137: Prince Khalid: Have I become the overlord of the Middle East?

According to Peng Lin's design, Beidou-2 launched a total of 14 satellites when its network was completed!

It formed a hybrid constellation of 5 geostationary orbit satellites + 5 inclined geosynchronous orbit satellites + 4 medium Earth orbit satellites!

This constellation architecture was independently developed by Peng Lin, completely different from the USA' GPS and the Soviet Union's GLONASS!

Its advantage is that it balances regional coverage accuracy and signal stability. For example, geostationary orbit satellites can provide high-precision positioning for the Asia-Pacific region, while medium Earth orbit satellites leave ample possibilities for future Global coverage capabilities!

However, this is only the initial completion of Beidou-2!

In the future, to ensure the stability of the Beidou-2 system and itsconnection with the Beidou-3 system, Beidou-2 will need to supplement at least 4 more backup satellites.

But even now, Beidou can already be used for coverage throughout the entire Asia-Pacific region!

...At the same time.

In the military command center in Riyadh, the capital of Shat Country, when the news of Beidou-2's completion came, Prince Khalid almost jumped up in excitement.

To some extent, he was even more concerned about the Beidou Satellite Navigation System's Asia-Pacific coverage network than Dragon Country.

Because behind him, King of Shato, Faisal, personally attended the "Desert Eagle" military exercise organized by the Ministry of Defense of Shate.

And Dragon Country's "Beidou" was the core protagonist of this military exercise!

In addition, a series of cooperations with the Dragon Country Military were all presided over and facilitated by Defense Minister, Prince Khalid!

It should be known that among the members of the Shatt Royal Family, the most powerful force and voice has always been the pro-USA faction!

Defense Minister, Prince Khalid's series of actions to align with Dragon Country have always been highly controversial within the royal family!

If it weren't for his elder brother, King Faisal, who firmly supported him, Prince Khalid would have probably been forced out of his position as Defense Minister by other royal family members long ago!

This time, Prince Khalid was counting on Dragon Country's "Beidou" system to save face and make a comeback within the royal family!

"Your Majesty, the Dragon Country Ministry of National Defense has sent word that the Beidou-2 network has been successfully established!"

"The Desert Eagle military exercise can begin!"

Prince Khalid bowed respectfully and said to King Faisal.

"Good!"

"Then let's begin!"

King Faisal said calmly.

But his eyes were fixed on Prince Khalid.

As of now, the Shatt Royal Family has purchased nearly 20 billion US dollars worth of advanced weapons and equipment from Dragon Country, and he is eager to see the results!

Prince Khalid received permission, and he took a deep breath to calm himself.

Standing in the command room, he personally pressed the activation button for the Beidou specialized customized system.

In an instant, on the huge electronic screen, the map of the entire Shat Country was instantly covered with dense green dots!

The real-time positions of every Guardian B-type Rocket Launcher, z-8 heavy transport helicopter, and 79A Main Battle Tank that had been upgraded with Beidou terminals were displayed!

At the same time, Shat Country's local Beidou augmentation station network operated at full power for the first time, compressing the positioning error to meter-level!

The giant server clusters in the Riyadh data center flashed blue light, and Saudi Arabian military officers watched the three-dimensional battlefield sandbox with Arabic interfaces, all with pleasant surprise on their faces!

This was the "Desert Eagle" command system custom-made exclusively for them by Dragon Country, capable of simultaneously tracking 2000 combat units!

"Your Majesty, from today onwards, every shell and rocket of our Saudi Arabian army will have eyes!"

Prince Khalid knelt before King Faisal and said with immense excitement!

And at this moment, King of Shato, Faisal, looking at the "Desert Eagle" command system on the large screen in the command center, was also completely shocked.

From last year to now, the Saudi Arabian military has altogether equipped 50 z-8 heavy transport helicopters, 1000 Mengshi Protected Assault Vehicles, 1000 155mm self-propelled howitzers, 100 Guardian A-type rocket launcher systems, 500 Guardian B-type Rocket Launcher systems, and 50 WZ-10s.

Now, the positions of all these troops are displayed in real-time within the "Desert Eagle" command system!

At this moment, King of Shato, Faisal, felt like he was the "Middle East Overlord"!

He felt that Israel, Iran, and Iraq were all weak!

Meanwhile, Prince Khalid stood in front of the curved command platform, and the projection cast the entire Persian Gulf theater's terrain onto the large screen!

He gave the order, and the "Desert Eagle" system instantly activated. On the screen, 2000 green dots lit up like stars and immediately began to move!

The real-time positions of all Saudi Arabian combat units connected to Beidou were constantly changing!

"Target locked, coordinated strike drill begins!"

At Prince Khalid's command, the giant screen in the command center split into dozens of battlefield views.

In the rocket launcher cluster position, the coordinates of 100 extended-range guided Guardian B-type Rocket Launcher positions flashed, and the fire control system automatically calculated the trajectory.

As the Prince approved the attack command, a fire cloud suddenly erupted over the simulated "enemy armored cluster" at the firing range 350 kilometers away!

The extended-range rockets, corrected by Beidou, covered the target with a circular error probability of ≤ 3 meters!

Extended-range rockets, costing one million US dollars each, were launched by the Saudi Arabian army in the "Desert Eagle" military exercise as if they were free!

At the same time, hundreds of 155mm self-propelled howitzers and 79A Main Battle Tanks formed a Steel Torrent, with their vehicle-mounted Beidou terminals marking enemy positions in real-time.

When the "Lightning Strike" plan was activated, the tank cluster began its charge, and the muzzles of the self-propelled howitzers simultaneously turned, adjusting their elevation based on data such as position and wind speed provided by Beidou. A volley instantly reduced the simulated fortress 30 kilometers away to ruins!

Then, 50 WZ-10s suddenly leaped from behind the dunes, and the Hong Jian (Red Arrow)-3 anti-tank missiles under their stub wings locked onto the fleeing "enemy remnants."

50 z-8 heavy transport helicopters dropped special reconnaissance teams, and soldiers, riding in Mengshi Protected Assault Vehicles, used Beidou terminals to encrypt and transmit battlefield intelligence.

The coordinates of hidden underground fortifications were immediately marked on the command center's large screen!

"Immediately mobilize the Guardian B-type Rocket Launcher positions to provide fire coverage for the hidden underground fortification coordinates!"

This time, King of Shato, Faisal, couldn't help but personally issue the order to mobilize troops to open fire!

The key was that the "Desert Eagle" command system customized by the Ministry of National Defense in Dragon Country was simply too effective!

Which unit was where, and how large the unit's fire coverage area was, were all displayed in real-time on the command interface!

This even made a military layman like King Faisal unable to resist commanding the troops, getting a taste of the action!

And after he finished commanding the troops to strike, the "Desert Eagle" command system also generated a battlefield report:

[Firepower Strike Assessment]

Firepower coordination error: 2.8 meters

Electronic suppression success rate: 98%

Unit battle damage exchange ratio: 1 : 22

At this moment, King Faisal and Defense Minister Khalid exchanged glances, both no longer able to conceal the shock in their hearts!

From today onwards, their Saudi Arabian military power will leap to become a regional hegemon in the Middle East!
