"what's the situation?"
In the office of Office 603, Chen Nian faced Chen Guo who rushed over urgently and asked in a confused tone.
"The situation has changed, and the US plan in Darfur is not as simple as we thought."
"They are not trying to cultivate a second Iraq or a second Syria there, but they are going to go one step further and directly bring the Revolutionary Front to power."
"Compared with the Bashir regime, Hamidi's governance philosophy is more radical, and his conflicts with Ethiopia and Egypt are more prominent."
"We judge that they want to use Sudan as a springboard to directly turn the entire Africa into the second Middle East."
Chen Guo didn't make any detours and stated her superior's judgment straightforwardly.
After hearing his words, Chen Nian's brows immediately frowned.
Use Sudan as a springboard to plunge all of Africa into chaos? !
Such a plan can no longer be described as vicious, it can even be said to be anti-human.
You know, Africa is not without chaos.
During the period after World War II and the 1960s, the entire Africa was in chaos due to the national boundaries forcibly drawn by Western colonists.
Excessive control exceeds the capacity of society and leads to brittleness and social disintegration due to differences between tribes and ethnic groups. Various objective factors have hindered local development after the "African Independence Day".
Massacres and genocides can be seen everywhere, and frictions between countries are also extremely frequent.
It can be said that the reason why Africa currently lags far behind the development of other continents is largely due to the original colonists.
Now, after decades, the situation in Africa has finally stabilized relatively, and countries have begun to seize the opportunity of large-scale investment to seek further development. The United States has not let them go.
In order to maintain their hegemony, they did not hesitate to use the billions of people on that continent as bargaining chips.
The enemy's cold-bloodedness far exceeded his imagination
Chen Nian's heart couldn't help but beat a few times, and he quickly asked:
"What is our current plan? Do we have a strategy to deal with it?"
Chen Guo shook her head and replied:
"The news has just been received, and there is no confirmation yet."
"But judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that things will get out of control."
"The Blue Helmets base in South Sudan has already responded, and they intend to try to contact the Revolutionary Front organization in North Darfur to obtain relevant intelligence."
"If the other party refuses to communicate or conceals its true intentions, then they may use unconventional means - mainly drone reconnaissance."
"In addition, superiors have also sent a note to the United States, asking them to explain the source of the arms."
"But it is clear that such a note will not achieve any of the results we want."
"The main issue discussed by superiors now is how we can suppress the situation if the most extreme situation occurs."
"After all, they have already begun to attack our basic base."
"The 'each to his own' strategy that we have always used has completely failed."
"There are only two paths we can take: either give in or confront us head-on."
"Is there no room for mediation?"
Chen Nian asked.
"No."
"As long as they are determined to support the Revolutionary Front, and there is not a big gap in the strength of the two sides, the government forces will have no way to confront them."
"Where's Egypt? Where's Ethiopia?"
This is the last solution Chen Nian can think of.
It is true that if the forces of other countries are introduced into the conflict in Sudan, the final situation will undoubtedly lead to a proxy war.
However, it is better to fight a proxy war than to directly participate in the confrontation with China.
At least that would give us a buffer of time.
And as long as he has time, he can rely on one or two technological achievements that transcend the times to quickly reverse the passive situation.
——
This is a very simple truth.
Commercial nuclear fusion has been developed, are you still in the mood for war?
In the face of inexhaustible resources, fighting for a little bit of oil is like a joke.
Therefore, time is very important to China.
Even if we can only get three to five years, it will be enough.
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo shook her head seriously.
"impossible."
"Neither Egypt nor Ethiopia has any intention of getting involved in the conflict in Darfur."
"On the contrary, they want the turmoil in Darfur to become more violent so that they can profit from it."
"It would be crazy for us to try to convince them to be our spokesperson in a time like this."
"In addition, to take a step back, proxy war is also an extremely dangerous strategy, and it is impossible for superiors to agree to it."
