Chapter 112: New equipment of the Russian army?
February 2, around 17:7 p.m.
After a short rest in the nearest city of Budyonnovsk, Yang Ren and Claire drove to a nearby air force base.
The chemical plant, which is suspected to be a large-scale research facility of Umbrella, is located less than 200 kilometers away from here.
After contacting his own rapid reaction force via satellite phone, Yang Ren contacted Vice President Adam, hoping that he could provide some air transport support.
Adam was also very helpful. While contacting the Russian leader, Putin the Great, he arranged two strategic transport planes to transport personnel and equipment.
Chris, Jill and Steve took Anna to the government first, arranged a place for her to go, and then reunited with Yang Ren.
Yang Ren and Claire came here following the instructions of the Russian Federation. The transport plane dispatched by Adam will land at this air force base.
When the sentry at the gate of the base saw the license plate, he decisively let the car pass and immediately went to inform his superiors.
Soon, the person in charge of the base came with two soldiers and an interpreter to meet us.
Since the 08 Regulation had not yet been signed, the Russian army's design was not the "little green men" that are widely known in later generations.
The head of the base was wearing a green thick service uniform, a classic Russian military hat and a pair of square-framed glasses. He was about 40 years old.
The two soldiers and the translator were wearing military green Gorkha R suits and warm balaclavas.
Both soldiers had an AK-74M on their backs.
"Welcome, American friends!"
The head of the base greeted Yang Ren warmly in Russian as soon as he came up, and extended his hand to shake hands with him.
But there was something strange in the look he gave Yang Ren and Claire, as if he was curious as to why the two young people were still wearing such thin clothes in such a cold day.
It’s true that young people are full of temper.
As he spoke, the person in charge showed a hint of appreciation on his face.
"Actually, I can speak Russian."
Yang Ren smiled slightly, responded in Russian, and shook the other person's hand.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge became obviously happier and enthusiastically invited Yang Ren and Claire to enter the base.
But after entering the base, the person in charge didn't talk much.
While walking in front of the two people, he would look back from time to time.
It seemed as if they were trying to ensure that the two "friends" from the United States would not leak the secrets of the base.
Claire followed closely behind Yang Ren, and together they looked at the structure of the base.
This seems to be a medium-sized air force base. On the runway not far away, there are Russian-made fighter jets, mostly MiG-29 "Fulcrum", and some Su-25 "Frogfoot" attack aircraft.
There are many hangars next to the runway, but the hangar doors are closed and it is impossible to see what is inside.
In addition, there are a large number of Mi-24 "Jaguar" attack helicopters, Mi-8 "Hippo" medium transport helicopters and Mi-26 "Halo" heavy transport helicopters.
Originally, the biological leak accident occurred in Raccoon City, which is the mainland of the United States.
As a competitor, the Russian Federation is of course very happy to see such a scene and has openly condemned the umbrella.
It’s just that since Umbrella’s branch in the Russian Federation has always been well-behaved and the domestic economy is not very prosperous, the Russian Federation still needs Umbrella to create economic benefits for them.
After the Russian federal government ordered the closure of all overt umbrella facilities, it no longer paid much attention to them.
It was not until yesterday's biological and chemical leak in the village was discovered by Chris, Yang Ren and others that the Russian federal government learned that there was actually a hidden large-scale research facility in the Caucasus region.
The supreme leader of the Russian Federation, Putin the Great, was immediately furious and threatened to completely destroy the Umbrella of Protection in the Russian Federation.
It is said that the 4th Guards Kantemirovka Andropov Tank Division, stationed in the Chechen Republic and responsible for maintaining stability, immediately responded to the emperor's call and dispatched part of its troops and equipment to participate in this operation.
However, due to the long distance, the mechanized troops need time to be dispatched and transported, so they have not yet arrived at the destination.
Not long after, Yang Ren and Claire followed the base leader to the command room.
After entering the command room, the first thing that catches your eye is a makeshift map hanging on the wall.
This map shows the specific location of the chemical plant and the topography of its surrounding areas.
"This is the destination you need to go to for this mission."
The head of the base pointed at the map and spoke to the two of them.
"Based on the intelligence we have so far, this chemical plant seems to be developing a new type of BOW."
"At the same time, this chemical plant is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a relatively wide plain in the northwest."
Hearing this, Yang Ren and Claire looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.
During the day today, Yak also sent a piece of information saying that this chemical plant was developing a new BOW.
Umbrella plans to perfect it and put it into war-torn areas of the world for actual combat testing, hoping to sell it for a good price.
This information is said to have been provided by an unknown person in Russia.
Not long after, a soldier rushed into the command room with a document in his hand and a hurried look on his face.
He completely ignored the presence of Yang Ren and Claire, walked straight to the head of the base, and reported some things to him in a low voice.
After listening to the soldier's report, the base leader looked at the contents of the document in the soldier's hand again, and his expression did not change.
He turned his gaze to the translator beside him and waved for him to come closer.
When the translator came closer, the head of the base said a few words to him in a very low voice.
His voice was so soft that even Yang Ren couldn't hear what he was saying.
But from the lip movements, I could barely tell that he was saying something like "new equipment...testing..."
"Understood, Comrade Colonel!"
After listening, the interpreter nodded slightly and saluted him with a standard military salute.
After the head of the base turned and left, he turned around and said in fluent English with a smile:
"Our commander has something to attend to, so I will take you two on a tour of the base."
The two nodded and followed the translator back to the command room, while the two soldiers followed closely behind them.
What Yang Ren didn't expect was that the person in charge of this base was actually a colonel.
The next rank above colonel is major general, and the corresponding position is division commander, which is basically a cadre at the department level or deputy department level in the country.
There is actually nothing worth visiting in the base. It is nothing more than taking a look at the daily life of the soldiers and then strolling around with the interpreter.
Even at a medium-sized air force base, many areas are off-limits.
buzzing-
After walking around and returning to the door of the command room, a noisy roar of a turboshaft engine suddenly came from above their heads.
Everyone looked up and saw three huge helicopters roaring past their heads under the cover of darkness and blizzard.
Even the experienced Yang Ren could only barely distinguish that two of them were somewhat similar to the American AH-64 "Apache".
The leading one seemed to be a twin-rotor coaxial contra-propeller aircraft, and the noise was particularly noisy.
"Excuse me, Comrade Translator, what is that?"
Yang Ren asked the translator tentatively.
Combined with what the head of the base said before, he actually already had the answer in his mind, but...
The relevant models of equipment do not seem to have been mass-produced and put into service at this point in time, so it is impossible to determine for the time being.
"I'm sorry, my friend, I can't tell you this."
The translator responded apologetically.
It was obvious that he had no intention of telling Yang Ren and Claire about the matter.
The latter two expressed their understanding and did not ask any further questions.
