a smile: "I ask you questions and you answer them. For every question you can't answer, I will put one coin back. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I understand very well." The madam stared at the US dollar bills and nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Subsequently.

Taoist Zhang started chatting with the madam.

The content of his conversation was extremely complex.

It covers everything from the madam's background, to the flow of people in the military park, and even the girls' physical health and welfare.

The madam was a little wary at first, but soon realized that this man was a reporter looking for news material.

Since the establishment of the military paradise, many knowledgeable people on the island have opposed this dirty thing, and some disobedient newspapers have also begun to criticize it.

Taoist Zhang followed the instructions in the telegram and chatted for a long time before getting to the point.

"I heard that pilots often visit here?"

The madam's face changed.

She looked around and said in a low voice, "Sir, this is a confidential matter. I can't..."

Zhang Laodao took out a banknote and put it in his pocket.

The madam was so distressed that she was bleeding: "Sir, you are making things difficult for me, aren't you?"

Zhang Laodao took out another one and put it in his pocket.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but you must keep it a secret."

Seeing that the money was running low, the madam lowered her voice and said, "Last year, a team of pilots from Taoyuan Airport arrived. They are all lieutenant colonels. It is said that the instructor is from the United States. These people are very rich and only go to the high-level rooms."

The girls in the military paradise are divided into three grades.

The highest level is the premium room, which costs several hundred dollars each time. Ordinary soldiers can't afford it at all.

"How often do they come?" asked Zhang Laodao with narrowed eyes.

"You've asked the right person. We've been told that good girls should be given priority to these pilots.

But you also know that we only have a few good girls here, we can't stop them from receiving other customers.

If that happens, what will I eat and drink? Even Commander Hu won’t let me go.

So I came up with a solution, which is to ask the girls to ask them what time they will come when they are doing the work, and then write it down. "

The madam took out a notebook from her pocket, flipped through it, turned to a page, and handed it over.

Zhang Laodao took the notebook, glanced over it, wrote down the date, and handed the notebook back.

"These parasites, so much military money was spent, but they used it all to play with women!"

At this time, Zhang Laodao behaved like a responsible reporter.

The madam secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt that her speculation was not wrong.

After completing the task, Zhang Laodao did not leave immediately.

Instead, he chatted with the madam for a full half hour, paid attention to the situations of several other teams, and then left the military paradise.

After walking out of the gate and onto the wide street, Taoist Zhang suddenly burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect that Driver Li's method would actually work!"

Zhang Laodao didn't have time to rest and immediately returned to BH City.

The sound of radio waves was spreading across the strait.

"Ah!"

At this time in the Shijingshan Meteorological Station in Beijing, Li Aiguo was working as an assistant with the farmer to sort out clues from all over the country.

In order to find clues about the Black Cat Squadron, the entire meteorological system was mobilized.

Radar stations in various places also began to look through past radar records.

The result was nothing.

The Black Cat Squadron was like a ghost, floating in the sky without leaving any trace.

"It looks like we are in big trouble." The farmer frowned as he looked at the records.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Report, a telegram has been sent from the island." A man in a black Zhongshan suit handed the telegram to the farmer.

The farmer took the message, took out the code book and deciphered it.

"A total of seven pilots visited the military paradise. Their next scheduled visits to the paradise are on the 5th, 8th, 11th, and 20th."

The farmer's spirits were immediately lifted and he handed the telegram to Li Aiguo.

"Take a look."

Li Aiguo took the message and said in a deep voice: "According to the news from North America, although the U2 fighter has the ability to fly at meters, its failure rate is not low.

There had been a tragic mid-air disintegration during a test flight, so the pilots were taking great risks every time they flew.

In order to relieve stress, people always indulge themselves.

The day the pilots go to the military paradise is likely to be the day before they go on a mission.”

"I think so too! The enemy's next move will most likely be on the 6th, which is three days later!"

"I will report this situation immediately."

At this time, in order to shoot down the U2, an air defense headquarters was established under the leadership of the higher authorities.

