#477 - Chapter 477: A war breaks out in the Middle East? He Dayuan succeeds? The president of North
The CEO of Jiu Tian Electronics is personally assembling a computer.
It'll definitely be fast!
But even if it's fast, it still takes time; it can't be delivered instantly.
Taking advantage of the gap, Chen Hao made his first call to General Wang.
He had spent the entire summer in the underground research institute.
He was out of touch with current events.
He urgently needed to know if any major events had occurred.
Firstly.
North America launched an operation in late July!
After more than half a month of assembling, over 100,000 troops set out, heading straight for a certain location in the Middle East.
On the water surface.
Four aircraft carrier strike groups gathered in the Persian Gulf.
The target area isn't coastal?
No problem!
From the Persian Gulf to the target isn't far; whether it's the carrier-based aircraft from the aircraft carriers or the cruise missiles from the destroyers, they can all reach.
Not to mention the air force.
How did the Gulf War play out back then?
First, electronic warfare was used to paralyze the enemy, then advanced fighter jets gained air superiority, followed by bombers dropping bombs.
This time, electronic warfare aircraft were also used first.
And then…
There was no 'and then'.
The electronic warfare that had been repeatedly successful in the Gulf War completely failed here—the first wave of aerial attacks encountered fatal resistance!
Before the North American electronic warfare aircraft even arrived, they were detected by the enemy.
The fourth-and-a-half generation fighter jet codenamed 'Shakyamuni', previously only possessed by Southeast Asian warlords.
Now, it had also appeared!
What's deadly is…
These fighter jets all possessed extremely strong electronic jamming resistance capabilities, and they also carried electronic warfare pods, coupled with powerful fire control radar and ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles… The North American electronic warfare aircraft were completely wiped out!
Aircraft carrier-based aircraft?
High-frequency pulses took care of everything all at once!
With the collapse of the former Soviet Union, North America became the sole superpower, but this superpower…
Was being utterly crushed in the first round of engagement against a local organization in the Middle East.
North America was in a dilemma.
Withdraw?
Forget about having any influence on the international stage in the future.
Let alone being a superpower.
Finally, North America found a breakthrough point—ground warfare!
The enemy has advanced individual weapons?
North America isn't weak either!
"Commander, you wouldn't believe how lively it's been for over a month since the war started."
General Wang slapped his thigh, overjoyed: "The two sides are evenly matched, but that's North America we're talking about! This is something to watch…"
North America requested reinforcements from its allies.
And the result?
The vast majority only donated money, afraid to send troops.
They were evenly matched with North America; were they going to send people to die?
After all, the opponent is just a local organization.
Small in number.
North America, as a major country, ranks among the world's most populous, but when its strength isn't dominant…
Send in more troops!
More and more troops are heading to the Middle East.
With the fighting like this, the whole world's attention has been drawn: the strength of that organization doesn't lie in individual combat capabilities, but in its extremely powerful equipment.
"The second thing."
General Wang stopped smiling, lowering his voice: "He Dayuan has succeeded!"
Late July.
North America launched an anti-terrorism war.
Early August.
He Dayuan launched a counterattack!
Immediately afterwards, Myanmar unilaterally announced to the outside world that it had formed a brotherly alliance with China.
China, however, claimed that it only liked doing business and would never form alliances.
At the same time, many countries secretly went to the Myanmar authorities, asking where they bought their weapons.
It's worth mentioning that.
Even earlier, there was a battle in the Middle East.
Therefore, some were looking for He Dayuan, and some were looking for that old man in the Gaza Strip.
It's all the same!
Both sides are Chen Hao's agents; customers ultimately have to place orders online.
"The new weapons factory's production capacity has expanded four times compared to before and is still expanding!" General Wang grinned.
Making money!
The modification price for the J-10 is 80 million Chinese yuan.
After all, it's a single-engine aircraft.
After all, it's a light fighter jet.
The materials used are far inferior to the J-22.
