A day earlier, Wang Jianguo, who was in Saudi Arabia, had been given the advice of Feng Xiaotian, who asked him to persuade the relevant leaders to immediately test-fire an upgraded Dongfeng-3 missile, and let the Saudi government see the performance of the modified missile before asking them to come forward and talk to the Americans.

This method is still very operational, the most important thing is that no matter what the result is, Huaguo will not suffer, and the relevant leaders finally agreed to this plan after thinking and discussing.

That night, the relevant personnel of the Chinese State called Prince Abdullah, who was in charge of the matter in Saudi Arabia, and Prince Abdullah did not want to come over, he was not a fool, and he did not want to communicate too much with the Chinese people during this sensitive period.

The missiles shipped from China have already been seized by the Americans, and although the Saudi government wants these missiles very much, they must weigh the stakes when they think that the United States has intervened.

The relationship between the Saudi Government and the United States has always been very close, and if it offends the United States because of this, the Saudi Government feels that it is very unworthy, and if China wants to discuss the purchase of missiles, it is better to discuss it after the matter is resolved, so that it is in the interests of Saudi Arabia.

The Chinese personnel seemed to anticipate Prince Abdullah's mentality, and they did not mention the seizure of the missile, but said something like this: "Dear Prince Abdullah, after the transformation of our personnel, the upgraded version of the Dongfeng-3 missile has made a major breakthrough, and we would like to ask your government to conduct a missile test launch, and then talk about other missile upgrades. ”

The Saudi government currently has a total of 30 DF-3 missiles. For Saudi Arabia, the practical significance of these missiles is not how high-end they are, but their sense of existence.

In the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait last year, Saddam Hussein's madman originally wanted to stir up trouble and aimed the spearhead at Saudi Arabia, which has close ties with the United States, but as a result, the Saudi Government sent a message about these missiles through certain channels, and Saddam Hussein dispelled the idea of using force against Saudi Arabia. Prince Abdullah is the Minister of National Defense. Naturally, he attached great importance to these missiles, and when he heard the application issued by the Chinese people, he thought for a moment and agreed to the Chinese people's construction.

When he arrived at the secret military base at about 12 o'clock in the evening, the Chinese were doing the final inspection of the upgraded missiles, and when they saw Prince Abdullah arrive, several of the main responsible persons of the Chinese country immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

Prince Abdullah still has a good impression of the Chinese people, who have been asking for such missiles everywhere, but only the Chinese government is willing to sell them to them, although the price is a bit expensive. But this is also extremely rare in the eyes of the Saudi government. Prince Abdullah was solely responsible for this matter, and he was recognized in the royal family and had a high prestige.

At this moment, seeing the person in charge of Huaguo greeting him, Prince Abdullah immediately greeted him with a smile: "Distinguished guests from afar." Thank you so much for being so late and still busy with missiles. ”

Both sides were people who understood, and did not mention the fact that the missiles were seized by the Americans, and after a few polite words, Prince Abdullah followed the Chinese personnel into the missile launch center.

The reason why the Chinese people can be valued by Prince Abdullah. It is because they are very considerate of their customers, they never perfunctory the Saudi government's requests, and most of the time they think ahead of the Saudi government. And a rational solution is given.

For example, this missile base was selected and built by the Chinese, who unreservedly taught the operation of the Dongfeng-3 missile and trained the Saudi personnel quite skillfully.

Prince Abdullah looked at the environment of the launch center, although it was not the first time he had come here, he still felt very happy in his heart, and after the group sat down, Prince Abdullah smiled and said: "Chen, can your upgraded missile achieve the kind of performance you promised?" ”

Before the Chinese came here, they said that they could increase the strike accuracy of the Dongfeng-3 missile by more than thirty times! This makes the Saudi government look forward to it, the range of the Dongfeng-3 missile is completely enough for them, the only regret is that the strike accuracy is too poor, too, this missile was originally used to carry nuclear warheads, 1500 meters to 3000 meters of strike accuracy is completely sufficient, for nuclear bombs, a deviation of three kilometers is not called a deviation at all.

However, when this missile was sold to the Saudi government, it was equipped with a conventional warhead, so that the strike accuracy of 1,500 meters to 3,000 meters was very unsatisfactory, even if the Dongfeng 3 missile could carry 1.5 tons of high explosives, but more than a ton of explosives was obviously limited, and a slight deviation from the target was basically equivalent to setting off fireworks in vain.

The Chinese people said before they came that they can raise the strike accuracy of this missile to within a maximum of 50 meters, so that the 1.5-ton high-explosive warhead will be very lethal, and the range of 50 meters is enough to effectively kill the target! That's what the Saudis care about most.

