The Goddess Shines on America

After a long time since the start of the war, Alice, who had been staying in Washington after an encounter, once again attracted the attention of many generals. Just when the Lone Wolf Three School Team and the Skyhawk II returned to the base after dumping all their ammunition, she sat down with three army generals in an office in the Pentagon.

"I don't know who the three of you are?"

It was only ten minutes before and after, and Alice was still not sure what they meant.

The leading general pondered for a while, and said: "Today's operation is the first time Miss Wang's troops have taken action. Although we can all see, the main credit is due to the AC-130 that arrived last. , but the battles of the ground troops have also been seen by us."

Alice rolled her eyes silently, and she saw the general saying: "We all saw that the situation at that time was that the ground squad named Alpha One first encountered enemy attacks on the Gobi. , after annihilating the enemy army, you quickly got rid of the full speed of that armored unit. Although your three Apache helicopters played a lot of roles in this process, we also took the performance of that armored vehicle You can see it."

It turned out that such a big circle was made to express this meaning. The U.S. Army is currently using the M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle as the mainstream. It began to equip troops in 1983, and its performance is naturally very good, but it is still much worse than the one Alice designed for her own people. No wonder. These soldiers will be jealous.

She smiled modestly: "The Grizzly is an armored vehicle designed and produced by our own side. If the Ministry of the Army likes it, we are of course willing to provide the product. But at present, this kind of armored vehicle is only an umbrella for self-production and use, so if the Ministry of the Army wants to adopt it on a large scale , I still have to expand my productivity, which requires an advance amount.”

The three generals all laughed, as long as they knew the meaning, one of the lieutenant generals said: "As long as the performance is excellent, everything will not be a problem. That armored vehicle is called a Grizzly, right? Its mobility on the Gobi is simply amazing. It is amazing, and its firepower is not to be underestimated. Ms. Wang, can you give us a detailed introduction?"

Since private armed forces participated in the war, the dispatched missions were relatively independent. No matter where the war zone was, the people here in Washington might not have the energy to understand it in such detail. It was remarkable that Alice provided her unit with so many Apaches and a company of Barretts. But for mere armored vehicles, it is enough to know that they are armored vehicles, and then ask people to learn more about their performance, the Ministry of the Army is not so free.

But today they see performance through satellites, but they can't help but don't care.

"The Grizzly is an eight-wheel-drive armored vehicle that can carry two drivers and a squad of nine soldiers. It weighs about 19 tons, has a maximum speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, and a combat distance of about 500 kilometers. It can carry out urban and rural operations, and is especially good at For urban combat, because it is equipped with a Caterpillar diesel engine with a maximum power of 257 kilowatts, and adopts an MD3066P automatic transmission and a semi-active hydro-pneumatic suspension, it can easily cross a two-meter-wide trench and climb up a 30-degree slope. "

"It uses special bulletproof tires with excellent bulletproof and lightning protection performance. The tire pressure central adjustment system can adjust the tire pressure according to the road conditions. Our actual measurement at the Heishui base shows that it has good driving performance on soft and hard ground, and can even run at 96 km/h speed, smooth driving on muddy and rough roads."

"In terms of weapons, it's not the old-fashioned kind of soldiers coming out of the front of the car to shoot guns. The remote-controlled launch weapon system installed with a full computer system can simultaneously command a 7.62mm caliber machine gun for self-defense, and two anti-aircraft weapons equipped with automatic wait-and-see and tracking devices. The tank missile weapon tower, its ceramic armor can also resist any ammunition attack with a size below 14.5mm."

"The above is the general data of the grizzly bear you saw today. Since it is also a new product, we only have this model now, and the fire support type is under intensive development. Among the new models of this tank, we The anti-tank weapon tower will be removed and a 105-caliber gun with eighteen rounds will be installed."

Say everything you need to say cleanly, and then just wait for the other person to respond.

Thinking takes time. The purchase of a new type of armored vehicle is not something that can be decided by just three people. Alice is not surprised that she didn't get a positive answer immediately. Anyway, she knows that she can definitely make a fortune.

The design of the Umbrella Grizzly armored vehicle is derived from the Stryker wheeled armor that the U.S. military only installed around 2000. Since it is a product that will be favored by the same group of people, if it is proposed earlier now, it will naturally be more advanced. popular. After all, compared with the M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle currently used by the Army, this model has excellent performance, and it is definitely far behind the opponent by many streets.

