109: Peng Lin, the pioneer of the modern army system!

Provide an option to upgrade the “Beidou Terminal Equipment” module to countries that have purchased Longguo’s advanced weapon systems?

Offer all countries a limited period of free access to the Beidou Satellite Navigation System’s military high-precision signal, and then charge an “authorization usage fee” to countries that decide to continue using it?

Marshal Xu Yong'an and other senior army generals carefully considered Peng Lin's plan.

They suddenly realized that in addition to being a genius in military industrial research and development, Peng Lin was also a business prodigy!

Firstly, the “Beidou Terminal Equipment” can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness and strike precision of Longguo’s already sold weapon systems such as the Z-8, Weishi rocket launchers, Mengshi, Lynx, and self-propelled artillery!

We believe that no country would refuse this permanent military technology upgrade and would provide a reasonable technical service fee!

This way, Longguo’s high initial cost for constructing the “Beidou Satellite Navigation System” could be largely recouped in a short period!

It would be equivalent to many countries around the world sharing the cost of Beidou’s construction!

Furthermore, offering Beidou’s military high-precision signal to all countries for free would make it an irresistible temptation for any nation!

After all, currently, there are only two satellite navigation systems globally: “GPS” and “GLONASS”!

However, neither the Beautiful Country nor the Bear Empire could possibly provide such military systems for use by countries other than their own and their allies!

This would completely cut off the channels for many countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America to use satellite navigation systems.

Even if they wanted to build their own, they simply lack the national strength and technology.

Therefore, as long as Longguo offers these countries free use of Beidou’s military high-precision signal, they will be unable to resist the temptation.

And once they become technologically dependent on Longguo’s “Beidou” and the free trial period expires, most countries will likely choose to continue paying Longguo an “authorization usage fee” to continue enjoying the service.

Thus, Longguo’s “Beidou” would gain a large number of loyal national users worldwide.

“Furthermore, after these countries use our ‘Beidou Satellite Navigation System,’ they will undoubtedly align closely with us internationally!”

“The Beautiful Country and the Bear Empire became world superpowers not only due to their own strong national power but also because of their immense international influence!”

“For example, the Beautiful Country’s many allies in Western Europe, and the Bear Empire’s rallying power among communist nations!”

“And with Longguo opening up ‘Beidou,’ which is closely related to the military construction of many countries, our international influence is bound to increase significantly!”

Marshal Xu Yong'an, standing at a higher level, considered the significant impact of “Beidou”!

“I will personally apply for the funding needed for the construction of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System!”

Marshal Xu looked at Peng Lin and told him.

He understood that the Beidou Satellite Navigation System was a major national project, and Longguo absolutely had to possess it!

Even if it wasn't built now, it would inevitably be built in the future!

So, rather than letting future generations struggle to rebuild it, it was better for their generation to strive to complete it!

“The construction of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System can be divided into three phases. The first step is to build Beidou-1, providing service to Longguo and its surrounding regions!”

“The second step is Beidou-2, providing service to the entire Asia-Pacific region!”

“The third step is Beidou-3, opening services globally!”

“If we want to complete the first two steps of Beidou-1 and Beidou-2, it will require an investment of approximately 5 billion US dollars, of which Changhe Arms Industry General Factory can independently bear about two-thirds!”

Peng Lin calculated silently and replied.

“So there’s still a 2 billion US dollar shortfall?”

“No problem!”

Marshal Xu Yong'an nodded to Peng Lin, stating solemnly.

Although this amount of funding was enormous for the Longguo military, they had to grit their teeth and provide it for the future!

At this moment, Marshal Xu believed he absolutely could not hinder Peng Lin in terms of funding.

Once “Beidou” is built, the benefits will be endless for Longguo!

And Peng Lin, after receiving Marshal Xu Yong'an’s support, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, he looked at the system panel and created a task:

【Research Project Name: Beidou Satellite Navigation System】

【Difficulty Assessment: S】

【Task Progress: 50%】

【Task Reward: 10000 Research Points】

Since the Dongfeng-6's three-stage rocket launch system inherently possessed satellite launch capabilities.

Therefore, Peng Lin already had the foundational launch technology.

Next, he only needed to solve the technical aspects related to satellites and networking!

...October 10th.

After Peng Lin returned to Yanjing, the international situation was tumultuous!

After the Red-Blue Confrontation military exercise concluded, the Longguo army's outstanding performance shocked the world, completely rewriting global perceptions of Eastern military power!

This battle, where the outnumbered prevailed, not only demonstrated the overwhelming advantage of integrated units but also exposed the fatal flaws of traditional large-scale troop combat systems, causing violent tremors in the international military landscape!

Internationally, many countries and international media even directly referred to Peng Lin as the “founder of the modern army system”!

His proposed concept of “asymmetric warfare” was widely discussed and studied by military forces of various countries!

In addition, military delegations from multiple countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America urgently visited China, seeking to introduce the integrated brigade model and itsSupporting facilities equipment!

The 79A third-generation heavy main battle tank, WZ-10, Z-9 special helicopter, Z-8, Weishi rocket launchers, and a series of other weapon systems once again became hot-selling items in international arms trade!

In just a few days, various countries reached billions of dollars in military procurement intentions with Longguo’s Ministry of Defense!

Among these, there were even some relatively powerful medium-sized countries purchasing entire integrated brigades and integrated battalions of equipment!

After witnessing the Longguo army’s performance firsthand, many countries had already decided to gradually start learning from Longguo and follow the path of integrated units!

Among these countries, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Siam were the most active!

After minister-level military talks, both sides signed a series of military cooperation memorandums to conduct deeper military cooperation!

For example, Crown Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia signed a ten-year officer training program with Longguo.

To cultivate officers adapted to integrated brigades, Crown Prince Khalid decided to send no less than 500 young Saudi officers to Longguo military academies and units for further study and training each year.

Depending on the different types of officer training programs, Saudi Arabia would provide Longguo military academies with tuition fees of no less than 50,000 US dollars per officer per year.

At the same time, to encourage young officers to come to Longguo military academies and units for study, the Saudi Ministry of Defense also formulated a series of incentive measures.

For example, any officer who completed studies at a Longguo military academy and obtained a graduation certificate would, upon returning home, at least serve as a company or battalion-level officer.

And in the later stages, they would be given priority for promotion to become key officers of integrated brigades!

This military exercise was like a giant stone thrown into the water, its ripple effect continuously spreading!

From the generational shift in military technology to the redistribution of international discourse power, Longguo is tearing open an Eastern gap in the Cold War iron curtain with an unstoppable momentum!
