Chapter 250: Delivery

The officer in charge of receiving Liu Guangyu was called Khalifa, and his style was much more professional than the other armed men on the road.

He first took Liu Guangyu to the accommodation that had been arranged long ago, and then briefed him on the local curfew policy and the sentry post arrangement in El Fasher, the capital of Darfur.

In just one hour, he made it clear to Liu Guangyu what he could and couldn't do.

This made Liu Guangyu a little surprised.

He spoke, half sincerely, half flatteringly:

"General Khalifa, you are very professional, which is different from what I imagined at the beginning."

Hearing his words, Khalifa laughed and replied:

"Mr. Liu, with me, you can be completely assured."

"We are not professional soldiers, but that doesn't mean we're brutal thugs."

"On the contrary, here we do much more humanitarian relief than we do officially."

"Many people have survived because of our presence, and their attitude towards us is not hatred, only gratitude."

"I'm sure you'll find out about these situations in a while."

"Of course, I also hope that you can report the situation here fairly and objectively, which will help us further promote the peace process."

Liu Guangyu smiled and nodded, and replied:

"Of course, that's exactly what I want to do."

Having said that, in fact, Liu Guangyu only had disdain in his heart at this time.

He has dealt with too many rebels, and he knows how many cruel realities are hidden under the appearance of these "gentlemen".

Humanitarian work?

Are you kidding!

What humanitarian work can an armed group that seeks to subvert existing conquests, enrich itself through violence, and even collude with foreign powers?

It's just a pretext to harvest the humanitarian relief materials given by the United Nations.

The situation is the same in Iran, in Somalia and in Darfur.

Naturally, though, he doesn't show his emotions at this moment.

After all, he still needs to continue to lurk in order to get evidence of Darfur's collusion with the Misayi side.

Only when there is evidence that the armed forces of the Revolutionary Front may rise to the point where it seriously affects regional peace in the short term can the "military observation" to the United Nations be logical.

Only by realizing "military observation" can our forces have the opportunity to extend to this land and suppress the eye of the storm stirred by the United States.

Thinking of this, Liu Guangyu spoke again and said:

"General Khalifa, I need to set up a network transmission center here, which will help me transmit the collected reports back to China as soon as possible."

"I need your help in this regard."

"Of course, someone will help you."

Khalifa replied boldly.

He has a sincere smile on his face, which can easily give the illusion of a smile.

It was as if he was not one of the warlords who dominated one side, but a revolutionary who really wanted to work for the happiness of the people.

But his next sentence exposed the darkness in his heart.

"However, for security reasons, all the news you pass on needs to be vetted by us, right?"

Sure enough, the other party just used himself as a tool for external propaganda.

Even, they may want to use the power of the Chinese government to endorse.

It is impossible for Liu Guangyu to let this kind of thing happen, but here and now, he can only agree first.

"A very reasonable request-—— I will write all the stories in English."

"You know, I can speak Arabic, but my colleagues don't."

"Hahaha, of course it's no problem!"

Khalifa patted Liu Guangyu on the shoulder heavily, and after a few more words, he turned to leave.

He told Liu Guangyu to stay at his residence to rest for the time being, and he called it "too tired on the road".

But Liu Guangyu knew that this was the ban given to him by the other party.

God knows what they're going to get out and prepare

However, Liu Guangyu is not in a hurry.

He was ready to stay here for a long time, and as time went by, those things he wanted would always be slowly revealed.

Now, for the time being, let's do what the "master" says.

Find a way to gain their trust first, and then slowly infiltrate your tentacles

After Khalifa left, Liu Guangyu obediently lay down on the bed to rest.

He didn't fall asleep right away, but kept recalling in his mind what he had seen when he first got off the truck.

Mountains of weapons cases, a steady stream of trucks and forklifts, and a large transport plane parked on a makeshift runway far away.

It is clear that, as judged by the higher-ups, there is a back-and-forth support for the FNI organization behind the scenes.

