Chapter 560: Truth
In the winter of this year, Hu Wenhai met an old friend in Moscow who he had not seen for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It used to be this old friend, and when he returned to China, he was the first to meet him as an official representative and support him to restructure the 501 factory into a new technology company.
It was also with his support that the country finally launched the F-14 imitation program, so that the Panda project could be established under the premise of financial difficulties.
"Secretary Huang!"
Hu Wenhai looked at the group of officers who got off the car with some surprise, and the leader of the team was an old acquaintance, Secretary Huang.
"Hey, we've known each other for five years, right?"
Secretary Huang leaned on Hu Wenhai's shoulders and looked him up and down seriously: "I can't believe that in five years, that kid who specializes in causing trouble has grown into the richest man in the world who can decide the international situation!"
"Okay, others don't know, Secretary Huang, we are old acquaintances, don't shiver with me!"
Hu Wenhai said with a smile: "I, I can't learn the appearance of those big people at any time." There was a lot of trouble, and if someone hadn't helped wipe his ass, he would have caused a big problem a long time ago. ”
"You're right, I don't think you can live in peace wherever you go. I thought you would be able to stop when you went to the Soviet Union, but it turned out that something big happened. ”
Secretary Huang looked left and right, and said with a twinkle in his eyes: "How sure are you about this incident? Can you buy the most advanced fighter plane in the Soviet Union? If it is true, I really thank you on behalf of the Air Force!"
"Well, it's hard to say. ”
Hu Wenhai hesitated for a moment and hesitated: "There is no problem in selling planes, but it is difficult to say what exactly to sell, the Soviets want to sell us MiG-23 and MiG-25." ”
"Su 23?" Secretary Huang shook his head: "How can we buy this, there are still fewer of them in the sky of Annan? Regardless of whether it is a MiG-23 or a MiG-25, the Air Force is not interested in second-generation aircraft. Third-generation aircraft are playing an increasingly important role in the international arena, and our air force is already too backward to spend precious money on models that have already been phased out. China is not Annam, and a second-rate air force is equivalent to no air force. ”
"The Soviets have always been like this, and even if they sell arms to their allies, they are castrated monkey versions. MiG-23 and MiG-25,-"
Speaking of this, Hu Wenhai couldn't help but pursed his lips, snorted and said: "This is to send Hanako, in fact, I look at their hole cards, they are selling MiG-29 to us." But to be honest, I don't think the MiG-29 is suitable for China. I suggest that our efforts should be focused on tackling the problems that the Soviet Union sold the complete machine and production line of the Su-27 to us. ”
"Su-27!"
Secretary Huang's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Is this possible?" The Su-27 is the most advanced fighter of the Soviet Union, how can this be sold?"
"Secretary Huang, your specific situation is analyzed in detail!" Hu Wenhai shook his fingers and said with a smile: "Now we have the initiative, if you can't even afford to eat, what's the use of the toys in your hands no matter how bright and beautiful they are?"
"I have a pretty good understanding of the economic situation in the USSR over the course of the year. Believe me, the day when the USSR will not be able to uncover the pot is not far off. ”
"No, this is the Soviet Union. "For a person of Secretary Huang's age, it is too much of a test of imagination to believe that the mighty Soviet Union would fall into such a state.
Hu Wenhai is upright: "The situation will only be more serious than I said!"
"That's good. ”
Secretary Huang was quite excited about Hu Wenhai's confidence, and nodded: "I think Mr. Hu should also know that Grumman has officially announced that it will completely stop trading with our F-14 fighter jets next year because of the requirements of the US Congress." ”
Hu Wenhai nodded, and history continued to move forward according to its own inertia. Because of what happened in the magic capital last year, the country swept away foreign forces that tried to buy stocks privately, and the Western media immediately pointed the finger at that incident. As a result, while ST Group's shares mitigated the financial danger at the time, they were perceived by the West as interfering with economic freedoms and the so-called "Ren Quan".
After the fermentation of public opinion, the situation this year has become very unfavorable to China. The U.S. Congress passed a resolution calling for the cessation of all military cooperation with China.
Although Grumman was full of reluctance, he could only follow the resolution of the Congress. This is the end of the short honeymoon between the United States and China.
Imports of F-14 fighters began in 1985 and ended in 1990. China imported a total of 121 F-14 fighter jets from Grumman, including 20 F-14 fighter jets delivered by Grumman in the form of spare parts in the form of aircraft spare parts in the previous year in 1990 through supplementary agreements.
Fortunately, China introduced the F-14 overhaul line at the beginning, and after getting the parts, Xifei guaranteed that it could be assembled at a rate of five to eight fighters per year. It is expected that in two to three years, the number of Chinese F-14 fighters will reach 121 units.
However, after tasting the sweetness of the third-generation aircraft, whether it is the Air Force or the Navy looking back at the Jian-7 and Jian-8, it is inevitable that they will dislike it from the heart.
But the problem is that China's vast airspace cannot be defended by relying only on such a large number of F-14s. Either continue to produce large quantities of J-7 and J-8, or we will have to find new sources of third-generation aircraft.
