v3 Chapter 44： bombing

"Even if the wings are broken, the heart will look toward the horizon like wings."-Yugoslavian poet

On the evening of March 27th, the Yugoslav army shot down an American F-117a stealth aircraft. The Chief of the General Staff of the Yugoslav Army Oytanich held a press conference to announce the news and said, please don’t ask how it shot down. , This is a military secret.

At the candlelight concert on the evening of the 28th, people can be said to be rejoicing. A speaker took the stage and said: "Sorry, Yankees, we shot down your f-117a. We didn't know it was invisible."

On April 1st, the bombing by the United States and NATO has intensified and entered the fourth stage. In addition to continuing to bomb military targets and destroying the active forces of the Yugoslav army, they began bombing the Yugoslavian political axe institutions and important civilian facilities.

NATO, which claims that it will completely destroy the Yugoslavian "war machine" at this stage. The number of bombings began to increase, the intensity and density increased, and the bombings continued almost 24 hours a day; targeted the political axe agencies and administrative departments of the Yugoslav Federation and Serbia; attacked civilian facilities, destroyed bridges, cut off electricity and water supply Equipment; intensified the attack on the capital Belgrade, Belgrade began to cut off water and electricity, and the city fell into darkness at night

Shipping from the Danube to the Black Sea was completely cut off. The fleet sailing between the two damaged bridges were unable to advance or retreat, cruising, and complaining.

The oil depot was bombed and the urban area was plunged into absolute smog for nearly a week, causing serious pollution.

The train bound for Solon, Greece was bombed and derailed, killing dozens of people.

The headquarters of the Serbian Socialist Party, located on the left bank of the Sava River in the new district of Belgrade, is the tallest building in the city of Belgrade and even in Yugoslavia. After the bombing, the exterior outline of this building was still preserved, but the interior was completely destroyed. The TV station antenna erected on the roof was still there, and NATO soon carried out a second bombing, completely destroying the antenna. This building is a symbol of Yugoslavia. The destruction of this building is to attack the faith of the Yugoslav people in the Yugoslavia, and also to attack the prestige of the ruling Serbian Socialist Party and Milosevic.

There is even a legend in the Yugoslavia that during World War II, American and German aircraft fought in the skies of Yugoslavia. An American aircraft was shot down and the pilot parachuted and landed in a village in Yugoslavia. The villagers risked their lives to rescue the American pilot, who later returned to the United States. Half a century later, American planes bombed the village, blasting it into ruins. The pilot who bombed this village may be the offspring of the pilot who was rescued by Yugoslavia 50 years ago.

Embassy of the Republic in Yugoslavia.

Lin Guozhou climbed the stairs to the zenith platform of the embassy office building. The night was deep, and many embassy staff stood rustling beside it. The fighting in the city at night was fierce, with planes passing by like meteors, anti-aircraft guns, and rapid fire. Chasing the swallow-like airplane in the sky, but falling down in a bend, the airplane bombed the target, fire and smoke rose up, and then there was a huge explosion.

Xiao Liu from the embassy talked to Lin Guozhou about the life of a librarian. His eyes were filled with the reflected light, “We go out shopping for food and vegetables, and we often encounter bombings. The Yugoslav ladies are very friendly, and some know that we are the Chinese embassy. Taking the initiative to send melons and fruits, we can still live without our money, and we can keep up with nutrition, but power and water cuts have become commonplace.”

Lin Guozhou frowned, "How long does the water and electricity cut last?"

"If NATO blows up the power plant, it will be very annoying. It will take a long time to repair. If the equipment is imported, it will be even more difficult. I have seen a kind of graphite bomb used by the NATO Air Force. The canned box was thrown in the air over the high-voltage line and exploded at a low altitude. There were wires thinner than hair scattered in the box. Hey, this kind of wire was placed on the live wire according to the magnetic name, and the zero wire at the other end, and immediately short-circuited and burned the power generation equipment of the transformer! We have generators, but we can only supply electricity for a limited time in an emergency! As for water, when there is water supply, each of our homes, large and small basins, are filled with water, even in the bathtub, sometimes for a week. Can't take a shower!"

"Gradually, everyone became accustomed to bombing and became more courageous. We all wanted to observe the battle scenes on the ground with our own eyes, but we often ran up to see them. However, Ambassador Pan has asked us not to'watch the battle' on the roof of the building. This is not Minister Lin. Specially requested to come up once, we only came, you will leave the opening and return home the day after tomorrow, you must pay attention to your safety!"

Lin Guozhou nodded, turning around and looking at the city where fireballs were rising from time to time. You can see the stars late at night, but this place has become a spring ravaged by war.

There was a low whistling, and the wind suddenly raged, and the expressions of the surrounding librarians changed, and at the same time they pounced on the ground, "Lie down!"

A cruise missile fluttered past them, and Lin Guozhou's windbreaker danced, and was rustled by the wind.

The missile shot into a few hundred meters away, in a hotel next to the Danube, Boom! With a sound, the glass and bricks were extinguished in smoke. The damage of these glass pieces, and even the distance the bricks were crushed and flew out, was accurately calculated by this cruise missile launched by the NATO war machine.

