Chapter 869

"According to the latest news just received from the seismic network, there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 on the Richter scale in the Karakorum mountain in the border area. The epicenter was located at the Karakorum mountain pass with a latitude of 35.2 N and a longitude of 78 E. at present, there is no news of casualties."

Just when sumo and Hashimoto experienced the shock of the earthquake, the earthquake monitoring systems around the world have calculated the magnitude and epicenter coordinates of the strong earthquake at the Karakoram pass and published them through the news media.

For most people, the above geographical name and coordinates are very strange, but they are very familiar to the international observers and media reporters who pay close attention to the trend of Karakoram mountains, because the coordinate center is only surrounded by the border posts of China and New Delhi.

Moreover, the Shenxian Bay, the observatory and the sanliying sentries of the Chinese side seem to be closer to the epicenter of the earthquake, and the damage should be more serious.

New Delhi's sb airstrip is also in the affected area, but because it is 400 kilometers away from the epicenter, the damage should not be serious.

But this is not the most important one. The key problem is that the game between several sides on the border has been broken because of the sudden earthquake.

Because of this, observers and media reporters from all over the world immediately changed their attitude and began to be generally optimistic about New Delhi. The reason is very simple. Developing countries also do not have the ability to rescue people from the plateau. Naturally, those who suffer less from the disaster have a greater advantage.

What? Military exercises?

Come on, the artillery fire is fierce. Is there a natural earthquake? Are the soldiers brave enough to withstand the collision between the Indian Ocean plate and the Pacific plate?

Therefore, many international observers predict that this earthquake will be fatal in essence to the strategic attack of a big East Asian country on the northwest border, because it means that the advantage of a big East Asian country in the Karakoram pass will disappear overnight, and even there will be no possibility of reconstruction in a short period of time.

And New Delhi can take advantage of this opportunity to gain absolute advantage in the northwest border, and even easily cut off the China Pakistan highway in the conflict with neighboring Pakistan, which is a strategic channel vital to Pakistan, so as to hold Pakistan's throat strategically.

Even some western media, with the title of the earthquake changing the geographical pattern, exaggerate the luck of New Delhi and the misfortune of a big country in the East.

In fact, the situation of sb airstrip in New Delhi's actual control line is similar to that expected by international observers and media reporters, except that a few simple wooden houses collapsed, the gravel paved airport pavement cracked, some erected communication antennas collapsed, some people were injured, and no one died.

Communication with the outside world was restored less than an hour after the earthquake.

In contrast, shenxianwan, the observatory and the three Chinese outposts in sanliying, which are closer to the epicenter of the earthquake, have completely lost contact with the outside world.

But does this mean that sb airstrip is really safe?

Of course not. Although the airport itself suffered little loss, the external roads were completely blocked by landslides caused by the earthquake and frequent aftershocks.

If other countries are faced with this kind of situation, they may be blinded. Road blocking is tantamount to severing the important lifeline. In high altitude areas, it's like watching their own people die.

But in New Delhi, including sumo and Hashimoto, almost no one in the sb airstrip worried about nearly 300 people. The reason is very simple. As early as the 1970s, New Delhi set up helicopter troops dedicated to plateau areas.

The legal system sa315b "llama" helicopter is a world-famous special helicopter for plateau, and it keeps many world records.

Among them, the highest lift limit of the helicopter reached 12400 meters in 1972, which has not been broken by other models.

Moreover, sa315b "llama" helicopter is also very powerful in practical application, and has played a key role in the rescue of mountaineers climbing Mount Everest many times in the 1980s.

One of the rescue operations reached an altitude of 7000 meters, and the sa315b "llama" helicopter still arrived at the rescue site easily, successfully rescuing the mountaineers trapped there.

With such brilliant achievements, sumo and Hashimoto, who are trapped in sb airstrip, have no worries at all, because the highland helicopter troops in New Delhi are not only professional but also excellent in performance.

If you look at a big country in the East opposite, what can it be? Black Hawk? It's a good plateau helicopter with a practical lift limit of nearly 7000 meters. Theoretically, it can be used in the rescue of shenxianwan post.

The problem is that the Black Hawk is located in the southwest of Qinghai Tibet Plateau, more than 2000 kilometers away from the border area. Does it fly slowly?

It is estimated that when the Black Hawk comes to the air, the officers and soldiers of Shenxian Bay and other sentries will be frozen into ice sculptures.

What's left? dolphin?

Come on, this thing has a theoretical limit of 6000 meters, but actually it can fly to 4000 meters, and the power of the engine can't keep up with it. When it reaches 5000 meters, it's basically empty, and it can't transport rescue materials?In addition to these two helicopters, the Russian Mi 17 is more clear than a big eastern country. It has no plateau take-off and landing capability at all. The corresponding special version is still on the drawing of Russian Mi Li Design Bureau.

What will a big country in the East do in the end?

"I believe they will use the sea of people tactics to get through the blocked road a little bit." Sumo touched the gauze wrapped around his arm with his hand, his face flushed, excited to tell his point of view.

No wonder this reporter was so excited. The sudden earthquake not only changed the situation in the border, but also reversed the fate of sumo, a senior journalist in the newspaper trust.

We should know that sumo has contributed to such a big fight this time. The reason why he is so helpless is to pave the way for him to enter the political arena in the future. This kind of use of the border situation to incite nationalism is the simplest and most effective way.

It's a pity that sumo thought very well, but underestimated the determination of all parties. As Pakistan and a big power in the East held exercises one after another, sumo's lies were torn to pieces in an instant.

If it goes on like this, it doesn't matter if his reputation is ruined once the window paper is pierced, but those gold owners who expect him to stir up emotions and make a fortune behind him will lose even their underpants. It's strange that he won't be crushed to death at that time.

So when VOA reporter Hashimoto is ready to publish the real situation, sumo is pleading.

It seems that master Shenniu really favored him. Just when there was nothing he could do, an earthquake changed everything. Now, Hashimoto not only destroyed the previous manuscript, but also embellished the collapse of a big eastern country he concocted a few days ago and sent it to VOA.

VOA has published the full text of the news just received, and specially called to express its thanks to him. As for New Delhi, a large number of domestic media reprinted it. For a moment, sumo's reputation rose against the trend, and even some people called on SUMO to run for the next leader of New Delhi.

Knowing the news, sumo drifted away in an instant. Regardless of his own injury, he took Hashimoto and talked with him. Hashimoto couldn't see the goods in his heart, but the situation made heroes. Moreover, sumo's point of view was somewhat reasonable, so he nodded: "I've been to the border area, where is the road worse than here, and this earthquake estimated their loss should be more than expected It's bigger. "

"It should be much bigger. Apart from other things, does a big country in the East have a special helicopter in the border area that can transport and supply 5000 meters high? No, But we have 15 sa315b "llama" helicopters to support the transport line

After a sip of black tea, sumomi complacently said: "although New Delhi is a developing country, it is an indisputable fact that New Delhi is better than a big country in the East. Just as Shanghai stock market is inferior to Bombay, there is also a huge gap in plateau air transport capacity..."

"Look, what's that?"

Sumo is still beautiful here. He is ready to make a good speech to let the opposite little Japan have a long experience. But before he finishes his speech, he is interrupted by the screamed soldiers from New Delhi. Sumo is not satisfied and pushes the door open to scold him. But before he speaks, he is completely stunned by the scene in front of him. The words that he wants to scold suddenly change their tone in his throat: "they …… They How did they get there? "
