"This commercial aircraft is simply too tyrant. Tang Changhu sighed.

As Yuanjia gained a firm foothold at the top of the industrial chain, some interesting influences that Liang Yuan had on the world began to become increasingly apparent, such as the term local tyrant has completely defeated the big money, and he has become a synonym for the rich.

Walking in the forefront of the popularity of the imperial capital, the style of the master in the Beijing film has also been replaced by the rich man, and the old capital blows water with a mouthful of a rich man, which makes bragging sound like some very dynamic social organization dividing the territory.

"Professor, where did this COMAC come from?"

Speaking of Tang Changhu and Shang Fei, it is quite fateful, Liang Yuan passed through that Tang Changhu was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, before Liang Yuan smuggled in, Tang Changhu had followed the MPC75 project for a period of time, and when Zhou Yuanhang integrated the MPC75 project team, Tang Changhu, who had followed the project, also entered Zhou Yuanhang's field of vision.

However, because Tang Changhu had left the group, the job invitation given by Zhou Yuanhang at that time was in Shencheng, but at that time COMAC had not yet been established, and Zhou Yuanhang issued an invitation in the name of the domestic support group of the MPC75 project.

Tang Changhu hesitated for a while after receiving the job offer, if it was to work abroad, Tang Changhu decisively jumped ship, Shencheng's project support team only had the possibility of going abroad to work, and after thinking about it for a month between the possibility of working abroad and the postgraduate entrance examination, Tang Changhu chose to study and miss COMAC.

If Tang Changhu chose to change jobs at that time, the future Leopard Master of the Navy would have to change the chief division, of course, whether the Leopard Master has changed in this life depends on whether Liang Tuhao has any big plans.

This time Tang Changhu returned to the factory during the summer vacation, and was dizzy by the top name of COMAC, feeling as if he had left the aviation field for 20 years instead of two years.

"The matter of COMAC is quite legendary, I heard that it is the enterprise of the big boss of Hong Kong Island, and the big boss of Hong Kong Island is an invisible rich man who is richer than the kind who often shows his face on TV, but this big boss of Hong Kong Island suddenly entered the aviation field, and it is related to a female student of Academician Wu Zhonghua~. ”

Rumors about Li Yuanling's life story have crossed thousands of kilometers and are thriving on the Loess Plateau.

After Cheng Yijian and Tang Changhu finished talking about this rumor, Belfast at the end of the runway had already checked all the take-off procedures, released the brakes and started to slide.

The huge propeller rumbling with the turboshaft engine propelled Befa's massive fuselage past the runway in front of them, and when the speed gauge pointed to 180 km/h, Belfast's nose slowly lifted up, leaving the ground in a very smooth curve and climbing into the sky.

"This big guy has really good low-speed performance, and he can drive faster than any imported car. ”

Staring at Belfast's distant back, Tang Changhu's tone was very gentle, and aircraft designers can always find beauty from some unknown places that the public can't find.

"Xiaotang, let's go, go back to the meeting~!"

Cheng Yijian interrupted Tang Changhu's feelings.

The plane flew away, the crowd like the temple fair at the airport began to disperse, Tang Changhu went to the conference room on the way to hear a lot of people talking about Belfast's excellent low speed, and some people dragged Yunba out for comparison, and occasionally a few people who disagreed with each other and talked about anger, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard from a distance of seven or eight meters.

Tang Changhu followed Cheng Yijian to the large conference room of the airport test flight building, and when he entered the door, he found that not only the masses came out to see the excitement, but also the entire Xifei team, except for the second-in-command who went to Beijing for a meeting, the rest were there.

However, the leader had to pretend to be a leader, except for a few bigwigs from the technical mouth, the rest did not go down to "catch the temple fair" and have fun with the people, but just watched Belfast go away in front of the conference room window.

After Cheng Yijian stepped on the front foot, several other technical deputy chief engineers in charge of instrumentation, body structure and other subsystems also came to the conference room.

Seeing that the people were almost complete, Qi Guangming, the director of Xifei Factory, knocked on the table to signal the meeting to begin.

"A few CEOs, how was the experience up close?"

Qi Guangming smiled and asked the few technical bosses who had just come up from downstairs.

"It's too picky, I negotiated with them to refuel for free, and when I arrived at the destination, I found a way to come back, and I couldn't take me once on this flight. ”

Du Cheng, who was in charge of avionics, complained first, and low laughter came from the conference room.

"This flight is confidential, and I just got the news not long ago, so the crew will definitely not add people temporarily. ”

Qi Guangming explained for the crew of Beifa.

Liang Yuan threw the matter to Ning Lei, Ning Lei would definitely not ignore the security issue, the crew of this mission Beifa only knew where to fly from where to load things, and the rest of the information was unknown.

Xifei is used to secret missions, although everyone is curious about how big things need to be loaded with big luck, but they still tacitly let go of this topic.

"Recently, this period of time to study Belfast, clearly feel that the gap from the edge of the sky to the front, Belfast's performance and the comparison of the Yun-8 aircraft I will not repeat, I am still the original point of view, it is rare to encounter this favorable situation, and it can even be said that it is the best time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, I suggest that the research and development of large aircraft should be started immediately, the sooner the better, the sooner the better. ”

In front of all the management of the whole factory, Cheng Yijian once again expressed his opinion.

