Chapter 808: New Weapon
He Yuzhu finally managed to get through to Liu Rusi using the Satellite Phone; he had barely shouted "Sister" when the other end of the line exploded.
"You brat, you haven't contacted me in over a month, isn't that going too far?" Liu Rusi started off with fire in her voice. "Do you know how many things I've wanted to tell you? And another thing, you never called, so we all thought you were killed in action! I haven't been able to sleep well a single night, and I look like I've aged several years..."
He Yuzhu hurriedly explained: "Sister, I'm sorry! It's not that I didn't want to contact you, it's that spies have infiltrated our side—some from M Country, and some from Mossad. I heard M Country can track Satellite Phones, so I was afraid that if I made a call, I'd expose our location and get us all wiped out in one go."
"Don't make excuses!" Liu Rusi wasn't buying it at all. "With your skills, you can't even make a phone call? Not even a ghost would believe that!"
He Yuzhu chuckled twice.
This time, Liu Rusi didn't hold back, scolding him for a full five minutes straight.
He Yuzhu waited honestly until she finished scolding before speaking: "Sister, this phone bill is super expensive, let's get to the point. Does Secretary Liu have any instructions?"
Only then did Liu Rusi realize—every extra minute on the line added to He Yuzhu's danger. She took a deep breath, and her tone changed: "Fine, I'll keep it brief. The general direction from above is that they don't want Sashi to fall. Even if he is bombed or weakened, it's best to keep his regime in place. Let him be the vanguard against M Country. The situation in the Soviet Union has stabilized for now... this is most advantageous for us."
After listening, He Yuzhu nodded: "The meaning from above is about the same as what I thought. But to achieve this goal, I still need to sink two or three aircraft carriers. But those carriers have gotten smart; they're all drifting in the open sea and won't go to port at all."
Liu Rusi pondered for a moment and said: "Zhuzi, since the aircraft carriers need supplies even on the open sea, why don't you target the supply ships?"
He Yuzhu's eyes lit up: "Sister, you're absolutely right! But if I do that, the timeline will have to be extended, maybe by two months. I'm just afraid Babylon won't be able to withstand this wave of air raids..."
Liu Rusi added: "I think you've been in the desert so long you've gone muddled. You don't necessarily have to go bomb the aircraft carriers. You could take the Missile Launchers and infrared guidance systems off their planes and set them up on land to shoot down planes."
He Yuzhu was instantly delighted: "That's great! To tell you the truth, I have indeed collected quite a few of their missiles and planes, but I really hadn't thought about dismantling the Missile Launchers to use on the ground. Your words have really enlightened me!"
On the other end of the line, hearing his happy tone, Liu Rusi couldn't help but smile herself: "Sigh, if I can still be of some help to you, I'm quite happy too. But I have to tell you, something has happened at home."
He Yuzhu's heart tightened: "What happened?"
Liu Rusi sneered: "Your precious son He Zheng took all the family assets and negotiated a big deal with the Russians, wanting to trade for ten Tu-154 planes. As a result, he got backstabbed. It seems there are people from Cheng Shao in his company. The contract was signed, but the goods couldn't be shipped—all the railcars for the next three months were booked up by Cheng Shao."
He Yuzhu sighed: "Sigh... honestly, I really do want him to lose everything this time."
Liu Rusi advised: "I think you should still help him out. If he loses several hundred million this time, you might not care about the money, but the blow to him would be too great; he might never be able to hold his head up again. If you can help him this time, I think he'll learn his lesson in the future."
He Yuzhu said irritably: "Do you know? This brat is fine in other respects, but his gambling nature is too strong; he always wants to bite off more than he can chew. Let me think about whether I'll go back."
After hanging up on Liu Rusi, He Yuzhu took a deep breath and turned to dive into his own space.
Over these years, He Yuzhu had already set up a full set of machine tool equipment in his space capable of manufacturing any military product, comparable to a large factory.
Inside were parked over a dozen Fighter Jets, including F-14s and Hornets.
He dismantled the missile racks and fire-control aiming components from the F-14s and F-16s, welded them onto truck chassis, connected the circuits, and loaded them with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.
This idea was simply invincible—he couldn't help but admire Liu Rusi; such a clever trick, and he hadn't thought of it himself.
After finishing one Missile Launcher, he personally drove it out over a hundred kilometers.
In three days, he shot down sixteen planes!
When He Yuzhu drove back, he was grinning from ear to ear.
This is what you call using their own spear to attack their own shield.
Those M Country people would never dream that one day their missiles would fall into someone else's hands and become the sharp sword that kills them.
He also had to marvel that the military power of M Country at this time was truly advanced—this Sidewinder missile didn't need a large Radar at all; as long as the seeker locked onto the heat source of the plane's engine, it would chase the plane on its own after being launched.
He went straight back to the base. At this time, Sadake was drinking tea in the tent. Seeing him enter, he looked up and asked: "Ali—no, wait, Hasan, where did you run off to?"
"I brought back something good for you." He Yuzhu leaned back in his chair. "With this thing, we don't even need to go to the high seas to find those aircraft carriers; we can just take out their planes directly."
Sadake's eyes lit up instantly: "You mean, we can shoot down their planes from the ground?"
He Yuzhu nodded: "I dismantled the original gear from the F-16s and F-14s, modified the base, and it can be fixed to a truck chassis. One truck carries one set, and the mobility isn't bad."
The more Sadake heard, the more excited he became, and his speech quickened: "Hasan, if we can really get ten sets of these launchers and missiles set up at the border, the M Country planes won't dare to bomb so rampantly. The people won't have to suffer so much either."
He Yuzhu nodded: "I have one set on hand now, I'll teach you how to use it first. I'll go make more later. Send someone to pick up this batch of devices in two days, and be sure to keep a tight watch on those two spies."
Sadake couldn't sit still anymore: "Hurry and take me to see it."
He Yuzhu took Sadake out over thirty kilometers before finding that Missile Launcher behind a sand dune.
Sadake walked up and stroked this Missile Launcher that didn't look very pretty; the way he did it so carefully was just like touching a baby.
This thing was indeed not good-looking—many parts were manually welded by He Yuzhu.
Sadake believed even more now that He Yuzhu didn't have any special supernatural powers, but was purely smart and had strong hands-on skills.
He asked: "How is the range of this thing?"
He Yuzhu said: "The effective range is over forty kilometers. But it's best to build a sturdy bunker, otherwise, once we shoot down one plane, the other planes will come back and bomb you."
Sadake grinned: "Hasan, I'll take care of these things. I might as well tell you now, we have prepared for many years for this war. There are plenty of sturdy bunkers in the desert."
"That's great." He Yuzhu patted the launcher. "You can drive this thing back, I'll teach you now, and then you can teach them. I'm going to go make more launchers. Send someone to pick up this batch of devices in two days, and be sure to keep a tight watch on those two spies."
