"Huh?"

Hu Wenhai looked at the plane that had already begun to land with some surprise, and asked Lin Qianjun incredulously: "Director Lin, isn't this the F-14 of the US military? I remember that we bought a new model for 24 million US dollars this year, why did we suddenly fly back a second-hand car?"

"Ahem, that's how it goes......"

Lin Qianjun said with some embarrassment: "Several domestic research institutes heard that the country has placed an order for the F-14, and they can't wait until next year to accept the new aircraft." So I negotiated with Grumman and exchanged the price of a new aircraft for two second-hand goods that the US military had used for several years......"

"China is also considering, hoping to be able to grasp the performance of the F-14 and the use of the third-generation aircraft as soon as possible, so I agreed to this exchange. ”

"F-14's second-hand mobile phone, one for two......" Hu Wenhai smacked his lips, well, this business is really not suitable or not.

Of course, it is unpleasant for a new car to become second-hand, but the state often does not consider this when buying weapons, as long as it is easy to use! Three years of new, three years of old, three years of sewing and mending, things like fighter jets, overhauls, life extensions and the like, didn't the Tomcats of the 70s also fly in the skies of Iran to 2015?

But that's $24 million in '85, and tsk, to be honest, that's worth $240 million for the 21st century. The cost of an F-22 was only 150 million in 2009!

$24 million to buy back two used cars, which looks like a loss no matter how you look at it. This is not 88 waiting for planes to fight Annan monkeys, 85 years are at least four and a half years away from breaking up with the Americans, enough to receive a fighter from the F-14 squadron every year.

At least until four years from now, China will be able to have no less than 50 F-14 fighters, where is the need to pick up the second-hand junk of the first class of US imperialism!

Forget it, it's also for research anyway, and I can't care too much about performance and new and old. Hu Wenhai comforted himself so much in his heart, Qian Air Force will not lose any points to himself, so be it!

With the landing of the first F-14 fighter jet, many people on the side of the runway looked excitedly at this legendary aircraft.

Tomcat's name has long been famous for his outstanding performance in the Iran-Iraq war. Its majestic appearance is about to be put on the screen. When TOPGUN is put on the big screen, I believe that more people will become its emotional party.

The plane, which had landed, had shark eyes and sharp teeth depicted on the nose, and the emblem on the tail was a falling sun.

Hu Wenhai recognized it at a glance, isn't this the Sunset Squadron livery configured by the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier? Tsk, the US imperialists really paid for it, and this plane flew directly from the Hawaii base, right?

Although the plane still retains its unique livery, the logo of the US military on it has been completely removed. The integrated gray low-visibility paint is a lot more foreign than the green-headed paint that the PLA Air Force loves nowadays.

As the first plane landed, soon the roar of another plane appeared in the sky. After a while, everyone saw the second plane flap its wings lightly, and the nose was aimed in the direction of the runway.

Just when everyone thought it was about to land, the F-14 fighter, which had already begun to enter the landing procedure, suddenly accelerated at an altitude of less than two meters above the ground!

"Oh, the ship is back in flight!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"That angle of attack was 30 degrees! Oh my God!"

Today's weather can be said to be clear and cloudless, there is no sudden strong wind in the sky at this time, and the F-14 landed on a smooth flight runway instead of a fluctuating aircraft carrier deck - in fact, people with a little common sense know that this plane does not need to do this kind of maneuver at all, and the conditions just now fully meet the landing standards!

The Americans are showing off, showing off the powerful combat effectiveness of the F-14.

But in the crowd, no one cared about the arrogance shown by the Americans, but was indeed impressed by the powerful performance of the F-14.

The re-flying F-14 flew a low-altitude clearance, flew off the runway, pulled up and circled in the sky, and then finally successfully completed the landing next time.

The two F-14s were parked steadily on the runway, and the ground service car at the airport hurriedly drove over. The cockpit canopy opened, and four American pilots got out of the plane and walked towards the crowd with their toes high.

"Let's go, Director Lin. After watching a big show, Hu Wenhai suddenly felt excited, and simply told Lin Qianjun to turn around and leave.

I thought that the army could arrange for him to be a transport plane to the imperial capital so quickly, and by the way, let him take a look at the F-14, which made an important contribution to the introduction, was also one of the reasons.

It should be said that this is good intentions, but from Hu Wenhai's point of view, it made him suddenly realize that this is not the era when China's fourth-generation aircraft will come out in 30 years.

It's not that we have J-11! There are J-11, J-15, J-16! There are fortunes, there are flying leopards, there are J-20 that is about to be completed, and there are unfinished falcons!

At that time, Hu Wenhai could naturally relish that he was a cat party, and appreciate the heroic posture of the tomcat soaring in the sky with a peaceful mind.

