Chapter 672 They Will Never Be Able to Do It
Under such conditions, the other side naturally knew nothing about news like War Drum No. 2.

We may know the news, but we are completely unaware of the specific details.

There is no way. We could still look from the sky before, but now all the eyes in the sky have been poked out, so we can only wait for us to make the announcement.

"Oh no! The other side has ground-to-ground missiles! This is the news that just came in, and it was announced in the Daily News." An intelligence officer rushed into his boss' office with the secret message he had just translated.

These decades-old rivals still have great faith in our credibility. When we say we don’t have it, it may not be true, but when we say we have it, it definitely exists.

"Keep calm. Even if there are missiles, they won't fall on you or me." The boss said calmly while looking at the intelligence.

He is worthy of being an official. Although he is a low-level official in the intelligence system, his ability to cultivate his energy is better than that of his subordinates.

"Sir, when have they ever held back when beating people?" If before it was only those on the ground who were pinned down and beaten, now it is those who swim in the water and fly in the sky. Whenever the other side has something new, they will take it out and greet them head-on with great enthusiasm.

Anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles, and now ground-to-ground missiles are also available.

The boss put the intelligence on the table and scolded, "Idiot! You are an intelligence officer, but you have no analytical ability at all! Don't you see the range? 1700 kilometers, why would it need such a long range to hit us! If it was 500 kilometers, I would be more worried, but 1700 kilometers, it's not coming towards us at all!"

We don't deserve it! Do you understand?

"This..." seems to make some sense.

The boss picked up the phone and continued to reassure him: "Besides, this kind of thing is not cheap, and it can only carry a few bombs. There are only a few of them. What can it do? The threat to us is not as great as a bomber."

After saying this, he asked someone to deliver the news quickly. Although he said it lightly, this matter was still not small and had to be reported as soon as possible.

After finishing the call, he turned around and said, "Okay, let the old men worry about these things."

"Sir, are the people on the opposite side really that good at fighting?" This intelligence officer was a new recruit who had only been working for a few years. He had heard about our combat effectiveness but had no practical experience.

However, his boss had been dealing with the other party for a long time, and had only dealt with him within a year, so he took this opportunity to courageously ask his questions in order to satisfy his curiosity.

The boss was stunned by this question. He had just been withdrawn from the southwest border after being attacked. It had been less than a year. After returning, he entered this department through a relative's relationship. He had a deep impression of the opposite side.

After thinking about it, I decided to talk about it so that these guys wouldn't be so ignorant of the world.

"Boy, let's put it this way. It's better to say that I didn't see them at all than to say that we were defeated in the battle with them."

"Ah?" This answer surprised his subordinates.

"We were outside the border at the time, and we surrounded the foreign troops that came to encircle us and were about to eat them up. The foreigners couldn't beat us, so they begged us to cross the border to fight us. Except for a few of our troops that came into contact with them and collapsed at the first touch, the rest of us ran away when we heard the news that they were crossing the border, and we didn't dare to fight at all."

The boundary survey operation in the southwest direction is one of the few cases in which we conducted cross-border operations at the invitation of a neighboring country.

Even though the remnants of the troops on the other side of the strait may seem vulnerable to us, when they arrive abroad, they are like divine troops descended from the sky, making the regular army of the country where they are located cry for their parents.

"This is too..." the subordinates muttered. They thought they could at least have a real fight with real guns and swords, but they didn't expect that they all ran away.

When his boss saw him like this, he was furious: "Don't think we are cowardly. We really can't win. Saving our lives is the most important thing, kid. I heard from the brothers who have been in contact with them that they are now better at fighting than before! They are well-equipped, and everyone has a cannon in their hands. They are very brutal!"

"Ah? Everyone has a cannon?" This news really surprised his men. This is not a human, it must be a god. Who can carry that thing? Don't talk nonsense if you can't beat them.

"Don't disbelieve me. I heard that they would just fire as soon as they saw a firing point or a place where two or three of us were gathered. They didn't care about their ammunition at all. Many of our brothers were killed before they even saw us. We had to run."

"This...can we still hold it?" The men began to worry.

"Don't worry, no matter how many cannons they have, they can still get through. We have the Citibank guys guarding for us. But I advise you, if they really attack us or you are sent over to carry out a mission, run when you should, surrender when you should."

"I know, brother-in-law."

