Chapter 268 Final preparations

“Chinese war correspondents in Darfur were attacked!”

"Chinese war correspondent was attacked and fortunately escaped safely."

"The leader of the Revolutionary Front armed organization Hamidi said: It is a pure misunderstanding."

"The United States solemnly issued a statement: It was purely a unilateral act by the Revolutionary Front organization, and it had nothing to do with it."

"The situation in Darfur is complicated and confusing, and there may be support from other countries behind it."

After Liu Guangyu was attacked, under the deliberate guidance of China, media from various countries began to pay attention to this incident.

And obviously, as long as they have a little understanding of the matter, everyone will focus on the same goal:

USA.

After all, the large amount of exposed American equipment, the extremely familiar style of doing things, and the "source of riots" mentioned intentionally or unintentionally by the Revolutionary Front organization all imply one thing:

The United States has intervened in Darfur affairs on a large scale, and has reached a level sufficient to control some key personnel.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.

Not only from the outside, but also from within the United States, there was a wave of doubts.

Why do this?

Why should we spend a lot of resources to participate in a war that has nothing to do with our own side when the economy is already in extremely difficult circumstances?

Houston has trouble speaking out against such doubts.

But fortunately, Congress has not shown dissatisfaction with him yet.

——

Of course, that could also be because Congress has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

They only knew that Guolou and the May Club were involved in this matter, but they did not know that the entire United States had actually been dragged into the water.

No. 603, in Chen Nian's office.

Chen Guo sat across from him with a leisurely expression, drinking tea and said to Chen Nian:

"This time, the beauty is really covered in yellow mud. If it's not shit, it's shit."

"With so much American equipment in front of the camera, it's hard for them to argue."

"But I find it quite strange, why would they do such irrational things at this time?"

"Liu Guangyu is just a reporter, not a spy. What benefits can the United States gain by attacking him?"

After hearing his words, Chen Nian shook his head and replied:

"It's definitely not going to do any good."

"Basically, this is just a petition."

"You also know that after the previous weather balloon tactics were made public, the originally organized offensive in Darfur has been postponed, and there is even a trend of ceasefire and peace talks."

"In this case, the United States must find a way to refill the oil tank for them."

"Killing a Chinese is the best way to surrender to Darfur - or in other words, it also forces them to a dead end, and they can only follow the route designed by the US."

"This is a very normal strategy. The only thing that surprised me was that it was not Hamidi who took action, but his adjutant."

"This legendary irascible and crazy general doesn't seem as stupid as everyone thinks."

Opposite Chen Guo nodded slightly and said thoughtfully:

"Indeed it is."

"If Hamidi hadn't responded quickly, Liu Guangyu would have been unable to survive."

"Even if our drone flies over, it is impossible to actually participate in the battle. The final result cannot be changed."

At this point, Chen Guo changed the topic.

"However, the performance of Rainbow-9 is indeed better than we expected. It is not that there is no radar in Sudan, but it has penetrated to Darfur and returned from Darfur without being detected by radar waves. Its stealth performance

Really excellent.”

"of course."

Chen Nian replied proudly.

In fact, the Rainbow-9 drone is not an upgraded version of the Rainbow-8, but a multi-functional version of the Rainbow-8.

After Chengfei's improvements, the stealth performance, low-altitude and low-speed performance and endurance performance have been greatly improved.

This allows it to better adapt to the needs of long-distance flight operations, and its reconnaissance capabilities and precision strike capabilities have been enhanced.

However, compared with the Rainbow-8, its bomb load is greatly reduced. At best, it can carry two ground-attack missiles or four air-to-air missiles.

——

But fortunately, it is impossible for such a drone to undertake the task of saturation bombing. Its mission is to go deep behind enemy lines, bear the risk of being destroyed, and strike against the enemy's key targets.

Initially, this drone was actually prepared for Vietnam.

But since the Treasure Island stalls were rolled out on a large scale, J-20Cs were also deployed, and J-22s were patrolled on a regular basis, and the sea calmed down almost instantly.

Originally planned to be deployed to Treasure Island, the Rainbow-9 used for tactical exchange has no use.

As a result, it was delivered to various army units, and one of them was sent to the Blue Army camp in South Sudan.

Unexpectedly, just a few months after arriving there, this drone has already made great achievements.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian suddenly felt something in his heart.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Maybe we should consider opening some overseas bases."

"Opening an overseas base? Are you too anxious?"

Chen Guo asked in surprise.

"Well, there's no need to worry."

"Historically, the number of a country's overseas military bases must be linked to the country's military strength. When your military strength reaches a certain level, you have to open bases even if you don't have to."

"Now, we are at the critical point of a military breakthrough. Once we cross it, the development speed will be extremely alarming."

"So, it's best to be prepared in advance."

"What's more, there is a major opportunity right in front of us."

"what chance?"

Chen Guo asked.

"Sudan Naval Port."

Chen Nian answered without hesitation.

Speaking of overseas "supply depots", perhaps the most famous one in the era when he traveled back in time was the supply depot in Djibouti, Ethiopia.

But in fact, he knows very well that the one in Africa that China, the United States, and Russia are really fighting over is the one in Port Sudan.

It is a natural port with developed transportation and strategic location. Taking Port Sudan is equivalent to driving a nail into the entire African continent.

The troops stationed there can spread their influence throughout Africa.

If there is a problem in any area, at the speed of a fighter jet, we can get there within an hour.

It can be said that if China wants to advance its African strategy, the Sudan military port is a springboard that must be stepped on - economic alone is not enough. Only with sufficient military deterrence can its citizens feel confident and bold to make money.

"Sudan Naval Port? That's a good idea."

"With our current relationship with Sudanese officials, we do have an advantage if we want to capture this port."

"However, the infrastructure level in Port Sudan is too poor. After taking over, I'm afraid we will have to spend a lot of time in construction and operation."

Chen Nian smiled slightly and replied:

"Are we still afraid of this?"

"So many gantry cranes, cranes, excavators, and even sand dredgers are not just for domestic use."

Under strong deterrence, the situation in Darfur has entered a temporary period of calm.

Of course, this does not mean that the problem there has been completely solved.

In fact, after dealing with Khalifa's "rebels", Hamidi immediately started a new round of negotiations with the United States.

The previously slow-moving technical support plan has made new progress, and he can't wait to hope that his biggest backer can truly project their power to this land as soon as possible.

The reason is simple. The enemy he faces now is no longer just Khartoum.

Drones can fly over their heads, why can't missiles fly over them?
