87: Chief: Provide Peng Lin with protection from the Central Guard Corps!

Peng Lin actually wanted to bring the Heavy Combined Arms Brigade to participate in the Bear Country's military exercise and act as the "Blue Army" to directly confront the Bear Country's forces?

After understanding Peng Lin's true intentions, Marshal Xu Yong'an couldn't help but be greatly shocked!

The Kremlin of the Bear Country Empire amassed a million-strong armored army, with the goal of intimidating Dragon Country with its powerful military might and steel torrent!

But Peng Lin, going against convention, proactively requested to participate in the Bear Country's military exercise, sending the most elite Heavy Combined Arms Brigade into Bear Country territory, letting Bear Country intimidate itself!

Facing this situation, let alone Marshal Xu Yong'an, even if the Bear Country side were to learn of this news, they would probably be utterly bewildered!

Because even the Bear Country had never encountered an opponent who made such a request!

"Since the Bear Country wants to use military force to intimidate and coerce our Dragon Country, then we might as well give the Kremlin this opportunity!"

"This time, the Bear Country's Ministry of Defense has assembled a million-strong armored steel torrent from its own country and the entire Warsaw Pact; it's difficult for us to organize a military exercise of equivalent scale in response!"

"Even if we were to forcefully organize such a million-strong military exercise, it would be too costly and detrimental to the people!"

"So, rather than falling into a 'self-validation trap,' we might as well take the initiative!"

"Let's go head-to-head with the world's number one military power and see whose 'steel torrent' and 'fist' are harder!"

Peng Lin gazed northwards and said.

"Two armies of steel torrents confronting each other head-on in front of the whole world?"

Listening to Peng Lin's idea, Marshal Xu Yong'an also became incredibly excited.

What is a "steel torrent" competition about?

Isn't it about whose firepower is fiercer, whose armor is tougher, and whose tanks are the strongest!

If it were before, confronting the world's recognized number one land army, the Dragon Country military would certainly lack confidence.

After all, the Bear Country Empire's army tanks had already developed to the third-generation main battle tanks, the T-72 and T-80.

In contrast, Dragon Country was still using the Type 59 tank, aImitation of the T-54A tank that the Bear Country had long since phased out.

As the king of land warfare, in this most important single comparison, the Dragon Country army was thoroughly defeated.

But now, Dragon Country's 99A heavy main battle tank absolutely outperforms the Bear Country Empire's most advanced T-80 in all aspects!

As for long-range precision heavy firepower like the 155mm howitzer and the "Guardian" rocket launcher, they are even more overwhelmingly superior!

Moreover, when all these advanced heavy firepower weapons form the Heavy Combined Arms Brigade!

Marshal Xu Yong'an felt a chill in his heart after personally inspecting its terrifying strength and combat power!

Because such a unit is naturally born for large-scale group operations!

"According to my original idea, this Heavy Combined Arms Brigade was only meant to debut in the National Day grand military parade!"

"I didn't expect you to be even bolder than me, actually wanting to go directly to Bear Country's territory and fight the big brother!"

"Before, among our country's high-level officials and military, I always prided myself on being a radical, often getting into heated arguments with some conservatives!"

"But now it seems, my radical ideas are far too conservative compared to yours!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an looked at Peng Lin and said with deep emotion.

"Chief, do you approve of my plan?"

Peng Lin was pleasantly surprised to hear Marshal Xu's words.

Because, according to his understanding of Marshal Xu Yong'an, the other party had clearly agreed to his plan.

"This matter is too significant for me alone to decide."

"I must report it to Zheng Gong, and the high-level meeting will deliberate and make the final decision."

"But one thing I can confirm is that I support your idea!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an smiled and said to Peng Lin.

Although this idea is incredibly bold and radical, if it can be successfully executed, it will definitely deliver a fatal, "pulling the rug out from under" blow to the Bear Country Empire!

With major global countries dispatching military observers to the Bear Country's "Vostok - Dark Action" military exercise this time.

If the Bear Country loses the confrontation, then their grand and supposedly largest-ever military exercise will have its deterrence effect completely nullified!

At that time, what capital will the Bear Country Empire have to coerce Dragon Country to retreat and yield in the Afghanistan battlefield with so-called military pressure?

Furthermore, Dragon Country still has a trump card up its sleeve: using the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile to prevent the Bear Country Empire from acting recklessly if it can't accept defeat, like a "cornered dog jumping over the wall"!

After all, as the entry ticket to the club of global strategic nuclear powers, the intercontinental missile's deterrent power is not just talk!

"Wait for my news!"

"I will notify you immediately if there's any development!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an finished speaking and left immediately, unable to wait.

Clearly, he was preparing to report and discuss this matter with Zheng Gong... After Marshal Xu left the Aerospace Missile Manufacturing Sub-factory, Peng Lin continued to supervise the final assembly of the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile.

Due to the enormous size of the intercontinental missile, with a single rocket engine diameter reaching 3.35 meters, it is very difficult to transport as a whole.

Therefore, at the initial design stage of the Dongfeng-6, Peng Lin implemented an incredibly advanced modular design, breaking it down into various detachable components based on function.

This way, massive rocket engines, fuel tanks, guidance systems, and so on, can be transported to the launch site via dedicated railway flatcars or heavy-duty road tractors.

"Within three days, after all components are assembled, comprehensive testing must be carried out to ensure the foolproof functioning of every feature and part!"

"Additionally, quickly liaise with relevant departments of the Ministry of Defense for the military to be responsible for full escort during transport!"

"Also, the final assembly plant at the launch site is already equipped with a 300-ton gantry crane, sufficient to hoist and connect 200-ton missile sections!"

"Therefore, once all components arrive at the launch site, final assembly must be completed quickly according to the predetermined procedures, and a full system joint test must be conducted to troubleshoot any potential malfunctions..."

Peng Lin convened a meeting with the subordinate heads of the Dongfeng-6 project and meticulously assigned tasks.

Now that the intercontinental missile has reached the final assembly stage, even greater caution and foolproof measures are required!

Because the success or failure of the Dongfeng-6 will directly involve the struggle for national destiny!

...September 20th.

Peng Lin received a notification from Marshal Xu and went to the Ministry of Defense.

As soon as they met, the other party nodded to him solemnly.

"Zheng Gong has agreed!"

"We will send a letter to the Kremlin, stating our demands!"

Marshal Xu, with a smile, said to Peng Lin.

"After multiple consultations among high-level leaders, it has been decided to make certain changes to this year's grand military parade ceremony!"

"Previously, inspected troops were always reviewed in a 'ceremonial' manner!"

"But this year, the Heavy Combined Arms Brigade, Army Aviation Brigade, and other units participating in the Bear Country military exercise will all participate in the national grand military parade ceremony in combat posture!"

"After the troops are reviewed by the people on the parade ground, they will head directly to the northern 'battlefield'!"

"However, besides that, Zheng Gong also has a condition for you!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an said, looking at Peng Lin.

"A condition for me?"

Peng Lin asked, a little puzzled.

"That's right, Zheng Gong requested that a unit be dispatched from the Central Guard Regiment to be responsible for your close personal protection!"

"This is an order, and you must obey it!"

"No matter what, your safety cannot be compromised!"

"Additionally, he also told you something: Dragon Country belongs to our generation, but it also belongs to your generation!"

"But ultimately, Dragon Country belongs to your generation!"

"So, go ahead and do it boldly, young man, the country will always be your strongest backing!"

"He has full confidence in you and the future of Dragon Country!"

Marshal Xu patted Peng Lin's shoulder and said.
