"Chief, you misunderstood me. It's not about money. Xie Kai hurriedly explained when he heard that Commander Wang had misunderstood.

How do you know, Commander Wang didn't give him a chance to explain at all, "Misunderstanding? It's not a matter of money, you 404 sell equipment, as long as you give money, give enough money, what don't you sell? If you have an atomic bomb in your hands and the buyer gives enough money, it is estimated that you will all sell it secretly!"

Xie Kai was speechless.

404 people, the reputation of dying for money, this is completely spreading.

The atomic bomb cannot be sold, and no matter how much money you have, you can't sell it. Commander Wang obviously didn't know that the 404 base contained an atomic bomb and the great east wind of the global express atomic bomb.

"Commander, we give ourselves better fighters for the Air Force. Xie Kai waited for Commander Wang to finish firing before he opened his mouth to explain, "The prototype has been manufactured, all of them are domestic, the engines are all domestic, and the twin engines have greatly improved the range and bomb load." ”

Commander Wang was stunned.

He didn't know whether Xie Kai's words were true or false.

I have never heard of a unit fighter being developed so quickly.

Not in the whole world.

In any country, it will not be feasible to engage in a fighter from design to installation?

looked at Xie Kai with a look of disbelief.

Xie Kai explained, "Chief, when this matter is over, you can go to Factory 132 to see it in person." Super -7B, has begun prototype production, although there is still a gap with the top international fighters in terms of performance, it is much better than the domestic one, and much better than the Super -7A. ”

This is no joke.

The super-7A is just an emergency project, and the market positioning is to sell abroad.

"Really, you can't change some designs into another version in order to sell them, and the overall performance has not changed substantially, right?" Commander Wang didn't know the bottom in his heart, "When did our domestic aviation R&D and manufacturing technology become so powerful?"

The level of the domestic aviation manufacturing industry is indeed not very good.

The Air Force is backward in equipment, otherwise it would not consider importing advanced fighters from the world to enhance the Air Force's combat effectiveness.

As a result, they investigated a lot and found that advanced fighters were too expensive to afford at all, and in the end they could only accept the compromise plan of the United States to help improve the J-8II.

"Just look at it. Xie Kai didn't explain much, and now he wants to sell the Super 7A to the Americans, so that they think that this fighter will really be China's next-generation main fighter.

But at the moment, the Americans don't know the specific performance, isn't it?

The range or something is really shorter.

The bomb load is more than one ton, which is not much worse than the J-7 and so on, and domestic bombers can only carry a few tons of bombs.

It didn't take long for Capers to learn about the cause of the F-16 crash, and he never imagined that his plan to use such an opportunity to sell the F-16/79, a fighter with limited performance, to China would eventually be completely hopeless because of poor performance.

However, he still wanted to give it a try, even if the chances were slim, he was not ready to give up just like that.

"General, this crash was a human error, and it was the operational error of our pilot that caused the crash......" Jonathan cheekily explained the reason for the crash to General Zhang.

General Zhang did not expect that the Americans would not give up until now.

"Although there were accidents, it must not be hidden that this is a very well-designed fighter. It performs better than the F-16 in terms of high-altitude and high-speed performance, and its maneuverability and maneuverability at low altitudes are also very good. Seeing that the Chinese military boss was silent, Carpus signaled and continued to explain directly.

Seeing that the other party still didn't speak, Capers couldn't help it, "General, although there was an accident, although the turbojet engine was used, the avionics system and fire control radar were the same ...... as the standard F-16."

So far, they don't think that the F-16/79 will be much worse than the Super -7A made by China, although they don't know the model and specific parameters so far.

has already made an appearance at the air show, and it will certainly not continue to be kept secret.

General Zhang had no choice but to speak, "Indeed, the design of this fighter of your country is very good, and the performance displayed has made us all express very high interest. However, under the current circumstances, we believe that the mainstream of the world is peace and development, and the possibility of war breaking out is very small, especially since we are even less likely to fight a war with our neighbors, and our national defense strategy is defensive ...... Although our Air Force is in dire need of upgrading and updating its equipment, under the current basic national policy, everything is to make way for the economic infrastructure......"

The meaning is obvious - what China needs at present is economic construction, not advanced equipment.

"In the absence of the threat of war, the J-7 and J-8 and other fighters equipped by our Air Force will last for another decade or two. ”

Although the J-7 and J-8 are lagging behind, there is still no problem in carrying out the defensive tasks under the national defense strategy of strategic defense.

