The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 432 Celebration Banquet

5 minute later.

The manpower in Asan's stronghold was completely wiped out. While the soldiers were collecting Asan's bodies scattered all over the ground, they looked up at the sky in confusion from time to time.

To be honest, the way they fought this battle was inexplicable.

Before they could even encounter the Indians, something suddenly appeared from the sky and launched a massive bombardment, destroying the enemy's heavy firepower.

The few remaining soldiers were stunned and were captured with just one charge.

There was not a single casualty.

If we have to say it, it would be Wang Baoqing.

He rushed too fast just now and accidentally fell and sprained his hand.

"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, we still have other combat tasks to complete!" The company commander said immediately when he saw that everyone was absent-minded.

We just destroyed an Indian stronghold, which is far from a victory.

Just as he was cleaning up the battlefield.

Wang Baoqing, who had sprained his hand, walked a few steps towards him, then remembered the stupid thing he had just done and stopped embarrassedly.

Seeing this, the company commander stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"You performed very well just now. You killed an enemy and didn't bring shame to your elder and second brothers."

"Thank you, thank you, Company Commander." Wang Baoqing was stunned.

In fact, he was too nervous just now, and he fell down, so his mind was confused and he was shooting randomly.

Being able to kill someone was pure luck.

But it doesn’t matter. Destroying the enemy always gives him some confidence.

Wang Baoqing took a deep breath to calm himself down, then asked, "Captain, what was that thing in the sky just now? Why was it so powerful?"

he asked.

The soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield nearby couldn't help but prick up their ears, full of curiosity.

"I don't know either. It only said it was a secret weapon, but didn't say specifically what it was. But looking at the outline, it looks like a helicopter," said the company commander.

Hear his explanation.

The third platoon leader at the side couldn't help but say:
"That can't be right, Captain. That thing just now flew much faster than a helicopter. Even the Emperor's helicopter wasn't that fast!"

He had been to the battlefield in the north to aid the war and had some understanding of the weapons and equipment of the M Empire.

"So what if he's Emperor M? Our country's current technological development has caught up with them in many areas. It's not surprising that we have a powerful helicopter." said the company commander.

If he had said this two years ago, he would definitely not have the confidence to do so.

After all, although the slogans were loud, any discerning person could see the gap between them and Emperor M.

However, now, the country's scientific and technological development has indeed surpassed Emperor M in some aspects.

"That's right. Our country has a great scientist like Consultant Li Mu, so it's not surprising that they can build a great helicopter." The platoon leader said with emotion.

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers all nodded in unison.

Seeing that everyone around him had stopped what they were doing, the company commander quickly said:
"Alright, alright, stop chatting, we're fighting a war."

"Pack up quickly and go to the next combat target."

"We have helicopters to help us, and so do other companies. If we get there too late, we won't even get any soup!"

After he finished speaking.

The soldiers around were startled and stopped chatting immediately, and their movements became faster.

Only Wang Baoqing was still standing there stupidly, staring blankly at the night sky.

He thought that since he had behaved so badly just now, there was a high probability that he would be beaten to death.

It was the appearance of the helicopter that saved his life.

The company commander noticed Wang Baoqing still in a daze, and walked over to let him go down and rest first.

But just as he walked behind it.

Suddenly, Wang Baoqing was heard mumbling softly:
"If, if my eldest brother and second brother also had such a powerful helicopter at that time, that would be great!"

Hearing this, the company commander paused, his raised hand hung in mid-air, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Yes, it would have been nice if there were weapons like this back then.

……

The scene that took place in Wang Baoqing's company was also happening in many other Xia troops.

Eight Xuanniao-8 general-purpose helicopters kept flying back and forth on the battlefield, using their strong mobility and firepower advantages to continuously destroy the Indian army's manpower.

In just less than three days, they broke through India's "McMahon Line" and began to advance into its territory.

Moreover, with the help of high-horsepower diesel engine military trucks, the originally difficult logistics were well guaranteed.

This allowed the soldiers to attack without any worries, and they won victory after victory, defeating the Indians.

There was even a situation where a squad chased after an Ah San company, and the latter did not dare to fight back and was eventually captured.

Some soldiers even said: "Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, they even dared to fight back against me!"

It sounds a bit outrageous.

But it’s actually very reasonable.

After all, on the battlefield, the huge roar of the Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter's propellers can be heard everywhere.

Faced with it, Asan has almost no means of counterattack.

So when I hear the sound, I just regret that my parents had not given me two more legs so that I can run faster than the other.

