Chapter 1343 Absolute Death Radius
Du Fei saw the embarrassment of the hairdresser. Although he could not give credit to such a "high-quality customer" who might have long-term cooperation, Du Fei had to try his best to provide the other party with perfect service in other aspects.
He said with a smile: "Father, in fact, fighting is just like living at home. There are ways to live with more money and ways to live with less money."
Father was slightly surprised. He didn't know what Du Fei meant by this, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Du, please teach me."
Du Fei said slowly: "You are about to fight with the Youtai people, isn't that right?"
Father was stunned and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but then he thought it was unnecessary and simply listened to what Du Fei said.
Du Fei asked him: "What do you think is the key to victory or defeat in this battle?"
Father frowned, not quite understanding what Du Fei meant.
He is not a straw bag who relies on nepotism to get to the top. Although he is Hafiz's younger brother, there are many brothers in their family. Why didn't other brothers show up, but he was the only one entrusted with an important task by his brother?
At least it shows that Lifat has quite good ability and vision.
Du Fei suddenly asked him this question, and it's not that he couldn't answer it, but at this time, Du Fei asked this question, it was definitely not to test him, and there was no point in giving some conventional answers.
Lifat simply lowered his posture and waited for Du Fei's next words.
Du Fei paused and said: "In fact, the essence of any war is only one, that is, to find the enemy's weaknesses and then attack his weaknesses. From our ancient "The Art of War" to the modern "On War" maintained by Clauser, they all discuss this issue."
Lifat nodded. In theory, this is not a profound argument. The problem has been there since ancient times, and some theoretical foundations are understood.
The real difficulty is "how" to find the enemy's weaknesses. After discovering the enemy's weaknesses, how to deploy troops to win in one blow, whether he is a general, whether he can lead the soldiers, and the strength of the commander are reflected in this.
However, what Du Fei wants to say at this time is not these, and it is not so complicated and profound.
These are all formal, and can be said to be things between the tactical levels, but the advantages and shortcomings of the Fruit family at the strategic level are obvious.
There is no need to go to great lengths to find them, because this shortcoming is not concealed at all.
Du Fei looked at Lifat and asked, "What is the fatal shortcoming of the Youtai people?"
Lifat frowned and said, "You mean... the strategic depth is small?"
Du Fei said "hmm", but shook his head and sneered, "This is true, and you said it lightly. They don't have a small strategic depth, but they have no strategic depth at all."
Lifat was stunned, and then reacted. There was nothing wrong with what Du Fei said.
How could someone like Du Fei, who was born in a huge country, understand the situation of a small country like them, and compared with Huaguo, Youtai does not have depth.
Du Fei continued, "You said this, but it is not the most fundamental."
This time Du Fei did not keep it a secret. The fatal shortcoming of the Youtai people is that they have few people.
He continued, "There was a very classic summary in On Protracted War: If people lose land, both people and land will lose; if people survive and land loses, both people and land will gain. This sentence is just as accurate for you."
Lifat frowned. These sixteen words were a bit messy when translated into English.
Du Fei explained, "If I were you, I wouldn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. Although you are not big, you still have some depth compared to Youtai. We must focus all our strength on consuming their manpower. As long as there is a war, they will die tens of thousands of people, and they will definitely not be able to hold on."
Lifat was stunned.
Tens of thousands of people! What a joke, in the last Middle East war, Youtai only lost more than 900 people.
But Du Fei didn't waste so much time talking to him for nothing.
After he finished speaking, he immediately took a beautifully printed album from the side.
This album is a product brochure supervised by Du Fei himself.
On the cover is a picture of a H-8 aircraft taking off with its wings spread, and under the aircraft is a Dongfeng 2 missile more than 20 meters long.
Du Fei quickly flipped the album open and came to page 14.
This is a picture of four soldiers operating a large mortar.
Compared with normal mortars, this mortar is obviously larger, and the barrel is not only thicker but also very long.
