The cold wind is blowing. The weather in Greenland is quite cold. At the foot of the white mountain, the daily work in the air force base continues.

They don't know that people have been watching them on the hillside behind them. Now, these people are not only observing them, but also taking practical actions.

"It's time. Let's act." Said a man who was dressed in animal skin and looked like a living Inuit. Under the hat, there was a white face.

"OK." Several people behind them said and began to do it. They raised a long stick. At the end of the stick, there was a dead seabird hanging.

They worked together to support a ten meter long stick, and the seabird slowly moved forward and gradually leaned towards the power transmission line.

Suddenly, a spark came out of the transmission line. The spark was incomparably brilliant and splashed everywhere. The dead seabird twitched all over and quickly turned black and emitted black smoke.

The transmission line continued to spark. Suddenly, with a bang, a transmission line suddenly burned and fell down.

success!

Several people holding the stick quickly retracted the stick. At this time, their hearts were trembling. It was thousands of volts!

Although the people who planned the incident vowed to ensure that the insulation measures were appropriate and that they would not be in any danger, after all, they did it themselves. They were quite afraid that the current would flow down the stick and burn them all. Now it seems that it is the same as expected.

The transmission line was broken, which was completely simulated as a natural accident. A bird was tired and fell on the transmission line. As a result, it was electrocuted. At the same time, the transmission line was also broken due to heat.

Well, that's it.

Inside the base.

The radar was still rotating. Nowotny listened to the call in the radio and knew that the target aircraft had become four. Suddenly, Nowotny had an ominous feeling.

Isn't it a fishing operation?

Americans deliberately set traps. When their planes flew past, a large group of fighters greeted them. This is also entirely possible. After all, it has been out of their radar detection range. It is too simple for Americans to ambush and sneak attack.

However, even if Americans want to sneak attacks and group fights, I'm afraid they will fail, right? Apart from other things, at least if one's own fighter plane is found to be a trap, it will be invincible as long as it climbs up at a high altitude of 14000.

Carl has always been his wingman. He has rich experience and will never love war.

Thinking of this, Nowotny had to press the radio call switch and shout to the front, don't love war. If the situation is bad, come back quickly. Anyway, he has expelled the other party, even if he has completed the task.

Just about to shout, I heard a slap. Then, the light on my head went out, the radio station in front of me didn't light up, and the sound of various machines and equipment outside disappeared.

"What's going on?" Norwatney opened the door and the cold wind whizzed in. He shouted.

"There's a power failure." A soldier shouted, "our whole base is powered off."

In fact, general field bases are equipped with their own generators. However, due to the cold weather in Greenland, the power consumption is relatively large. Moreover, the base also has ready-made power transmission lines connected with the outside world, which are arranged by Americans. Of course, it directly uses the outside lines.

Generally, fireplaces can be burned in cold places, but not here. It's cold everywhere, and there's no place to cut firewood. Therefore, heating uses electricity, and the power consumption is quite large.

Now, there was a sudden power failure.

"Start the standby generator immediately." Cried Novotny.

The heating power can be put aside. It also takes time to check the lines and restore the power supply. Now, they need to start the standby generator immediately and at least connect the radio, radar and navigation equipment set up in the base.

At this time, Novotny is already in a state of anxiety. Any accidental accident has a reason. It is unusual to suddenly cut off power when our fighters are far away from the base and may encounter traps.

When the power supply is restored, the command will be issued immediately to return the two attacking fighters!

There must be a conspiracy in this.

Without norwatney's command, the two ground attendants have hurried to the side of the power car. They are well-trained.

This is a power generation vehicle with a modified Ford truck chassis. In the back compartment, a diesel engine produced by Mercedes Benz drives a 200 kW generator, which is enough to meet the emergency power demand.

The ground crew got on the tram and turned the diesel engine start switch behind.

The start switch is divided into two gears. The first gear is preheating. In this cold weather, it cannot be started without preheating.

The glow plug starts to heat the cylinder. After three minutes, the glow indicator turns off. Then, the ground crew turns the start switch to the second gear.

"Buzz, buzz." The starter makes a sound, but even if you can't hear the starting sound of the diesel engine, you can't see the black smoke from the exhaust pipe.

"No!" A ground crew shouted, "the diesel is frozen!"

It's freezing here. Although they have used the lowest grade diesel, wrapped all oil circuits, and conducted a routine start-up inspection every day, they still fell off the chain at this critical time.

"Come on, bake!" Shouted the ground crew.

Germany has accumulated a lot of experience in the operation in cold areas. At the beginning, in Finland, Germany specially sent personnel to conduct field operation, so that once the war in the Soviet Union lasted too long and dragged on to winter, it can continue to fight and be fully prepared.

The Soviet Union did not use it, but it can be used in Iceland and Greenland.

A ground attendant took out a rotten cloth head, poured a little oil on it, lit it and baked it along the pipeline.

Baking the engine is very particular. Bake the oil circuit quickly. You can't bake the oil pipe because of overheating. You need to bake the diesel filter and fuel tank repeatedly and quickly.

After baking for three minutes, the ground crew said, "there's no problem now. Light the fire again!"

So the ground crew who operated the start knob continued to turn the knob, hoping to hear the familiar sound of high-pressure oil pump injection and see the black smoke from the exhaust pipe.

"Buzz, buzz." The starter is idling, but the engine still can't start?

At this time, the ground crew had to unscrew the cover of the fuel tank. When he violated the regulations and directly leaned over the torch to illuminate it, he saw that a big ice lump had formed inside!

The diesel in the fuel tank turned into ice. It's terrible!
