Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1211 The Citigroup Man Who Worried His Brains (5k)

Gao Zhendong was stunned when he heard this, and patted his head. "That's right, that's right. Okay, from a theoretical point of view, there is only one method left. There is no rush. I suggest you stay at our Third Branch Factory Guesthouse. It's a new building with good conditions, food, and safety. It's convenient for you to find me. Just think of it as me attracting customers to our factory guesthouse."

The comrades all laughed. Chief Engineer Gao was quite humorous. But think about it, everyone knows that with such a comrade here, the guesthouse of this factory is definitely the best in terms of security, not to mention anything else, and it is probably not much worse than that of the Defense Work Committee.

Gao Zhendong said there was no rush, but in fact his comrades knew it well. In just this one afternoon, the research on domestic sound-absorbing tile materials was pushed forward by at least 20 years!
This is certain. The material Gao Zhendong obtained was a monograph, which could be said to have ignored the entire process of previous theoretical research and presented it in the form of results. It was definitely a considerable step forward.

With this judgment, the comrades really feel that there is no rush. Chief Engineer Gao has saved us so much time, so it is a very cost-effective thing to take a few days to lay a solid foundation.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Comrades have never fought such a prosperous war.
-
South Jiaozhi, the garrison headquarters of the American people.

For them, the drone being shot down and being singled out by us as an example to the public is not a big deal, as they have done this many times.

To be honest, Citigroup not only has the advantage of low human rights, but also has the advantage of low morality.

As the saying goes, if a person has no shame, he is invincible, and the same is true for a country.

You can scold me as much as you want, I will just continue to do the bad things, it won’t affect me much.

But they are happy that drone reconnaissance has proven to be effective!
This worked, not to say that the reconnaissance was successful, but that at least no one died!
If the person is a third or fourth class person, the Citigroup guys can define him as missing, non-combat death, accidental death, etc. based on various reasons and rules in order to save face and maintain morale. At the same time, they can also use this as an excuse to delay, reduce or even not pay any related expenses.

But when it comes to second-class and first-class people, it is not so easy to use. These are high-level soldiers, not 50-dollar good brothers. Death in an accident is still death, and an accident is also something that happened on a plane or on a ship. The necessary face must still be maintained, and the money that should be paid must not be reduced by a penny.

Moreover, it is too expensive to train such high-level soldiers, and it is not possible to obtain a continuous supply of them by simply making a clause and promising a green card or something.

It is difficult to escape the compensation, the cost is high, and it is difficult to replenish them, so for Citigroup people, the loss of pilots is extremely painful. This has nothing to do with humanity. They have never had such a thing. It is not right. There is still some in the movie. It is probably to promote what is lacking.

Therefore, when the Firebee was shot down, Citigroup people were happy about it. It was not because they were celebrating a funeral, but because they really thought that drones were useful.

Even the Firebee, a reconnaissance equipment with excellent maneuverability, flight altitude and radar reflection area, was shot down. The Citigroup members knew very well that replacing it with anything else would not be much better. The increasingly tough opponent had shot down almost all of their main reconnaissance equipment.

The low-altitude P-2V, the high-altitude RB-57 and U-2, the unmanned Firebee, etc.

Since none of them are safe, it is better to use unmanned ones.

I have to say that although the starting point and the underlying logic are somewhat flawed, there is nothing wrong with Citigroup's conclusion, and it can be regarded as an alternative way of "a bunch of bugs can work".

Moreover, Citigroup people believe that compared with expensive manned reconnaissance aircraft, cheap unmanned reconnaissance aircraft will eventually succeed by increasing their numbers and sorties. The value of probability theory is fully revealed at this moment.

Therefore, it became a very necessary and urgent matter for the Citi garrison in Jiaozhi to obtain more drones.

"Mr. General, I will apply for more BQM-147s from the country. I need your help in this matter. If your name can appear on my application documents, I think it will be more useful than my own name." The Air Force Commander said to the garrison commander.

"What other ideas do you have?" The garrison commander had no objection to this. This was a win-win situation for both of them, both in terms of combat and from a personal perspective. It was a public and private matter.

Although this was a good thing, the garrison commander was well aware that this would not be of much help in improving the situation of the Huaqi army when facing the Orientals.

In fact, more drones are just to show the country that we are doing something, that's all. However, the unreliable reconnaissance success rate makes this action of little practical significance. It may make a difference in a certain battle at a certain moment and have certain tactical significance, but overall, it does not have much strategic significance.

This is just like when evaluating S2, many Hans fans and traitors always think that if a certain weapon is successful, or is used in a certain way, it can change the outcome of the war. In fact, for the general situation, these things are of no use.

