The military officer in charge of receiving Liu Guangyu was called Khalifa. Compared with other armed men on the road, his demeanor was much more professional.

He first took Liu Guangyu to the residence he had arranged earlier, and then introduced to him the local curfew policy and sentry arrangement in Fasher, the capital of Darfur.

In just one hour, he explained clearly to Liu Guangyu what he could and couldn't do.

This made Liu Guangyu a little surprised.

He began, half sincerely, half flatteringly:

"General Khalifa, you are very professional, which is different from what I first imagined."

Hearing his words, Khalifa laughed and replied:

"Mr. Liu, with me, you can rest assured."

"Just because we're not professional soldiers doesn't mean we're brutal thugs."

"On the contrary, here, we do a lot more humanitarian relief work than the official."

"Many people survive because of our existence, and their attitude towards us is not hatred, only gratitude."

"I believe you will understand these situations after a while."

"Of course, I also hope that you can report the situation here fairly and objectively, which will help us further promote the peace process."

Liu Guangyu nodded with a smile and replied:

"Of course, that's exactly what I want to do."

——

Although I said so, in fact, Liu Guangyu at this time only had disdain in his heart.

He has dealt with too many rebels, and he also knows how many cruel realities are hidden under the appearance of these "gentlemen".

Humanitarian work?

What a joke!

What kind of humanitarian work can an armed group that seeks to subvert the existing conquest, earn money through violence, and even collude with foreign forces do?

It's just using this name to harvest the humanitarian relief supplies given by the United Nations.

This situation is actually the same whether it is in Iran, Somalia, or Darfur.

However, he would naturally not show his emotions at this moment.

After all, he still needs to continue lurking in order to obtain evidence of the collusion between Darfur and the Mi Fang.

Only when there is evidence that the armed forces of the Revolutionary Front may rise to a level that seriously affects regional peace in a short period of time can it be logical to submit a "military observation" to the United Nations.

Only when "military observation" is realized, can our power have the opportunity to extend to this land to suppress the eye of the storm stirred up by the US.

Thinking of this, Liu Guangyu said again:

"General Khalifa, I need to build a network transmission center here, which will help me transmit the collected reports back to China as soon as possible."

"In this regard, I need your help."

"Of course, someone will assist you."

Khalifa replied boldly.

There is a sincere smile on his face, which can easily give people a false impression.

It's as if he is not one of the warlords dominating one side, but a revolutionary who really wants to make happiness for the people.

But his next sentence revealed the darkness in his heart.

"However, for security reasons, all the news you pass on needs to be reviewed by us. Is this okay?"

Sure enough, the other party just used himself as a tool for external publicity.

They may even want to use the power of Huaxia officials to endorse.

It was impossible for Liu Guangyu to let this kind of thing happen, but at this moment, he could only agree first.

"A very reasonable request—I will write all reports in English."

"You know, although I can speak Arabic, my colleagues can't"

"Hahahahaha, of course no problem!"

Khalifa patted Liu Guangyu's shoulder heavily, and after a few more words of advice, he turned and left.

He told Liu Guangyu to stay in his residence to rest for the time being, euphemistically saying that he was "too tired on the road".

But Liu Guangyu knew that this was the ban imposed by the other party.

God knows what they're going to go out and prepare.

However, Liu Guangyu was not in a hurry.

He was already prepared to stay here for a long time, and as time went by, those things he wanted would be revealed slowly.

For now, let's do what the "master" says for the time being.

First find a way to gain their trust, and then slowly penetrate your tentacles.

After Khalifa left, Liu Guangyu obediently lay down on the bed to rest.

He didn't fall asleep immediately, but kept recalling the scene he saw when he got off the truck in his mind.

A mountain of weapons boxes, an endless stream of trucks and forklifts, and a large transport plane parked on a temporary runway far away.

Obviously, as judged by the superiors, someone secretly supports the Revolutionary Front organization in Darfur.

The boss of these people is naturally Lao Mei, there is no doubt about it.

But how can we get the evidence, figure out their next plan, and pass the news on?

What's in those boxes that have already arrived?

What will be in the boxes that may continue to be shipped and have not yet arrived?

These are all problems.

If these problems cannot be solved, there will be no basis for one's own next action to refer to.

At that time, even if military observation is really realized, it will only be forced to fall into a passive position.

This is not the result we want.

Liu Guangyu's breathing gradually slowed down, intermittent images were still flashing in his mind, but his consciousness had become blurred.

However, just before he was about to fall asleep, the sudden burst of gunfire outside the window woke him up instantly.

He rolled over and jumped out of bed, lying on the ground tightly.

The bullets whizzed past, shattered the glass of the window, and scattered debris all over the place.

After a full ten minutes, the gunfire gradually stopped.

Liu Guangyu vigilantly crawled towards the window, squatted a few meters away from the window and stood up, carefully observing the situation outside the window.

But what he saw was a scene he was used to seeing in other places.

The corpse that was dragged away, and the blood dripping on the ground.

Obviously, this time, the two sides that broke out in the conflict were not the Revolutionary Front and the Sudanese military.

It is Darfur civilians and separatist warlords.

There is no question about the result.

Those victors held black rifles with professional sights in their hands. At first glance, they might even think they were special forces from some country.

Liu Guangyu's pupils shrank a little.

He realized that the work done by the US side here may be much more than previously expected by the superiors.

On the other hand, when Liu Guangyu successfully entered the Darfur region and began to collect information for the follow-up "military observation" operation, Chen Nian also started intense work.

After his superiors made a decision, he received the news immediately.

In fact, the news was beyond his expectation.

In his expectation, the superiors should adopt more conservative coping strategies, such as using international public opinion to build momentum, arousing international attention, uniting other member states to exert pressure, and so on.

