Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1168 This is difficult

Gao Zhendong nodded. Since his comrades had this ambition, he, as a leader, must also support it.

"Okay, then you don't have to rush to inspect the lathes, but you can contact the department and ask them to issue a trial notice. In the name of testing, you can first make some lathes for the units that need them urgently. This way, it won't delay the work of other comrades who really need the lathes."

After all, CNC lathes are good things. We cannot say that there are no lathes with certain automation functions in the country now, but there are really no lathes with technology levels as high as the one in the third factory. It is fully digitally controlled, can realize CAD/CAM, and has a high precision. We must use this thing early and use it more often.

"Okay, we'll contact the department when we get back." Chief Engineer Gao is really thoughtful, the comrades thought.

In fact, Gao Zhendong did this partly for the sake of his comrades. He took up this position first. After all, the comrades from other factories were not pushovers. If someone else came up with the idea and publicized it first, it would not matter to Gao Zhendong, but these comrades would be at a disadvantage.

Maybe they won't care too much, but as a leader, you have to consider the interests of your subordinates, otherwise who would follow you.

The impact of the American people's full involvement in the Jiaozhi War finally began to show. Not to mention the Southern Jiaozhi Liberation Front, even the Northern Jiaozhi, which was theoretically far away from the war, was under tremendous pressure.

Citigroup aircraft launched a comprehensive bombing of important towns, roads, bridges, etc. in the north. The bombing effects were mixed, but there was no doubt that it brought great trouble to northern Jiaozhi.

This is also the reason why Gao Zhendong did not allow laser-guided bombs, TV-guided bombs, etc. to be exposed in advance. If these things were exposed in advance, given the technical capabilities of the Citigroups and their emphasis on ground attacks, the pressure faced by North Jiaozhi now might be very great.

There was not much the people of Jiaozhi could do about this situation, which could be summed up in one sentence: "Hurry up and go to the West to invite the Buddha."

Of course, here, the Buddha is not in the west, and there are probably more than one.

In a conference room in Beijing, a military attaché from the foreign affairs department was speaking: "...Comrades, I have finished my brief introduction to the situation. Today we have invited experts from various fields including our military, strategy, tactics, and equipment. We hope that everyone can brainstorm and express their opinions, so as to provide constructive and actionable suggestions for us to implement our decisions."

This is a meeting held by the foreign affairs department. As for the decision, needless to say, we are really good to our friends. And like the Korean Peninsula, the Indochina Peninsula is also a very important geopolitical relationship for us. We will definitely help.

After receiving the request for help from the Jiaozhi people, we decided to do things according to our usual policy. Now, the foreign affairs department wants to discuss with everyone and decide how to do it in detail.

This matter is closely related to the military, so the person responsible for introducing the situation is also the foreign affairs military attaché.

Gao Zhendong is also here. For such a matter, not to mention that the foreign affairs department has directly invited him, even if they haven't invited him, the Defense Work Committee will definitely bring him in. It's because he is so useful.

Gao Zhendong didn't say anything about economic and political issues, as he had people on these fronts. But when it came to discussing military plans, he became excited.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee was speaking: "Given our economic strength, we are unable to provide them with a large number of air defense missiles, aircraft and other equipment."

He was very frank. We ourselves are having difficulties, so it is absolutely impossible to help them with these things.

Listening to his words, Gao Zhendong knew very well how many anti-aircraft missiles and aircraft were consumed in the entire Jiaozhi War. It was a huge number, and our limited financial resources could never supply it.

Although it is not yet the Fourth Gulf War and the oil crisis has not yet broken out, the Russians are not yet that wealthy economically, but no matter what, they are still much stronger than us, and it is just right for the Russians to step in on this matter.

Sure enough, the comrades in the foreign affairs department also thought so, and they were even prepared: "In this regard, we have discussed with the comrades in the north and Jiaozhi. In terms of cutting-edge weapons, the comrades in the north will be responsible for assisting Jiaozhi, and we will be responsible for more common equipment."

To put it bluntly, the planes and missiles are all provided by the Russians. Whether to sell them or give them away is up to them to communicate among themselves. We are responsible for providing food, supplies, individual weapons and some high-value weapons. Anyway, our part is free aid.

Although it sounds a bit of a loss, it is better to keep the war on someone else's land than to let it spread to one's own home. Gao Zhendong thought about it and felt that it was not such a big loss.

"Then should we still provide the army weapons in the same form and model as before?" a comrade asked.

Imitation AK-47, imitation SKS, old 40 fire, recoilless gun, etc.

The comrades from the Defense Work Committee and the Army looked at each other and said, "Well, I think this is fine. They are familiar with these weapons and don't need to learn much. They can use them right away. The weapons don't have to be advanced, the main thing is to be suitable."

