Chapter 707 Breaking the Balkans!

Instantly, everyone in the house was shocked!

Including Chang Haonan.

Before his rebirth, he had not actually studied the entire process of Allied operations, so he did not know the specific origin of the B2.

Not to mention everyone else.

On the one hand, because the defender's ground forces have been facing high-intensity air suppression for a long time, their range of activities is often very restricted and can only be near hidden places, which is very unfavorable for the task of hunting down parachuting pilots.

In the roughly twenty days since the Allied operation began, several parachuting pilots who shot down the aircraft were eventually taken away by the Allied search and rescue units.

On the other hand, this pilot's military rank seems a bit too high...

Brigadier General, in principle, should correspond to the senior colonel on the Chinese side.

But in fact it cannot be calculated like this.

The highest-ranking school officer and the lowest-ranking general officer cannot be completely equated in meaning.

Moreover, the staffing level of officers on the US military side is correspondingly lower.

For example, the size of a flying wing is roughly equivalent to that of an aviation division, and the wing leader's military rank is only that of colonel.

For ships such as aircraft carriers and cruisers, the captain's rank is only colonel.

In short, in the US military hierarchy, brigadiers are basically senior officers who are separated from front-line command positions.

Flying a bomber halfway around the world on a bombing mission was a bit unexpected.

"It seems that the original target of the air strike was exactly what we had guessed before."

Fu Youquan picked up the intelligence document and glanced at it briefly:

"Specially sending a commander with such a high military rank to serve as a pilot may only be due to the need for confidentiality. Low-level officers may not have the authority to know the true purpose of the mission."

"Then... wouldn't the conditions we just discussed have been achieved?"

Liu Yaoshun had already put his hat on, but now he took it off and put it back:

"The U.S. Air Force is almost equivalent to our military air force, especially the 8th Air Force, which is a purely strategic bomber unit. It is affiliated with the Air Force Global Strike Command and belongs to the first order of nuclear deterrence. At the peak of the Cold War, This force will maintain a certain number of bombers on patrol 24 hours a day to avoid being wiped out on the ground by the first round of nuclear strikes.”

"The capture of the commander of such a unit is definitely a major loss not only for allied operations, but also for the entire U.S. military. It is hard to imagine that the U.S. military did not rescue this pilot."

"Rescuing pilots behind enemy lines is a very difficult task."

Fu Youquan closed the folder, put it on the table, and shook his head:

"In response to this Allied operation, the General Staff set up a special staff group to study the coalition's air force and the application of tactics by special forces. In general, the reason why the previous rescues were all successful was mainly because of the range of anti-aircraft missiles It is relatively far away, and the locations where the planes were shot down are outside the city, making it easier for pilots to locate and search.”

"But this time, although we don't know exactly where the plane hit, the fact that it crashed on the outskirts of the city shows that the pilot most likely parachuted over the city and probably landed in a densely populated city with a large number of troops. For combat search and rescue, , basically a target that cannot be rescued.”

After listening to this analysis, Chang Haonan nodded slightly.

After all, no matter how important the pilot is, he cannot save Grandpa.

Send a few more and you'll become a clown.

"In short, it seems that we don't need to take action at all?"

Liu Yaoshun did not continue to struggle with the previous issue, but returned to the core topic at the beginning:

"No matter what, this brigadier general has enough cards. If he appears publicly in the media later and threatens to try him as a war criminal, then the United States will have to pay a price even if it is just to appease domestic public opinion. Get the people back!"

The situation seemed to suddenly become clearer in an instant.

Using a brigadier general in exchange for a truce can be regarded as finding a step forward for the United States (although it is still a bit embarrassing).

Who can't make cards out of thin air?

Furthermore, the card of Marlott was not created by the void, but was sent by the Americans themselves...

Another officer also added with a smile:

"Not only that, I estimate that there won't be only one country that wants to try Brigadier Marlott..."

Everyone also reacted one after another.

In the eyes of several European countries that had suffered huge losses, this person was obviously the culprit, and it was impossible to just expose him casually.

"In other words, for the sake of their own public opinion, the European side may even abandon the Americans and conduct extradition negotiations alone?"

"That shouldn't be the case."

The officer who just spoke shook his head:

"But with reference to the Cavalese cable car tragedy that occurred in Italy last year, it will definitely put pressure on the United States, and it is likely to propose a military trial within the framework of NATO. In short, the current conditions are indeed more conducive to a ceasefire and the alliance can successfully suspend the The probability of military action is not low.”

"..."

Amidst the relatively optimistic opinions, Mr. Zhang and Fu Youquan, who had just read the original text of the intelligence document, did not appear particularly relaxed.

Even Chang Haonan also felt that things shouldn't be that simple.

The idea of ​​using important captives as exchange chips is certainly correct, but the operation may not be as smooth as imagined.

Sure enough, after a while, Mr. Zhang coughed twice:

"Comrades, don't focus entirely on the Americans."

"This condition is actually not difficult for the United States to accept. However, there is only one chance to use prisoners as bargaining chips. If after the Allied operation is over and the storm subsides in another two years, they come back, What should we do?”

"Even if the equipment and technology developed by Comrade Chang Haonan are still there at that time, or even if they are upgraded, is it possible that we can accidentally shoot down another B2 and capture another pilot?"

This question made the atmosphere at the scene calm again.

Even if most people here believe that the interference with GPS was deliberately set like that by Chang Haonan, they still have to admit one fact——

The reason why the Allied Forces Operation has reached this dead end is mainly because the United States committed suicide and a series of coincidences.

Whether it is passive search radar or GPS directional jamming equipment, they only play a "catalyst" role.

Therefore, if it is true as Mr. Zhang said, if the Allied operation is repeated in two years, it will be almost impossible to obtain the same results.

There was silence.

"Speaking of this."

Fu Youquan looked at Chang Haonan, who had been invisible since he introduced the principle of GPS interference before:

"Comrade Haonan, it seems you haven't spoken before?"

"this……"

Chang Haonan was shocked when his name was suddenly called:

"General Staff Meeting, after all, I am not a member of the General Staff..."

In this kind of situation, the attitude should be corrected.

Mr. Zhang, who was in the first place, waved his hand:

"Hey, there are no taboos in internal discussions. Besides, it doesn't take much time for you to speak."

Chang Haonan did not speak impatiently, but looked around first, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals. In particular, he looked at Ding Gaoheng specifically to make sure that the latter meant the same thing:

"Then...I dare to say a few words..."

Fu Youquan nodded while picking up the cup and drinking water, and cast an encouraging look at him.

"Then send someone there..."

"puff--"

"Ahem——"

"..."

These seven words made almost all the more than 20 generals present unable to hold their nerves.

Although there are no taboos, you are a bit too taboo-free...

"Of course it's not just our own faction..."

Chang Haonan also realized that he was indeed a bit of a blockbuster, so he quickly made up for it:

"What I mean is that since the Americans were playing the human card at the beginning, they might as well take advantage of it. As long as the Allied operation can be ended in name, we can propose to the Security Council that in the name of peacekeeping, the five good... five permanent directors The two countries jointly dispatched peacekeeping military units to the Balkans to prevent another human crisis!”
