Chapter 318: Timing, Timing
On October 27, there was no incident.
The Yin army began to appear a little relaxed, and many people thought that it was impossible for the US army to launch an attack.
0:00 on the 28th.
One plane after another took off from the ground, and the ships docked in the Gulf region were the first to launch more than 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
At this time, in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, a reporter from the French Reuters news agency was making a live report to the TV audience: "On my left, there is a civilian airport, on the right, there is a military airport, and now, at the airport on the right, there are two warplanes about to take off, I don't know whether to prepare for flight tests or officially launch .....an attack on the Yin army."
The TV screen suddenly turned, and the photographer exclaimed: "Left, left, the plane on the left has also taken off!" ”
The TV camera quickly shifted over, and the TV viewer found that dozens of planes on the runway began to take off one after another.
"The war has begun!"
At this time, the electronic suppression of Yin Jun was also carried out to its peak.
After several months of waiting, the US military was well aware of all the communications and radar frequencies of the Yin army, and launched a strong electronic jamming of the Yin army five hours before the start of the war.
On Yin Jun's radar screen, there was only a vast white noise left, and it was impossible to distinguish the target at all.
At this time, the exhausted Western reporter pushed open the floor-to-ceiling curtains of the hotel where he was staying, and inadvertently noticed that in the distant sky, a string of red dots appeared, and it was like a flowing flame when it went up.
Immediately afterwards, the telecommunications center building became the first victim.
Huge flames burst from the building, illuminating the dark night sky.
After that, the presidential palace building, the Yoon Lak Air Force command post, and the soldiers' camp all burst into flames one after another, accompanied by a deafening explosion, and thick smoke rushed into the sky.
anti-aircraft radar positions, airfields, command and communications facilities, nuclear reactors, chemical weapons plants.....
Many of Yin Lak's key goals have turned into flames.
Until this time, the roar of any aircraft engine could not be heard in the sky, except that from time to time, a missile with a red and blue tail flame, or a laser-guided bomb, would fall from the sky.
The explosion was so violent that those Western journalists had to cover their ears tightly.
All they could hear was the sound of Yin Jun firing aimlessly anti-aircraft guns into the sky.
Countless anti-aircraft shells exploded at high altitudes, turning night into day.
This time the bombing lasted three hours, but surprisingly, only one F-16 and two British Whirlwind fighters were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery.
Several TV reporters rushed to the Air Force pilot who had just returned to the plane, and in front of the TV camera, one of the pilots grinned:
"Everything is wonderful, looking down from the sky over Yin Rak is like looking at a sparkling Christmas tree!"
During the three-hour bombing, the US military claimed to have blown up 80 percent of Yin Lak's military targets, while the French side cautiously advertised that the destruction targets should be about 50 percent.
But then, Mauritian also showed high-altitude satellite photos they took.
Through infrared analysis and expert comparison, they believe that most of the targets bombed by the US military are fake targets camouflaged by rubber and wood.
The television signal coming back from Baghdad surprised all the TV viewers.
Just hours after the bombing by the multinational forces, Saddam Hussein appeared on the footage of a local television station.
He kneels on the ground in prayer, then rises up and announces to his men, the people, and the world: "The indomitable battle has begun, and we hold on to a strong and firm position..... Victory is coming! ”
Then, dressed in military uniform, he was inspected in Baghdad, which was still filled with gunsmoke, and the soldiers continued to cheer.
In front of the badly damaged Air Force building and air defense headquarters, Saddam Hussein once again declared that he was going to make the blood of the people of the United States flow like a river!
Looking at the TV screen, the angry Saddam, Chen Weidong turned his head to look at the people around him and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Yin Lak will be defeated!" Li Yun replied without thinking.
"It depends on how far he will be defeated and how determined the US military is, whether they want to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait or whether they are ready to get rid of him once and for all."
Chen Weidong smiled and looked at the others.
Xiang Shaohua and the others were watching the TV intently just now, and through Qiao Zhiyong's translation, they roughly understood what the host said on the TV.
He pondered for a while and said: "The people of the United States will not kill Saddam, they need a reason to continue to stay in the Middle East, if Saddam is solved, then they will have no excuse to continue to station a large number of soldiers in the Gulf." ”
Chen Weidong shook his head.
Xiang Shaohua asked in surprise: "Mr. Chen, you don't recognize my judgment?" ”
Chen Weidong shrugged his shoulders and said: "It doesn't matter whether I recognize it or not, I don't really care about Saddam's life or death, I just want to ask you, what impact will this incident have on us?" ”
Everyone understood.
