    ¡°Boom~~~¡±

    With a roar of thunder, heavy rain poured down, instantly blurring the mountains in the distance. Looking at the rain falling like a stream outside the window, Mendinger's yellow eyebrows couldn't help but  Wrinkled, he immediately turned his head, sat upright on the chair, put his hands on the typewriter and quickly typed out a string of beautiful English characters:

    On April 17, 1987, precipitation continued in the southern foothills of the Himalayas. The roads here were so muddy that motor vehicles could not travel at all. They could only rely on manpower and livestock to barely maintain external roads.

    Unfortunately, last night, a sudden flash flood destroyed the only road leading to the outside. Not only the local people but also the troops stationed here were trapped.

    According to local officials, they have enough food and other living supplies for a month, and the garrison that rotated some time ago also brought a batch. In comparison, the situation in China across the border is even more severe, because the average altitude of the Himalayas behind them is  Six thousand to seven thousand meters.

    The sudden rainfall not only destroyed the bridges, roads and farmland here, but also cut off the external channels that were maintained on the opposite side. China only has 24 S-70 "Black Hawk" helicopters that can fly over the towering Himalayas.  .

    But it is obvious that the number of these helicopters is seriously insufficient and cannot cope with the increasingly serious flash floods.

    For this reason, the local garrison commander said this morning that if China is unable to provide rescue to the disaster area, they are willing to help China carry out rescue out of humanitarianism.

    Although I would like to see the local garrison helping the Chinese side, the reality is not optimistic. Although local officials and garrison officers swear that they have sufficient supplies, even if the roads are washed away, life will not be affected. According to  My observation is that the local residents have very little food and salt left, but local officials and the garrison have no intention of distributing supplies.

    Of course, as a foreign correspondent, my supplies are guaranteed, but the price is three times more expensive than before, and I only charge pounds or US dollars.

    There are various signs that the local situation is not as optimistic as those officials and military officers said. I will report the specific situation in detail later.

    ? Reuters reporter, Martin Mendinger, town of Uruger.

    After typing the last word, Mendinger took down the press release and read it carefully twice. If he found no problems, he prepared to go to the telegraph room in the back to send the press release to the Reuters branch in New Delhi.  The agency then goes through the branches to form formal news and sends it to the world under the name Reuters.

    To this end, Mendinger took out a small bottle of diesel from under the table and poured it into the small generator. Then he used all his strength to start the diesel generator. After waiting for five or six minutes, when the generator set was preheated,  Then the power was turned on and the radio transmitting device was started.

    But just when Mendinger was busy and could finally send the report, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a tall man wearing a raincoat broke in. Mendinger frowned in displeasure.  , just about to spit out fragrance and scold the visitor out.

    I heard the intruder speak first: "A Skylark 3 crashed on the way here, and all four people on board were killed."

    Hearing this, Mendinger immediately took off the headphones from his head, stood up from the chair, and asked the visitor with a surprised face: "Really?"

    The visitor took off the rain hat on his head, revealing a bearded and weathered face, and smiled proudly at Mendinger: "Our helicopters produced in France, the news is naturally very accurate."

    ¡°Is there any more specific situation?¡± Mendinger asked.

    However, the visitor took out a press release from his pocket and said unceremoniously: "Send this to the AFP branch in New Delhi. I will tell you whatever you want."

    Mendinger did not pick it up, but looked at the person with a wary expression: "Mr. Marcelo, don't tell me that your AFP is so poor that you don't even have a transmitter."

    Marcelo spread his hands indifferently: "Indeed, they did not give me a radio, but a satellite phone. But without electricity, that thing is just a brick, and it can't be thrown far."

    After hearing this, Mendinger didn't know what to say. It was good that the disaster did not expand further before last night. At least there was electricity in this place. But since the disaster became serious, the power facilities have been completely damaged. As for what  When it will recover, no one knows.

    Not to mention Marcelo¡¯s satellite phone, even Mendinger¡¯s own is no different from a brick.

    Fortunately, Reuters, where Mendinger worked, once traveled all over the South Asian subcontinent through its status as a suzerain country, and learned about certain places.The level of understanding is even more detailed than that of the local government. Therefore, in addition to advanced satellite phones, Patentinger was also equipped with traditional small diesel generators and telegraph sending equipment.

    In this way, Mendinger can continuously send first-line reports to his superiors. Marcelo does not have this convenience, but he is not the kind of person to get into trouble. He is a foreign correspondent. Who has something to take advantage of?  Son, of course he knew what he was doing.

    So after I finished writing the press release, I immediately put on my raincoat and went to find him, just like my own home, without any embarrassment.

    "Okay, but the news about the crash of Skylark 3 is not enough." They are both foreign correspondents from top Western news agencies. Although they compete, they belong to the same camp and it is common for them to help each other, so Mendinger took over from Marcel  Luo's press release, but there was no intention of discounting the conditions.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still have two bottles of good wine. I¡¯ll bring them to you later.¡± Marcelo said quickly.

    After Mendinger heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, Marcelo suddenly lowered his head and said: "Actually, we can cooperate. In fact, this disaster has caused short-term air transportation in China and here."  Exposed.¡±

    With that said, he pushed the press release into Mendinger's hand. When Mendinger saw Marcelo's press release, his eyes immediately widened and he nodded repeatedly: "This angle is good, this angle is good."

    Before he finished speaking, he walked to the transmitter, put on the headset, and soon followed the ticking sound, and a string of characters flew to New Delhi along the radio waves.

    An article titled "Small multi-purpose aircraft is the key" was distributed to the world through Reuters and AFP. Other places were fine. New Delhi immediately smiled after reading this article. They have small multi-purpose aircraft in their hands.  Yes, not only does it exist, but it is also completely domestically produced. Since even powerful countries like Britain and France believe that this kind of equipment is the key, then what are you waiting for? Just use it.

    Not long after Mendinger and Marcelo's reports were officially released to the world, New Delhi announced that the Dornier-228 small transport aircraft, which was introduced from the Federal Republic of Germany a few years ago and has been domestically produced since last year, will  Participate in disaster relief missions along the northern border.

    As soon as the news came out, all parties were in an uproar!