Not to mention that these equipments were actually the whims and desperate ideas of the Hans and the Japanese when they were desperate. The ideas were very new and unique, but due to the lack of sufficient resources and time to develop, they often did not even have practical tactical significance, such as the Alberich material of the submarine, not to mention the abstract things like the Japanese "Kaiten" and "Sakura".

The Citigroup commander in Jiaozhi naturally knew the ins and outs of this. Most of the Firebees just told others that they were doing things, but if they wanted to truly solve or alleviate the pressure that the Orientals brought to their troops, they still had to do something.

And it has to be a big move that can change the situation. For a country as large as Oriental, small-scale actions will not solve the problem.

At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

A small action is better than nothing.

If you move too much...you'll get into trouble!

This big move cannot be carried out by ourselves, otherwise it would be very troublesome to get hit by a blow before the work is done.

The commander of the Citi Air Force stationed in Jiaozhi was the first to jump out: "No matter what, we must find a way to change this situation. The strategic locations of the Jiaozhi people are protected by a large number of White Bear weapons. If we fight hard from land, we will suffer heavy losses. Attacking from the sea is also very limited. You will never feel the tension of the guys on the plane when they advance a little further at sea and the radar tracking alarm sounds in the cockpit!"

Contrary to what most people imagine, during the Jiaozhi War, the air force's ground attacks did not play a very significant role. To a certain extent, the attacking aircraft were somewhat vulnerable to the nascent air defense missiles and the three-dimensional air defense network composed of fighter jets. The Americans suffered heavy aircraft losses in Jiaozhi.

For example, the Qinghua Bridge in Beijiaozhi was bombed by the Citizens' overwhelming planes for seven years, but it remained standing thanks to the desperate defense of Beijiaozhi!
In the end, they were left with no other options and had to invent laser-guided bombs, which ultimately led to their success. Since then, precision-guided munitions, also known as smart munitions in the early days, have officially entered the arena of war, representing a turning point in the transformation of air offensive forces into an advantage in the face of anti-aircraft firepower.

However, in this world line, we were the first to gain the upper hand in the field of precision-guided munitions. This turning point came relatively early, but we were the only ones at the turning point while other forces were still madly rushing along the road of laying carpets with iron bombs. Only the Russians took a little action after visiting the firepower display organized by us, but due to the problem of technical capability, they did not achieve any results in such a short period of time.

The commander looked at several senior commanders around him and said, "Gentlemen, we must do something to change this unfavorable situation. What suggestions do you have for this?"

Suggestions? In fact, everyone has his idea, but the reality is that this thing is not so easy. The reason why a problem becomes a problem is that no one can do it.

If it were another country, they could completely control the scale and intensity, slowly consume and squeeze the other party's living space in the North Bay waters, and slowly squeeze them out. They could even launch a violent attack to solve the problem at one time, because no one could do anything to them anyway. But the problem now is that with the ability that the Orientals have shown now, they can't squeeze them out at all, and the probability of them delivering goods to their door is higher.

If they want to use force, the best option for the Citigroup guys is to take advantage of their numbers, but this brings up a problem - it will trigger conflicts that they dare not even imagine.

Orientals and Jiaozhi people are bordering! This easily reminds Citi people of the scene more than ten years ago. The founding war, this is not the Orientals bragging, but an indisputable fact. That war made all the world powers realize that this country is no longer what everyone imagined in the past 100 years.

Moreover, the terrain of Jiaozhi is narrower than that of the peninsula. In such a situation where it is difficult to deploy troops, it is easier for the Easterners to play their asymmetric advantages in certain aspects. Moreover, they can also borrow the neighboring country in the west, which makes it even more difficult.

A Citigroup employee thought for a long time and asked, "Can we put some pressure on the Orientals from South Asia? Maybe they have some advanced weapons, but not enough. If South Asia can exert enough pressure, they will have to mobilize their existing forces, and they will not be able to take care of Indochina."

The commander thought for a moment and shook his head. "Your idea is good, but you chose the wrong helper. In South Asia, although Xiba has a good relationship with us and accepts our assistance, after the Orientals beat up the Sindhu people, Xiba undoubtedly has a natural affinity with the Orientals and a deeper basis for communication. Even without these, it is impossible to let Xiba cause trouble for the Orientals."

He knew very well that it was impossible for the army of Izebab, which was weaker than that of Sindhu, to provoke the Orientals. The Orientals would be considered defeated if they even looked at them.

Not to mention that with the Sindhu presence, it was impossible for Xiba to have conflicts with the Orientals. They had even completed the work of surveying and demarcating the border with the Orientals at the fastest speed.

"No, no, no, I'm talking about the Sindhu people..."

