Chapter 939 Research
"And what?" Generally speaking, when you hear this word, nothing good is going to happen next.

"Moreover, the people of Southern Jiaozhi have received a lot of weapons and equipment support from the Orientals, which poses a considerable threat to us. Among them, the new weapons directly threaten the main means of transportation for our special forces - helicopters."

Why is it an Oriental again!
"Which ones? Let our arms company figure it out!" The head of Citi held his breath.

"They got the CSA-1 portable anti-aircraft missile from the Orientals. The performance of this missile is better than our similar 'Red Eye' missile. It is very effective against low-altitude helicopters. So far, we have lost more than 300 helicopters in South Jiaozhi, some of which were shot down by this weapon. Especially when our special forces launched a raid, the South Jiaozhi people only need two or three of these missiles to disrupt our raid."

This is an old trick of the Citigroup guys. C stands for country, SA stands for surface-to-air missile, and -1 means that this is the first type they have confirmed. It is the naming method used by the Oceanic Treaty Organization for the weapons of the Russians and us, and it is different from the actual name of the missile in our own country.

For example, the S-75 missile is called SA-2 there, and the CSA-1 he mentioned is actually the Changying-62E portable air defense missile that we use to support the Jiaozhi people.

Although the Changying-62E is a simplified model, how many people can the special forces have? Even if the South Jiaozhi Army is brought in for a raid, there are not many aircraft. As long as one or two of their helicopters are shot down, it can almost be declared a failure of the operation. They don't want to lose their lives because they are short of manpower.

It's just a few US dollars a month, why bother with it?

For helicopters, a few people hiding in the jungle of South Jiaozhi cannot be seen from the air at all. If these people are carrying portable anti-aircraft missiles, then it will be a big problem.

Soldier, you don't want to be discovered by missiles while you are flying in the air, right?
The people at Citigroup looked at each other in bewilderment; they had no idea what to do.

If we can still find a way to negotiate with the Russians, it is like a tiger trying to eat the sky - we have no way to start with the Orientals.

"At the same time, the Orientals also provided the Southern Jiaozhi people with a very flexible and mobile soft target killing firepower, which can launch concentrated fire strikes almost anywhere within a few kilometers. Although the number is not large, the cumulative effect is very troublesome for us, and it has a great impact on morale."

This gave the Citigroup people a headache. If general artillery firepower could not be separated from roads, and small and medium-sized mortars with relatively slow firing rates and short ranges posed limited threat, then this thing was simply a monster.

The long range, great power, short strike process, large number of projections, and elusiveness, coupled with the weak artillery range of the Americans, are simply maddening. The large-caliber rockets are too late, and the small-caliber rockets can't reach the target. Even if they can reach the target, they are useless because the people have already run away, and there is not even a rocket launcher tube left.

Compared with the air force, the Citigroup's artillery range has never had much of an advantage.

"Don't you have any solution?"

"Not really. Our arms company is currently researching the installation of infrared jammers on helicopters. Once this is accomplished, the threat of portable anti-aircraft missiles will be reduced to an acceptable level."

The performance of the Changying-62E, which uses lead sulfide as a coolant, is far inferior to that of the Changying-62, which uses a mercury cadmium telluride red and ultraviolet dual-color guidance head. If it is also equipped with infrared jammers, its hit rate can be almost suppressed to below 20%.

"In addition to this passive method, can't we take some more proactive actions?" The head of Citi touched the back of his head which was aching slightly.

His aide shrugged. “This is the most extreme that can be done within the existing authorization framework of Congress, my sir.”

For the United States, their leaders can hardly mobilize troops without the consent of Congress.

But there is one exception: the Fourth Class.

Authorization from Congress? The head of Citigroup was tempted.

"Sir Commander, I don't recommend it. It's still too early. The situation is not bad enough to be unacceptable. And we must consider that we can't fall into the situation we faced twelve years ago. There is a giant in the north of Beijiaozhi that is a big problem for us. We'd better not provoke him."

As if they could see what he was thinking, the staff and soldiers in the conference room stopped him.

Originally, the Citigroup boss was going to take action in 65, but I didn't expect that he would be forced to this extent at the end of 62.

The Citigroup leader temporarily put aside his thoughts. Indeed, he could be dismissive, but the wall in the capital engraved with the names of the fallen soldiers told him that he had to be cautious about this matter.

After all, behind KIA, there are a bunch of names of people who died from missing, crashes, illness, accidents, etc., and they can't even get on the wall.

Cheji General Walker——WTF!!!

South Korea: Kill generals in battle +1.

On Tuesday, Gao Zhendong came to Beijing University of Technology as usual. As soon as he entered the office, the Defense Work Committee called him. There was a mission - a business trip, and it was a relatively long one, which was of great significance. As for the root cause of this matter, it was said to be related to his suggestions on the third line.

