132: The strategic goal of Dragon Country!

Inside the Ministry of National Defense conference hall, Marshal Xu Yong'an, in a crisp military uniform, surveyed the envoys from various countries. Behind him, a large screen displayed the magnificent image of the BeiDou System's successful networking.

"Gentlemen, what the 'Spring Thunder-80' exercise demonstrated today is not only the progress of the Dragon Country's Army but also an opportunity for military reform in all countries!"

Marshal Xu's voice was steady as he pointed to the screen.

"The BeiDou System has achieved 10-meter level positioning accuracy and 120-character short message communication in Dragon Country and surrounding areas. Its effectiveness is evident to all."

"To promote regional security cooperation, Dragon Country is willing to open BeiDou trial services to friendly nations for free, for a period of one year!"

"During the trial period, all countries can seamlessly access the BeiDou network and experience core functions such as real-time navigation and precise fire coordination!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an said to everyone with utmost sincerity.

And his words instantly caused a stir in the entire Ministry of National Defense conference hall!

Beidou Satellite Navigation System!

Free to use for one year?

Ambassadors from various countries and military attachés stationed in Dragon Country listened to Marshal Xu Yong'an's words, all showing expressions of disbelief!

In the recent "Spring Thunder-80" military exercise, the Dragon Country's Army demonstrated a "discover and destroy" combat mode that far exceeded traditional Army coordination efficiency, causing concerns among various countries about the military generation gap!

This means that the military gap between small and medium-sized countries and the Superpowers, as well as Dragon Country, will become even greater!

And unfortunately, given the national strength and technical level of small and medium-sized countries, it is simply impossible for them to build a Global satellite navigation system!

This situation caused deep anxiety among representatives from many countries!

But now, Dragon Country is actually willing to allow all friendly nations to access the BeiDou network for free?

To possess real-time positioning and precise fire coordination capabilities for the entire Army, just like Dragon Country's Heavy Combined Arms Brigade?

At this moment, many national representatives in the Dragon Country Ministry of National Defense conference hall became incredibly excited!

However, compared to everyone's excitement, the expressions of Ivanov, the Soviet Union's ambassador, and Williams, the USA' ambassador, instantly froze.

Due to Dragon Country's geographical location and the sensitivity of Global positioning, the two world Superpowers chose their most outstanding diplomatic politicians as ambassadors to Dragon Country.

The moment Marshal Xu announced the BeiDou service plan, they instantly understood Dragon Country's strategic intent.

Dragon Country is clearly trying to attract potential users by offering a one-year free trial of BeiDou, preparing to promote paid services later!

This is to make many small and medium-sized countries around the Global dependent on Dragon Country's technology!

In addition, BeiDou's short message communication, precise fire coordination, and other functions requireSupporting facilities Dragon Country equipment to maximize their effectiveness, which will force purchasing countries to introduce the entire Dragon Country Combined Arms Brigade equipment system!

If the Dragon Country Military really achieves this strategic plan, then how will the USA and the Soviet Union's weapons be sold to the Global market?

Ivanov, the Soviet Union's ambassador, his pupils slightly constricted, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his rough face.

His fingers unconsciously tapped the armrest of his seat, his brain rapidly working.

As the owner of the GLONASS system, he knew the strategic value of a satellite system better than anyone.

Dragon Country's move was tantamount to "poaching" within the Soviet Union's sphere of influence!

His gaze swept gloomily towards Williams, only to find that the latter's face was also ashen.

Williams, the USA' ambassador, his mouth twitched, and his pupils behind his gold-rimmed glasses narrowed into a slit.

His previously composed demeanor suddenly tightened. The impact of the Dragon Country Ministry of National Defense's promotion of "BeiDou" had completely exceeded the USA' expectations and control!

GPS, as a technological pillar of the USA' Global hegemony, has always been the most expensive bargaining chip in military sales negotiations with allies!

And now Dragon Country is offering a "free trial"?

"Your Excellency Minister Xu Yong'an, currently the Dragon Country's Beidou Satellite Navigation System has only launched four Global geostationary orbit satellites, and its coverage is limited to Dragon Country and surrounding areas."

"How can it serve many countries around the Global?"

"In addition, how can Dragon Country guarantee the reliability of BeiDou's military signals to many countries, as well as issues such as data security not being stolen?"

Williams, the USA ambassador to Dragon Country, suddenly spoke, looking at Marshal Xu Yong'an and asking.

His voice was undoubtedly abrupt, causing the entire conference hall to fall silent.

At the same time, representatives from various countries around the Global also showed thoughtful expressions and looked at Marshal Xu Yong'an.

Because these questions raised by the USA ambassador to Dragon Country were all incredibly realistic problems that Dragon Country had to face and solve.

"Thank you very much for the questions raised by Ambassador Williams!"

"However, many of these questions involve the professional technical aspects of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System, and I would like to invite Comrade Peng Lin, our BeiDou Chief Designer, to answer them for everyone!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an said with a smile, unhurriedly.

Because after overseeing the launch and networking of the Beidou Satellite, Peng Lin had already returned to Yanjing by special plane in the afternoon.

Inside the Ministry of National Defense conference hall, Peng Lin, also in a crisp 65-style military uniform, stood in front of the large screen.

"Your Excellencies, Ambassadors and Military Attaches, I am Peng Lin, the Chief Designer of the Dragon Country Beidou Satellite Navigation System."

"I am happy to answer the questions raised by Ambassador Williams."

"Currently, in terms of BeiDou System construction, our department has achieved 'one rocket, two satellites' launch technology and completed the initial networking of Beidou-1!"

"In addition, within the year, our department will advance the construction of the Beidou-2 System, aiming to expand its service range to the entire Asia-Pacific region, providing comprehensive support for military operations and economic activities!"

"Under the conditions and project funding permitting, it is expected that the BeiDou System can achieve Global networking within three years, and will increase positioning accuracy to meter-level, and expand the short message function to about 1000 characters!"

Peng Lin explained to everyone with a smile.

At the same time, behind Peng Lin, the large screen switched to 3D models of equipment such as the Z-8 helicopter, Weishi Rocket Launcher, and Type 79 155mm self-propelled howitzer.

"For countries that have already purchased Dragon Country equipment, we will provide BeiDou terminal technology upgrade services, only charging for costs and technical training fees!"

"Whether it's helicopter avionics modification, artillery fire control upgrades, or armored vehicle navigation embedding, the Dragon Country Military Industry team will provide full technical support to ensure a leap in the combat effectiveness of existing equipment!"

"In addition, after the one-year trial period expires, countries can choose service packages as needed."

"Basic positioning functions will only incur a symbolic maintenance fee. If advanced permissions such as encrypted short messages and theater-level anti-jamming channels are required, a long-term strategic agreement can be signed to enjoy technology sharing and joint research and development rights."

"For countries with security concerns, a higher level of cooperation model can be chosen!"

"Dragon Country will provide full technical services and cooperate with that country to develop a regional augmentation system, improve local positioning accuracy, and build that country's data system on its own territory!"

"During this one-year period, the Dragon Country Ministry of National Defense will set up a 'BeiDou Plan' office, welcoming all friendly nations to discuss and customize all cooperation models!"

Peng Lin said to everyone.

As his words ended, the entire Ministry of National Defense conference hall instantly erupted!

Dragon Country will not only provide BeiDou terminal technology upgrade services at cost price to countries that have already purchased Dragon Country's weapons and equipment?

It will even provide various types of support, such as basic packages, upgrade services, and special customization, tailored to the needs of different countries around the Global?

This level of thoughtfulness made many small and medium-sized countries eager to immediately embrace BeiDou!
