Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 414: The missing flight finally has some clues
"Tell me more details." Lu Qingzhou said in a serious tone.

Liang Dong sighed again and said, "We are facing several problems now."

"First, the plane is still lying across the runway, but because this airport doesn't have a large tractor, there's no way to tow the plane out."

"Secondly, there is no major damage to the rest of the aircraft, but the rudder and tail are completely scrapped."

"Oh, yes. The two tires on the left and right sides of the rear landing gear also blew out, but it's just a minor problem and won't affect the overall situation."

"The most damaged parts are the tail and rudder. They were riddled with rocket shrapnel and can only be replaced but not repaired. However, Sirte Airport is a 4D-class airport. Where can we get Airbus A350 parts to replace them?"

"Third, there are only about 20 tower and control staff at the airport. As for the other maintenance and logistics support personnel, they have long disappeared. In other words, even if there are spare parts, we have no one to use them."

"Captain Chang Jian does know some simple repair techniques. He and Xu Yichen are currently looking for replacement parts at the maintenance center next to the oil depot. I don't know how their progress is going."

“The fourth problem is that we are running low on gas.”

Lu Qingzhou was a little surprised, "The airport fuel depot is out of fuel?"

Liang Dong said helplessly, "Don't say anything. The oil depot is empty. There is nothing. It is said that there was a riot in this city before the civil war broke out. The riot did not affect the airport, but there was a traitor in the airport who stole everything that could be moved."

"Fuck!" Lu Qingzhou cursed.

really.

When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters.

Although Eritrea is not a country with particularly rich oil and gas resources, it is also considered an oil-producing country.

After all, Eritrea is located on the coast of the Red Sea and has no shortage of oil and gas resources.

not to mention.

Jet fuel has basically no other use except to refuel airplanes.

I don't know what these people are doing with this stuff.

There are several types of aviation fuel, corresponding to different engines.

For example, ordinary small propeller planes can even be refueled with diesel or gasoline.

However, large aircraft or fighter jets, etc., generally use turbine or turbofan engines.

Therefore, the fuel required is also special aviation fuel.

In other words.

The fuel in the airport fuel depot is quite expensive.

But it is of no use to ordinary people stealing it.

It would be more practical to steal a few chairs.

So why steal that thing?

"Any other questions?" Lu Qingzhou asked helplessly.

"There are no other problems with the plane for now." Liang Dong continued, "But the runway at the airport is too narrow and too short. Even if the plane is repaired, it may not be able to take off successfully if it is fully loaded."

Lu Qingzhou thought about it, stood up and said to Liang Dong, "Let's go to the maintenance center first."

Liang Dong stood up.

However, just as the two of them were about to leave the VIP waiting room, Huang Jia walked in with a bread in one hand and a bottle of mineral water and toothpaste and toothbrush in the other.

Seeing that Lu Qingzhou had already gotten up, she quickly asked, "Where are you going? Don't you want to eat?"

Lu Qingzhou took the mineral water and the bread from her and said, "We can still eat while walking."

After saying this, he took a bite of bread and hurriedly left the VIP waiting room with Liang Dong.

Huang Jia behind him stamped his feet anxiously and said, "You are still a wounded soldier, what are you busying around with?"

But before she finished her words, Lu Qingzhou's back disappeared from her sight.

Asmara, the capital of Eritrea.

The embassy, ​​which was once very crowded, is now empty.

All the Xia country expatriates who had gathered at the embassy, ​​as well as most of the embassy staff, were transferred to the port city of Assab, more than 200 kilometers away, early this morning.

The Xia Kingdom's escort fleet is currently anchored off the coast of Assab Port, preparing to evacuate overseas Chinese from the sea.

Ambassador Fang Jin stood on the second floor and didn't sigh until the last bus full of overseas Chinese disappeared from his sight.

Although now all the expatriates have boarded the vehicles and evacuated.

However, the journey of more than 200 kilometers is not a smooth journey, but is full of various dangers and accidents.

Eritrea is now in chaos.

In addition to the fierce fighting between government forces and opposition forces, at least 10 large and small armed groups took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Rather than being called "armed forces", these forces are more like bandits or even terrorists.

In the eyes of these people.

Not to mention Xia Country, even the world hegemon, the United States, is useless.

If you meet these "bandits" on the road, they will not be merciful just because the convoy is a Xia country evacuation convoy.

in other words.

These armed forces don't care what country you are from.

Rob when you should rob, kill when you should kill
Troubled times.

The bigger the fist, the more powerful it is.
So this journey of more than 200 kilometers is full of dangers.

Even if armed security personnel were sent for protection, they still requested the Marines from the escort fleet to go ashore to provide support.

But Fang Jin still felt uneasy and uneasy.

After all, there are only a few dozen security personnel.

And although they were well-trained, they were outnumbered and only carried light weapons and a small amount of ammunition.

If we really encounter a large group of armed elements, we won’t be able to protect ourselves, let alone the safety of all overseas Chinese.

As for support?

Although the embassy had received authorization from the Eritrean government to allow the marines to go ashore.

But the number of people is limited to 50.

This number of people.

It's just a drop in the bucket.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in worrying about it.

The Eritrean government has closed all of the country's airspace, and the Chinese nationals stranded in Asmara have no way to evacuate by flight.

Rather than staying in the embassy and 'waiting to die'.

It’s better to find another way.

at this time.

The sky was gradually getting brighter.

The warring parties may have been tired of fighting.

So we haven't heard any intense gunfire for almost an hour or two.

Fang Jin turned around.

He walked to a map of Eritrea hanging on the wall of the office, looked at the map and muttered to himself, "If these expatriates can successfully reach Assab and board the ship to leave, then only Sirte and Tobruk will be left for this evacuation mission. Alas, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If we grit our teeth and persevere, perhaps we can evacuate all the expatriates safely."

At this time, Fang Jin suddenly frowned slightly.

"Have I forgotten something else?" he muttered.

Before he could remember.

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

Zhang Jiajia hurried in with a document and said to Fang Jin, "Ambassador, we have found the evacuation flight that the country asked us to search for."
