Chapter 245: The attack order is suspended
"Okay, I'm looking forward to Skunk Works getting the miniature laser guidance system in the lab on bullets as soon as possible, so that's all for today's meeting, goodbye. ”
After saying that, Zhou Ming turned around to leave, his move made everyone stunned, they were in the laser system laboratory of the Skunk Factory Kingston Laboratory at the moment, they were wearing chemical protective suits, and Dr. Douglas was holding a chip that was only half the size of a fingernail, which was obviously a miniature laser guidance system developed in the Skunk Factory.
Zhou Ming wanted to leave, but was pulled by Edward and asked, "Mr. Zhou Ming, are you going to leave like this?"
Zhou Ming asked rhetorically with some puzzlement: "Otherwise, didn't Dr. Douglas just tell us about the role of this miniature laser guidance system, and using their newly developed crystal materials, it can be reduced by half in size, and most importantly, it can be completely adapted to the desert environment, and can be applied to the battlefield in Iraq? So what are we doing here? Stay and taste the lunch at the Skunk Factory?"
At this time, Dr. Douglas had already put the chip back, and when he heard Zhou Ming's words, he also teased: "If it's lunch, I think I can also find a Chinese chef for you, or you can also consider California steak." ”
"Although I know that Skunk Works doesn't mean the smell of this place, but that the location was too unsophisticated, but you know that those two words make me have no appetite for dining here, whether it's Chinese food or Californian steak, as if as long as I'm still standing here, I can smell a puffy smell. Zhou Ming said.
Edward was completely dumbfounded, what was this?
"Mr. Zhou Ming, what I want to say is that we only look at the miniature laser guidance system now, but this is a skunk factory that represents the future of military technology, should we look at the others?" Edward asked.
Edward said this is undoubtedly very tactful, in fact, if he could, he really wanted to say to Zhou Ming: Are you an idiot? We have come all the way to Skunk Factory, which is the most cutting-edge aircraft research and development center, which can not only develop the F16, but also the kind of stealth aircraft that cannot be detected by radar, don't you have any idea of this? You only chose one bullet?
Although this bullet is equipped with a miniature laser guidance system, which can ensure the maximum concentration of the target, what is the use of this thing? Can it change Iraq, which is besieged by more than 600,000 legions, or can it kill all the American soldiers who want to log in with one shot? But it is more like a poor ghost peasant who enters a treasure trove and doesn't know what to do!
Zhou Ming looked at Edward with a smile and asked him: "Mr. Governor, do you have a way to transport planes like the F117 and F16 to Iraq? Or do you think you can transport a few tactical or strategic missiles?"
These words instantly woke up Edward like Huang Zhongdalu, and made him suddenly realize that their opponent was the US military, and what they wanted to help was Iraq as the enemy of the United Nations army, and they were fundamentally on the opposite side of supporting the justice of the whole world.
Of course, as a qualified politician, there is no justice in his eyes, but the key is that the target of these things is too big, and now Iraq has long been blockaded by the US military, not only fighter planes or tanks and armored vehicles, there is no way to hide the 24-hour uninterrupted surveillance of US reconnaissance planes and satellites in the air, if once caught, it will be treason, and Edward is not willing to bear such a heavy charge.
On the contrary, Zhou Mingxuan's bullet has no such concerns, he can pull a cart back by just finding a donkey cart, the target itself is very small, and even if he is caught, he can't verify who transported it.
It turned out that Zhou Ming had thought of these things a long time ago, so he specifically focused on laser-guided bullets? However, no matter how advanced these bullets were, he was only a small bullet after all, and how could he defend against a multinational force with nine aircraft carrier battle groups, about 2,000 planes of various kinds, more than 9,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and as many as 600,000 troops?
Zhou Ming did not explain this to Edward, and there was no need to explain anything more about it, after all, the Gulf War was a decisive battle, and Zhou Ming, as the commander of this battle, sometimes needed to leave some suspense for his subordinates.
Then Zhou Ming and Edward left, but Tang Yu did not leave, but said to Douglas a few steps behind: "You can pretend that you didn't hear what you said just now." ”
To be the CEO of Skunk Works Kingston Labs, Douglas is certainly not an idiot who doesn't understand human feelings, so he also replied to Tang Yu: "Mr. Tang Yu, please rest assured, I just found a legitimate deal for the laboratory, as for the final flow of bullets, I don't think it is beyond my control, and you may just be protecting yourself, after all, it's just bullets, isn't it?"
Tang Yu then left the laboratory and told Zhou Ming about Dr. Douglas's attitude, Zhou Ming smiled at this, did not say anything, just patted Tang Yu's shoulder lightly to show encouragement.
