Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

As major TV stations started live broadcasts, the ratings of related programs soared. The audience was full of anticipation, their eyes fixed on the screen, not wanting to miss any exciting moments.

"Hello, friends! I am the platoon leader of the First Air Force Group of the Mirka Sea Area. This military exercise adopts an open and diversified combat mode, focusing mainly on the exchange of military technology in the airspace. Under the premise of complying with regulations, the two sides will use live ammunition to fight, and mainly use drones for combat, and personnel will only participate in ground combat. This exercise is code-named "Chessboard Operation". The two sides are like playing chess, and the core goal is to occupy more positions. Once the headquarters of either side is attacked, or the commander-in-chief is "killed", it will be judged as a failure."

At this moment, Jiang Chen was sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast. As a developer of key technologies, he already knew the internal situation of the exercise. He knew that the core of this competition was the duel between the hovercraft and the fighter jet.

This is not just a competition of firepower, but also a comprehensive contest of radar detection, information network, strategy and tactics and other capabilities. The performance and firepower will directly affect the direction of the battle, and the sky will undoubtedly become the main battlefield to determine the outcome.

The red and blue sides were deployed on both sides of the Mirka Sea, forming a confrontation, and their strength seemed equal.

This sea area is vast and has complex terrain. There are more than 300 positions of various sizes, including dozens of important strategic strongholds such as passes and natural barriers. Whoever can occupy more positions will have the upper hand in this game.

"This exercise is really exciting. It can be called a pinnacle showdown of technological strength." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Su Qingyu at the side asked with interest: "How do you think our hovercraft will perform in this exercise?"

Jiang Chen said confidently: "I think it is a complete dimensionality reduction attack, the advantage must be very obvious."

In his view, this exercise is essentially a battle for positions, and the outcome of the air force will directly determine the situation of the ground battle.

Therefore, live ammunition is used in the air and blank ammunition is used on the ground to balance the intensity of the battle.

However, the development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

The first to launch the attack was actually the Blue Team! The fifth-generation unmanned aircraft of the United States and other countries quickly took off and broke through the Red Team's airspace at an extremely fast speed, trying to seize the initiative.

At the same time, the blue side's ground counterattack artillery was immediately launched, and the roar was deafening.

Faced with nearly fifty incoming aircraft, the Dragon State Ground-to-Air Artillery Command Post decisively ordered a counterattack, and missiles whizzed out like arrows from a bow. Unfortunately, the Blue Army aircraft released jamming bombs in time, and most of the missiles were intercepted in mid-air, only three enemy aircraft were shot down. Such a fierce firepower attack had little effect.

Seeing this scene, the comments on the global live broadcast instantly became lively.

"I said that the hovercraft was just a gimmick. It would be embarrassing to bring it out!"

"Longguo will definitely lose miserably this time. They thought the hovercraft was so powerful, but it's just a pipe dream!"

"One country is fighting against more than 30 countries without considering its own strength. It is really overestimating its own capabilities!"

"This kind of high-end air combat still relies on conventional fighters. Hovercraft simply cannot be used!"

The screen was filled with ridicule and doubt, and was filled with contempt for the Dragon Kingdom.

In the eyes of many people, it was arrogant for Longguo to accept such a challenge, and the so-called floating car became a laughing stock.

As the battle became more intense, the situation quickly entered a white-hot stage. The audience who had originally placed high hopes on the hovercraft fell silent at this moment, unable to hide their disappointment.

The Blue side only deployed the fifth-generation unmanned aircraft series, but they were able to act recklessly in the Red side's airspace. Even the powerful near-ground missiles could not effectively strike them, not to mention that the Blue side had not yet unveiled more advanced fighter jets. The gap in strength between the two sides seemed obvious at a glance.

Looking at the overwhelming mocking comments during the live broadcast, Jiang Chen felt mixed emotions. He shook his head helplessly, silently hoping that the situation would turn around.

"Don't be so impatient, this is just the beginning. Like you, I am looking forward to seeing how the hovercraft will perform in this military contest." Jiang Chen smiled calmly.

Seeing how calm he was, Su Qingyu couldn't help but wonder, "Are you so confident in the floating car you developed?"

In her opinion, although she is well aware of the good performance of the hovercraft, this is after all a real-combat-level military confrontation, with live ammunition in the air and the situation changing rapidly.

