Then the two sides began to talk about the political, diplomatic and military aspects, which were also prerequisites for the success of this arms sales deal. With it as a foundation www.biquge.info, the next negotiations can proceed smoothly. In terms of politics, let's not talk about it, the main thing is mutual trust, and there are some policy things and agreements. In terms of diplomacy, this is, of course, a joint response to the Soviet Union, this is an eternal topic, as well as cooperation in some international affairs, some exchange of interests, and so on.

Next is the military, which is also a very important content. For example, this Major General Ward proposed that Jiang Chen and his team could be provided with a batch of retired 16 fighters from the old US Air Force for free, and help Jiang Chen and them train an aviation wing. Then we will set up an air assault force with the participation of our and Lao and American pilots, and set up a headquarters for this unit, which will be jointly commanded by the two countries. And this force will be deployed in the northwest to deal with threats and surprises from the north. And once in wartime, you can hit the soft belly of the woolly bear through the northwest direction, and then tear a hole. Garrison, this is definitely impossible, this is the bottom line, whether it is Jiang Chen, they or the country will not agree. For example, the United States wants to lease several of our airfields in the north as their air bases, deploy fighters and reconnaissance aircraft, and guard radars. In peacetime, it is possible to conduct reconnaissance and alert on the targets of the Su-*, and in wartime it can help our country defend itself against attacks from the north. This is also impossible, so Jiang Chen and their opposition were obtained.

Seeing that Jiang Chen did not agree to the two plans, Colonel Ward proposed a new plan, that is, to allow their reconnaissance plane to land for refueling and borrow airspace when necessary. And in wartime, part of the airport was opened for the old American aircraft to be stationed. These two articles are not so direct or much softer. The first is the first one, which allows their reconnaissance aircraft to land, refuel, and borrow airspace when necessary, which is also mentioned in the International Flight Convention. If there is an emergency situation when the aircraft of another country arrives in the airspace of one side and needs to make a forced landing, then one side needs to help the plane land and carry out the necessary maintenance and rescue, and the relevant supplies have been provided. It's just that this involves two aspects: military aircraft and civilian aircraft, which require different handling and response methods. It may sound a little inconceivable, but can military planes of other countries fly in the territorial waters of one side? Actually, this is possible, for example, in a certain year, our planes went to the country of Tuji to participate in exercises and some military transport planes went to other countries to carry out missions, such as evacuating overseas Chinese, and so on. All of this needs to pass through the airspace of other countries, and there is no problem in communicating and coordinating with these countries.

Of course, the same is true for landings, which are often among friendly countries, as well as between Laos, the United States and European countries. So this clause is not excessive, and it is very common in the Western world. It's just that such a clause is definitely not something that Jiang Chen and the others can decide, and they still need to be recorded and reported to the country. During the war, part of the airport was opened for American planes to station. This is okay, as long as the relevant details are determined in advance, you must know that there seems to be no war around us in the future, so what if it is signed as a clause. Besides, after the honeymoon period is over, even if we let Lao Mei's plane land, they won't dare to land. You must know that in the later generations, Lao Mei has kept our technology secret to the extreme, and parked the fighter directly in our country, even if we are willing, Lao Mei will not agree. However, Jiang Chen still recorded it and sent it to China, but at the same time as sending it, the delegation also had to come up with its own opinions and suggestions. Of course, there must be Jiang Chen among them, and Jiang Chen will definitely report his views and analysis.

After that, the two sides also conducted more detailed negotiations around these fighters, of course, the main thing was the old US plan, Jiang Chen and they judged. Some of the over-the-top proposals were rejected outright, while some of the acceptable ones were recorded and reported to the country, or then discussed and studied. This includes the sharing of information resources between these fighters, as well as the terms of the agreement on operational command coordination. There was also the previous air joint combat force that was vetoed by Jiang Chen, and Colonel Ward proposed a new plan. That is to let Jiang Chen and his newly formed fighter unit participate in the Asian joint assault force initiated by the United States, and the United States allies in Asia will form a joint assault force with us and the United States. In peacetime, they organize for coordinated training, and in wartime, they fight together. And this force will form a joint command, composed of each side sending its own command staff. Theoretically, there are people from the United States as commanders, and people from other participating countries as deputy commanders. Although this command has the authority to direct the joint force in peacetime training, it must be authorized by the consent of all parties to carry out its tasks.

This plan is much softer, relatively acceptable, at least Jiang Chen thinks so. It is feasible to form a joint combat force with these countries and then train together in peacetime, and this is what the Air Force should need at the moment. You must know that during this period, our air force was seriously lagging behind the world powers not only in terms of hardware, but also in terms of fighters and related facilities. Moreover, in terms of software, especially in the training and operational thinking of the air force, as well as the related composition system and technical actions, it is also seriously lagging behind the air force of the world powers. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to enable our Air Force to go out and learn advanced air force training methods and operational ideas, it will be conducive to the growth of our Air Force. Moreover, at that time, the fighters of the Air Force were also imported and purchased, so there was no technical secrecy. It's just that this matter is very big, and Deputy Director Zhao and Deputy Director Song are also cautious about it, and it can also be seen that there is an attitude in China towards this matter. Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to write a more detailed report to explain his views and strive for the approval of this matter.

There were so many such things that the discussion between the two sides was not over until the afternoon. In the end, both sides were a little unbearable, we were okay, we could endure hardships, but the old United States couldn't do it, and asked for an adjournment and continued tomorrow. And the reason why Jiang Chen and the others were a little unbearable was because the aspects involved this time were too wide. They need to collate and study and discuss it before submitting it along with their own report. Negotiations can proceed only after a domestic decision has been obtained. There is no way, although they are said to be delegations, they are only representatives, and specific decisions still have to be made by domestic opinions. (To be continued.) )
