Chapter 915: Everything is under Comrade Zhendong's control

"They only know that we used extremely fast and unimaginable means to crack open a can of Sindhu, but they can't figure out what means we used. As a result, they may have a lucky mentality. It's better to show them openly and put an end to their thoughts."

We are in a meeting, so we have to be serious and we can't say anything dirty.

Deterrence, deterrence. The invisible is deterrence, and the visible is also deterrence. The terminal-sensitive munition is suitable for letting the other side see it appropriately.

The unknown is the most frightening thing, but the lack of solution is the greatest despair.

"You mean to intimidate them? That makes sense. It's undoubtedly a good thing to suppress some things. But what if they come up with a way to deal with it after reading it?"

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Well, I am confident that they will not be able to do anything for a long time."

In fact, until the end of time, when the two Maos fought, there was no good way to defend against this thing.

Gao Zhendong analyzed: "If the force is strong enough, we can force the enemy's delivery tools, including aircraft, artillery, and rocket launchers, out of range, but this is difficult. If we don't have this ability, the only way is to reduce the distribution density of tanks to a very low value. If that's the case, then there's no point in talking about a steel torrent. It's just a drizzle of steel. We can't defend against a torrent, but we can still defend against a drizzle."

Gao Zhendong's words made all the leaders present laugh. This metaphor was very vivid.

"But if they work on the tank's armor..." Some people were a little worried.

Gao Zhendong was even happier: "I wish that, then their tanks will really become iron turtles. I can't say whether they can withstand attacks, but their speed is really comparable to that of turtles. It's okay to focus on protection, but if you want full protection, the weight cost is too high. But for this weapon, the significance of focused protection is better than nothing."

Gao Zhendong was very happy when he thought that the tops of enemy tanks were all covered with steel armor of more than 80mm or composite or explosive reactive armor with similar effects.

Why, decades after the invention of terminal-guided bombs, the tops of tanks around the world are still almost bald?
It’s not because you become stronger when you’re bald, but since you can’t prevent it anyway, it’s better to just ignore it.

The comrades did not speak, but seemed to be thinking. Gao Zhendong was the deputy chief designer of the second-generation tank and the leader of a large number of advanced technologies. Many people here knew this. In terms of the specific technology of the tank, no one here knew it better than him.

Although it is not absolute, but if he says it is not possible, it is likely to be impossible.

Gao Zhendong added: "And this weapon is not just effective against tanks, it is effective against all vehicles. For the Iron Torrent, even if it has no tanks lost, as long as other vehicles are destroyed, it will still be unable to move forward. You can't put 80mm armor on fuel trucks, logistics trucks and accompanying vehicles, right? Tanks are oil-guzzling. Without fuel trucks, their continuous assault capabilities are actually very pitiful. And without the assistance of infantry fighting vehicles, tanks are actually very vulnerable to infantry anti-tank weapons."

It is somewhat counterintuitive that pure tanks are afraid of infantry, but this is the fact, especially in the present and future when individual anti-tank weapons are highly developed.

This is the very unsolvable problem of the terminal-guided munition - it is effective against all vehicles, but almost all vehicles cannot withstand its attack.

Gao Zhendong's words reminded his comrades of his other identity - he is arguably the researcher of the most advanced individual anti-tank weapons in the world. Both 61 Fire and Red Sword-61 are top players in their respective fields.

"If they lower the infrared signature of the vehicle?"

"We don't have the capability to do that in the short term, and the cost is too high to bear. And by the time they can reduce the vehicle's infrared signature to a low enough level, haha..." Gao Zhendong didn't say anything else.

But everyone knew what he meant. Haha, I still have a way to deal with him, but the price might be too high, so he is not doing it now. But don't forget, in terms of infrared observation, no one can compare with Gao Zhendong.

“But as long as they strengthen the key protection at the top, the trouble caused in a battle cannot be ignored. The impact is not big, but it cannot be said to be non-existent.” said a troop leader.

Gao Zhendong is very familiar with wanting this and that.

"Then we will increase the power of the top attack and top that screw shell. They can't make too many dojos, haha, it's hard to keep up with the change in power." It's not a big deal, it's just changing a medicine cover. That thing is expensive, but it's actually affordable.

Looking at Gao Zhendong's confident smile, his comrades realized that he had a backup plan.

The comrades in the army recalled that when they wanted to ask the comrades from Beijing University of Technology to further improve the penetration of the terminal-sensitive projectile, they were blocked by Gao Zhendong.