On the surface, this military exercise maintained the form of a drill, with blank ammunition used on the ground to give both sides room to maneuver. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that behind this was a powerful test by many countries of Dragon Country's emerging technologies, and the outcome would have a far-reaching impact on the international landscape.

Jiang Chen didn't care, and said in a relaxed tone: "Winning or losing is not that important to me. I'm not a military strategist. Compared to winning or losing, I'm more concerned about the actual performance of the hovercraft in actual combat."

In his eyes, this competition is nothing more than an excellent opportunity to test the results of scientific research.

Even if Longguo loses, it will only make certain countries temporarily proud and "jump up and down" on the international stage. Do they really dare to use this as an excuse to provoke a real war?
In comparison, the various data of the hovercraft in actual combat conditions are what he values ​​most.

At this time, the fighting at the military exercise site was still going on.

The Red Side never used airborne vehicles, but instead relied on conventional weapons such as ground-based missiles and impact bombs to counterattack.

Both sides seemed to be testing each other in the early stages. Although drone warfare was the main method used to reduce the risk of casualties, every explosion under live ammunition attack was a consumption of resources, and the fierce battle scenes made audiences around the world watch with fascination.

The situation becomes increasingly tense as the Blue side dispatches advanced reconnaissance aircraft with extremely high speed, offensive capabilities and self-destruct capabilities.

"Look! The Blue team has sent out the most advanced reconnaissance aircraft. Its speed and attack power are too strong!"

"How can Dragon Country have such equipment? This time we are going to see some fun!"

The global live broadcast barrage was filled with gloating remarks.

From the beginning, the Red Army was in a passive position. Even when launching high-precision automatic navigation missiles, they were often intercepted by the Blue Army halfway, and after multiple rounds of confrontation, they were always in a defensive position.

The blue side continued to attack, with various fighter jets and helicopters taking turns to fight.

In just a few hours, the Red Army lost more than 30 positions, including five key strategic strongholds.

Modern warfare is a competition of technological strength. Once the Blue Air Force breaks through the airspace defense line, the Red Army can only fight while retreating, and its positions are lost one after another, and the situation becomes increasingly unfavorable.

In order to regain the position, the Red Side also sent out reconnaissance planes, but the old models were far inferior to the Blue Side in speed and performance. Fifty planes were against more than a hundred of the Blue Side. After more than ten minutes, the Red Side had only five or six reconnaissance planes left, while the Blue Side still had eighty planes, firmly holding the air advantage.

"The Dragon Nation is really too arrogant. How can it possibly win against more than 30 nations on its own?"

"Where's the hovercraft you promised me? Why haven't you taken it out yet?"

"Don't dream, that kind of thing is not even presentable!"

In the live broadcast room, doubts and ridicules were heard one after another, and everyone was waiting to see the "joke" of the Dragon Kingdom. When the hovercraft would appear and whether it could reverse the situation became a suspense in everyone's mind.

"Indeed, the car looks impressive, but it is actually useless. If we really take it out, we will only bring shame upon ourselves."

"It's so exciting. The competition between the great powers is really exciting. Dragon Country will definitely lose this time. There is no suspense."

"That's not necessarily true. It seems like they haven't revealed any trump cards yet."

"A trump card? Do you think the Americans don't have any hidden tricks? Just wait and see. The Dragon Nation is just struggling to survive."

The global channel is also very lively.

Of course, everyone has the same opinion and no one is optimistic about Longguo.

The reason is simple, the gap in strength is too big, and they have no reason to be optimistic.

As the battle continued, three hours later, the first round of attacks by both sides finally came to an end.

This is also the regulation of military exercises.

It's like a fight in a ring.

After all, this is not a real battle, and both sides still have to abide by the rules.

Therefore, there will be no sneak attacks.

The two sides waited obediently until noon the next day to continue the battle, and continued to compete in firepower.

This may be a little different from a real battlefield, but it is the truth.

Moreover, in a battle of this level, if any unexpected situation occurs, it will be troublesome.

The weapons they used were very powerful.

At this time, the blue side had occupied more than one hundred positions.

Eighteen important positions were occupied!

It occupies 32 percent of the red area.

It can be said that the blue team has fully grasped the initiative.

In order to make it clearer for everyone to see, the TV station even produced a situation map.