"Asshole! How many times have I told you not to call me brother-in-law here!"

"Okay, brother-in-law."

"roll!!"

The Russians and Americans did not react much to the news that we developed medium-range and short-range missiles. They are now preparing to land on the moon, so they naturally don't feel much about this small thing with a range of only 1700 kilometers.

If you have to say, the Russians are still somewhat happy.

Finally, there is someone to take the blame.

No matter how arrogant the Russians were, they still felt pressured by the Oceanic Treaty Organization, which was composed of a large number of advanced industrial countries. The oil crisis had not yet broken out, and they had not yet made a fortune from oil, so the pressure was naturally greater. In order to compete with the Americans and show the superiority of their camp, they even converted bombers into passenger planes. The great pressure they were under was also somewhat evident.

They were still surprised that we could use a missile with a range of several hundred kilometers, but after some modifications we came up with a missile with a range of 1700 kilometers. This guy is really amazing.

After measuring on the map, I found that my capital was out of reach, so my last bit of worry was put to rest.

As for the Americans, they are naturally more at ease as they are far away on the other side of the earth. The only problem is that all the bases in the first island chain in the Far East are covered, which forces them to make some strategic considerations.

However, as they already possess the most advanced missile technology, they are naturally well aware of the capabilities of their missiles.

As long as there is no nuclear warhead, this type of missile will not pose much threat.

As for nuclear bombs, that's a joke. How could Orientals possibly build them?

"As long as I'm alive, they can't build that thing!"

This was someone's life oath, and he had successfully defended his words.

So what are you worried about? Keep on playing and dancing!
This news did not cause much trouble to Citigroup employees overall, except for some changes in the people in charge of specific matters.

Before Gao Zhendong had fully recovered from the excitement of the successful missile test launch, he received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, inviting him to attend a meeting.

It is said that it is jointly conducted with the Ministry of Internal Medicine and is related to software.

This made Gao Zhendong a little confused. He had participated in many meetings of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, but they were jointly held with the Ministry of Internal Economic Affairs and had nothing to do with Gao Zhendong.

With this doubt, Gao Zhendong rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

He was received by a comrade in charge of computer business in the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

According to this comrade, he was accompanied by comrades from the Ministry of Internal Economic Affairs who were responsible for economic data statistics.

Statistics? Do you want statistical software? But this has little to do with Gao Zhendong. He doesn't care much about application software. Each industry organizes its own development.

But since he was already here, Gao Zhendong sat down.

In addition to him, he also saw Chief Engineer Chi from the Computation Institute and some comrades from the Ministry of Internal Economics.

Seeing that everyone was present, the comrades from the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Internal Economic Affairs gave a brief introduction of their ideas.

After listening to a few sentences, Gao Zhendong realized what their needs were.

"…Our current difficulties lie in the fact that data processing is not convenient enough, data is not universal enough, and there are great obstacles to the sharing and use of data among multiple departments…"

"…and we don't actually have a very good way to manage data. Data is separated and unconnected. This has caused a lot of trouble for the serialization and associated use of data…"

They have a relatively accurate grasp of data issues. After all, they are the department responsible for specific affairs and do not have a systematic concept, but they are still very clear about the specific issues.

Perhaps the terms used are quite different from the professional terminology Gao Zhendong learned when he was studying database basics in his previous life, but the meaning is roughly the same.

Speaking of this, comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade also made some additions.

"We have also encountered similar situations. Of course, our data volume is small, and some of the difficulties faced by the comrades in the Statistics Department are not obvious here, but the problem still exists."

"So our two departments have joined forces and invited everyone here to see if there is any way to solve this problem."

The problem sounds very clear, and comrades including those from economics and trade colleges are racking their brains and trying to come up with ideas.

“Should we sit down and carefully analyze the needs for data statistical analysis and come up with a relatively complete software specification that covers the current needs?”

This is a more traditional method, which basically means rewriting the software to meet existing requirements.

“This is a solution, but the requirements for data management and organization are constantly changing, so it’s probably difficult to get it right in a short period of time.”

"Develop a new software? What if the data content requirements change? What if the statistical analysis rules change? Aren't the current softwares developed based on demand? These problems will still appear after a long time of use. Will developing a new software still fail to solve the fundamental problem?"

This comrade has a more thorough understanding of the issue. In fact, from the perspective of application software, the problem still cannot be solved.
