Chapter 853: Get ready early (one more chapter in the evening)
"It's interesting. Both the Russians and the Gauls have asked us for additional orders for programmable switching systems. This time, the Russians even added two medium-sized 3000-port switches." A comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Trade joked as he looked at the documents in his hand.

The Gallic chickens don't even listen to the Americans, and are obsessed with independence. Whenever they can, they will naturally try to imitate, borrow from, and "pay tribute" to others.

As it happens, the Gauls at that time were quite good at communication technology, so they only added a limited number of small switches and continued to experiment without the idea of ​​conducting large-scale tests.

Imitation and agency, this is all the Gauls are planning.

But the Russians are much more honest. They still have to buy what they need. They don’t buy in large quantities, but at least they try it out first and then directly expand the scale to medium scale.

"It seems that they are very satisfied with the functions and performance of this switch." Another comrade laughed.

At this time, far away in the Communications Institute of the Postal and Communications Commission, General Manager Feng sneered, "Satisfied? Of course they are satisfied, but the pace of their orders clearly shows that they are helpless against Chief Engineer Gao's anti-theft measures. Look at the Gauls, three! This number is too interesting, hahahaha."

After laughing, Mr. Feng turned around and said, "Notify the Communication Equipment Factory to follow the order of arrival. Those who placed orders together earlier can be given some preferential treatment. For the new orders now, we have to follow the first come, first served order."

The communication networks of different countries are somewhat different, and there are many targeted adaptations before leaving the factory. The order of delivery is different, and the tuning and adaptation of each machine is different.

"Okay, Mr. Feng. The Communications Equipment Factory is already very busy. It's not easy to jump the queue."

"Tell them that they must ensure quality. We value integrity," Mr. Feng reminded.

Comrade Gao Zhendong, the source of all this, has long stopped caring about this matter. This is the job of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

Instead, he became very interested in something he had already made. This thing was interesting. At first, he just wanted to sell some civilian equipment to make some money, but now he has deeper ideas.

The source of this matter is still the VCR.

One thing you need to know is that on the day of the foreign trade exhibition, the video tape recorder was not actually taught to any factory of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, but was still in Gao Zhendong's own hands.

Now that we want to mass-produce hard disk recorders within half a year, we naturally need to transfer the technology to relevant manufacturers.

The one chosen this time was not the Haihekou Record Player Factory. Firstly, the technical gap between video recorders and tape recorders is actually quite large. Secondly, the meaning of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building was also very clear. In this matter, all eggs should not be put in one basket. The burden on the Haihekou Record Player Factory was a bit too heavy.

Therefore, the one selected this time was Songjiang Electric Factory No. 1274 located in Songjiang. At the same time, the technology to be transferred was not only the technology of record player mechanics and circuits, but also the Factory.

Gao Zhendong developed integrated circuit technology, and the system naturally used integrated circuits as the core signal processing components of the video recorder. Except for 1274, no one else could do this job for the time being.

Although the complete circuit of the integrated circuit video signal processing chip is not fully digital, it is a huge step forward compared to fully discrete components. It greatly reduces the complexity of the VCR circuit and reduces the size and weight of the VCR.

Once the size is small, the impact will not just be on the video recorder. Gao Zhendong is eager to make a move.

After spending two days seeing off the comrades who came to learn technology, Gao Zhendong immediately made a phone call to Chunlei Factory.

Mr. Zhang from Chunlei Factory answered the phone and immediately called the persons in charge of each system.

"Put down all the work at hand and go to Beijing! Chief Engineer Gao requires us to get there as quickly as possible."

After hearing what Mr. Zhang said, the heads of each subsystem were very surprised.

"What's so urgent? Are you all going? This is rare."

"Chief Engineer Gao didn't say anything specific, but he said on the phone that this is a very difficult, urgent, and arduous, but very important task. Unless there is something absolutely necessary, put everything aside and come to Beijing with me. The people in charge of the guidance system and aerodynamics must go, and there is no room for negotiation."

Mr. Zhang was very excited. If Chief Engineer Gao was in such a hurry about something, it must be a big deal. Although he didn't know what it was yet, being able to participate in such a big event made it very difficult for him to calm down.

When the comrades heard this, they thought that your requirement was no different from requiring everyone to go. Neither the long-range dispenser nor the laser-guided bomb was powered. Apart from these two core majors, there were no other majors.

However, the more this happened, the more the comrades felt that this time, General Gao was really anxious and the matter must be complicated.

