Rebirth of the Flying Era

Jingcheng, fire equipment company.

The Jin family compound where they used to work was in a mess.

There was a row of large trucks parked on the street outside the door, and people were busy loading things into the trucks.

The campus of the University of Fire Technology is completed, and the scientific research and technical personnel who originally worked here temporarily will have to move to the office building on the new campus.

The new campus is large, and there is a separate building inside it as the research institute of the fire equipment company.

The researchers here are also very happy to relocate. Although the Jin family compound is large, it is an old-fashioned residential compound and is not suitable for offices.

As the number of scientific researchers increases, the office conditions here become more and more tense. In addition, residential buildings are planned there. When these scientific researchers move there, they can be allocated a house immediately without the need for several people to squeeze into one dormitory.

After these people leave, the vacated house will be renovated and the administrative department of the fire equipment company will continue to stay here.

At this time, in Du Fei's office, the top leaders of the subordinate factories arrived.

Director Yang of the 8270 factory, Wang Changyou of the aircraft factory, the automobile factory, the tractor factory... Du Fei had a serious expression on his face. He sat behind the desk to meet each other and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, there is only one person who has called everyone here today." The next step is to enter a wartime state with all factories working in three shifts. The machines are running at full capacity and we must push our output to the limit..."

Several people present had seen big scenes, but they were surprised when they heard Du Fei's words.

Subconsciously I thought, what's going on? Are we going to start a war with Sulian?

Fortunately, Du Fei's next explanation made them suddenly realize: "Comrades, the next few years will be our best opportunity. The world will enter a turbulent period with frequent hot spots. As long as we have the goods in hand, we will not Worry about not being able to sell, let alone the price... I don’t ask you what difficulties you have. If you have difficulties, you can figure it out yourself. I just want the output and quality. People bring money. If you can’t get something out, I’m the only one who asks.”

Among the few people present, none of them were soft persimmons, and they immediately promised to complete the task.

Du Fei nodded and looked at Wang Changyou at the aircraft factory: "Old Wang, you should slightly adjust the focus of your work and free up two workshops for me to specialize in the production of tactical missiles imitating the Scud."

Wang Changyou immediately said: "Please rest assured, as long as there are no problems with the supply of drawings and raw materials, we can switch production at any time."

Du Fei said "hmm". He was not worried about this. The aircraft manufacturer took into account the production of missiles when necessary from the beginning.

Then he looked at Factory Director Yang: "Old Yang, your task here is also very heavy. I have to fill up the production of artillery shells and rockets. These are all consumables, and then there are rocket launchers, and anti-aircraft missiles..."

Lao Yang was also unambiguous. Ever since the establishment of the aircraft manufacturer, Factory 8270, who was originally his biological son, clearly felt that he was gradually falling out of favor.

Finally seizing the opportunity this time is the strength of 8270 Factory, and we must not let it slip.

Du Fei then told Director Zhang of the tractor factory: "Old Zhang, your task is also very important. Our new third-generation fire tank must be put into production as soon as possible."

The so-called third-generation fire tank is actually an improved version of the previous welded turret T-62.

The most important one is to introduce the tank control system obtained from America, and strive to change the tank control method from a pull rod to a steering wheel.

The other is to use the 105mm tank gun produced by domestic gun steel produced by Anyang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.

Although there is still a slight gap in parameters between this kind of gun steel and the world's most advanced level, it is sufficient for practical application.

Finally, there is the automobile factory in Xingtai.

After several years of development, the scale of the automobile factory has also expanded. Today, the number of front-line workers exceeds 8,000, and the annual output is 100,000 vehicles of various types.

Don't underestimate these 100,000 vehicles. Among these 100,000 vehicles, cars and off-road vehicles are only a small part. The real majority are heavy trucks and large eight-wheeled armored vehicles.

In particular, armored vehicles, under Du Fei's instructions and designed by Vasily himself, developed a modular design on the basis of eight wheels, and derived six and four wheels, which can carry anti-aircraft missiles, light and heavy turrets, and spread mines. Surprise investigation...car owners of various models.

After meeting with these people, Du Fei met alone with the representatives of the Bao family in the capital.

In addition to supply of goods, transportation is also very important this time.