As long as the blue team wins each attack and occupies a position, the situation map will change accordingly.

"Is it over? It was so enjoyable to watch." Jiang Chen sat in front of the TV from the beginning and watched it until the end just like other viewers.

"Why don't they use hovercraft? Is it really because of its poor performance and lack of attack power?"

Su Qingyu on the side asked somewhat unconfidently.

Naturally, she also saw the comments in the global channel.

I didn't feel anything at first.

But now she was also a little panicked.

Especially this kind of battle with flames rising into the sky was so intense that even she felt that the hovercraft was really not worthy of being used on the stage.

Otherwise, why hasn't he appeared yet?

After all, this kind of battle was really shocking.

"I'm not sure about this either."

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly.

"But according to my habits, there are only two possibilities. Either they are showing weakness in tactics, or they really can't win. Then, starting tomorrow, the Dragon Nation should adjust its tactics."

“Try to recover from the disadvantage.”

This is Jiang Chen’s own analysis.

Su Qingyu seemed to understand.

"You mean to say that the hovercraft is either the killer weapon that determines the outcome of the battle, or it is really not worth mentioning?"

"So what do you think is the case?"

Su Qingyu is now very panicked and has little confidence.

She urgently needs Jiang Chen to give her a positive answer.

We are all Dragon people, so naturally we share the same hatred and the same enemy.

Who would like to see their country lose in such an occasion?

This is not a question of shame or not, but a question of honor.

Today is definitely a dark day for the people of Dragon Country.

So on the global live broadcast channel, no one had much to say and just kept cheering for Dragon Country.

There is nothing else I can do.

Some people even broke down and cried.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly in response to Su Qingyu's question.

He speaks very casually.

"Do you want to hear the truth? I don't care whether I win or lose. It doesn't matter whether the hovercraft is a killer or not. In fact, I can see that this battle is just a prelude."

"Because the era of space armaments is coming. This is an era of rapid technological development."

"I predict that future battles will most likely not be fought on our planet, but will be moved to outer space!"

Longguo has been preparing for the space armament plan for more than 20 years.

We have also been making preparations and updating technology.

That's according to what Mr. Cheng revealed to him.

They want to build a space aircraft carrier!

Whoever can truly gain a foothold in the universe will be the most powerful country!
The appearance of the hovercraft made them realize that the time was ripe.

In other words, this battle is nothing more than a debut of the hovercraft!
Show the effect.

It can't hinder the space armament plan!
"I see. To put it bluntly, you still believe that the hovercraft will win."

Su Qingyu smiled and nodded relaxedly.

Don't think that what Jiang Chen said is irrelevant.

Su Qingyu is a smart woman.

"Just wait and see. It's just beginning now. We'll be busy then."

……

"Haha, Dragon Country is nothing special. They are just some crappy reconnaissance planes. They are nothing compared to ours. General, I think we can end this ridiculous battle tomorrow."

"That's right. Longguo hasn't fought a war for a long time and lacks experience in this area. We are different. General, I think there is no suspense in this war. We can end this boring battle quickly!"...

Inside the high-level Blue Side Armaments Conference.

A general spoke first.

They are each responsible for their own work.

Today's battle was too easy for them.

Although Longguo seemed to be still testing and had not revealed its trump card.

But they also didn't reveal their trump cards.

This time, generals from various countries, led by the United States, expressed their opinions.

Some countries won the first round of the battle without even putting in much effort.

It couldn't be easier.

They gradually relaxed their vigilance against Longguo.

General Iros, who was sitting at the first seat, pondered for a moment.

He also nodded slightly.

He didn't want to drag out this battle for too long.

It was originally launched to warn Long Kingdom not to be too arrogant.

Now it seems that the effect has been achieved.

"Okay, let's do it as planned. Project Spider is officially launched!"

……

At this moment, the Red Team did not feel any sense of oppression at all.

Many generals were chatting and laughing.

Not at all discouraged by today's defeat.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Our old reconnaissance plane has finally come in handy."

"However, the blue team is indeed very experienced and has not revealed any flaws so far. This is something we should be vigilant about."

The first leader also spoke.

"Commander, now that the old drones have been written off, our ground and air personnel have completed combat drills and accumulated a certain amount of experience, which is enough." (End of this chapter)
