Chapter 1335: Hurried

"Uh, Eric, what did you just say? Is there anything important?" Seeing Tan Zhenhua's face was different, Latif asked, "Excuse me, I don't understand as much as Mahmoud. Chinese."
Tan Zhenhua calmed down, and secretly reminded himself that the more at this time, the more calm he was. Then, he looked at the watch on his wrist. It was 15:30 in the afternoon.
I hope it is too late, no, it must be late anyway!
"Mr. Major General, I suddenly thought of something urgent. Well, I hope to see President Huck and Minister Mahmoud as soon as possible. They are at the Bahawalpur base? How far is it from Karachi? Or I can Just fly over to find them?"
"Bahawalpur is in Punjab, about 900 kilometers away from Karachi. It's not too close. If you fly there, it will take about an hour and a half. But Eric, even if you have something urgent, be prepared to take off there. , It’s also around the evening. Instead of that, you might as well fly to Ebu, and I have to remind you, Eric, it’s Punjab."
Tan Zhenhua immediately understood the hidden meaning of Major General Latif’s words-Punjab, that was the nest of the Sharif family. The second young master, you have offended this family to death, so you rushed into the nest of others without any preparation. Go inside, this, isn't it a bit reckless?
Recklessness is definitely reckless. Batie is not like Huaxia, where all parts of the country are under the powerful management of the central government. In some respects, this country is actually more like a tribal union. The local clans are more often than the central government. With great influence, rushing into Punjab must be risky.
But thinking about the consequences, Tan Zhenhua gritted his teeth and made up his mind:
The matter is indeed very urgent. It’s better for me to go to Bahawalpur as soon as possible. Major General Latif, can you please inform that side first? Let them wait for me, um, and let the airport here in Karachi arrange for my plane to take off as soon as possible."
Latif also seemed to have noticed something. He took a deep look at Tan Zhenhua and said: "Okay, I will send someone to inform Mr. President right away, let them wait for you, go, I will accompany you to the airport now. Try to take off as soon as we arrive. Well, I will accompany you."
While Tan Zhenhua and Latif drove to Karachi International Airport, Ziya. President Huck also ended the arrangement of activities in Bahawalpur.
To be honest, since signing a purchase order for the "85III" tank with China, and instructing the Army and Equipment Department and China Ordnance Industry Department to start negotiations on the joint development of a new generation of "Khalid" main battle tank, Hack The president is not very interested in the improvement plan provided by the Americans based on the M60A3. However, since the Americans have dispatched ambassadors and national defense representatives to send him a grand invitation, how can he give this face? Moreover, the play has to be a complete set. Since it is planned to give face, it must be given enough. Therefore, President Huck’s lineup for this trip is quite strong. He himself, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Three Armies, Akhtar. Admiral Abdul Rahman, Presidential Press Secretary Shalik, and Equipment Minister Mahmoud were all present, as well as several senior army generals.
The exercise ended at 14:50 in the afternoon. President Huck immediately gave a brief speech to all soldiers who participated in the exercise, thanking them for their loyalty in fighting for the country, and encouraging them to continue to maintain a firm belief and hold the weapons in their hands. Resolutely eliminate all enemies who dare to come.
These are standard procedures. After he delivered this speech, the trip to Bahawalpur is over. Next, he has to fly back to Iborg immediately, because Mahmoud told him that today, he waited. The young Chinese man who had taken a long time finally arrived at Karachi Port and will fly to Iborg to visit him tonight.
"There should be a conclusion about Gwadar Port." Zia sitting in the presidential car. Huck looked at the scenery passing by the car window and thought silently.
Although Bahawalpur is also known as one of the largest cities in Punjab Province, in fact, according to China’s standards, it can only be regarded as the size of a county, and two-thirds of the county is covered by the Churistan Desert. The military base where the exercise was conducted just now is located on the edge of the desert. It is not far from the base to a small dual-use airport in the city. The distance is only more than ten minutes by car.
At 15:20, the presidential motorcade arrived at the airport.
At 15:30, President Huck and his party started boarding.
President Huck’s land plane is a metric "C130" tactical transport aircraft, nicknamed "Hercules". It was developed by Lockheed in the 1950s. It is powered by 4 4590-horsepower turboprop engines and can take off and land at the front airstrip. It has been in service for more than 30 years since its first flight on August 23, 1954, and has been used in more than 70 countries or regions. The total production quantity exceeds 2,000. Various missions are changed. With nearly 40 types, it is one of the most successfully designed transport aircraft in the world with the longest service life and the largest number of countries in service.
During the "hostage crisis" of Ipohs, the United States even planned to install booster rockets for it, so that the fat big guy could take off from the short runway of the aircraft carrier, load a special operations squad into Tehran and rescue the trapped. Hostage in the embassy.
Although this plan could not be finally implemented, the takeoff test of the C130 with rocket boosters on the deck of the aircraft carrier has been done ceremoniously and succeeded. It can be seen that the performance of this transport aircraft is outstanding.
And precisely because of its ability to take off and land on runways with very harsh conditions, Ziya. Huck didn’t choose a passenger plane but instead used such a modified C130 as his own special plane-Pakistan Railway is a poor country, unable to build a 3000-meter-long high-standard concrete runway for all bases. With C130, there is a loess road that is a few hundred meters flat and can take off and land. This pair of soldiers was born and likes Zia to visit various bases and front lines. For Hack, it is a very useful performance.
At 15:40, everyone had boarded the plane. The pilot notified all passengers on the plane to fasten their seat belts. At the same time, they notified the tower and asked for permission to take off.
At 15:42, the tower notified the presidential plane to prepare for take-off, and it was allowed to take off after the two F16 fighters undertaking missions took off.
At 15:44, the two F16s that served as the mission of the presidential plane whizzed across the runway and rose into the sky. At the same time, the presidential plane slowly left the airport parking space and stopped on the take-off line.
At 15:45, the pilot got the tower's permission to take off. He gently pushed the control stick and slowly increased the throttle. The huge blades of the four turboprop engines turned faster and faster, when the speed reached the threshold. When the pilot released the brakes.
At this moment, the latest communication came from the tower: "Presidential plane, please wait a minute. Someone wants to talk to Mr. Huck. He said that his name is Eric and he has a hundred thousand urgent matters."
