Chapter 460 460 Fire Deployment
Qi Yiming also agrees with the words of his aide Mo Xiantong, even if he can control Russia, he doesn't want to see a Russia that is too large, and there will always be danger in the neighborhood. And in that case, it will be very difficult for China to control the Far East and Siberia through immigration and other means.
Dividing Russia into three and controlling the two countries in the east by itself, while Western Russia, which has the largest Russian population, is carrying out some infiltration and allowing them to carry out their own activities is indeed the model that is most in line with China's interests at present.
The Russian civil war is an opportunity for China, but it is also a potential crisis and challenge. After all, Qi Yiming couldn't be sure whether there would be any more moths in the back of this war, which would bring disaster to the Celestial Empire. Therefore, Qi Yiming had to cheer up his spirit and carefully deploy his forces to deal with possible crises, and he could also go down the mountain to pick peaches at any time.
The 500,000 Red Guard Corps has begun to be secretly deployed in various key places in Siberia, and a large number of military supplies have also been set up in advance to supply points and logistics bases. The saying that modern warfare is to fight logistics is not in vain, and the ancients also said that soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved. In particular, Qi Yiming's Red Police Corps is also very alarming in terms of the consumption and dependence on logistics, and in order to fight a large-scale war, Qi Yiming has to carry out a lot of preparations.
However, there was also something that relieved him a little, that is, the Soviet Union had been operating this area for decades and had built a lot of similar military facilities, Qi Yiming could directly use these facilities, and if he was insufficient, he could transfer engineering troops to rebuild, and Yankov's Siberian Army could also help.
In order to ensure that his firepower on the battlefield far exceeded that of his opponents, Qi Yiming provided a large number of suppressive firepower weapons for the deployed Red Guard Corps. The first is artillery, and almost every division is armed with a certain number of Dragon's Tooth rocket artillery and Guardian-3 rocket artillery. Dragon's Tooth is primarily responsible for launching dense covering attacks at close range, while the Defender-3 can provide accurate coverage strikes at a range of up to 300 kilometers, which is quite powerful.
At this time, the Guardian rocket launchers equipped by the domestic PLA were basically based on the Guardian-2, and there was also a certain amount of the Defender-3 type. The rocket artillery is very cool to fight, but the cost is also very large, Qi Yiming has no such concerns, he can do this if he wants to launch a meteor fire shower-style strike.
The Defender-3's precision guidance also makes it a very effective precision strike weapon, Qi Yiming can launch a wave of large-scale firepower coverage offensive at a great distance from the enemy, and a sudden rocket attack may cause the enemy to directly disintegrate the combat power.
Since World War II was used on a large scale, rocket artillery can be called a machine gun in artillery, is the first good weapon for artillery suppression, Qi Yiming assisted in the establishment of the PLA rocket artillery unit, can be regarded as a very distinctive branch of the Chinese Army, which also makes the rocket artillery unit play a very important role in the tactics of the Chinese Army.
Another Qi Yiming deployed in large numbers was the V4 rocket launcher from the Red Alert base. Although this thing is called a rocket, the real body is actually a short-range surface-to-surface missile. Since the upgrade of the Red Alert base, Qi Yiming has been hoarding a large number of such weapons. The V4 missile has a range of 200-500 km and belongs to the standard short-range ballistic missiles.
The missile cart's hull is designed to be compact and almost identical to the one in the game. It has a pair of tracks, which allows the missile to maneuver more widely and flexibly, with the cockpit set on one side and the missile lying flat in the middle. The V4 missile vehicle can maneuver and conceal better than ordinary road-mobile missiles, and there is no need to preset any launch position, because the launch of missiles has a relatively high level of intelligence and automation. In addition, the missile can use dual warheads and be equipped with different warheads, making its strike methods more diverse.
The accuracy of the V4 missile in the game is a big problem, but in reality it is not a big deal, Qi Yiming added a Beidou navigation system to the V4 missile, making it a composite guided weapon, and the accuracy can reach 10 meters. What makes Qi Yiming even more satisfied is that the V4 missile vehicle is a weapon and equipment that forms a preliminary cloud system, although this technology has not yet been unlocked in the combat laboratory, but the V4 has already touched its threshold.
Several V4s can be connected, and the base control computer can automatically allocate the best attack target and attack time, and at the same time, after launching, it can also be unified to carry out maneuver concealment and withdrawal in different directions. The networked V4 gives the Red Guard better attack effect when attacking.
With about 700 of such powerful weapons deployed in Siberia and even Kazakhstan in one breath, there are not so many natural launch vehicles, and their main goal is to attack the enemy's high-value hard-point targets, such as radar stations, airfields, command facilities, etc.
