Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Old Sa was aware of Wang Yaotang's simulations in China, though it's unclear whose idea it was. It was a refined version with many practical techniques, such as how to evade helicopter night vision devices at night…

Although high-end equipment like radar stations were built by France and cannot be moved, it doesn't mean that nothing can be done.

With the ultimatum deadline fast approaching, Saddam Hussein repeatedly warned his men that war was imminent. At this point, it didn't matter which faction they belonged to; American bullets didn't discriminate, and anyone hit would be dead.

Not long after the Apache helicopters were dispatched, they received a partial distress signal...

Many people were there to witness the heroic bearing of the American soldiers. The Americans' purpose was to demonstrate their military might, but they ended up making a huge mistake.

Wang Yaotang's face was full of 'surprise' as he looked Norman Schwarzkopf up and down with 'astonishment'. Norman Schwarzkopf felt as if ants were crawling all over him, making him extremely uncomfortable. However, he couldn't lose his composure as a four-star general and had to maintain his dignity.

Flying at low altitudes can avoid radar, but not human eyes. They were ambushed and subjected to a saturation attack. Three of the six Apaches were destroyed on the spot, and the remaining three hurriedly climbed up before launching a fierce retaliation.

Once they emerged from the pit, they couldn't escape the infrared night vision devices; under the cover of hellfire, they were all wiped out within minutes.

Despite the discovery, the night raid still had to proceed. The main defense against radar was at ultra-low altitude. It's unclear whether Old Saddam was incompetent or if the execution below was inadequate. Although there were some setbacks, both radar stations were still destroyed, which was regrettable.

Of the three Apache helicopters, only one returned.

One was shot down on the spot, and the other made an emergency landing halfway through the journey.

Wang Yaotang raised an eyebrow and glanced to the side, his eyes meeting those of the security guard.

Surely we can't all take these five pieces of junk back? Camel is the landlord, after all. With Wang Yaotang's influence, can't we at least take some of the junk back?

Wang Yaotang believes it is highly likely.

Despite some stumbles and setbacks, the task was still completed within the allotted time. Norman Schwarzkopf maintained a calm and collected expression on his face, but inwardly he was cursing furiously.

The second wave of attacks was launched simultaneously, with the F-117 making a solo run!

In fact, the US has two combat plans. Plan two is to safely use Tomahawk missiles, including the air defense command center 30 meters underground, to knock it out directly with ballistic missiles!

But the objective of this operation is to send America's strongest message to the world, so of course these most advanced weapons will be on display.

Wang Yaotang was expecting a 'surprise,' but what came back was the news that the mission had been successfully completed, which greatly surprised him.

Was it the old Satella, or the F-117 that was so amazing?

Could it be that Old Sa deliberately didn't release this detail, but instead added it on purpose?
After the F-117, a group of people went out from the command post and looked up at the sky, wildly waving their Tomahawk missiles.

The Tomahawk is a long-range subsonic cruise missile. In the night sky, you can clearly see the trajectory of the missile's exhaust plume, just like watching a giant firework, whizzing by and around. It's impossible to count how many have been launched in a short time.

The Tomahawk uses a composite guidance system, combining inertial navigation, GPS navigation, terrain matching, and digital image matching, resulting in extremely high accuracy. Its circular error probability can be controlled within 10 meters. If Saddam Hussein hadn't relocated facilities such as the command post, radar station, communications building, and power plant, he would have been almost certainly wiped out.

As for aerial interception...

Old Sa tried very hard, but the success rate was really low. The SAM-6 air defense missile was designed for aircraft and was somewhat unprofessional in intercepting missiles.

Having obtained the simulation data, Saddam Hussein launched a very resolute counterattack, as only by withstanding the first wave could he hope to delay the advance of the US military.

Immediately, 20 Hussein missiles, also known as Scud missiles, were launched.

The Scud is a typical ballistic missile.

