Happy Children's Day to everyone Pokhara Air Force Base.
The base is the second largest air force base in Nepal and is located on the east side of the Pokhara Valley, less than 20 kilometers away from Pokhara city.
It is worth mentioning that this is also a tourist attraction.
Because not far from the air force base, there is the residence of the Nepal Aerobatic Team.
There are air performances open to the public, and they are basically retired pilots of the Air Force.
In order to attract Chinese tourists, Nepal is also working hard.
But today, the place is closed to the outside world.
Roadblocks have been set up on the road five kilometers outside the base, with signs saying "Business temporarily closed, tourists stopped".
Sharma and the others were air force officers, so naturally they were not hindered.
After returning to the base, they reported to the brigade, and the brigade leader asked them to prepare for attack and not go out.
Then they saw pilots returning from vacation one after another.
That day, when everyone was ready for dinner, a military meeting was held in the base.
After the base commander announced the order to fight against Marat tomorrow, the entire venue burst into warm applause.
The next morning, the pilots all gathered in the mess hall for breakfast.
Pilots eat well, so the breakfast before the sortie is naturally very rich.
Crispy rabbit, assorted platter, pot-roasted carp, mutton steamed buns, Peking duck, green pepper shredded pork, tomato meat slices, spicy chicken, dry-fried prawns, hot and sour meatballs, sweet and sour carp, hand-caught mutton, grilled sausages, etc.
Wait, there are twenty kinds of meat and vegetables.
Of course, there are still local specialties, such as potatoes seasoned with spicy curry, roasted fruits seasoned with chili, etc.
Nepal's military construction is completely copied from China's, whether it is equipment or doctrine, even the food, 80% of the dishes on the menu are Chinese characteristics.
However, Nepal itself does not have a unique cooking style.
The country’s dishes are basically variations of regional Indian cooking, and some of the dishes are developed based on dietary changes in Tibet, China.
"This, this, this, and this, I want this."
Captain Sharma ordered himself a Sichuan steak, a mushroom sausage rice bowl, a Tibetan dumpling and several side dishes.
I found a seat and started eating.
The cooking method of Sichuan-style steak is somewhat different from that of Western style.
A thick slice of steak is fried to a dark golden color and exudes a rich aroma.
A circle of bright red and shiny spicy sauce is poured on the steak, and then a little fresh onions and green peppers are sprinkled on it.
Well, that hot sauce is a complete copycat version of "Lao Gan Ma" from the original time and space.
The name is still the same, but the manufacturer has been changed to Tianchu Seasoning Company.
It is currently one of Tianchu’s signature products and is particularly popular in the Ladang area.
The beef is so tender.
When Sharma takes a bite, he can feel the mellow gravy overflowing as he chews with his teeth.
A glutinous and delicious aroma with a hint of spiciness fills the entire mouth, filling the beef.
That original flavor shines through.
Before the revolution, it would have been impossible to put steak on Nepalese tables.
In this Hindu country where cows are considered sacred, beef is not allowed to be eaten.
But it was different after the revolution.
All religious dietary taboos were judged by the Revolutionary Party as decadent and backward customs and were completely abandoned.
From then on, you can eat beef, pork and anything else, and you must eat it, especially those in the government and the military must take the lead in eating it.
Those who do not eat are those who are hostile to progress and are counter-revolutionaries who infiltrate within revolutionary organizations.
The lighter ones will be forced to do forced labor, and the more serious ones will be shot.
Not only Nepal, but also other countries that implement scientific socialism.
The ruling parties there are more radical than China, and they use very drastic measures to deal with customs that are considered decadent and backward.
Their people are almost faced with the choice of whether they would rather eat beef, pork, or bullets.
Then he picked up a Tibetan dumpling and ate it.

This kind of dumpling is called "Momo".
It is said that it was introduced to Nepal from Tibet, China in ancient times.
It is similar in shape to Chinese dumplings, but the method is similar to pot stickers.
It is fried and eaten.
When dipped in hot sauce or mustard, it is somewhat similar to the northern Chinese dumplings dipped in vinegar, but the taste is different.
It is a habit of the Chinese Air Force to eat steak and other high-calorie foods before going on a mission.
Because fighting consumes a lot of energy, it is necessary to supplement these high-calorie and nutritious foods, especially steaks.
The Nepal Air Force also followed suit.
At this time, Captain Sharma heard a quarrel.
"What's going on?
There are no more apples!"
a pilot yelled angrily at the waiter.
"That's right, how can it be done without Apple?"
"We are going to war, and we must have apples.
This is the rule."
"What are you doing in logistics?
You even forgot about Apple."
I saw a dozen pilots gathered around the counter distributing fruits, shouting excitedly.
Well, this habit of having an apple before going out is also brought over from the Chinese Air Force.
At present, this habit has almost become a culture.