……

The Xia Kingdom's warriors advanced all the way.

It took only half a month to capture the capital of India in one fell swoop.

Just at this time, news came from Guba that Emperor M and Big Brother had compromised with each other and announced a settlement.

Faced with this situation.

The Xia Kingdom, which had achieved great results, was not carried away by the victory.

At the instruction of their superiors, the troops quickly began to withdraw.

Of course, although I have to leave, I will leave empty-handed.

The large amount of weapons and equipment that Emperor M and Big Brother supported India were all carried back home by the soldiers.

He also organized a fireworks show for the Indians, sending a large number of their heavy factories into the sky.

After doing all this, the troops slowly withdrew.

……

end of June.

The Xia Kingdom issued a statement announcing a ceasefire and withdrawal along the entire border.

This time.

A total of 26382 Indians were killed and 8321 were captured, making the world's "third most powerful country" terrified.

Compared with history, the time is shorter and the results are greater.

Moreover, after the ceasefire and withdrawal, the Xia Kingdom did not retreat to 20 kilometers north of the actual control line between the two sides as it did in the past.

Instead, they stationed troops near the border to rest.

The Indians were so frightened that they didn't dare to send more troops over for fear of being beaten again.

This time they were really scared.

Not only were six brigades annihilated, but even the supreme commander Dashiell, who personally went to the battlefield to supervise the battle, was captured.

The domestic industry has been devastated by the disaster and it will take at least five years to recover.

Unless Emperor M and Big Brother take action, no matter what they say, they will never have any other thoughts about Xia Country.

……

Kyoto.

The news of victory in the war was not widely publicized.

Newspapers such as People's Daily, Guangmin Daily and Xinmin Daily only mentioned the results and there was no follow-up.

It’s not that the country thinks this great victory is not worth publicizing.

But this is the current propaganda policy.

After the founding of the country, Xia's foreign wars were, in principle, no longer publicized on a large scale in order to maintain its peace-loving image.

In the end, they took the initiative to withdraw their troops, in addition to the reason that the confrontation between Emperor M and Big Brother ended.

It is also to send a signal to the international community:
"Xia country loves peace, but we have to fight because Ah San is bullying us too much."

Whether OM countries believe this or not is not the point.

Anyway, Ah San probably won’t believe it.

Peace-loving?

Which peace-loving country is so good at fighting!
Originally, he was full of confidence, carrying the weapons supported by Emperor M and Big Brother, and preparing to fight against the Xia army, which was known as the strongest army on the earth.

I didn't expect it to break when touched and kneel when hit.

In just 15 days, they reached the capital.

If the Xia army had not withdrawn on its own, they would even suspect that they would have to return to the colonial era.

……

Over here, inside the Aviation Institute.

Li Mu walked out of the laboratory.

Behind him, Huang Qianqian, Song Wencong and others followed out and prepared to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

After they talked with Li Mu.

So I decided to stay here for a while and have some good exchanges and learning.

The location was naturally chosen as the School of Aviation.

Over the past 12 days, under the leadership of Li Mu, they discussed many development issues of the J-10 and gained a lot.

Even some professors who had originally planned to go back after the exchange changed their minds and decided to stay and conduct research with Li Mu.

There is no way, the fourth-generation aircraft is just too tempting.

In Li Mu's words:

"The biggest feature of the third-generation fighter is that it has all-weather combat capability and a firing range of up to 20 kilometers."

"Faced with second-generation fighters with a firing range of only 10 kilometers, they have great initiative and can fight and retreat. The former will only agree if they fight for their lives."

"The fourth generation they are researching has higher mobility and strike capability, and can fire at a distance of hundreds of kilometers. If you can't even see them, you'll be hit, and you won't know who to look for even if you try your best."

When they heard about this kind of fighter jet, they suddenly felt that their previous research was simply disgraceful.

Therefore, almost everyone was waiting for Li Mu to speak and ask them to stay.

But at this moment, Li Mu was not so anxious.

Apart from discussing theoretical issues with Huang Qianzi, Tu Jida and others, he did not mention anything about the formal research project, which made them very anxious.

……

In the dining hall.

Huang poked Song Wencong with his hand while eating.

Among the 12 people, the latter is the youngest and most suitable to speak.

They have been in Kyoto for more than half a month now. Their respective research units have urged them to return.

If you don't say it now, you will never have another chance.

If they missed the development of the fourth-generation fighter jets, they would probably spend the rest of their lives in regret and remorse.

