Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

1955 years 2 months,

Egypt's Western Desert,

Five off-road vehicles and five dump trucks of the Haizhou National Mining Prospecting Team rolled over the weathered sandstone. In the ochre-red dust raised, the warning lights of the on-board gamma-ray detectors kept flashing.

Prospecting team leader Zhou Zhenglong wiped the sand off his goggles with a canvas glove and looked at the violently fluctuating phosphorus readings on the dashboard - deep in the desert, some power that had been dormant for billions of years was calling.

The convoy stopped at a cracked salt crust, and more than 20 team members quickly began work. The geologist placed the portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer close to the rock layer, and the peak of phosphorus on the instrument display jumped like a heartbeat; the sampling team swung the geological hammer to chisel the gray-green rock layer, and mother-of-pearl apatite crystals were looming among the flying debris. "This is a phosphorite-rich layer!" Zhou Zhenglong squatted down and used a magnifying glass to observe the blue-purple fluorescence embedded in the crystals, which is the unique optical characteristic of phosphate.

At noon, the scorching sun heated the sand to 60 degrees Celsius. Technicians debugged the ground-penetrating radar under the awning, and the electronic screen gradually showed an abnormal density layer 30 meters underground - like a winding phosphate vein extending in the sandstone. With the roar of the hydraulic drill, the 10-centimeter-diameter core tube slowly drilled into the stratum. When the first section of the gray-brown core was extracted, the onlookers exclaimed: the cross-section of the core was full of honeycomb holes, and the fine apatite crystals glowed with a faint blue phosphorescence in the sun.

As dusk fell, the tungsten lamps in the makeshift laboratory pierced the desert darkness. The technicians put rock chips into an atomic absorption spectrometer, and the characteristic spectrum of phosphorus burned into a fiery orange-red on the oscilloscope.

The truck has been filled with samples, which have been registered and marked in detail. These samples will be sent to the Haizhou National Mineral Testing Center within half a month for more detailed analysis and testing!

Since the two countries reached a strategic cooperation, the two sides signed an agreement on mineral resources because the Egyptian government has no money. Egypt will use minerals to pay for bank loans, military purchases, and even trade deficits!

The Resources Department of the Ministry of Finance and Materials of Haizhou State has mobilized the technical forces of many domestic companies and universities, formed 13 prospecting teams, and came to Egypt to conduct prospecting!

In just one month, the exploration teams have made great progress. The project has initially discovered a number of mineral resources including gold, oil, natural gas, phosphate, etc.

In the next step, Haizhou State and the Egyptian government will determine which minerals are worth mining based on the detection and analysis reports. According to the agreement between the two countries, Haizhou State will establish a joint resource company with Egypt. Haizhou State will be responsible for providing technology, funds and equipment, and will hold a 55% stake in the joint venture!

The additional condition imposed by the Egyptian government is that the smelter must be built in Egypt and local people must be employed to work in the factory!

It’s a win-win situation!

Yin Xinjun has repeatedly emphasized in internal meetings that, except for the motherland, Haizhou State has no obligation to pay a penny to any other country for nothing. Between countries, interests must be exchanged!

Since the beginning of the new year, a large number of Haizhou people have rushed to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Emirate of Sharjah!

There were 145 prospecting teams like Zhou Zhenglong’s alone!

In addition, there are businessmen engaged in trade and opening companies, workers engaged in production and processing, and construction business,

Of course, more importantly, there is also the "Mulan!" aircraft carrier battle group from Haizhou State!

The main purpose of the Mulan aircraft carrier's trip is to pay military visits to the three countries and conduct joint combat exercises with the Egyptian Navy.

Time quickly came to February 2th.

The sun is scorching in the Red Sea, and the blue sea surface is sparkling.

The Mulan aircraft carrier battle group of the Haizhou Navy came in a mighty manner. The huge Mulan aircraft carrier was like a mobile steel castle on the sea, shining with a cold luster in the sun. The surrounding frigates and destroyers closely guarded it, each performing their own duties.

At the same time, the Egyptian Navy's four patrol boats also quickly gathered towards the designated sea area. Although they were small in size, they were agile and moved swiftly through the waves.

After the two sides met in the designated exercise area, the joint military exercise officially kicked off. The first was a formation sailing exercise. The Mulan aircraft carrier battle group and the Egyptian Navy's patrol boats formed different formations according to the established plan. The Mulan aircraft carrier was in the center, the frigates and destroyers were fanned out, and the four patrol boats were flexibly interspersed among them. They were like well-trained dancers, changing into neat and orderly formations on the vast sea, plowing out white tracks.

Next was the communication coordination exercise. On the sea, radio waves were transmitted rapidly between the ships. The advanced communication equipment on the Haizhou aircraft carrier cooperated with the communication system on the Egyptian patrol boat, and the commanders of both sides exchanged instructions and information clearly through the radio. Although there were certain differences in language and equipment, through the early running-in and preparation, the information was transmitted accurately and efficiently, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire exercise process.

Then came the simulated air defense drill. Suddenly, a low roar was heard in the sky, simulating an enemy plane attack. The Mulan aircraft carrier battle group quickly activated the air defense early warning system, and the radar spun rapidly, searching for the target.

The anti-aircraft guns on the frigates and destroyers were raised high, ready to meet the enemy at any time. The Egyptian patrol boats were not to be outdone, and the anti-aircraft weapons on the boats were ready. When the "enemy plane" entered the attack range, guns and cannons rang out instantly, the sea was filled with smoke, and tongues of fire shot into the sky, successfully simulating the repulsion of the invading enemy.

During the anti-submarine exercise, a simulated enemy submarine quietly dived into the seabed. The Mulan aircraft carrier battle group and the Egyptian patrol boat immediately launched a search. A helicopter took off from the aircraft carrier, hovered low over the sea, dropped sonar buoys, and searched for traces of the submarine.

The frigates and patrol boats fanned out on the sea, using their own sonar equipment for detection. After an intense search, they finally locked onto the location of the "enemy" submarine. Afterwards, the ships quickly launched anti-submarine weapons, causing huge splashes on the sea, successfully "annihilating" the "enemy" submarine.

The last part was the maritime rescue drill. A simulated ship in distress sent out a distress signal, and the Mulan aircraft carrier battle group and the Egyptian patrol boat responded quickly. A helicopter took off quickly, rushed to the distressed ship, dropped a rescue rope, and hoisted the injured to a safe area.

At the same time, the patrol boat also quickly sailed towards the distressed ship, and the rescuers on the boat boarded the ship to start firefighting and rescue work. The entire rescue process was tense and orderly, fully demonstrating the coordinated combat capabilities and humanitarian spirit of both sides.

As the last exercise was completed, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sea, covering the entire fleet with a layer of golden glory. This joint military exercise was a complete success. The ships of both sides lined up neatly on the sea and saluted each other, bringing this historic cooperation to a successful conclusion.
