For the general of this tall giant kingdom, Ding Zhennan is not interested at all.

Strictly speaking, Ding Zhennan didn't know much about Park Tae-hee in the first place, after all, he served in the Northwest Theater of Operations, and the Kingdom of Goju belonged to the Guia Theater.

On the day he came to King Khalid Military City and the establishment of the coalition headquarters, Ding Zhennan met the "old man" of King Gaoju.

In fact, it is this nepotism that makes Ding Jin-nam look down on Park Tae-hee.

Although in the imperial army, there are also many generals who have risen to prominence by virtue of their relationship with the imperial family, the most representative of which are the two gods of war of the imperial navy, namely Chen Bingxun, who personally created the imperial navy, and Bai Zhizhan, who led the imperial navy invincible in the last war, are all relatives of the imperial empire, but fundamentally speaking, Chen Bingxun and Bai Zhizhan These generals are all related to the royal family after becoming famous, not to say that they got ahead by climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and their own ability must be unquestionable.

It's just that this is not the case in the Kingdom of High Ju.

As far as Ding Zhennan knows, many generals of the Gaoju Kingdom cling to the royal family are completely for fame and fortune, and they have no ability of their own.

The key is that the Goju royal family is also maintaining its dominance through marriages and other means.

It is based on this understanding that Ding Jin-nam feels that Park Tae-hee is also a raccoon dog, no different from the high-giant soldiers he knew before.

However, after meeting Park Tae-hee, Ding Jin-nam changed his opinion.

Just looking at his appearance, Ding Jin-nam feels that Park Tae-hee is a powerful character, because the innate and naturally revealing domineering is by no means a deliberate imitation.

This proves a rumor: Park Tae-hee has long been disobedient!

The point is: Park Tae-hee was a subject of the Namgo Kingdom, who was exiled to the Bukgok Kingdom during the last Great War, and joined the army after the Great War.

There have long been rumors among the people: Park Tae-hee is the orphan of the Namgo royal family.

From a historical point of view, the Southern High Royal Family and the Northern High Royal Family, which is now the High Giant Royal Family, are in the same line, both originating from the Li family who founded the High Giant Kingdom.

The current Gaoju royal family is surnamed Li!

To put it simply, after the end of the First Global War, the Ice Storm Peninsula was split in two, and the Kingdom of Tall Giant founded by the Lee clan split into two kingdoms. In order to ensure legitimacy and legitimacy, he controlled the southern part of the peninsula and supported the Li branch in exile, and established the Nangao Kingdom. It's just that until the Nangao Kingdom was destroyed in the Second Global War, the Liangxia Empire did not recognize the Nangao royal family.

According to the rules, the legitimacy of the Goju royal family comes from the canonization of the imperial royal family.

After the establishment of the Liangxia Empire, successive kings of Gaoju had to go to the imperial capital to meet the emperor before ascending the throne, and obtained the official canonization of the emperor. Before the outbreak of the First Global War, the Gao Ju royal family also sent the heir, the crown prince, to the Liang Xia Empire for further study and study, to accompany the princes of the Liang Xia royal family to grow up, or to join the Imperial Janissaries and serve as the prince's subordinates to strengthen the relationship with the Liang Xia royal family.

With this precedent, dynastic states such as the Sayi Imperial State and the Shaudi followed suit and sent the heir to the throne to study in the Liangxia Empire.

To be realistic, it is actually sent as a hostage.

At that time, the Nangao royal family was only canonized by the narrow royal family, not the imperial royal family, so it was called the Nangao pseudo-dynasty in the history books.

It was also a very short-lived dynasty.

From its inception to its demise, it was only 21 years in total!

After the fall of the Southern High Kingdom, most of the royal family went into exile, some of them went to the Saoyi Imperial Kingdom and then to the Nuland Republic. One of them is still in Golden Bay in the Republic of Newland, and claims to be the legitimate bloodline of the High Giant royal family.

It's just that there are still many members of the royal family who have not escaped.

The royals who remained in the Kingdom of Goju changed their names and reverted to their civilian status before the end of the war, and were scattered throughout the major cities.

The point is that most of the incognito royal family members chose the surname of the Golwan Kingdom.

Here, there is a change in the royal family of Nangao, or the influence of the customs of the Sagi royal kingdom under the rule of the Sagi Imperial Kingdom.

The Nangao royal family imitated the narrow royal family and abolished the royal family name!

The narrow royal family lasted for more than 2,000 years and has never had a surname. Even after the Restoration, the Imperial Family did not establish a surname for itself.

Without a surname, it became a symbol of the royal family's identity.

The royal family and the royal family can be special, but after restoring the status of a commoner, there must be a surname.

Most of the members of the royal family who were exiled overseas reverted to the surname "Li", after all, the Li dynasty has existed for hundreds of years and has always been the orthodoxy of the Gaoju Kingdom.