"Advisor Li..." Song Wencong opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Just then, a figure hurried in and said, "Advisor Li, eat quickly and follow me!"

Being interrupted by this, Song Wencong couldn't speak anymore.

"Dean Tang, what's the hurry?" Huang Qian was stunned and asked.

Li Mu, who was inhaling food violently, also raised his head and looked at Tang Yanjie curiously.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then said:

"You should know about our country and Ah San!"

"We've got news from above that the battle has been won!"

"It took us only 15 days to reach their capital, and they were so defeated that they were left in tears!"

At the end of his speech, his voice became a little louder due to excitement.

The researchers who were eating nearby also heard the news and were shocked.

They know that the country is at war with India.

They also believed that with so many brave and fearless soldiers around, they would be able to teach Asan a severe lesson.

Even though I believed it, I still couldn't help but find it unbelievable when I heard Tang Yanjie's words.

"It will take 15 days to reach the capital, President Tang, are you kidding?" Huang Qian asked with his mouth wide open.

After all, India is a village that is known as the third most powerful country in the world.

Although he had confidence in the soldiers, 15 days was indeed a bit exaggerated.

Tang Yanjie smiled and said, "I also couldn't believe it when I heard the news, but it is indeed true."

After receiving his confirmation, the eyes around him suddenly showed excitement and cheered:

"When facing invaders, we must beat them up hard and let them know how powerful we are!"

"We can only rely on fighting hard to intimidate the Emperor and Big Brother now, but can't we defeat Ah San? Let's see if they dare to provoke us again in the future!"

"With the example of Ah San, those wolves and tigers who covet our country should be more cautious!"

……

Listening to the words of the researchers around him, Tang Yanjie's eyes were filled with smiles.

As a military man, he knew only too well the importance of this battle.

Only if they win, and win beautifully, can they gain more time for development; otherwise they will most likely be dragged into the quagmire of war.

Just as he looked at Li Mushi happily and was about to say something else.

Suddenly I noticed that Li Mu was frowning.

"Hey, Consultant Li, why do you seem unhappy?" Tang Yanjie asked curiously.

After hearing his words, Huang Qianzi and others who were originally very excited calmed down and cast their gazes over.

Amid the excitement all around, Li Mu's expression of calmness yet a hint of regret was really a bit strange.

He saw that everyone was looking at him.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I thought it could be faster."

In his original idea, with the Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter and high-horsepower diesel engine military trucks, the battle against India should be more successful.

Not to mention two or three days, the time can be shortened to at least a week.

But now it seems a little too ideal, only half faster than in history.

"My dear Consultant Li, 15 days is already shocking!" Tang Yanjie said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Not only him, but Huang Qianqian and others beside him also burst into laughter.

Song Wencong couldn't help but say:
"Advisor Li, you have to know that even when Erde launched a blitzkrieg, the fastest record was only 19 days to conquer Bilishi!"

After he finished speaking.

The laughter of the crowd couldn't help but become more cheerful.

Li Mu also reacted quickly, as if he was still thinking that his expectations were too high.

Although the Indians are not very powerful, their territory is still quite large. If you want to capture the capital within a week, you must give them another ten years to develop.

"I'm not knowledgeable enough and I made a fool of myself." Li Mu said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Qianqian said:
"No, no, Counselor Li, I think you are right."

"If we can build the fourth-generation fighter you mentioned, I think it won't take 15 days, we can defeat India in a week."

"And this week, our land troops are on the move non-stop!"

His words made Tu Jida, Song Wencong and others around him nod their heads continuously.

The huge advantage of the fourth-generation fighter jets is enough to destroy all of India's air force within a day and carry out precise strikes on their military bases and other important construction units.

In this case, if a fight really breaks out.

The land army only needs to take over the places that have been bombed by the fourth-generation aircraft, and a week is more than enough.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, Consultant Li. They're waiting for you and Professor Wang Shicun to go there together." Tang Yanjie interrupted in time when he saw Li Mu and the others chatting.

He came here not just to inform Li Mu that he had defeated Asan.

In this war, the Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter and high-horsepower diesel engine played an important role.

These two factors played an indispensable role in our ability to capture the Indian capital in 15 days.

"Okay, then Professor Huang, let's talk again when we get back." Li Mu nodded to Huang Qian and others, then followed Tang Yanjie away.

Seeing this, although Huang felt a little regretful, he did not stop it.

After all, it is easy to guess that Tang Yanjie came to Li Mu with this, and there must be something else.

