Chapter 3319 China Doesn't Have This Ability
Federal Republic of Germany, Durham Military Base.
This is a vast military base, with large areas around it retaining their original geographical features, forming a stark contrast with the high-rise buildings in the city center.
But here, there are abundant resources comparable to an entire city, countless riches, and the power to destroy the entire city.
This place is a country within a country.
This place is off-limits to the West Germans.
Under the sunlight, the number of soldiers patrolling the area had noticeably increased. What was originally just a routine task now looked grim, and the soldiers gripped their weapons so tightly that their hands were sweaty.
Many people shout "God bless!" while on patrol.
On the runway on one side of the base, rows of F104 and F111 fighter jets, which should have been in the hangar, were now ready to take off at any time.
On the other side, the base's radar room was operating at full capacity, capturing any signals that might appear in the surrounding area.
After the base went on high alert, the surrounding patrol personnel increased their patrols, and no one was allowed to approach the base.
At this moment, in the lounge deep inside the base, Smith sat on the sofa with a cup of iced coffee in front of him.
Across from them, Professor Hogg was organizing data to understand the balloon's movement.
Smith picked up his coffee cup, took a small sip, and then his gaze fell on the world map hanging on the wall not far away.
In that region, three lines drawn in red are gradually extending.
The bottom one has already entered Kazakhstan through the Alliance, and judging from the route, it should be passing over the Alliance's launch site.
If this line were to extend further, it would enter from the northwest of China and exit from the southeast.
It traverses the entire land of China.
The remaining two are still within the Alliance territory, but judging from their trajectory, they are likely to pass through the Alliance, then through China, and eventually into the Pacific Ocean.
Three balloons, three routes.
It basically met the expected goals.
Of course, this is only half the goal.
To achieve the objective, the balloon must be successfully retrieved; only then can the information inside the balloon be obtained.
Otherwise, it would be a wasted trip.
"so perfect."
Professor Hogg suddenly spoke up with a sigh, and Smith put down his coffee cup and looked up.
His gaze lingered on the documents in Professor Hogg's hand, and curiosity arose in his heart.
Before Smith could ask any questions, Professor Hogg quickly took the documents to the map, then picked up a red pen from the table and began searching for latitude and longitude coordinates on the map. Once he found them, he immediately started connecting the lines on the map.
Smith got up and walked to the map, then watched as Professor Hogg put the red pen aside and smiled smugly, “This is even more perfect than our original design.”
He turned to look at Smith and said, "You know what?"
"In previous years, we usually started releasing the little boys in November. Why?"
Because that was the time when the sun...
Smith listened patiently as Professor Hogg reviewed the previous 'theoretical knowledge' again, even though he already knew it by heart, he still listened patiently to the end.
Only after Professor Hogg finished speaking with satisfaction did he turn the topic to the present, "We didn't expect that there would be an airflow in the upper stratosphere that could move south in August."
"Moreover, the airflow is not fast, which allows the fully automatic high-definition camera on the balloon to capture clearer images and makes the photoelectric sensors more sensitive."
Then came another round of sighs, until Professor Hogg's throat was dry from talking. He then picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and continued, "I think we could try conducting high-altitude reconnaissance in August."
"If the reconnaissance is successful."
Smith's gaze lingered on the three lines for a moment, then he looked at Professor Hogg. "So, this balloon can just pass over the Alliance's satellite launch site, making the situation below crystal clear?"
Professor Hogg nodded. "That's for sure, and we understand that the weather there was excellent at the time."
"Believe me, once we get the equipment from this little boy, we'll get all the Alliance's deployments around that base."
"This will be a very, very successful reconnaissance operation."
Smith nodded, then shrugged. "It's not necessarily a success, after all, our balloon was spotted as soon as it went in."
Upon hearing this, Professor Hogg adjusted his glasses and then stared at Smith. "I can guarantee that our newly developed Little Boy can evade most radar detections."
