Today, Toshiba is not that well-known in China, but in two years, it will become a household name.
After all, Japan has always been very willing to invest in advertising, and it is indeed good at marketing, and its technology is not weak. Therefore, in normal history, throughout the 1980s and 1990s, their home appliances would have completely occupied China's market. The high-end home appliance market was once a type that was difficult to buy with money, because the most high-end ones, such as the "Toshiba Bazooka" TV, were only sold by Friendship Stores and required the use of foreign exchange coupons.
However, if you only think that Toshiba makes home appliances, you would be underestimating them.
In fact, the name Toshiba comes from the merger of the "first characters" of the two companies. Toshiba comes from Tokyo Electric and Shiba comes from Shibaura Manufacturing. Both companies were founded in the second half of the 19th century. Ye, that is, 18xx.
So Toshiba is actually very strong in the entire industrial manufacturing field, including their machine tools, which are also relatively advanced in the world. For example, now they have mastered the manufacturing process of a nine-axis five-linkage CNC milling machine, which is often The five-axis linkage machine tool mentioned refers to five of the nine axes, which can produce elegant and perfect linkage production and processing under the control of the program.
The most important function of this kind of machine tool is that it can process some non-standard parts with complex curves and surfaces with extremely high precision, such as aircraft turbine blades, marine propellers, heavy generator rotors, steam turbine rotors, large Diesel engine crankshaft etc.
Sitting on the train, Wang Ye's thoughts were racing in his mind.
"I'll take a nap!"
Finally, Wang Ye felt sleepy from thinking about it, so he said to the person next to him. The short-haired young man next to him nodded and said:
"Well, director, go to sleep!"
Then Wang Ye climbed to the upper bunk of the sleeper berth, and then began to fall asleep. Nowadays, the Red Star Alliance can finally buy sleeper berth tickets easily, and Wang Ye naturally will not work hard on himself. After such a long time, Who wants to sit down when they can sleep on a sleeper berth?
Just when Wang Ye was sleeping.
In the southern region of Saudi Arabia, it is now four o'clock in the morning local time. As it is winter in the northern hemisphere, the sky is still dark, and for most normal people, they have entered the deepest and deepest stage of sleep.
"Buzz buzz!"
Accompanied by a special sound, six rotorcraft were seen flying quickly in the darkness. These rotorcraft had no other lights except the outline indicator lights at the tail. Flying in the dark, nothing could be seen from the ground. can not see!
Soon, the time came to four twenty in the morning.
At this moment, they are less than three kilometers away from their target, the oil base. From the sky, they can see that the entire oil base is like a black monster crawling on the ground. A few lights outline the frame of the entire oil base. After all, There are only oil wells and oil storage equipment here, but no refining and chemical plants, so naturally there are no lights at night, and the overall look is dark.
"Click!"
With a soft sound, the light on the tail of the rotorcraft at the front suddenly changed from green to red, then to white, and finally disappeared!
And such light signals began to be transmitted from front to back, until the last gyroplane did not perform light rotation, but directly turned off the lights, and it can be seen from a close distance that the two-person gyroplane normally flies at this moment. There was only one person and the entire front seat was empty!
However, under the wings of the metal tube trusses on both sides of the rotorcraft, there are densely packed bombs. It is obvious that these rotorcraft have been transformed into micro bombers, and they are about to carry out a bombing mission!
At this moment.
The gyrocopter flying at the front observed the lights from the air, then took a detour and flew in another direction. The second aircraft behind followed, but the third one chose a different direction, and the fourth one followed. It is obvious that these six rotorcraft have entered combat status and are divided into three squads. They adopt the common structure of lead aircraft and wingman in the Air Force. They look very professional!
Then, under the cover of the noise of the oil base itself, and even the personnel on duty were drowsy, they flew so arrogantly over the oil base, and then started dropping bombs!
"boom!"
The next second, there was a violent explosion above the oil depot, but at this moment, the entire oil base still did not react at all!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Next, after multiple flashes of fire, it seemed that the top of the entire oil depot was finally overwhelmed and a hole was blown out. The explosion then ignited the sprayed petroleum liquid and petroleum gas!
"boom!"
At that moment, the entire oil depot turned into a huge torch, directly lighting up the sky. The shadows of those micro-bombers flashed past, and as the mushroom flames disappeared, they disappeared into the darkness again.