Ballistic missiles: The vast majority of their flight distance is completed above the atmosphere, with terminal speeds reaching Mach 10. They are guided by inertia, have fixed trajectories, and have low accuracy.

Cruise missiles fly entirely within the atmosphere, relatively close to the ground, powered by turbofan engines throughout their flight, are subsonic, employ composite guidance, and have high precision.

As soon as the Scud missile took off, a piercing alarm sounded at the US military base, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

Although the Scud missile only has a range of 200 kilometers, its accuracy is too low...

Although it didn't undergo Brownian motion like Indian missiles, it still made people nervous.

After all, only the United States has publicized the success of its interception tests, but there have been no successful cases in actual combat.

Norman Schwarzkopf appeared quite calm, whether he was faking it or not, Wang Yaotang couldn't tell anything from him.

Norman described the Patriot missiles deployed by the United States, gesturing and boasting.

Wang Yaotang didn't really remember what the interception efficiency of this thing was, but it was indeed successfully intercepted during the Gulf War.

That's really impressive.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere in the command center suddenly became tense when the Scud re-entered the atmosphere.

The Patriot missiles are all ready here, so there's no need to ask for permission to launch this one. The missiles are going too fast after re-entering the atmosphere; by the time we needed permission, they would have already hit us.

A large number of Patriot missiles took off over here with a whoosh, and this time no one went out to watch the excitement.

For several minutes, no one spoke in the command center, until the person reporting shouted with a look of joy, "A total of 28 Patriot missiles were launched, and 14 missiles were successfully intercepted!"

Wow! Wang Yaotang was startled. Really?

The security guards nearby were also startled, and their brows furrowed involuntarily.

Prince Suer also found it hard to believe; were the Americans really that strong?

Both the Scud and Dongfeng-3 are ballistic missiles with the same terminal velocity and guidance method. Doesn't that mean that the 60 Camel missiles pose a limited threat to the US military?

Wang Yaotang noticed his worry and leaned closer to whisper, "It might not be true."

Prince Suer shook his head, indicating that since the United States had already said so, how could it be false?

People at that time really had a biased view of the United States, completely different from Wang Yaotang, who knew all too well about the US's data fabrication.

Seeing this, he didn't argue. He figured they could verify it by searching the fragments later. Anyway, he wouldn't believe it 70% of the time, since intercepting ballistic missiles would still be a global challenge 30 years from now.

Of course, it's true that the Americans 30 years from now won't be able to beat the Americans of today...

Following the Gulf War, official US military data initially claimed an 80% success rate for intercepting camels, with a 50% success rate for intercepting sergeants. This was later revised to a 70% success rate for camels, with a 40% success rate for sergeants, for a total of approximately 52%.

MIT later concluded that the actual hit rate was less than 10%, possibly only 9%.

The Turkish military estimates the success rate at only 2%.

A US congressional survey indicates that only 9% of respondents believe this figure is correct.

The Hussein missile's manufacturing technology is questionable. Due to its high speed upon re-entry into the atmosphere, the warhead is prone to disintegrating mid-air. The US military's calculation method considers it a successful interception as long as the impact point is outside the predetermined range...

Americans are also professional fraudsters.

After fighting all night, Prince Suer handed over the observation task to his advisor and went back to rest early. Wang Yaotang wouldn't have wanted to watch either if it weren't for accompanying the 'security guards'; it was really not interesting.

Iraq was largely unable to retaliate against the Tomahawk strikes. Starting the next day, air strikes began, with planes taking off to bomb relentlessly. Saddam Hussein knew everything, but it was completely useless. His radar was filled with static due to electronic jamming aircraft, and he could only watch helplessly as his important facilities were reduced to ruins in the bombing.

Just desperate.

On the afternoon of the third day, after completely occupying the airspace, the US military delivered a left hook, while Saddam Hussein deployed heavy troops on the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border. As for the outcome...

The US military went from being completely unscathed to suffering severe injuries, and then that was the end of it.