“Such small and adorable creatures are difficult for the Alliance’s radar to detect, and even if they are detected, they will be mistaken for birds.”
"But the alliance just happened to discover it. Don't you find that strange?"
Smith narrowed his eyes, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing strange about that. After all, how many balloons have been discovered over the years?"
"We are making progress, and the league is not standing still either."
Professor Hogg still felt something was amiss. After a moment of silence, Smith laughed again, "But even if they find out, so what?"
"But they still couldn't take it down, could they?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Hogg laughed along, and in an instant, the two were like best buddies, almost ready to hug and sing together.
"Our next stop should be China."
Smith looked at the bottom red line. "Are you confident?"
Professor Hogg set his coffee cup aside. "Confidence? Are you kidding me?"
"You know, even the league can't do anything about our little boy, China?"
"They are even less likely to."
Faced with Professor Hogg's confidence, Smith was much more cautious. "Hogg, I must remind you of something."
"The Blue Horse of China is an aircraft that we still do not fully understand, and its performance is still uncertain."
"just in case"
"Hey buddy, there's no 'what if'."
Professor Hogg interrupted him directly, "I've studied that Blue Ghost, and I've discovered that it uses a turbojet engine."
"A turbojet engine!"
"This type of aircraft needs to enter with enough smoke to generate powerful thrust."
"But at altitudes above 30,000 meters, the air becomes thin and oxygen is scarce, making it difficult to gain upward momentum."
"And that blue ghost, you can tell at a glance that the plane is quite heavy, flying at 40,000 meters?"
"They don't have that ability."
Hearing Professor Hogg speak so confidently, Smith's expression softened. "It seems you've prepared very thoroughly, Professor."
Professor Hogg smiled smugly and said, "Of course."
"This little boy embodies the essence of our entire project team."
"This time, we can not only fly at an altitude of 40,000 meters, but also perform maneuvering evasive maneuvers, and if necessary, go up another 1,000 meters."
"In short, we have absolutely no need to worry about that Chinese aircraft."
Smith smiled, then looked at the world map on the wall again, finally settling his gaze on the northwestern desert.
"This is still an area we've never set foot in before."
Hogg walked over, his face beaming with excitement. "Smith, their research base should be over there, right?"
"If we manage to film it, will you offer a reward?"
Upon hearing this, Smith said solemnly, "Professor Hogg, I can tell you this with absolute certainty."
"Even if you only capture an edge or a single point, we will give you a reward of one million."
"It's one, one million."
Professor Hogg's serious expression startled him, then his face lit up with excitement. "Really?"
"really."
Smith stated definitively, "And this wasn't my statement; it was guaranteed by the government."
"why?"
Professor Hogg was puzzled. Even when they scouted the Alliance's launch site, they didn't receive such treatment. Why did it change when they came to China? Upon hearing this, Smith gave a wry smile, "Because we know nothing about that place."
Professor Hogg opened his mouth, then said confidently, "Then get the money ready."
"My little boy will definitely find it."
Smith walked to the side, picked up his coffee cup, and nodded with a smile. "I'll be waiting for your good news."
Da da da~~~
Suddenly, the base's alarm sounded, followed by a knock on the door. A base officer rushed in. "Sir, our radar has detected two aircraft, they should be Soyuz MiG-25s!"
Smith waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
After the base officer left, Smith smiled at Professor Hogg and said, "See? They're still the same as before, sore losers."
Professor Hogg shrugged. "Isn't it better to stay the same as before?"
"It's all impotent rage."
After saying that, they both laughed.
League, Susco.
Gorzensky looked at the report that Constantine had brought him and threw it to the ground.
"Is this the result of your investigation?"
"Is this how we explain things to our superiors?"
Constantine was sweating profusely and stood to the side, too afraid to move.
"And this is the prepared response plan?"
"Just cover it with camouflage netting and pretend you can't see it?"
"Idiot, do you even know what's above your head?"
"satellite!"
