What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 169 Eradicate dissidents
In Goose City, Li Baoming was overjoyed.

"Tora Tiger Tiger" did not live up to the prime time slot given to it, nor did it live up to the huge investment cost.

Although it seemed like it cost less than 200,000, that was a large portion of the cost of manpower, aircraft, and warships. Many of the materials were also provided by Gaijin, which ordinary crews could not film at all.

The movie premiered the day before yesterday and immediately won 18% of the local viewership ratings!

This is the first day, there is no publicity, and the completion rate is very high.

By the next night, it had reached a new local high of 41%, and with some effort, it could even reach 50%!

If it weren't for the sudden insertion of an advertisement for the Greater Bay Area tourist area at the end of the movie, he guaranteed that no one would think it was a well-made foreign war movie.

There are not many entertainment programs on TV these days. Local stations usually broadcast TV dramas from major TV stations in the evening, and the audience is limited to the local group.

Recently, domestically-produced aircraft carriers and battleships have become popular again. People's interest in warships has almost reached its peak, and their interest in war films is also extremely strong.

As soon as "Tora Tiger Tiger" was broadcast, it immediately became a star movie in the hearts of local people. It was spread a little bit so that almost everyone had seen it.

After such exaggerated data appeared, it attracted the attention of Guangdong Provincial Radio and Television Station. They wondered why this movie was broadcast without a version number. Finally, they asked Goose City TV Station and found out that it was actually an advertisement.

Today, people's understanding of commercials is still limited to exaggerated and intuitive low-quality animations, or direct dry text + picture promotions. The concept of micro-films can be considered extremely advanced, and the operation of directly shooting movies for promotion is incredible even to the CCTV.

The provincial satellite TV station immediately got the original tape and tried it out in the afternoon and evening of the next day, and then it quickly reached an 8% viewership rating in the province.

The key point is that although it was clearly an advertisement, the provincial TV station did not ask for any advertising fees!
Even the official commercial clip at the end of the movie was not cut. The ending scene shows Dawan trying to organize 24 planes to fly in sequence. Then the extras in the movie are wearing uniforms, standing at the airport and on the battleship. Finally, Commander Kimura Jin puts down the binoculars and points at the lens:
"Come to Da Wan and fight with us!"

But the provincial TV station certainly would not take advantage of the situation. It very skillfully divided the movie into three parts, and then inserted two 30-second advertising spots, using the advertising video to attract advertisers and then make a fortune.

Echeng TV Station received an award from the province, which not only means it can obtain more resource support, but also makes Li Baoming famous. He may even be able to get a promotion before retirement. Everyone is happy.

Moreover, with the popularity of the movie, the Great Bay War Tourism Area has become a household name at an extremely fast speed.

The "Domestic Pearl Harbor" with real planes and real warships as selling points immediately became famous, and what followed was Tang Wen's lavish spending, buying front-page advertisements in newspapers in the province and neighboring provinces, spending millions of real money.

The newspaper's headline was "Real Filming Locations for War Blockbusters," and it took a lot of pictures of planes and warships, listing the projects directly.

What about 100% authentic restoration of battleship scenes, riding in real fighter jets through anti-aircraft fire; controlling real naval gun shooting, 24-hour warship travel, taking you through time, and experiencing real historical naval battles.

A gaming paradise for parents and children, a romantic trip for men, a Hawaiian experience for women, a six-star hotel, Gold Coast beaches, assault boat landings, deserted island survival, and catching lobsters by yourself.

Tang Wen even added a "Battleship Winter Camp" project, organizing a 1-day battleship winter camp during the January winter vacation, taking the children to play the role of sailors sailing on the sea and experience a different sailor life.

7 days of winter camp, a lifetime of military love!

After a series of dazzling moves, Tang Wen used almost all the methods of later generations, and left the rest to fate.

……

In the evening, Tang Wen talked to Lao Zhang on the phone and talked about the "Pioneer Cannon".

"Lao Zhang, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using naval guns to attack satellites?"

Lao Zhang: “At first, I thought the 460mm caliber was too large and it would be a shame to dismantle it, so I asked someone to evaluate the gun-launched rocket.

It turned out that someone was from Project 640, so I wrote it down as I felt it was about right.

"Can it really be used against satellites?" "Of course not!"

