Chapter 1789 The Dawn of the Times (Third update, please subscribe)
What is untouchable?
After Lu Ruixuan left the study, Li Yian was still thinking about this problem. After all, he knew very well what kind of damage a terrorist attack would bring to a country.

Just like the war on terror waged by the United States after 911/, it lasted for decades and cost trillions of dollars, but what did it gain in the end?

Apart from spending huge amounts of money, there was almost no return, and it even affected the United States' global strategy.

It can be said that the damage caused by terrorist attacks, an asymmetric warfare method, to major countries is far beyond people’s imagination.

It is for this reason that this possibility must be eradicated fundamentally.

"We still have to start from the root and make sure they don't even dare to touch it or even think about it."

There is nothing in the world that is untouchable, unless everyone knows that there is a price to pay for touching that thing, and the price is extremely heavy.

When seeing the terrorist attacks on TV news in another world, Li Yian often wondered - why did those terrorists dare to launch the attacks?
Why can terrorist spokespersons make statements on television at will without fear of arrest?

Why can their leaders live in luxury houses in other countries, enjoy a luxurious life, and remotely command their organizations to attack other countries without worrying about being attacked themselves?

In fact, the reason is very simple - the international rules established after World War II, although to a certain extent, have brought unprecedented lasting peace to mankind, these international rules can actually provide the greatest protection for hooligans.

This is also the fundamental reason why many international issues after the war can never be resolved.

In the post-war international order, national sovereignty is respected and protected by international law. Any act of aggression will be subject to sanctions and condemnation by the United Nations. Although it is ineffective against major powers, it makes many countries cautious most of the time, and even the United States needs to be cautious.

Of course, except for Da Mao.

This has directly led to an extremely special situation - some countries can provide weapons and funds to opposition groups in other countries and incite internal rebellion for their own interests or needs.

Of course, this kind of behavior also existed before the war, but at that time no one dared to do it openly because the other side would really retaliate.

Of course, most of the time this is a game played by big countries. Some small countries also choose similar methods for their own interests or demands, but the organizations they support are often terrorist organizations.

The financial backers behind almost all terrorist organizations in the Middle East are the Gulf oil countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman... These countries will provide financial assistance to those terrorist organizations under various names and offer them shelter.

This is also the fundamental reason why terrorist organizations are so persistent despite repeated bans, because their financial backers will provide them with a steady stream of funds and shelter.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about La Deng. The Americans spent more than ten years trying to kill this guy, but who would have thought that he was living safely in Pakistan under the protection of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence.

In Qatar and Dubai, many leaders of terrorist organizations are enjoying extremely luxurious lives, without worrying about so-called security issues at all.

The subsequent spread of terrorism around the world was entirely due to the Gulf countries.

In this case, if you want to eradicate the problem, you must start from the root.

"Just get rid of their financial backers. Once the financial backers are gone, those little minions won't be able to do anything."

Standing by the window, Li Yian stared silently into the distance and talked to himself.

"As long as you start to attack this place, you'd better pray every day and ask your God to bless you. Otherwise, no matter where you are or which country you are in, you will be wiped out completely."

By that time it will be a war of annihilation!

The corners of Li Yian's mouth rose, and the sneer on his face became more and more intense.

At that time, he will use practical actions to tell those terrorists and their financial backers behind the scenes what the wrath of thunder is!
Thinking of this, Li Yian sneered:

"The wrath of the emperor will leave millions of dead and blood flowing for thousands of miles."

Yes, what's the harm if a common man's anger causes blood to splatter five steps away?

He could cause blood to splatter five steps away, but what happened next was revenge that would bleed a thousand miles away.

"…The best way to deal with hooligans in this world is to be more hooligans than the hooligans."

While talking to himself, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little excited. He began to look forward to a special weapon.

“It would be nice if there were drones…”

In another world, drone reconnaissance turned into strikes first shone brightly on the anti-terrorism battlefield.

For more than a decade, the United States' Predator drones have launched decapitation operations against terrorists time and time again.

For a long time, what terrorists feared most was not the US special forces, but the missiles launched by drones or the laser-guided bombs dropped.

In front of drones, national borders do not exist. Even if they are shot down, they will not admit it.

"An integrated reconnaissance and strike drone..."

Nodding, Li Yian said:

“It’s a good thing, but is it technically feasible now?”