What's on the satellite?
"A tungsten rod!"
As soon as he finished speaking, cold sweat soaked through Constantine's lining.
If the coordinates of the air launch base were exposed, the enemy could use air-based weapons to carry out precision strikes.
Unless it will no longer be used in the future, the best solution is to relocate.
But how can such a large aviation base be relocated?
That's all money.
The problem is, their alliance is really short of money.
Even if the printing presses are working overtime to produce money right now.
"Sir, we have another way."
Constantine took a deep breath and hurriedly asked, "What method?" Gorzenfsky frowned slightly, "What method?"
"gentlemen."
"Right now, this balloon is just for reconnaissance, it only leaves images in the machine, it doesn't actually reach them."
Gotzensky's eyes lit up, as if he understood Constantine's meaning.
"You mean, intercept it before it falls?"
"Yes, it doesn't necessarily mean interception; if necessary, it can be destroyed."
“They might even destroy the containers they collect.”
A ruthless look appeared on Constantine's face.
These damn balloons have given them a real hard time.
These days I've done nothing but revolve around these three balloons.
With planes constantly following them from the sky, personnel on the ground constantly monitoring them, and they also having to endure constant criticism from their superiors, it's no wonder they're in a bad mood.
Gotzensky nodded in satisfaction. "If we can't do anything about them from the sky, we'll just have to wait for them to fall down before dealing with them."
"That's a good idea. I'll report it to my superiors."
Seeing that his superiors had adopted his suggestion, Constantine breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the higher-ups agree, how and where to eliminate the balloon is someone else's business.
"By the way, sir."
Constantine suddenly spoke up, "There's something else we should pay attention to."
Gotzensky looked up. "Speak!"
"Sir, we need to consider the situation in China. What if, I mean, what if they take it?"
Upon hearing this, Gotzenfsky stood up and said, "We have already mentioned this to our superiors, and they have organized a group of experts to conduct an assessment, but the result is the same as ours."
"They don't have that capability."
Constantine nodded in agreement, though he didn't really believe the other party had the ability.
"Go and make the arrangements; make sure to track the balloon."
"Yes!"
Constantine turned and left; he had passed this hurdle.
After Constantine left, Gotzensky pondered for a moment before picking up the red phone on the table and making a call.
The call was answered quickly, followed by a slightly aged voice, "Who is this?"
"Sir, it is I, Gotzenfsky."
"Well, how did your discussion go?"
The old man asked, and Gotzenfsky quickly replied, "Sir, with our current strength, we have no way to destroy the balloon."
"So, we plan to sabotage the balloon as it falls, which will damage the equipment inside and keep the secret."
The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "It's a clumsy method, but it's still a method."
"Yes, but this matter requires cooperation from China."
"We need their cooperation. It would be best to send our people in to follow the balloon so that we can track it in time, determine its landing point, and not give the United States any chance."
"China?"
"Yes, and there might be a need there in Beian as well."
The old man's voice was solemn, and then he added, "I will arrange for someone to contact them."
"I believe they wouldn't want their secrets to be discovered either."
"Yes, our interests are aligned on this matter."
After the call ended, Gorzenfsky hung up.
From beginning to end, they never thought that China would intercept the balloon within its borders.
Moreover, according to their plan, China should agree to their request.
This also presents an opportunity for the relationship between the two sides to deepen, and for their alliance to gain a dominant position.
This opportunity, given the opponent's continuous rise and strength, is a shot in the arm for the alliance!
After hanging up the phone, Gorzensky pondered for a moment and then dialed the number again.
"I am Gorzenfsky."
"Tell me, where is balloon number one now?"
After a brief pause on the phone, a clear voice came through: "Hello, Comrade Gotsenvsky, Balloon No. 1 has now reached the central region of Kazakhstan and is expected to arrive in China the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, continue monitoring."
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Gotzenfsky took a deep breath and looked out at the bright sunshine. "I hope they won't refuse this time."
