NIP #323 - Silent Deterrence
#323 - Silent Deterrence
This was a highly asymmetrical war. Our greatest weakness was our distance from the Rogue Eagle's homeland; almost all of our weapons lacked the range to reach it.
This could easily allow the Rogue Eagle to use all sorts of weapons without restraint!
Including peace bombs.
At this moment, Staff Officer Ye was especially grateful that, due to Ren Zhong's insistence, we had managed to acquire the complete technical blueprints for the C-54 transport aircraft!
The original C-54 transport aircraft had a maximum speed of 441 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 6,276 kilometers, a maximum payload of 14,773 kilograms, and was powered by four Pratt \u0026 Whitney R-2000-7 "Twin Wasp" engines with an output of 4,028 kilowatts.
Now, the H-5, developed using the C-54 transport aircraft technology, was not far behind the C-54 in terms of technology, but its maximum range exceeded 8,000 kilometers!
This was close to the maximum range of the B-29 strategic bomber. When designing the H-5's performance specifications, Ren Zhong insisted that this was a hard target that had to be achieved.
At the time, few people could understand Ren Zhong's request, even if it meant significantly reducing the payload, shrinking the minimum carrying capacity from 14 tons to 5 tons, with the rest being used for internal fuel load!
Clearly, Ren Zhong had foreseen this. A 5-ton payload was just enough to carry a 5-ton peace egg.
In other words, in Ren Zhong's worst-case doomsday counterattack plan, this was a last-ditch trump card used to carry out a one-way attack!
In one-way attack mode, this strategic bomber could directly reach the Rogue Eagle's West Coast!
Although this capability was only theoretical, with many unknowns and facing the Rogue Eagle's possible layers of interception, having such a card, along with the peace bomb, was still a very strong trump card.
It's just that the production volume of such H-5s was currently less than 10, and it was unknown whether the Rogue Eagle had received relevant intelligence. This was one of the top three classified projects in the country.
Only ranked below the Fifth District and the peace bomb!
Not enough, this was not enough. Ren Zhong thought about our secrecy measures. The Rogue Eagle might not necessarily know that such a strategic weapon was being prepared for them.
So Ren Zhong thought for a while and said.
"Before starting this battle, we need to have a special exercise."
A trace of ruthlessness appeared on Ren Zhong's face.
"We will conduct a Dongfeng 3A express delivery service towards the Pacific Ocean. This will warn the Rogue Eagle to limit the war to the scope of conventional warfare, and not let them only think of the peace eggs in their hands."
"How can we do that?" Staff Officer Ye asked eagerly.
"It's very simple. We'll reserve an area in the Pacific Ocean, then tow a scrapped cargo ship over there and place it there. Then, we'll send a cloud-explosive Dongfeng 3A express delivery over. Whether it hits or not, we can show our attitude and ability."
Ren Zhong said.
If it didn't hit, it would be a simple test of a long-range rocket that could reach Guam; but if it did hit, he would definitely edit and release the final result. This would be a trump card that could destroy an aircraft carrier!
For the Rogue Eagle, their aircraft carrier fleet stationed in the Asian region would have no sense of security at all.
Thinking of this, Ren Zhong suddenly thought of the latest radar technology, perhaps some tricks should be done on the target ship.
Rocket Research Center.
"Hitting a few hundred square meters target 3,000 kilometers away? No, no," Professor Qian shook his head directly. "We don't have this kind of precision guidance technology yet."
"What if we use radar guidance?" Ren Zhong asked.
"Radar guidance won't work either. The radar power on our warheads is too small, and the computer function for signal analysis is too weak. Scanning and analyzing this kind of target cannot achieve such high guidance accuracy at present." Professor Qian still shook his head.
"What if the target can actively emit radar waves?" Ren Zhong continued to ask, "The target has a continuous stream of radar waves emitted."
"Ah, is there such a thing? If that's the case, let me think.
If we strengthen the signal receiving part of our warhead, then in the case of known latitude and longitude, calculating the difference in received signals will be much easier,"
Professor Qian thought carefully for a while, somewhat understanding Ren Zhong's train of thought,
"I feel that the idea is feasible. Let us calculate, I will verify the principle first and see.
If there is no high-power transmitting module, our radar guidance system will greatly reduce weight, and we can increase the computer part a little, and choose a faster computer to do the guidance calculation. The ability to process signals will be much stronger. By verifying the feedback of the strength of two different radar wave signals, I feel that the accuracy can be improved. As for whether it can reach a hundred-meter distance, we will know after verification."
After verification of the model on the Fifth District computer, there were no problems. Theoretically, Ren Zhong's idea was valid!
Soon, this experiment began to enter the preparation stage in full swing.
Regarding the current situation, the official began to warm up and issue warnings, warning all foreign forces not to intervene in the new war.
Next to these statement pages, a very inconspicuous announcement of a long-range rocket launch was published.
Then, the on-site results of the experiment were displayed through a set of coded photos, which continuously showed a rocket hitting a target ship at the last moment.
Along with the announcement of the latitude and longitude of the target ship's sea area, a calculation by those interested showed that this directly exceeded the mainland coastline by at least 3,000 kilometers!

Following this report, an old news story revisited the shining moment of Miss Qiu's wedding.
The mushroom cloud over the target ship, the mushroom cloud rising at the moment of Miss Qiu's wedding, made people think and clearly showed the message that Ren Zhong and the others needed to express!
Although the vast majority of Chinese people did not feel anything about all of this, for insiders who were paying attention to this matter, this delivery of Dongfeng Express silenced them all at once.
It was hard to say what the actual effect was now, but the pictures on the scene showed that Dongfeng Express had even reached the accuracy to hit an aircraft carrier!
Who could withstand this?!
For the Rogue Eagle, this was like showing a deadly broadsword at their aircraft carrier in the Asia-Pacific region.
Regarding Miss Qiu's wedding earlier, I believe many people have not forgotten that memorable scene.
"No one is mentioning peace bombs anymore." Staff Officer Ye obviously had unique channels to obtain the latest information on external public opinion.
After all, radio stations were not a new thing now. Thanks to the development of vacuum tubes and transistors, radio stations had entered a new era of development. Now, many countries or companies around the world could build a radio transmitting device that could reach the entire globe.
"Some experts are calling for the destruction of weapons of mass destruction. Our warning has been very effective."
"So, are we going to see the real thing on the ground next?"
Ren Zhong continued Staff Officer Ye's words, "Yes, our next task is to drive the Rogue Eagle back on the ground!"
