Chapter 310: Conditions that cannot be refused
Two hours after Hu Shuming warned Abad, Monsoon's convoy passed through Sinqat unimpeded.
A thrilling crisis disappeared invisibly, and the moment he saw the warship, Monsoon's tears almost flowed.
——
Of course, there are not a few people who really shed tears, and the officers and men who are responsible for receiving and maintaining order have no experience, and they can't even persuade them.
There were even people who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the warship, but they couldn't pull it up.
The originally touching and heartfelt scene added a bit of comedy for a while, and Hu Shuming, who was in command, could not cry or laugh, so he had to order the officers and men of the Marine Corps to go 200 meters forward to guard in case of accidents.
However, the frightened Revolutionary Front did not dare to make any more small moves, and until all the evacuees were relocated to the Weishanhu, the port remained calm.
On the deck of the Weishan Lake, everyone walked around excitedly and took pictures, while Hu Shuming stood with Ji Feng to learn from him about the latest situation in Khartoum.
"At present, we will have more than 840 people to evacuate in the next batch, including our embassy staff."
"I have already provided the route, including the precautions along the way, and the documents that need to be prepared."
"Theoretically, as long as there are no major changes in Khartoum, there will be no problem with evacuation."
"Now we have to think about the evacuation from Port Sudan."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Hu Shuming waved his hand and said.
"The sea distance from Port Sudan to Djibouti is more than 1,000 kilometers, and it can be completed in one day."
"After we get to Djibouti, we will arrange for the evacuation from Addis Ababa."
"The plane has been contacted and will fly directly back to China."
"In general, as long as the road from Khartoum to Port Sudan can be passed, there will be no more danger in the future."
"Rest assured that it will be left to us, as long as it is in our hands, I guarantee that every compatriot can go home safely."
Hearing this, Monsoon's long-standing tense mood finally relaxed.
He held Hu Shuming's hand tightly and said:
"Leader, I've worked hard for you this time."
"We don't work hard, you are hard."
"It's such a long way, no one answers, it's all up to me to touch it, even if I think about it, I feel very rare."
"Everyone can come back safely, and you can't do it."
Monsoon hurriedly waved his hand and replied:
"It's nothing to do with me, in fact, it's mainly up to you."
This is not because he is modest, in fact, he knows better than anyone else that he can come safely from Khartoum this time, relying on whose strength he can rely on.
Is it enough to arrange a vehicle?
No, if it weren't for the embassy's passes, I'm afraid these cars wouldn't even be able to get out of Khartoum.
Is it just a matter of planning the route?
No, if not to hold
Passports, any militant who stops a car can make everyone doomed.
Is it enough to have a good relationship?
In Sincart, isn't it still stopped?
Why was it suddenly released, Monsoon does not know.
But he could guess......
Thinking of this, Monsoon couldn't help but think of the foreigners who died in Sinkat.
Their homeland must not want their own people to die outside like that, but it is clear that there is nothing they can do.
In this world, whoever has a big fist will be able to win more voice in the world.
Whoever is strong will be able to fight for more chances of survival.
This "law" was shown in the most naked way in this operation.
After a moment of silence, Monsoon continued:
"There are still many citizens from other countries stranded in Sinqat, most of them from other countries in the Middle East and Africa."
"I guess they're a lot of bad luck-—— there's something wrong with the Revolutionary Front forces over there, not like they're with those near Khartoum."
"It's really not a one-off – Sinqat, including Port Sudan, is not part of Hamidi's direct line."
Hu Shuming's brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he continued:
"To put it bluntly, they do the dirty work."
"It's not so much that they're under the control of the Revolutionary Front, it's that they're under the control of the United States."
"Of course, this kind of 'control' is actually just a joke."
"Actually, it's ridiculous to think about it, these people's equipment is the best in the revolutionary front armed forces."
"But they have the best gear, but they do the dirtiest things."
"What do you mean by that?" Rejoice that power is in the hands of civilization', and now it is the complete opposite, 'lament that power is in the hands of barbarians'. ”
Monsoon involuntarily smiled and said in a slightly mocking tone:
"It's not a day or two - I have dealt with them a lot, and I can say that I know exactly what their virtues are."
"When the North and the South were just divided, I went to South Sudan to investigate."
"I've seen the mercenaries of Blackwater slaughter the surrounding villages in order to grab an oil field."
"Moreover, they also faked the scene as a tribal armed conflict - you are a soldier, have you ever seen a tribal armed force with 5.56 bullets? I haven't seen it anyway. ”
"This continent is full of blood, but I dare say that at least more than half of it is related to that rogue state"
"It's a fucking cancer, and I don't know what I'm going to do to wipe them off this earth completely-—— isn't it appropriate for me to tell you this?"
Monsoon suddenly reacted, and the person standing in front of him was a soldier.
He behaves too belligerently and seems to be at odds with the other party's philosophy
Hu Shuming waved his hand and replied:
"It's okay, just a casual chat."
"Besides, there are times when I still hope that people will trust us more."
"Of course we don't want war, but if someone has to threaten us with war, they get the result."
Hu Shuming stopped his mouth in time and did not continue.
Not far away, the sunset over the sea had gradually set, and the satellite phone of the monsoon rang, and Lin Tao on the other end of the phone told him that the second group of teams had set off.
Hu Shuming also heard the content of the call, he patted Monsoon's shoulder, and said:
"Let's go, the big army is coming soon, we need to be ready."