What's more unusual is that the shells fired from it are larger, and they can't be put into the barrel, but the long rod at the back is put into the barrel, leaving a very large gun head that looks like a gas tank...
Du Fei put the album in front of Li Fat and said with a smile: "Our latest super mortar has 20 kilograms of high explosives filled in the huge warhead, and contains a large number of lethal steel balls. It uses a newly designed mortar to fire. From preparation to aiming and firing, it only takes five minutes at the fastest. The range exceeds 1,500 meters, the explosive power exceeds 100 meters, the effective killing is 50 meters, and the absolute death radius exceeds 15 meters..."
Li Fat's eyes widened, looking at the pictures and listening to the data introduced by Du Fei, his mind was a little confused, and he subconsciously muttered: "Absolute death radius?"
Du Fei explained: "It is absolute death. This super mortar evolved from our past 'unscrupulous cannon'. Because of the huge amount of explosives, as long as it is within a radius of 15 meters, even if you hide behind a bunker and can block the damage of steel columns or fragments, the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion is enough to cause fatal injuries. In other words, within 20 meters, there is no escape."
Li Fat's breathing was suppressed, and his Adam's apple rolled subconsciously.
Du Fei wanted this effect. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "Go and shoot two shots to see?"
Li Fat came back to his senses and immediately couldn't wait.
If it was really as awesome as Du Fei said just now, he would buy it even if he pawned his underwear.
The two immediately took a car to Factory 8270.
Although Du Fei's main energy has been focused on the aircraft manufacturing plant during this period, the development of Factory 8270 has not been slow at all.
Especially after stabilizing the relationship with Vincent, Vincent and his family behind him completely let themselves go, frantically exporting equipment to Africa, and the conventional weapons exports of Factory 8270 surged.
The factory was thriving. This year, the factory's workers had returned to 10,000, exceeding the scale before the main factory moved to the southwest.
Du Fei and Li Fat came to Factory 8270. Instead of going to the office building, they went directly to the shooting range.
Soon, someone drove a battery car to bring the artillery barrel and the shells similar to gas tanks.
Du Fei saw it and explained from the side: "If you use it, you can directly use a donkey cart or a horse carriage to pull it. In an emergency, you can also maneuver it manually. Four people can take the barrel apart and move it away..."
Li Fat nodded repeatedly. Seeing the real thing was far more shocking than the picture, especially the "gas tank" shell, which was really too big.
He couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat. He immediately went up with Du Fei, reached out to touch the cold barrel, and looked at the "gas tank" shell, but didn't dare to reach out to touch it.
There were 20 kilograms of explosives stuffed in it, so you can't touch it casually.
Du Fei didn't care at all. He went up and tapped it twice, making two "dong dong" sounds. He smiled and said, "It's okay. The fuse hasn't been installed yet. It won't go off even if you hit it with a sledgehammer."
Li Fat smiled, but still didn't come forward.
Du Fei waved his hand and signaled several weapon testers to go to the gun position and fire two shots.
He and Li Fat went to the observation bunker built 50 meters behind.
Several weapon testers used to be elite soldiers in the army, and now they are even more familiar with it. The leader responded and immediately led the people to move. In less than five minutes, the gun barrel and bracket were fixed, and three pits were dug in the ground with an engineer shovel to prepare the firing position. Then the two of them worked together to pick up a shell and insert the slender rod behind the "gas tank" shell into the muzzle along the muzzle of the mortar.
After doing everything, the test team leader yelled, "Everyone, get ready~fire!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone covered their ears, and the team leader kicked a pedal at the tail of the mortar.
Suddenly, there was a muffled "bang".
The thick barrel shook violently, and then a ball of flame spurted out from the muzzle, followed by a strong recoil that launched the "gas tank" shell.
Like ordinary mortars, the speed of the shell is not fast, and the shell itself is very large, so the parabola in the air is particularly clear, and it even feels a bit like throwing a grenade.
