MTLNOVEL Chapter 1079: Fright, Surprise, Farewell
In the next month, Joe Ga openly took Igor, Gino, and Adel around Djibouti.
He pushed a stroller with Igor, who only knew how to drink milk and understood nothing, along with the curious Gino and Adel, to introduce them to some of the most dangerous people in this world.
Arms dealers, mercenaries, members of major countries' overseas bases, and even terrorists...
Igor, this under-one-year-old baby, sitting in the bulletproof stroller specially made by his dad, acquired a large number of gifts at various defense exhibition halls.
Then, at the French Air Force Base, he broke the age record just set by Gino and Adel, becoming the youngest Rafale rider...
At the U.S. Navy base, Igor became the youngest Zumwalt visitor...
In the main control room of the China 056, Igor boldly spat milk at the ship cannon's firing button...
Finally, because he disliked the outdated British frigates, he stubbornly refused to board the ship for a tour, which made the gentlemanly British captain express deep regret.
Joe was indeed having a blast. With Igor's cover, he managed to see a lot of great things at various bases.
France's large early warning aircraft, tankers, ground air defense weapons, and most importantly, no one ever told him before that there was a big weapon in the French Air Force base.
When passing by the armory, Joe Ga was taken in by a senior executive from Dassault Aviation to have a look because it housed weapons prepared by Dassault for two 'prototypes'.
Out of professional necessity, he naturally scanned them just in passing...
Old 'MICA air-to-air missiles', outdated Northern AS20 air-ground missiles.
NATO's AIM-120C air-to-air missiles, AGM-88B anti-radiation missiles.
And a few advanced 'Meteor air-to-air missiles' co-developed by France and several other countries, not yet widely used in their military...
If those could only be considered basic weapons, then the ASMP-A (Aspom) supersonic nuclear missile hidden in the lower-level armory, which Joe Ga couldn't access personally, was terrifying.
The mainstream deployment of nuclear weapons globally is still submarine-based, sea-based, land-based...
After America retired the air-launched cruise nuclear missile AGM-129, France's Aspom became the only active air-launched nuclear weapon and can be carried and used by any Rafale in their army or navy.
This thing compared to Aaron's big weapon sent to Sangha Town, might have a lower yield, but its technical content is much more advanced!
The five big powers are also classified into levels. The US, Russia, and China all possess three types of nuclear strike capabilities: submarine-based, sea-based, and land-based. England only has submarine-based nuclear weapons left, while France, besides submarine-based, has created a new path, retaining air-launched nuclear weapons.
Moreover, everyone seems to overlook that France is a nuclear power; they have the world's largest number of nuclear power plants and uranium production, with 60% of France's power coming from nuclear plants.
With so much technology connected to nuclear, their nuclear weapons are naturally very advanced!
Although Aspom only has a yield of 300,000 tons, it unexpectedly fits France's actual needs well. It's not only easy to move but also discreet to deploy, and most importantly, a 300,000-ton yield is a remarkably troubling level.
If France ever gets cornered into using this missile against somewhere, it would not only assert their might but also unlikely trigger countermeasures.
Because of France's status as a big power and the fact that unless a 300,000-ton bomb landed on an important city, it wouldn't reach the level requiring counteraction.
Always cheerful Joe Ga was drenched in cold sweat from fear by what he learned here!
These French guys may seem unreliable currently fighting in Syria and North Africa, but they certainly have some guts.
Why nuclear weapons are arranged in Africa, Joe Ga wouldn't dare to speculate lightly, but the placement already says a lot.
We can choose not to use it, but when we need it, we're ready to show it to you, and who knows what can happen once we're pushed too hard...
This is truly terrifying!
Even if French military power is secondary, with the Rafale working alongside tankers, they can cover all of Africa in a single trip!
Joe Ga pretended not to know about Aspom's existence and visited the Rafale maintenance center under the enthusiastic invitation of Dassault's senior executives.
After listening to their bragging, Joe hopped onto the jets with his son, and the P.B pilots in training took turns taking the children for a spin in the sky.
After landing, Joe gave a round of compliments to Dassault's brass, stating he would definitely promote the Rafale to the United Arab Emirates, making the Big Noses very pleased...
After finishing the tour in Djibouti, Joe Ga retreated to the P.B base...
In his free time, he would bicker online with al-Qaeda, and casually keep an eye on the progress of Tong Tong's film.
The lead roles in the film were already set; Princess Amina, who was to play herself, was rejected by the Iranian female director due to mismatched temperament. The director chose a beautiful 18-year-old princess from among the Middle Eastern Princesses.
And for the role of Hu Lang, since Joe Ga was unavailable, Tong Tong ultimately handed the role to Qiao Liang.
Bai Erwu didn't require much in the way of acting skills; Qiao Liang secured the role through a simple remote audition, having a similar look to his elder brother.
It was extremely convenient to use Qiao Liang. Joe Ga's wartime speech in Sangha Town had been professionally filmed by media; Bai Erwu only needed to shoot complementary scenes to create a grand spectacle, giving him enough time to film real war scenes.
