Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 2003 War is the best advertisement (first update, please subscribe)
Sometimes, some things are even more mysterious than myths - SEA's technology and weapons are completely ahead of all countries in the world, but this has not attracted enough attention from the world. In fact, at that time, most countries in the world did not even have computers.

But what about in SEA?
Computers began to enter schools and public libraries several years ago. Not only are all schools equipped with computers, but they are also connected to the Internet.

When most countries in the world were in the Age of Ignorance, we had already entered the age of the Internet.

Although most families did not have computers at that time, children here could learn how to use computers and access the Internet through computers in school libraries and public libraries.

Sometimes, when a new era begins, it often begins silently. People in it don’t even realize the arrival of the new era. The new era announces its arrival in an extremely special way.

Although the missile interception that took place over Tel Aviv shocked the whole world, the militaries of countries around the world have all developed a strong interest in the Sky Arrow 3 air defense missile.

When Egypt, Syria and Israel were fighting there, purchasing teams from some countries had already arrived here.

"We are here for the future of Germany."

Claude said as he looked out the car window at Changan. He was not unfamiliar with this city. After all, the exchanges between Germany and SEA had been extremely close over the years.

As we all know, Germany is the fourth largest source of immigrants to SEA. In the first few years after the war, millions of Germans immigrated to SEA. Therefore, the people-to-people exchanges between the two countries can be said to be extremely close, and the number of flights between the two countries is the largest in the world.

"Germany faces threats from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe at all times, and we need this kind of missile to protect our skies."

As the forefront of the Cold War, it can be said that Germany is very crisis-conscious and they always invest a lot of money in the military.

Germany now has the largest tanks, armored forces and air force in Western Europe. But even so, they still lack a sense of security. After all, in comparison, the power on the other side of the Iron Curtain is a bit too scary.

What must any German have felt when he thought of the torrent of steel rushing over the border on the other side of the railway?

It's just deep despair.

After all, there were tens of thousands of tanks, tens of thousands of planes, and of course millions of Warsaw Pact troops.

Having witnessed the Soviet attack, the entire German people wanted to turn Germany into a fortress.

But it was obviously impossible for them to put the entire country into the fortress, just as they had no way to guarantee that they could stop the Warsaw Pact's nuclear weapons when a war broke out.

Especially the Warsaw Pact's short-range tactical ballistic missiles - those missiles were basically specially prepared for Germany.

Faced with this great gift from the East, the fear of the Germans is understandable. In addition to agreeing to the US military's deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Germany as a deterrent to Russia,

There was no other option until four days ago, when German politicians and military personnel saw the image of a Scud ballistic missile being intercepted on their television screens.

Oh my god—I was stunned.

Their astonishment immediately turned into ecstasy, even to the point of revelry.

They immediately realized that this weapon was exactly what they needed, and without any hesitation, they immediately sent out an inspection team.

They came here to learn more about this weapon - although this weapon had already appeared at the Chang'an International Equipment Exhibition last year, Germany did not pay much attention to it at that time.

But things are different now.

This thing is absolutely necessary now!

So, Claude and his group came.

As soon as Colonel Claude von Strauss stepped onto the observation deck of the Nanyang Defense Equipment Company's shooting range, the oncoming sea breeze lifted the hem of his military uniform.

The commander of the German Federal Armed Forces' air defense forces narrowed his gray-blue eyes. The green camouflaged "Sky Arrow 3" missile launcher on the launcher in the distance looked so inconspicuous - it seemed that it had never changed in the past nearly 20 years, but in fact, the only thing that had not changed was the launch box. The air defense missiles in the launch box have been upgraded to the third generation.

"Colonel,"

Reinhardt, deputy manager of Nanyang Defense Equipment Company, said to him:

"Live-fire testing will begin in five minutes."

Claude nodded and glimpsed the other members of the delegation - technical expert Major Mueller and Defense Department civilian Lyle - talking to each other. They had just arrived in Chang'an from Frankfurt yesterday, and before they had fully recovered from the jet lag, they were arranged to watch this key demonstration.

"Gentlemen!" Zhang Xun, chief engineer of Nanyang Defense Equipment Company, walked to the front of the observation deck with a loudspeaker and said in English:

“Today we will simulate the interception of a tactical ballistic missile with a speed of Mach 4, which is similar to the performance of tactical missiles such as the Scud used by the Soviet Union.”