Their eyes lit up, and Chen Jie took the lead in saying: "Tomorrow's newspaper headlines will no longer be our network!" ”
"Hahaha!" Chen Weidong laughed heartily, "You're right, don't talk about the headlines tomorrow, it's hard to say whether there is any news about us on the rest of the pages, so we finally got out of the limelight." ”
"Life will go on, and the people who go online will continue to go online, but the media will no longer report on us, which is the biggest good news for us!"
Sure enough.
Before dawn, a large number of supplements, special issues, and express newspapers appeared on the streets outside, reporting in detail the outbreak of war in Yin Lak.
And after dawn, all the media, whether big or small, published all the news related to Yin Lak.
Although there are still reports on the infinite web in some computer columns, the intensity is no longer large.
Attention from all over the world has been drawn to the bay area.
While their eyes were all shifted to Yin Lak, the "preemptive tactics" that Chen Weidong had been proclaiming were also being implemented quickly.
On October 28, Lin Zeju received Chen Weidong's instructions to charter a 10,000-ton ship and hurriedly transported a large amount of equipment from China.
Chen Weidong spent a huge amount of money, paid $200 million at one time, hired a large number of American engineers, and mixed with a small number of Chinese engineering personnel, and launched the network construction work in full swing.
His network construction is divided into backbone network construction and network construction between various communities.
Since the supercomputer network of the four companies has been built, the focus of the construction of the backbone network is to quickly extend outward and connect with other local area networks.
It is best to be able to dig trenches and bury fiber optic pipelines.
If you are not allowed to dig a trench, then pass over your head, like a power line, and pass from above.
If none of this is allowed, then take a detour.....
All in all, there's only one goal: fast! With the fastest speed and the shortest construction period, those partners who want to join the infinite network will be integrated into the mainnet operation!
The engineers of Infinity Company have also rebuilt the original networks and updated their transmission equipment and service systems according to the principle of large to small, near and far.
As long as the infinite optical fiber is involved, all the pre-work has been done in place, and it can be connected to the grid directly.
Because America is vast and sparsely populated.
Those users who have a small number of users and are scattered are not very valuable, so they are still advised to continue to use the original communication lines for the time being.
Like Hawke, who intends to form their own community network, Infinity has also given strong support.
Infinity's own servers are constantly being shipped by sea and air from China.
They have won everyone's praise with their low prices and high cost performance, especially small companies like Hawke, who started their own businesses and did not have plenty of funds on hand, which was simply overjoyed!
How much construction money have been saved for these servers!
Before that, they were even mentally prepared that even if the performance was a little worse, it didn't matter, compared to the expensive servers in the United States, the difference was too considerable!
However, when the server was actually connected to operation, they were surprised to find that the performance of this kind of server produced from Huaxia was so strong!
Greatly exceeded their psychological expectations!
It turns out that a medium-sized server can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars, but the server of Infinity only charges 100,000 dollars!
Such a low price has also greatly stimulated the expansion of the team of individual entrepreneurs.
The number of individual startups that joined Infinity Network has rapidly expanded from a few hundred to more than 3,000, and the small network companies they have established have varied in size.
The big ones are a few hundred, the small ones are only a few dozen, or even a few people.
But the accumulation of user resources in their hands is quite huge, and the total number of them has reached more than 7.8 million, which is an astonishing number!
These small network companies alone seem inconspicuous and even a little simple, but the scale effect formed by them is actually not inferior to that of large network companies.
Moreover, these networks are very convenient to build, and the location of the server is where they live or rent.
The objects they serve are also adjacent to the left and right, and the lines are laid against the wall, and they can be installed in the home soon.
Using a small program-controlled switch, connected to the main network, a small network to do, its cost is only two or three hundred thousand US dollars, in this middle class occupies the majority of the country, many individual entrepreneurs, can easily raise this fund.
Of course, their survivability is also very low.
In the more than a year since Infinity Network was put into operation in the United States, thousands of individual entrepreneurial network companies have been established, but 60 or 70 percent of them have closed down after the maturity of various large network service companies.
However, when they go out of business, they usually pass customers over to them in accordance with the original agreements reached with the big four Internet companies.
Their greatest contribution was to help the Infinity Web gain a foothold in the United States when it was at its most vulnerable.
Although the outbreak of the Yinrak War diverted most people's attention from the establishment of the infinite network, in the eyes of some people with hearts, this network is still their confidant.
