For China, which had just experienced the First Eat-Vietnam War for a few years, the focus of national strategic defense was not on the southeastern coastline and southern Xinjiang, but on the 7,600-kilometer-long border with the Soviet Union in the north and west, and the 4,709-kilometer border with Mongolia. ．

Although the Soviet Union had withdrawn its troops from Afghanistan, the Soviet Union's large-scale exercise against the United States and NATO in September 1981 had a strong impact on the world, and the remnants are still alive today.

The Soviet military exercise, codenamed "West-81", can be called the largest military exercise in human history, and the Soviet military dispatched 500,000 officers and soldiers!

In this live military exercise, the Soviet Union dispatched almost all branches of its armed forces, including the latest tank units, armored vehicle units, rocket artillery units, missile units, logistics units, and fox units.

According to an open report by the Soviet Union, the Soviet army dispatched more than 10 combined group armies and guards tank corps of various arms in this live exercise, and carried out a large-depth armored combined assault tactics exercise, accompanied by front-line aviation, long-range aviation, and the territorial air defense force. For the first time, the Soviets dispatched a tank group consisting of new T80 and T72 tanks to carry out an armored assault on the imaginary enemy, supplemented by precision tactical strikes by the rocket artillery battalions of the army group's territories, covering the subsequent motorized infantry to advance into the enemy's depth.

During the exercise, a large number of airborne assault brigades, OMG clusters, and other new-style Soviet combat units appeared, and a large-scale integrated land-air operation and a large-scale rapid advance operation of various arms under a large number of complex conditions were staged. At the same time, the Soviet Union's Baltic Fleet also dispatched the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Kiev to cover and cooperate with the Fox Marine Corps to enter the satellite and land operations, achieving the effect of integrated multi-arms coordinated operations of the sea, land and air, and the deterrent effect was extremely amazing.

It can be said that the Western camp at that time was really frightened by the torrent of steel displayed by the Soviet Union's "West-81" military exercise. This also includes China, which has not yet fully restored normal diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

In the eyes of the Chinese leaders, this large-scale exercise by the Soviet Union is a little bit of a demonstration against China, which won the 79-year war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam.

During Yang Weiping's presiding over the work of the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, armed helicopters have always been a major national defense project that he has focused on. After the Zhijiu and Wuzhi 10 were developed and put into mass production, Huaxia had a truly formed army aviation unit.

Strengthening the work of building the army aviation unit is one of the few projects that Yang Weiping has not left behind since he left Huaxia. The top brass in Huaxia even transferred a large part of the military budget originally planned to be allocated to the fox to the army aviation.

originally thought that the Zhijiu and Wuzhen 10 were already world-class helicopters, but who would have thought that Yang Weiping quietly developed a more advanced Super Hind and V22 Osprey tiltrotor in the Eastern Union.

It has long been no secret that the Eastern Union Army has created an experimental digital air assault brigade in countries around the world.

This air assault brigade is, to put it bluntly, an air cavalry G and an armored cavalry brigade with wings!

It is still not clear what the combat effectiveness of the air assault brigade of the Eastern Union Army, which is composed entirely of armed helicopters and general-purpose transport helicopters, is. But one thing is certain, under the premise that the Eastern Union Air Force has absolute air supremacy, there is no heavy regiment on the ground that can stop this air assault brigade from the air to the depth of the assault!

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. To form such a brand-new concept of air armored cavalry troops, the military expenditure required is absolutely astronomical. And that's not even counting the huge annual maintenance costs. Only the wealthy Oriental Union Union has the financial resources to create such an experimental army. Because even the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union, which claim to be the strongest military in the world, have openly declared that the formed forces of the air armored cavalry are "black holes swallowing gold"!

The more information about the "Super Hind" is gathered, the more the Chinese military salivates over the world's most advanced gunship.

With the cooperation of the MSS Oriental Union Intelligence Station, getting the procurement contract for Super Hind at all costs has become one of He Guodong's most important tasks this year.

After He Guodong's many efforts to mediate, Yang Weiping, a slippery guy, finally withstood Guodong's soft grinding and hard foaming, and the condition was that Huaxia would purchase 300 super hinds at one time, and the unit price of each was 120 million Asian yuan.

In addition, Yang Weiping also made it clear that with the current level of industrial technology in Huaxia, it is not yet possible to produce the military turboshaft engine with a maximum output of 8,200 horsepower for the Super Hind. Therefore, Huaxia needs to purchase 300 units of this high-power military turboshaft engine with the international label Z-TG-500A from OUCC every year, with a price of 45 million Asian dollars each.

The reason why Yang Weiping put forward such harsh conditions, He Guodong actually understands it very well. Because, this epoch-making scientific research achievement Z-TG-500A turboshaft engine launched by Tiangong Laboratory completely represents the most cutting-edge engine technology in the world today, the T-700 turboshaft engine with a maximum output of less than 2000 horsepower provided by General Dynamics for AH-64A is not even worthy of shoes in front of a single Z-TG-500A with a maximum output of 8200 horsepower!

It can be said that the Z-TG-500 series engine, which represents the top black technology of Tiangong Laboratory, is no worse than the Sea Star Radar for OUCC.

In Yang Weiping's original words, if it weren't for the fact that Donghua and China have the same root and origin, OUCC would never have transferred the relevant technology and production line of Super Hind to Huaxia.

Although the two sides have reached an agreement of intent, He Guodong knows that Huaxia will have to wait at least about three years for the super queen to get it.

This is because the economies of the countries of the Eastern Union have now fully entered the quasi-wartime mechanism. All of its production capacity is preparing for the upcoming battle against Chant.

Based on He Guodong's understanding of Yang Weiping, he can be sure that even if You did not take the initiative to provoke the Eastern Union, the Eastern Union would sooner or later create an excuse to annex the Assam region, and even Bangladesh would be included.

As early as when Yang Weiping was presiding over the overall work of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense in Huaxia, He Guodong heard Yang Weiping mention to him more than once that "China should expand to the outside world, occupy the whole of Southeast Asia, and establish a Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere." Moreover, this guy fully advocated the vigorous development of military heavy industry in China at that time, which made He Guodong realize that he was not talking in vain.

Sometimes, He Guodong even suspects that Yang Weiping's "politically retarded" approach in Huaxia is likely to be deliberate by this guy. The purpose is to give him a righteous and bright reason to get out of China, and then go overseas alone to realize his grand blueprint according to his personal will.

In fact, after Yang Weiping became the head of the Oriental Union, the practice of "reckless military force" of the Eastern Union also infantiled He Guodong's conjecture.
