Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 208: Meeting
Yanbu Port itself has an old runway built 30 years ago. It was built during the time when the British supported the Arab Revolution for take-off and landing liaison aircraft. After the British withdrew from Saudi Arabia, this rammed-earth runway was abandoned Now, occasionally some herders will come here to race horses and dry dates. Chen ↙ Yuan ↘ Wen? Xue ↘ Net
Although the runway is not long, the foundation is very solid, and the selected location is quite good. It is only about three kilometers away from the main city of Yanbu Port, and there are no hills and ditches around. The terrain is very suitable for aircraft to take off and land.
After the Germans occupied the Yanbu port city, they subsequently transported an Air Force mechanical and chemical barracks ashore. These battalion engineers have extremely rich construction experience and have proven their capabilities as early as the British air battle.
Because of the original foundation, the German engineers saved a lot of construction time. With the help of various construction machinery, the engineers spent a whole day and night to lay two field steel plates with a total length of 800 meters. track. At noon on the second day of the German landing, the first batch of JU52 transport planes carrying supplies and personnel successfully landed at Yanbu Port Airport.
When Xu Jun arrived here, this air base was still expanding outward, and the African Army Command seemed to want to turn this into a comprehensive German military base on the east coast of the Red Sea. Yanbu’s geographical location is quite good, otherwise it would not have been referred to as a direct territory by the rulers of the past. This port is located at the intersection of the land and water and land aorta in the Hanzhi area. It has been a must for military strategists for hundreds of years. Contend for.
The head of state's special plane has taken off and landed here many times. The captain is very familiar with the runway situation. Accompanied by the passionate German military music, the blue-gray FW200 landed gracefully on the flat steel runway.
Now these perforated steel plates have been coated with a layer of black asphalt, which can not only resist the corrosion of sea fog containing salt, but also reduce the reflections on the runway, which is beneficial for pilots to take off and land under the scorching sun.
The military band is the headquarters of the African Army Corps. It was pulled from the logistics base of the headquarters in Aljodar overnight by Aunt Juncker. Yesterday these musicians were still playing music for the wounded of the African Army to boost morale. One night later, they were already standing by the Yanbu Port runway, welcoming the arrival of the head of the Third Reich. No one would believe this kind of thing. , Even many military musicians thought they were dreaming. Reinhard von Steide, the head of the imperial state, has been enshrined in the Pantheon by the German people. Xu Jun can feel this all the time now. Although he himself would not admit it, it is in the eyes of ordinary Germans. , He is fully qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great monarchs in German history.
Kucheler was wearing an army general parade gown today, with a golden officer thread and all medals on his chest, a German army ceremonial sword hung around his waist, and a red-rimmed generals breeches on his lower body. , The calfskin boots were polished brightly, and the 59-year-old army general stood upright like an ordinary soldier, standing alone in front of a group of senior African officers.
Just about two meters away from the general’s side, there are two SS officers standing side by side. The black SS parade gowns on them look very conspicuous against the surrounding army gray and desert yellow uniforms. .
The Führer’s special plane dropped its head at the top of the runway and slowly drove along the taxiway onto the apron. Before the plane was completely stable, two SS officers hurried up to meet it. Admiral Küciler frowned slightly when he saw this, but immediately remembered the identities of these two, he had no reason to block their actions.
"Hello, Hank, how is the journey, is it going well?" Dogan greeted the crew mechanic who opened the hatch.
"Hello, Colonel, the flight is very smooth." The mechanic opened the lock on the floor and put down the folding suspended ladder.
"Long time no see, Hank." Randolph said from the side.
"Long time no see, Lieutenant Colonel, it would be great to see that you are safe." The mechanics and adjutants have long been acquainted with each other. Who made this head of state like to run around with double ant legs.
After finishing the hanging ladder, the mechanic quickly retreated to the side, and then the head of the empire appeared in front of everyone.
"Hi! Reinhardt! My head of state." Daogen's boots slammed into him and raised his hand.
"Hi! Reinhardt!" Randolph raised his right arm excitedly and shouted.
Dogen found that the voice of his subordinates seemed to be a little wrong, so he couldn't help but glanced around, and found that this unreliable subordinate, tears flashed in the corner of his eyes.
What's the situation? Colonel Dougen was a little dumbfounded, what kind of tricks this little **** was doing in front of so many people.
"Thanks, Daogen." Xu Jun walked down the gangway, walked to Daogen first, and shook the adjutant's hand firmly.
Then the Führer turned around and looked up and down Randolph carefully.
"It looks like you've had a pretty good life this time, Randolph." A bright smile appeared on Xu Jun's face.
"Yes, it’s not bad, my head of state, you personally came from Berlin, I mean I can see you here...it’s really...really... sorry, I don’t know what to do Express the mood at the moment, the head of state..." Randolph replied choked, teardrops running down his cheeks uncontrollably.
"It’s fine if people are fine, Randolph, do you know? During your disappearance, all the people in the Führer’s Mansion were worried about your safety. You are especially grateful to Colonel Dogen for knowing Your plane crashed in the desert. He asked me that night to fly to the Middle East to find you.” Xu Jun smiled and patted Randolph on the shoulder, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and stuffed it. Randolph's hands.
"I'm really grateful to the colonel. I'm very sorry for worrying you, my head of state." Randolph took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, then blew his nose again.
Dogen's eyes jumped wildly, and he forcibly stopped the thought of giving Randolph a brain in front of the Führer.
"Go here, please, my head of state, General Küciler was waiting at the airport early in the morning." Daogen leaned slightly and reached out his hand in an inviting gesture.
"Yes, don't let the general wait too long." Xu Jun agreed with a smile, and then followed the SS colonel to the general who was standing in front of the crowd.
"Welcome~IndoMTL.com~My head of state." Admiral Küciler saluted the head of the Empire with a standard army salute.
"It's nice to meet you, General Qu Hillel." Xu Jun raised the marshal's rod and solemnly returned a military salute to the opponent.
"You look good, my head of state." Quhillel greeted him.
"You look a lot darker than when you last met, General." Xu Jun laughed and joked.
"You know, the sun in the Arabian Peninsula." Quhillel shrugged his shoulders pretending to be distressed.
"Hahaha." The head of state and the general smiled, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became relaxed and active.
"Allow me to introduce you to the members of the Legion Command. The Chief of Staff of the Legion, General Hase, of course you have known it a long time ago..." The commander of the African Legion led the head of state to meet the African army officers who came to welcome him.
"Wipe all your nose clean, and don't shame the Führer in front of so many people." While the guard and flag team were busy lining up, Dougan whispered Randolph.
"Sorry, I really can't help it, as soon as I see the head of state...beep" Randolph blew his nose hard.
"I understand your feelings, Randolph, but don’t forget that you are a military adjutant to the Führer, and also a SS officer. Your every move represents the image of the Führer. Now I order you to give immediately I went to the convoy and waited. When the head of state has finished reviewing the honor guard, as soon as I send a signal, you will immediately let the convoy drive over." Dagen finished patted Randolph on the shoulder and stretched out his hand in the direction of the convoy.
"But..." Randolph wanted to struggle a bit, how lively it is here.
"Lieutenant Colonel Randolph." Daogen's face sank.
"I see, I'll go right away." Randolph hurriedly saluted Dogen, turned around and ran towards the convoy like a flee.
