Chapter 994 What! Your 4th Generation Machine?
"What?!" Wang Wu's brows suddenly tightened, and a very strange expression appeared on his face:
"Are you saying... a while ago, a large number of unidentified fourth-generation fighter jets invaded and conducted a comprehensive strategic reconnaissance of your Western Theater Command?!"
Just now, Deputy Commander Zou Yuan held his hand tightly, his expression solemn as if a storm was coming, and begged the "brother troops" for help.
Seeing this, Wang Wu thought that the Western Theater was facing a life-and-death crisis such as a zombie siege or a large-scale rebellion. He never expected that the "major threat" solemnly raised by the other party was actually... created by their own air force?
This is a complete misunderstanding!
Looking at Wang Wu's face, which was hesitant to speak, mixed with surprise and a hint of absurdity, Zou Yuan misunderstood.
His heart sank, thinking that even this "top secret combat unit" was shocked by the news of the "fourth-generation aircraft".
After all, in this era when third-generation aircraft have just become the main force and even many troops are still flying old second-generation aircraft, the technological generation gap and battlefield dominance represented by fourth-generation fighters are absolutely overwhelming!
Anyone who knows a little about military affairs understands what this means - it is an absolute threat that is enough to render the entire theater air defense system useless!
"Director Wang," Zou Yuan took a deep breath and spoke with a heavy tone that said, "We've done our best to find out," trying to demonstrate the efforts of the Western Theater Command.
"To be honest, regarding this... or rather this batch of unidentified fourth-generation aircraft, our theater intelligence and technical departments have conducted a thorough analysis, combining their flight path, electromagnetic characteristics, and... ahem, historical experience," he paused deliberately, emphasizing his conclusion.
"It can basically be identified. The source is the wooly bear in the north!"
"Hairy bear?!"
Hearing these two words, the strange expression on Wang Wu's face instantly escalated, and he almost couldn't hold it in! This misunderstanding was getting more and more outrageous! How could the J-16 fighter jet that was carefully built by China become the property of the Russian bear?
Seeing that Zou Yuan was about to launch into an incessant analysis based on the "Russian bear threat theory," and might even make a "strategic prediction" that would embarrass both sides afterwards, Wang Wu knew that he could no longer let the other party have free rein.
This layer of window paper must be broken now!
Although the situation will be a bit awkward, it is better than having the other party realize it later and create a rift...
"Deputy Commander Zou! Please wait a moment!" Wang Wu's voice suddenly rose, interrupting Zou Yuan's words.
Zou Yuan was interrupted and looked at him in surprise.
Wang Wu met the other person's gaze, his eyes calm with a subtle hint of apology, and he spoke clearly, word for word:
"I think... you may have a serious misunderstanding."
He paused, making sure every word was clearly heard by the other party: "That's not some Russian fighter jet."
"That's the J-16 multi-role heavy fighter jet belonging to our Zhongzhou Theater Air Force!"
boom!
This sentence was like a mental bomb that exploded in the minds of Zou Yuan and Gao Zhikai!
The "heavy and resolute" expression on Zou Yuan's face froze instantly, his mouth still maintaining the shape of saying "Russian bear" just now, but his eyes were wide open, as if he had heard the most incredible nonsense in the world!
He froze in place, his mind blank.
J-16 multi-role heavy fighter? ? Fourth-generation fighter? ?
Is it the fourth-generation aircraft that recently suppressed the entire Western Theater Command? The fourth-generation aircraft that the entire Western Theater Command Air Force played with wantonly?
It's called the J-16 multi-role heavy fighter? It belongs to the Zhongzhou Theater Command?
After hearing these words, even Gao Zhikai, who had been watching coldly from the side, felt as if he was hit hard in the chest by an invisible hammer!
He suddenly straightened his back, and the defiant and gloomy expression on his face was completely torn apart by pure, unconcealable shock!
A while ago, those ghostly fourth-generation fighters soared over Lan City and the entire Western Theater of Operations as if they were in no man's land, manipulating the entire theater's air defense forces at their fingertips...
Is it from the Zhongzhou war zone right in front of us?!
"Director Wang... Director Wang..." Zou Yuan's voice trembled uncontrollably, and even the tone of his address changed. A lieutenant general actually used honorifics to address a colonel in a hurry:
"You...you must...don't play such an international joke on me! Where did our Zhou Bang get the fourth-generation aircraft?!"
"This...this is impossible!" The huge cognitive overturn made the veteran almost incoherent. He subconsciously shook his head, as if trying to get rid of this overly horrifying 'truth' from his mind!
The air seemed to completely freeze at this moment, and even the wind and sand seemed to hold their breath.
Only Wang Wu was left with a helpless look, and the two Western Theater Commanders opposite him had stiff expressions of extreme shock and disbelief on their faces...
During this period of time, the entire Western theater of operations has been going crazy because of this unidentified fourth-generation aircraft!
The top brass in the war zone have been holding meetings day and night, and the physical and mental stress are on the verge of collapse!
The troops in the war zone were kept in a high-pressure, first-level combat readiness state. They couldn't eat or sleep well, and would immediately become tense at the slightest sign of trouble.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire war zone is almost suffering from nervous breakdown...
And now, you're telling me that after the war zone's air force, the entire war zone has also engaged in a battle of wits and courage with the air?!
Thinking of this, Zou Yuan, deputy commander of the Western Theater Command, felt like crying and laughing at the same time...
He never imagined that the situation that had plagued the Western Theater for so long, to the point where everyone was mentally prepared for a fight to the death, would actually be resolved in this way...
"Deputy Commander Zou, I'm truly sorry. In order to contact you, we can only conduct intelligence reconnaissance by dispatching fighter jets!"
"If this is offensive, please forgive me!"
Seeing the reactions of Zou Yuan and Gao Zhikai, Wang Wu knew that this misunderstanding was a bit too big, so he immediately expressed his apologies in a sincere tone.
In the face of Wang Wu's apology, Zou Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Apart from forgiving him, what else could he and the Western Theater Command do?
Not to mention that they need help from the other party now, even if they don't, the gap in strength between them does not allow the Western Theater to be unforgiving...
So instead of being awkward and not solving the problem or offending people, it is better to be more open-minded.
After figuring this out, Zou Yuan quickly waved his hands, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Now that we know they're from our own army, the misunderstanding is resolved!"
"At the end of the world, we all hope that our brother troops will become as strong as possible. This is just a minor incident. Please don't take it to heart!"
"It would be bad if this affected our cooperation!"
?
Listening to the speech of Zou Yuan, deputy commander of the Western Theater Command, Wang Wu thought he had heard it wrong. Wasn't this his own line?
It seems that I was too conservative at the beginning, and I didn't really realize the ability of my own war zone to confuse right and wrong!
While Wang Wu was feeling emotional, Zou Yuan took the opportunity to express his thoughts:
"Director Wang, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, do you think there's any chance I could go to the Zhongzhou theater and personally visit Commander Gu?"