"Then there's nothing we can do?"
Chen Nian looked a little disappointed.
Since the founding of this country, the rule of "non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries" has been written in its diplomatic code.
Over the past few decades, we have followed this principle.
Such "duty" and "rule-abiding" behavior has won us many friends and brought opportunities for rapid development, but now
What if one day, this rule conflicts with the development of the country?
Chen Nian felt an unprecedented contradiction.
Chen Guo on the side noticed Chen Nian's expression and her heart tightened subconsciously.
He looked directly into Chen Nian's eyes and said:
"Don't be too eager for quick success!"
"Xiao Nian, I know what you are thinking."
"Yes, if we are like the United States now, letting go of our hands and activities in Africa, then based on the comparison of our strength with that of the United States in Africa, we may not really suffer."
"But the question is, have you thought about the future?"
"Some things once started, there's no going back."
"When we are forced to tie our interests to a certain country, although we will reap benefits in the short term, the backlash will definitely not be small."
Hearing this, Chen Nian sighed heavily.
Yes, how could he not understand this truth?
In fact, our opponent is a typical representative.
They play the role of "world police" unscrupulously, but in the process of enforcing the law everywhere, those "enforced" forces continue to resist them.
Perhaps now, such resistance has not yet formed a climate.
But what about the future?
Who can tell clearly
We cannot follow in their footsteps.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian said:
"I understand what you mean."
"But the problem is, we don't really seem to have any other options."
"This is not something you should be thinking about in the first place."
Chen Guo interrupted Chen Nian mercilessly.
"You are the core of Xinghuo and the technical core of the entire China."
“Your energy should be focused on technology research and development—not on these things.”
"Of course, I will still share this information and intelligence with you, but the purpose is not to let you come up with solutions, but to provide you with a reference."
"So, there's only one thing I can tell you."
"Don't worry, just focus on your skills and we'll take care of the rest."
"Understood."
Chen Nian nodded solemnly and said no more.
However, just now, when Chen Guo said the word "technical core", an idea suddenly popped up in his mind:
Perhaps, some political matters do not necessarily have to be solved by political means.
After returning to his office, Chen Nian quickly finished the H-20 progress report as usual and solved several difficult technical problems for Tang Changhong.
Of course, these problems are not so-called "technical steps", but just things that require scientific researchers to study and trial and error.
But in order to save time, Chen Nian directly issued an order, asking the project team to collect reports on all such issues, and then use the "system trial and error" function that he had tried many times before to draw conclusions.
In this way, the efficiency of the entire project team has been improved many times.
Often problems are discovered that day, and the solution is already on the researchers' test bench before going to work the next day.
After a few weeks, an urban legend began to spread among peripheral experimenters who did not know the truth:
In fact, China has secretly maintained a team of scientific researchers who have never shown up. This team's ability is superior to that of all teams in the world, and it also controls almost all of China's scientific research resources.
All problems are solved by them - this is why domestic researchers have had such a miserable life in the past few years. The reason is simple: all resources have been fed to this gold-eating beast.
Hearing this statement, Chen Nian was dumbfounded.
He wants to tell everyone that our previous insufficient investment in scientific research resources was purely an official mistake in management and strategy. This is a serious lesson, and the official has learned this lesson and is working hard to change.
We should not use such "legends" to beautify "mistakes", otherwise we will never be able to make progress.
But after much deliberation, he still didn't expose the matter.
After all, this group really exists now, isn't it just Sparks?
Two hours later, Chen Nian closed the latest report document of the H-20 project.
According to his usual habits, he should start studying or exercising at this time.
But today is different.
After closing the report, he found a blank notebook and began to write and sketch quickly on it.
What he wanted to verify was the idea that came up in Chen Guo's office.
"Use technical methods to solve political problems."
Yes, it is true that we cannot participate in the conflict, nor can we suppress the situation with violence.
However, there is indeed nothing we can do to prevent them from fighting.
information.
