Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Fang Yu chuckled, motioned for Jovic to sit down, and then spoke slowly.

"Minister Jovic, I understand your urgency. But when it comes to choosing weapons and equipment, the more sophisticated the better."

"The more advanced the weapon, the more complex it is to operate and maintain, and the higher the requirements for personnel quality and logistical support."

He glanced at the slightly disappointed Jovic and continued to explain: "The J-20 fighter jets and those special operations robots are indeed our most advanced equipment at present."

"But their training period is extremely long. Even if they were provided to you now, Yugoslav pilots and technicians would not be able to master their use in a short period of time, let alone form effective combat capabilities."

"On a battlefield that's constantly changing, this is like handing the sharpest sword to a child who doesn't know how to fight. Not only will they be unable to injure the enemy, but they might even end up hurting themselves."

When Jovic heard this, the excitement on his face faded a lot, and was replaced by a hint of anxiety.

What Fang Yu said made sense. Advanced weapons are good, but if they cannot be used effectively, they are just decorations.

The Eagle Sauce offensive was imminent, and Yugoslavia simply did not have enough time to carry out a lengthy weapons replacement and personnel training.

"Then...then what should we do?" There was a hint of helplessness in Jovic's tone.

Fang Yu smiled confidently. "Minister Jovic, don't worry. I didn't say we wouldn't provide you with advanced weapons. What I meant was that we would, based on Yugoslavia's actual situation and strategic needs, 'adapt to local conditions' and provide you with a set of weapons and equipment that best suits you and can quickly form combat effectiveness."

"Adapt to local conditions? Matching weapons?" Jovic's eyes were filled with renewed interest. "Chief Engineer Fang, can you elaborate?"

Fang Yu kept the answer in suspense and smiled mysteriously.

"Minister Jovic, some things are more direct than seeing them with your own eyes."

"Instead of me wasting my time here, why don't you just come with me? Once you see it, you'll understand."

After saying that, Fang Yu stood up and made an invitation gesture to Mr. Lu and Jovic.

"Mr. Lu, Minister Jovic, please follow me. I'm going to take you to a place where I have a surprise for Yugoslavia."

Mr. Lu and Jovic looked at each other and saw curiosity and anticipation in each other's eyes.

They followed Fang Yu out of the conference room and boarded several military off-road vehicles that had been waiting outside.

The convoy left the bustling city and sped towards the suburbs. Jovic noticed that as the vehicles moved forward, the surrounding security level increased significantly, and armed soldiers and hidden military outposts could be seen from time to time along the way.

He realized that they were about to go to a highly classified military base.

About an hour later, the convoy stopped in a heavily guarded area, which appeared to be a large weapons testing ground, with rolling hills and a vast shooting range visible in the distance.

The air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder, mixed with the scent of metal and engine oil.

Fang Yu led Mr. Lu and Jovic to an inconspicuous building.

After several strict security checks and identity verification, a heavy alloy door slowly opened, revealing a huge underground space inside.

This is a huge underground weapons depot and debugging center that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Under the bright lights, various types of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and missiles are neatly arranged, emitting a cold metallic luster.

Dozens of technicians in special work clothes are busy carrying out the final inspection and debugging of these weapons.

Jovic was stunned by the sight. Although he was the Minister of Defense and had visited many Russian arsenals, he had never seen such a large-scale and technologically advanced underground military facility.

Many of the weapons and equipment here were new models that he had never heard of. Their design concepts and technical levels had obviously surpassed what they could currently imagine.

"Chief Engineer Fang, this is..." Jovic's voice trembled with excitement.

"This is one of the secret experimental bases of the Great Wall Military Factory," Fang Yu said with a hint of pride, "and it's also the location of the 'surprise' we prepared for Yugoslavia."

He led the two through an area where various conventional weapons were displayed and came to a more central and more heavily guarded independent warehouse.

The entrance to the warehouse is guarded by two guards holding futuristic energy weapons. Their eyes are as sharp as eagles, and they watch vigilantly at everyone who approaches.

After Fang Yu presented the highest level of authorization, the alloy door of the warehouse slid open silently, revealing the scene inside.

The first thing Jovic saw were several armored vehicles with strange appearances.

They have a low chassis, a body covered with thick reactive armor, and an unusually flat turret, mounted with a smoothbore gun that doesn't appear to have a very large caliber, but the barrel appears unusually thick.

"This is our latest improved Type 96B main battle tank,"

Fang Yu introduced.

“While its basic design is derived from our Type 59 tank, we have comprehensively modernized it. It is equipped with a 1200-horsepower diesel engine, an upgraded transmission system, and new-generation composite armor.”

“The main gun is a 125mm smoothbore gun capable of firing Advanced Armor-Piercing Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) ammunition and High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) ammunition.”

"More importantly, it is equipped with an advanced fire control system, including a laser rangefinder, a thermal imager and a ballistic computer, which significantly improves its probability of hitting the target with one shot.

Jovic observed the tanks carefully, an expression of admiration on his face. He had a certain understanding of tank technology and could see that although these Type 96B tanks were somewhat similar in appearance to the Type 59, their internal technology was completely different. Their comprehensive combat capability was probably no less than that of the American M1A1 Patton tank, and even surpassed it in some aspects.

"These tanks are very suitable for Yugoslavia's terrain and combat environment," Fang Yu continued. "They are relatively simple to operate and maintain, and Yugoslav tank crews can quickly master them. Moreover, their cost is relatively low, making them suitable for large-scale deployment."

Fang Yu then pointed to several wheeled armored vehicles parked nearby: "This is the PLZ-07 122mm self-propelled howitzer. It uses an 8x8 wheeled chassis, is highly maneuverable, and has formidable firepower."

"Its 122mm howitzer has a maximum range of 27 kilometers and is capable of firing a variety of shells, including high-explosive shells, anti-tank shells and terminal-sensitive shells."

"It is equipped with an automatic loading system and a digital fire control system, with fast response speed and high strike accuracy, making it very suitable for providing rapid fire support to ground forces."

Jovic looked at these self-propelled artillery with smooth lines and powerful feeling, his eyes flashing with desire.

Most of the artillery currently equipped by the Yugoslav army are old models from World War II. They cannot compare with this modern self-propelled artillery in terms of range, power or reaction speed.
