Chapter 112 A Chance Encounter in the Sky
CAF's territory is narrow in the middle and wide at both ends. The capital Bangji is located in the "waist waist" of the south-central part. The location coordinates reported by Leng Jianfeng and Echo are probably in the north-central part. This is not a very long distance. According to Su
At a normal speed of 25K, the task can be completed and returned in about an hour.
The only problem is the weather. The rainy season in the tropical rainforest climate is unpredictable, and large nimbostratus clouds and low-altitude stratocumulus clouds often suddenly form. This is fine for fighter jets and passenger planes, but for low-altitude meals like the Su-25
Moreover, for attack aircraft without pilot assistance systems, the flight window is generally very short, so even if Han Feng decides to let Hassan take a risk, he has to wait until God is in a good mood.
So Han Feng called Hassan and asked him to keep an eye on the weather conditions and take off as soon as possible.
"Are you going to kill those Gauls directly?"
Layla sat opposite Han Feng with a glass of beer. Although she was not an employee of BTD or Wagner, during this operation, she provided a batch of nanorobot injections that could quickly stop bleeding to each reconnaissance team that went deep behind enemy lines.
In addition to expressing my support, I am also collecting data, so I can't be considered an outsider.
"You can't talk nonsense, I don't have such thoughts." Han Feng shook his head and said in a very righteous tone: "I was invited by the legitimate CAF government to help them suppress the rebellion. All targets under attack are
The rebels belonging to the Black Flag forces and CAF, Bunge and I do not believe that the Gallic Congress people are involved with them, so we do not think there will be Gallic people there."
"Heh." Layla chuckled. Of course she could hear what Han Feng meant. Now that Seleka is involved with the Black Flag forces, it is impossible for the Gaul Kingdom to make it public, regardless of internal or external considerations.
He admits that he is supporting them, so even if his teeth are knocked out, he can only swallow it in his stomach.
"But aren't you afraid that Gaul will become angry and take further revenge?"
"In our country, an emperor once said something like this: If you show humility to others, you will become more arrogant; if you use authority to frighten others, you will be fearful. It means that if we keep our posture too low, it will only make the other party too arrogant, and
Only by showing intimidation can the other party restrain itself. The Gaul Kingdom is nothing but withered bones in the grave. Even if it becomes angry, it will not dare to retaliate." Han Feng pretended to be in control of the situation.
Han Feng's words made Leila's eyes light up: "This sentence does make sense. Which emperor said it?"
"Uh..." Han Feng didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, so he had to give it a careless look: "I forgot about this, I just remember someone said it."
In fact, of course, it’s not that he really forgot, but that these words were spoken by Qianlong when he was conducting diplomatic deterrence against Tsarist Russia after pacifying the Junggar Khanate. If the whole story was explained to Leila, who was a Lucian, it would seem that
A little embarrassing.
Fortunately, Leila didn't mean to get to the bottom of it. In fact, she came here for another unrelated matter, and she just happened to meet Han Feng calling Hassan.
"Stop talking about that, I came here this time to ask if your branch in Belgium has access to the national defense field?"
"Yes, although the company is small, I can participate in all bidding work within the entire convention organization. Do you...do you have any needs?" Han Feng was a little confused as to why Leila would ask such a question.
"Well...that's it. The Combat Management System (CMS) used by the German Navy's K130 light frigate contains our country's technology, but you know that our relationship with Europe is not good now, so according to the Europa Union's decree, our company cannot
Continue to participate in this project." Layla considered her tone and then said.
"Wait a minute." Han Feng was shocked by the news for a moment. CMS is not an ordinary subsystem. It is the core of command and control of the entire ship's weapons and equipment. In other words, CMS can obtain information on the ship.
All data, including all weapons and communication systems, and the Germans actually handed it over to their imaginary enemy: "Why would the Germans give this kind of thing to you? Does Brussels know about this kind of thing?"
"The Germans wanted to develop their own CMS, but both Gaul and Britain were very secretive about their technology and were only willing to sell finished products, so they had to come to us in the end." Layla shrugged nonchalantly about this matter.
It was still top secret two years ago, but it doesn't matter now: "As for Brussels, of course I didn't know it before, but now...it's too late to know, the ships have been built."
"So you need to use my company's skin to continue cooperating with the Germans?" Han Feng was a little confused.
"Yes, this matter was originally handled by my mother's company. Now it cannot continue due to sanctions, but the Germans still need us to handle some finishing work, and we... are also aware of the data involved in these tasks.
interest, and the Germans have made some other commitments."
