Chapter 578: The Aftermath of the Story

When Wu Daguan said this, he paused for a while, and the leading cadres and engineers of Xifei who were present actually had an answer in their hearts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But they still listened to the story word for word, and the only thing that was quiet in the conference room was Wu Daguan's voice, and no one dared to make a sound to interrupt his narration.

The reason is simple, they want to hear the mystery of this story so badly. And the answer they came up with was really amazing.

They had to have Wu Daguan say it himself before they dared to believe that such a thing would happen.

No one spoke, so Wu Daguan had no choice but to continue.

"The solution proposed by this General Dynamics engineer is very simple, since we can't get the intelligence of the Soviet fourth-generation aircraft, then let's simply design it for the Soviets!"

As a result, General Dynamics began to speculate on the development trend of the next generation of Soviet fighters, and sought answers in GM's own research. According to the technical route of the USSR, combined with the design features of the enemy and the industrial situation, a universal version of the MiG fighter was designed with the technical ideas of the Americans. ”

"When intelligence on the MiG-2000 fighter was leaked, it caused a sensation throughout the West and the Soviet Union. Naturally, the MiG Design Bureau will never admit that its fighter jets have leaked, and of course there were no leaks originally. But no matter how they interpret it, people just believe that this is the MiG stealth fighter of the future. In fact, this American-designed MiG-2000 fighter, General Dynamics even has plans to conduct internal research and development. If all goes well, maybe General Dynamics can really use American taxpayers' money to create Soviet MiGs as imaginary enemies. ”

Of course, Wu Daguan's story from Hu Wenhai did not tell the whole story.

What he didn't know was that General Dynamics' internal name V6ZZ originated from the Navy's light vertical take-off and landing fighter program in the 70s, and in fact the so-called MiG-2000 was the universal elimination scheme for this program in the bidding - TF-120.

GM's plan to resurrect the elimination program in the name of manufacturing the Soviet Union's imaginary enemy aircraft is really a good idea. The resulting products can be used not only to supply imaginary enemy units, but also to allies, and even form a high-low match with the F22.

There is a lot of money.

But people are not as good as heaven, and just when the V6ZZ project came to fruition, the time came to 1991. The Soviet Union, under the incredulous gaze of all, collapsed with a bang.

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the world's bipolar pattern meant the end of the Cold War military race, which seemed to last until the world was destroyed.

The plan of the Americans to "help" the Soviet Union to build a fourth-generation aircraft has been stranded indefinitely, and basically it is completely impossible.

The great plan of a generation came to an end in such a way. It's like popping to the end but not orgasm, it's really embarrassing.

Of course, there is still a little comfort in this world.

The Soviet threat in the eyes of the Americans in 2000, the realistic version of the MiG-2000, the MiG-1.44, made its first successful flight in 2000.

Well, and then for the next 17 years, the MiG-1.44 technology demonstrator became a must.

Although the imaginary MiG-2000 did not become a reality in the Soviet Union, 11 years after 2000, China's fourth-generation aircraft followed the technical route of the MiG-2000.

Regardless of whether there is any inspiration or indirect relationship between the J-20 and the MiG-2000, or just the inevitable similarity of technological development, at least in appearance they do have some shadows of each other.

Of course, if there are some conspiracy theories and a black belly, there is absolutely no disrespect for the J-20, just an empty brain.

After suffering enough from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of its opponents, the US defense and military industrial complex looked at the whole world, and I am afraid that it regretted pushing the Soviet Union too hard.

When you lose the enemy, you lose the threat, and then you lose profit. After the defeat of Dugu, the F22 was immediately abandoned by the congressional masters, and the number of aircraft in service was cut to only 187.

If the US military continues to be invincible in the world, I am afraid that the US arms groups will never want to sell a chopstick to the US Air Force again. And with the situation of Maozi after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is obvious that he cannot bear the burden of this imaginary enemy.

In this case, leak some of the contents of the TF-120, which has long been stillborn, to China......

Who can say that such a thing does not exist? Or there is no such thing in reality, but the US military-industrial complex will definitely not lack the courage to do so.

The results of the J-20 are, of course, absolutely the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese themselves, and the performance of the J-20 far exceeds the limits of the TF-120, and the two actually have little to do with each other except for the appearance.

If there is, it also means that China's industrial capacity has caught up with and surpassed the Soviet Union at that time. The dream model designed by General Motors in accordance with the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union has become a reality.

Industrial capacity determines the technical route, and the similarity between the two can only be said to be the inevitable development of technology. The so-called brain hole is just imagining such a possibility.

