92: Chapter 92 China's Five-Year Scientific Research Plan! Blow it up, blow it as hard as you can!
It wasn't until people started exclaiming one after another that everyone else snapped out of their daze and quickly joined in the chorus of gasps.
"Too strong, it's truly too strong! This is a god-like combat plan!"
"OMG! Armored soldiers descending from the heavens—it's miraculous, truly a miracle!"
"Incredible, simply incredible! This has completely changed the current combat mode of modern warfare on Blue Star!"
"..."
All the media reporters at the scene exclaimed loudly, unable to hold back their awe, as it was the only way to alleviate the intense shock they felt!
Only by watching this first-person perspective of the actual combat could one truly feel just how monstrous the combat plan of China's maritime live-fire exercise and the terrifying power of that Exoskeleton Armor really were!
No wonder they dared to call it "Divine Soldiers Descending from the Heavens"!
The Chinese public watching the live broadcast erupted in excitement, falling into a state of unparalleled fervor!
"Dragon Army divine soldiers are invincible! Dragon Army divine soldiers are invincible!"
"Divine soldiers descending from the heavens! Magnificent is our China!"
"China will win, long live the people of China!!!"
"..."
Meanwhile, the leadership of countries around the world, along with their top military brass, were watching the live press conference, and the shock they felt was even greater!
When exactly did China develop those ten new-style fighter jets?
Why could they fly to an altitude of 100,000 meters? That's beyond the troposphere!
Without sufficient oxygen, how were the fighter jet engines ignited and running?
And! Why was it that when these fighter jets and armored soldiers flew right over their heads, so many naval warships, including aircraft carriers, didn't react at all?! Was their radar system broken?!
Too many questions, completely unable to be explained by Science!
But no one could answer them.
At the press conference.
On stage, General Li Jingwu watched the stunned crowd and chuckled inwardly.
This is nothing! The real shock is yet to come!
He coughed twice and said: "I think this video is enough to answer the previous question from the CNN reporter from the US!"
"Next!"
"Let's have the reporter from the United Kingdom's BBS ask a question!"
The BBS reporter was a tall, blonde, blue-eyed beauty. As everyone's gaze shifted toward her, she felt slightly uncomfortable.
These gazes were not the usual lustful ones; it was as if they were shouting, "Woman, you better ask a good question!"
The BBS reporter swallowed hard and asked in broken Chinese.
"Res... Respected General Li Jingwu!"
"First, I want to say that the Chinese Dragon Army soldiers are truly heroic!"
"Having been a military reporter for so many years, this is the first time I have exclaimed with such sincerity from the bottom of my heart!"
After expressing her inner feelings, the BBS reporter continued.
"As for the question, I really find it hard to choose!"
"Because after watching the video, I believe not only me, but also all the other reporter friends, have too many questions we want to ask..."
"If I have to choose one, I think the aspect everyone wants to know about most is the core of this combat plan: those ten new-style fighter jets!"
"The performance of these fighter jets has clearly reached a level that transcends the times. Why hasn't China released any news about them before?"
"Dear General Li Jingwu, what I want to ask is, when were these new-style fighter jets of China developed?"
"What is their performance exactly? Are there any specific parameters that can be released?"
Well asked! The other media reporters thought to themselves.
This BBS reporter was worthy of being a reporter who had worked on the military front lines for years; the question really hit the key point!
Thus, everyone cast their expectant gazes toward General Li Jingwu.
General Li Jingwu smiled slightly and replied calmly.
"BBS reporter friend, the reason why we in China didn't announce it before is actually very simple."
"Because this is just a very insignificant minor achievement within our grand plan; there was absolutely no need to announce it to the outside world!"
Having said that, General Li Jingwu shook his head and sighed: "Sigh!"
"Ever since we in China formulated the Huaxia Future Five-Year Scientific Research Plan, the progress of various major projects has been very slow, and I have been criticized and educated by my superiors many times!"
"As the Chief of the General Armament Department of the China Supreme Military Region, I am the person primarily responsible, and I am truly to blame!"
"I myself have fallen into deep self-reproach; I have truly failed to live up to the expectations of the vast Chinese people!"
"In such a situation, how could our General Armament Department have the nerve to announce it to the outside world?"
Listening to General Li Jingwu's words, Lin Mo, who was watching the press conference remotely, laughed out loud.
Brag! Brag as hard as you can!
The top leadership of China who knew the inside story watched the live broadcast of the press conference and saw General Li Jingwu's dramatic yet clumsy performance, shaking their heads while laughing.
This General Li Jingwu really has a knack for playing it awkward!
Meanwhile, at the press conference, the media reporters, who were kept in the dark, were completely baffled by General Li Jingwu's words.
What do you mean by a minor achievement? An epoch-making fighter jet technology, and you tell me it's a minor achievement?
What do you mean by a grand plan? What the hell is the Huaxia Future Five-Year Scientific Research Plan?
What is wrong with this world?
The BBS reporter couldn't help but ask again.
"General Li Jingwu, you mentioned the Huaxia Future Five-Year Scientific Research Plan. It seems like China has never had any related reports about it before?"
"If it's convenient, could you please enlighten us!"
General Li Jingwu on stage hesitated slightly.
"This is just an internal future scientific research plan of ours in China. After all, it has only just started, and nothing has been accomplished yet, so let's not talk about it..."
"We in China have never had the habit of talking about things before they are even started."
General Li Jingwu's refusal was loose, and the eyes of all the media reporters lit up!
Hey, there's a chance!
As people who often dealt with the Chinese military, they could naturally distinguish what was absolutely off-limits and what could be pried out!
General Li Jingwu's excuse, saying that China didn't have the habit of talking about things in advance... but habits, that's something that can be changed at any time!
The BBS reporter, face full of excitement, continued to press: "Dear General Li Jingwu, you are truly too modest!"
"The minor achievement you speak of is not minor at all!"
"An epoch-making new fighter jet technology is a revolutionary achievement capable of changing the world landscape!"
"If even this kind of technology is considered a minor achievement, then what exactly is China's grand plan planning?"
"So many of us media reporter friends here today are most concerned about this!"
"Please, I urge you to reconsider and reveal some specific details about the Huaxia Future Five-Year Scientific Research Plan; we really want to know!"
Despite the BBS reporter's pleading, General Li Jingwu on stage still shook his head, but he had already loosened up quite a bit.
"Not appropriate, not appropriate..."
"How could we in China dare to announce such things that haven't even begun to take shape?"
"By then, countries around the world would only think that we in China are bragging and talking nonsense, which would have a very bad impact on China!"
"Let's wait until we achieve milestone results before talking about it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the other media reporters became anxious! Everyone started speaking up one after another.
They all demanded that General Li Jingwu reveal at least a little bit about what the Huaxia Future Five-Year Scientific Research Plan actually contained, even if it was just a small part!
The CCTV reporter, who had been briefed beforehand, also smiled and persuaded: "Respected Chief Li,"
"Since this plan of ours in China has already produced results and has had a certain degree of exposure, why don't you just reveal some basic information!"
"Otherwise, we in China won't be able to give the public an explanation."
General Li Jingwu pretended to think, then finally gritted his teeth and feigned difficulty: "Fine!"
"But I can't reveal too much, I'll just say a little bit!"