The air defense command is responsible for commanding various departments and coordinating work.

The farmer immediately picked up the phone and contacted the commander-in-chief, reporting the information sent back by Zhang Laodao.

The commander-in-chief was overjoyed and said he would give the weather station a credit.

With the weather forecast provided by the meteorological department, the General Command then coordinated the various defense zones along the southeast coast to alert them to the approaching Black Cat Squadron.

Orders were transmitted across China along telephone lines.

All at once, prevention and control teams from all over the country were put into action, and all radar stations were switched on.

Army C on the southeast coast.

Li Yunlong should have been transferred to the border area by now.

After receiving the notice from the headquarters, they stopped temporarily and were responsible for rebuilding the air defense work along the coast.

"Damn it! These defeated generals actually dared to secretly send planes to cause trouble. They really don't take me, Li Yunlong, seriously!"

After learning about the situation, Li Yunlong pounded the table in anger.

"Old Li, what can we do? It's because their planes are too high. Our radar can't detect them, and our anti-aircraft guns can't reach them. This is called being inferior to others in skills." The chief of staff advised.

"Where's 543? Didn't we just form 543? Pull 543 up there. I don't believe we can't take down a few black cats!"

Although Li Yunlong was furious, he made the wisest choice.

The so-called 543 Unit is the earliest surface-to-air missile unit in the country.

543 was established in 1958 and is affiliated to the Beijing Air Force District. It is equipped with the most advanced enemy air missiles in the country.

The Chief of Staff said: "The Beijing Military Region has urgently transferred 543 here, but 543 has only been established for less than a year.

Because the SAM-II missiles that the Russians promised us have not arrived yet.

The development of our Dongfeng-2 missile has not yet been completed, so we can only use the P- missile at present."

"Without SAM-II, we can't defeat Black Cat?"

"Even if you know you will die, you must draw your sword. If you don't have the courage, don't be a swordsman!"

Li Yunlong hated the behavior that boosted others' morale and destroyed his own prestige the most, so he immediately gave a death order to several anti-aircraft battalions under the C Army.

"Notify several air defense battalions to immediately enter alert status and join forces with 543. Let's try to shoot down the Black Cat this time!" The chief of staff was also aware of the current situation.

When facing an invading enemy, you must bravely charge forward even if you are unarmed.

After he left the office, he immediately assigned the task according to Li Yunlong's orders.

The three rebuilt coastal air defense battalions immediately entered a level one state of readiness.

Two days later, the 543rd Unit also arrived at the southeast coast and erected a high-sensitivity radar.

A large net has been quietly spread in the southeastern coastal area.

Time unknowingly came to July 7th.

After more than half a month of hard work, Li Aiguo has already made the crib.

The overall shape of the stroller is simple yet elegant.

The frame is made of strong and durable aluminum alloy.

After fine polishing, it exudes a soft metallic luster, which not only ensures the stability of the vehicle body, but also reduces the overall weight and facilitates pushing.

Little Hongsheng lay in the crib, looking at his new mount with curiosity and giggling from time to time.

Liu Lan came out holding Xu Hua to join in the fun, and when she saw the new stroller, her eyes suddenly widened.

“This thing looks so beautiful.”

Liu Lan was a little envious and pushed Xu Damao's arm: "Da Mao, our daughter will be able to sit soon, and she also wants a stroller like this."

Xu Damao looked at the exquisite baby carriage and frowned in embarrassment: "Wife, if you ask me to play a movie, I promise I can finish it. Forget about this thing."

Qin Huairu sat at the door, looking at Xiao Hongsheng's stroller, she was so envious.

"Dongxu, you should also make a stroller for the child."

Bang Geng looked at the stroller with envy: "Daddy, Daddy, I want to ride in a stroller too."

Jia Dongxu said disapprovingly: "It's just a baby carriage. Wait, I'll go see what it looks like. With my craftsmanship, I guarantee I can make it for you."

