Chapter 79: with translation of chapter title

Qin Miao had a moment of astonishment; this wise king, could he have already completely seen through the East's plan?

Yituo is a buyer, Langtuo is also a buyer, the East will sell to them; economic development has led to the shrinkage of military orders, relying entirely on the market of the two I's.

While shouting that friends are good, on the other hand selling weapons to friends' enemies……

However, it was only a moment's hesitation, and Qin Miao spoke.

"Your Majesty, we in the East love peace; we most do not want to see the spread of war. Since the day the two I's went to war, our country has been urging both sides to remain rational; war cannot solve problems. Sitting down and resolving through peaceful dialogue is the best solution."

The King of Haisan nodded: "Hmm, your words also make sense, but…… those are all official statements; we in the Middle East have experienced many wars, sometimes negotiation is merely the act of the weak, the strong only believe in force."

"Yes, the strong only believe in force, so the strong's force needs a stage to be displayed…… Your Majesty, I seem to smell the aroma of roasted camel?"

The first half of Qin Miao's sentence made the King of Haisan momentarily stunned; upon hearing his second half, he smiled: "That's right, we have prepared roasted camel for you; this is the most sumptuous food Arabs use to entertain guests. Abdullah, take the guests to enjoy lunch; with me present, you might not be able to let loose, the coming time belongs to you young people."

"Yes, Father."

Abdullah smiled, greeting Qin Miao and Chu Miaomiao as they went to the garden behind the palace, where a huge camel was being roasted, the aroma filling the air.

Hasan, Wudai, Kuse and others, after entering the palace together, came directly here; at this moment, Wudai personally turned the grill, looking enthusiastic.

Inside the main hall.

"Your Majesty, what did Qin Miao just mean?" Hashim spoke.

"Shadamu, is the fiercest lion in the desert; in the whole region, his strength is the strongest. If Shadamu does not commit his powerful army to the fight against Langtuo, he might…… become a threat to our neighboring countries."

Hashim was momentarily stunned; could there be such a possibility?

Ordinary people cannot imagine how crazy Shadamu is; to avoid paying his debt to Ketuo, he simply seized the creditor's household!

But even the King of Haisan at this moment could not imagine such crazy behavior; however, he has always been very cautious—otherwise, Yuetu would have already erupted in war like Batuo! Thus he understood the meaning behind Qin Miao's words.

Regardless of whether such a thing will actually happen, having a powerful neighbor nearby is never a good thing; perhaps using Langtuo to consume the strength of Yituo would be a good choice.

The King of Haisan fell into thought.

On the other side, Qin Miao approached, greeted a few people, and then…… his gaze swept past the camel on the grill toward a patch of grass in the distance.

There, a helicopter was parked!

Noticing Qin Miao's gaze direction, Abdullah smiled: "My father likes to fly planes, and I do too; if you like, after we finish eating the roasted camel, I'll fly the plane and take you for a loop over this land."

The King of Haisan enjoys thrilling activities—hunting, horse racing, car racing, flying planes…… His son also inherited this trait; thus the person before us, who later became king, whenever he encounters something unpleasant, just flies a helicopter in a circle over the desert, and his mood improves upon returning.

Others, when in a bad mood, at most go for a run; this guy, when in a bad mood, just flies a plane! The difference between people is really that big!

The UH-60 helicopter, nicknamed Black Hawk, although known to ordinary people because of the name 'Black Hawk Down', in professionals' eyes the Black Hawk is absolutely the finest utility helicopter, second to none!

The East's equivalent, the Straight-20, only made its public appearance before Qin Miao's rebirth, lagging behind the Americans by a full forty or fifty years!

"Well, no need for that." Qin Miao shook his head.

Just flying a few circles myself is meaningless; it has to be something I can bring back to be truly meaningful!

Although the royal family and nobles here are wealthy, …… a helicopter is something that absolutely cannot be given away for free.

The camel was roasted; Wudai took a knife, sliced meat off the camel, and handed it to Qin Miao.

"Come, Qin, this piece is camel shoulder meat, the tastiest part!"

"Thanks. However…… I won't drink today; I drank too much last night, spouted nonsense, and caused a lot of trouble……"

"Alright, then no drinking! Tonight I'll take you to the Capital's nightclubs!"

"Cough cough…… that's even more impossible!"

Qin Miao and Chu Miaomiao spent another two days in the capital of Yuetu, then took the royal private jet to the East; this journey can be considered to have come to a perfect close.

Dalian, Yingchengzi Artillery Range.

Amid the engine's roar, the Truck Cannon slowly moved forward.

Hashim widened his eyes; indeed, just as Qin Miao said, a Mercedes-Benz chassis, with a large cannon mounted on it, the cannon is very long, estimated length about eight meters, the breech is at the rear of the vehicle, where there is also a special spade.

Base Commander Ye Chao introduced with a smile: "What you see is currently our East's most advanced Truck Cannon, the fruit of years of hard work by our related units……"

The truck stopped, and several trained gunners ran out.

"Report to commander, 2nd Squad, 3rd Battalion, 1st Company, 39th Artillery Regiment, reporting as ordered; please give instructions!"

"Deploy quickly, fire at the target range thirty kilometers away, five rounds, rapid fire!"

"Yes!"

The spade dropped, the barrel rose, the semi-automatic loader began operating—clang! —the gunner closed the breech.

Boom!

The deafening artillery sound rang out; Hasan immediately covered his ears, Hashim widened his eyes, watching the shots.

Boom, boom boom!

Five shells flew out—this speed…… really fast!

After firing, the barrel and spade almost simultaneously retracted; then…… amid the engine's roar, the vehicle drove off!

"Not bad, not bad, this Truck Cannon indeed is……" Hasan almost let slip: "the same as what we heard Bu'er Boshi and his team were working on, Uncle Hashim, we've already seen this modern Truck Cannon; can we place an order directly?"

"No, we need to go thirty kilometers out to look at the craters."

The shells have flown out, but we still don't know if they can hit thirty kilometers away!

Thus, a 212 drove into the range, bouncing in the shell craters for a full hour; ahead, several craters appeared, and the flying soil beside them fully indicates these were just blown out.

"Uncle Hashim, the range definitely reaches thirty kilometers…… let's sign the contract, there's absolutely no problem……"

Hashim didn't respond, looked around, then…… pointed to a nearby large rock.

"Fire another round; if we can blow up this large rock, we'll place the order immediately!"
