The service life of an ordinary fighter is usually in a few years, or even more than ten years; the life of large military transport aircraft and civil airliners will be higher, whether it is a fighter or a large aircraft, the whole life cycle requires meticulous professional maintenance and a large number of parts, if possible, it will also be implemented in the medium term of comprehensive transformation and technical extension, so that the aircraft used has been maintained in good technical condition!

However, in this series of complex processes, it is not a few ordinary workers with a vice, carrying a wrench to do things casually, but the need for strong professional and technical accumulation, excellent R & D and production team and super aviation technical strength to support, of course, the most important thing, but also need a large amount of funds from users, or far beyond the imagination of the political ~~~ governance transaction

It is precisely because of this that there is an unwritten theory in the field of international aviation that the funds for maintaining and upgrading a life-long aircraft are at least three times more than the purchase of this aircraft.

It's like the relationship between poison~~owl and drug addicts~~~ often smoke~~~ drug personnel are just greedy for temporary pleasure, or indulge in illusory pleasure, and poison~~ owls just have a kind smile, and treat bags of deadly medicines as delicious desserts, and send them to the drug addicts again and again~~~ with a kind smile;

When the ~~~ drug smoker realized that his behavior was somewhat inappropriate and wanted to withdraw from it, he suddenly found that the toxin had spread in his body, and every nerve was controlled by the terrible toxin.

At this time, the poison~~ owl is no longer the previous kindness, he ripped off the mask of hypocrisy, revealing a hideous and evil face, the toxin has controlled the body he wants to control, no matter how the body resists, how to struggle, in the end he has to give up face, give up his self-esteem to seek the help of the poison ~~ owl, at this moment the poison ~~ owl is a vampire who eats people and does not spit out bones, and the family that does not eat and wipe the poison ~~~ will not give up

The relationship between buyers and sellers in the aviation field is essentially no different from the relationship between drug ~~ owl and drug addict ~~~ drug personnel, and even more decisive than this evil relationship, because once an aircraft is purchased and equipped, whether it is the use habits, training methods or logistics support, it is completely branded as the selling country.

Because this means that the equipment system that has been built for many years will be overturned, whether it is personnel training, pilot training or maintenance support, all from scratch, the cost of which will be a staggering astronomical amount, unless there is a huge amount of financial assistance, the average country can not afford such a high price in any case

James Johnson, as the chief commercial officer of McDonnell Douglas, the world's top aircraft manufacturer, naturally knows all kinds of little-known shady and hidden ~~rules~~ behind the sale of aircraft, but he limits his eyes to the field of civil airliners, thinking that it is only to eliminate potential competitors and may pose a threat to the field of civilian wide-body airliners in the United States;

Therefore, he will feel that there is no need, he has seen the whole machine and related research and development materials, very clear that this is only equivalent to the United States in the fifties technology of the large aircraft, in addition to marking China's ability to build a take-off weight of more than 100 tons of large aircraft, there is no practical significance, because there is no advanced production technology and manufacturing technology, large load-bearing forgings can only be spliced, can not manufacture large skin structure, can only be connected with small pieces of skin.

Because of this, James Johnson, who was well versed in aircraft technology, concluded at that time that according to China's technical level, even if it was another ten or twenty years, it might only hover at this level, and it would not be able to pose a threat to the US civil aviation manufacturing industry at all.

However, what Johnson never expected was that the one on the Texas farm wanted to use China's aviation industry to play an unimaginable big chess game, and penetrating China's large aircraft manufacturing field was just a wedge, using this as a base point to instill the advanced aviation equipment that the United States is most proud of;

Imagine when the flexible and changeable F-16 flies across the sky, when the domineering F-14 roars through the sky, when the F-15 with blue waves and blue skies without me, and when the F-111 with excellent performance splits the clouds and fog, we can imagine what kind of envy and eagerness Chinese what is going on.

The Chinese will not hesitate to abandon the time-consuming and huge research and development work and turn to the large-scale purchase of American-made fighters; even if there is not a single American in the Chinese Air Force, the reins around the neck of the Chinese Air Force will fall into the hands of the United States, and as long as the United States needs it, the entire Chinese Air Force will be shut down, the entire Chinese sky will be torn apart, and the Chinese government will have to bow its head and submit to the arrangement with the United States

"I believe that those Chinese will be like dogs, choosing the bones we threw away!"

At this moment, Colonel Lovett's words sounded again in the suite, his expression was still so indifferent, the corners of his mouth were curled as usual with a contemptuous smile, he shook the red wine glass in his hand, and walked to the window again:

"After all, our bones are big and easy to obtain, which is much more delicious and easier than the difficult bones that have been developed through time and effort, just like China's Yun-10 plane, why not the bones we hand out are delicious? Of course, you are right.

