Chapter 344 Landmark Rush (3)
The improved H-6b bomber almost took off without an escort fighter, but due to the persuasion of the staff, it was decided to have the escort fighters follow it as far as possible.
Fifty J-25s, China’s proud fifth-generation stealth fighters, escorted a bombing force as it passed through Belarusian and Lithuanian airspace and entered the Baltic Sea.
Choosing this route had the advantage of requiring only one country to protest: Denmark. Belarus and Lithuania did not dare to raise a voice.
China reached the waters north of the Netherlands without batting an eye at Denmark’s diplomatic protests.
It was a tight operational radius.
“Enemy aircraft appear.”
“Don’t overdo it. Fire air-to-ground missiles here and everyone returns.”
“Okay.”
The bomber force no longer had to strain itself and launched all of its air-to-ground missiles with a range of 3,000 km.
The ignited air-to-ground missiles flew quickly toward Paris, and the bomber force leisurely turned its nose under the protection of its escort force.
“Enemy aircraft are following us.”
“Don’t worry. From now on, I will show you the strength of the escort unit.”
J-20 stealth fighters engage in combat against South Korean naval aviation units.
“What are you going to do with something like the KF-16?”
“Hahaha, I wanted to see the F-22 once, where did you take it?”
“They say the Korean military has a lot of corruption in defense. Didn’t that guy who calls himself Marshal secretly steal the F-22 and sell it all?”
“Did you really think that the J-20 would lose to something like the KF-16? Seriously?”
Nine J-20s were shot down.
But instead, they achieved the feat of shooting down all 60 KF-16s of the Korean Navy.
“What about the escape parachute?”
“Not confirmed. Perhaps the emergency escape device is also out of service.”
“You guys, you’re making fun of the cube equation like that, saying it’s a 4.5 generation model. It’s really nice.”
“No matter how much I think about it, it’s not the 4.5 generation. It’s probably the 4th generation at best.”
“Could it be that our J-20 is not just a 5th generation fighter, but a super 5th generation fighter?”
“Oh, that makes sense.”
The Chinese Air Force returned in high spirits, having shot down a whopping 60 aircraft with only 9 losses.
At that moment, a communication came from command.
“Gentlemen, I have good news and even better news. Which one would you like to hear first?”
“Let me start with some better news.”
“Good. European countries, including Germany, have decided to open their airspace. They are all scared by the might of our great People’s Liberation Army. Hahahaha!”
The communication channel was instantly filled with laughter.
There was absolutely no tension as I was leisurely returning after completing my mission. I also shot down all 60 enemy aircraft that had been dispatched.
“Then please tell me the good news.”
“I’ve confirmed that their air defense network is worse than I thought.”
“What do you mean?”
“Yes. Nearly half of the air-to-ground missiles launched at Paris hit the target. They say the railgun tactical planes have great interception capabilities, but they’re not as good as I thought.”
“Wow, I think this is better news than the heavens opening up?”
“Hahaha, is that so?”
* * *
“Died.”
“It is death.”
“I am also dead.”
The fixed cockpit opened and the pilots raised their hands one by one and reported.
The 60th cockpit, which had been closed until the end, also opened after about 20 seconds.
“It is death.”
“Well, it’s a total disaster. Thank you all for your hard work.”
All 60 KF-16s were shot down. There were no emergency evacuation attempts.
However, there were no naval casualties.
This is because the pilots did not fly the fighters themselves, but rather flew them from remotely synchronized cockpits at the rear.
Ha Soo-young said, looking over the pilots lined up with their luggage on their backs.
“I want to emphasize once again that remote control is a total secret. Until the official announcement is made, you must keep quiet no matter what happens.”
“Victory!”
“Thank you for your hard work. Do you have any questions?”
At those words, the Navy pilots all looked among themselves.
Since they were all originally from the Air Force and then transferred to the Navy, they still had difficulty with Ha Su-yeong’s ‘Ask Any Questions’.
“Your Excellency, I wonder why you are deliberately pursuing the destruction of all friendly aircraft when you have the power to force the Chinese Air Force into a total annihilation war.”
“How many crashes and how many deaths have there been since the KF-16 was introduced?”
“15 total, we will correct it! 3 people died in 15 crashes!”
“That’s exactly why. In this war, we will get rid of all the old and unstable fighters. In the future, our ROK military will only operate fifth-generation fighters, such as the F-35 and F-22.”
Clear out everything except the 5th generation.
We don’t need any more old, obsolete fighter jets.
The pilots’ hearts suddenly swelled with emotion at the refreshing announcement.
Some people’s eyes turned red as they recalled their dead colleagues.
‘If we had this remote control system, no one would have died.
The remote control system was truly amazing.
There was absolutely no delay, and I was able to focus on controlling the plane with a vivid feeling as if I was actually riding a real controller.
However, the G applied to the body was much weaker than in reality, so there was little burden.
It was a next-generation remote control system that kept only the good parts and eliminated all the shortcomings.
The pilots had no idea how the most important communication jamming and delay problems were solved.
This is a technology that would turn the tables if the US knew about it.
The US military’s military upgrade reform to turn all aircraft into drones is fundamentally based on the fact that perfect remote control is impossible.