The Tower of Babel effect is the source of almost all frictions and conflicts other than the "great power game".
Whether it is the direct military conflicts between Palestine, Israel, Syria, Turkey, and the Soviet Union, or the chaotic confrontation and hostility in the Middle East and Africa, almost all come from this.
So, what if there was something that could even out the information gap between countries?
In other words, at least in terms of military matters, what about equalizing the military information gap?
Chen Nian's heart became clear.
He has realized that the most important reason why the United States dares to support Darfur so unscrupulously is not the so-called advanced weapons.
But their spy satellites.
The Revolutionary Front can always know the movements of the government forces, but it is difficult for the government forces to discover the movements of the Revolutionary Front organizations.
In fact, it is this that tilts the balance of strength between the two sides.
Then, what I have to do is to add some small chips on the Khartoum side.
Don’t you have spy satellites?
Khartoum can also have a replacement version.
——
No, not just Khartoum, but all of Africa could have replacement versions.
At this time, Chen Nian had already listed a series of technologies and equipment on the paper.
High-precision visible light camera.
High-precision infrared camera.
Lightweight solar cell module.
High speed brushless motor and ducted fan.
Anti-electromagnetic interference frequency hopping communication system.
Replacement bladders can be quickly filled.
self-destruct system
When a whole set of things was combined, it became what Chen Nian finally wanted.
An unmanned reconnaissance airship—no, a civilian weather balloon.
All the technologies of this product are technologies that China has completed breakthroughs and trial production. The only part that needs to be optimized is the solar cell module.
But in the system, its analysis requirement is only 2 points, and the consumption is not high.
In other words, the features of this thing are actually very outstanding:
Cheap, enough, and plenty of it.
If you want to use it in the struggle for hegemony among big powers like the United States, China, and Russia, it is just a joke.
Even in the Asian Monster Room and the Middle East, which is a little more technologically advanced, this thing has no use.
However, its destination is Africa
There are not many radars in Africa, and most of the time, wars rely on AK waist shooting and RPG mounted shooting.
Its existence will bring the same problem to all countries:
Fight or not?
Let's fight. The purchase cost of a balloon is only tens of thousands of dollars. Are you willing to waste one of your missiles?
If you don't fight, he will be watching you. If you make any military moves, it will be equivalent to making a big move under his nose.
What's even more annoying is that the self-destruction system of this thing makes it impossible for you to even catch any evidence.
With China's current ability to resist electromagnetic interference, the entire African continent has no way to compete.
A smile finally appeared on Chen Nian's face.
He vaguely realized that this thing was a pure "information nuclear weapon" in Africa.
Once spread out, the effect it can play is even greater than one's imagination.
——
Also, this idea can be replicated.
What if one day, China masters the "information suppression" of the United States?
War may no longer exist
Thinking of this, Chen Nian immediately picked up the phone and called Chen Guo.
After the call was connected, he said:
"Professor Chen, I have an idea, please listen to it."
"Yes, I did what you said - use technology to solve problems."
"Yes, I have a good thing here. See if you can use it."
A few days later, a piece of unremarkable news appeared on the headlines of a large Chinese media.
The news left many scratching their heads because it seemed so insignificant compared to any previous headlines.
However, on the other side of the sea, as soon as he saw the news, Houston's heart almost stopped beating due to the violent shock.
He couldn't believe that his opponent would come up with such a response strategy.
shameless!
It’s so shameless!
He picked up the water glass with trembling hands and spilled most of it before he even drank it into his mouth.
On the document soaked by water, there was a line of large characters written:
"Chinese companies plan to export a batch of weather balloons to Sudan, and Egypt, Ethiopia and other countries have also expressed their willingness to purchase them."
Under the title, a picture of a so-called "weather balloon" is printed.
In addition to barely having the shape of a balloon, it was simply a small airship.
Why do you just call this a weather balloon? ?
