That night, Liang Yuan received a call from Qi Lianshan in Shengjing, and after listening to Qi Lianshan's mention of Grumman, Liang Yuan couldn't help but admire the treacherous and cunning John Sprewell.

Another person will probably be grateful to John Sprewell, this is simply anxious about the republic's urgency, thinking about the republic's thoughts, not even recommending his own plane, for the interests of the republic, to help promote the goods of his competitors, this is simply an international ** warrior, an old friend of the Chinese people.

It's a pity that this old thing met the young master and me.

"Lao Qi, tomorrow you and that old guy John, say that 6o is too expensive. Liang Yuan said directly.

Qi Lianshan was choked by Liang Yuan all of a sudden, if it were another person to say this kind of thing, Qi Lianshan would have refuted it a long time ago, and the A-7 attack plane looked at the flight number on paper, except for the fact that the flight degree was slower and could not be sounded, the rest was simply a perfect aircraft, and it had to have a range, it had to be multi-purpose and multi-purpose, and it had to be reliable and reliable.

What can we do with $60,000 dollars? The AIM-54 Immortal Bird missiles used in the three F-14 fighters are enough to replace two A-7 attack planes.

"Lao Qi, there are some things in the United States that you don't understand, so it feels a little incredible to hear this news. Liang Yuan looked through the earpiece, as if he saw Qi Lianshan's doubts.

In the 60s, the Chance Watt Company, which developed and produced the A-7 Corsair II attack aircraft, was acquired by the US medium-sized arms manufacturer Lynn Tamko, and the new company after the merger was renamed Lynn Turmko Watt. Abbreviated as 1TV.

In the late '70s and early '80s, the Reagan administration borrowed heavily against the Soviet Union. The Star Wars program was launched, the U.S. steel market was extremely prosperous at that time, and 1tv decided to enter the steel industry, and after a series of mergers and acquisitions, the steel company under the jurisdiction of 1 has become the second largest steel production enterprise in the United States.

In order to further expand the scale of production and reduce costs, 1tv decided to acquire the "Republic Iron and Steel Company", which has a debt of more than 700 million US dollars, in order to become the top spot in the steel industry. Global steel prices began to fall sharply.

Although the economies of scale generated by the expansion of production scale have saved 1TV nearly $200 million, Republic Steel's $700 million debt has brought a heavy burden to 1TV, and the fall in steel prices has not only wiped out the cost savings brought by 1TV's scale efficiency, but also the $700 million debt alone needs to pay as much as $164 million in interest every year.

Coupled with the poor integration between the old and new companies, the two sides debated over future strategy, and by 1986, 1TV was losing $1.8 billion in short-term government pension bonds. 1TV was desperate and had no choice but to apply for Chapter 11 protection under the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, just two years later, 1TV's acquisition of Republic Steel ended with one of the largest bankruptcy filings in the history of the United States.

As the parent company, 1TV, suffered a heavy blow in the steel industry, Chance Walter, who was in charge of the production and research of the A-7 attack aircraft, was also shaken in the wind and rain.

And the Grumman company, which aspires to dominate the deck of the US Navy's aircraft carriers, will naturally not give up this good opportunity to eat competitors, therefore. From the beginning of Group 1's heavy blow in the steel industry, Grumman has been lobbying the shareholders of the former Chance Watt to break away from Timco Watt and reorganize the Chance Waters Aircraft Company and merge it into Grumman's subsidiary.

In this way, the carrier-based aircraft used by the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, the A-6 attack plane, the A-7 attack plane, and the F-14 fighter plane, will all be unified under the Grumman Aerospace Gate. It is very good for the future consolidation of Grumman's superiority in carrier-based aircraft.

Unfortunately, however, Chance Walter has always had many misgivings about merging into Grumman, because after all, the A-6 attack plane produced by Grumman is a dual-type aircraft. However, there are also a considerable number of combat missions that overlap with the light attack planes he has built, and Chance Walter is afraid that he will be completely eaten by the other side after being merged into the Grumman, and he will no longer be able to be independent and independent.

If Liang Yuan had not intervened, Grumman and Chance Walter had been entangled until the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, and in the face of a global military spending reduction frenzy, the two sides finally chose to huddle together to keep warm, and Chance Walter merged into Grumman Aerospace in the early nineties.

It is a pity that Grumman's own family was also in turmoil at that time, not only was the Navy's next-generation A-12 attack aircraft cut, but the follow-up model of the F14, the NATV, was ruthlessly snuffed out by the US Congress, and even the production line of the F14 fighter was shut down.

Now that Grumman has just entered the Republican ** aircraft market, it is the time of high spirits, so it is a good bait to lure Chance Vought to become independent from the 1TV group by using his special relationship with the Republic.

The A-7 attack planes have been equipped with more than 15oo planes in the US Navy, Air Force, and National Guard, and the republic, which is also a huge country and is also facing the threat of the Soviet Union's huge armored swarm, how many A-7 attack planes should be equipped to meet its own needs?

Although the A-7 production line of the 1 TV has been closed for three or four years, the A-7 attack planes that have been retired from the US Navy and Air Force are in good condition to extend their life and rectify them, and a little tidying up can add 1O-15 years to the life of the A-7 attack planes; after all, the A-7 is only a high-subsonic aircraft, and the consumption of the life of the aircraft is much smaller than that of the F14, which does not fly out of M2 degrees.