Leila didn't mean to hide anything, and then continued to add: "Don't worry, there will be no risk. If you agree, then five Latvian and Lithuanian nationals will apply for jobs in your company after a while, and then
The German Navy will issue a tender notice. All you have to do is bid. After winning the bid, those five people will do the work. We won’t take any of the money Berlin gives you, and you won’t have to pay for the salaries of those people. How about that?”
Of course, this matter cannot be completely risk-free, but in addition to being able to lie down and count money, more importantly, it can be connected with the German Wehrmacht.
As we all know, the German army in the 21st century is a legend. They have achieved great achievements such as all Tiger helicopters being unable to take off and the availability rate of Puma infantry fighting vehicles being less than 15%. For arms dealers, such an army is almost
A pig-like character.
"I have no objection in principle, but you have to give me a more detailed plan, not just talk about it."
"That's no problem. I'll ask my mother to pass it on as soon as possible after I get back." After finishing speaking, Leila stood up and left Han Feng's repair shop.
At noon that day, Bimber Air Force Base.
Hassan was sitting in the small cabin of the Su-25K attack aircraft. He had been waiting for several hours since he received Han Feng's call in the morning, but the dark clouds above the airport had not dispersed for a long time until about an hour ago.
Cumulonimbus clouds formed and a shower fell, and the sky finally began to clear.
"This is Oasis 01, ready to take off." Hassan closed the canopy, released the brakes and began to taxi.
During the time he was waiting on the tarmac, he had been struggling with how he should behave next. Of course, being diligent and responsible can gain the favor of his boss and stabilize his position, but he must also consider that if he works as an attack aircraft pilot,
If it's too good, the boss may not be willing to let him switch to flying fighter jets.
In this entanglement, Hassan began today's ground attack mission.
Since the expected target was only an unprotected and small camp, he only brought a total of 4 S13 rocket nests and a total of 20 rockets for this flight. Judging from the experience of the last attack, even these older
Sang's relatively large rockets have poor dispersion, but are still deadly enough for scattered soft targets. More importantly, they are much easier to use than free-fall bombs.
Due to the weather, Hassan chose to increase the cruising altitude to 5,500 meters this time, so that he could fly above the clouds to reduce fuel consumption and wait until he was very close to the target before lowering the altitude.
"Base, I would like to confirm again. If I cannot find the target through visual search, will there be red smoke to guide me?"
Since the target was not far away and Hassan was flying at a high altitude, he was able to communicate with the tower during almost the entire mission, which made him feel much better.
"Oasis 01, the intelligence is right, but the reconnaissance team will be very dangerous, so you'd better solve it yourself." The familiar voice of the tower came from the radio.
In fact, due to the serious shortage of command personnel of the CAF Air Force, the person currently talking to Hassan at the tower is Bamba, who lent him the GPS navigation terminal before. As a transport aircraft pilot with not very high skills, the latter really has no skills.
Where it comes into play.
"I'll try my best." Hassan replied in an uncertain tone, while looking down at a monocular telescope tied to his leg - this was a secret weapon he only got two days ago. In theory, it can
Searching the ground becomes easier, at the cost of making flying more dangerous.
When he raised his head again, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a thin and continuously extending white line far away on his upper right side.
"Base, I think I saw a plane flying from north to south, higher than me." At this time, Hassan thought of the bombing of the army troops a few days ago, which made him suddenly have an idea.
A bad premonition: "It doesn't look like a passenger plane from the track. If possible, I suggest letting fighter jets take off to intercept it."
"Hold on."
The radio side was obviously a little overwhelmed by this sudden accident. Since the radar of the S125 system was still on the way, the Bimber Air Force Base was actually in the dark. Although there was a surveillance radar used to assist the landing,
However, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and almost only what is visible to the naked eye can be seen.
Just as Hassan noticed the track of the plane above him, Lieutenant Alan, who was sitting in the back seat of the Mirage 2000D, also noticed the trail cloud pulled out by the Su-25 at a slightly lower altitude. They did not have a definite target for takeoff this time.
During the safari in the central area of CAF, the base in N'Djamena probably knew that there were several groups of medium-sized enemy forces hiding in this area.
"Lieutenant Colonel, there is a plane at our four o'clock direction. It is lower than us. It doesn't look like a passenger plane."
Lunet rolled the plane slightly to the right and saw the small plane flying at an altitude of about 5,000 meters.
The thing about the K130 frigate is true. In reality, it was not disclosed until 2022, and it was eventually forced to change the CMS supplier, resulting in a budget overrun and a two-year delay for the second batch of K130 frigates.
