Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 749 The tornado was really exciting!

Of course, Xu Ye didn't have 100% hope in this matter; it could also be a smokescreen.

When it comes to matters of life and death, Shadam can never be too careful.

After all, the current Saddam Hussein is not the desperate president he was in his previous life. Although he can't go anywhere in the world, he still has many places to go.

There are countless anti-American forces, both overt and covert, in the Middle East!

However, there is only one person who is as stubborn as him in this situation.

Therefore, for Shadak, Russia is the best place to go right now, but not the only place.

"A mere airplane? You're getting a real bargain!"

Thinking about this, Xu Ye muttered to himself.

If we're really going to compare, this idiot should probably kowtow to himself.

Therefore, Xu Ye felt perfectly justified in accepting his plane.

After all, putting that aside, the rewards for Xu Ye taking down those fighter jets from the US and UK multinational forces were ten times, or even more.

Can't I feel at ease with this?
Not to mention, Xu Ye is now here to "protect" Shadam.

Although, Xu Ye has not yet found any trace of Shadama.

But these past few days, Xu Ye hasn't had much to do either—airplanes, tanks, soldiers…

Even so, Xu Ye's primary motivation was to earn Liver Scrolls.

But, doesn't the result align with the interests of Saddam and YLK?

"We have to hurry!"

After pressing the button again, Xu Ye made up his mind.

Regardless of whether it was a smokescreen or not, Xu Ye had to go and check it out. Even if he came up empty-handed, he couldn't be blamed; he had done his best.

This task must be completed from beginning to end!

Time quickly passed to midnight. Feeling that it was about time, Xu Ye had an idea, and eight BM-30 Tornado rocket launchers, ready to fire at any moment, appeared not far away.

Although the price for this customized rocket artillery system is slightly higher.

However, thinking about the huge gains to come, Xu Ye didn't feel any heartache at all.

Without confirming again or having time to confirm, Xu Ye pressed the launch button directly.

It has to be said that the system shop is really thoughtful. As long as you are willing to spend more "grind points", not only will the shooting status be prepared for you, but you can also make personalized customization modifications.

Just like now, Xu Ye only needs to press a button, and eight BM-30 Tornado rocket launchers will start firing in unison!

A launch vehicle can fire 12 rockets, each with a caliber of 300 mm and a weight of 800 kg, in just 38 seconds. The rest of the time is spent reloading or moving the rockets.

However, Xu Ye simply treated it as a disposable item, throwing it away after use.

No, we should blow it up after we're done using it; we can't leave it as war booty for the multinational forces.

Anyway, this thing isn't some high-tech equipment. When Da Mao sold it, it was only $1.4 million. Xu Ye's exchange price was even lower, less than 100 Liver Scrolls.

In the arms trade, prices doubling is considered a bargain.

So, Xu Ye didn't care at all about using and discarding things; he could easily take down a US tank and come back.

As we all know, American equipment is incredibly expensive!

In this respect, Xu Ye really has to thank the system.

When Xu Ye redeemed items from the system store, the redemption price was generally much lower than the selling price, depending on factors such as the product's advanced features.

Based on Xu Ye's calculated "exchange rate" for liver rolls, the price is basically the cost price.

However, when acquiring liver roll value, it is calculated according to the market price, and it is unclear what the system's basis is. In Xu Ye's view, as long as it benefits him, that's fine.

Therefore, Xu Ye was very much looking forward to seeing what surprises these 96 rockets would bring him.

After seeing the first rocket launch from each vehicle successfully take off, Xu Ye suppressed his desire to continue watching and disappeared as quickly as possible into the ruins illuminated by the exhaust plume.

Given the extent of the US's current surveillance of this region, such a large-scale launch would be detected by the US very quickly, and fighter jets patrolling the skies would soon fly over here.

Therefore, if we stay here, we might be hit by a missile if we're not careful. If we don't leave now, when will we?
Xu Ye's guess was correct. When the rockets roared into the sky, the US military's monitoring department detected the attack.