After all, this is the most commonly used method in China in this era.

Although the effect is not good, but relatively, the security is relatively high.

To put it simply, it is not easy to involve one's own side in disputes.

But now, judging from the attitude of the superiors, such a method is obviously not the optimal solution.

——

Of course, after thinking clearly about the context, such a conclusion is actually not difficult to draw.

This time, what Laomei wants to move is our basic market in Africa, which is also an important reserve base for our subsequent development.

In any case, it is impossible for the superior to respond negatively.

Therefore, after confirming the authenticity of the news and follow-up plans, Chen Nian immediately figured out what he was going to do.

The so-called military observation, in fact, is to persuade the fight.

Military observers will organize various patrols in conflict areas, monitor ceasefire lines and military demarcation lines, monitor the use of local weapons, investigate isolated incidents of violations of ceasefire agreements, and make public and report them.

The military observers sent by various countries are not very armed, and their security actually depends on the peacekeeping forces stationed there, or in other words, on the country that sent the peacekeeping forces.

Therefore, in order to ensure that military observation can be carried out smoothly and safely, and to ensure that the purpose of military observation can be effectively realized, there are two most important elements:

First, the national strength must meet the standard and have a decisive influence in the international arena.

This part restricts the actions of the "official government". It can ensure that when the official government violates the ceasefire agreement and even poses a threat to the local military observers, the country sending the military observers has the ability to conduct economic, policy, Comprehensive sanctions on the diplomatic front.

When necessary, the country can even be directly kicked out of the world game.

Considering this consequence, it is impossible for any sovereign government to arbitrarily harm the military observers of major countries, and even spare no effort to ensure their safety.

This point, the current Huaxia has undoubtedly been able to do it.

But the second one is relatively more difficult.

Because it requires a strong military projection capability.

Or to put it another way, it is "equal retaliation ability".

This part restricts the actions of "unofficial military organizations", including some chaotic tribes in Africa and some armed organizations in the Middle East that do not have legal rationality and have been forced to go to Liangshan.

Those with bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes. These organizations are often unwilling to cease fire, and they don't care about tearing their skins with the United Nations before they really have influence.

To get them to stop obediently, they can only show their swords and guns and let them know that if they want to play hard, they will not be able to survive.

At this point, the current Huaxia is not enough.

——

Or in fact, in the whole world, few countries can do it.

By breaking your fingers, the three major forces of the United States, Russia, and Europe can basically guarantee it.

Therefore, what Chen Nian has to do is actually very simple, that is:

Come up with a piece of equipment that can greatly improve China's conventional delivery capabilities as soon as possible to form a global firepower deterrent.

To achieve this, there is no doubt that aircraft carriers and strategic bombers are the best choices.

After all, it is impossible for you to bomb others with ballistic missiles at every turn, but it is not difficult for conventional bombing to pass UN resolutions,,,,,,

Thinking of this, Chen Nian took a deep breath.

Now, his thinking is very clear.

Don't do any fancy operations, as long as the H-20 flies together, most of the problems can be solved easily!

He flipped through the latest information he got from Tang Changhong, and began to read page by page.

All the above records are the problems that have been encountered or will be encountered during the trial production of H-20, including but not limited to the aircraft's hydraulic pressure, power, body aerodynamics and other modules.

At present, due to the introduction of carbon fiber production lines, the problem of body materials has been resolved.

Then the next step is to solve the flight control problem.

As we all know, for a subsonic fixed-wing aircraft, the critical angle of attack is about 15 degrees. Below this angle, the greater the angle of attack of the wing, the higher the lift coefficient.

But after exceeding the critical angle of attack, the additional angle of attack will cause the lift coefficient to decrease instead!

The reason is simple. When the average angle of attack of the front and rear edges of the wing exceeds the critical angle of attack, the surrounding airflow will separate from the fuselage and generate a turbulent vortex, causing the fuselage to vibrate violently, and the aircraft will then produce inertial rotation.

If the wings may hit the ground during takeoff and landing, causing flight accidents; if at high altitudes, abnormal conditions such as roll, yaw or pitch deviation may occur, seriously threatening flight safety.

Because of the variable-wing design used by the H-20, the risk of critical angles of attack will be even greater.

This part of the difficulty has troubled Tang Changhong for a long time. The solution they finally adopted was to use the flight control software to precisely control the flight angle and limit the flight angle to avoid stalling.

But in Chen Nian's view, such a solution cannot be regarded as the optimal solution.

Even if the final flight control program can really achieve the expected purpose, it will still limit the overall performance of the H-20.

He already had a better, more effective, and time-saving plan in his mind.

plasma generator.

In his impression, the first time an active flight control plasma generator appeared in China was in 2013.

At that time, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics launched the unmanned version of the technology verification machine Zidian. Through a series of wind tunnel tests, it was finally determined that the maximum lift coefficient of the test machine can be increased by using plasma open-loop control or pressure feedback control. More than 27%, the stall angle of attack can also be delayed by more than 4°.

There is no doubt that this is a major improvement in the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft, and it is also the best solution to the problem of critical loss of control in the current technological environment.

The only difficulty is how to make the plasma device.

Nobody knows.

——

But Chen Nian knew.

He picked up the phone and dialed Tang Changhong's number.

After the call was connected, he immediately said:

"Mr. Tang, I have read the report you just brought over."

"Yes, most of the problems are not difficult, but I also noticed that your solutions are not adequate for some problems."

"It's mainly about flight control."

"Yes, relying on software is not enough. The B-2's flight control program is advanced enough, but it will still fall if it should fall."

"I have a new idea, using a plasma shower to solve the overhead airflow problem."

"Yes, that's right, a plasma generator."

"Huh? Who will do it?"

"I'm coming, I'll take care of it!"