Zhou Ming actually deliberately didn't mention this in front of Douglas, just to see Tang Yu's approach, and now it seems that the second heir of the Tang family did not disappoint him.
"I'm going to go back to China next. Zhou Ming turned his head and asked Edward, "Is the Congress ready?" I don't want the Gulf War to break out too soon. ”
Edward replied with confidence: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you can rest assured, even if the president has signed the war order, the Congress still has the right to hold this war." ”
......
When Zhou Ming and Tang Yu Edward left Kingston Laboratory, in the presidential residence in the east, it was a different scene.
At that time, US President Walsh, the secretary of state, the assistant for national security affairs, and other senior federal officials were all in the president's study to listen to the Gulf War battle plan, and they were explained by Normandy, a four-star general who had been authorized to be the commander-in-chief of the multinational force in the Gulf War.
"In front of us is a powerful military country with a total strength of 1.2 million troops, more than 7,000 tanks and armored vehicles of various colors, more than 700 aircraft of various colors and various tactical missiles, and they are now ready and perfectly deployed the defense line, and at the same time they are deeply influenced by Soviet-style tactics and have accumulated a lot of experience in the coordinated operation of mechanical armored units in a long war. ”
Speaking of this, Normandy changed his tone and continued: "But it is precisely because of this that we must completely change our operational thinking. ”
"First of all, we can see that in the comparison of air power, the enemy's main aircraft is the MiG, while we are F15 and F16, and equipped with the most advanced fire control radar, so it can be said that we have an overall advantage, so my plan is to fully seize air supremacy through air engagement, and then dispatch F117 stealth bombers and short- and medium-range tactical cruise missiles to avoid the enemy's radar detection, carry out precision strikes on its important military targets, paralyze the enemy's command system, and eliminate the enemy's resistance in the base. ”
As he spoke, Normandy opened the slide and projected a map of Iraq, pointing to the map and saying, "This is the first target we want to attack because ......"
When Normandy was about to continue speaking, Walsh's secretary suddenly came over and said something in his ear, so Walsh immediately interrupted Normandy and said: "There is no doubt that Normandy, your idea is very good, but I'm sorry that I have to deal with some more important things now, so your battle plan, will you talk about it next time?"
After leaving this sentence for Normandy, Walsh got up and left, leaving everyone in the study to look at each other.
Outside, Walsh frowned and walked briskly, and soon came to his office, he walked to his desk and picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm President Walsh, what the hell happened to the old man?"
Walsh could be called an old buddy by Aldrich, vice president and president of the Senate, who said on the phone: "I'm so sorry to interrupt your war meeting, but I think the business on the congressional side will be more important than your war meeting, because if you can't convince the angry lawmakers, then you can't really realize these war plans." ”
As the president of the United States, Walsh was very calm, he did not get angry, but asked in a deep voice: "I don't understand why this is happening? Obviously, in the congressional vote four days ago, the majority had already agreed to this war." ”
"But then many parliamentarians got other information that the war was all about defending the interests of other consortiums in the Middle East, which was not in the interests of other consortiums, so the parliamentarians representing the interests of these consortiums quit. Aldrich said.
"And that includes old man, are you right?" asked Walsh.
Faced with this question, Aldrich replied with a smile: "I think you must have misunderstood me, as your vice president, I am very willing to stand on the same side as you." ”
"But this disgusting thing still happens, doesn't it?" said Walsh.
Aldridge smiled and continued: "Mr. President, I don't think this is the time to dwell on this issue, and how to solve the current matter is more important than holding you accountable, or suspecting that people all over the world are trying to murder you, isn't it?"
"That's true. "So, Mr. Aldrich, I would like to know what the senators who are objecting to have come to mind." ”
"The question goes like this. Aldrich said, "At the beginning, it was agreed that the major consortia should share a portion of the military expenses proportionally, but when these consortia knew that the war was to ensure the Rockefeller family's interests in oil, they were not willing to pay any more military expenses, and the Rockefeller and Adams families had to live in charge of the expenses." ”
"Not only that, but they also demand that the military must buy more weapons and ammunition from other arms dealers, otherwise they don't mind giving it to the Iraqi army, which needs it more." Aldrich said.
Walsh slapped the table angrily, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "What a group of insatiable devils who don't have any bottom line!"
However, after scolding, we still have to face reality, and Walsh, as an old politician, understands this very clearly, and after calming down his mood, he said: "I understand, I will immediately negotiate with the Rockefeller family and the Adams family about the way to apportionment military expenses." ”
"Congress and I are waiting for your good news, Mr. President, and I hope this time will not be too long, after all, there are nearly 700,000 troops in the Middle East waiting for the order to attack. Aldrich said.
This made President Walsh feel very painful and burst into a foul language again.
