115: Crucial
Ivanyafu snorted discontentedly, clearly hit where it hurt, and turned his head away.
"What? The Vice President is injured?" Adam asked anxiously.
"Yes, but please rest assured, he is out of danger."
"That's good. Let me see the order. If there's no problem, I'll let you through."
After confirming that the signature on the order was indeed the Vice President's, Adam cleared the way, allowing the truck to pass.
The engine roared again, the vehicle rolled over the muddy road, passed through the border checkpoint, and quickly disappeared into the distance, as if it had never appeared.
When the vehicle had completely left the border, Xu Ning and his companions finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Ning looked out the window, his heart filled with emotion. He had never imagined being able to cross the border so openly.
According to the information, given the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria's current strict blockade, they should not have had the chance to leave the country so easily.
All these changes stemmed from that encounter and meeting Kadeyafu.
Thinking of this, Xu Ning looked through the window at the back of the carriage and said to Kadeyafu: "We will handle the Utopia matter ourselves. Your grandfather passed away last night. Is it really okay for you to leave now?"
The voice was not loud, but it was enough for Kadeyafu to hear inside the vehicle.
"Don't worry, Mr. Sari will handle it."
Kadeyafu's words were true. His accompanying them this time was exactly according to Sari's instructions.
Since everyone was striving for benefits, why couldn't the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria get a piece of the pie?
There was no time to mourn Dudakov's passing. Sari instructed Kadeyafu from his sickbed that for the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria's interests, he must get involved!
Thus, at the border station, Kadeyafu, along with Ivanyafu and a small squad, traveled with Xu Ning and his group.
Along the way, the soldiers sharing their vehicle looked at Xu Ning and his group with wary and disdainful eyes.
Xu Ning and the others paid no attention to this, even though Xie Biao was confident he could defeat them with his injured squad.
Xu Ning vaguely guessed Kadeyafu's intention, but he still pretended to be ignorant and probed him.
Kadeyafu also did not reveal it, and the two talked in a lukewarm manner.
As time passed, the truck drove deep into Uto Male territory.
Suddenly, the roar of an airplane came from the sky, causing everyone, including Xu Ning, to look up.
When he saw the appearance of those planes clearly, his face changed drastically.
Several "White Swans" quickly swept across the sky, like sharp blades cutting through the long sky, instantly disappearing into the distance.
"tu-160..." Xu Ning stared blankly at the sky, muttering.
Judging by the planes' flight path, they were preparing to land, which was why Xu Ning could see these behemoths with his naked eyes.
Normally, they fly at an altitude of twenty-one thousand feet.
Their landing location seemed to be a valley in the distance.
"Map, quickly get the map!" Xu Ning ordered urgently.
Zhao Zhide, who was beside him, did not hesitate and quickly took out the map from his backpack.
And with a flash of inspiration, he pointed to a mountain range.
"Mr. Xu, it should be here, Toran Valley."
Xu Ning asked: "You know this place?"
Zhao Zhide scratched his head, "I've only passed by a few times. I remember it's a military restricted area, and ordinary people can't enter. They say there are also landmines."
"So that's how it is..." Xu Ning nodded, having a rough idea.
This place doesn't match the description in the information given to me by Elder Zhong. It seems I've unintentionally found a new option. I'm really lucky.
I didn't expect that a military airport was hidden in this valley, which shows the opponent's strong military layout. Looking at the mountains in front of him and the simple map in his hand, Xu Ning muttered a few words to himself.
In fact, this was due to a painful lesson during World War II. At that time, due to the influence of the non-aggression pact and insufficient pre-war preparations, most airports were being renovated and expanded simultaneously.
As a result, more than 2,500 fighter jets were concentrated at a few airports. The intelligence was captured by enemy reconnaissance planes, leading to almost all fighter jets being destroyed at the beginning of the war, losing air superiority.
In this mission, Xu Ning and his team not only discovered this airport, but it was also very close to their destination, the Malyshev Military Factory.
"If only we could get in..." Xu Ning thought to himself. As long as he could get in touch with the tu-160 and get its design blueprints, then large-scale production would be possible.
However, how to enter the airport became a problem. It must be heavily guarded, and there are minefields. If they act rashly, it might lead to the annihilation of the entire team. Thinking of this, Xu Ning had to temporarily put this thought aside.
First, solve the problem of the Malyshev Military Factory, then gradually contact the design bureau and other military factories. The final goal is the Nikolaev shipyard and the ulyanovsk aircraft carrier, which is crucial for enhancing their own maritime strength.
"Teacher, didn't you say you could pilot anything that flies? Can you handle this tu-160?" Big Guy asked curiously. The team members' impression of the tu-160 was clearly blurred.
Teacher stroked his bald head and said with a smile: "Haha, give me an operation manual, and I can fly it with my feet."
"Oh, come on. You might as well say you can pull it with your butt," Big Guy teased.
Teacher: "Go away! You try pulling the control stick with your butt!" After speaking, Teacher clutched his chest and gasped for a few breaths of cold air, because his ribs were injured just now, and the wound was affected when he got emotional.
Big Guy chuckled foolishly and turned his head to look at the sky, muttering: "I wish I could fly a plane, so I wouldn't have to sit in this broken truck. It's so bumpy that my injuries are going to split open."
Teacher replied: "Then you have to curry favor with the Boss. Ordinary fighter jet cockpits are too cramped, I'm afraid they can't fit a Big Guy like you. You have to ask the Boss to specially customize one for you."
Indeed, the internal space of fighter jets is limited. To accommodate various equipment, they are usually designed to be relatively small, which also limits the pilot's physique, who are usually not too tall or large.
"I didn't say I had to fly a fighter jet. I prefer transport planes!" Big Guy gave a thumbs up and said proudly.
Teacher just glanced at him and didn't say anything, but he felt a little emotional in his heart.
Transport planes, he really hadn't touched them, because in China, this area was still blank...
Xu Ning heard their conversation, and the image of the Antonov an-225 couldn't help but appear in his mind.
That's right, I almost forgot about this Big Guy. It seems this mission is going to be busy.
"Mr. Xu, are you thirsty? This is boiled water that was cooled down this morning." Zhao Zhide saw that Xu Ning had finished marking the map and was deep in thought, so he handed him a water bottle.
Looking at the water bottle being handed over, Xu Ning licked his dry lips and took the water bottle.
From early morning until now, he had only eaten some black bread, and he was indeed a little thirsty.