With the discipline of the US military-industrial complex, it should be said that such a situation is not an impossible thing. On the contrary, the military-industrial complex has a long and glorious tradition in this regard.

It's not that the Chinese Air Force just had the J-20, and immediately the F-35 opened a big order, and the footbasin chicken no longer mentions anything, only holding the leg of the beautiful father and willingly paying the protection fee.

For the US military-industrial complex, the closest relatives must be the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Since the J-20 was put into service, the US military industrial stock suddenly ushered in its own spring. The F-35 is out of stock, there is hope for the F22 production line to restart, the South Koreans are going to meet THAAD, and the congressional lords are happy to allocate funds.

Recall the line in King of War, "If you don't sell arms to fight your own country, you can't be an international arms dealer."

Obviously, Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon, as well as General Dynamics, are all well-deserved "international arms dealers"!

Wu Daguan waited for a while, letting the people from Xifei reminisce about this story before continuing.

"The future improvement path of the Panda fighter will definitely depend on our own efforts as Chinese. What I want to illustrate in this story is that we must not overestimate the discipline of the US arms syndicate. For the sake of profit, they do everything. ”

"General Dynamics can design a fourth-generation aircraft for the Soviets, why can't it talk to us secretly?"

"There is no doubt about the performance of the F-14 fighter, and the U.S. Navy has been planning to transform the F-14 or F-18 into a common platform for many years. And once this competition is decided, the result will inevitably be that one model will be eliminated. Just think about it, for Grumman, if we can successfully complete the localization of the Panda, what will it mean for the F-14?"

The F-18 was originally designed to be used as a low-cost light fighter to match the F-14, and it was absolutely impossible to compete with the F-14 in terms of performance, and only in terms of cost.

Historically, the F-18 was able to replace the F-14 as the only carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, and it was by no means that the F-14 was inferior to the F-18 in combat effectiveness. There was only one reason for the defeat of the F-14, after the collapse of the USSR, the empire no longer needed such a good fighter.

As soon as Wu Daguan's question was raised, someone in Xifei on the other side subconsciously expressed his guess.

"If Sino-US relations do not return to the level before last year, and our self-produced Panda fighter poses a threat to Treasure Island and Japan, the US Navy will definitely not dare to remove the F-14 from the combat sequence. ”

"Yes!"

Wu Daguan nodded vigorously: "As long as there is a threat from us, the F-14 will be invincible in this competition." So if China can't localize the Panda fighter, maybe Grumman will be even more anxious than ourselves!"

"This ......"

Such a conclusion made everyone in the audience stunned for a while, obviously this situation seems to be full of unreality, but on the other hand, it seems that intuition tells everyone that this is really possible!

"However, Grumman's support cannot be relied on, we still have to fight our own hardness!" Wu Daguan was worried that Xifei would lose his motivation, and hurriedly said: "Only when our own industrial capacity reaches the level of manufacturing Panda fighters, Grumman's channel can become a reality." If the manufacturing capacity is not up to standard, what is the use of giving a full set of original design drawings?"

"The key is to fly west, whether you have the determination!" Tu Jida also helped: "The country has invested a huge amount of resources in the Panda fighter, which is both an opportunity and a challenge. How about it, does Xifei have the courage to pick up this burden?"

Chang Chang, the general manager of Xifei, nodded lightly and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, since the country has entrusted us with this arduous task, it is the greatest trust in us. I think that as any Xifei person, there is no reason to refuse the trust of the state. The Panda localization project is of great importance, and our 603 Institute, as the technical support of Xifei Group, is even more important. Cooperating with the Panda localization project team to realize the preparation for the production of Panda fighters in the west is the most important task of the 603 Institute in the next two five-year plans. Let's all take a stand, how about it? I will take the lead first, and I will fully support all the requirements of the panda localization project!"

With Director Chang's remarks as a foundation, of course, no one among the other leading cadres of the 603 Institute below dared to object. They all nodded and spoke, patting their chests to express their full support for the panda localization project.

However, just as everyone was expressing their determination in a warm atmosphere, a voice that was not so harmonious sounded.

"Mr. Chang, I am not opposed to the panda localization project. Gong Guozheng suddenly raised his hand and said: "But Xifei wants to put into production Panda fighters, where do the resources of the production line come from?"

"Not to mention anything else, how can we solve the 80,000-ton hydraulic press that solves the Panda fighter wingbox? There are countless similar high-tech and cutting-edge equipment that need to be added to the entire production line, and the price of each one is sky-high. Xifei wants to meet all the requirements, can we bear the financial pressure?"