It's just that most of the royal family members who stayed in the Kingdom of Gaoju chose other surnames.

The reason is simple: to avoid purge and persecution.

Similarly, most members of the royal family chose surnames such as "Kim", "Park", "Choi", "Zheng", and "Kang".

Of course, it is certainly impossible to conclude that Park Tae-hee is the orphan of the Namgo royal family from the surname.

100 years after the fall of the Namgo Kingdom, Park Tae-hee was not yet 10 years old. In the year 106 of the new calendar, that is, at the age of 16, he was admitted to the Gaoju Royal Military Academy with the third place in the country, and obtained the rank of second lieutenant three years later.

Obviously, if Park Tae-hee is just a commoner, how can he get an education that ordinary people would never dare to hope for?

Before the end of the last war, the illiteracy rate in the Kingdom of Goju was over 90%, and only a very small number of powerful people and children of the landlord class had access to schooling.

The 10-year compulsory education system was implemented in the Kingdom of Gaoju, and it was not until after the 115th year of the new calendar, and until the 130th year of the new calendar, that compulsory education was basically universalized.

If Park Tae-hee is really a civilian, then he must be illiterate, and it is impossible to be admitted to the Royal Military Academy.

If Park Tae-hee is an orphan of the Namgao royal family, then what happened after that makes sense.

Of course, Ding Jin-nam doesn't care if Park Tae-hee is an orphan of the Nam-Ko royal family, after all, the Goju Kingdom has long followed the example of the empire to complete the constitutional reform.

The key is that the Kingdom of Tall Ju is next to the empire, and both the economy and culture, as well as the military and politics, are all influenced and controlled by the empire. Even if Park Tae-hee succeeds in usurping the throne one day, he will show his loyalty to the imperial family before sitting on the throne in order to obtain the canonization of the emperor.

What Ding Jin-nam cares about is actually whether Park Tae-hee will agree to increase the troops, or how high the price will be.

For this reason, Ding Jin-nam went to visit Park Tae-hee.

Of course, unlike the last time they met, Ding Zhennan was already a brigadier general of the Imperial Army and chief of staff of the coalition forces, and he had also proved his ability through actual combat.

Even if Park Tae-hee has no one in his eyes, he doesn't dare to underestimate the generals of the Imperial Army.

Probably because the mirror of the heart has changed, and seeing Park Tae-hee again, Ding Jin-nam immediately thought that those rumors about Park Tae-hee were not false.

The main thing is that this guy is too calm.

This kind of calmness, as well as the indelible restraint of joy and anger, is by no means unique to adulthood, but comes from the experience of childhood, especially the influence of the growth environment!

Fortunately, there were no accidents about what Ding Zhennan cared about.

After Ding Jin-nam explained his intentions, that is, he hoped that the Kingdom of Goju could increase its troops and undertake more combat missions, including occupying and controlling southern Iraq, maintaining order in the occupied areas, resuming production of the undamaged oil fields as soon as possible, and resuming the handling operations of the port of Faw, Park Tae-hee agreed without thinking about it, and also said that he would personally take charge of the occupation in southern Iraq.

As for air power, Park Tae-hee did not refuse, but it took some time to adjust the deployment, and promised to send an additional 200 to 300 combat aircraft to make up for the lack of imperial naval aviation and ensure adequate support for ground forces during the attack on Bagh X.

In order to reassure Ding Jin-nam, Park Tae-hee also called Prime Minister Goju in front of him.

After that, he also personally sent Ding Zhennan back to the coalition headquarters.

At this time, Ding Zhennan's other arrangement also had results.

In accordance with his request, the Air Force Command promised to send three additional "Finger-10A" joint command planes to the Posha Bay area, increase the number of tanker planes and other support aircraft by 20 percent, and send an additional 150 bombers to the Diego base, but these bombers are not limited to the Posha Bay area.

However, the key is support aircraft represented by tankers.

Although after the start of the third round of military reform, the Imperial Air Force made a compromise and added a hose refueling system for naval combat aircraft such as the "Oil-29A", the Imperial Navy still went its own way and insisted on using its own hose refueling system.

The reason is also simple, the Navy does not have such large combat aircraft as bombers.

The Air Force's insistence on using the hard-tube refueling system is to take care of strategic bombers, that is, the hard-tube refueling system not only has higher transmission efficiency, but also has lower requirements for the pilots of the oil-receiving aircraft, has better stability during refueling, and is more suitable for serving large aircraft with huge fuel consumption and inflexible operation.

It's just that the shortcomings of the hard tube refueling system are also prominent.

For example, the structure is complex and requires a special operator to control the refueling equipment, which is difficult to use in the Navy's carrier-based aircraft.

It was for this reason that the Imperial Navy developed and equipped a hose refueling system.

