"Uncle Ning, the conversation has collapsed?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.

Long before going abroad, Liang Yuan knew that the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been actively contacting the Vietnamese government and intending to resolve the issue of the Nansha Islands through negotiations. After all, the Republic's military strength in the Nansha Islands is still too weak.

8.09 Ning Lei flew a plane against six in Nansha air battle, which does not mean that the F14 fighter has the ability to fight six in Nansha airspace at any time. Ning Lei's record of this battle is too great.

Simply put, the four MiG23 fighters responsible for ambushing did not rush up, but dragged one by one in batches, which was enough for Ning Lei to have a headache. The fuel volume alone was enough to make all the technical advantages of the F14 fighter silence.

Looking at all the news media in the Republic and without even mentioning the captured two so-called volunteer Soviet pilots, we can see that the Republic intends to use negotiations to resolve the questions.

"The talk broke down." Ning Lei said in a low voice.

"Uncle Ning, is it because we asked for a high price?" Liang Yuan was very curious about the negotiation process.

Ning Lei did not hide it, saying: "At present, the disputes in the Nansha Islands have been included in the framework of the two mountains' rotational warfare agreement. We propose that the Nansha waters are temporarily bounded by Yongshu Reef, and the islands and reefs north of Yongshu Reef are under the jurisdiction of the Republic. Vietnam evacuated Nanzi Island, which was illegally occupied in 1975 and Nailo Reef, which was illegally occupied at the beginning of this year."

Nanzi Island is located on the Twin Reef at the northern end of the Nansha Islands, located on the western edge of the Twin Reef, only 1.6 nautical miles away from Beizi Island, another island of the Twin Reef. It is 2.6 nautical miles away from Nailo Reef, which also belongs to the Twin Reef.

Nanzi Island is only more than 600 kilometers away from the Xisha Islands under the Republic's jurisdiction, and is the gateway for the Republic's Navy to enter Nansha. Nanzi Island is an oblong shape with an altitude of 3.9 meters. The entire island runs northeast to southwest. The island is 600 meters long, more than 270 meters wide, and an area of ​​about 0.13 square kilometers. It is the sixth largest island in the Nansha Islands.

In a blink of an eye, Liang Yuan's mind passed through the specific geographical data of the Twin Reefs that he was familiar with in his previous life.

"The dispute is temporarily shelved in the waters south of Yongshu Reef. In the spirit of joint development, both sides are not continuing to occupy the remaining islands and reefs, stop military operations to seize the reef groups, and resolve disputes between the two sides through peaceful negotiations."

Liang Yuan almost laughed after hearing Ning Lei's words. As expected, the Republic was the same as later generations. Their efforts were not enough to shelve disputes and jointly develop them. They were within the scope of the Republic's military capabilities. Since ancient times, they have not continued to occupy islands and reefs and will continue to develop them, unless they go to a territory that the Vietnamese have already controlled to develop.

Nanzi Island, which was occupied by the Vietnamese military in 1975, is north of Yongshu Reef, only 900 kilometers away from Hainan Lingshui Airport, and is definitely within the range of the F14 fighter. It seems that the saying "All Chinese territory is within the range" by Uncle Ning is indeed not a joke.

At this time, the 286 in power was in power, regardless of prestige or means. The military was simply obedient. In addition, the older generation was rolling out from the rain of bullets. Now, the powerful weapon is in hand, so how can we not take advantage of the situation to rob.

"Uncle Ning, the fishing boat reported in the news broadcast a few days ago was injured. Could it be a trick played by the troops, right?" Liang Yuan asked.

Liang Yuan, who heard the news from the news broadcast, didn't think much. He even kicked the sofa angrily, making his toes blush. However, after calming down, Liang Yuan felt that things were a little wrong. When was the fishing boats in the Republic so strong that they ran for more than two hours but were not caught up by Vietnamese warships. Is this fishing boat or a speedboat?

When Ning Lei's voice suddenly became relaxed when he heard Liang Yuan mention this, he said with a smile: "I knew that those straight-line guys in the Navy could not hide it from Xiaoyuan."

Since the Republic is concerned about Nanzi Island, of course, it will not place all hope on the humility, respect and frugality of the Vietnamese. At this time, the Republic Navy, under the promotion of General Geng Qinghua, was preparing to build a Qianjin Airport on Yongxing Island in the Xisha Islands, intending to solve the problem of the short flight of the Republic's combat aircraft.

However, the construction of Qianjin Airport on Yongxing Island was a relatively helpless thing for the Republic. The large island in the South China Sea was divided up by neighboring countries as early as the 1970s, and even Yongxing Island was stabilized after fighting with Vietnam in the Paracelestial Sea in the 1970s.

Yongxing Island is 340 kilometers away from the Navy Lingshui Airport in Hainan and more than 600 kilometers away from the Twin Reefs, which are closest to the mainland of the motherland, among the Nansha Islands. After HNA got the F14, looking at Nanzi Island, which is within the F14 fighter range, the navy will inevitably have some small thoughts.

The construction of an airport on Yongxing Island only pushed the Republic's military strength into the South China Sea for more than 300 kilometers. Compared with the South China Sea waters with a depth of more than 2,000 kilometers, it would be quite good. However, it would be completely different if the construction of an airport on Nanzi Island.

Nanzi Island has a very superior geographical location. It is about 900 kilometers away from Hainan Island in the north, about 600 kilometers away from the Philippines in the east, about 600 kilometers away from Vietnam in the west, and is close to 1,000 kilometers away from Zengmu Sand, the southernmost territory of the Republic. It can be said that Nanzi Island is just at the central point of occupying several major countries in the South China Sea waters of the Republic.