After the fulcrum battle of the Republic was completed, the overseas military research institutes could be said to have eaten a full meal from the comparison of strategy and tactics to the application of technology and weapons, and obtained countless funds from their respective countries.

Not to mention the vast experience gained by the military of the republic as the one who initiated the campaign.

It has almost completely overturned most of the tactical thinking since the founding of the army of the Republic - this is the conclusion given by the Advanced Command Research Department of the National Defense University.

Leaving aside the sea and land parts, the fulcrum campaign had the greatest impact on the air force of the Republic, after all, air supremacy in modern conventional warfare is almost everything.

An important factor in giving play to air supremacy, in addition to advanced fighters, the tanker aircraft, which is known as the amplifier of combat power, has completely conquered the military of the republic, and long legs are better than short legs, and this has become an iron law of the air force of the republic.

Not long ago, the map in the north came to the Republic to sell fighter jets, and in the face of the temptation of the MiG-29, except for a part of the melon-eating masses who did not know the truth, the Republic of China insiders who could really speak did not lift their eyelids, but many people who participated in the negotiations complained in private, and the MiG's little short legs still wanted to export to us~, tsk~

Liang Tuhao's famous saying that the long legs are too strong due to a certain unknown atmosphere and no one uses them for reference, and the small short legs refer to the short range of the aircraft, but they were used by Ning Lei, and in terms of Ning Lei's influence in the Republic Air Force, a few blurts out are enough to cause a popular trend.

Although the Republic Air Force has empathized with it, the thousands of small short legs that it had been equipped with in its early years could not be thrown away, and the tanker aircraft as a combat power amplifier suddenly became the new focus of the Air Force.

The Y-8 tanker plane, which was urgently processed for the fulcrum campaign, can only serve two F14 fighters at most, and the scheduled refueling location cannot exceed one-half of the F14 range.

In the nineties, the military rigid needs of the republic began to shift from north to south, and the first target changed from an armored frenzy on the ground and a backfire storm in the air to an integrated aircraft carrier battle group on the ocean.

The military of the republic, which has fought two battles in this plane with F14 fighters, can better appreciate the ubiquitous threat in the ocean, and the F14 can patrol and cruise in the airspace 600 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation for two hours. This is a very terrible data, not to mention combat, the Republic of China's current large-scale equipment of the J-5 and J-6, even if they are hung with auxiliary fuel tanks, can fly in the sky for more than an hour, how can this battle be fought?

Calculated on paper, the current republic does not have any domestically produced active fighter jets capable of breaking through the air defense circle of aircraft carrier formations, which means that they can only be beaten and cannot fight back.

In order to maintain air supremacy in the strait under such an extremely unfavorable situation, the air force of the Republic of China devised the well-known air force combat tactics of small batches, multiple batches, and saturated take-offs throughout the 90s, in an attempt to maintain the air force's presence in the theater with a steady stream of aircraft arriving at the predetermined battlefield.

At this time, the air force of the republic, which was deeply aware of the performance of the F14 fighter, did not use the word "fighting for air supremacy" at all, but used the word "existence that seems to be relatively harmless" in a word, and in the internal discussion led by Ning Lei, relying on the existing air power, the republic was unable to fight for air supremacy in the strait battlefield at all, and could only treat itself as an away battle, using a steady stream of aircraft to interrupt the continuous destruction of its own landing ground by the flight wing on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The core of the Republican Air Force's predetermined tactics lies in a steady stream; once a front-line airfield is bombed, it can only rely on the group of fighters taking off from the inland airfields to maintain a shorter period of time over the strait and its strength is weaker, and whether or not it will be able to maintain its presence over the landing force at that time is two theories.

The successful application of the Y-8 refueling aircraft in the fulcrum campaign has opened a new door for the Republic Air Force, and the Y-8 refueling aircraft is a special affair that does not fundamentally help the current predicament of the Republic Air Force, but the large refueling aircraft is different.

A large tanker aircraft can support the refueling and replenishment of 8 F14-level fighters, and 24 can be supported by a large number of J-5 and J-6 in service in the Republic, which means that even if the ground airport is not considered, as long as 20 large tanker aircraft are enough, the Republic Air Force will put 500 fighters into the airspace of the strait, and the saturation capacity of supersonic fighters in the airspace of the strait will be maintained at 500.

What's more, large tankers are airfields that can run away, and the flexibility of survivability and tactical application is not comparable to fixed airfields that can only be beaten on the spot, if the republic does not have tankers, the main force of the Seventh Fleet's air defense direction can monitor the west, and if the republic is equipped with large tankers, it can be said that there is no safe place in the airspace of 360 degrees, and if the fleet wants to maintain the original security level, the fleet can only retreat, and the intensity of air power invested after the fleet retreats will naturally decline.

Therefore, under the leadership of Ning Lei, the Air Force of the Republic has defined the direction of improving its combat effectiveness as a two-legged walk, one is to develop or introduce the F14 level of third-generation fighters, and the other is to build large aircraft, whether it is a strategic transport aircraft or a large tanker, it can instantly amplify the combat effectiveness of the existing equipment of the Republic.

The fighter has little to do with the West Flight, the North Factory, the Southwest Factory and even the South Factory have the ability to develop the next generation of fighters, but the large aircraft line can only count on the West Flight this single seedling.

At the time when Belfast did not show up, although there were also voices of large aircraft projects in Xifei, due to the high difficulty of self-development, even if the Air Force had a demand for project approval, the call for Belfast changed everything.
