Lt Cmdr. Yun Pi Lao sighted the Ning Hai on its patrolflight over the south chinese sea. Fortunately he kept the contact until he could transmit a position signal. Unfortunately he was shot shortly thereafter and had to make a emergency landing. Thereupon immediately two further machines were sent into the area, in order to lose the ship in no more case. At the same time a combat force ran out of zhanjiang, in order to hit the Ning Hai . The chinese task force consists of the heavy cruiser Hong Lung, the both light cruisers Wenshan and Manning, the heavy ships become secured of the four torpedo boats of the Huangfen Class (600 - 603).

The Chinese government decided after a long, careful examination to begin with the building of a railway route for the Kruckenberg' motor coach. The route is to lead first from Beijing to Nanjing, a later development to Shanghai and Hong Kong is in planning.
With a solemn ceremony the Chinese Minister for transport and traffic Ming Pi Wai opens the construction work of the railway route with a symbolic cut of the spade.

China stated that its engines lose much power at heights starting from 7000m .
For this reason this engine was provided with an additional loader. This provides for an
additional loading of the engine starting from a height of 6000m.

[ OOC: I think "Heights loader " would be a better word, not elevator loader (damned Translation program ;-) ]

The selected pilots [Major Shu Guang, Lieutenant Yang Liwei, Sublieutenant Nie Haisheng, Sublieutenant Chen Huai Sheng, Ensing Fei Junlong and Ensing Liang Teh Pei] fly with a machine of the EURASIA aviation society to Mumbai.