If the Nanzi Island Airport is completed, it can be regarded as the core support base of the Republic in the South China Sea. It is based on this as a base Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and other countries will all be included in the strike radius after the Republic has replaced the engines. In the future, the J-8-2 fighter jets will be easily cruised by the entire Nansha Islands after the J-7 is put into service in the future, and even Zeng Mu's undersea can be included in the range.

Before the aircraft carrier is put into service, the Republic's air force can support the skeleton of the air protective umbrella in the entire South China Sea. This extremely huge strategic significance of the top leaders of the Republic cannot ignore it.

What made the navy even more excited was that the Twin Reefs were actually circular atolls based on a large reef plate. The entire reef plate was about 16 nautical miles long from northeast to southwest and 8.5 nautical miles wide. Beizi Island and Nanzi Island developed in the northwest. Gongshi Reef was exposed at the northeast end and Nailo Reef was exposed in the southwest. The atoll was covered with lagoons of varying depths, with a depth of 3-50 meters. The outer edge of the atoll was a deep sea with a water depth of 1,000-1,500 meters.

This means that the entire Twin Reef, which has a large number of lagoons, can be expanded to create a series of marinas of different purposes, providing excellent supply points and safe havens for warships, fishing boats, and passing ships.

Therefore, on the first day after the F14 fighter was put into service with the Naval Air Force, someone submitted the plan to seize Nanzi Island to the Navy Staff. When Ninglei became famous in the 8.09 air combat, he seized Nanzi Island of the Twin Reefs, and replaced Yongxing Island's status as a forward base in the South China Sea. Faced with this situation, General Geng Qinghua couldn't help but shake it.

The so-called Vietnamese military shooting of fishermen in Nansha was purely a revamp of the Republic's Navy. They ran to the vicinity of Nanzi Island for landing and reconnaissance. However, they did not look at the almanac before leaving. Unlucky encountered a Vietnamese Navy warship that sent supplies to Nanzi Island, and was chased by others for more than two hours.

What’s even more exaggerated is that ordinary fishing boats will bring so much hemostatic gauze to the sea, which can wrap five people like rice dumplings.

Ning Lei roughly told Liang Yuan about the ins and outs of the shooting.

"Uncle Ning, I saw those five people being hurt on TV. It's nothing, right?" Liang Yuan asked with concern.

"It's nothing. The most serious one with the leather and flesh was knocked out half of his nails. The rest were scratched by the rebound stray bullets. Four of the five people have returned to the team. However, since they have been performing too much after returning to Hong Kong and going ashore, the commander who led the team is writing inspections at the base." Ning Lei said with a smile.

"That guy deserves to write a check, and Jia Jia almost cried when he reads the news." Liang Yuan said gloatingly.

"Xiaoyuan, remember to make it clear to Qilianshan that as long as the two ordinary low-resistance free-fall bombs, mk82 and mk84, it's fine. Don't buy guided bombs, as the f14 fighter can't be thrown away." Ning Lei added.

"Uncle Ning, we won't even have an air bomb, right?" Liang Yuan asked in confusion.

Although the Republic's Navigation and Air Force have mostly focused on interception tasks since its establishment and have carried out few bombing tasks to support the ground, they are not even without ordinary aviation bombs.

"We are different from the suspension interface of American bombs. If the interface is forcibly modified, it is easy to cause bomb failures and run thousands of miles above the combat target. At that time, the ammunition cannot be dropped, which will be troublesome." Ning Lei said.

Liang Yuan suddenly remembered that the Republic had a lot of records in this regard. The atomic bomb test explosion that year had failed to drop, and in the end, the strong five attack aircraft responsible for dropping the bomb took extremely high risks and landed with bombs. It would be bad if the F14 fighter also encountered this situation over Nanzi Island.

"Well, I will notify Qilianshan in a while that a batch of precision equipment used for the F14 fighter overhaul line is about to be shipped from the United States. I will ask if I can take a ride. Uncle Ning will call me in an hour." Liang Yuan said.

The maintenance equipment for the F14 fighter jets airlifted this time are all precision instruments such as industrial endoscopes, eddy current flaw detectors, etc., which are similar to single-arm cranes, pneumatic tire pickers, electric tractors and other large F14 fighter special maintenance equipment, which are all adopted by sea transportation and are still floating in the Pacific Ocean.

Liang Yuan put down Ning Lei's phone number and dialed Qilianshan, telling the story of purchasing two types of aviation bombs, mk82 and mk84.

This thing is a purely scattered thing in the United States, and the cost is only a few hundred dollars per piece. For arms companies like Grumman, it is probably easier to get some air bombs than to drink water. Qilianshan promised to mention this matter with Grumman staff tomorrow.

"Xiaoyuan, how many aviation bombs do we want to buy?" Qilianshan asked at the end.

Liang Yuan also forgot to ask Ning Lei for the number of aviation bombs needed. After thinking about the power data of the mk84 type bomb, it seemed that the area of ​​Nanzi Island was about 0.13 square kilometers. After a simple calculation, he said, "Lao Qi, let's get 200 of them first."

I bought so many bombs and could blow up the entire Nanzi Island into the sky at one time. Liang Yuan thought happily, but someone forgot that the F14 fighter is not a B-52. How could he throw so many bombs onto the Vietnamese's heads at one time?