...In fact, sometimes, the speed of technological progress is far beyond people's imagination. As early as more than ten years ago, after Li Yian proposed the idea of ​​transforming reconnaissance drones into integrated reconnaissance and strike machines, the Air Force Research Institute has been conducting research in this area.

From the emergence of the "Scout" unmanned tactical reconnaissance aircraft, to the later emergence of the GPS global satellite positioning system, and then to the emergence of the military's tactical data link system, technology is always improving.

It is this technological advancement that drives the development and change of tactics.

On this day, after a heavy rain in the rainy season, the weather quickly cleared up. In an open area of ​​the shooting range, an old American Dodge truck was parked quietly on the grass. There were no puddles after the rain around it. There were only the sounds of the wind and the occasional birdsong.

The sky is blue, the sun is dazzling, and a few white clouds are slowly floating by.

Suddenly, a low humming sound came from a distance, breaking the silence.

However, the birds on the ground could not hear the buzzing sound. In the swamp dozens of meters away from the truck, several water birds were still foraging in the swamp and did not react at all.

At this time, the plane in the sky had arrived at this airspace. This plane with a wingspan of more than ten meters seemed to be different from ordinary planes. Its engine propeller was located at the tail, and there was not even a cockpit at the nose. There was a rotating hemispherical camera under the nose.

This is a big drone!

But unlike ordinary drones, it has a "Maverick" TV-guided missile mounted under its belly, which reflects a cold light in the sun.

After the drone arrived at this area, the reconnaissance camera under the nose began to rotate slightly, and the optical camera continuously adjusted the focal length.

At the same time, in the ground command vehicle at the test base more than 100 kilometers away, the atmosphere was obviously extremely tense. The small command vehicle was packed with people, all staring at the three televisions on the console.

Through the TV, you can clearly see the target on the shooting range - a ten-wheeled truck.

"We have reached the attack area."

The drone operator sat in front of the console, his eyes fixed on the TV screen in front of him, which showed the real-time images sent back by the drone. His fingers moved gently on the joystick, adjusting the drone's flight attitude while constantly adjusting the focus of the reconnaissance camera.
Although the picture was a little blurry, he still saw the big number "1" written on the truck's hood through the picture sent by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

After confirming the target, he immediately reported:
"The target has been determined. Do you want to attack?"

Feng Dingkang, who was standing behind him, also focused his eyes on the screen. He nodded and said:
"You can attack."

The operator took a deep breath and tapped his fingers quickly on the console a few times, starting the missile launch procedure.

The electronic signal was transmitted to the drone through the Air Force data link, and the Maverick missile under the wing was instantly activated. With a slight mechanical sound, the missile broke away from the drone, spewing hot flames from its tail, and rushed towards the target.

The operator's eyes never left the screen, his fingers slightly adjusted on the joystick to ensure that the missile flew along the predetermined trajectory. On the screen, the silhouette of the truck gradually became clear, the missile's angle of view kept zooming in, and the crosshairs on the TV screen could clearly be seen locking onto the target.

A few seconds later, the missile hit the truck accurately.

From the main screen, you can see a violent explosion, flames shooting up into the sky, and thick smoke quickly spreading.

At this moment, everyone in the command vehicle held their breath. After the smoke cleared, the images sent back by the drone showed that the truck had turned into a pile of scrap metal. After confirming that the target was completely destroyed, warm cheers immediately broke out in the command vehicle.

"Success!"

The operator took off his headphones and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Feng Dingkang patted his shoulder, his eyes full of joy.

"Okay, it worked. We finally did it."

At this moment, what they did was not just a precise strike, but also made history - this was the first time that humans used drones to carry out long-range attacks.

Inside the command vehicle, celebratory shouts rang out one after another, and everyone's face was filled with pride and joy.

They have waited for this day for too long, more than ten years, and finally achieved today's success.

They knew this moment would go down in history - the first drone strike by humans.

This also means a fundamental change in the way war is fought.

"With him we no longer have to take risks with pilots."

Feng Dingkang's tone sounded a little excited. He turned his head to look at Liang Zhijie beside him, and seeing that he still had a frown on his face, he began to ask.

"Zhijie, why are you still so unhappy now that you have succeeded?"

"success?"

Listening to his friend's words, Liang Zhijie first nodded, then shook his head.

"We succeeded. We successfully launched the missile with the drone. But..."

He stared at the blurry picture, and then said:
"However, it still has many shortcomings. If the data link transmission problem is not solved, it can only be used for tactical purposes on the battlefield. Therefore, the most critical thing is to solve the data link transmission problem!"