"Dudududu!"
In an instant, the alarm system of the entire oil base was sounded. When the people on duty saw the exploding oil depot, their legs went weak. While those who were awakened were still at a loss, there was another loud noise outside. Earth-shattering explosion!
"boom!"
Another oil depot exploded again!
At this moment, there was a burst of screaming, cursing and roaring in the entire base. Some security personnel on duty had begun to prepare for a counterattack, but at this moment they discovered the most important problem, they had no idea where the target was!
"Dammit! Take up arms! Take up arms!"
"The watchtower reports the news! The watchtower reports the news! Which direction is the enemy? Quick!"
"Report! Report! We did not see the enemy, nor did we see the trajectory of the rockets. Repeat! We did not see the enemy!"
"Son of a bitch, if there were no enemies, would the oil depot explode on its own?"
"Keep your eyes open and look for me, where is it!"
In the headquarters, the commander holding the phone kept roaring. Veins popped up on his forehead, looking crazy and angry. The reason why he was so angry was actually very simple.
In recent times, attacks by armed groups on oil wells have never stopped, especially in areas close to the border, which have been the focus of attention. Under such circumstances, after consultation and deployment by senior officials such as the royal family and Aramco, a large number of security guards Personnel were dispatched to various oil bases near the border to prevent sneak attacks from armed groups.
It just so happens that this oil base is one of the bases that receives security personnel. However, because they are far away from the border, the overall pressure is not great. After all, there are not many armed organizations circulating in the country, and it is difficult to hide them. The recent armed attacks , the attacking organizations are mainly armed organizations from the southern Yemeni region and the northern Jordanian region, and many of them bypass the border to conduct sneak attacks.
But at this moment, they were confused!
Because in their mind-set, the attacker must be an armed organization, and their main means of attack are gas tanks, and even steel pipe rockets are not too many, because they are more expensive, so they usually attack one kilometer away from the oil base. Launching attacks from left and right places is actually easy to detect.
"No enemies! No attackers found!"
"There are no rockets in the sky"
At this moment, the lookout who suddenly reported the news was stunned for a moment. He reacted the next second and shouted at the same time:
"In the sky! The enemy is in the sky, it's a gyrocopter!"
"They are bombing the oil depot from the rotorcraft, quick, quick, quick! Attack the sky! The target is in the sky!"
In an instant, the lookout's voice was transmitted to all parts of the entire oil base through radio waves. Then, in the dim light of the fire, everyone vaguely saw a shadow flashing across the sky. It was obvious that this was the sneak attacker!
"Attack! Attack against the sky!"
"Knock them down! These sons of bitches!"
As the commander roared, the security personnel there hesitated for a moment, and then fired into the sky. But it was obvious that several magazines had been used up and were of no use at all!
The reason is very simple. Not to mention that ordinary rifles cannot shoot flying objects that high. Even if they can, they still need to aim. But it is so dark at night that you can’t see anything. How can you aim? How to shoot? How to hit the target?
In the era when there were no air defense radars and anti-aircraft missiles, the air defense force mainly relied on anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns. In conjunction with the anti-aircraft guns, there must be a very special unit called the searchlight unit. Only the searchlights on the ground were turned on, lighting up the sky and locking the target. Only anti-aircraft guns can aim at the target and shoot more accurately, otherwise they will just shoot randomly into the sky, and whether or not they hit will be left to chance!
Nowadays, these security personnel are just shooting casually. Although it is useless, at least they have fired all the bullets, which looks more dedicated.
The time before and after was less than five minutes.
The six rotorcraft disappeared over the oil base, and even the personnel on the ground could not accurately judge when they left. For those people with ink marks, even their clothes were gone in just a few minutes. Not dressed neatly!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Air defense guns! We need anti-aircraft guns! We need anti-aircraft missiles!"
In the end, only the roar of the commander-in-chief, the whistle of the siren, and the working sounds of various fire-fighting equipment were left. At the same time, the entire oil base also suffered heavy damage. The three oil depots were burned to the ground, and the flames burned!
Soon, the news was reported to Riyadh.
Riyadh, a relief home for women and children during the war. Sattler came here today to visit and inspect the work. Recently, with the increase in oil well attacks in Saudi Arabia, the number of casualties has been increasing, so the work of this relief home, It also gradually started to get busy.