"You have experience, and the overall management will be handed over to you for the time being."
"Tell the compatriots over there that the bed and food are ready."
"When everyone is here, let's go home together!"
A few days later, Chengdu.
The news of Sudan quickly spread to the country, and ordinary people were naturally excited, but from this incident, Chen Nian saw more things.
The lack of initial preparation was an irrefutable mistake, and secondly, crossing 1,000 kilometers through a war zone was also an extremely dangerous move.
This time is lucky, but what about next time?
If an accident occurs during the evacuation of a civilian, how can it be explained?
You must know that most people, even the people themselves, cannot see the majority who are saved.
Their eyes are fixed only on the small group of people who have had misfortunes.
——
Don't talk about the accident, even now, everyone who can be contacted has been evacuated safely, and the media is constantly hyping up "the evacuation is not comprehensive" and "the process is not safe".
It's really not ordinarily difficult to gag them.
However, Chen Nian didn't care too much about this situation.
What he was really thinking about was another question.
The incident exposed some shortcomings.
If we go back ten years, this deficiency will not affect the overall situation, because our development focus is still in China.
But now it's different.
Whether it is economic or otherwise, we are bound to "go out".
Then, how to ensure the safety and interests of overseas facilities and overseas compatriots has become an issue that must be considered.
What happens when Africa's mines are hit? What if the Middle East's shipping routes are disrupted? What if an incident like Indonesia's one happens again and lives are directly threatened?
The only way is to ensure the presence of your own strength at all times, and ensure that you can send a deterrent team to directly solve the problem at the first time.
At this point, crossing the river by touching the eagle sauce is a good idea.
Develop aircraft carrier formations, implement the Global Hour strategy, and build bases everywhere.
Doing this is equivalent to laying a global network, and any problem on any node can be responded to in a timely manner.
——
But embarrassingly, such a strategy is not appropriate.
Eagle Sauce's global strategic projection capability is not built in a day, nor in a year, nor in 10 years.
Their global strategic projection capabilities have been built up after more than half a century of cumulative development.
Can we wait 50 years?
Apparently not.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of "differential".
The current situation is that technology and the economy are developing too fast, but the growth of the "real power" brought about by technology has not kept up.
A very simple example, the J-22 has been born for more than four years, but the actual equipment of the troops is only a dozen or so.
In this case, it is impossible to completely reproduce the route of the old beauty.
By the time we slowly build up aircraft carriers and bases, we will probably lose the advantages we have finally built up overseas through technology.
So, we had to find a different way.
Internal force can't grow rapidly in a short period of time, so it's better to go to the extreme and create a unique discipline that can kill people without internal force.
For example, the Sunflower Treasure Book, Dugu Nine Swords and the like
Thinking of this, Chen Nian slowly exhaled a breath.
He tapped lightly on the table and wrote down the key to the question on a piece of paper:
Power projection.
As long as the problem of "delivery" is solved, even if we do not have a base and do not have an aircraft carrier formation, we can produce a corresponding deterrent.
Once this is established, the idea is clear.
We need a rapid response team that can project our forces around the world in a short period of time.
The equipment on which this team relies must be advanced enough to compensate for the natural disadvantage of "insufficient production capacity".
Of course, it is also necessary to rule out "nuclear weapons", which can have the same effect, but must not be used indiscriminately.
The scope of the answer narrowed down a lot in an instant, Chen Nian thought for a moment, and wrote down a few constraints on the paper.
High delivery efficiency.
The construction cost is relatively low compared to the "global base".
Enough fast construction speed.
Absolute superiority in technology.
Combining these conditions, Chen Nian once again wrote down several potential options.
These include hypersonic manned vehicles, long-endurance drones, giant transport aircraft, space-based weapons platforms, and more.
But after pondering carefully, Chen Nian found a problem.
All of these solutions have their own natural disadvantages and shortcomings.
And there is only one way to circumvent these disadvantages.
That is.
Stitch them together.
The equipment you want needs to have super high maneuver speed, super long air time, super large payload, and super destructive power.
What can meet all of these requirements at the same time?
There is only one answer.
Air-space combat platform.
Sure enough, for the most part, the course of technological development is fixed.
Now, this project, I'm afraid it's going to start ahead of schedule.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian picked up the phone on the side and dialed Chen Guo's number.
After connecting, he briefly exchanged a few words, and then said:
"I want to start a pre-research project related to the aerospace combat platform."
"I need Xinghuo to help me output a detailed technical development roadmap and provide me with all the information including basic technology and implementation steps."
"For example, what level of launch vehicle technology needs to be reached, what level of manned space technology needs to be achieved, what level of fuel technology needs to be achieved, and so on."
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo on the other side said a "yes" without thinking, and then continued to ask:
"How is this project positioned? Although it is said to be a pre-research, there must be a basic schedule, otherwise, I will not be able to arrange the investment of resources. ”
Chen Nian thought for a moment and replied:
"This will be the flagship project of the aerospace sector in the future."
Chen Guo instantly understood what he meant.
The so-called flagship project does not mean that it is only an "air-space combat platform", but that this project should be set as the "end point", and all technological development will be carried out around this project.
The technological breakthrough generated in the process is the "immediate benefit" of this project.
"Clear, I'll arrange it."
"What about the name of the project? What is it called? ”
"What's it called. Shake the light? Temple? Nantianmen? ”
Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"You don't have to be innovative. Let's call it Nantianmen. ”