Because combat AI does not show judgment abilities superior to those of humans. Combat AI is still far behind human judgment abilities.
However, the Korean Navy has already applied it to actual combat.
“There are two more reasons.”
The sailors opened their ears wide and focused on Ha Su-yeong’s words.
“The second reason is cost recovery. If we decommission it ourselves, it will only cost more. However, if it is shot down by the Chinese Air Force, there will be no decommissioning costs, and instead, we can recover the entire cost of the KF-16 as compensation.”
The pilots’ expressions brightened.
‘Wow, as expected, he is the richest man in the world, so his mindset is completely different.’
‘In the midst of all this, you even thought about extracting the KF-16 project budget from China.’
‘If we win the battle, we will definitely get back all the money we spent on the battle.’
You’re deliberately losing used fighter jets that are practically junk, and then claiming the total cost of procuring them as compensation?
‘How can I tolerate such a huge profit?’
“The third is to make China let their guard down. I’m sure you’ve all read a martial arts novel at least once. Then you’ll know what I mean. In the martial arts world, 3% of your power is…”
“Hide!”
The pilots shouted back loudly, and Ha Soo-young clicked her tongue and shook her head.
The pilots who had confidently repeated their plans were taken aback by such a reaction.
“That’s not it. It’s not that you hide 3% of your power, it’s that you show only 3% of your power and hide the rest.”
“Poetry, I will correct it!”
Most of the pilots had a look of confusion on their faces.
Is that right? You’re not saying to hide 3%, you’re saying to only show 3%?
‘Didn’t that originally mean to hide 30%? As far as I know, it’s three pennies…
‘I thought the saying meant that I should normally hide 30% and hide 30% even in times of emergency.’
‘Oh, I don’t know. If that’s what the enemy says, then that must be it.’
Class is the best.
Regardless of the origin, if Ha Soo-young reinterpreted it like that, it is only natural to follow suit.
“I have a dream. I want to banish humans from the prosperous continent of China and create a paradise for nature, flora and fauna.
“To restore. To make more than 90% of the land of present-day China, excluding the autonomous regions, into a clean nature conservation area.” “….”
“To achieve that dream, we need to make China consistently misjudge the capabilities of our ROK military. That’s why we lost all of our KF-16 fighters.”
Disposing of underperforming scrap, recovering the budget spent on business expenses, and making China let its guard down.
The pilots were completely satisfied with none of the three reasons.
“Commander.”
“Captain Oh Tae-hyun!”
“Please announce that we lost 20 KF-16s and shot down all enemy J-20s, but were unable to block some of the bomber’s missile attacks. All pilots from the shot down fighters were able to escape safely, so there were no casualties.”
The presentation was full of distortions and minimization.
It is a deception technique aimed at completely deceiving the enemy while simultaneously deceiving one’s allies.
“How about saying that some of the pilots are dead to effectively deceive the enemy?”
“Then the families in the home country will be anxious. There is no need to tell such lies. After all, China will not believe that no one died.”
“I’m sorry. I was short-sighted.”
“Then do you have any more questions?”
The pilots had no more questions.
Ha Su-yeong ordered the disbandment.
“You will probably be quite tired from the battle. Pilots who have participated in the battle will be given a total of 48 hours of rest. And you are allowed to drink alcohol for the next 6 hours.”
“Victory!”
At the instruction to allow drinking, the pilots all brightened and dispersed.
Everyone was happy to relieve stress by eating expensive alcohol and enjoying snacks that surpassed those at luxury hotel restaurants.
Commander Oh Tae-hyun of the Expeditionary Force followed Ha Su-yeong and asked questions cautiously.
“Your Excellency, was it deliberately to allow the attack on Paris in order to induce China to let its guard down?”
“There is that reason. There are other reasons too. What do you think it is?”
“I’m sorry, the French government is upset. We’re exposing them to unnecessary war stress… … .”
“Oh, please speak freely. In vivid and essential terms.”
“I thought you had deliberately brought me to Paris to make France angry.”
“you’re right.”
The railgun tactical aircraft was fully capable of intercepting air-to-ground missiles.
However, he intentionally intercepted less than half of them, and let the rest fall on Paris.
The landing force retreated, leaving behind a lot of camouflage dummies, so there were no friendly casualties.
Suddenly, even the little looted land that was left behind was set ablaze by missiles.
“I mean, from the beginning, we entered this war with the conditions set for victory without casualties. What’s important is how we win.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“By the way, I hope China doesn’t find my surprise gift strange. It would be better if they were happy about it.”
“You won’t notice. And you’ll be very happy.”
European countries, including Germany, have simultaneously opened the skies to China.
It was precisely because of Ha Su-yeong’s secret request, but China believed that it was because Europe predicted the latter’s victory in the ‘Korea VS China-Russia’ match.
* * *
China was in a festive mood.
“All 120 ROK Navy F-22s shot down! Only 3 J-20s lost”
“The 5th generation fighter showdown will result in a proud victory for the People’s Liberation Air Force!”
“More than 30% of the Korean landing force that occupied Paris was judged incapable of combat, virtually annihilated.”
China’s first aerial victory was widely touted and received a favorable response from the people.
60 KF-16 fighters were replaced with 120 F-22s.
