Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Chief, what's going on?"

In the conference room, Xu Huasheng couldn't help asking while watching the live broadcast.

There are many things that Xu Huasheng didn't participate in, but Xu Huasheng thinks that the USS America was hit by the Granite anti-ship missile.

As for how Aidid got this thing, Xu Huasheng didn't know. After all, it was only Colonel Ka who was interested in this thing at the beginning. As for how much Colonel Ka bought in the end, Xu Huasheng didn't participate.

"Actually, it's nothing. Aidid's armed forces got four anti-ship missiles from somewhere. After launching, one was intercepted, and the remaining three hit the USS America. It is possible that it hit the oil tank or the ammunition depot and caused an internal explosion. Now the USS America is probably going to sink..."

The old man in the lead said with a smile, which made Xu Huasheng confused.

"Chief, whose missiles are so awesome? Although the USS America is a conventional-powered aircraft carrier, it has many guards with swords around it."

Xu Huasheng asked his question directly, and when he said this, several people in the room couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Xu, this incident was actually largely due to luck. The USS America was docked 30 kilometers away from the Mogadishu coastline. According to intelligence, the anti-ship missiles used by Aidid and his men have a speed of about Mach 2.5. In addition, the US military relaxed its vigilance and did not expect Aidid to have anti-ship missiles at all. He was careless and suffered a great loss..."

After the old man in the lead finished speaking, Xu Huasheng understood it instantly, and the smile on his mouth could not be stopped.

Damn, now I know what's going on.

These four anti-ship missiles are definitely Granite anti-ship missiles, and they are definitely sold by China. Otherwise, why did China know that there were only four missiles? Aidid must have bought four, and there might be Chinese people in Somalia.

Besides, the United States was hit by luck. If the United States had not been suicidal, it would not have been hit so easily by Granite.

If the United States was 300 kilometers away from the coastline, the American warships would have discovered these missiles soon after the Granite anti-ship missiles were launched. At that time, various interception weapons would be launched. Even if they could not be completely intercepted, at least they would not have intercepted only one.

Although Granite is awesome, if there was really a distance, the United States would never have been so miserable. It fired four missiles, and three of them hit it.

And it happened that it might have hit the fuel tank and caused a secondary explosion. This is really unlucky.

Sometimes, the biggest enemy of a war is not a strong opponent, but yourself who underestimates the enemy. In Somalia, the United States underestimated the enemy from the beginning, seriously underestimated the enemy.

If it had not underestimated the enemy, the special operation would not have failed.

If it had not underestimated the enemy, the American soldiers who rescued the special forces later would not have been surrounded and surrendered in the end.

If it had not underestimated the enemy, more than 20,000 Somali government troops would not have been sent to die.

If we had not underestimated the enemy, the camp would not have been attacked.

If we had not underestimated the enemy, the USS America would not have been about to sink.

"Xiao Xu, it seems that the view you originally put forward is correct. The future naval warfare model may dilute the role of aircraft carriers. This time, Aidid only had four missiles. If Aidid had enough missiles this time, not to mention the USS America, the entire USS America aircraft carrier battle group would have been destroyed. Facts have proved that the faster the missile, the more difficult it is to intercept. If the speed of anti-ship missiles in the future can reach Mach 5, Mach 10, or even Mach 20, then it is very likely that these warships will become live targets..."

The words of the old man in the lead made the experts in the room discuss.

This time, the USS America was a performance for countries around the world, and at the same time told countries around the world that aircraft carriers are not omnipotent. As long as the anti-ship missiles are fast and advanced enough, aircraft carriers can't stand it.

"Chief, I'm afraid that all countries will vigorously develop anti-ship missiles in the future."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, everyone is not a fool. With the United States as a lesson, everyone will naturally see what to develop.

Capable countries will definitely vigorously develop anti-ship missiles, and the United States will probably not only develop anti-ship missiles, but also work hard to develop weapons to prevent anti-ship missiles.

However, this does not affect the development of China. China is now developing in a systematic way. Not only missiles, but also various unmanned equipment.

Drones, unmanned submarines, unmanned ships, various missiles, and various robot dogs.

In the future, the main focus will be on unmanned operations. As long as a war breaks out, the production line will be fully operational, and no one will be needed.

Just like Mogadishu now, they are in the tunnel and can't come out.

If it is China in the future, there is no need to worry at all. Large-scale machinesIf we send robot dogs and unmanned combat vehicles, they can be piled up to death.

Let alone Aidid's simple underground city, even the underground city built by Libya can be piled up to death once China's unmanned system is successfully built. In the underground city, unmanned robots are more flexible, and their number is endless like an army of ants.

Just as countries were watching the excitement, the United States finally made a preliminary calculation of the losses.

Clinton almost fainted when he saw this instant loss.

In the raid last night, the US camp in Somalia suffered a brutal attack. The number of coalition forces killed alone was as high as 6,548, and 4,276 were injured, and there were very few people who were not injured.

The entire camp was in a mess, and many equipment were blown up. And Aidid's armed forces left only 3,753 bodies.

More than 6,500 soldiers died in one night, which was the heaviest loss for the United States since the Vietnam War. This is only on land.

In the Navy, the USS America was hit and it seems that it cannot be saved. There are about 6,000 people on the USS America, but so far, only 1,076 people have been rescued, and the rest are still being rescued.

The USS America suffered heavy losses, and most of the various fighter planes on it were also lost.

At the same time, the USS America was hit, which made the US Navy like a frightened bird. It did not dare to approach the Somali waters at all. The rescue only sent one ship to rescue, let alone salvage.

Now the United States only dares to let submarines operate nearby and secretly watch the USS America.

There are many US military secrets on the USS America. Not only the aircraft carrier itself, but also some aircraft that fell into the sea. These aircraft also have early warning aircraft and other fighters with functions.

If this aircraft is salvaged by other countries, the US military leak will be huge.

Angry, the United States is completely angry this time. So at 2 pm US time, US President Clinton directly gave a televised speech. This time the United States is going to be fierce.