Lao Zhang told the truth that although Dr. Bull could develop a three-stage propulsion rocket shell, China had neither Dr. Bull nor a strong industrial base like foreign countries.

The performance of the Vanguard was roughly equivalent to the mid-level level of Dr. Bull's "Barbatos Cannon," after which it was scrapped.

It is barely possible to fire at an altitude of over 100 kilometers, and it is possible to fire at a range of kilometers to the ground with some effort, but the problem is that the amount of gunpowder is a bit small and the accuracy is not very high.

Without GPS terminal correction and terminal guidance, it would be difficult to achieve an effective strike unless it is a nuclear artillery shell.

But the country is not a nuclear maniac like the Russians, and nuclear artillery shells have long been eliminated by superpowers and have little significance in the current situation.

If conventional ammunition is used, it is unknown how much the deflection will be at a distance of hundreds of kilometers, and the destructive power of at most 100 kilograms of conventional explosives is not interesting.

Even if we really want to develop nuclear artillery shells, we need the support of Beidou satellite guidance. At present, domestic satellite navigation is far from enough. Any more will greatly reduce the amount of explosives."

Tang Wen: "What if Lao Mi believes it?"

Lao Zhang: "Then... let's just copy it."

……

Pentagonal Building.

Secretary Jeh Johnson convened a meeting of technical department heads and military officers on the theme of "Anti-Satellite Cannon" to demonstrate the application of this technology in the "DD-21" program.

Last year, the Imperial Navy planned to develop the next generation of main battleships based on the Arleigh Burke, and was divided into two factions:

One faction is the "arsenal ship" plan supported by former Minister General Michael Burda, but it is different from the arsenal ship promoted by Tang Wen:
Michael hopes to build an all-missile warship of tens of thousands of tons and carrying more than 500 missiles. It does not have electronic detection capabilities and its speed is not high. It emphasizes missiles rather than combat platforms.

The other faction is the next-generation shield ship plan supported by Jeh Johnson, which is centered on two AGS main guns with a range of 185 kilometers, emphasizing land combat support and cheap firepower. The final result is the DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer, now code-named "DD-21".

DDG-1000 represents the Imperial Navy's ideological shift from sea to land. Since no force can compete with them for supremacy at sea, the Navy's greatest possibility in the future is to provide fire support for landing forces around the world.

The DDG-1000 and the Littoral Combat Ship are both products of this approach, but it turns out that this approach is completely wrong:
The core weapons of the Zumwalt class are two AGS naval guns, but ultimately failed to meet the requirements. The planned construction of 28 ships was stopped after three ships were built due to the error of "from sea to land", and some even had to be dismantled, wasting twenty years and tens of billions of dollars in vain.

Michael's ideas actually represented the correct future, and arsenal ships became a new trend in the 20s.

However, due to internal strife, in May this year, Michael, a general, was forced to commit suicide by shooting himself for wearing the wrong medal, and the arsenal ship plan disappeared in an instant.

But after Michael's death, the supporters of the Arsenal Ship still existed and kept trying to seek justice for Michael, which gave Jay a headache.

Now, there is finally an opportunity to silence the dissenting voices:

The Tokyo-based military installed the "Vanguard Anti-Missile Cannon" on its battleships, which can reach a range of up to 4000 kilometers, more than 1000 times that of the DDG-20 project!
What does this mean? It means that the AGS artillery route is correct, and even potential opponents are vigorously developing it!
The move from sea to land is right, and the AGS artillery is also right. Not only should it be developed, but the indicators are too conservative.

The 1.4-ton DDG-1000 can only carry a 155mm AGS naval gun. If it wants to reach a range of thousands of kilometers, it needs a large hull of at least 300 or even tons, and the caliber must be above mm.

Congress should support the DDG-1000 with greater force, approve more funding, and build larger and more powerful guns and ships.

As for those who doubt the authenticity of the Pioneer anti-missile cannon? Jay said, "I definitely believe it. I'd rather believe it exists than not."

If the Pioneer anti-missile cannon is fake, how can we prove the correctness of DDG1000 and AGS artillery?
Even though Jay didn't believe Feng Qianjun's nonsense in his heart, in order to eliminate those opposing voices, the fake had to be true.

This is not simply a question of the authenticity of intelligence, but a question of choosing the future development path of the Imperial Navy!
