No one can resist the enthusiasm of the African brothers. Battalion Commander Sok kept him warmly, and the soldiers around him also started to make excuses. Feng Xiaochen and his party could only stay.

Before the dinner began, Sok received a call from the headquarters and officially confirmed that their round of artillery hit the opponent's howitzer position. However, this news was learned by intelligence personnel. It is unknown how many cannons were destroyed and how many casualties were caused by the other party.

However, even so, this is a rare and major victory. You should know that after several years of fighting between the two sides, the results obtained through direct artillery battles are very few. For both sides, artillery is a weapon mainly based on scary people. Occasionally, any target can be hit is the result of the blessing of the gods and has nothing to do with the artillery technology.

This time, the command originally thought that Sok Battalion was a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and accidentally hit the other party's artillery position. When Sok mentioned the cause and effect of the matter on the phone, the staff officer on the headquarters were also shocked. After several reports, the boss ordered Sok to receive several Chinese visitors, and said that Chief of Staff Pragner would visit Sok Battalion in person tomorrow to inspect the artillery battle situation and meet with those Chinese guests, especially the artillery engineer with "supernatural ability".

This news filled the dinner with a joyful atmosphere. The results of this battle allowed many people to achieve military achievements, and the achievements were all due to Feng Fei. Therefore, the African officers and soldiers waiting to toast Feng Fei at the banquet lined up in a long queue. Even though Feng Fei was able to drink well and the basic level of local liquor in Africa was also very low, he was still knocked down by the enthusiastic black uncles.

In the morning of the next day, Pragner took a jeep and took a group of entourage to the position of Sok camp. He did not go to the cannon position, but accompanied by Sok, he first came to the tent where Feng Xiaochen and his party lived, which surprised Feng Xiaochen and his party. They had heard Hesseth say that Pragner was the boss of the military and the most powerful person in the country of Diet, so he was a little worried that he was not easy to deal with. However, he did not expect that this man had an approachable side and could actually go to their tent to negotiate with them in person.

"May I ask, you are Mr. Feng, I am Pragner."

Pragner, dressed in military uniform, walked up to Feng Fei and introduced himself in a gentle tone. He spoke English, and although he was a little stuttering, he could understand it at least.

Knowing that Pragner was coming to Sok Camp, Feng Fei shaved his beard early in the morning, changed into a suit, and asked Feng Xiaochen and Zhang Heping a lot of details about how to talk to Pragner. His killing momentum yesterday disappeared after the other party's cannon sound stopped, and he turned back to his original dull appearance. However, Feng Xiaochen knew that his second uncle was already a person with a halo in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Dyer government army. Even if he coughed casually, someone would interpret it as domineering.

"Your Excellency General, I'm very happy to see you." Feng Fei cheered himself up in his heart and replied in the words he had rehearsed with Feng Xiaochen and the others.

"I have learned everything yesterday. You are an artillery genius. Thank you very much for your help."

Pragner praised with great praise. There was not much condescending element in his tone. This might be the timidity of a general from a small country in front of envoys of a great country. According to Feng Xiaochen, at a banquet the day before, he heard Sok say that when the Soviet adviser was here, he was very rude to the officers of the Dies, including Pragner. The consultant seemed to be just a major or a lieutenant colonel.

"I am not a genius. I have been engaged in howitzer research for many years and have some experience in ballistic calculations. In our system, there are many experts with higher levels than me." Feng Fei said modestly for himself, but he didn't know that after saying this, he boasted about the capabilities of China's military industry. An engineer with an ordinary level in China has become a genius in his mind here. You can imagine how strong your country is.

"I received a call from Minister of Industry Herseth, who said you want to talk to me, and don't know what you want to talk to?"

Pragner pulled a chair and sat down, then greeted Feng Fei, Feng Xiaochen and others, and then asked directly.

"I don't know what the general thinks about the retaliation of the Sok camp's counterattack against the rebels yesterday." Feng Fei gradually got into the state and asked Pragner according to the strategy discussed with Feng Xiaochen and the others.

