A doctor who travels through two eras

Hearing Commander Xu recount the difficulties faced by the Snow Region Army, Lin Sanqi nodded slightly, thinking to himself that it was indeed true, as this was a plateau region at an altitude of five or six thousand meters.

Let alone carrying supplies into the mountains, even walking is difficult because the oxygen is so thin, only half that of the plains.

In another short video, it's depicted that only fully equipped mountaineering enthusiasts, wearing oxygen tanks, would venture into such places.

Fighting in this place, altitude sickness can be excruciating and kill people.

Lin Sanqi felt deep respect for our sons and daughters, for they had sacrificed so much to safeguard the nation's borders.

"Commander Xu, what kind of assistance do you hope Bao'an County can provide? Just tell us. Director Shen and I have made our stance very clear: if we can help, we will definitely help, without hesitation."

If he were to nitpick at this point, he wouldn't be a Chinese.

Upon hearing this, Leader Jing nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxing felt a warmth in his heart, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke:

"Commissioner Lin, Director Shen, then I'll swallow my pride and state our demands:"

First, could you help us acquire a batch of more advanced weapons suitable for high-altitude warfare?

Baotou not only had the support of the United States, but also secretly the support of the Soviet Union, which provided a large amount of advanced weaponry. However, we had no one behind us; we were at a huge disadvantage in terms of weaponry.

Upon hearing this, Lin Sanqi slammed her hand on the table in anger, feeling both heartache and fury:

"Nonsense, how could you be without anyone behind you? The whole nation is supporting you, and Bao'an County is your solid backing. It's just weapons and logistical supplies, I'll take care of that."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxing was even more moved:

"Okay, thank you, thank you Commissioner Lin. As long as we have sufficient weapons and supplies, we are determined and capable of attacking Reed directly. Uh, but Commissioner Lin, what kind of weapons are you planning to provide us?"

Now it was Lin Sanqi's turn to scratch his head. He had been focused on fighting in the Yunnan rainforest and hadn't thought about fighting on the snowy plateau.

These two environments are completely different, and the weapons needed are naturally different as well, especially transportation equipment. Asking a Shandong cat to travel more than 2,000 kilometers to transport supplies is clearly not its forte.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi asked:

"Commander Xu, is it possible for you to build a simple airport in the Kongka Mountain area?"
After listening to your explanation, I realize that delivering supplies by ground is indeed too difficult. Therefore, I think the best way is to use airplanes, which is efficient, fast, and highly mobile.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Tianxing shook his head:

"Commissioner Lin, have you ever heard of the Hump airlift during World War II?"

Lin Sanqi nodded. He had indeed heard of it, especially the Flying Tigers Commander-in-Chief Chennault, whose name was legendary.

Xu Tianxing continued to explain:

"The Hump was an air transport route established by China and the United States during World War II. It was mainly used to transport strategic materials and combat personnel to our country. The route was named after the Himalayas it flew over."

The Hump route had an average flight altitude of nearly 4000 meters, and sometimes even had to fly over mountains as high as 7000 meters, which was already an extreme sport for airplanes at that time.

The U.S. military suffered losses of over 80% on the Hump route, losing nearly 1500 aircraft and nearly 3000 pilots.

Even my country suffered heavy losses, losing a total of 48 aircraft and 168 pilots, with a loss rate of over 50%.

These data show that transporting supplies by air to the Himalayas is extremely dangerous.

Our domestic transport aircraft are not capable of handling this, which is why we haven't considered air transport.

Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously.

Because propeller-driven aircraft used during World War II had limited performance, especially early models such as the DC-2 and C-53, they were not suitable for high-altitude flight, resulting in a high crash rate.

He's someone with the ability to travel through time; getting a few planes suitable for high-altitude snow-capped mountains would be a piece of cake for him.

Even if you can't buy it domestically, you can always buy it abroad.

However, Lin Sanqi wasn't sure about the specifics, so he continued to confirm:
"Commander Xu, I'll figure out the aircraft issue. What I need to confirm now is whether you can level the ground to create a makeshift airstrip. If you can't even manage an airstrip, then I'll have to think of other methods." Xu Tianxing thought for a moment, then pointed to the map and said:

"This place is called Tiannan River Valley. There is a simple airfield abandoned by the British army during World War II. With some repairs, the runway should be able to accommodate aircraft take-off and landing. It is about 30 kilometers away from our base, which is very close."

