Chapter 708 Air Force, an opportunity to go abroad
Those who can sit in the conference room of Sanzuomen are definitely not ordinary people.
Although I was quite frightened by Chang Haonan's surprising language at the beginning, this was mainly because the word order was reversed and the emphasis was placed on the front.
After listening to his entire idea, everyone quickly figured out the key points—
Do you think Chang Haonan is talking nonsense?
Then he is not talking nonsense.
In fact, even in the original timeline, after the Allied operation ended, a group of "peacekeeping" units were stationed and maintained their presence for a considerable period of time.
It's just sent by the EU.
That's right, sending peacekeeping troops is never something that only the United Nations can do.
As long as the host country agrees (or is agreed), other international organizations and even a single country can also do so.
Of course, the outcome of the last Allied operation was a complete victory for the coalition forces, so naturally there is no fairness in this so-called "peacekeeping". It is just another set of nice words for "military occupation".
Although China has had experience in similar operations before, it was only to neighboring countries. It dispatched engineering troops, and the mission it performed was to maintain peace.
Even if other countries outside the region have the intention to do so, they have neither the status nor the ability to intervene when the battle has already been fought and the defenders have been severely defeated.
The United States launched the allied force operation in name to protect people. Now that peacekeeping units are stationed, and the U.S. military is included among them, it can completely declare to the outside world that its original goal has been achieved, the allied force operation has achieved complete victory, and it is logical to withdraw its troops. win.
This mission proposed by Chang Haonan is not on the same level at all.
For someone who has experienced the 2020s, peacekeeping is daily news that can be seen anytime and anywhere. There is also a standardized execution system for personnel selection, troop allocation, daily operations, etc.
The situation in the Balkans is close to an end for almost all forces. Under such circumstances, it is natural that the United Nations, which presides over "equity and justice", should step in to control the situation.
For China and Russia, who are currently on the defensive, they can turn the situation that was almost a sure loss into what it is now, preserve the Balkans that is almost torn apart, and even legitimately regain some influence on the region. Strength, definitely make enough money, win.
They are only the same in name.
However, just like all the wonderful ideas that Chang Haonan has proposed before, the plan is a plan and the execution is execution.
As for the subsequent compensation and apology, that is another matter and has nothing to do with the situation in the Balkans.
However, the situation today is completely different.
Furthermore, for the five great virtuous people, they are all decent in terms of face.
Hence, no one immediately expressed clear support.
Now it is okay to choose to end things as soon as possible and give the Allied operation a decent end.
But not in the late 1990s.
The reason why this idea was first proposed by him was mainly due to his broad thinking.
The issues that professionals have to consider are far more complex than those for laypeople.
Winning five times means losing money.
The military only needs to write down a few key indicators when putting forward technical requirements, but to implement them, it has to mobilize countless manpower and material resources and spend months or even years.
This is the same as building an airplane.
For Britain and France, which have been bombarded, they can also explain internally that they withdrew from the operation as soon as possible in response to the losses they suffered in the Balkans, and it was precisely because of their "tough" stance that the United States was Forced to end Allied operations, maintain prosperity and peace in Europe, and win.
Now the situation is just reversed.
So Chang Haonan is not in a hurry.
Judging from the expressions of others, especially Mr. Zhang and Fu Youquan, it is not difficult to judge that they have begun to think about specific operational issues.
And this is an attitude in itself.
… In the end, it was Mr. Zhang who set the tone:
“We do not have the final say on peacekeeping missions, so there will definitely be no results from the discussion at this meeting. It is already past noon, so I suggest adjourning the meeting temporarily.”
“However, I will have a phone call with General Anatoly Kvashnin of the Russian Army in the afternoon. If the superior leadership does not object, then we can communicate on the phone about the possibility of this matter at the implementation level..."
“In addition, regardless of whether it can actually take place in the end, the General Staff must formulate a detailed plan in accordance with the standards of regular military operations, especially at the level of logistics supplies and emergency response.”
Fu Youquan, who was suddenly called upon, quickly replied:
"yes!"
Lao Zhang closed the notebook in his hand and nodded with satisfaction:
“On the one hand, this plan is indeed feasible, and there is a high probability of obtaining preliminary approval from superiors. The faster and more detailed the plan is, the stronger the confidence it will give to superiors.”
“On the other hand, our country has been in a peaceful environment for a long time. Such an action plan with a practical background, even if it is only a paper exercise, is of great significance in improving the capabilities of the staff.”
“Also, the Air Force's newly established strategic transport aircraft unit must also be prepared.”
He looked at Liu Yaoshun on the other side:
"If we really need to deploy forces to the Balkans, the efficiency of sea route is too low. Only air transportation can meet the timeliness. It is also a window for our military to display to the outside world. In the past two years, the superiors have allocated funds for strategic transport aircraft procurement and training. Very generous. There is no compatibility issue with the Il-76 when flying to Eastern Europe. If something goes wrong at this critical moment..."
Lao Zhang did not continue, but stretched out **** and tapped the table lightly.
Hearing this, the latter naturally knew that he wanted to express his position:
“Chief, please rest assured. Since last year, the transport aircraft force has carried out several long-endurance transport missions in unfamiliar airspace in China. We are confident that long-distance cross-border transport missions can be successfully completed!”
Chang Haonan continued to return to Little Transparency after just finishing his thoughts, but he felt a bit regretful when he heard this.
After all, even if his plan is actually implemented, China can still only use imported Il-76MF to perform this task.
We can only show the air force's style, but there is no chance to show the capabilities of the aviation industry.
Coincidentally, in the previous generation, China's domestically produced strategic transport aircraft carried out its first mission in Europe. It also flew to the Balkans and delivered a batch of Hongqi-22 anti-aircraft missiles.
It's just that those missiles arrived a little late...
After the meeting, Chang Haonan packed his things and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Liu Yaoshun behind him.
“Comrade Haonan.”
For some reason, the head of the Air Force seemed a little worried when he spoke:
“In your opinion, is this example of using anti-aircraft artillery combined with multi-point passive search radar to shoot down a stealth fighter aircraft repeatable?”
This question was a bit beyond Chang Haonan's expectations, but he still shook his head decisively:
“Although I came up with the plan, I must admit that luck played a large part in it.”
"The reason why they chose anti-aircraft artillery in the first place was because they really didn't have decent modern anti-aircraft missiles on hand. The S125 really couldn't cope with the dual pressure of interference and low RCS at the same time. If even the early models of S300PT, 36DM1 warning radar and The combination of 5N63 fire control radar also has a considerable possibility of burning through interference in close range and narrow beam mode..."
"Moreover, the more important problem is that the range and shooting height of the anti-aircraft guns are not enough after all. They can only supplement the air defense after the opponent completes the bomb drop. Just like this time, the B2 has actually dropped the bomb. If not GPS jamming plays a role…”
Chang Haonan did not continue, but the meaning was already clear.
You will always suffer from air defense afterwards.
“So… a better anti-stealth idea is to use advanced medium- and long-range air defense missiles, paired with radars with passive search capabilities?”
“For us, of course.”
Chang Haonan replied.
“That's good…that's good…”
Liu Yaoshun was obviously relieved:
“Don't worry about the expansion of the anti-aircraft artillery force…”
