Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1169 I am a barbarian!

However, if we fail to cut off the air passage that the Americans use to attack North Jiaozhi from the sea, North Jiaozhi's air force and air defense forces will actually have some difficulties even with our help.

Anyone who plays defense knows that defending an open area is much more difficult than defending a valley.

"Is there any other way?"

The air force comrade said: "We can use our latest anti-aircraft missiles to help them with air defense, but there is a problem. As I said before, without legal basis, our air force cannot provide cover for the air defense forces."

The Air Force now has mobile multiple-tube solid air defense missiles, which is a bit like the mentality of holding a hammer and looking at everyone as a nail.

Gao Zhendong knew that our air defense forces in Beijiaozhi still suffered a lot of losses. For the Air Force, the air defense forces are also the flesh and blood of their hands, so it is better to avoid losses if possible.

"Then we have to rely on our comrades in Jiaozhi to provide protection..."

Gao Zhendong shook his head in his heart. If they had the ability to provide cover, why would they need help from our air defense forces?
Moreover, this matter is not a question of whether the Air Force can win or not, but a matter of different identities, which is something the Citigroup guys dare not do.

But Gao Zhendong has an idea about this matter.

He raised his hand.

"Ah, Comrade Zhendong, you speak." The comrades in the Air Force were quite happy. They knew that when Gao Zhendong raised his hand, he must have some insights.

Comrades from the foreign affairs department also looked over.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "If we just want to compress their passage, I do have a way, but it requires the cooperation of Comrade Jiaozhi." For his thoughts, Gao Zhendong pinched his nose and called out "comrade".

The comrade from the foreign affairs department was delighted: "Come on, comrade, tell me."

Gao Zhendong pointed fiercely at a location in the middle of North Bay on the map.

"We just need to be able to legally protect the airspace of this place, and then your ideas can be realized to a large extent."

Everyone turned around and looked, here?

——Beijiao Island!

The leader of the Defense Work Committee had a look of confusion on his face. This kid was still so cruel.

To be honest, it was just an island, and the higher-ups had already made the decision, so Gao Zhendong wouldn't be so petty. But when he thought that the other side was an ungrateful person, he felt very upset. So he wanted to stir up trouble like crazy.

This place? It's a bit troublesome now. At least legally we can't protect the airspace of this island. This is the same dilemma as sending air defense forces. For various reasons, the island is now theoretically managed by Comrade Jiaozhi.

But regardless of whether it is troublesome or not, this place does not meet the requirements.

The comrades from the foreign affairs department were somewhat puzzled: "Here? This place is 120 kilometers away from the Jiaozhi coastline. Even if this is our airspace, this distance is too far. The territorial waters we recognize cannot reduce the attack channel of the Citigroup aircraft, right?"

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "First, from a combat perspective, as long as we can legally deploy anti-aircraft missiles here, within the range of the anti-aircraft missiles, the Citi people will not come over when launching a large-scale attack."

"So what's the range of our anti-aircraft missiles?"

The comrade from the Air Force frowned and gave the answer first: "30 kilometers." This distance is a bit short.

The military attaché of the foreign affairs department naturally understood: "Comrade, does 30 kilometers mean nothing in suppressing the enemy's attack? After all, the closest distance between this island and the Jiaozhi coastline is more than 100 kilometers."

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Let's not talk about the range issue for now, it's not the most important thing here..."

The comrades in the Air Force understood it immediately. Comrade Zhendong certainly knew that we still have missiles with at least double the range under development, and the progress is not slow. However, from what he said it didn't seem that simple.

As expected, Gao Zhendong continued, "... The most important thing is that as long as we set up the radar of our latest air defense missile system on the highest peak of Beijiao Island, we can control the sky within a radius of 150 kilometers. As long as the Citigroup passes through here, they will be discovered by our radar, which in fact has the effect of compressing the Citigroup's air attack channel. Moreover, after the Citigroup has suffered losses, they will inevitably bypass this range, and their attack channel will be compressed to the south."

A height of 60 meters is enough.

"The range of this missile is only 30 kilometers, how come the radar can see 150 kilometers?" The people from the foreign affairs department looked at the comrades from the Air Force, thinking that it would be better for the Air Force to answer this question.

Gao Zhendong didn't wait for the Air Force to answer and directly took over the conversation: "You just need to know that this matter is true. As for why, that is not your question. Under normal circumstances, you are not even supposed to know the distance of 150 kilometers, hahaha."

Gao Zhendong laughed and said that the reason had to do with technical details.

The foreign affairs department has a senior leader here, who looks at the comrades in his department and says, “Well, in this regard, you just listen to Comrade Zhendong.”

The person from the Foreign Affairs Department nodded, but still asked the comrade from the Air Force: "From a tactical point of view, is this the situation?"