The commander couldn't help laughing. This was too funny. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Have you seen the original text of the 'peace treaty' signed between the Sindhu people and the Orientals? I have. Judging from the original text, the Sindhu people, who have in fact been divided into three or even more parts, will never have any disrespect for the Orientals in the short term. Moreover, no matter which part they are in, they all recognize the validity of this treaty. Not to mention that the Weinan region, which is the most stressful area for the Orientals, borders the Republic of Assam, which is... this power."

Although the details of the treaty were kept secret, the flexibility of the Sindhu people meant that when they faced the Citibank people internally, they were like a sieve.

"Then...why did both the Southern and Northern Sindhu report that they had won the victory over the Orientals and had driven them out of their territory? Such an optimistic attitude doesn't seem like they have completely given up resistance."

In this matter, Citi Commander, who has access to more information, has more say.

"That's just the Sindhu government playing tricks on the fools in their country. And the Sindhu people have a characteristic, they think that as long as they think this way, then things must happen this way. You can't treat the people of that place as normal people. In fact, the Orientals have never set foot in Sindhu."

The others then began to understand a little bit. This ability was truly not something that ordinary people could possess.

After thinking for a while, someone suggested: "How about... the Japanese? As we all know, Orientals have a natural interest in fighting the Japanese, and are even very eager to do so. In this regard, using the Japanese to tease the Orientals can achieve better results."

If we can still suppress the anger of the Chinese people towards the Japanese decades later, then at this moment when the Japanese have surrendered less than 20 years ago, using the Japanese to ignite the powder keg of the Chinese people can almost be said to be a % success and will definitely ignite at one stroke.

The commander was horrified: "You are fucking crazy!!! This way, we can't control the intensity of the subsequent development of the matter at all! Remember, Orientals have a natural sense of justice and strong expectations for fighting the Japanese. If there may be many disagreements among Orientals about other countries, they will not have any disagreements about fighting the Japanese now! The consequences of that are very unpredictable! Put away your dangerous ideas! Don't try to provoke any incidents with our troops stationed in Japan."

"But the Easterners lack the power to project power at sea, which makes it easier to control the intensity, and our sea and air advantages can be better utilized."

The commander stationed in Jiaozhi said sternly: "Have you forgotten that they have the ability to send nuclear warheads 3500 kilometers away? Moreover, we do not have much advantage in their coastal waters, especially in the air! Remember, this cannot be done by us, nor by the Japanese. No matter how profitable the war is, it is Wall Street that makes the money, and we are going to fight the Orientals in the front! This is too dangerous, and it is beyond the price Wall Street can pay!"

Seeing his attitude, the others stopped.

"How about... Danggui Province. This seems much more normal. Moreover, the size and strategic significance of Danggui Province are enough to contain the Orientals firmly."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but he forgot one thing.

"You are right, but there is a problem. Danggui Province will not completely obey us on such an important matter. This is also a very dangerous thing for them. Now they have to rely on the tacit understanding between them and the Orientals to even supply the distant islands. They simply do not have enough ability and courage to take the initiative to provoke the other side in the near future. Remember, for Danggui Province, no matter how advanced their weapons and great capabilities are, they are always on the defensive strategically!"

For Danggui Province, they would not hesitate to sacrifice a few pilots, spies, etc. to please the Citibank boss, but once things escalate to the level that may cut off their own roots, they will not be so obedient.

At this time, Danggui Province had not yet reached the point where it had completely servilely served the United States. It was still much tougher than the South Peninsula and the Japanese.

Having said that, the garrison commander seemed to remember something.

"But... speaking of Angelica Province, your words reminded me that maybe there is something we can do."

"General, what wonderful idea do you have?"

The garrison commander seemed to be recalling something: "If I remember correctly, last year, my colleagues stationed in Lusong mentioned a very interesting idea. But later, due to the influence of a series of failed military operations such as Lusong Island, Danggui Province, and South Jiaozhi, their confidence in this idea was shaken and they gave up the possibility of further realization. Now it seems that we should discuss with our partners in Lusong and pick this matter up again."

The others immediately became interested. After all, the pressure and suppression they were under above the North Bay were too great and they urgently needed to change this situation.

"General, what do you think?"

The commander stationed in Jiaozhi pointed his finger at a blue area on the map: "Here! Their idea is..."

After listening to his introduction, the others took a breath.

"This requires the mobilization of multiple parties including Danggui, Lu Song, and Nan Jiaozhi to take joint action, which is not easy."

It sounds easy, but they are not optimistic about the ability of Lu Song and Nan Jiaozhi to take action with this kind of joint action.

The garrison commander shook his head: "No, no, no, you are wrong. Danggui cannot be transferred. At least on the surface, they will never cooperate. Don't forget, they are also a branch of the Orientals. They can't afford to lose face like this! They can only wait for an opportunity. As for the coordination of actions, as long as they are deliberate and unintentional, Lü Song and Nan Jiaozhi's ability to act is not good, but the time difference is enough!"