You must know that the A-1O attack plane, which was only seven years later than the A-7 attack plane, is intended to be used by the US Air Force until 2O28.

If Grumman can push this forward, it can even increase the degree to which the US Navy will retire its A-7 attack planes, and although the US Navy has already made the decision to retire all A-7 attack planes from active service within three years, it will be able to dominate the deck of the United States aircraft carrier battle group one day earlier. For Grumman, it was a celebration after all.

If it weren't for a guy like Liang Yuan, who saw the entire exhibition of the big era, no one would have thought of it. John Sprewell's simple construction has so many goals hidden behind it.

This old thing is simply made of gutter oil, his mind is obscene, extremely slippery, and he will stupidly help him count the money if he is sold if he doesn't pay attention to it, Liang Yuan explained the ins and outs behind the matter to Qi Lianshan, and secretly slandered John Sprewell.

"Lao Qi, let me tell you, the unit price of the brand-new A-7 Corsair attack aircraft is about $240,000. Grumman charged us a quarter of the price for each retired A-7 attack plane, and if I guessed correctly, it should have paid 20,000 yuan to the US Navy, kept 20,000 yuan for his own family, and gave the remaining 20,000 yuan to the Chance Walter Company, which produced the A-7, for life extension. ”

"This old thing not only has a bulging pocket, but also makes a lot of people grateful to him, Lao Qi. You said that I wasn't slaughtering him and killing the people with a knife, isn't it a bad conscience? "Liang Yuan is obviously a resource controlled by the red-eyed family.

Qi Lianshan listened to Liang Yuan's words and took a few breaths of cold air, during the day, John Sprewell could come up with so many twists and turns in the blink of an eye, and the guy who designed a few birds with one stone can still be described as experienced and cunning, what should the young man in front of him use to describe the young man who has exposed everything in the blink of an eye. Is this a little slippery head to kill an old slippery head?

Qi Lianshan has always thought that his family is quite good, otherwise he would not have seized the opportunity to soar into the sky, and even his household registration was mixed up in Hong Kong, but in the face of Liang Yuan, Qi Lianshan always felt that the more he contacted, the more entangled he became. I really don't understand that this world can still have such a genius freak, Hong Kong Yuanjia ten years later. What should it look like under the leadership of Liang Yuan?

Qi Lianshan suddenly felt that the outlook and prediction he had made in private for the future should be such an unreliable thing.

"How much money does Yuan Dashao plan to spend on buying A-7 attack planes. Qi Lianshan, who was greatly stimulated, subconsciously turned out Hong Kong Yuanjia's customary name for Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan, who was slandering John Sprewell, didn't pay attention to the title of Qi Lianshan, thought for a while and said: "If you don't leave any oil and water, it's too inauthentic to be a person, Lao Qi will have a showdown with John Spreville tomorrow, and we only make three requests." ”

"One is that the A-7 attack aircraft must be motivated by the TF41-A-1 or -2 used in later models. ”

The TF41 series engine used in the A-7 attack plane is actually the American version of Spey Air's engine, and as early as 1966, the United States signed a contract worth $227 million with Allison and Rolls-Royce. The two companies jointly developed and produced the TF41 series of aviation motors derived from Spey Aviation Motors.

Allison is responsible for the development and production of the TF41 unique parts, and Rolls-Royce provides technical cooperation and parts for the common use with Spey Motors.

TF41 series motor was successfully developed in 1969, compared with the original Spey introduced by the Republic, TF41 adopts a new fan and low-pressure compressor, the original 5-stage fan is changed to a 3-stage fan and a 2-stage low-pressure compressor, and the fan diameter is increased from 826mm to 95OMM, so that the air flow and pressure ratio are increased.

The inlet guide vanes were also cancelled, the high-pressure compressor was changed from 12 to 11 stages, and the installation angles of the turbine guide blades and rotor blades were modified, resulting in a 17% increase in the thrust of the TF41 motor compared to the original Spey.

At that time, the first few batches of F14 fighters in service in the U.S. Navy were tortured to death by the two tf-3o-p-41o engines, and they planned to replace the F14 fighters with an afterburner thrust of 1O23ODAN TF41 series engine afterburner, after getting the engineering design on paper, with the successful development of the General Electric F11O-GE-4OO engine, the TF41 engine equipped with the F14 fighter disappeared.

For Liang Yuan, what A-7 attack aircraft and the like are like floating clouds, this TF41 series engine that can reach 6 thrust-to-weight ratio after changing to afterburner type is Liang Yuan's ultimate goal.

"The second problem is that the overhaul line of the A-7 attack aircraft must be completely transferred to us, and on the F-14 fighters we only drank water, not even soup.

Due to the limited time, Liang Yuan did not mention the more troublesome transfer of the production line, and in terms of the technical content of the A-7, the Republic will basically not encounter too big a problem in copying it, after all, this is only a pure second-generation fighter.

"Third, Lao Qi waved it at will, if it could become $5o per plane, it would be even more ideal. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

It's a celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival and the tenth of the gods, haha
