Chapter 769 The Eagle's Nest
Wu Potian issued a series of orders to the soldiers in the combat room, allowing the pilots of the Space Fighter Brigade to train pilots transferred from various air force bases during practical exercises, and told the soldiers that they could provoke the United States, but they would never fire the first shot. If the United States launches an attack on our army, they can use force to fight back. They even repeatedly emphasized whether this military exercise can bring out the morale of the Chinese military and teach the arrogant American military a painful lesson | It depends on whether the soldiers' training in the past few months has been home.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, when Wu Potian ended the pre-war mobilization meeting, a passenger plane appeared over Devil Island under the guidance of the airport tower. The pilots and military reporters on the plane saw through the window that the large airport under their feet were brightly lit. The airport runway was densely filled with many planes that they could not recognize at all. A reporter immediately shouted excitedly: "Look at the giant over there, that must be what Chairman Wu said about long-range strategic bombers. There are too many ones, two, three, and four, and they can't even count them."
After a sound of friction between the tires and the airport runway, the plane landed safely at the airport. When the cabin door opened, a major general first walked out of the cabin. When he saw Wu Potian standing beside him, he immediately walked off the plane quickly, held Wu Potian's hand enthusiastically, shook it hard, and said kindly: "Xiao Wu said that the general was Huzi, and this was right at all. It's only half a year, and you, a soldier, are not inferior to your father at all."
When Wu Potian heard the other party’s praise, he was not proud of the other party’s praise. Instead, he replied modestly: “Uncle Lin welcomes you to Devil Island as a guest. I have been in the army for so long. If I don’t look like a soldier, how can I be embarrassed to go back to see my dad and my grandfather.”
The scenes I saw on the plane just now, not to mention that those reporters and pilots were shocked, even Major General Lin was shocked. Although he was not sure whether the performance of these aircraft was really like Wu Yuanchao said, the number of aircraft here shocked him. At this time, he turned his eyes to heavy fighters and huge bombers not far away, and introduced to Wu Potian with a smile: "Xiao Wu, let me introduce you to the military reporters. This time he came to the island specifically to follow up on our army's first strategic cruise mission throughout the journey."
Major General Lin introduced this and said to the reporters behind him with a kind look on his face: "Xiao Miao, Xiao Shen, Xiao Zhang, I will introduce you to Colonel Wu, the commander of our army's newly established Tiger Teeth Special Forces, and is the person in charge of this base."
When the three reporters heard Major General Lin’s introduction, they immediately shook hands and greeted Wu Potian enthusiastically, and immediately resolved the situation inquiring about the Devil Island base, as well as the parameters and performance of these aircraft.
Wu Potian did not answer the questions of the three reporters immediately, but answered apologetically: "I'm sorry, my friends, although you are military reporters, the questions you asked are all very sensitive military secrets of our base. I'm sorry I can't answer your questions."
Hearing Wu Potian's answer, the three reporters immediately showed awkward expressions on their faces. The only female reporter said to Wu Potian with apologetic expression: "Colonel Wu is sorry, we are mainly because when the plane landed, we saw the densely packed planes on the airport and were so excited that we asked this kind of question with a strong sensitivity. Please rest assured that we will try our best to bypass this kind of question in the next question."
"Colonel Wu, we counted roughly when we were on the plane and found that at least hundreds of various aircraft were parked at this airport. Are these aircraft used to participate in the exercise?"
Faced with the female reporter's question, Wu Potian did not avoid it, but corrected it with a smile: "Ms. Chen, to be precise, there are a total of 1,000 aircraft parked at our airport, including 300 Eagle Nest long-range strategic bombers and 700 all-weather heavy fighters. A large part of these aircraft will be transferred from here to major airports in our country, and a small part will stay here to cooperate with our aircraft carrier fleet to participate in this military exercise.
"It is also the most important thing. Our twenty long-range bombers will take off from here to carry out our first strategic cruise mission. In addition to the twenty Eagle Nests, we will also send forty heavy fighters to escort the Eagle Nest until this mission is completed."
After Wu Potian introduced the purpose of this aircraft, a reporter immediately discovered the key issues and quickly responded to Wu Potian and asked: "Col. Wu, Vice Chairman Wu, said at a press conference held by Yanjing on behalf of the Ministry of National Defense this evening that our long-range strategic bomber is a bomber with new power. The aircraft can carry out strategic cruise around the earth without any fuel at all. You just said that when our first strategic cruise mission is launched, forty heavy fighters will be sent to escort it. Can our fighter aircraft also complete the escort mission without any replenishment?"
When Wu Potian heard the reporter's inquiry, he subconsciously glanced at Major General Lin standing beside him, and then replied with a smile: "That's right, our heavy fighter, like our long-range strategic bomber, uses our latest aerospace generator. This generator can meet the 24-hour range of the aircraft in the air with just one charge, and can fully realize the mission of escorting the bomber.
Hearing Wu Potian's introduction, the three reporters immediately recorded all the situations introduced by Wu Potian. The female reporter before took the opportunity to ask Wu Potian: "Col. Wu doesn't know what the load capacity of our long-range strategic bomber is, what the flight altitude is, and what the load capacity of our new heavy fighter is, and what weapons are it mainly equipped with?"
Wu Potian believes that after these two aircraft are included in the editorial process, they will definitely not be able to hide the data of long-range strategic bombers and heavy fighters. Although these data are sensitive, Wu Potian did not deliberately hide it. So when he heard the female reporter's inquiry, he smiled and said, "Ms. Chen, your question is another sensitive issue. However, considering that you are all reporters of our army and this issue is not a real core issue, I will tell you a brief introduction."
"Our heavy fighter jets and long-range strategic bombers, because the fuel they use is not aviation kerosene, makes it possible to ignore the load capacity of the fuel. The maximum take-off weight of the Eagle Nest is 130 tons, the flight altitude is 20,000 meters, the maximum take-off weight of the Vulture fighter is 47 tons, and the flight altitude is 23,000 meters. As for the weapon equipment, I can't tell you because it is a military secret."