After the rushing shock wave passed, the lying librarians stood up one after another and looked at Lin Guozhou standing in front of him with admiration.

Xiao Liu was filled with righteous indignation, "Damn NATO, that hotel I've been to! Every Saturday there is a handicraft fair, and the owner there will buy me a glass of local beer. There are Serbian girls dancing and nightingale-like ones at night. The singing is gone!"

Lin Guozhou patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and turned around and said, "I will leave the day after tomorrow. I will definitely bring your expectations back to China and place the hopes of the people of the motherland on your safety. You are here. , We must ensure safety!"

A staff of librarians looked at the minister gratefully at the same time, recalling these days and nights, and their hearts were full of excitement. They looked forward to this land with affection, and they also looked forward to their own country, the day on the front line of battle, In these post stations under the cities where war is filled with rubble every day, everyone who has stayed here has something more difficult to give up.

Before returning to China, Lin Guozhou had exchanged opinions with many envoys, and everyone was not very optimistic about the situation.

NATO’s air strikes have been going on for more than half a month, military targets have been bombed several times, and there are very few civilian facilities to be bombed by NATO, and the Yugoslav Federation has yet to give in.

The bombing has become a trend of riding a tiger, and stopping the bombing means failure. This is a responsibility that the leaders of the United States and NATO cannot bear. The Yugoslavia has not yet reached its end and can still support it. Under this circumstance, NATO cannot stop the bombing, and must bite the bullet and expand the bombing, create more sensational effects, more bloodshed, and shake the determination of the Yugoslav Federation to resist.

It was also in this situation that Minister Lin Guozhou's visit with plenipotentiary powers ended and he returned to China.

Before boarding the plane, Lin Guozhou contacted Ambassador Pan using a special phone, "How are the negotiations going on over there?"

"The red beret is very cooperative and the process is speeding up. I believe there will be results soon. I believe this time will give the motherland a satisfactory account!"

The third branch of Su Can's in Xiahai City was also opened. The location was chosen on the ramp of City No. 1 Middle School. There were a lot of shops to be rented here, and the two shops were combined. , And borrowed one hundred thousand from his uncle Zeng Quanming. At the family meeting, her aunt Yin Shuying didn’t agree with him, “Your family’s income looks really good now. The two stores add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year’s profit is not a problem. Why do you want to open a store? Don’t you know that sometimes more stores are opened, but it’s not a good thing. Maybe this place will drag down your other two stores’ income and cause losses!"

"When we opened the second store, we had this idea, but now it is obvious that the problem is not big. There are indeed a few small shops in Yizhong, but the shops are very small and the things they sell are also small. It's not all stationery, it looks unprofessional, ours is more professional! I personally inspected the port environment there, the flow of people and various factors, there is reason to believe that it is better than the store at the entrance of Sanzhong." Mother Zeng Ke Now it is slowly changing, and his speech is more organized, and even the word "professional" that Su Can often talks about is used.

We must believe that the business here will be better than others. Why believe it is because of professionalism.

Yin Shuying also made the final decision, Zeng Na smiled beside her, "Don't watch my aunt talking, I'm afraid this matter has already passed through Su Can!"

Zeng Ke smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, I am optimistic about my son's vision. We must believe what he said!"

Zeng Na stared at Su Can with an expression of "You dote!", but her eyes were full of smiles. Su Can was already a little grateful. It seemed that Zeng Na didn't report the ambiguity between herself and Tang Ma. Otherwise, with my mother's and aunt's keenness for this kind of thing, although his performance in school now causes little backlash, their nagging alone is enough to crush people.

In addition, his eldest uncle is still a bit old-fashioned after all. He may not care about his involvement in the management of his parents, but he still has great opinions on the aspect of premature love.

Zeng Quanming nodded slightly. The reason why he was able to take out his stock investment fund and continue to invest, actually knew that the reason why Zeng Ke and Su Licheng were so aggressively expanded was also closely related to Su Can.

If it is said that the excellent essay in the country, the excellent grades admitted to the first middle school, the high score at the end of the term and even the current three good student awards, these are all concentrated on Su Can's body. If he was still a dream before, he Now I have to face up to my nephew, saying that I can reach the high position of Director of Construction and Director of the Municipal Construction Committee. Thinking carefully and sorting out the context, he is inextricably linked with him.

Zeng Quanming didn’t use the look of monsters to face Su Can. He hoped that Zeng Ke and Su Licheng could go on according to their own ideas. Therefore, with the support, most of what a person does is to drive for life. It is a last resort, but once you have accurately grasped what you want to do and what is suitable for doing, the explosion of that kind of energy will be endless.

It’s just like Zeng Quanming would joke that Su Licheng is just a small employee, and the joke about Zeng Ke is not even a job. The joke about Su Can is useless compared to other sisters, but this does not mean that after they make changes, they can’t get out of the other. Kind of breathtaking life.

Zeng Quanming likes to hide behind a pair of reading glasses all his life, laughs at the world biased, looks at people's warmth, likes to compare other people’s children to measure the future gains and losses of his children, such as the future development of the daughter of the old Xiao family. To what extent can the son of the old Zhang family climb in the institution, but in front of his own nephew, for the first time, he felt that he could not see through and could not guess.
