50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 845 The Aura of Being Number One Under Heaven

Cam Ranh Bay, the monkey airfield sandwiched between a civilian airport and a Russian airport, suddenly saw over a hundred MiG-21s and S-22s parked on the tarmac explode.

Although each explosion was not very powerful, the sheer number of them was enormous, and the continuous explosions terrified everyone at the airport.

At the same time, the nearby civilian airport and the Russian airport also discovered the situation here.

The civilian airport is in a bit of a mess, but it hasn't stopped operating; they're just waiting for news.

The Russian military airport, however, was very disciplined, and the entire airport immediately went on alert after the situation was discovered.

Two of the latest S-27 aircraft, which are on 24-hour standby, were scrambled five minutes after the alarm sounded.

However, it turned out to be a false alarm. Sun Zhiwei only targeted the monkey's plane and did not cause any damage to the bear's side.

Everyone knows that the situation in the Russian family is not good at this time, but the more this is the case, the more careful we must be, lest they become desperate and do something rash. Even though Sun Zhiwei has a cheat code, he does not intend to provoke them openly.

The statement that the Russians were in a bad situation refers to their poor economic conditions, not that their guns and cannons were ineffective or their combat capabilities were lacking. Those millions of troops were not just for show.

It can be said with certainty that even during the most difficult times for the Russians, America did not dare to directly attack the Russian army.

The fact that the politicians at the top are backing down doesn't mean that the lower-level soldiers will back down. Sun Zhiwei once discussed this issue with his personal captain, Ivan.

Ivan, holding up the bottle, said, "My gear may not be as good as America's, but I'm never afraid to die with her."

"When the crucial moment comes, just shout 'Hurrah!' and charge forward with everyone else."

After saying that, he raised the bottle again and took a big gulp.

Upon hearing this, all Sun Zhiwei could think of was the scene in the movie "Enemy at the Gates" where the protagonist charged into battle.

Actually, upon closer reflection, this isn't surprising. Since World War II, the Soviet Union has consistently been the one dominating and beating up the West.

Therefore, the current Russian troops mostly possess a fearless and indomitable spirit.

That's the kind of "I'm number one in the world" aura that can only be cultivated by someone who has been in a dominant position for a long time.

Over the years, there have been numerous instances of Russian soldiers colliding with American military equipment in their fighter jets, submarines, and warships, precisely because of this.

When the Russian soldiers confronted the Western soldiers, they first gained the psychological advantage over their opponents.

Putting aside the chaos in Cam Ranh Bay, Sun Zhiwei's trip to Annam effectively crippled the main military force in Natuna that could threaten Natuna, and the security situation in Natuna will no longer be a problem in the short term.

He returned to Hong Kong Island on Gulfstream 3 this time, but instead of staying on Hong Kong Island, he went directly through customs and took a domestic flight back to Beijing.

Xu Yimin was also a little stunned when he received his telegram. He didn't know why Sun Zhiwei was going to target Annam again, but he brought back 120 fighter jets, which was a real capture.

The news was quickly reported, and a few days later, Bao Chuanwang's cargo ship entered Yangcheng Port and unloaded the 150 containers.

That same evening, 150 trucks entered the container terminal and transported the containers away.

At this time, Sun Zhiwei had already returned to Beijing and met with Xu Yimin.

Sun Zhiwei gave a detailed report on his progress in the Greater Natuna Islands, and then submitted an application to purchase warships in the name of Natuna Island.

The Type 051 corvettes have already entered mass production, but funding remains a problem for the entire navy's modernization efforts. Xu Yimin is pleased that Sun Zhiwei has suddenly decided to purchase Type 051 corvettes.

Because he was well aware that the Type 051 was a major step forward for us, but the first-generation Type 051 prototype was not very technologically advanced.

It's certainly a good thing if we can sell them; weapons and equipment, especially large weapons and equipment, are very profitable.

But Sun Zhiwei had conditions; he wanted to buy the boat and the people together.

Although he is currently supporting Natuna, he cannot continue to manage them indefinitely.

In particular, the defense of the Natuna Islands currently consumes almost all of Pinkerton's Asian division's combat power.

This won't do. Natuna isn't his private country. Natuna must be able to build its own defense system.

Furthermore, it needs to be successfully integrated into the national coastal defense system in the future, but it is clear that Da Na Thuna itself does not have the capability to do so, whether in terms of financial or human resources.

Now, Sun Zhiwei's idea is to have his family secretly send someone over to take over.

What does it mean to buy both the people and the ship? It means that once the warships are purchased, the soldiers on board will simply change their uniforms and become part of the navy of Natuna.

Two units with one team, isn't that great? It saves us from having to reorganize everything when we take over the land later.

But this involves future national strategy, which is something that must be discussed and decided at a meeting.

However, Sun Zhiwei believed that the higher-ups would eventually agree.
This is equivalent to Sun Zhiwei paying for his family's army. In any case, the command is ultimately still at home, so there's no need to worry about Natuna causing trouble.

As for the risks involved, those are all diplomatic issues; we'll just have to deal with that when the time comes.

When it comes to verbal skills, the Diplomatic Building is full of elites, and we've never been afraid of anyone. Even the old man guarding the door can chat with foreigners for two hours.

In short, Sun Zhiwei was aware of the difficulty of this matter, and he was not prepared to receive permission immediately.

Sun Zhiwei had already written and submitted an analysis report on the importance of the location of Da Natuna and its subsequent plans.

His goals and plans are clear. The purchase of ships is actually expected and should be part of domestic support. Only when the Natuna region has secured its homeland can we talk about the future.

His return this time was actually to pave the way for his family to start discussing things now, but this would take time, and he didn't plan to stay at home waiting for news.

After resting for two days, he took an international flight from the airport to Northern Europe.

His first destination was Norway, where the sunken ship "Komsomolskaya Pravda" awaited him on the seabed of the Arctic Ocean.

This submarine is probably the easiest of the four titanium alloy submarines he has his eye on to acquire.

More than half a year has passed since the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" shipwrecked, and now the northern waters of Norway have entered the ice season again.

Even small boats can't get through there anymore, and there's no one guarding the area. He just needs to go over once, and he can just take it and leave.

There are no direct flights from Beijing to Oslo, Norway; he needs to transfer in Moscow to reach his destination.