Change it, fix it, and it can be used for decades.

China is not a powerful superpower like the United States and the Soviet Union, but it is also a big country, and it is not so easy to fight China.

What's more, China has always had a strategic nuclear deterrent capability, and even if it can't grow mushrooms around the world, it still has the ability to counterattack in the event of a nuclear strike.

War, unlikely.

It is not those small countries in the Middle East, not to mention that China does not hold the world's economic lifeline, making the whole world uneasy.

Earning your own small money with peace of mind is the king.

Capus saw that the Chinese were still tight, and their sales pitch could not make any progress, so he could only go back and discuss the strategy first.

"They think they have more advanced fighter planes in their country! The Thunderbird people are really having to drop their fighters at such a critical moment!" Jonathan was very angry, "If China refuses to purchase this kind of fighter planes from us, this will seriously affect our national defense strategy!"

"We've got to get this out of the way. The crash of the F-16/79 during the performance gave the Chinese military, which was already not very optimistic about the fighter, even more reason to refuse. Alex said solemnly.

The marketing of F-16/79 fighters to China is not just for China to have fighters that can intercept the TU-22M Backfire fighters and MiG-25s deployed by the Soviet Union in the Far East.

Once the Chinese Air Force procures the F-16/79, the Air Force's limited funds will be squeezed out.

At present, China is resolutely and unswervingly engaged in economic construction, and all military projects make way for economic construction, and as long as they are purchased, there will be no funds to continue to invest in the research and development of new fighters.

Imitation?

That's not afraid.

The F-16/79 was originally a backward turbojet engine, and they said that the avionics system and fire control system were the same as the standard F-16, so is that possible?

The standard F-16 has a minimum selling price of $40 million, while the F-16/79 can be sold for as little as $22 million.

If nothing else, the standard F-16 has data link functions, satellite navigation systems and other functions, which are not owned by the F-16/79.

"Now the problem is that China has fighter planes that can reject us. Capers knew what was going on, "They originally thought that there was no possibility of war, and the need for defense was not very urgent. ”

Because China felt that a large-scale war was impossible, at most a local small-scale war broke out.

Even if the war on the southwestern border has not yet ended, so far, China is still focusing on economic infrastructure construction, not to mention increasing military spending, but reducing military spending after the previous million-dollar disarmament.

With a fighter like the Super 7A, which seems to have good maneuverability, they have even more reason not to purchase the American F-16/79, which can be regarded as a fighter specially developed for China.

"Your Excellency, our imaginary enemy forces can purchase a batch of Chinese fighters, so that we can not only understand the detailed parameters of their fighters, but also simulate their combat style...... The Chinese Air Force has always used Soviet-style fighters to fight...... The MiG-21 is already far behind. "Alex is not like Jonathan, who only thinks about selling fighter jets to China.

Although China is in a honeymoon period with Western countries, it is because it has a common enemy.

"This is impossible! We have the most advanced fighter in the world!" Jonathan jumped up suddenly, "If it is spread out, it will make those countries that do not know the inside situation think that China's fighter has surpassed us, and it is extremely unfavorable to the export of F-16 and our national defense strategy!"

After all, it has a deep relationship with GM.

Jonathan's first and foremost concern is the interests of GM.

Capers glanced at an excited Jonathan and asked Alex with interest, "Why?"

He had thought that before.

It is not enough to rely on the MiG-21 as an imaginary enemy force for the powerful US Air Force and Naval Air Force.

The equipment is too backward and does not fit.

"The Soviet engines used in their fighter planes! China's relations with the Soviet Union are returning to normal. It is said internationally that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests...... It is quite possible that the design of this Chinese fighter has the shadow of the Soviets. Alex said solemnly.

His reasoning is very reasonable.

The technical strength and design level of China's aviation manufacturing industry are known to the whole world.

It was completely surprising to quietly come up with such a fighter with excellent fighting performance.

There was no one to help, which was all the more surprising.

Unless, China's technological strength is hidden too much, if that is really the case, China still needs to introduce foreign technology?

The small amount of foreign exchange will be spent on the United States to help improve the design of the J-8II?

"So, most likely, this is derived from the technology of the new Soviet fighter, as our imaginary enemy, the maneuverability of this fighter, is enough. "Alex's analysis makes perfect sense.

For such reasons, the United States must buy.

Just because Sino-US relations are good now does not mean that they will always be good in the future.

The social systems and ideologies of both countries are different.

"Then find out, and if you can, buy a batch!" Cappers nodded.