"How's your work lately? You seem very busy?"
"But you seem to have adapted to this job. You feel you are doing well and in good order."
Amidst all the sobbing and noises, Sattler looked at Catherine not far away and asked. Catherine nodded and said:
"Yes, it is indeed very busy. In fact, compared to the staff who go out, our place is still better."
"There have been too many attacks recently. Some people have lost their fathers, some have lost their husbands, and some have lost everything. They need our help, whether it is material or spiritual."
The initial attacks mainly targeted various oil wells and oil areas, but with the intensity of the struggle between the two sides, the situation has now expanded. Even civilians are not immune. Many towns, villages and even cities have also been affected by gas attacks. The attacks by canisters and rockets caused a large number of casualties. The number of displaced people began to increase, and more and more people lost their loved ones.
Hearing this, Sattler originally wanted to make a joke to express the transformation of the lady in front of him, but in the end his depressed mood and anger made him lose interest in talking. He just sighed and nodded and said:
"Great job, keep it up!"
"Our future situation will become more and more severe."
Catherine nodded in agreement with Sattler's statement. After all, she was originally engaged in intelligence work and had a certain ability to judge the overall situation, so it was not difficult to deduce the next development.
"Your Highness, we hope to obtain some female workers."
"Currently we have a serious shortage of female workers. For boys, male staff can naturally match them, but for women and girls, female staff must do the relevant work."
"Otherwise our work progress and efficiency will be greatly slowed down."
After a short silence, Catherine said this, and Sattler nodded slightly to express understanding, and then asked:
"How do you want to get it?"
"Send my maids here? Of course, no problem."
Regarding Sattler's statement, Catherine was silent for two seconds, and then said very firmly:
"That would be great if you could do that."
"However, I hope that we can still recruit some free female staff and let them participate in the work. After all, helping our fellow citizens who are suffering is something worthy of encouragement and praise in my opinion."
After hearing what Catherine said, Sattler was silent, and finally smiled and said:
"Yes, but I can't guarantee that you can recruit people."
"After all, although we allow women to come out to work, there are not many people who are actually willing and able to come out."
"However, I also feel that this is a good thing, so let's do it!"
Just as Sattler finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps, and the blue curtain next to it was opened, and Elizabeth hurried in. She looked very tired, and her hair was tied up very neatly. He said in a hoarse voice:
"Sister, people from the British CBB Radio and Television Station are here to interview."
Through the raised curtains, you can see many women and children resting in the hall outside. Crying sounds can be heard from time to time. Medical staff are asking questions and staff are distributing food. An indescribable atmosphere of sadness pervades. With.
"Okay! I understand, please invite them over!"
Following Catherine's voice, Sattler nodded. Just as he was about to say something, the curtain next to him was lifted again. A staff member walked in and whispered something in his ear. In an instant, Sattler's face became more and more ugly. .
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
Sattler nodded and said, and then left quickly. A moment later, the TV station's interview was conducted directly in the hall. Catherine faced the camera, her eyes were red, and her voice was trembling as she said:
"We call for peace and oppose conflict and war"
"We need more manpower, especially women, and everyone is welcome to join our work."
At the same time, Sattler returned to his Cadillac bulletproof car, then punched the seat next to him and yelled through gritted teeth:
"Damn it! Five attacks in one night?"
"They actually learned how to bomb and engage in guerrilla warfare?"
Last night's attack was not just on that one oil base, but five bases were attacked by air in succession. The methods were all similar, that is, they bombed with rotorcraft and then ran away after the attack.
The key problem is that even if they were unable to effectively counterattack at the time, the military finally made a quick move and sent fighter jets to support them. However, in the end, they never found where the rotorcraft had gone, which was equivalent to a wasted trip!
"Can we find a way to deploy anti-aircraft weapons? What did Prince Duarte say?"
Finally, Sattler said to the staff member next to him. The staff member hesitated and said:
"It can be deployed, but it is not easy. On the one hand, our troops are short of personnel, and the air defense forces cannot spread to so many oil bases. On the other hand, there is a problem with the number of weapons. We do not have many anti-aircraft missiles and not enough anti-aircraft guns. "
At that moment, Sattler suddenly felt a little desperate.
