Lemon Lokov was supposed to report this matter to the General Counsel, but at this time the General Counsel had returned to the country to direct the battle in Stalingrad. When the war situation was urgent, even the General Counsel could not contact the outside world, let alone answer and handle it.
Lemon Lokov's telegram arrived.
Therefore, Lemonlokov reported the situation directly to the Supreme Deputy Commander.
The Supreme Deputy Commander was a smart man. He immediately realized the value of this radar. He sighed to his staff: "I can't imagine that China's technology has developed to this point! Their radar can actually analyze enemy and enemy ballistics and provide
Have you found the most suitable interception data?”
The staff officer thought for a while and then replied: "Comrade Supreme Deputy Commander, I have never heard of such equipment. Even the technologically advanced Sun Never Sets, Yingjiang does not have it, and I am very sure that Hans does not have such equipment either."
equipment……"
The Supreme Deputy Commander was also certain that Hans did not have this kind of equipment, otherwise they would have used it to deal with the Mao Xiong fighter planes.
"So!" the staff officer said, "could this be bragging by the head of the Chinese regiment? They don't have such a thing at all!"
The Supreme Deputy Commander thought for a moment and then replied: "Well, Comrade Yevgeny, tell me, what benefit does this do to them? Can they defraud us of 30 million US dollars?"
Hearing this, the staff officer couldn't help but be stunned.
This is indeed of no benefit to the Eighth Route Army. If they want to defraud Mao Xiong of 30 million US dollars... no one would think that Mao Xiong would reach this deal without testing, right?
The Supreme Deputy Commander walked to the window and looked at a group of fully armed soldiers passing by, and said thoughtfully: "If it were someone else, I would not believe him if he told me about such equipment, but he is the commander of the Huaxia regiment, and he has developed
The commander of the Chinese regiment has rocket launchers and air-to-air missiles. We have no reason not to believe him when he says he has such equipment!"
The Supreme Deputy Commander paused and continued: "Moreover, this equipment is very likely to be the key to our victory. Don't you realize this, Comrade Yevgeny? For this reason alone, it is worthy of our trust and
Take the risk! We have no choice!”
Although the Supreme Deputy Commander said he had "no choice," he still wanted to "have a choice."
Because the price given by Wang Xuexin was really unaffordable for him, he also hoped that Yingjiang would also have this kind of equipment, just like Lemon Lokov thought, and then be able to offer a more favorable price.
Even the Supreme Deputy Commander has an unrealistic idea: If Yingjiang and the Eighth Route Army both have this kind of equipment, can they lower the price to reduce Mao Xiong’s expenses?
On the other hand, the Supreme Deputy Commander understands that such matters must be kept secret... This is due to operational considerations.
If Hans didn't know that the Bear was equipped with such a radar, Hans would have continued to launch missiles to bomb Stalingrad and Baku as before. Even if these missiles were intercepted by the Bear's anti-aircraft guns, Hans would not know what the problem was.
The same is true for fighter planes.
But if Hans knew this, he would undoubtedly try his best to avoid the radar and even think of it as a target. This is obviously not a good thing for the furry bear.
Therefore, the Supreme Deputy Commander did not give much information when asking Yingjiang. Instead, he asked Yingjiang's advisor in Mao Xiong in a tentative tone: "Regarding the issue of missiles, is it possible to have such a radar?
It can..."
Then there are a lot of "blah blah blahs", which are actually about artillery detection radar.
But Advisor Yingjiang laughed: "It's a pity, Comrade Supreme Deputy Commander! We don't have the equipment you want. In addition, although the equipment you mentioned sounds easy, if you want to realize it, you know there are
How difficult is it?”
Consultant Yingjiang had some experience in military research and development, so he analyzed in detail one, two, three... with the Supreme Deputy Commander...
Analyzing the situation is similar to the difficulties mentioned by Su Liguo, except that because its goal is to intercept missiles and aircraft in the air, it does not require digital maps.
But the requirements for the third point, that is, calculation speed, are much higher.
Yingjiang consultant analyzed: "The maximum flight speed of Hans missile is more than 400 kilometers per hour, and it will be even faster when diving. However, the furthest range of your anti-aircraft guns is only 15 kilometers. If the effective range is calculated as 10 kilometers, it will leave you with a high speed.
What is the reaction speed of the artillerymen? Only a few minutes!"
"About three minutes!" the Supreme Deputy Commander replied. He had already calculated it when he consulted Yingjiang's advisor here. However, this was based on the fact that the missile flew at an altitude of one thousand meters and the weather was clear and the target was discovered by the gunner as soon as it appeared.
calculation.
"Three minutes!" Consultant Yingjiang nodded: "During this period, the gunner still has to adjust the various elements and the firing height of the artillery shell. So how much time is left for the radar to calculate? This requires the radar to be able to at least
Can we complete the calculation within a minute and hand over the data to you? This way you can possibly fire a few shells to hit the target... Is there anything in the world that can complete such a calculation in one minute and also complete the calculation automatically? I think this is
It doesn’t exist!”
At this time, Yingjiang had not yet started in the computer field, so it was not surprising that consultant Yingjiang did not know.
After hearing the analysis of Yingjiang's consultant, the deputy commander-in-chief felt a little relieved: This is something that even Yingjiang thinks is impossible. If China can do it, it will be truly unique and probably worth the money.
But having said that, whether it is worth the money does not depend on the equipment itself, but whether the equipment is unique and can save the life of a furry bear.
If it’s the only one and it can save lives, I’ll buy it no matter how much money I have!
So the Supreme Deputy Commander just asked Wang Xuexin a question through Lemon Lokov: "How long will it take for this radar to display the data we need?"
The purpose of the Supreme Deputy Commander's asking this question is obvious. If the data is displayed for more than one minute, it will be basically meaningless to the anti-aircraft artillery troops, and they will no longer need to waste time in this area.
If it's less than a minute, it depends on the situation.
Because if the data is given close to a minute or half a minute, it also doesn't make much sense.
The Supreme Deputy Commander believed that it would be better to use the money to buy radar to buy anti-aircraft guns. Firing more shells would always bring down more planes.
However, what surprised the deputy commander-in-chief was that the result from Lemon Lokov was: "One second, comrade the deputy commander-in-chief, the head of the Chinese regiment said it only takes one second!"
"One second? How is it possible!" The Supreme Deputy Commander looked at the telegram in disbelief, recalling the words of consultant Yingjiang in his mind, "Is there any way to accurately calculate these data in one minute? I think this does not exist."
"Go to hell!" the Supreme Deputy Commander couldn't help but cursed: "What Yingjiang thinks is impossible to do in one minute, but the leader of the Chinese regiment only needs one second? No wonder this radar is worth 5 million US dollars!"