What's the selling price?
120 million—US dollars!
War is the only standard for testing weapons.
Whether it's the clashes in Myanmar or the North American anti-terrorism war, they have all been tested.
Europe's Rafale fighter jets were completely wiped out!
North American electronic warfare aircraft were annihilated, and now they have even abandoned air combat and are fighting ground wars with their opponents.
Isn't this the best proof?
Expensive?
Not important!
As long as the actual combat is strong enough, there will be customers willing to buy.
The arms factory's production capacity has greatly expanded?
Still not enough!
…
Chen Hao's information was interrupted.
He was on the phone with General Wang, understanding the situation during this time.
Thousands of miles away, the White House.
It was clearly time to get off work, but the President remained in his office.
His brow was deeply furrowed!
How… how did this battle turn out like this?
A bunch of local armed hillbillies actually possess various advanced weapons; North America didn't gain any advantage, and its air power is even unusable!
North American fighter jets are detected as soon as they approach.
Detection means being shot down!
Conversely.
The enemy's 'Shakyamuni' fighter jets can cooperate with ground forces in combat.
After a month, the outside world thinks they are evenly matched, but in reality, the so-called even match is created by North America using manpower.
Or rather, by filling it with human lives!
North American combat losses are clearly exceeding those of the opponent.
But…
It must be falsely reported!
If the outside world knew the truth, how could North America be the world police?
What international status would there be to talk about?
Only 'younger brother' status would remain.
"We've made contact…"
Suddenly!
Secretary of State Warren ran in: "We've made contact with the seller!"
"Great!"
The President quickly stood up: "Let's go!"
He was very clear that if they continued fighting like this, North America would suffer heavy losses.
Win?
They would definitely win in the end.
But North America couldn't afford the price of that kind of victory!
There was only one way left…
Buy weapons!
Once North America also had those weapons from the other side, coupled with its own advanced weapons, it would definitely gain an absolute advantage.
An hour later.
The two arrived at the military command center.
Of course, not the Pentagon.
The building had been bombed flat; it wouldn't be rebuilt that quickly.
"Mr. President, we've made contact with the seller!"
The newly promoted general quickly greeted them: "We sent an undercover agent to infiltrate the Gaza Strip and discovered that all the equipment comes from… this website!"
"Our side has already registered an account and become a basic member of the website."
"We've sent a purchase intention and are waiting for the other party to quote a price!"
The President's face lit up with joy.
Good!
Too good!
North America has its own advanced equipment, and with the addition of these advanced equipment…
What do those hillbillies count for?
"They've replied!"
Warren's eyes lit up.
On the computer screen, the other party sent a price list.
"F*ck!"
The President almost went crazy the moment he saw the price list.
Individual small drone…
1 million US dollars!
Individual defense armor…
500,000 US dollars!
The most outrageous thing was the 'Shakyamuni' fighter jet.
Without matching air-to-air missiles, the fighter jet and electronic warfare pod alone cost as much as 300 million—US dollars!
"Damn it!"
The President didn't know much about the military industry.
But he had basic common sense, right?
300 million US dollars…
More expensive than North America's uncommissioned fifth-generation fighter jet!
Is North America's fifth-generation fighter jet stronger?
Not really!
In terms of stealth and maneuverability, the F22 is indeed superior, and stealth is much stronger.
But…
The 'Shakyamuni' fighter jet carries an electronic warfare pod.
North America also has electronic warfare pods?
The problem is, they are not on the same level at all; North America's can't even be considered a younger brother.
What's the use of your F22 being strong?
Beyond visual range attack?
The missile will be intercepted by the other party's high-frequency pulse.
Then, get beaten!
"Do we… buy it or not?" Warren asked hesitantly.
Too expensive!
Really too expensive!
A fourth-and-a-half generation fighter jet without missiles sells for 300 million US dollars.
Is there any difference from robbery?
But…
Is there a choice?