The comrade from the Air Force glanced at him and said, "Just listen to Comrade Zhendong on this matter." Before they could ask any more questions, Gao Zhendong added, "And in this way, almost the entire Beihai Bay is covered by this island. With our aircraft, the entire Beihai Bay is ours. Our transport ships supporting them don't need to stay close to the coastline to avoid the enemy, but can take the shortest route to the destination. We are still poor, so every penny counts."

A comrade from the Foreign Affairs Department said, "But isn't this a bit..."

He didn't finish the rest of his words, and I don't know whether he wanted to say "taking advantage of someone's misfortune" or "adding insult to injury".

Gao Zhendong burst into laughter: "I am a barbarian!!"

This means not pretending. This sentence comes from "Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of Chu".

——"In the thirty-fifth year, Chu attacked Sui. Sui said, 'I am innocent.' Chu said, 'I am a barbarian.'"

If the original text is the full text, the meaning is actually slightly different from the above sentence, but later it was mostly used to express an attitude.

Stop talking nonsense, I like this thing!

The comrades looked at each other in confusion. This was too direct.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "I am a technician. I was a soldier back then. I don't think much about anything. I only think about the best technical solution and how to reduce the number of casualties. From a technical point of view, I think that with the radar station on this island, combined with the anti-aircraft missiles and aircraft provided by the Russians, it will be able to help the Jiaozhi people complete their air defense mission."

How important situational awareness is to air defense, the Gaul Rafale will tell the world in a few decades.

He knew that he was rather straightforward today, but there was nothing he could do. Facing an ungrateful person, how good-tempered could a time traveler like him be?

The people from the National Defense Committee and the Air Force looked at him and smiled happily.

"Yes, that's right. This will greatly compress the Citi people's offensive route, and the air defense pressure of Comrade Jiaozhi will be greatly reduced."

The comrade from the Air Force didn't finish his words, but his meaning was somewhat revealed: if the pressure is reduced, there will be no need for so many air defense troops to go there. It is impossible for all of them not to go, but it is still possible to send fewer people.

Gao Zhendong knew very well that our troops had lost more than 1000 men and more than 4000 men, and the biggest loss was in the air defense force. Damn, the loss was much greater than the loss in the fight against the enemy.

The leader of the Defense Committee also nodded: "Well, if that's the case, it will indeed greatly relieve the air defense pressure on Comrade Jiaozhi. We let it pass back then, and now for the sake of the struggle, it's not impossible to do something convenient."

It would be fine if there is no good solution, but if I don’t use the good solution, I feel like I’m losing out.

After that, Gao Zhendong didn't say much. He only spoke up to stop the discussion when he thought the specifications of the supplied weapons were above the model. For example, for tanks, he firmly believed that the blank 5DL was unnecessary and the T-34/85 would be enough.

"What a joke! The terrain in Jiaozhi and their fighting style are not suitable for large-scale tank warfare. The 5DL is too heavy and will get stuck if it passes through. It will bring losses to our comrades in Jiaozhi. The T-34/85 is 7 to 8 tons lighter and is more suitable for the tropical rainforest terrain there."

When applying eye drops, you can call him "comrade". Gao Zhendong is very clear about this.

Gao Zhendong hadn't said anything else. The 5DL was waiting to be changed to the 5DL, and it was not enough for itself, so it might as well be fed to the wolves.

The army comrades nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, Comrade Zhendong is right. When it comes to equipment, the main thing is whether it is suitable. It doesn't mean that it will be good if the indicators are good."

Except for situations like this, at other times, he didn't say much, or he didn't want to talk much.

When the meeting was adjourned, the leader of the Defense Work Committee called Gao Zhendong over.

"Are you wary of them, or do you not trust them?"

As the leader of the ministry that has the most dealings with Gao Zhendong, the Defense Work Committee is very clear about how warm and considerate Gao Zhendong is when it comes to domestic affairs.

Even when dealing with the affairs of Seba, Pharaoh, Gaul and other countries, Gao Zhendong was not so vigilant. He almost openly and secretly blocked all high-tech equipment assistance to the Jiaozhi people.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "I think they may not be able to be fed enough or bred well. It's not that I think we must treat them as sons. I don't have that idea. I just think that they may bite us back."

"That's not right..." The leader of the Defense Work Committee said it was wrong, but he had a happy smile on his face.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Leader, I may not be that selfless. I only consider the problems of our own country. I may be scolded, but my idea is very simple. If I take the scolding now, my descendants may not have so many troubles in the future."

This was said in a playful and even joking manner, but the leader of the Defense Work Committee was stunned by what he said, his eyes full of admiration.

After a long while, he patted Gao Zhendong on the shoulder and said, "Interesting, good idea. Remember, this is not something that can be passed on to others."

After saying that, he laughed and walked out with Gao Zhendong.
