Chapter 309: A 52-fold caliber revolution has been set off
Listening to Dr. Kelvin's words, Miller, as the deputy director of the CIA, couldn't help but nodded: "Indeed, as you said, this is an extremely mysterious new artillery, but the caliber of this gun is also 155mm, which is the same as the caliber of our mainstream Western main battle artillery.
And in terms of range and ammunition shape, it is also close to NATO standards, so in addition to the performance evaluation of the army's artillery explained by the National Security Council, I also want to confirm with Dr. Kelvin whether this new Chinese artillery will be the latest research result of the artillery madman Dr. Bull."
"Absolutely not!" Dr. Kelvin replied without hesitation before Miller could finish speaking, and then a flash of regret flashed across his face:
"From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely hope that this excellent cannon is Dr. Bull's masterpiece, but it is impossible to do so!"
"Oh?" Hearing Dr. Kelvin's words, Miller couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Why is this so?"
"As you said just now, China has mastered the technology of 45 times the caliber 155mm artillery, and successfully exported the technology to South Africa, and gradually spread from South Africa to the world, while Dr. Boole's 45 times caliber 155mm artillery is still in the stage of performance perfection.
And the world's 45 caliber artillery technology has spread, so Dr. Bull's years of hard work will be wasted in an instant, which will lead to the International Space Corporation he founded is in debt, and now Dr. Bull is too late to hide from debts everywhere, how can he still have the heart to put his mind into research!"
As he spoke, Dr. Kelvin glanced meaningfully at Miller on the other side, and his tone became intriguing: "I think Mr. Miller should know the specific details better than me!"
Hearing Dr. Kelvin's words, the smile on Miller's face seemed a little unnatural, he planned the tracking and surveillance of Dr. Bull, and he naturally knew the inside story, and now Dr. Bull is about to become a beggar. With the artillery development results in hand, they are sold everywhere, but no one cares about them.
Even Iraq, which is struggling with Iran, looks down on these immature products that still exist on the drawings, and instead contacts South Africa to purchase a batch of 45 times caliber 155mm howitzers with mature and stable performance. In this way, the artillery technology that Dr. Boole painstakingly researched was even more ignored, and he was poor, so he could only solve the problem of livelihood first, and how could he still have the heart to study those artillery technologies that were not suitable for food!
It's just Dr. Bull's situation. In the eyes of some people who think they know the inside story, it is definitely not a coincidence, there must be a pair of black hands behind the scenes who are secretly manipulating all this, and in the eyes of the world's major intelligence agencies, this black hand is none other than the CIA of the United States.
For a time, Miller's words of beauty were like a surging river. However, there is always a stone hanging in his heart that cannot fall for a long time, that is, in fact, Miller has not done anything at all, as for how China got the 45 times caliber technology, even he does not know, Miller originally wanted to tell the truth about this matter to his superiors, but in the face of huge honor and the huge benefits that followed, Miller finally gave up the original idea, but hid the truth, and laughed at all the honors!
I thought that this matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect that the Sino-Vietnamese artillery battle would not only become a hot spot in the world recently. For this reason, the Military Committee and the Intelligence Committee of the National Assembly specially organized hearings to learn more about the situation of China's new artillery and made detailed inquiries about the source of China's artillery technology.
Although at the hearing, Miller was clever and eloquent. The matter was vaguely prevaricated, but the inexplicable worry in his heart was growing day by day, because of this, and then the National Power Council authorized him to participate in the U.S. Army artillery performance evaluation of the convenience of the position, he wanted to solve the mystery that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, so when Dr. Kelvin finished speaking. Miller continued to ask, not without confusion:
"So that means someone else developed this mysterious artillery?"
"You're right, Mr. Miller!" As soon as Miller's voice fell, Dr. Kelvin nodded without hesitation: "And it can be concluded that all the people who presided over the development of this cannon have much more talent than that artillery genius Dr. Bull, not to mention anything else, take the 45 times caliber 155mm gun that Bull highly admires."
Its defects are very obvious, and the actual combat ability is also very poor, but China's new artillery is not only very high in actual combat ability, but also extremely outstanding in combat effectiveness, so it can be said that it is a perfect field artillery, so it is not an exaggeration to describe the person who presided over the development of this artillery as a super artillery genius!"
