Chapter 781: Fall lightly
"This Song Jihong, his courage is not small," General Yang said to Vice Chairman Liu, "and he went to war with the US army without asking for instructions." ”
"Hehe, we just fought with the U.S. military with real knives and guns before, but it made these boys below feel high, and when they met the U.S. military, they also said that they were big, and they didn't think about what to do if they couldn't win?" Vice Chairman Liu shook his head, once upon a time, when he was still a brigade commander, he was helpless to see the US troops running to our territory and knocking down the PLA fighters. Now Song Jihong and the US military meet on a narrow road, but they say that they will fight if they are big.
"Speaking of which, we all have to thank one person, if it weren't for him, we would probably have to pretend to be a grandson for twenty years." Of course, President Yang knows Vice Chairman Liu's feelings, they are all people who came from that aggrieved era, and to put it well, they are Taoguang Yanghu, but in fact, they are pretending to be grandsons, and if they are hit or blown up, they are verbally protesting, and being occupied by others is also verbal protests, so that they were later made up into jokes and widely circulated on the Internet.
At that time, being a soldier was really aggrieved, but fortunately, a Duke was born, and now he has the ability to no longer just talk with his mouth, but also be able to reason with his fists.
Xiao Dai's mind was not slow to turn in this matter, and he actually came up with such an idea for him, no matter what, with this remedy, at least on the surface, we can also explain the past internally and externally. The situation in Africa really can't be taken lightly, the F-35 is over, and it seems that the Yankees are not idle." Vice Chairman Liu did not follow President Yang's words and reminisced about the bittersweet ones, but talked about the current incident.
"The forces we put in are still too weak, when will the other flying group be in place?" Vice Chairman Liu asked, "Dushi Heavy Industry has reported that our reserves of many raw materials cannot be supported for a few months, and once they stop work and wait for materials, a large number of fighters and warships that we plan to build will also be stopped, and this matter really can't afford to wait." ”
"We are now looking for a second air regiment, but I still have some uncertainties about what kind of fighters to send," Chief Yang said, "After Song Jihong and their war, the US military will definitely send air forces mainly fourth-generation fighters supplemented by third-generation fighters to join the African battlefield, and if our side still sends a J-11C flight regiment according to the original plan, we will be somewhat passive in air operations in the African theater." ”
Vice Chairman Liu silently said that the J-11C is a twin-engine heavy fighter-bomber, and when we first considered a J-10C flight regiment and a J-11C flight regiment, we were considering using the J-10C to strive for air superiority, and the J-11C took into account the ground and provided strong air support for our ground forces. At least tens of thousands of tons of materials are consumed in a battle, and now it is not our turn to speak in the Indian Ocean, once the supply at sea cannot keep up, the PLA will really be a lone army in Africa with a shortage of food and ammunition.
However, if the U.S. military sends an air force dominated by fourth-generation stealth fighters, the J-11C, which is worse than the J-10C in air combat, is obviously very unsuitable.
"Let's send fourth-generation fighters, Song Jihong's situation in Africa is very difficult, I think that after this war, the main force of the US Army's Third Infantry Division may be transferred to Central and West Africa, and an 86 Aircraft Infantry Brigade will carry the US Army's Third Infantry Division, even if there are two fully equipped infantry brigades in Tanzania to assist, they are already at a disadvantage, and the air supremacy can never be lost again." Vice Chairman Liu said.
"As for the ground attack support in the air, I think it is still the destroyer drone as the main force, although our African garrison does not have as many tanks and helicopter gunships as the third mechanized infantry division of the US army, but there are 2 battalions of destroyer drones, which are used well, and we will not be too bad in heavy attack firepower, after all, in Africa, we mainly take gestures, and we are optimistic about the resource producing areas of Tanzania, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo." Vice Chairman Liu continued.
"However, we don't have many fourth-generation fighters, and the transfer of a J-21 flight regiment is a bit of a great pressure on the local defense," Chief Yang hesitated and said, during the Diaoyutai air battle, the People's Liberation Army smashed the pot and sold iron to make up more than 50 fourth-generation fighters, that is to say, J-20 and J-21 had less than 2 flight regiments at that time, and more than 20 were lost after the war, just a little more than one flight regiment left, although the production has been overtime in the past two years, and there are only more than 100 4 flight regiments now.
And now the domestic defense is facing almost 70% of the air force invested by the US military in the western Pacific region, and the pressure can be imagined.
"This piece of the homeland, I think the US military may not dare to attack on a large scale for a while and a half, we are not ready, how can the US military be ready again, if the US military is not coming with all its strength, with our perfect air-ground integrated air defense system, one more regiment and one less regiment is not a big problem, not to mention that J-10D and J-11D are not put into production, this year there are 2 regiments to join the active service, these two fighters under the guidance of land-based radar systems and airborne early warning aircraft, not to lose much to the fourth-generation fighters, for our native defense just complement each other." Vice Chairman Liu said. "On the African side, we can't afford to lose either."
President Yang's heart moved, although he also attached great importance to Africa, but he did not compare that side with the mainland, and he did not expect that in Vice Chairman Liu's heart, Africa would have such an important position. "Alright, let's send a J-21 flying regiment. What is the Military Commission going to do about Song Jihong? Chief Yang said.
"Song Jihong went to war without asking for instructions, although he won a big victory, I propose that this battle merit is not counted, and at the same time, Dai Qiliang and Zheng Quanji failed to stop Song Jihong from fighting without authorization, and I warned once, all these bold rabbit cubs have been in Africa for two or three years. As for the Air Force Flying Regiment, it is recommended to record a collective first-class meritorious service. Vice Chairman Liu closed his eyes and thought for a while and said, this treatment plan seems a little unfair to the front-line command, but Chief Yang was greatly relieved when he heard it, Vice Chairman Liu's punishment was much lower than he expected.
Dai Qiliang is pleading with him, and Chief Yang only promised to help Song Jihong retire as much as possible, and not go to the military court, although Dai Qiliang is the son of his wife and brother, and Chief Yang also values the most promising future star among his nephews and nephews, but Song Jihong's matter is too big, fortunately, Dai Qiliang also came up with a remedy, although this method is only to hide people's eyes and ears, but it can take the initiative in politics and diplomacy, and objectively greatly reduces the external pressure brought by Song Jihong's unauthorized war to the military. It seems that Vice Chairman Liu is also insightful, and Song Jihong's doing this can be regarded as making up for Vice Chairman Liu's grievances back then, so he suggested such a very light punishment.