Although Du Fei has hundreds of Y-8 transport aircraft at his disposal, and can mobilize nearly twenty Y-9 large transport aircraft at any time, only a few high-value weapons can be transported by aircraft, except in special emergencies, and the rest are large Equipment still needs to be transported using cargo ships.

While Du Fei was making intensive preparations, the war between Babylon and Persia finally broke out!

With the support of America, Sadamu successfully took over the supreme power of Babylon, and then used the ownership of the Alabai River and several small islands in the Persian Gulf as an excuse to launch a large-scale attack on Persia...

A few hours after the war broke out, Du Fei got the telegram sent back from Bagoda.

Then I received a call from Dad Zhu and drove over immediately.

Entering the office, Dad Zhu looked up at him and said calmly: "Did you receive the news?"

Du Fei responded: "I just got the telegram."

Dad Zhu said: "This Sa Damu is quite courageous. He attacked with an army of hundreds of thousands, and the Persians were defeated day by day. Based on your understanding of them, how will this battle develop in the future?"

Du Fei took a cigarette handed over by Zhu's father and said: "Sa Damu is a man, firm-willed and ruthless. He has a life-threatening ruthlessness at critical moments. But he has no orthodox military experience and is not a qualified general... "

Dad Zhu raised his eyebrows: "You said he doesn't know how to fight?"

Du Fei said: "That's what I mean. According to my observation, although the Babylonian army is well-equipped and spent a lot of money to buy advanced weapons, it is still essentially an old-style army, and its combat effectiveness is only at the level of our old warlords. There are also internal factional struggles. Serious. Of course, Persia is not much better, and it has just gone through turmoil, people are panicked, and they are not interested in fighting. They should not be Babylon's opponent in the early stage."

Having said this, Du Fei shook his head slightly: "It's a pity... If Sa Damu himself, or had a qualified military commander under his command, it would not be hopeless to win in a single battle. But since the fall of the Ottomans, the entire Middle East and North Africa has never been the same." When a character like this appears, it seems like they won’t be able to fight anymore.”

Dad Zhu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Du Fei to make such an arbitrary argument.

But then again, it seems right if you think about it carefully.

"Do you think Persia will win the final victory?" Dad Zhu asked.

Du Fei said: "Dad, I think this war is destined to have no winner from the beginning. Because this is not a separate war, but a subsidiary war of Sulian's invasion of Afhan. America In order to prevent New Persia from falling to Mosco, it is necessary to support Babylon in attacking Persia from behind. If the war in Afhan does not end in one day, Babylon and Persia will not be able to decide the winner. Once Sa Damu shows signs of decline, America will step up assistance. "

Dad Zhu nodded silently, Du Fei's analysis of the situation was still so penetrating.

Du Fei continued: "So, I judge that this will be a protracted war, and it will not end until both sides are exhausted."

…

Sure enough, the progress of the war was similar to Du Fei's prediction. After the initial disadvantage, Persia withstood the attack. Although it suffered huge losses, it successfully broke Sa Damu's illusion of a quick victory.

After more than two months of strangulation, both sides suffered heavy losses, especially the tank battle that broke out near Bostan.

Babylon dispatched the T-62 and T-54 previously purchased from SULIN, as well as a small number of firefighting No. 1 tanks, totaling more than 300 vehicles.

Persia dispatched the Chieftain tanks purchased from Yingguo and America's M60 tanks, and the number exceeded 250 taels.

The tanks of both sides were strangled together in the desert next door. In the fierce battle for several hours, more than 200 tanks were lost in total.

In the end, Persia relied on its bravery and air superiority to recapture the important town of Bostan in the northwest, and then circled south and penetrated into Babylon.

Although it was eventually blocked by the Babylonian follow-up troops, it changed the previous situation of being passively beaten on the northern front.

The war between the two sides has officially entered a stalemate stage of attrition.

The old saying goes, once a cannon goes off, a thousand taels of gold are worth it, and it’s not true at all.

The war had only begun for more than two months, and both sides had consumed a large amount of weapons, equipment and ammunition. Compared with the less than one billion U.S. dollars of equipment purchased by Du Fei before the war, it was a drop in the bucket.

Unfortunately, neither side has a complete industrial system, so they can only purchase equipment from outside the country if they want to supplement it.

As expected, Dufy soon met guests from Babylon.

"Majid, my friend, I'm glad you're here." Du Fei personally went to the airport to greet the 'wealth boy' who came to the door.