At that time, comrades from Beijing University of Technology mentioned that Gao Zhendong had a way to further increase the penetration, but it was unnecessary because of the high price and lack of demand.

——Everything is under control, and it is truly under control.

Since we are not afraid of the enemy's ability to defend against it, from the perspective of deterrence, Gao Zhendong's words are not entirely unreasonable.

If this is the case, then another problem arises.

"What if the other party imitates this weapon during the communication with us?"

Gao Zhendong laughed, even a little mysterious. "First, I suggest that we just show them the scene and effect of the attack from a distance, so that they know what kind of weapon it is and feel intimidated. But we won't show them the specific details and technology. To put it bluntly, they can't even get close to it."

"Will they agree to this?"

"In fact, in my opinion, the Russians don't necessarily have to obtain this kind of weapon. What they want more is that others don't have to obtain this kind of weapon," said Gao Zhendong.

Hmm? An unexpected path!

Gao Zhendong's words reminded many comrades that although this angle was tricky, it was quite interesting.

"Well, Comrade Zhendong's words are quite interesting. The Russians have powerful armored forces and air forces. As for the need to strike clustered armored forces, they actually have alternative plans, and it is not very urgent."

"That makes sense. The Russians are not afraid that they don't have it. What they are afraid of is that if their enemies have it, their advantage will be greatly weakened." The terminal-sensitive munition is not a panacea, but it can greatly weaken the effect.

"You don't have to strengthen yourself, but you can't strengthen your enemies! This is an interesting idea."

"Well, in this way of thinking, they just need to see what the weapon is like. Their real purpose may not necessarily be to obtain it."

"This reminds me that if the Russians wanted to get this thing by asking for an exorbitant price, and then lowered their demands and stated their real demands, they might really get the bargain."

The leaders of the National Defense Committee and the Army looked at each other. Zhendong's brain was so interesting, it could be said to be unique. He thought about problems comprehensively and from a tricky perspective, but there was always some truth in his thinking.

"Well, Zhendong, what you said is interesting, keep going."

"So they don't necessarily want to get it, so if we only show them half of it, it won't actually affect anything. Besides, it's quite difficult to replicate it from a distance."

What are the characteristics of the Russians' things? They are big, black and thick.

The terminal-guided munition needs to be small enough to fit into a variety of projection tools and to be available in large quantities.

The formation of a large number of terminal-sensitive bombs is truly terrifying.

Moreover, the Russians' infrared and electronic technologies have shortcomings everywhere when it comes to terminal-sensitive munitions.

Just looking from a distance, they couldn't determine the overall technical route and specific solutions of the terminal-guided munitions at all. By the time they guessed it and solved it one by one, it would take a long time.

"Moreover, we have no intention of invading anyone, so we don't have to worry about the technology of terminal-guided bombs spreading. This thing is more beneficial to the weaker defender." Gao Zhendong's words really took up the moral high ground.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Gao Zhendong was convinced that by the time the Russians could really develop a terminal-guided bomb, it would be almost the end of his life, and there was a high probability that he would have at least stepped into the big pit of Central Asia.

Hey, Comrade Zhendong, what he said is very good, we like to hear it. The comrades present nodded frequently, agreeing with him deeply.

"Besides, we can discuss the issue of technology diffusion with our northern big brothers, haha. Also, promise them that if the situation develops to the point where it is necessary, we can provide them with this weapon. I think they will basically have no objection."

This boy is as clever as a monkey.

Some comrades' eyes brightened when they heard the first half of the sentence, but no one spoke in agreement.

Gao Zhendong didn't care. If there was anything, he could take the lead in speaking out, but it would be inconvenient for other comrades. Anyway, his ideas had already been spread and could influence others, and that was enough.

"Well, Zhendong's words make sense. I think the comrades in the north are most worried about the spread of technology. We can use this as an excuse to refuse to provide technical details. After all, everyone knows that they and the Western world are infiltrating each other like sieves. I'm afraid that as soon as our technology arrives, the West may have already received the news."

This is obviously not what Gao Zhendong meant by "let's discuss it", but the leaders of the Defense Work Committee led him to think of it this way. I don't care what you think of it in the wrong way, but this is what Comrade Zhendong meant.

And we cannot say that the leader is wrong. Everything he said was correct.

The leader of the army nodded: "Yes, that's right! Not providing details is also for their own good. It helps them keep it secret. The best way to keep a secret is to not know the secret. Hahahaha."

Everyone laughed. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that Comrade Zhendong's suggestions were interesting and worth discussing.