Just as the comrades at Chunlei Factory were gathering manpower and rushing to the capital as quickly as possible, Gao Zhendong ended his contact with Chunlei Factory and called the Defense Work Committee.

The chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee answered the phone.

After hearing Gao Zhendong's request on the phone, he agreed without hesitation. "Okay, no problem, the committee will make arrangements right away to cooperate with your work. Well, we will coordinate with the units you need to coordinate with, so just rest assured and make preparations."

At about the same time, somewhere in the capital, some leaders and comrades from the army were looking at the green land under the plateau in front of the map. No matter whether it was a mountainous area or not, it was still a green land.

"The other party still hasn't restrained its actions." A leader sighed while looking at the map.

"Sir, instead of calming down, you are getting worse and worse."

A comrade from the army replied.

"It seems that there are some things that we have to do even if we don't want to do them." A leader sighed.

"That's just their character. They only remember to eat and not to be beaten." A leading comrade of the army laughed.

A leader said: "They rely on the halo imposed on them by the West and the North and act recklessly."

"Not only that, they think they can fight very well." A military leader laughed.

It's true that Zang San really thinks he is quite capable in front of John Bull. At least in S2, John Bull's fighting is relatively abstract, at least in Southeast Asia and East Asia. Of course, Europe and North Africa are not much better. The so-called Marshal Meng Meng, a considerable part of his achievements are exaggerated, in order to fight for command and face, he did a lot of things that ended up losing more than he gained, such as the abstract "Operation Market Garden".

It was not uncommon in S2 for Zang San's troops to risk their lives to rescue John Bull's troops. Even our expeditionary force had rescued them.

So they feel that it is pretty good.

"Well, how are you preparing now?"

Preparing for this kind of thing requires both public opinion preparation and action preparation.

"It's going according to plan, and it's more than planned. In terms of supplies, the amount sent up exceeds the original plan. And we can maintain a certain amount of air supply to the SND area by air transport. Although we can't guarantee a complete supply, it can at least extend the operation time."

"Hmm? Can we still airlift to Shannan? How do we solve the problem of airports? How do we solve the problem of planes?"

We have to cross a mountain range with an altitude of more than 5000 meters. As we all know, the planes that can fly there cannot land, and the planes that can land cannot fly there.

The former include transport aircraft and the latter include helicopters.

The Air Force leader laughed and said, "We really couldn't do it last year, but we can do it this year."

After that, under everyone's curious eyes, he explained: "We used new materials and some technologies exchanged from the Russians and Gauls to improve the engine of the An-2 transport aircraft we copied, so that its practical ceiling reached more than 5000 meters, and its load capacity increased to 1.5 tons, and it can take off and land on the plateau."

A major feature of the An-2 is that it is light and small, and can’t carry much, but it has low requirements for airports.

"We have set up several field airports in the south of the mountain. They are called airports, but in fact they are just dirt runways, which are not very long and are just enough for the An-2. Our pilots have also found a suitable route in the mountains to fly from the snow mountain airport to these airports. At the same time, we have also set up some field transfer runways in the north of the mountain specifically for the An-2 to use."

"With multiple field airports working together and making full use of the daytime, we can basically transport 300 to 500 tons of supplies in a day. It's not enough for an infantry division to fight an offensive, but it's OK for defense."

The army leader also added: "Our biggest headache is the problem of firepower projection. Infantry combat does not require a lot of supplies, but artillery preparation is hard to say."

The Air Force smiled and said, "We can solve some of this problem for you. It may not be completely solved, but at least heavy firepower can solve a considerable part of it, provided that the airspace is kept clear."

Another comrade from the army reported: "Our idea is that if we want to maintain our presence for a long time, we can use land transport to stockpile a large amount of supplies when the weather and transportation conditions are good, and use air transport to maintain a certain supply when the weather is bad. Combined with the stockpiled supplies, it is enough not to carry out large-scale operations, but just to exist and hold on."

The chief smiled and said, "You are thinking long-term. Well, whether it is useful or not, it is a good thing to have ideas, preparations, and actions. How is the training of the troops?"

"There is absolutely no problem in this regard. A considerable number of troops were originally border defense troops and field troops stationed here. They are very adapted to the situation over there. The new field troops are also well trained."

In fact, in the battle of 62, most of our field troops did not take part in it. Those responsible for the combat operations were mainly the border defense forces and the lightly armed field troops originally stationed here. However, the situation may have changed on this timeline.