This battle largely achieved America's expectations and firmly established its hegemonic status for the next 30 years.

The Chinese and Lao people were even more shocked than in the original history.

The reason for passing the deduction results to Lao Sa was to use Lao Sa's hands to verify them.

From the perspective of the Chinese, the current Saddam Hussein's 5600 tanks and 3800 cannons, regardless of the facts, are not weaker than the Chinese on paper. Yet, even with their superior equipment on the table, they are still powerless to resist, which is indeed somewhat disheartening. Of course, there are some advantages as well. They have recognized the importance of the 'electronics' industry earlier than before and have a clearer understanding of the gap between the two sides.

Unable to participate in the Iraq War, Wang Yaotang focused his attention on the damaged equipment of the US military, which the US military would salvage, but not very thoroughly.

The US military is responsible for charging into battle, while the task of cleaning up the battlefield is naturally left to auxiliary troops, such as camels.

Umbrella also entered the battlefield with the Camel soldiers, secretly sending back some Apache, M1A1, and M2 wreckage. As for the most desired F16... zero casualties.

Wang Yaotang returned to Hong Kong at the end of January to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

As for the cooperation on camels, there won't be any significant results in the next three to five years. The only thing he needs to pay a little attention to is the port to be jointly built, but construction will have to wait until after the US troops withdraw.

After the New Year, Wang Yaotang shifted his attention back to the Bangkok Khlong Thames area.

The demolition near the port has been completed, and the Fourth Harbor Engineering Company has started the expansion of the Chao Phraya River port. Many issues require Wang Yaotang to be present and oversee the project.

We've done projects abroad before, but they were all support projects. This is our first time working on a commercial project. As a state-owned enterprise, we're very concerned about the country's image, and without government intervention, it's inevitable that we'll feel constrained when doing things abroad.

Robbery, honey trap, fraud, staged accidents, kidnapping... the only result is calling the police.

If calling the police could solve everything, there wouldn't be any gangs.

Even if the Bangkok police chief is himself, it doesn't matter; the cases still have to be handled by the police officers below him.

Wang Yaotang only learned about this when the project's progress was affected. As an outsider, he had no say in the affairs of state-owned enterprises. All he could do was have Sheng Yi Siam branch issue a kill order.

The entire 4000 members of the Bangkok branch launched a massive raid.

Regardless of whether they had been involved or not, including those from the two nearby districts, even those who were only petty thieves were dragged out and severely beaten in the street.

In three days, more than 2000 people were injured in the streets, and more than 60 people were killed on the spot.

That's how we at Sheng Yi do things!
Public order was restored!
In a short period of time, the personal qualities of the residents in Kongti District have suddenly risen to an astonishing level, achieving the accomplishment of "doors left unlocked at night"!
Criminals either hide at home or end up in hospitals, so of course the security situation is better.

After the leaders of the Fourth Harbor Engineering Bureau learned about the client's solution, things became very complicated.

……

I was in Bangkok when a phone call came in.

"Our fleet has been hijacked?" Wang Yaotang took the phone away and looked at it, wondering if he had misheard. "How could that be!"

"They went missing shortly after leaving Vladivostok," the bespectacled man said in a deep voice.

"Huh? No, Vladivostok? The territory of the Russian Pacific Fleet? Who the hell is so powerful?"

"Sergei said it was most likely the Japanese who did it. Previously, the Pacific Fleet sold refined oil to the Japanese, but now they are selling it to us. The trading parties have changed, and the Sergei family and its faction have replaced the original stakeholders. Some people have suffered losses."

"Fuck your mother!" Wang Yaotang exploded upon hearing this!

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. This applies not only to Wang Yaotang, but also to the Russians and their self-defense forces who are involved in smuggling.

"What did those Russians say?" Wang Yaotang asked in a deep voice.

"There's no explanation. Delivery isn't included in the transaction, so they can't and won't do anything about it."

Wang Yaotang chuckled, "No problem!"