Captain Chen, who was in charge of leading the team in Huaguo, smiled slightly when he heard this: "Old friend, we have known each other for so many years, have you ever seen me say a big thing?" We have already modified two Dongfeng-3 missiles, and we will soon prove whether what we say is reliable or not, so wait and see! ”

Captain Chen looked very confident when he spoke, and Prince Abdullah's heart immediately boiled, if this is the case, then the Saudi government is equivalent to having a real talisman! Whoever dares to hit me, I will be able to fight back effectively and accurately! In this part of the Middle East, only Saudi Arabia has this ability, and it's exciting to think about it!

Although Captain Chen is very confident, to be honest, he is actually very apprehensive in his heart, but now he can only believe in Wang Jianguo, whether he can succeed in this move.

Captain Chen said hello to Prince Abdullah, then walked up to Wang Jianguo, who was busy with his work, and whispered, "Lao Wang, is it really okay?" ”

Wang Jianguo was sweating profusely at the moment, and he was in the process of making a final procedural check. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Lao Chen, you can rest assured, I promise it's okay!" ”

Captain Chen said in a deep voice: "Okay, say hello when you're ready, and we'll launch it immediately!" ”

Wang Jianguo closed the missile bay, jumped down from the ladder, and then patted the dust on his hands and said, "It's ready, it's ready to launch." ”

He had just checked the image comparison device of the missile, mainly the small radar equipment in the warhead part, and Feng Xiaotian proposed to use the camera to compare the images to determine the target of the attack. This technology can only ensure that the missile can be used in good weather conditions, which is obviously not enough, and later Wang Jianguo raised questions about this, and Feng Xiaotian also gave a corresponding solution - install a small radar on the warhead to observe the terrain, and then determine the accurate orientation of the target according to the radar echo, so that it is more versatile.

Captain Chen nodded, turned around and walked to Prince Abdullah's side and smiled, "It's ready, you can test fire now." ”

When Prince Abdullah heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Then launch it!" ”

After a tense countdown, the modified Dongfeng-3 missile was propelled by a huge white air current. The body of the projectile, which weighed more than 60 tons, slowly rose into the air, and the flames in the tail illuminated the sky above the base and also illuminated Wang Jianguo's cheek, who stood in the launch room. Looking at the light on the computer screen, I thought to myself: This is Xiaotian's technology, and there will definitely be no problem! Be sure to succeed!

After an initial slow acceleration, the missile became faster and faster. Soon disappeared into the night sky.

Soon, the Dongfeng-3 medium-range ballistic missile was detected by the US radar station in the Middle East, and the Americans were a little surprised. They found out that the missile was launched in the southern part of Saudi Arabia, but they did not know what the Saudi government was trying to do.

Of course, the Americans know the model of this missile, and according to the information sent back by the radar, this missile should be the Dongfeng-3 missile secretly sold to Saudi Arabia by the Chinese government a few years ago, and they have completely mastered the performance of this missile, so at this moment, seeing the Saudis launch this missile at more than 12 o'clock in the morning, the Americans were confused.

The target identified by the missile is in the northern region of Saudi Arabia, which is an abandoned military airfield, which is relatively close to the direction of Iraq, and the Saudi government has long deactivated this airfield for security reasons, but because it is a military unit, there are still more than a dozen soldiers guarding here.

The soldiers had been informed that they had evacuated to a safe area. But even so, these dozen soldiers are also very worried about their own safety, they learned that the test launch is Huaguo's missile, their hearts are a little abrupt, in their opinion, although Huaguo's missile range is very long, but the accuracy is too poor, in case it accidentally falls on their head, then they will burp? So the men drove all the way to a mountain five kilometers away, and then set up night vision binoculars to observe the airport. Earlier, they received a call that the missile would target the second apron of the airport, so the direction they observed was the No. 2 apron.

The area of the No. 2 apron is very large, more than 500 square meters, which is a special apron for US strategic bombers.

"Schar, do you think this missile can hit the second tarmac?"

"It's hard to say, if you're lucky, you can probably hit, but if you're unlucky, you may miss it."

"Axel, what do you think?"

"I don't think I'm optimistic, don't look at the area of 500 square meters is already very large, but the minimum strike accuracy of the Dongfeng-3 missile is about 1500 meters, if it can hit, it must be the manifestation of Allah."

"I also think so, China's scientific and technological level has always been very backward, and if it is an American missile, I think it is about the same."

When the team leader heard this, he said, "Don't you know the confidentiality clause?" This is a secret, and we can't just talk about it! ”

Hearing this, Axel smiled and said, "Knowing the captain, we will pay attention." ”

The next few people brought up other topics, and they didn't care at all about whether the missile could hit the target.