At this time when the green and yellow were not connected, suddenly rain fell from the sky. The embassy in the USSR turned out to have news that the Soviets might be willing to sell their third-generation fighters to China!
Soberly aware that it is impossible for China to form a third-generation aircraft production capacity in a short period of time, there are many calls in the air force to advocate the introduction of advanced fighters -- in fact, this is also a very helpless thing for the air force; if the Baodao Air Force is taken as an imaginary enemy, the air force composed of Jian-7 and Jian-8 will not be able to accomplish its national defense mission. In the face of a large number of third-generation aircraft equipped with F-5E, F-16, Mirage 2000, and IDF, which are being equipped, it is an extravagant hope that the mainland will even be tied.
Under such a cognition, is it difficult to ask the Air Force to wait patiently for another eight years to produce a bunch of second-generation aircraft that have no deterrent effect on the treasure island, and wait for the Panda project team to come out with the possible results?
And to put it mildly, what if the localization of pandas fails?
The olive branch handed out by the Soviet Union at the right time was really too timely.
After Secretary Huang lamented the opportunity to lose the F-14, he said excitedly: "But if you can really get the Su-27, it will be an unexpected joy." The Soviets were also in contact with the Soviets last year, and they were reluctant to sell even the MiG-29. ”
Hu Wenhai smiled, shook his head and said: "The phoenix with falling hair is not as good as a chicken, at this time and that time, the Soviet Union still had the capital to have a hard mouth." But today, the Soviets also have to bow their heads in front of money. ”
"Well, I'm afraid that the Soviets will open their mouths! What the domestic means is to conduct an inspection of the MiG-29 first to see if it can meet our needs. If not, it is also possible to try to introduce the MiG-31. China's territory is too large, and the MiG-29 is otherwise fine, but the range is too short to meet the needs of the Air Force for cross-strait strikes. ”
Speaking of the short legs of the MiG-29, it is indeed an eternal pain in MiG's heart. As a front-line aircraft, the MiG-29 can PK and throw mud, which is actually a good multi-purpose platform. However, even if it is fully filled with fuel, it can only fly for an hour, and it is really unable to meet China's needs in the strait operation. What's more, if you want to use the MiG-29 to meet China's national defense and air defense, then the number of aircraft needed is at least thousand, and the cost of building an airfield alone is enough to pay for the Cayenne - oh, no, it is to add money to the Su-27.
The MiG-31 is different, as the successor to the famous MiG-25 Foxhound, the MiG-31 Foxhound can fly at a speed of Mach 3.2, and is an excellent interceptor that can meet the needs of the Soviet Union's territorial air defense in such a large area.
But even the MiG-31, of course, is far inferior to the classic Su-27 in Hu Wenhai's eyes.
I saw Hu Wenhai stubbornly shook his head and insisted: "No, whether it is the MiG-29 or the MiG-31, there is no Su-27 that suits China's needs." The Soviets can still be hard-mouthed, but you see, soon they will have to count what is still valuable in the old house, and then sell it all in one go. Because if you don't sell it now, you may not be able to sell it in the future. ”
"Well, I'll listen to you. Secretary Huang smiled lightly and said, "This money is from China Railway Construction Investment Bank, of course, it is mainly based on you." ”
In fact, don't look at Secretary Huang's smile so easily, he can compromise so easily, that is also Hu Wenhai's achievements in military strategy and international strategy over the years.
Whether it is electronic warfare, cyber warfare, or grasping the world situation, there has not been a time when he has made a mistake in judgment for so many years.
Since he said that the Su-27 is more suitable, then the Air Force has reason to pay attention to whether the combat effectiveness of the Su-27 can really meet the needs of the Chinese Air Force. He said that the Soviets might agree to sell the Su-27, so don't look at the tightness of the Soviets' mouths now, sooner or later they will change their attitude.
What? Why is what Hu Wenhai is saying the truth?
If you want to make your words the truth to others, you will have the ability to predict a stock market crash in the United States! If you have the ability to seize the Plaza Accord, you will make a lot of money in Japan!
If you don't believe Hu Wenhai's vision, it's hard to believe the statements of those anti-thieves in the Academy of Social Sciences?
Secretary Huang just made up his mind, with Hu Wenhai's record, there is nothing he wants to do that he can't do. Since this is the case, then it would be good for him to make a bet and fully support what Hu Wenhai is going to do.
If the Su-27 can really be imported from the Soviet Union, it will be a great achievement.
"Alright, we still have a long way to go in the USSR. HU WENHAI PATTED SECRETARY HUANG ON THE SHOULDER AND PULLED THE PERSON INTO THE COURTYARD OF NEWMART'S OFFICE HEADQUARTERS: "SETTLE DOWN FIRST, AND I WILL INVITE EVERYONE TO TASTE RUSSIAN DINNER IN THE EVENING! AND THEN TAKE A GOOD WALK AROUND MOSCOW, PLAY EVERYTHING YOU CAN, AND THEN THINK ABOUT WORK!"