Jia Dongxu came to the door of Li's house with his hands behind his back, turned around stealthily, and took note of the appearance of the baby carriage.

In the afternoon, Jia Dongxu found some scrap materials and went to the forging workshop, asking Liu Haizhong to help him straighten his hair.

He asked Yi Zhonghai to help him assemble it, and finally he went to the welding workshop and spent two cigarettes to find a master welder to help him.

In the evening, Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard with the stroller.

This stroller is particularly large, twice the size of Li’s stroller.

The stroller is made entirely of steel, with four steel pipes on top, three main pipes on the left and right, and a steel plate as the seat below.

Two steel pipes were welded to the ceiling as a frame.

Four wheels are welded at the bottom, and the stroller can be moved by pushing the handle.

Looking at the strange-looking baby carriage, Qin Huairu was a little confused for a moment.

Jia Dongxu went home and found a piece of rag to cover the shelf.

“How about this baby carriage I made?”

Qin Huairu took two deep breaths, then came to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "It seems to be quite strong."

"Of course, these are all made of pure steel." Jia Dongxu raised his head proudly.

Bang Geng couldn't bear it any longer and got into the stroller.

He sat on the steel plate, holding the metal railing with both hands, and touching it curiously.

Banggeng played with it for a while and then tried to stand up. He was shocked to find that his head could actually stick out from the two steel pipes.

"Hey, there are windows here! How interesting."

The stick terrier chuckled.

“This is my car from now on.”

The residents nearby seemed to think that the stroller was something, but they just couldn't remember what it was at the moment.

Now seeing Bang Geng standing in the stroller with his head sticking out from between the steel pipes, they suddenly remembered.

But the residents' faces all became strange. They looked at each other, and no one said anything.

At this time, Xu Damao came over to watch the fun, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "It's a square cage with four wheels at the bottom, and people can stand in it.

Wow, isn't this the cage cart that the government used to escort prisoners to be beheaded before liberation? "

The residents were already a little impatient, and when they heard Xu Damao speak, they burst into laughter.

Jia Dongxu stiffened his neck and said, "Xu Damao, what nonsense are you talking about? This is clearly a baby carriage, how can it be a cage carriage? Are you looking for a fight?"

"Oh yes, it's a baby carriage. I think it goes well with your little dog." Xu Damao suppressed his laughter and left with his hands behind his back.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Did you see that? Xu Damao made a mistake just now."

At this time, Jia Zhang came back humming a little tune. When she saw the baby carriage, she was overjoyed: "Dongxu, where did you steal the beheading cage from? This thing is made of iron and can be sold for a lot of money."

Qin Huairu: "."

Jia Dongxu: "."

Qin Huairu wanted Jia Dongxu to throw away the cage car because she thought it was too unlucky.

Bang Geng stood in the cage and refused to get out.

"Mom, I just love being in there. It's so much fun in here!"

"How come you are so ignorant, kid!"

Qin Huairu wanted to teach Banggeng a lesson, but was stopped by Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang touched Banggeng's hair lovingly and said with a smile, "In the past, the government would only use cage carts for people who had done great things. Our Banggeng will be a man who will do great things in the future, and this cage cart is a perfect match for him."

"But they are all bandits."

"What's wrong with bandits? They are all very capable people who can steal gold, silver and jewelry."

Qin Huairu found it a little difficult to understand Jia Zhang's train of thought and wanted to argue.

Jia Zhang pointed at her nose and said, "I see, you just don't want my eldest grandson to do great things in the future."

Qin Huairu: "."

She felt like she was talking to a cow and could only go into the house helplessly.

Banggeng raised his head proudly: "Grandma, I will do great things in the future and bring you gold, silver and jewelry!"

"Hey, this is my good grandson." Jia Zhang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

In this way, Bangteng had his own baby carriage.

When Li Aiguo learned about this, he was stunned.

I didn’t expect that Banggeng has shown the potential to be a thief since he was a child.

However, Li Aiguo was no longer in the mood to care about these bullshit things.

One night, Li Aiguo was worried about the situation in the southeast and tossed and turned.

