86: The heavy armored combined brigade directly confronts the Russian bear!

“The Beautiful Country actually wants to attract us to join NATO?”

“That’s simply wishful thinking!”

Marshal Xu Yong'an snorted coldly and said.

Although Dragon Country is currently facing a million-strong armored legion from the Bear Empire, seemingly at a dead end.

However, it is not something that the Beautiful Country can manipulate at will.

The high-ranking officials of Dragon Country and Marshal Xu Yong'an, how could they not understand the ulterior motives of the Beautiful Country and the White House?

Therefore, to be on the safe side, he personally came to the aerospace missile manufacturing branch factory in Yanjiao for inspection.

As Dragon Country’s trump card, the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile project must be foolproof.

“Chief, the manufacturing workshop for the Dongfeng-6 missile is hidden in the mountain gully stretching 20 kilometers in Yanjiao.”

Peng Lin led Marshal Xu Yong'an and introduced him.

Subsequently, the two switched to a Mengshi armored assault vehicle and drove towards the factory area ahead.

Inside the aerospace missile manufacturing branch factory, the workshops were built along the mountain terrain, with most of the factory buildings being single-story structures of green bricks and grey tiles, covered with camouflage nets on top, and surrounded by armed sentries patrolling day and night.

The Mengshi drove for about ten minutes and stopped in front of an enormous workshop.

“This is the final assembly line for the core area’s rocket engines!”

Peng Lin introduced.

At the same time, he led Marshal Xu to visit inside.

Inside the workshop, yellowed incandescent lights hung from the tens-of-meters-high dome, illuminating the entire space brightly.

And on the workshop walls, slogans like “Self-reliance and vigorous effort” were posted!

“Self-reliance and vigorous effort?”

Marshal Xu Yong'an couldn't help but read it aloud after seeing this phrase.

“That’s right, only through self-reliance can we make vigorous efforts!”

Peng Lin said with firm eyes.

Now, Dragon Country’s military industry has just started to pick up, with Changhe Factory developing a series of advanced weapons and equipment such as Mengshi, Shanmao, Weishi, Feinu, and Hongjian.

The Beautiful Country actually wants to completely destroy the future of Dragon Country’s military industry?

Under the seemingly huge temptation of profit, if Dragon Country agreed, that would be truly falling into the Beautiful Country’s trap!

First of all, could the Bear Empire really agree to NATO expanding to Siberia and their doorstep?

By then, Dragon Country would truly become a battlefield for military games between the Beautiful Country and the Bear Empire, becoming a proxy for the war between two world superpowers!

As for Dragon Country’s one billion people and 9.6 million square kilometers of territory, they would all become soldiers and battlefields!

The war between the Great Bear and the Second Bear in later generations, and the fate of the Second Bear, is a typical example!

Currently, in terms of Dragon Country’s national strength, in the eyes of the Beautiful Country and the Bear Empire, two world superpowers, it is not even as strong as the Second Bear!

Therefore, no matter when, Dragon Country must resolutely not give up its right to independent development!

Moreover, no matter what, in the final analysis, Dragon Country is a red country!

If it joins NATO at that time, due to the difference in color, many Western European countries would not genuinely accept Dragon Country.

To survive in NATO, Dragon Country would only be able to obey the Beautiful Country!

And although Dragon Country and the Bear Empire are currently at loggerheads, many red countries actually still regard Dragon Country as brothers and partners, and are immensely supportive of Dragon Country!

For example, countries like Yugoslavia, North Korea, Romania, and Albania all strongly oppose the Bear Empire’s great-power chauvinism and interference in the sovereignty of red countries!

If Dragon Country were to join NATO, it would be equivalent to stabbing all its current partner countries and friends in the back!

At that time, it would instead be collectively isolated by the East and West, and could only rely on the Beautiful Country!

“Ten years of sharpening a sword, we have finally reached the time to show its edge!”

Marshal Xu Yong'an observed everything in the workshop and walked forward.

The Dongfeng-6 project has been under development for more than ten years, and now that it is on the verge of success, his heart is also extremely excited!

As Marshal Xu walked through the workshop, he saw many precision large-scale lathes and boring machines.

Almost all the most advanced equipment imported by Dragon Country from the West has been allocated to the Dongfeng-6 project.

At this moment, workers are precisely measuring the rocket engine casing, which has a diameter of over 3 meters.

The four parallel combustion chambers of the rocket engine are hoisted beneath the gantry crane, while technicians inspect the hydraulic lines of its thrust vector control system.

The Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile is about to undergo its final assembly, and every step allows for not a single error.

Next, they moved from the rocket engine final assembly workshop to the fuel tank processing workshop.

Here, skilled workers are operating advanced five-axis milling machines, cutting high-strength aluminum-copper alloy into tank bodies with a thickness of only 3 millimeters.