Majid hugged Du Fei and said straight to the point: "Du, I'm here to ask for your help..."

Du Fei patted him on the back, indicating that he understood what he meant, but did not express his position clearly.

There was a flash of disappointment in Majid's eyes, but he quickly covered it up and followed Du Fei into the car.

In the back seat of the car, Du Fei had already prepared a beautifully printed album and handed it directly to Majid.

Here are all the equipment and price items that fire equipment companies can provide.

Majid was stunned. He didn't expect Du Fei to be so well prepared, as if he were ordering food at a restaurant.

He didn't waste any time and immediately looked through it, frowning slightly.

It's not because of anything else, it's mainly because the price marked on it... is really a bit expensive.

But there's no other way. In this situation, it doesn't seem to matter how much money there is. What's important is that it can be bought back to suppress those damn Persians.

Majid took a deep breath to prepare himself mentally before coming.

Especially when he turned to the end of the album, his eyes lit up when he saw that photo, and he lost all emotion.

It was a replica of a Scud missile, but the annotation below said it had a range of 300-1,000 kilometers.

What's happening here? You must know that the tactical missiles they purchased before had a range of less than 300 kilometers.

These are all nominal. In actual use, don’t expect accuracy when driving for more than 200 kilometers.

Du Fei, what does 300-1000 mean here?

Du Fei looked on with a smile from the side, waiting for now.

As for what it means, there’s no need to ask, just add money~

Majid stayed in Beijing for a total of five days and finally signed a contract worth a total of US$3.5 billion.

Needless to say, Babylon is really wealthy now.

At the beginning of the war, foreign exchange reserves were nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars, and they spent money lavishly.

Du Fei knew that Sa Damu could never have imagined that this war would last seven or eight years.

Not only did he lose all his wealth, but he also owed tens of billions of dollars.

According to the contract, the US$3.5 billion equipment will be delivered in batches within the next three months.

After Majid left, people from Persia also came.

Compared with the more relaxed environment in Babylon, the situation in Persia was more difficult.

Because of the overthrow of the Barrie dynasty and the rejection of America's olive branch, New Persia was boycotted by the entire West.

On the other hand, in order to avoid becoming a vassal, Tehran also did not turn to Moscow.

In this regard, it must be admitted that Khomeini has a long-term vision. Although their fate has the support of Sulian, Mosco's purpose is to open up the channel between India and Duyang.

This will inevitably harm Persian interests.

Therefore, fundamentally Tehran does not want Moscow to expand in Central Asia.

Under such circumstances, Persia could not become an ally of the Soviet Union, making them far more isolated and helpless than Babylon.

Weapons can only be obtained through some more complicated channels.

In comparison, those channels are far less reliable and convenient than going directly to Du Fei.

In the world before Dufy's time travel, Persia was in great embarrassment in the early stages of the war and could only obtain weapons supplies at high prices using Syria as a springboard.

Sadam discovered this situation and directly sent planes to blow up a large number of oil depots in an attempt to cut off Persia's oil exports.

Now, in order to ensure the supply of flowers and fruits, Tent Sangja personally came forward, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

Just a few days later, Du Fei came to Beijing Airport again and watched a K-8 passenger plane land.

This was the aircraft purchased from Du Fei during the Ba Lie period. This time when I came to Zhanjia, I specifically gave up the jet airliner and chose the aircraft made by Huaguo just to gain a little more intimacy.

Logically speaking, Du Fei was not qualified to pick him up due to his status as the tenter Sangga.

However, Huaguo currently does not want to be involved openly. The equipment exported to Persia and Babylon are purely commercial activities. Du Fei represents the fire equipment company and it is most appropriate to contact both parties directly.

"Mr. Stenter Sanga, welcome to your arrival." Du Fei watched the middle-aged man in a robe get off the plane and warmly greeted him and shook hands.

"Mr. Du, I am honored to come to the great ancient Eastern country." Zhanjia Sangjia was polite. After some greetings, he got into the car and soon saw a book that was exactly the same as what Majid had seen a few days ago. picture album.

The only difference is that the replica Scud missiles have been removed.

And this is not discrimination, but rather out of respect for Persia as a big and ancient country.

You don't have to worry about spreading missiles. Now Babylon only has oil.

If you give it to Persia, you have to worry about it being manufactured one day. Persia still has some industrial and scientific research foundations.