Yun Shi contains complex political ~~~ political factors within China, so we must also make good use of this, to know that in the research and development of any kind of aviation equipment in China, it involves unimaginable political ~~~ political factors, we can take advantage of the opportunity created by Yun Shi, continue to conquer the city!"

As he spoke, Lovett picked up the wine glass and drank all the red wine in the glass, and there was a drunken tide on his white skin~~~ red, which was the excitement of the winner, only to see him lift the curtain again, look at the small night market that was closing the stall at the corner of the street, smiled with satisfaction, his indifferent eyes flashed with irrepressible greed, and continued with a cruel smile:

"As I said before, China is changing rapidly in the business field, which is very much in the interests of the United States, you must know what a huge treasure is a market with a population of more than a billion people, if we can pinch China in our hands like Japan and South Korea, then we not only have a vanguard against the Soviet Union, but also have a vast raw material production area and a huge dumping market, which is the core existence for us, and because of this, the farm man very much hopes that China's reform and opening up can be successful, because the more successful they are, the bigger our future dumping market will be”

"Yes!" Listening to Colonel Lovett's words, Johnson nodded in agreement, then got up, walked to Lovett's side, and said seriously:

"Maybe I was a little radical before, but no matter what, the purpose is the same, red ~~~ color China must become a vassal of the United States, only in this way, the United States will be stronger, and China will become better, I have always believed in this!"

"Me too!"

Lovett responded with a smile, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, just like two gods standing on the clouds, after planning the rules and regulations of the human world under their feet, they laughed with satisfaction at the work created by their own hands, indescribably happy and arrogant, but at this moment,

Lovett's adjutant knocked on the door with a solemn expression, hurriedly came to Lovett's side, and just said two words on his ear, Lovett, who was originally laughing arrogantly, suddenly looked stunned, and the appearance of laughing wildly suddenly froze on his face, like an ugly mask, indescribably weird and ugly

"What's the matter, Mr. Colonel!" Johnson hastily asked, noticing something unusual, but Lovett looked depressed, like a water dog in a stinking ditch, slumped on the sofa with a pop, and replied weakly:

"China's top management has just made a decision to retain the Yun-10 R&D team and transfer the relevant personnel and equipment to an aircraft repair plant in central China!"

"Ah~~"

Johnson screamed in astonishment and sat down with a thud

At the same time, in a senior suite of Jingxi Hotel, the old chief sat on the sofa, staring at the gradually silent night sky, the old man's expression was a little lonely, and even more vain, as if at this moment, the black night was a natural curtain, and the scenes of the past were clearly presented on it, falling on the weather-beaten eyes, stimulating the nerves that had been numb in the mind;

So that time seems to go backwards, bringing him back to more than ten years ago, at the scene of the mobilization meeting of the Yun Shi project, he stood alone on the towering podium, accepting countless resentful eyes and fierce curses, yes, Yun Shi used the most shameful batch of his life ~~~ to complete the most ceremonial project mobilization, so he can not forget, let alone let go, until now when he remembers the moment of shame, he can't help but clench his fists., burning with anger

However, in the next moment, the old chief's fist slowly loosened, his face full of anger slowly flattened, and his fierce eyes gradually narrowed, because his mind kept echoing the words of the old man who was the same age as himself half an hour ago, but more resolute and awe-inspiring:

"We are all sons of the Chinese people, we should have a tolerant heart, we have made a lot of mistakes over the decades, so for the sake of the country and the people, we can no longer make mistakes, let it go, Lao Li, the comrades-in-arms who sacrificed in the past are looking at you, don't forget their instructions and your original intention: China for you to fight can be stronger!"

"For the sake of China, which you are fighting for, can be stronger!"

The old chief muttered and repeated, and I don't know how long it took, the slightly narrowed eyes were raised again, and the cloudy eyes regained their former kindness, and then turned his head, and asked in a deep voice:

"Is Xiao Jiang still outside?"

"Commander Jiang has been waiting for your summons!"

"It's too late, it's not troublesome!" the old chief waved his hand, and then said firmly: "You go and tell him, let them take care of the navy more, if you want to do it, you must do it well, otherwise one day he will come underground to see me, I will never spare him!"

"Yes!"

As the confidential secretary turned to leave, the old chief, who had made this difficult choice, seemed to be really tired, and his eyes were lowered again, as if he was resting, as if he was reminiscing, but more like looking forward to a better future (to be continued). )