Furthermore, Peng Lin developed the most advanced manufacturing technology, reducing the weight of the fuel tank by 30%!

During the manufacturing process, the fuel tank adopted a high-silica fabric oblique winding hot-pressing molding process, repeatedly tested in a high-temperature furnace, ultimately enabling the tank to withstand the strong corrosiveness of various chemical fuels!

Continuing to walk forward in the aerospace missile manufacturing branch factory, security measures permeated the entire workshop.

Upon entering the core area, they needed to pass through three access control points. Both Peng Lin and Marshal Xu Yong'an had to wear specialbuckle-free white coats to prevent metal foreign objects from falling into the engine.

All technical drawings were sealed in kraft paper and handled by designated personnel for dispatch and reception.

Even during break times, workers were not allowed to discuss work content, and the workshop broadcast repeatedly played the warning: “Protecting national secrets is protecting the people’s interests!”

It is no exaggeration to say that every system here, and the development of every advanced component, is infused with Peng Lin’s sweat, placing it at the forefront of global intercontinental missile technology!

Of course, the tens of thousands of skilled workers, core technical backbone, and engineers at the aerospace missile manufacturing branch factory are also dedicating everything to the Dongfeng-6 project!

This is also why the Dongfeng-6 project, after Peng Lin took over, was able to quickly overcome hundreds of key technologies such as high-thrust engines and inertial guidance, and rapidly complete it!

Two hours later, Marshal Xu Yong'an and Peng Lin walked out of the workshop, chatting and laughing.

“This is truly a modern industrial miracle!”

“I am now incredibly relieved!”

He said with deep emotion.

Under Peng Lin's construction, all production equipment and manufacturing systems at the aerospace missile manufacturing branch factory have completely aligned with those of the Bear Empire and the Beautiful Country, entering an incredibly advanced modern stage.

As long as the Dongfeng-6 test launch is successful, large-scale production can immediately commence rapidly!

“Chief, I heard that the Bear Empire’s embassy sent us a message, inviting our Dragon Country to send military observers to participate in their ‘Vostok-Dark Action’ military exercise held on our border?”

After the visit, Peng Lin also asked Marshal Xu Yong'an.

“Yes, not only us, the Bear Empire has also extended invitations to the Beautiful Country and many NATO countries!”

“Their goal is to hold the largest military exercise in global history, to deter the entire world!”

“Besides sending a million-strong armored corps as the ‘Red Army’ to participate in the exercise, the Bear also designated the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army as the ‘Blue Army’ simulating our Dragon Country, with a troop size of approximately 120,000 men!”

“This unit is equipped with 1,200 T-62 tanks, 800 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, and 300 self-propelled artillery pieces!”

“The structure of this army group completely mimics our Dragon Country’s ten elite Category A divisions deployed in the north!”

“In addition, there are about 20,000 men from Poland’s 16th Armored Division and about 15,000 men from East Germany’s 7th Motorized Infantry Division as auxiliary forces, who will simulate our seven ‘light combined brigades’!”

“These units will employ our Z-8 rapid descent and all-domain maneuver tactics during the exercise, giving the Bear’s ‘Red Army’ practice!”

“The Bear’s painstaking efforts to simulate our army are to demonstrate to the entire world how to launch a blitzkrieg on Yanjing, to deter our country!”

“Therefore, our country’s October 1st military parade is especially important. The new heavy combined brigades and army aviation brigades must all make an appearance; we must respond!”

Marshal Xu Yong'an said to Peng Lin with a solemn expression.

However, Peng Lin appeared quite calm after hearing these words.

Because this news is currently known globally; the Bear Empire has extended invitations to all major countries worldwide to send military observers to watch the exercise.

“Chief, can I be sent as the Dragon Country’s representative to the Bear’s ‘Vostok-Dark Action’ military exercise as a military observer?”

Peng Lin continued to ask.

“No, absolutely not!”

“Your safety is more important than any military operation; this is what Zheng Gong repeatedly emphasized to me!”

Marshal Xu Yong'an was first stunned by Peng Lin’s words, then shook his head in resolute refusal.

“Chief, what I mean is, after participating in the National Day parade, let me go with the heavy combined brigade, the army aviation brigade, and the Mengshi combined brigade to participate in the Bear’s ‘Vostok-Dark Action’ military exercise!”

“Didn’t the Bear Empire specifically allocate 150,000 troops to play the ‘Blue Army’ and simulate our army?”

“Perfect! We can communicate with them and directly send two units to act as the ready-made ‘Blue Army’ for a confrontation exercise!”

“After all, as the ‘big brother,’ we have participated in bilateral cooperation military exercises organized by the Bear Empire before!”

Peng Lin looked at Marshal Xu and stated his true purpose.