Lin Sanqi was relieved to hear this. He was most afraid that the plateau area was full of mountains and there would be no way to land transport planes.

However, long-distance transport of more than 2,000 kilometers is not a strong point of helicopters either. Moreover, ordinary helicopters cannot even reach high altitudes. If they crash into a mountain, it will be all over.

"Alright, leaders, you can rest in Bao'an County for a few days. I can't answer you right now what kind of help I can provide. I need to cross the border to Hong Kong. I will definitely bring you good news when I return."

At this moment, Leader Jing stood up, patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder, and said:
"Good lad, I knew you wouldn't let me down. Don't hold back, bring out whatever good stuff you have. This concerns the territorial integrity of the country; we are acting in self-defense and must strike back hard against the invading enemy."

"Let's use war to force peace and create a just and peaceful world. Let's strive to make the Kingdom of Baotou behave itself after this battle; otherwise, we won't hesitate to drink from the Ganges. Hmph."

Lin Sanqi's initial arrogance vanished instantly, and he waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, please let the leader drink the Ganges water first."

Xu Tianxing also clasped his hands and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Commissioner Lin, I beg you, I beg you!"

That evening, Lin Sanqi took a large plane to Lizhiwo and disappeared in Bao'an County.

2015 October.

Lin Sanqi, accompanied by his secretary Yao Zhuohan, reappeared in Xi'an.

On the plane, Yao Zhuohan was still a little puzzled: "Boss, didn't we just go to Dongshan Province? How come we're in Shaanxi Province again after only a few days?"

Lin Sanqi was reading a novel on her phone. Hearing this, she didn't even look up and said:

"Of course it's to make money. If the boss doesn't make money, where will he get the money to pay your salaries?"

Yao Zhuohan pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "Is my boss taking me on business trips all the time because he's planning to make a move on me during those trips?"
Should I agree or not?
Thinking of this, Yao Zhuohan blushed a little. This little fairy was just that ordinary yet confident…

In the chairman's office of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group.

Huang Jinpeng held Lin Sanqi's hand tightly, his whole demeanor beaming like a matchmaker:
"Oh, Chairman Lin, welcome, welcome! It's been months since we last saw each other."

After Lin Sanqi shook hands with the head of Xifei Group, the two then sat down.

"Mr. Huang, I'm really sorry to trouble you to pick me up from the airport again. I'm embarrassed to do this, but I don't have any other friends in the aviation industry, so I can only ask you for help."

Huang Jinpeng waved his hand:
"What trouble or not, anything that concerns Chairman Lin is a matter for our Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, and it's our top priority. Haha. If it weren't for you, our Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group probably wouldn't even have a good year."

With Lin Sanqi's massive order totaling 60 billion RMB, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group can expect to earn at least 600 billion RMB in profits and intermediary fees from the aircraft, representing one-tenth of the total.

With so much money, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group's financial crisis was greatly alleviated.

"Moreover, not only will employees' income increase significantly, but more importantly, we now have money, which allows us to invest more in scientific research. So Chairman Lin, you are definitely a great benefactor to our Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group."

"Not at all, this is all the result of the hard work of the Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they finally got down to business.

"Chairman Huang, I've come here today because I really need your help. I urgently need a transport aircraft. Your Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group is a professional in this field. I saw quite a few Y-20s parked in your hangar last time."

Huang Jinpeng was embarrassed when he heard this, thinking to himself that this kid had his eye on his precious child.

"Chairman Lin, oh dear, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you, but there are national regulations that prohibit the sale of the Y-20. Currently, there aren't many Y-20s in service domestically, not even enough for our own use."

Lin Sanqi was disappointed when he heard this, because he had checked the information and it said that the Y-20 was very well adapted to the high-altitude environment.

He originally thought that with his relationship with Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, getting a few aircraft would be a piece of cake.

"What about renting it? Can the Y-20 be rented? I need it urgently." (End of Chapter)