Fiddled with the globe beside him, Wang Yaotang frowned deeply. His fleet couldn't get through...

The Korean Strait is surrounded by US forces on both sides. If our fleet dares to show up, it will be taken down immediately.

That's why the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were so fearless!
The Russians don't care, but your Sergei family can't ignore it. If the fleet can't get there, then rebuild a fleet in the Far East.

After making some arrangements, Wang Yaotang chartered two planes and took 400 people directly to Vladivostok.

"How does Comrade Yaotang want to resolve this?" Old Sergei asked.

"Unlimited counterattacks!" Wang Yaotang said in a deep voice.

How to retaliate?

"Form a fleet!"

"Can your fleet get here?"

"No, that's why I'm looking for you."

"The Pacific Fleet will absolutely not participate!" Old Sergei shook his head.

Wang Yaotang waved his hand, and ten people stepped out from behind him. They opened their briefcases and poured them onto the ground, instantly creating a green mountain of money.

Pointing at Qian Shan, Wang Yaotang asked again, "Can this be resolved?"

"You, I, oh dear, really... how do you plan to resolve this?" Old Sergei's expression shifted from serious to shocked, then from righteous to greedy, and finally to one of shared hatred.

It's so much fun!

"Wireless Counterattack!"

How to retaliate?

"Form a fleet!"

"Great idea!" Old Sergei clapped his hands loudly.

"Poison Spider Type 3".

Old Sergei frowned deeply, looking at the money on the ground, then at Wang Yaotang, weighing his options repeatedly. Finally, he made a firm decision and stamped his foot, "That's not some kind of Poison Spider Type 3, it's your latest 0 frigate!"

Wang Yaotang laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, I misspoke. It was clearly our protectors' 0, 3, and 7 who bypassed the Strait of Tartary to enter the Sea of ​​Japan."

0⑶⒎ The missile frigate, in terms of displacement, shape, missile launcher layout, and guns, is not exactly the same as the Tarantula 1; it can only be described as having a different parentage...

The Venom Spider 3 has been completely upgraded.

The missile was upgraded from the subsonic Styx with a range of 80 kilometers to the 3M-80 'Moskit' semi-armor-piercing high-explosive anti-ship missile with a range of 120 kilometers, a Mach 2.5 supersonic speed, active irregular change of direction at the terminal stage, inertial and active-passive composite radar guidance, and strong anti-jamming capabilities.

It is equipped with a 76mm naval gun, two AK-630M 30mm six-barreled Gatling close-in weapon systems, and SA-N-5 'cup and plate' short-range air defense missiles.

Its top speed is an astonishing 42 knots, earning it the nickname "mini frigate"!
Smearing off the ship's number and the markings on the missiles to disguise it as 0⑶⒎ is not a big problem.

If things escalate and Moscow investigates, we can simply return the warship; it doesn't matter.

With less than eight months until the great empire collapses, Gotu has no time to concern himself with Far Eastern affairs.

The original stakeholders of the Pacific Fleet, who allowed you to collude with Japan back then, can now sell warships to new partners in the same way; it's an unspoken agreement.

As for the leak, Wang Yaotang couldn't possibly take the Poison Spider away. To the south, the US military was blockading the Korean Strait, and to the north, the Pacific Fleet was blockading the Strait of Tartary. Even if he sold the warship, he would only be stuck in the Sea of ​​Japan, like a bathtub.

Wang Yaotang wasn't in a hurry. He could wait a few months and then break through the first island chain together with the other ships he had purchased.

Of course, a single Venom Spider 3 could not operate independently; the search area was severely insufficient, and it was not worth the high price of $1000 million. The Pacific Fleet also needed to provide Wang Yaotang with some other ships.

At the same time, they mobilized three Y-12 transport aircraft to bypass their hometown and reach the guerrilla town. With coordinated air and sea operations, they were determined to teach the Japanese a lesson! (End of Chapter)