The boss of these people is naturally Lao Mei, there is no doubt about it.

But how can they get the evidence, find out their next step, and get the word out?

What's in those boxes that have already arrived?

What's in the boxes that may have to continue to be shipped over and haven't arrived yet?

It's all a problem.

If these problems cannot be solved, there will be no basis for one's next move.

At that time, even if military observation is really realized, it will only be forced to fall into passivity.

That's not what we wanted

Liu Guangyu's breathing gradually slowed down, and his mind was still flickering with staccato images, but his consciousness had become blurred.

However, just before he was about to fall asleep, the sudden burst of gunfire outside the window woke him up instantly.

He rolled over and jumped out of bed, lying on the ground.

Bullets whizzed by, shattering the glass of the windows and scattering shards all over the ground.

It was a full ten minutes before the gunfire gradually stopped.

Liu Guangyu vigilantly crawled to the window, stood up in a half-squat a few meters away from the window, and cautiously observed the situation outside the window.

What he saw was a scene he was used to seeing elsewhere.

The corpses that were dragged away, and the blood dripping from the ground.

Clearly, this time, the conflict broke out between the two sides of the Revolutionary Front and the Sudanese military.

Rather, it is the civilian population of Darfur, with the separatist warlords.

There is no doubt about the results.

The victors carried pitch-black rifles with professional sights, and at first glance they might even think they were from some country's special forces

Liu Guangyu's pupils shrank a little.

He realized that the US side may be doing much more work here than his superiors had previously anticipated

On the other hand, when Liu Guangyu successfully entered the Darfur region and began to collect intelligence for the follow-up "military observation" operation, Chen Nian also began to work intensively.

As soon as his superiors made a decision, he received the news.

In fact, the news came as a surprise to him.

In his expectation, the higher-ups should adopt more conservative response strategies, such as using international public opinion to build momentum, arousing international attention, and uniting other member states to exert pressure.

After all, this is the most commonly used method in China in this era.

Although the effect is not good, the relative safety is also relatively high.

To put it simply, it is not easy to involve oneself in disputes.

But now, judging by the attitude of the superiors, it is clear that such a method is no longer the optimal solution.

Of course, after thinking about the relationship between the two sides, it is actually not difficult to come to such a conclusion.

This time, what the United States wants to move is our basic plate in Africa, and it is also an important reserve base for our subsequent development.

In any case, it is impossible for the superiors to react passively.

Therefore, after confirming the authenticity of the news and follow-up plan, Chen Nian also immediately figured out what he had to do.

The so-called military observation is, to put it bluntly, a persuasive one.

Military observers organize patrols in conflict zones, monitor ceasefire lines, military demarcation lines, monitor the use of weapons on the ground, investigate isolated violations of ceasefire agreements, and publicize and report on them.

The military observers sent by various countries are not very well armed, and their security depends on the peacekeeping force stationed there, or more specifically, on the country that sent the peacekeeping force.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth and safe conduct of military observation and to ensure that the purpose of military observation can be effectively realized, there are two most important elements:

First, the national strength must be up to standard and have a significant international impact.

This part restricts the actions of the "official government", which can ensure that when the official government violates the ceasefire agreement or even poses a threat to the local military observers, the country sending the military observers has the ability to impose comprehensive sanctions on them, including but not limited to economic, policy, and diplomatic aspects.

If necessary, the country can even be kicked directly out of the world game.

In view of this consequence, it is unlikely that any sovereign Government will be at will to the detriment of the military observers of the major Powers, or even to spare no effort to ensure their security.

There is no doubt that the current Huaxia has been able to do this.

But the second one, which is relatively difficult.

Because, what it requires is a strong military projection capability.

Or to put it another way, "equal capacity for revenge".

This part restricts the actions of "unofficial military organizations", including certain chaotic tribes in Africa, and some armed groups in the Middle East that have no legal legitimacy and have been forced to Liangshan.