Lifat's sight followed the "gas tank" shell in the air, and saw that this big guy flew far away, and it was definitely more than one kilometer away.
It seems that Du Fei's range of more than 1,500 meters is not bragging.
According to Lifat's experience, as long as the elevation angle of the barrel is slightly adjusted, the range can be further extended.
According to the height at which the shell is ejected, if the accuracy of the landing point is not pursued, it is not a problem to extend the range to more than two kilometers.
Just when these thoughts flashed through Lifat's mind, the "gas tank" shell landed with a bang.
Suddenly, a loud bang broke out.
With a loud bang, Lifat's eyes widened even more. Just now when he arrived at the bunker, Du Fei asked him to wear earmuffs to protect his ears, but he thought it was an exaggeration. After all, he was outside, not indoors.
Now he knew that this was indeed not a superfluous move. If he didn't wear this thing, his ears would probably be "buzzing" for a long time without hearing any sound.
In the center of the explosion of the shell in the distance, a piece of gray dust rose, followed by a hot fireball that gushed out from it and spread around with the explosion.
In a blink of an eye, the circular shock wave reached the bunker where Du Fei and Lifat were.
Because the distance was relatively far, the impact had turned into a slightly powerful hot wind here, but it still made Lifat feel his breath stagnate.
He licked his lips, turned his head to look at Du Fei, and then looked at the impact point in the distance and spoke directly in his hometown dialect.
Du Fei didn't understand it either, but he could probably guess that he wanted to go to the front to take a look.
Of course, there was no problem.
Following the signal of the test team, stop firing.
At this time, Lifat also recovered and negotiated with Du Fei again. Sure enough, his guess was right.
Soon, the two of them rode their bicycles to a distance of one kilometer.
There was a small road on the test site, and electric vehicles could not drive in, but bicycles could.
When they arrived at the place where the "gas tank" shell hit, it was a big pit that had just been blown up and was still hot.
Around the big pit, in order to show the power of the shell, many dummies made of white wooden boards were originally set up.
These dummies were placed around the target in circles according to different distances, and the distance scale drawn with white lime could be seen on the ground.
At this time, within a radius of more than 20 meters around the pit, all the wooden mannequins were blown to pieces. If they were replaced by real people, there would be no chance of survival.
Just now, Du Fei said that the radius of death was within 15 meters, but he was still modest.
With this shot, everyone within a radius of 20 meters would be killed.
In a farther place, the mannequins were also blown to pieces. If they were real people, even if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured.
In a farther place, there were two cages with two gray rabbits in them.
At this time, both rabbits were motionless, with a pool of blood flowing from their mouths. It was obviously internal injuries, and they were all shocked to death.
Looking at this scene in front of him, the barber was so excited that he couldn't speak. He quickly turned around and looked at Du Fei, with stars in his eyes.
This super mortar is definitely a killing weapon, and he must get it.
Although it looks very cruel, for them, being cruel to the Youtai people is the salvation of their compatriots.
Their hatred has been engraved into their bones.
The barber tried his best to control his emotions, swallowed his saliva and asked: "How much is this cannon?"
Du Fei said: "The cannon is free, buy a cannon shell and get a cannon for free, the shell is 20,000 US dollars per round, and 50 rounds of cannon shells will get a cannon for free, how about it~"
The barber instinctively said it was expensive, turned his head to look at the explosion effect next to him, but knew that he had little room for bargaining.
It was obvious that Du Fei had grasped their core needs, but he still had to say it.
The barber said: "Fifteen thousand, I want five hundred, not one thousand rounds."
Du Fei shook his head as expected: "Friend, twenty thousand dollars is already our friendship price. If the Youtai people come, each round of the same cannon shell will be fifty thousand dollars."
The barber was speechless for a moment, and changed his words: "Mr. Du, we are not joking, twenty thousand is twenty thousand, I want one thousand rounds, but you must promise not to sell this kind of cannon shell to Youtai people."