In fact, Qi Yiming is not only deploying the V4 short-range missile, the domestic Second Artillery Corps is also refitting this weapon on a large scale, obviously the V4 is more advanced than any kind of short-range missile in service at this time, and the domestic enterprises have also mastered its production technology, so they will continue to provide this tactical weapon for the Second Artillery Corps in the future. And the old Dongfeng missiles in the inventory of the Second Artillery, which are basically impossible to use during normal times, unless they fight a super war, are also open to Qi Yiming, anyway, if they don't knock them out and throw them there, it will be in vain, it is better to use them, and let Qi Yiming replace them with new ones.
Missiles like Dongfeng-2 and Dongfeng-5, which are not mobile on the road and use silos or launchers, Qi Yiming can't get rid of them, and these missiles are now slowly being disassembled. The Dongfeng-3 and Dongfeng-4 medium- and long-range ballistic missiles themselves have not been built much before, and some of them have been dismantled with fuel and warheads for display, and the rest has been handed over to Qi Yiming to play.
It's just that missiles such as the DF-4 and DF-5, once launched, may even cause shocks in the countries of the world, because with a range of 7,000-10,000 kilometers, it is easy for foreigners to mistake this for a nuclear missile, thus causing panic or even launching a nuclear counterattack, and then it will be troublesome.
In order to avoid this big trouble, Qi Yiming had to remove some fuel from the old Dongfeng-3 and Dongfeng-4 missiles in his hands to reduce the range of the missiles.
The Russians didn't know that when they were about to fight each other's brains, Qi Yiming had already engaged in hundreds of ballistic missiles, large and small, and a large number of long-range rocket artillery units were aimed at them.
――――
The full-scale outbreak of the Russian civil war has touched the hearts of all countries in the world, not because governments are so well-intentioned about the humanitarian crisis it will cause, but because both warring sides have a certain amount of nuclear weapons, and if they start dropping nuclear bombs on each other, the risk will be too great.
The United States has made great contributions to the cross-Taiwan movement of the Soviet Union and the establishment of Russia, but even the Americans themselves did not expect that the results would be too good. While the United States wanted to weaken the Soviet Union/Russia to a great extent, a volatile Russia that could cause a serious security crisis at any time was not what they wanted.
Under Yeltsin's rule, Russia was already incredibly weak, with two Chechen wars failing to capture even the iconic city of Grozny. The domestic economic situation is even more chaotic, shock therapy has hit Russia's economy hard, the people's lives are difficult, and the deviation in the process of economic liberalization is too great, creating a large number of economic oligarchs born in bureaucracy. The political turmoil is also very serious, and there is clearly a force in the Russian State Duma that opposes Yeltsin, which makes Yeltsin's various decrees quite constrained.
After hearing about how this civil war was triggered, US Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney couldn't help but say angrily to people in private: "Yeltsin is really a complete idiot, he can't do his part of things well, and he still wants to provoke Makhashev, because he thinks that he died fast enough, and Russia is not chaotic enough?" ”
But even so, Americans can't do things like a Western pug Yeltsin fell like this, what kind of person Makashev is many people know, a stubborn Soviet Communist Party element, what he pursues is probably not a real redism, but centralization and control, he has always been wary and disgusted with the West, if Makashev really pulls Yeltsin off the horse, although the United States has completed the goal of weakening Russia, but a hostile European power with a lot of family background, still makes the United States quite uneasy.
As a result, the United States began to actively mediate the Russian civil war, and US President George H.W. Bush also made a public speech, calling on both sides of the Russian civil war to have something to say, maintain the peace and reunification of their own countries, and refrain from using the means of war to solve problems.
Although the United States has now become the sole superpower, the failure of the Gulf War has made the United States still very afraid of sending a large number of troops into the battlefield, making it difficult for the United States to implement its national strategy. Moreover, no one knows how many terrorist weapons the Soviet Union left behind, in addition to a large number of nuclear bombs that threaten security, it has been found that the madman virus that broke out in Iraq also flowed out of the Soviet Union, and what if the US military intervenes again and releases something even more terrible.
By the way, Kirk, who is already working in Alaska, has not explained that he is the culprit of creating the madman virus, and Qi Yiming will not be kind enough to say this, and in fact, Qi Yiming does not know where Kirk is hiding now.
The United States also wants to pull China out to express some favorable views on the situation in Russia, but in fact, China has always been more cautious about how to make trouble in the north, but economic and trade exchanges with Siberia and the Far East have become close, and it seems that the Chinese are not interested in anything other than doing business.