The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and these organizations are often reluctant to cease fire and do not care about tearing their faces with the United Nations until they have truly made an impact.

If you want them to stop obediently, you can only show the knives and guns in your hands, and let them know that if they want to play ruthlessly, they can't play it.

In this regard, the current Huaxia is somewhat insufficient.

Or, in fact, there are not many countries in the world that can do it.

Breaking your fingers will basically guarantee that the three major forces of the United States, Russia, and Europe can be guaranteed.

Therefore, what Chen Nian wants to do is actually very simple, that is:

As soon as possible, we should come up with a piece of equipment that can greatly improve China's conventional delivery capability and form a global firepower deterrent.

And to do this, there is no doubt that aircraft carriers and strategic bombers are the best choices.

After all, you can't bomb someone with a ballistic missile at every turn, but it is not difficult to pass a UN resolution with conventional bombing,,,,,,

Thinking of this, Chen Nian took a deep breath.

Now, his thinking is clear.

Don't do any bells and whistles, as long as the H-20 flies together, most of the problems can be solved!

He flipped through the latest information he had obtained from Tang Changhong and began to flip through the pages one by one.

All the problems encountered or about to be encountered during the trial production of the H-20 are recorded above, including but not limited to the hydraulics, power, and pneumatics of the aircraft.

At present, due to the introduction of carbon fiber production line, the problem of body materials has been solved.

Then the next step is to solve the flight control problem.

It is known that for subsonic fixed-wing aircraft, the critical angle of attack is about 15 degrees, and below this angle, the greater the wing angle of attack, the higher the lift coefficient.

However, after the critical angle of attack is exceeded, the additional angle of attack will lead to a decrease in the lift coefficient!

The reason is simple: when the average angle of attack of the front and rear edges of the wing exceeds the critical angle of attack, the surrounding airflow will separate from the fuselage and create a turbulent vortex, causing the fuselage to shake violently, and the aircraft will rotate by inertia.

If during the take-off and landing phases, the wing may hit the ground, causing a flight accident; If it is at high altitude, the aircraft may have abnormal conditions such as roll, yaw or pitch deviation, which seriously threatens flight safety.

And because of the variable wing design used by the H-20, the risk from critical angles of attack will be greater.

This part of the difficulty has been bothering Tang Changhong for a long time, and the solution they finally adopted is to use the flight control software to accurately control the flight angle and limit the flight angle, so as to avoid stalling.

But in Chen's view, such a solution is not the best solution.

Even if the flight control program really achieves the intended purpose, it will be a limitation on the overall performance of the H-20.

He already had a better, more effective, and more time-saving solution in mind.

Plasma generator.

In his impression, the first time an active flight control plasma generator appeared in China was in 2013.

At that time, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics launched an unmanned version of the technology demonstrator Zidian, through a series of wind tunnel tests, and finally determined that whether it is the use of plasma open-loop control or pressure feedback control, the maximum lift coefficient of the testing machine can be increased by more than 27%, and the stall angle of attack can also be delayed back by more than 4 °.

Undoubtedly, this is a significant improvement in the aerodynamics of the aircraft and the best solution to the problem of critical runaway in the current technological environment.

The only difficulty is how to build the plasma device.

Nobody knows.

But Chen Nian knew.

He picked up the phone and dialed Tang Changhong's number.

As soon as the phone was connected, he said:

"Mr. Tang, I read the report you just brought over."

"Yes, most of the problems are not difficult, but I have noticed that there are some problems where your solutions are not appropriate."

"It's mainly flight control."

"Yes, you can't rely on software, the B-2's flight control program is advanced enough, but it will still fall."

"I have a new idea to use a plasma shower to solve the problem of airflow on the top of the machine."

"Yes, that's right, the plasma generator."

"Huh? Who's going to do it? ”

"I'll do it, I'll fix it!"
