Chapter 350: Visit from the Science and Technology Commission

How many air-raid shelters can be built in a non-permanent barracks?

Can all 30,000 US soldiers and more than 50,000 logistics personnel be allowed to hide inside?

The spokesperson continued without changing his expression: "During Saddam's missile attack, General White, the commander of the Jahra barracks, always stood firm. Before the attack stopped, he led his staff to inspect the damage to the barracks.

Unfortunately, he was buried by a concrete wall that suddenly collapsed and died in the line of duty."

In a measured and solemn tone, he described General White as a devout Christian, a good husband in the eyes of his wife, a good father in the eyes of his daughter, and a resolute and brave warrior.

However, his passionate speech only moved a few emotional female reporters.

Most people looked at him expressionlessly, and as soon as he finished speaking, they immediately asked one sharp question after another.

Didn't the Riyadh command center anticipate such a large-scale missile attack from Iraq?

The Jahra Barracks has tens of thousands of troops and is the forefront of the offensive. Why is its defensive capability so fragile?

According to the confirmation of a surviving soldier, during this attack, some Arab soldiers acted as Iraqi internal agents and directly participated in the process of destroying the communication network. In the Middle East where Arab informants are everywhere, how does the United States coordinate its relations with them?

The United States has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on piling up high-tech defense systems that have no way of intercepting Saddam's attack with cheap weapons. Are the annual taxes paid by taxpayers only filling the pockets of arms dealers?

What’s shocking about American journalists is that they often do anything to dig up news.

Some reporters among them asked bluntly: "Is the United States going to repeat the mistakes of the Vietnam War and fall into a quagmire of a war that loses troops, loses generals, costs a lot of money, and achieves nothing?"

Faced with the relentless questioning from reporters, the spokesperson dealt with a few irrelevant questions in a panic, then hurriedly announced that the press conference was over and left the scene as if he was running away.

The same situation is happening at the Presidential Palace.

The reporters went straight to the core issues, but some members of Congress deliberately ignored them and only answered some trivial questions.

On the lawn, they repeatedly talked about how great General White was who died in the line of duty, how he stood up in critical moments and fought until the last moment.

They even invited General White's widow.

In front of the camera, they spoke tearfully about their love for their husbands and fathers.

The press conference turned into a memorial service for General White.

His wife and daughter cried intermittently and spoke plaintively, immersing the entire venue in an atmosphere of grief.

It's just that no one here, even at this moment, has spent even a second to think about the hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq who, like the families of these soldiers, have lost their loved ones.

, the family was ruined and people were destroyed.

The Americans, who have always considered themselves noble, and the commanders who died for them in launching the war, burst into tears, but turned a blind eye to the cries of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

There is nothing the president can do.

The heavy losses at Jahra Barracks this time made those who thought they had big hearts feel frightened.

The deaths of many general-level officers, including General White, left some hawks who tried their best to lead the war unable to explain themselves to the American people.

They can only introduce a hero to divert the attention of reporters and the public.

It would be best to turn their anger onto Saddam so that the American people can support them and carry the war to the end.

Until the oil in Iraq is completely controlled.

These hawks have been caught in a dilemma and are eager to get out of the current predicament.

They know very well that the war in Iraq must continue. If it is stopped at this time, the people will hold them responsible for launching the war.

Arms dealers and oil traders will also be furious at their losses.

Originally, when the war just broke out, arms manufacturing companies were favored by countries around the world because of the excellent performance of their weapons, received large orders, and even expanded their production scale.

However, when Iraq used electronic jamming devices, both sides became blind and deaf.

From the battlefield videos released by Iraq, people discovered that the Iraqi Su-27 was not inferior in the face of the F16. Even the MiG-29, which they thought was vulnerable, shot down multiple F16s in close air combat.

As for the US military's early warning aircraft, they simply did not dare to enter Iraqi airspace.

Those who had always been superstitious about the combat effectiveness of the US military suddenly understood.

Although Iraq's weapons are relatively backward, most of the updated weapons of the US military fall within the category of electronic warfare and must be assisted by early warning aircraft, ground radar and other means to achieve effective killing.

Once the electronic command center is destroyed, its combat effectiveness will not be much stronger than that of the Iraqi army.

After the Battle of Jahra, orders from arms dealers were canceled one after another.

Those countries that want to purchase US military weapons in an attempt to achieve a once-and-for-all solution understand that they do not have the same advantages as the US military.

Spending so much money to buy a bunch of weapons that can't achieve the expected results isn't it like being taken advantage of in vain?

However, you still need some powerful weapons at your side, otherwise your neighbors will not take you seriously.

Their sights began to search around the world again, hoping to purchase some cheap weapon systems with roughly equivalent performance.

Hua Xia, who had always remained silent, suddenly jumped into their sight.

at the same time.

South China City, Infinity Company.

More than a dozen buses with special license plates filed into the company's gate.

The vehicle was driving slowly in the campus of Infinite Company. The people in the car all stared at the surrounding environment with wide eyes. Everyone felt extremely excited about Infinite Company, which is well-known but always shrouded in a veil of mystery.

curious.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The company's six major laboratories, strict confidentiality measures, and security personnel specially deployed by the state have isolated them from the outside world.

Many people can only find half-grained information from the Internet, newspapers and magazines, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

Being able to enter Infinity Company on the spot today, everyone has a high degree of curiosity and wants to find out what makes them different from other research units.

Several air force personnel saw the towering buildings inside the company with their keen eyesight before the convoy entered the Infinite Company.

Entering the company at this moment, the ninety-nine-story behemoth building looks even more majestic, as if it stands tall and supports the entire company.

"Old Zhang, do you think this is the headquarters building of Infinity Company? Are Chen Weidong and Chen Jie on the top floor?" Li Gang looked at the glass exterior wall of the building and asked Zhang Bin next to him.

Zhang Bin looked at the other buildings inside the company. Except for a thirty-story building on the west side, most of the other buildings were two or three-story antique buildings. He hesitated and said: "Probably, right."

"Looking at this height, it should be the core building of Infinite Company. The senior staff of their company should all work here, right?"

Next to them, an escort from Huanan City burst into laughter.

Logically speaking, the municipal department is not the direct contact department of Infinity Company.

Especially in terms of scientific research projects.

They are completely outsiders.

However, due to the relationship between Director Zhang and Chen Weidong for many years, everyone gradually believed that it was most appropriate for the municipal department to deal with Infinity Company.

Director Zhang is in charge of multiple departments and is usually very busy, but he plays the role of contact person every day for several years.

During this survey, Director Zhang was on another bus, accompanying visitors from the General Assembly and the Science and Technology Commission.