It's normal that one or two can't be detected in time, but if so many at once, especially in a wartime situation, and still can't be detected, then we might as well die.

This type of rocket artillery is essentially a short-range surface-to-surface missile. For the United States, which has been developing missile early warning systems, detecting them is a piece of cake.

It's important to understand that the US military's current strength is still on the tail end of its peak, unlike what it will be like twenty years later.

Upon discovery, the US military swiftly sprang into action.

Once it was determined that the missiles were hitting the temporary camps at the front lines, orders to evacuate and take cover were immediately issued, and the nearest fighter jets received the orders shortly afterward...

Although the US military's response was timely and correct.

However, the location where Xu Ye launched the rocket artillery was less than 20 kilometers away from the nearest American temporary military camp.

For a person, this distance is very far.

However, for rocket artillery with an initial velocity of 850 meters per second, this distance is very short.

It wasn't that Xu Ye didn't want to get closer, but the minimum range of the BM-30 Tornado rocket launcher was 20 kilometers, and it couldn't be any lower.

Could the range be shortened?
Of course you can!

As I said before, as long as you're willing to spend Live Scrolls, the system shop can meet any of your needs.

However, in that case, it wouldn't just be a matter of setting up the launch status and pretending to be a remote launch device, requiring only a few points of "liver value"; the required "liver value" would be much higher.

After all, such a requirement is practically equivalent to redesigning a whole new product.

So Xu Ye never even considered that going a little further away would be safer!
Xu Ye would never make such a pointless expense.

It's not that I'm reluctant to spend the money, but I'm afraid of developing extravagant spending habits.

After all, there were too many things Xu Ye wanted in the system's store.

Even if we can't control our desires and wipe out humanity, it still won't be enough.

Even killing this many people had given Xu Ye some psychological problems, let alone the thought of annihilating humanity; he couldn't even bear to think about it.

That's truly insane!
Therefore, we must learn to restrain our desires, starting with small steps.

One rocket at a time is very cost-effective!
The 38-second salvo time seemed short, but before the salvo was even finished, the first rocket had already hit its target, and violent explosions echoed throughout the US military's frontline camps.

Xu Ye, busy heading to the next location, had no time to appreciate the scenery, running at a speed far exceeding that of a normal person. The moment he pressed the launch button, Xu Ye stopped caring about what happened next; he'd just check his system balance later.

Moreover, it's better not to watch it, as it can reduce some of the psychological burden.

Even if the US military could detect it in time, a single salvo from the BM-30 Tornado rocket launcher would cover an area of ​​670,000 square meters, equivalent to the area of ​​100 football fields. With eight launchers, that's 800 football fields.

With such a large area, even if the rocket artillery has a relatively large margin of error—the Russians' philosophy has never been about pursuing high precision, but rather about firepower coverage—they can't withstand the sheer number of attacks.

It's easy to imagine that the casualties of the multinational forces this time will be at least in the three digits, and four digits are not impossible. If we also take into account the destroyed weapons and equipment, this wave might be enough to push Xu Ye's liver scroll value to break through the 500,000 mark.

Of course, even if he couldn't break through, Xu Ye wouldn't feel anything.

It's simple, Xu Ye has a backup plan!
We're about to leave this place, so how can we achieve great things without letting loose a bit?

Xu Ye thought to himself, "Consider it revenge for the people of YLK."

Thinking this way can also alleviate Xu Ye's psychological burden.

Sigh, is it easy for me to earn some liver points?
"coming!"

Three minutes later, the rocket explosions had long since ended. Xu Ye, slightly out of breath, looked at the eight bright spots that had been locked onto the radar screen, which meant that eight fighter jets had been locked onto by the radar and could be launched.

With so many fighter jets, it's clear that the United States takes this attack very seriously; they've probably called in every possible aircraft from the surrounding area.

In fact, this is only the first batch; the fighter jets that have just taken off may already be on their way.

Or, in the eyes of the US military, those who could launch such an attack at this moment might be the last elite force of YLK, and naturally they could not be let go.