Fortunately, it was just a notification and did not require departure that day, so it did not delay Gao Zhendong's classes and the arrangements for some things in the meeting a few days ago.

In line with the principle of doing something familiar is worse than doing something new, Gao Zhendong directly selected Professor Liu for the 12.7mm heavy machine and Lecturer Zhang for the bunker blaster at the relevant project selection meeting of Beijing University of Technology.

This has nothing to do with nepotism. These two are not Gao Zhendong's relatives. It's just for convenience. Compared with acquaintances whose abilities are already known, Gao Zhendong has no intention of taking a gamble. As soon as he returned to his office after the meeting, Associate Professor Zhang came happily. That's right, Gao Zhendong didn't know until the meeting that she, who made stun grenades and tear gas, had been promoted to associate professor.

Therefore, Associate Professor Zhang is extremely grateful to Gao Zhendong for the burden he has given her, both publicly and privately.

"Congratulations, Teacher Zhang, hehe."

"I still want to thank you, Professor Gao. Without you, I don't know when I can get the rank of associate professor."

It has nothing to do with your ability. If you don't have any research projects or achievements, then no one can rashly promote you and you will just have to wait for years.

"Excuse me, I'm going to trouble you again this time." Gao Zhendong didn't say anything more and directly drew the structure of the two bunker blasters on the blackboard. The principle of this thing is actually very simple. The trouble lies in the details, but it is not very troublesome.

Gao Zhendong didn't know the details, but he thought it wouldn't be a problem for Associate Professor Zhang.

"Haha, I see. This is easy. We're getting another bargain this time." Associate Professor Zhang said happily.

"Well, experiment more and try to adapt to as many types of soil and terrain as possible."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Associate Professor Zhang took the structural diagram and said goodbye happily.

Professor Liu, who received the school's notification after class, also rushed to find Gao Zhendong as soon as possible.

However, his idea is a little different from that of Associate Professor Zhang. The bunker blaster is relatively simple, but what he wants to do is a bit involved.

"I have received the mission. I plan to do some research first and collect the opinions of the troops before proceeding. This way, I can consider the details more thoroughly."

The major parameters have been decided, but Professor Liu feels that the details still need to be carefully considered. The army has not given a tight time frame for this matter, and they are probably prepared to take their time. In addition, the weight that Gao Zhendong lifted was too shocking, so even if they believed it, they still gave Gao Zhendong enough time.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, that's true. Then I won't tell you anything about the technical aspects of this topic, so as not to have preconceived ideas and affect you, hahaha. You do the research first."

Professor Liu nodded. Professor Gao’s consideration was indeed thorough. If he had said something first, he would probably have done his work with prejudice during the research.

On Wednesday morning, Gao Zhendong sent Lou Xiao'e and the two kids back to Lou's home. In the afternoon, he, his accompanying comrades and other experts who were responsible for this mission, boarded an An-2 specially transferred by the army.

The distance this time is quite far, and given the current situation of domestic civil aviation, there are no flights to the destination in the short term. The train ride takes too long and there are too many uncontrollable factors on the road, so I have to go on the air tractor to try again.

A direct flight of more than 1700 kilometers is already the maximum range of the An-2, so the trip was divided into two parts. First, fly to Chang'an in the afternoon, rest for a night, and then fly directly to the destination the next day.

It takes almost 1700 hours for the An-2 to fly 10 kilometers. Gao Zhendong is fine, but there are older comrades in the work team who definitely cannot stand such a long flight.

In Qianyang City, Qianshan Province, there is a group of buildings next to the Zhuangyuan Building and on the banks of the Qingshui River.

In an office, a correspondent knocked on the door and walked in, holding a document.

"Leader, there's a call from Beijing. The expert team's plane has taken off and is expected to arrive at the airport at 12 noon tomorrow."

"Well, good! Is the reception ready?" The leader was very happy. He knew that this was a major opportunity for this barren mountainous area.

"We're ready. The accommodation is at the Guanzhou Hotel next door. Security is also in place. I don't know what the experts are used to eating, so we'll mainly serve light, easy-to-adapt Cantonese cuisine."

"Well, how about adding some local characteristics?" The leader is not from Qianshan, but he works in Qianshan and is very familiar with the local situation in Qianshan.

"Fish in sour soup?" This should be the local specialty that is most easily accepted by comrades from other places.

"Fish is not good, it will get stuck in the throat. Let's have beef in sour soup. Speaking of beef, that beef... forget it, most people really can't eat it. Let's have some mutton from Chongyi area. Comrades are not that squeamish. It's very humid here, so let's drive away the cold." The leader laughed.

Ox tripe, sheep tripe and sour shrimp tripe are all the super specialties of Qianshan, but they are a bit too special... Sour shrimp tripe and dried tripe are better, but the soup tripe of the former two is so delicious that most people can't stand it, let alone those from outside the province, even those from within the province.