At this moment, Captain Chen sat beside Prince Abdullah with a map, only to see him pointing to the map and saying: "Your Excellency, the target of this missile is this abandoned military airport, specifically the No. 2 apron of this airport, we have set the center point of the No. 2 apron as the attack point, the distance between the two sides is about 1,800 kilometers, according to the missile's flight speed, it can hit the target in about 19 minutes and 30 seconds." There are your observers over there, and we will get in touch with them as soon as possible, and we believe that they will send back the effect of the attack as soon as possible. ”

Prince Abdullah smiled slightly when he heard this: "Chen, I am very much looking forward to this, if the upgraded missile can achieve the expected - even if it is only half of the expected effect, I will be very satisfied!" ”

Captain Chen laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, Huaguo friends will not disappoint His Excellency the Prince." ”

Nineteen and a half minutes is not too much, no less is enough, Prince Abdullah chatted with Captain Chen, and time is slowly passing.

Wang Jianguo was closing his eyes in front of the computer. The missile has already been launched, because the Saudi government does not have military satellites, and the radar is also owned by the Americans, for the sake of secrecy, the test launch did not use tracking and monitoring means, so Wang Jianguo did not know the current state of the missile, in order to suppress the apprehension in his heart, he simply closed his eyes and pretended not to care. But his slightly trembling shoulders betrayed him.

The Saudi personnel sitting next to Wang Jianguo saw him shivering and thought he was a little cold, so he said, "Wang, are you cold?" Would you like to bring you a piece of clothing? ”

Hearing this, Wang Jianguo opened his eyes and smiled, "No need." How long has it been since the missile launch? ”

The Saudis looked at the timer and replied, "Nineteen minutes have passed." ”

Wang Jianguo said in his heart when he heard this: There are still about thirty seconds! The time to test us is coming, just don't let anything happen!

The thirty-second countdown was underway, and at the same time the military airfield was packed on a hill five kilometers away. More than a dozen Saudi soldiers also kept their mouths shut, after all, it was an order from their superiors, and they also had to do a good job in the relevant survey work.

But they didn't see anything. The military airfield in the distance was so dark that even with night vision binoculars, they couldn't see it very clearly, and after a while, someone said, "Look at the sky, everyone!" There's a highlight! ”

At this time, the missile is close to the final stage of attack, and the speed of this missile has reached more than 3,000 meters per second, but the thruster at the tail end of the missile is still struggling to send out the last trace of thrust! The thrusters want to increase the speed of the missile a little faster, so that the missile can break through the enemy's air defense.

Of course, there is no air defense system in this place, and when the other Saudi soldiers looked up at the sky, the last thruster of the missile separated from the missile body, and then burned up in the atmosphere like a meteor.

At this time, the missile has completely entered the final stage of attack, and now the missile is only a high-explosive warhead and the last guidance device, and under the action of gravitational acceleration, its speed has risen to more than five thousand meters per second! And it's still rising!

Such a speed is difficult for the defense system to intercept, and even if the United States encounters the speed of the terminal attack of such a missile, it will have to try its luck.

After the last thruster of the missile burned in the atmosphere, the Saudis could no longer see the missile, and the whole sky fell into black silence. At this moment, the warhead has entered the atmosphere and is violently rubbing against the air, and the special material ensures the safety of the warhead, otherwise if the temperature is too high, the warhead will explode by itself.

The Saudis thought that the bright light just now was caused by the failure of the missile test, and immediately someone said: "Tsk! Huaguo's technology is so bad, it looks like this missile should-"

As soon as he said this, a bright light suddenly flashed at the military airfield in the distance! The 1.5-ton high-explosive warhead carried by the missile has exploded! Under the impact of the terminal speed of the missile terror, the airfield was immediately smashed out of a large crater! This impact alone is already lethal enough! The warhead that exploded immediately after it was like a giant firework, instantly destroying everything within five hundred meters of the surrounding area!

In order to verify the effect of the blow, many scrap cars were placed on the No. 2 tarmac, and at this moment, these cars were instantly ignited by the high temperature and high heat of the explosion, and then they were lifted into the air by the shock wave and rolled down dozens of meters away!

The Saudi soldiers first felt a vibration on the ground, then they turned their heads and saw the flash of the explosion and the smoke, and under the reflection of the huge fire, they saw many objects flying in the air!

More than a dozen people were all stunned, and after being stunned for more than ten seconds, they heard a huge explosion in their ears!

The Saudi soldier who spoke earlier only came back to his senses at this moment, only to hear him shocked: "Allah is on top...... It turns out that this missile did not fail...... It's spectacular...... It's so powerful......"

When the others heard this, they said:

"It's really spectacular, look at it...... Seem...... Hit the second tarmac? ”

"It should have hit, right? It looks like the location is about ......."

"Are Huaguo's missiles so advanced? With a distance of more than 1,800 kilometers, you can hit it so accurately! (To be continued......)