Because of the lack of large platforms and the inability of aircraft carriers to carry large aircraft, the Imperial Navy has mainly used partner in-flight refueling for the past few decades.

To put it simply, it is to let heavy carrier-based aircraft such as the "Attack-5" be hung with a refueling pod and temporarily used as a refueling aircraft.

This is also the key to the popularity of the "Attack-5" in naval aviation, and after 30 years of service, it will be in service for another 15 years through life extension improvements.

Among the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, there is no more suitable as a tanker than the "Attack-5".

From another point of view, it is precisely because of the lack of large tanker aircraft such as the "Oil-29A" and "Oil-20D" that combat aircraft have to return home with bombs in many cases, so even after landing on the shore, the combat efficiency of the Imperial Naval Aviation is not comparable to that of the Air Force tactical aviation.

After entering the stage of ground warfare, this defect of naval aviation manifested itself even more prominently.

Of course, this is also related to the characteristics of the tasks of naval aviation.

In traditional naval and air operations, naval aviation often undertakes a "one-time" task, that is, attaches great importance to the effectiveness of the first round of assaults. In particular, in naval supremacy operations, whether or not carrier-based air units can defeat the opponent at the first time will determine the victory or defeat of the campaign.

Affected by this, the Navy's carrier-based aircraft have always paid little attention to the time spent in the air.

Take the "Zhan-9B" as an example, the maximum combat radius in the typical air control payload mode exceeds 1,500 kilometers, which is the best among the third-generation fighters, but in the case of the same load, the patrol time at a distance of 500 kilometers from the aircraft carrier is only a pitiful 60 minutes, which is less than half of the "Zhan-11A".

The reason is that the "Zhan-9" pays more attention to the lift-to-drag ratio when cruising at high subsonic speeds, so the fuel consumption of low-speed flight is much higher.

The same goes for attack aircraft.

With four heavy anti-ship missiles on board, the "Attack-5F" can launch an attack on enemy ships at a distance of 1,800 kilometers, carry eight 500-kilogram aerial bombs, reduce the ammunition load by 2,000 kilograms, and launch attacks on ground targets at a distance of 1,000 kilometers, with a battlefield patrol time of only 30 minutes.

With the same load, the Air Force's "Battle-16A" can hover over the battlefield at a distance of 1,000 kilometers for 90 minutes.

With tankers for the Air Force, it's completely different.

With the support of tankers, the "Attack-6F" is capable of carrying 16 500-kilogram aerial bombs and patrolling the battlefield over the battlefield at a distance of 1,000 kilometers for two hours. If you prepare well in advance and ensure that the pilots are energetic, you can also extend the battlefield patrol time to 4 hours.

The point is that the attack aircraft of the naval aviation often have the strongest payload capacity of the same type of contemporaneous aircraft.

This is not surprising, after all, the main mission of a heavy carrier-based attack aircraft like the "Attack-5" is to carry heavy anti-ship missiles to strike at the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group, and the typical mission configuration is 4 anti-ship missiles weighing 1500 kg each, and the external ammunition has reached 6 tons.

The typical mission payload weight of attack aircraft of the Air Force is often between 2 and 4 tons.

It was precisely for this reason that Ding Zhennan submitted a request to the Air Force to send additional support aircraft.

It's just not all good news.

In the early morning of October 4, after receiving a call back from the Air Force Command, Ding Zhennan had not had time to leave the headquarters before the latest battle report was delivered.

About four hours ago, at about 2 a.m. local time on the 4th, without declaring war in advance, Van Luo's army dispatched about 30 divisions of troops on the 2,000-kilometer-wide border to attack Pakistan at the same time, and the South Asian subcontinent war broke out.

The first to start was the battle in the air.

Just after the wee hours of the morning, the Van Rowe Air Force launched an attack, dispatching thousands of combat aircraft and launching surprise attacks on dozens of military bases across the border.

Far from "suddenly", of course.

Although there were actions of the coalition forces in the early days of the Posha Bay War to learn from, the performance of the Van Rowe Air Force in this raid was still unsatisfactory.

The point is that the Van Rowe Air Force's assault did not reach the suddenness of the campaign.

Soon after the Van Rowe Air Force fighters took off, the Pakistani Air Force entered the highest state of combat readiness, and all the more than 300 combat planes deployed in front of it took off urgently.

In addition, the air defense forces deployed along the border line were also ready for combat in a timely manner.

As a result, the first round of assault by the Van Rowe Air Force was not only unable to achieve the suddenness of the battle, but was also attacked head-on by the Pakistani Air Force.

By the time the Van Luo Army launched an offensive, the air battle had not yet been distinguished, and the Van Luo Air Force, which had the advantage of troops, did not have air supremacy on the battlefield.

It must be admitted that the Pakistani Air Force is indeed a strong force in the South Asian subcontinent, a force that cannot be underestimated!