……

Here, after following Tang Yanjie away.

Li Mu and Wang Shicun got into the car together.

After the latter knew that he was going to attend the celebration banquet, he felt a little embarrassed and said:
"The Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter was designed entirely by consultant Li Mu. I think I'd better not go."

He is very self-aware.

Although he was nominally the leader of the entire research project, it was actually presided over by Li Mu.

Anyone can do this job, there is no credit for it.

"Professor Wang, what you said is not right. The Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter is the result of the joint efforts of all of us. If you say something like this again, I'm afraid I won't dare to talk to you about research in the future." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Shicun knew that he was joking, but he had to say, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, can't I go?"

He doesn't need any credit.

But he couldn't do without Li Mu to take him with him in research in the future.

The Xuanniao-1 helicopter is just the beginning. In the future, they will make more and more powerful aircraft!
……

The car drove from the suburbs all the way to a small courtyard with red walls and green tiles.

It was quiet outside the yard, with only two guards standing guard at the door.

Just looking from the outside, it doesn't look like a celebration party at all.

But this is also normal. After all, both the Xuanniao-1 and the high-horsepower diesel engine military truck are quite advanced things.

If Emperor M and Big Brother knew about it.

Then the developer behind the scenes will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the two companies second only to Tiangong and Hetu.

Just when Li Mu was distracted.

Wang Shicun on the side suddenly swallowed his saliva and said, "This, this is the residence of the superior leader. I am a little nervous. What should I do?"

He thought that Li Mu's celebration banquet would be of very high standard.

But I didn't expect it to be this high.

It is such an honor that the superior leader personally organizes this event!

"It's okay, we are old acquaintances. Relax a little. It's not like you haven't seen each other in photos before." Li Mu smiled and said.

Wang Shicun was speechless and said, "How can a photo be the same as a real person?"

Just as the two of them were talking.

Suddenly, there were frequent footsteps in the courtyard.

A tall and majestic figure walked out of the yard first and came forward with a smile.

Next came Qin Feng, Guo Mo, and the military leaders whom Li Mu had only seen in photos.

See this scene.

He could not help but stand there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Wang Shicun and Tang Yanjie standing by were also shocked with their mouths wide open - the superior leader personally came out to respond, what kind of treatment is this!

But when they thought that the person next to them was Li Mu, everything could be explained.

Such a scientist deserves the respect of every Xia citizen.

……

Here, the superior leader looked at Li Mu standing there for a long time and said with concern:
"Why, are you too tired from work?"

"If you are tired, go back and rest today."

"As for the celebration party, we can have it anytime. Your health is the most important thing."

After he finished speaking.

Li Mu came back to his senses and said quickly:
"No, no, I'm just too surprised. I didn't expect you and so many leaders to come out to greet me."

Hearing this, the superior leader smiled and said:
"Greeting you in person is nothing, we still feel it is not enough."

"You have made such great contributions to the country, but we cannot let the people know about your contributions."

"I don't even know what to reward you with. This can only be considered a small compensation."

At the end, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Qin Feng, Guo Mo and others behind him also showed empathy.

What reward should be given to Li Mu has always been a very headache for them.

Especially when they thought that Li Mu was only 24 years old, they had a headache.

Others may only achieve a few achievements in their lifetime, but Li Mu has already achieved many.

If all the rewards are given out now, what will we do in the future?
According to the average age, Li Mu will have to live at least another 50 or 60 years, which is worrying just thinking about it.

——I can only say that this is a happy trouble.

"Rewards are not important. If there must be one, then a strong country and happy people are the greatest reward for me!" Li Mu said in a firm voice.

The superior leader listened to Li Mu's words with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Of course, that is true.

It is absolutely not possible not to give rewards.

However, he still needs to think carefully about how to give and what to give.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Come, let me introduce these people to you." The superior leader took Li Mu's hand affectionately, and then led him to several senior generals behind him.

These ten people.

Except for Qin Feng who I already know.

Others include veteran generals such as Cheng, He, and Liu.

Another special person is Zhang Huaguo, commander of the Tubo Military Region, who was also the main commander of the self-defense counterattack against India.

As soon as he saw Li Mu.

Zhang Huaguo joyfully held his hand and said with emotion:

"Advisor Li, thank you for making so many powerful weapons for our soldiers!"

"On behalf of all the soldiers who participated in this battle, thank you for your contribution!"

"It is a blessing for our country and the people of Xia to have you!"

When other generals such as Qin Feng heard this, their eyes were also filled with smiles.