Listening to Dr. Kelvin's words, Miller muttered thoughtfully: "Look at the person who is in charge of the development and the key to the matter!"
It's just that when I heard these words, Dr. Kelvin's ears couldn't help but be a little off-topic, so my already rigorous face couldn't help but sink down, and then I reminded with some displeasure:
"Mr. Miller, I don't think I'm here today to discuss that person's problem, but to study how the army artillery is leveled, right?"
"That's right! That's right!" was Dr. Kelvin's words, and Miller instantly came back to his senses, and quickly smiled all over his face, and then put on a serious face and continued:
"What do you have to do, Dr. Kelvin?"
"No matter what good way there is, we must also have the specific parameters of China's new artillery, otherwise we will not be able to do data comparison at all, let alone performance evaluation!"
"Understood, I'll go back to the CIA headquarters to make arrangements and get relevant information about China's new artillery as soon as possible!" As soon as Kelvin's words fell, Miller took the matter over categorically, and then the two exchanged views on the evaluation of artillery performance, and Miller left the Army Artillery and Ballistics Research Office and drove to the CIA headquarters
Miller's instructions for collecting intelligence on China's new artillery are very fast, and the relevant action plan is also very thorough and meticulous, but it is not easy to obtain information on the latest weapons and equipment of new artillery in a short period of time in China, which has a strict secrecy system.
The CIA team was in the same situation as the Soviet MIA Special Task Force, and the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, were not alone in stealing intelligence from China's new artillery, because several secret teams in Britain, France, and Germany around them were doing the same thing as the two superpowers.
Although at this moment, the eyes of the world media and the public are focused on the Iran-Iraq war that is in full swing, and the armed conflict between China and Vietnam, which has only two hours of belligerent time, cannot be published in the pages of major media at all, but as the saying goes, laymen look at the excitement, and insiders look at the doorway.
Although the Sino-Vietnamese artillery battle lasted only two hours, in the eyes of the intelligence agencies and military industrial departments of all countries in the world, the value of this battle far exceeded the boring and fierce war of World War II between the two countries, and the performance of Chinese artillery could not help but bring great shock to the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union, and also shocked other world military powers such as Britain, France and Germany.
Because of this, the intelligence teams of the world's major military powers can be said to have gathered in China, but in the face of the squadrons and military industrial systems that cannot be blown in and the water is impenetrable, these foreign intelligence teams can only look at the ocean and sigh, but at a time when they are at a loss and exhausted.
A newly launched journal of Chinese affairs has attracted the attention of intelligence groups around the world, because the illustration on the title page of this journal publishes a photograph of a standing image of an artillery soldier with a determined expression, and behind him is a new type of artillery that has never been seen before, although it has been blurred, but the long body tube, the unique structure is still clearly recognizable, especially the caption at the bottom of the title page is even more groundbreaking:
"A new generation of artillery!"
Seeing this picture, the intelligence agencies of various countries can be said to be ecstatic, this newly launched military magazine was sold out in an instant, the letters and telegrams urging the update and printing were like snowflakes that instantly submerged the editorial department, and the printing house worked overtime, but it was still in short supply!
The intelligence agencies of various countries were not idle, and soon sent this magazine to China as an important intelligence material, and for a time this picture of "a new generation of artillery!" was placed in the reading rooms and research institutes of the intelligence departments and military industrial departments of the major military powers, and after some research, these countries came to the same conclusion, but were extremely shocking.
Because the caliber multiple of China's new artillery reaches an astonishing 52 times the caliber, although it is not clear about the volume of the medicine room, but from the perspective of the picture ratio, China has optimized it, so that its performance not only surpasses all China's existing artillery, but also leaves the same type of artillery far behind all countries in the world, becoming one of the few weapons and equipment in China leading the world.
When countries around the world have a preliminary understanding of China's new artillery, a technological revolution about the new artillery is also about to emerge, and later generations have a very apt name for this 155mm artillery technology revolution that has lasted for more than ten years -- the 52 times caliber revolution! )