Everyone knows we have better ones, but these better ones are under export control.

"But isn't the range of the old 40mm rifle a bit low?" a comrade asked. Gao Zhendong raised his hand and said, "The combat there is mainly in the jungle, so the range of the old 40mm rifle is sufficient."

There isn't much open space in the jungle, and the old 40mm rifle's range of several dozen meters is just right.

"Where's the power?"

"It's powerful enough to deal with the American armored vehicles and cause fatal damage to their main tanks. Moreover, given the terrain in Jiaozhi, they are more likely to use light vehicles, so the old 40 fire is more suitable," Gao Zhendong added.

As the deputy chief designer of the second-generation tank and the provider of most new technologies, Gao Zhendong's words carry a lot of weight.

However, Gao Zhendong did not block all the roads. He was happy to cause more trouble for the Citigroup bosses.

"But we can provide them with some grenade launchers. In the jungle, this kind of lightweight, long-range individual explosive weapon is very useful and flexible." Anyway, this thing was made by the Citigroup themselves. In the end, after South Jiaozhi was wiped out by North Jiaozhi, North Jiaozhi had quite a few of them. They can get them whether they give it to them or not.

Well, this equipment expert comrade is very considerate of the Jiaozhi comrades and is able to adapt to local conditions, the foreign affairs military attaché thought.

As for the navy, they were very generous.

"We should replace the missile boats that we have just installed for one or two years as soon as possible and provide them to our comrades in Jiaozhi, so that they will not be completely defenseless at sea." Gao Zhendong laughed when he heard this. Crowdfunding, right?

The comrades in the foreign affairs department were overjoyed, and the comrades in the navy were really willing to give up. They had just changed their uniforms and made great sacrifices for the liberation of Comrade Jiaozhi.

Missile boats are good things. They give the comrades in Jiaozhi some confidence to risk a small amount for a big gain. The destroyer that was sunk, which was the fuse for Citibank's full involvement this time, proves this point.

Only the Defense Working Committee glanced at the comrades from the Navy and smiled without saying anything. They are each more cunning than the other.

He calculated in his mind that after all this, the batch of imitation 6621 boats equipped with Zhengxian No. after the successful imitation was sold or given away, and almost all of them were gone. If anyone wanted to buy more, they had to produce them now. This was really...

A civilian staff member of the Foreign Affairs Department, according to the decision of his superiors, put forward a request: "Comrades, we still have to ensure a transportation line to Jiaozhi at sea. At the same time, we can hope to reduce the channel for the American people to enter northern Jiaozhi from the sea to bomb, and reduce the air defense pressure of the comrades in northern Jiaozhi."

The comrades frowned at this request.

The navy comrade said: "We can guarantee a transportation line to Jiaozhi together with the air force. There is no problem."

We can still guarantee this sea transportation line from Tianya Island and western Guangdong Province through Beihai Bay. First, apart from reconnaissance and harassment, the Americans dare not launch formal air strikes and combat against us.

Even if we put aside the possibility of angering us, the planes taking off from South Jiaozhi are already quite far from the North Bay, especially the fighter jets. When the transport ship moves along the coastline in the north of the North Bay, it is almost out of the escort radius of the fighter jets.

Just rely on bombers to bomb? Give them face! The comrades in the Air Force have long been sharpening their knives to attack the pigs and sheep. Not to mention that there is no escort, even if there is an escort, the comrades in the Air Force dare to guarantee that the Citigroup plane will never return.

As for aircraft carriers, to be honest, if they are put against land-based aviation forces backed by the mainland, the aircraft carriers will be more likely to die than to survive, unless their fighter jets have a clear generational advantage.

Following the explanation given by the comrades from the navy and air force, other comrades nodded one after another. This matter was not difficult.

But the second requirement is more difficult.

The comrades in the Air Force said, "We can't do that. We have no reason to do so. The most we can do is send our air defense forces to help them with air defense on land, but at sea, we don't have much to do. After all, we are not fighting the Citigroups. In theory, as long as the Citigroup planes are a certain distance away from us, even if we see them carrying weapons, we can only watch. We have to be reasonable."

During the Jiaozhi War, all the American planes we shot down were shot down with good reasons. We did not chase them to the sea to fight. After all, they really did not use ground troops to cross the 17th parallel, and we also needed to develop ourselves.

The comrades from the foreign affairs department frowned. This was a difficult situation.

It is indeed feasible to send air defense forces over there to quietly help North Jiaozhi with its air defense. I think Citi and we have a tacit understanding on this matter, just like Citi planes will also cross the line to attack.
