Chapter 587: Tilted Scales

Chen Geng: "Because we can't produce this thing." ”

"Hmm...... Huh?"

"Let's make a hypothesis first," Chen Geng said, "Suppose that helicopter gunships are introduced in China, where is the most likely place to be put into it? It should be the north, right?"

"That's right. The big guy nodded.

Let's not talk about the question of whether the Americans are willing to sell it to us, assuming that the United States has introduced the AH-1 "Cobra" helicopter gunship from the United States, it will certainly be deployed on the Sino-Soviet border in the north to deal with the possible arrival of the Soviet Union in the torrent of steel.

Chen Geng continued: "Then the question is, since this kind of aircraft cannot be produced in China for the time being, how many aircraft can be introduced in terms of Huaxia's current national strength?"

Thirty?

Fifty at most, right?

But once a war breaks out between us and our northern neighbors, what is the difference between our 30 or 50 helicopter gunships and cannon fodder in the face of an opponent with a huge cluster of helicopter gunships? ”

“......”

The big guy's face is not very good-looking, but he has to admit that what Chen Geng said is reasonable, not to mention whether the United States is willing to sell so many armed helicopters to Huaxia, and whether Huaxia is willing to take such a large amount of money, just from the point of view that Huaxia cannot produce and the Soviet Union has already equipped a large number of heavy armed helicopters such as the Mi-28 "Hind", it is impossible for us to play a game of exchange with the Soviet Union.

The big guy nodded and motioned for Chen Geng to continue.

"Instead of making this money a one-time cannon fodder, it is better to use this money to buy transport helicopters and let them work in another battlefield......"

"Which battlefield?" Before Chen Geng finished speaking, the big guy immediately asked.

"Effective control of the border areas, and ......" Chen Geng said word by word: "Earthquake relief!"

"Huh?!" the big guy's eyes suddenly widened, "You go on." ”

Chen Geng said: "I won't say much about the effective control of the border areas, you must understand it better than me......

The big guy nodded, of course he understood, the biggest problem in the border area is the inconvenience of transportation, because of the inconvenient transportation, whether it is the deployment of the army or the daily patrol, the daily supply of combat materials are very inconvenient, but if there is a high-performance helicopter that can almost ignore any terrain, at least the country's control over the border area will rise a lot!

The country also understands this, so after the Z-5 helicopter, in fact, it has been vigorously developing helicopters, for which the "Super Wasp" helicopter was introduced from France in the 70s, and on the basis of the "Super Wasp" was imitated, that is, we are familiar with the Z-8, but, earthquake relief?

"As for earthquake relief," Chen Geng said: "Our country's territory is vast, the terrain is complex, and it is accompanied by a variety of geological disasters, according to my understanding, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relatively large earthquakes in China include the 1966 He@Beixing@Tailong@Yao County 6.8 magnitude earthquake and Ning@Jin County 7.2 magnitude earthquake, 1970 Yun@Nanxingtong@Hai 7.8 magnitude earthquake and ...... The Tang @ Shan earthquake that just passed,"

Speaking of this, thinking of the big earthquake more than 20 years later, Chen Geng's eyes couldn't help but red: "Under normal circumstances, as long as there is a major earthquake of magnitude 7 or above, even if it is a flat terrain like the North China Plain, the ground roads will suffer extensive damage, I have seen some reports about the Tangshan earthquake, saying that after the earthquake, because of the road damage, the first batch of soldiers who rushed to the disaster had to run into the disaster area, after entering the disaster area, the soldiers could only use their own shovels, pickaxes and other tools to carry out rescue activities.

This is indeed commendable, but in my opinion it is not something to be happy about, if our country is equipped with a certain number of heavy helicopters, which can directly lift truck cranes, excavators, loaders and other construction machinery directly into the market?"

The big guy was stunned for a moment: "Directly use a helicopter to lift construction machinery into the site?"

Before this, because the carrying capacity and number of domestic helicopters are extremely limited, and more importantly, because our country is too poor, although there have been many serious geological disasters after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has ever thought that it is a rescue activity to use a helicopter to directly lift construction machinery into the disaster area.

This is a blind spot in thinking, after being reminded by Chen Geng, a picture instantly appeared in the mind of the big man who served as the deputy commander-in-chief in the rescue after the Tangshan earthquake: after the earthquake, in the face of the broken road, the convoy of soldiers who came to the disaster relief was at a loss...... Helicopters of earthquake relief equipment, ignoring the tattered terrain below, directly put all kinds of construction machinery in the most needed places, and then the second, third, and fourth waves of earthquake relief equipment were hoisted, and in a very short period of time, a large number of construction machinery, food, tents, fuel and other materials were delivered to the disaster area......