"Of course, we are friends." Du Fei smiled and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation."
The barber breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Du Fei.
Twenty thousand dollars a round, a thousand rounds is twenty million dollars, but Lifat thinks it is worth it.
As for Du Fei, he was also very happy.
Originally, he did not intend to target anyone by making this upgraded version of the "gas tank" cannon, but simply expanded the product line.
But this time, it was the people of Youtai who disgusted him first, first the Shanghai Fei Factory, and then Mr. Wu's. It was simply that the toad was afraid of the feet, and he didn't want to be disgusted by it.
Since they wanted to be toads, Du Fei simply taught them a lesson.
Finally, there were ten million left, and Lifat bought some anti-tank mines and automatic minelayers, and then he went back satisfied.
However, after sending Lifat, the new customer, away, Du Fei did not relax.
Previously, Baden and Labaron were defeated by Du Fei twice, and although they left later, Du Fei did not think they would give up.
Next, Du Fei was impeccable in China, and they would definitely find another way.
The most likely one is the sea route to the Middle East.
No matter who Du Fei sells the weapons to, they will eventually be transported back.
Although there are also air transports, most of them still have to go by sea. As long as they find a way to cut off the sea routes, they can still achieve their goals.
As for Du Fei, although he received the money once or twice, the goods could not arrive. Although they were in transit, Du Fei theoretically did not have to pay for the goods, but he could not get the things he bought with money. Naturally, no one would come to be the scapegoat next time.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Du Fei.
Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents.
This time, it is just right to let the haircut be used as bait to see what the Youtai people will do next.
After sending the haircut away, Du Fei returned to the office and immediately contacted Eagle who was far away in Nanyang.
This distance of spiritual connection consumes a lot of mental energy. While waiting for Eagle's response, Du Fei couldn't help wondering whether he should lay a submarine line across the South China Sea to achieve direct telephone contact with Nanyang.
With this line, the time and economic costs of domestic and Nanyang communications will be greatly reduced.
As soon as this idea came up, Eagle had already responded.
Du Fei immediately concentrated his mind and asked Eagle to take direct charge of this matter, and took the opportunity to sort out the forces in the South Seas that make a living on the sea.
At present, Eagle's men control the largest pirate group in the South Seas, but there are still many other large and small forces.
Some of these people are similar to the original Black Reef Mercenary Group, with only a few fixed backbones. If they receive a big job, they will cooperate with others. There are also some dozens or hundreds of people. At this scale, they are not scattered soldiers. They must have various backgrounds. Even if they are not the Guo family, they are all major chaebols.
It is almost impossible to eliminate these people. Even if the current batch is all defeated, another batch will appear in a few months.
As long as there is the Strait of Malacca here, as long as this is still the busiest sea route in the world, there will always be people coming one after another.
So Du Fei did not intend to eliminate it from the beginning, but wanted to use part of the original Slater Mercenary Group to directly become the largest group in the local area, and then establish an underground order. On this route, whose ship can be attacked and whose cannot be attacked, who needs to pay tolls, and who pays tolls is useless.
Mastering this power means having one more means to deal with the enemy.
Soon, Lifat received the weapons and equipment delivered by Du Fei, arrived at Tianjin by train, and then boarded the ship to the south.
A few days later, Du Fei received a report from Eagle that Lifat's cargo ship had arrived in the southern part of the South China Sea.
Before this, it was a safe sea area, and now we really need to be vigilant.
Sure enough, Du Fei soon received another report from Eagle that the Suchai, which was entrenched near Siam and Malaysia, began to move.
It is difficult for these pirate gangs to hide their peers before a larger action.
It is fine to do some small fights at ordinary times, but once there is a big move, we must prepare in advance.
When it comes to manpower and equipment, no one who can eat this mouthful of food is deaf and blind, and everyone will know it as soon as there is a little wind.
Especially Suchai itself has some reputation, so it is easier to be watched.