But at this moment, what Hu Wenhai could feel was humiliation. The city children came to the countryside for the New Year and brought new toys, and the country children didn't even want their self-esteem in order to touch this good thing that they had never seen before.

Wait and see, the bear kids in the next class, and one day you'll be drooling over our new toys too!

Hu Wenhai left the crowd without looking back, and now he especially hoped that he could convince those who had the power to make decisions, so that one day he could enjoy Yingchan's "I'm dumb" expression.

Lin Qianjun shouted a few times behind him, and saw that Hu Wenhai was determined not to look back, so he had no choice but to follow.

Coming out of the airport by car, to Hu Wenhai's surprise, Zhai Youjiang didn't stay, but took a ride and went back to the imperial city together.

"Heh, Comrade Xiao Hu seems to be a lover of personality!" Zhai Youjiang smiled pointedly: "It's better to be young, and only when you are young will you have a heart!"

"Elder Zhai, hey!" Lin Qianjun sighed for a while: "Commander Lin wants to see President Hu by name, and now he has to find time again." ”

Hu Wenhai shook his head lightly: "It's better not to see you, Commander Lin's level is too high, maybe I will be pinched in two by the river crab pincers!"

"Uh, what does that mean?"

"It's not interesting, it's just a bunch of guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard. ”

……

Lin Qianjun drove to the gate of the compound in an alley near Guang'anmen in the imperial capital, and the two guards standing guard saluted and carefully checked the documents he handed over.

Put it in the city below, I don't know what kind of institution it is, but there are two guards standing guard at the door, and the pedestrians passing by at the gate are in a hurry.

But after all, the imperial capital, this kind of courtyard without a sign is everywhere in the imperial capital, and when Shan Hu Wenhai saw pedestrians passing by from time to time at the gate, he was obviously already surprised.

After checking Lin Qianjun's documents, the guards waved their hands to let the car go. The car drove towards the courtyard and soon stopped in front of a small red building.

"Elder Zhai, where are you going? Why don't you ask Mr. Hu to wait a minute, and I'll send you over first?" Lin Qianjun turned his head and asked Zhai Youjiang what he meant.

"Oh, it just so happens that I don't have anything to do, so I might as well listen to Comrade Xiaohu's high opinions. Zhai Youjiang looked like an old child who had eaten Lin Qianjun, and jumped out of the car directly.

"Hey, I said Director Lin, is my secret level not enough?"

"Where, Zhai Lao is an expert in aviation, and of course he is qualified to participate in the discussion. Lin Qianjun had no choice but to lock the car and invite Hu Wenhai and Zhai Youjiang into this small building.

"This is an institute of the Second Department of the General Staff, and many experts have been invited by the General Staff to make various conjectures and studies on future wars. The collection of information on the armies of various countries in the world is relatively complete, and it can be regarded as a frontier of exploration of the theory of war for the whole army. ”

As Lin Qianjun spoke, he pushed open the door of a conference room. There were already people sitting at the conference table in the door, there were two or three gray-haired old people, more middle-aged people who looked in their forties, and only a few "young people" in their thirties.

There were melons and fruits on the conference table, and everyone had a cup of tea in front of them. At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was harmonious, the old people drank tea and ate melons slowly, the middle-aged people talked one by one, and the young people shrank in the corner and listened humbly.

"I think the Iran-Iraq war can no longer be fought, the economies of both sides are already very dangerous, and it is impossible to solve the war quickly, so the possibility of peace talks is very high. ”

"Director Tan is right, the two sides of the Iran-Iraq war have invested so many advanced weapons, but the facts have proved that the current high-tech weapons are not suitable for the large-scale battlefield environment. It is unrealistic for either side to expect to destroy the other for a while, and peace does seem to be on the horizon. However, this also shows that it is very necessary for our country to maintain a large-scale army, and the army's belief in a decisive battle is the key to determining the outcome of a war. ”

"In my opinion, it is still necessary to emphasize the firepower of the army, only powerful firepower can deter the enemy, hit the morale of the enemy's resistance, and quickly decide the outcome of the war!"

"Yes, yes, maintaining the size of the army and increasing the density of firepower is the key to victory in the war! Look at the fact that when we fight Annam, don't we also bombard it with artillery all the way? There are not so many cannons, and when we compare the quality of the Annan people in our early years, we still don't know who will win or lose!"

Hu Wenhai stopped Lin Qianjun from wanting to introduce himself, suddenly slammed the table, looked around the conference room and said loudly.

"I think that the Iran-Iraq war has just proved that if the Chinese army does not upgrade its system and improve its military and technological quality, the result will be the same as the two idiots of Iran and Iraq, fighting a low-tech war under high-tech conditions!"