Chen Xueru also noticed Li Aiguo's abnormality.

However, she knew that what Li Aiguo was unwilling to tell was definitely something she shouldn't know, so she didn't ask.

The next day, Li Aiguo was having breakfast when the fat aunt from the supply and marketing cooperative called him to answer the phone.

Li Aiguo immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out.

Chen Xueru looked at his back and felt a little worried.

I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and picked up the phone, and only one sentence came through the line.

"The black cat has escaped."

Li Aiguo was shocked.

Mission failed?!

Logically speaking, with the accurate information provided by Taoist Zhang and sufficient preparations made here, the black cat would not be able to escape even if it grew wings.

Where is the problem?

Li Aiguo returned home, quickly finished the remaining half bowl of rice, rode his bicycle all the way to the Shijingshan Meteorological Station.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw several team leaders reporting the situation to the farmers.

When the farmer saw Li Aiguo, he motioned for him to wait a moment.

After the team leaders finished reporting the situation, the farmer invited Li Aiguo to his study and handed him a report marked top secret.

According to the report, the Southeast Air Defense Force did not find any trace of U2.

However, the high-sensitivity radar equipped by the 543rd Unit did capture suspicious sound waves.

The 543rd Unit attempted to use a P-2 missile to lock onto U2, but was unsuccessful because U2 was at an altitude of over meters.

Finally, U2 sneaked in, took some photos in a swaggering manner, and then left in a swaggering manner.

"What a shame! This is a shame for us." For the first time, the farmer's face showed anger: "The enemy is relying on their advanced equipment to slap us in the face!"

"If it's just a slap in the face, it doesn't matter. The key is..." Li Aiguo stopped talking halfway.

The farmer understood at this time.

"Their real destination is the Gobi Desert?"

As the word "Gobi Desert" came out of the farmer's mouth, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Li Aiguo is not sure whether Langley has noticed that mushrooms are being grown in the country.

But U2 definitely didn't sneak in so frequently just to film Li Aiguo going to the toilet in the wild.

You know, even in later generations, the U2 is still the most advanced high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft in the world.

The cost of building it at that time was as high as 1000 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 4 million US dollars in later generations.

"I need to see the commander-in-chief immediately to see if there is any way to get the help of the Russians and get the SAM-II missiles."

The farmer didn't care about Li Aiguo anymore and left in a hurry.

"The maximum design altitude of the SAM-II is over 2 meters, which is enough to deal with the U, but the SAM-II is now the most advanced enemy air missile of the Russians.

It was not until the 60s, when the SAM-5 appeared, that the Russians began to sell the SAM-II."

Li Aiguo did not hold out much hope that the Russians would provide help.

After leaving the Shijingshan Meteorological Station, he rode his bicycle to the Fifth Academy of National Defense and found Qian's apprentice Xu Lanru.

As soon as Xu Lanru saw Li Aiguo, she knew his purpose.

"Driver Li, please follow me."

Xu Lanru took Li Aiguo into the fifth courtyard, passed through layers of checkpoints, and finally arrived at a large warehouse.

A separate sentry post was installed at the entrance of the warehouse.

The fully armed sentry did not open the door when he saw Xu Lanru.

"Please give Dean Qian a call."

The sentry answered Dean Qian's call and handed it to Xu Lanru.

Xu Lanru said into the microphone: "Mr. Qian, it's driver Li who comes to check on the condition of Dongfeng-1."

"I see."

Xu Lanru handed the phone back to the sentry.

After the sentry verified it, he opened the door of the warehouse.

The abandoned warehouse has now become a missile laboratory.

There are various advanced equipment, densely packed instruments, and criss-crossing wires inside.

Mr. Qian was busy working in front of a large instrument with a group of researchers in gray uniforms.

Compared with more than a year ago, Old Qian has more white hair.

"Driver Li, welcome!" When Mr. Qian saw Li Aiguo, he put down his work and shook hands with Li Aiguo enthusiastically.