He even quickly drew inferences: because of this strong support, the people in the disaster area were quickly rescued, and a large number of people who were crushed under the buildings were also excavated as soon as possible, and at this time, the helicopter played another role: to transport the injured people to nearby cities for treatment in time......

Chen Gengke didn't know that there was such a brain supplement activity in the big guy's mind, he continued: "This is still the flat North China Plain, and the Yun@Nan and Bashu regions have always been earthquake-prone areas in China, where there are many mountains, the terrain is more complex, and it is very easy to have landslides to block the road, coupled with abundant precipitation, once a geological disaster occurs, it is easy to form a dammed lake."

At this time, the disaster relief troops may not be able to enter the disaster at the first time, if there are heavy helicopters carrying machinery and equipment to enter the site at the first time, clear the road, clean up the dammed lake, and clean up the garbage in the disaster area......"

The big guy's eyes are red!

As a senior general of the military, he certainly knows that the southwest region is an area prone to geological disasters, and he also knows that the actual situation is indeed as Chen Geng said, once a geological disaster occurs in the southwest region, it is usually accompanied by the occurrence of special associated geological disasters such as landslides and dammed lakes.

In the past, how did you deal with geological disasters such as earthquakes in the southwest region?

I don't seem to think it's all wrong, but now that I think about it......

"But ......" Holding back the excitement in his heart, the big guy couldn't help but say: "Like the heavy helicopters you said about the CH-54 'Tahe', CH-47 'Chinook', and CH-53 'Stallion', the Americans are willing to sell them to us?"

He couldn't believe it: These equipment are real national weapons, and the Americans are willing to sell them? Are they crazy?

Chen Geng smiled and said: "The external sales of these equipment must be controlled by the US government, but whether it is Chinook, Tahe or Stallion, there are civilian models, such as the civilian model of CH-47 'Chinook' is Boeing Model-234, the civilian model of CH-54 'Tahe' is S-64 'Aerial Crane', the civilian model of UH-60 'Black Hawk' is S-70, and the civilian model of CH-53 'Stallion' is S-65.

The current situation is that the United States very much hopes to improve the strength of China to balance the Soviet Union, and to be honest, the Americans are still very simple, as long as the country says that the purpose of introducing these equipment is to fight the earthquake and develop the economy, the US government is likely to approve it......

In addition, in addition to earthquake relief, these equipment can actually make a great contribution to the development of the national economy, such as the construction of power lines, many times the towers necessary for high-voltage remote transmission and transformation lines must be built in the mountainous areas where there is no road, and it is very difficult to build a circuit tower, but if you use an S-64 'aerial crane' to lift the wire towers in the mountainous areas, as long as the personnel are in place, it is actually a matter of tightening the screws.

The Soviets also used helicopters to lift all kinds of materials in the process of developing oil fields in Siberia......"

Listening to Chen Geng's eloquent talk, the big guy who had greatly gained knowledge felt a kind of "it!

At the same time, he became more and more determined in his heart that he had to ask Chen Geng to serve as the general counsel of the Chinese side: With such a guy who is familiar with the situation in the United States and China at the same time as our adviser, we can suffer less losses.

Even, the bigwig began to feel that if he could exchange a ticket to the domestic civil aviation industry for Chen Geng's support in the introduction of technology to the United States, Huaxia would actually make a fortune.

More than one person is paying attention to the movement here, the military boss thinks so, and those who have been silently paying attention to the movement here but not speaking also think so in their hearts, compared to the benefits we can get, let Chen Geng enter the civil aviation field to get a piece of the benefits of giving out, we actually make a lot of money!

Chen Gengke didn't know that he had won so many supporters in just such a short time, and he was still thinking in his heart: After saying so much, it should be about the same, right?

As for whether what he said would cause Huaxia to directly get rid of himself and contact the US government alone, Chen Geng was not worried at all, just kidding, in this world, you know what's going on, but you have to find a channel to operate, and knowing is never a completely different thing from being able to do it.

It was also at this time that the big guy spoke again: "Xiao Chen, what do you think if we buy fighter jets from the Americans, what kind of fighter jets can they sell us?"

"Fighters?"

"Well, fighter," the big guy nodded, he didn't say why.