Pragner said: "It's very wonderful. Sok has reported it to me, and he said that they can achieve such results entirely because of your excellent calculations. Before that, we never knew that we could speculate on their artillery positions by calculating the opponent's trajectory. If we had known this, the entire war would have accelerated."

Feng Fei said: "In fact, estimating artillery positions through ballistics is not a particularly advanced technology... Artillery soldiers from many countries can do this."

He originally wanted to say that countries with more advanced artillery technology could do this, but as a kind person, he felt that it was not appropriate to point at others' noses and say that they were behind, so he could only be vague.

"No, no, Mr. Feng, what you are talking about is the artillery level of you developed countries. Our army in Dier can't do this, our government forces can't do it, and the rebels on the opposite side can't do it either." Pragner said frankly.

He didn't have so many concerns. He knew that his country's army was a bit worthwhile. According to his ideas, it is not embarrassing to say that he was behind in front of people from developed countries. As for whether China is a developed country, he had never considered it, but after yesterday's incident, he began to realize that China should also be called a developed country. At least any engineer can be like this.

"But, General, have you ever thought about what you should do if the rebels obtained the corresponding technology from Britain and the United States and mastered this method of estimating artillery positions?" Zhang Heping interrupted.

Pragner was stunned and frowned. He didn't have time to think about what Zhang Heping said. He thought it would be great if he could master this technology. But after Zhang Heping reminded him, he realized that there was such a hidden worry. The rebels rebeled from the original government army, and the level of officers and soldiers was not very good. But after their rebellion, Britain, the United States and other countries gave the rebels a lot of support through their agents, mainly weapons support, which gave the rebels a certain degree of strength.

According to the information he has, Western countries sent advisors to the rebels, but obviously they have never taught them the artillery tactics. But not teaching them in the past does not mean that they will not be able to teach them in the future. If the rebels mastered this technique of calculating the opponent's artillery positions, wouldn't the government's artillery suffer the consequences?

"General, on modern battlefields, artillery must be highly mobile and cannot stay on a position like traditional artillery, unless your artillery is more advanced than the opponent and can have a longer range. In fact, yesterday I made a suggestion to Battalion Commander Sok, hoping that after they fight back, they will quickly transfer the position to avoid the opponent's revenge. You must know that if the opponent is an experienced artillery unit, our place must be completely covered by the opponent's artillery fire." Feng Fei introduced.

"You mean that the artillery soldiers of advanced countries will be transferred immediately after firing the artillery?" Pragner understood Feng Fei's meaning.

Feng Fei said: "That's true, we must change the place when we shoot one shot. If the rebel artillery had such experience yesterday, they would not have been hit by us."

"However, it is too difficult to transfer the artillery positions." An aide who followed Pragner interjected, "Howitzers are very heavy and need to be towed by trucks. Moreover, the roads in our country are very poor. It is very difficult for trucks to pull a howitzer to transfer a position."

Hearing this gentleman's words, Feng Fei and others turned to look at him, and a thought came to their minds: Brother, you can't be the nursery we arranged, are you? We are worried that we can't bring the topic to this, so you will tell them first.

Of course, Feng Fei knew that he had not arranged any child care in Diet. The staff member's concerns were actually a problem with traditional howitzers. He smiled and said, "This gentleman said it very well. It is very difficult for howitzers to transfer positions. Because of this, all countries are now abandoning traditional howitzers and developing new types of howitzers. We came to Diet this time to recommend to the general that we are developing two new products, one is a light howitzer weighing less than 2 tons, and the other is a self-propelled howitzer with a walking mechanism. I wonder if your Excellency General is interested."

"What, howitzer weighs less than 2 tons? How much firepower is different than traditional howitzer?"

Pragner's interest was mobilized by Feng Fei. As a chief of staff of the army, he was quite familiar with the performance parameters of the main equipment. The Soviet 152mm howitzer they currently use is about 6 tons, which is very bulky. This is also the main reason why they cannot transfer their artillery positions at any time. If the weight of a gun can be reduced to within 2 tons, then there is no need for a truck to pull it away, and a few soldiers can be pulled away, and the mobility will increase significantly.