At least, the remote-controlled launch weapon system alone is enough to make this group of soldiers envious. It would be fine in 2000. For the current arms dealers, even if they are asked to develop new tanks immediately, they may not think of this new auxiliary system on the spot. Because unlike the research and development of new aircraft, armored vehicles are more concerned with practicality and low cost. Such high-tech equipment directly linked to informatization is too much a test for designers to keep pace with the times.

Let the soldiers discuss on their own, and Alice just provides information. Based on the car shell, it can have multiple functions as long as it is slightly modified, which is a major feature of armored vehicles. Three-defense reconnaissance vehicles, anti-tank guided missile vehicles, medical ambulances, mortar vehicles, engineering vehicles, armored personnel carriers, command vehicles and fire support vehicles, with just a word from the general, she can easily put these improved basic data All explained.

Of course, ordering a new type of armored vehicle is just an episode at this moment, whether it is for Alice or the people in the Ministry of War. The war is going on, and now is the time to fight fiercely. Let's talk about orders later, let's focus on the live situation in the bay first.

Ground operations can be viewed in two strands. One is the special task force, whose task is to conduct fire reconnaissance on the frontline troops of the Iraqi army and seize some Iraqi outposts. It was on the basis of these adequate preparations that the ground offensive of the US and multinational forces proceeded smoothly in three stages: breaking through the defense line, in-depth operations, and encirclement and annihilation.

Alice alone took on half of this work. Thirty Apaches, dozens of Black Hawks and Chinooks, the newly arrived AC-130 and a total of 3,000 main combat soldiers and armored vehicles. It won't be too hard.

Then there is the main attacking force. From the first day on the 24th, the East Route Army, composed of two divisions of the US Marine Corps and the United Arab Forces, took the lead in breaking through the Iraqi defense line in multiple ways on the Kosha border, and pointed directly at Kuwait City. The city is encircled.

At the same time, the West Route Army, composed of ten divisions from the United States, Britain, and France, broke through the Iraqi defense line in multiple directions on the border of Saudi Arabia, advancing from south to north to the south of Iraq. The 101st Air Assault Division of the U.S. Eighteenth Army also carried out airborne operations more than 80 kilometers north of the Iraqi-Saudi border, establishing the first logistics supply base for multinational forces to go deep into Iraqi territory.

Immediately on the third day, the Eastern Route Army of the Multinational Force cut up the Iraqi troops in Kuwait and thwarted the counterattack of the Iraqi armored and mechanized troops in the outskirts of the city, annihilating about 10 divisions of the Iraqi Army, and the French Sixth Division of the Western Route Army. The light division defeated an infantry division in Iraq. Although during this period, the Iraqi president visited the front line in southern Iraq to organize an anti-encirclement operation, but failed. On the 26th, he ordered all the troops stationed in Khoi to withdraw from Kuwait, shrink the front line, and prepare for resistance in the Basra area in southern Iraq. .

But the results can be imagined. From the 27th, the American and British armored and mechanized forces carried out operations to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi army's five Republic Guard divisions and other elite troops. Drive into Kuwait and officially announce the liberation of Kuwait.

A total of 100 hours of ground combat before and after, the speed and efficiency, the large amount of personnel mobilized per unit time, and the high degree of reliance on informatization have all set historical records. The scene in front of me is being watched by the news media all over the world. Thirty-seven sky raids plus 100 hours of ground warfare, a total strength of 600,000 multinational troops and 200 casualties, how many countries have been completely destroyed? shocked?

Alice knew that.

More things to deal with later.

After the war came to an end, the people of the Ministry of Defense also made time, and it was time to have a good chat.

The door of the highest-level conference room opened, and Alice walked into the room. Looking around, there were all senior executives and generals who could scare civilians to death.

The leader is President Bush Sr., who came here by car from the White House. He has only served for four years and has just made the biggest achievement of his term. The secretary of defense, the director of the CIA, the director of the FBI, the director of national security and the commander in chief of the navy, army and air force filled the room.

"Wow, what an honor."

Seeing such treatment as soon as she entered the room, Alice would say something like this: "Mr. President, you are trying to scare people to death."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Bush Sr. stood up and asked her to sit down, and said with a smile, "You are our greatest hero in this war. If there is no new information network system led by Cisco, how can we fight like this?" Relax. It should be, please sit down first."

This evaluation, Alice is completely worthy of it. Just kidding, as a person who has experienced the real information age, it is so difficult to design a network command system for the Ministry of Defense at this moment. Although she just waved her hands and wrote an article, but the value of this information to the authorities, it is not surprising that it is sealed into the X-Files of SHIELD and kept strictly!

In this way, she sat down rustlingly.