Whether it is the pilots of the Air Force, Hainan Airlines or Army Airlines, they must give apples to the pilots before taking off every time.
This habit was originally initiated by General Lin Shenhe, deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Air Force.
At first, it was only for the airship troops under his command.
It was homophonic for "peace", which is considered a blessing.
As a result, this habit quickly spread to the entire aviation force, and has become more and more intense until now.
Even the navy's ship soldiers, the army's tank soldiers, and even the space soldiers have fallen into this habit.
Anyway, as long as they are driving vehicles, they all have the same requirement to provide themselves with apples.
And this habit is still spreading to infantry units
So now, apples have become a standard supply for the Chinese army, just like vodka for the Russian army and chewing gum for the US military.
The military's logistics department even invested a lot of money to study how to preserve apples for a longer period of time, and also invented a special method of transporting apples.
It is estimated that even Deputy Commander Lin himself did not expect that the Apple system, which was implemented on a whim back then, would become as popular as it is now.
Seeing what China is doing, the junior troops of the People's Revolutionary League also imitated the same pattern, and even played more tricks.
For example, the pilots of the Nepal Air Force refuse to fly to the sky if they do not get apples.
The reason is that the military is probably the most superstitious group, and it has been like this since ancient times.
After a while, I saw several officers and soldiers rushing over pushing a large cart.
There were several large cardboard boxes on top.
The patterns and words on the cardboard boxes indicated that they were apples.
Nepal originally did not produce apples.
Since there was a rule, they have used the Air Force to introduce a variety of apple varieties from China.
Eight thousand hectares of apples were planted in various places to supply the army.
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
A colonel leading the team explained to the pilots: "The car that transported us apples broke down on the road and is still being repaired.
This batch of apples came from several hotels in Kathmandu.
"Assigned" At 8 o'clock, Captain Sharma got on his plane, a FAC-1 export-type "Bomb Falcon" fighter-attack aircraft produced by Guangzhou Aircraft.
FAC-1 is a propeller aircraft, of course it is not a piston propeller, but a turboprop.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Its appearance is a bit like the -51 of the original time and space, but the protruding air inlet on the belly is removed, the fuselage is slightly longer, the wing length and wing area are slightly larger, and the front is smaller.
The biggest difference is that it is equipped with two wingtip fuel tanks.
In fact, the FAC-1 is a combat attack aircraft improved on the basis of the J-9FC-8 "Peregrine".
This is an export product.
After all, for many countries, jet aircraft are a bit expensive.
Just use jets for fighter jets.
Everyone is using them, so you can’t use them.
But there is no need for attack aircraft and bombers.
Let’s save some money and use turboprops.
This fighter uses a WJ-2 B turboprop engine.
The power of this engine is 2,200 kilowatts and 2,950 horsepower.
What is rare is that the cross section is very small, so the resistance is extremely low.
When tested with no external plugs and even with the pylons removed and half of the oil, it once flew at a level flight speed of 800 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 7,000 meters.
At the same time, because the fuselage is light and the wing load is low, the flexibility and climb rate are very good.
The biggest advantage of this aircraft is that it has a lot of fuel, so it has a long range.
Relying on high-efficiency engines and a large amount of internal fuel and wingtip fuel tanks, it can fly up to 3,200 kilometers away.
When two sets of 400-liter wingtip fuel tanks, a 1,200-liter belly centerline fuel tank, and two 250-liter low-drag auxiliary fuel tanks under the wings are mounted, the total internal and external fuel volume reaches 3,700 liters, and the flight range reaches an astonishing 5,400 kilometers.
FAC-1 is a light fighter with an empty weight of 32 tons and a maximum combat weight of 67 tons.
Of course, this "light" is based on Chinese standards.
If used by European and American standards, this is a medium or even heavy propeller fighter.
Cannon and four 12mm heavy machine guns.
This aircraft has a total of 11 hardpoints, one on the belly and five on each wing.
The belly hardpoint can bear a load of 1,500 kilograms, and the underwing hardpoints can bear a load of 200 kilograms.
A total of 3,500 kilograms of load can be mounted.
When it performs attack missions, it usually hangs aerial bombs or torpedoes on the belly mounting points, and a 19-tube rocket pack on each of the ten mounting points under the wings.
If it is a combat mission, it can be replaced with missiles and other weapons.
Anyway, this kind of aircraft is very versatile.
It can be used as a fighter, light attack aircraft and lightning strike aircraft.
Of course, the biggest advantage of this kind of aircraft is that it is cheap.
According to the internal price of the People's Revolutionary League, the unit price of the standard version is only 100,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than jet aircraft.
Even allies with poor economic conditions can use it.
Lots of gear.
Jet aircraft are good, but the price is not what small countries can afford.
For a small country like Nepal, the most they can do is replace fighter jets with jets.
As for attack aircraft and bombers, they should continue to use turboprops, which are cheaper than pistons