Major Mueller immediately recorded it in his notebook. Claude's mouth curled up slightly - this was exactly what he wanted to see. He wanted to see how this missile could intercept ballistic missiles.

"Five! Four! Three..."

The countdown came through the headphones. Claude unconsciously tensed his back muscles, thinking of the fireball over Tel Aviv on TV. He was at the Officers Club in Cologne that day, and everyone stared at the TV screen in silence until the tail flame of the "Sky Arrow 3" cut through the night sky... "Launch!"

In the distance, the Sky Arrow 3 missile roared into the sky, and the tail flames from its solid fuel engine left a twisted heat wave trail in the morning air. Claude grabbed the telescope and saw the missile suddenly turn at an altitude of 2000 meters, and the gas rudders on the side of the missile body spewed out a slight adjustment flame. It was "colliding" with the incoming missile.

Claude held his breath - he even felt his palms sweating. After all, witnessing a missile intercepting a missile with his own eyes was completely different from seeing a similar scene on TV.

The impact occurred at an altitude of about 4500 meters. The orange-red fireball bloomed silently, just like a festive firework.

"my Lord!"

Major Mueller murmured. In the telescope, fragments of the target bomb were falling like fireworks.

It all seemed so unreal.

Engineer Zhang Xun turned around with a smile on his face:
"Gentlemen, this is the world's only combat-proven tactical ballistic missile defense system. The circular error probable does not exceed 5 meters."

Claude put down the telescope, his palms slightly sweaty. He noticed that two missiles were used for this interception - the second missile was fired immediately after the first missile missed the target. It seems that Nanyang Defense Equipment Company did not intend to conceal that the system was not 100% reliable.

"I want to know the specific parameters of TVM guidance." Claude said:

“Especially the frequency of data updates when the target is performing terminal maneuvers.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Xun's eyes. Most visiting officers only cared about the range and killing radius, and few directly asked about technical details such as "tracking by missiles".

Sometimes, it’s the details that matter most.

"Why don't we go to the control center and look at the radar interface?"

Soon they arrived inside the radar command vehicle.

In front of the display screen of the phased array radar, Claude carefully observed the jumping light spots. As an officer with a doctorate in electronic engineering, he immediately recognized the unique advantages of this radar - no mechanical rotation is required, and the speed of electronic scanning is ten times that of traditional radar.

"This system is the world's first phased array radar system, which can track 100 targets simultaneously,"

Zhang Xun pointed at the screen and introduced in a slightly proud tone:

"And guided eight missiles to attack three of the highest priority targets."

Major Mueller leaned close to Claude's ear:

"It's really advanced! Even Americans don't have it."

Claude nodded.

It was only a few years ago that European and American countries began to have the concept of phased array radar, but now SEA has already manufactured it and put it into use.

This is really too shocking.

"Mr. Zhang,"

Claude deliberately raised his voice and asked:

"I noticed that the target altitude remained above 3000 meters during the demonstration. What if we encounter a cruise missile flying close to the ground?
For example, cruise missiles similar to the Tomahawk. According to our intelligence, the Russians seem to have begun to equip themselves with similar cruise missiles. "

The engineer's smile froze for a second. This German was too perceptive - the Sky Arrow 3 did have a blind spot in detecting ultra-low altitude targets, and the military's test report last year pointed out this problem.

"Theoretically the system can handle any altitude, and it can certainly intercept low-flying cruise missiles..."

Zhang Xun started with standard rhetoric.

"But this missile is a long-range missile with a range of up to 120km. To intercept Tomahawk cruise missiles, we prefer to use anti-aircraft guns or other short-range defense systems. The 30mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun developed by our company is a very suitable weapon for intercepting cruise missiles. Due to its rate of fire advantage, it is more suitable for attacking low, slow and small targets, especially cruise missiles. It is also extremely suitable for the army tank forces."

This is no longer a rhetoric, but a sales pitch. In fact, Zhang Xun is not just an engineer, he is also an excellent salesman. However, the Germans obviously do not have much interest in him. After all, Germany is also developing self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

And its caliber is larger, 35 mm.

"Well, it does need to be used with a short-range air defense system in the military, I understand."

Claude nodded understandingly:
"After all, there is no perfect weapon, and every skill has its own specialty."