Little did they know that this seemingly grand operation was actually orchestrated by Xu Ye alone.

But who would have thought that Xu Ye would be so incredibly talented!
This reaction is perfectly normal!
And this reaction from the US military was exactly what Xu Ye wanted.

The rocket artillery made a lot of noise, but Xu Ye couldn't guarantee what the final results would be.

However, Xu Ye could guarantee that a single fighter jet would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, and that was Xu Ye's main objective this time.

Since we're going to make a big move, we should naturally target high-value targets.

Shooting planes is great; not only do you earn a lot, but you also cause fewer deaths and injuries, and it doesn't cause too much psychological burden.

Thus, Xu Ye's actions tonight came about.

"Since you're here, then stay!"

Without hesitation, Xu Ye pressed the launch button!

Then, he left the radar vehicle as quickly as possible, got on an electric off-road motorcycle, and sped away from there.

That's right, Xu Ye's backup plan was that he had just set up a Russian S-300 air defense missile launch site here.

Military enthusiasts in China should be very familiar with this missile.

Previously, China not only imported the Su-27 fighter jet from Russia, but also its air defense system, namely the famous S-300 air defense missile.

This anti-aircraft missile might be outdated in twenty years.

However, the previous YLK war has already proven itself.

Although, as always, it didn't reach the level that Russia boasted about—not only does the United States like to fabricate data, but Russia also likes to brag.

Many pieces of equipment, in actual combat, often do not reach the level they claim to be at.

However, in this YLK war, although the S-300's performance was somewhat diminished, it still managed to shoot down a number of multinational forces' aircraft.

It didn't exceed expectations, but it didn't disappoint either.

This time, to be as safe as possible, Xu Ye prepared three times the number of air-to-air missiles for these fighter jets.

That means each fighter jet is allocated an average of three anti-aircraft missiles, and eight fighter jets would have a total of 32 missiles.

If we consider the prices offered by Russia, excluding the launcher and radar vehicle, each missile alone costs $1.5 million, and 32 missiles would cost nearly $50 million.

With the addition of the supporting missile launchers and radar vehicles, the total cost exceeds fifty million US dollars.

Of course, this is just Da Mao's price quote. When it's actually sold, there will be discounts for bulk orders!

For example, in the 1990s, the first two battalions of S-300 air defense systems that China introduced were contracted for $220 million.

Of course, this is publicly available information, and Xu Ye doesn't know if there's anything else.

Anyway, the liver scrolls he spent on all these things were less than two thousand. Even if he only shot down one of these eight fighter jets, let alone all of them, he would still make a huge profit.

However, Xu Ye's ambitions went beyond just shooting down one enemy; otherwise, he wouldn't have exchanged for so many anti-aircraft missiles.

In order to shoot down as many planes as possible, Xu Ye even spent some Liver Points to upgrade the radar system.

After all, Russia's technological capabilities in the missile field are quite reassuring.

However, when it comes to radar guidance, things are rather disappointing.

Therefore, Xu Ye was willing to spend a little more for greater results.

Otherwise, the cost of liver rolls would be even lower.

As I said before, the profits from the arms industry are enormous, as anyone who knows!

Having put in so much effort, Xu Ye believed that unless these fighter pilots reached his level, they were doomed.

Why would Xu Ye, who was so confident, immediately run away?

It's very simple: a wise person doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.

All of the above are theoretical; who knows what the real situation is like?

For your own safety, the best course of action is to hit and run.

Moreover, such a thing can only be done once; it's almost impossible to do it again.

Firstly, Xu Ye had to consider his own safety.

Another issue is that the area here is too small, and Xu Ye really doesn't think they can hold out until the next night.

Not only him, but Shadak is the same, isn't he?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have started moving, would he?

Most importantly, after such an attack, it's obvious that the mold industry will intensify its testing efforts in this area again.

The system is Xu Ye's biggest secret, and it absolutely cannot be exposed. If it happens once, that's fine, but if it happens again, then things could get complicated.
