In the far east, China, which gave birth to the splendid civilization of China, was also attracted by this dazzling "pearl." Although the Soviets did not know what to do with the future, they still felt that this was a golden opportunity

"American technology, completely American technology, seriously, I've never seen such a powerful thing in my life, do you know how advanced the American planes are?"

In a certain test flight base deep in the northwest desert, the chief designer of the Northeast Aviation Institute, who had just returned from an inspection in the United States, looked at the Jian-8II. fighter plane that had risen into the sky, his face was full of pride, and he kept talking to the side about what he had seen and heard in the United States.

At this moment, the chief designer of the aircraft suddenly stopped talking for a while, and the people who were hearing it suddenly felt as if something was missing from their bodies, and they looked extremely uncomfortable, so they hurriedly asked:

"Old Tang, tell me quickly, what is an advanced method?"

The chief designer named Lao Tang smiled proudly, and said mysteriously: "I want to know how advanced it is? Waiting for the J-8II of our Northeast Institute to come back from the United States, you will know!"

Even if they didn't want to say it, they didn't boast so blatantly, so some unconvinced aviation technicians shouted:

"Old Tang, it's not as unkind as you"

"That's right, the superiors selected your J-8II for modification, but you have invested a lot of money, why do you still have to hide it?"

"Several of our institutes have slowed down the development progress because of this, so as to allocate resources to protect your J-8II., why can't your old soup be a little high?"

In the face of the "group attack" colleagues, Lao Tang smiled more proudly, especially when he heard that the superior selected the J-8II to go to the United States to participate in the modification program, it was even more tickling to him, you must know that as the main development personnel of the J-8II., there is nothing more proud than this, this year can go abroad is the best of the best, the best of the best, the best of the best, the international students sent are all excellent in character and learning, and the goods exported abroad are also among the best goods.

As for the fighter, it is naturally the top trump card product in China, and this directly proves the excellent performance and first-class quality of the J-8II, otherwise it would be impossible for the superior to select the J-8II as a modified prototype in cooperation with the United States, it can be said that this is the affirmation of the superior for the J-8II, and it is an honor, an honor that is higher than all the awards and commendations!

Because of this, listening to the complaints of the people next to him with faint jealousy, he didn't feel angry, but was faintly intoxicated, as if the jealousy and complaining were like bursts of beautiful symphony, which made his whole person a little fluttering, but just when he was intoxicated by the graceful sound, a very discordant note pierced his eardrums, like a steel knife cutting his nerves to pain:

"No, Tang Zhonglin, you are blowing the J-8II so aggressively today, but how did I hear that the aircraft model that was originally circled to cooperate with the United States was the J-9 of Wanshan Airlines, not the J-8II of yours."

"Ren Wencong, I know what you want to say!"

didn't wait for the middle-aged designer named Ren Wencong to finish speaking, Tang Zhonglin's eyes lit up, and he interrupted Ren Wencong's words stiffly, and the wrinkles engraved on his round face were even more popping, no way, Ren Wencong's words really poked his lungs, that's right, his J-8II is indeed the best and most perfect one among the Chinese fighters;

But this best and most perfect has to add a prefix, that is, in addition to the J-9 of Wanshan Aviation, those beautiful words can be the turn of J-8II., smooth fuselage structure, dexterous duck ~~ wing layout, wide triangle ~~ wing surface, impressive semi-buried DSI air intake, just from the appearance, you know that this powerful and domineering fighter has excellent combat performance;

And in fact, it is true, duck ~ ~ wing combined with tailless triangle ~ wing, leading this new fighter has unparalleled maneuverability, from the French digital fly-by-wire control system, more rich in the unparalleled maneuverability of the new aircraft, so that the originally difficult to control the duck ~ ~ wing, under the control of the fly-by-wire control system, become docile, and dexterous, many unimaginable maneuvers, only need the pilot to gently pull the joystick, can be easily achieved;

As for the carrying of weapons systems, thanks to the timely deployment of multi-functional airborne fire control radars, the new fighters have extremely strong air and ground detection capabilities, and with the successive use of relevant ammunition supporting the new aircraft, the new fighters have reached a new height in medium-range air-to-air, close-range combat, and ground-to-sea precision strikes.

All in all, this new aircraft is an air all-rounder, if it were not for the engine thrust is too small, the semi-buried DSI air inlet has not yet reached maturity in some technical links, which will affect the bomb load and maximum speed of the aircraft, or it will definitely be called a world-class fighter, Rao is so, for the navy, the ability and level of this new aircraft are still beyond their expectations,

On the day of the first flight at the beginning of that year, the leaders of the navy watched the beautiful posture of the new aircraft take off into the air, changing the very subversive flight maneuvers in the air, and the naval generals who came to observe were all very excited, because since then, the naval aviation has a trump card warhawk that is enough to defend the sea frontier, so after the first flight, the naval command immediately reported to the top management, and the new aircraft was officially named Jian-9!

When the Air Force heard the news, it also sent people to Wanshan Aviation to observe the test flight situation, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look can no longer erase the dexterous posture of the J-9 from your mind, and more importantly, the upgrade potential of the J-9, Wanshan Aviation will be upgraded and transformed as an important indicator into the new aircraft at the beginning of the design of the J-9;

Because of this, there is a considerable amount of redundant space for upgrading in the fuselage of the J-9, as long as the conditions are mature and the technology is perfect, the J-9 can be continuously upgraded, although the Air Force is not optimistic about the high-altitude and high-speed capabilities of the J-9, but it appreciates the strong upgrade potential of this aircraft, therefore, the leadership of the Air Force changed the attitude towards the J-9 a few years ago, and actively invested in the second phase of the J-9 development plan, hoping to create a J-9 suitable for the Air Force in the future

After being recognized by the navy, air force and high-level management, the J-9 has become China's well-deserved best fighter, although it is still in the test flight, although there is still a long distance from equipping the troops, but whether it is the navy, air force or air force, this new aircraft will be regarded as the hope of China's blue sky in the future.

Therefore, when the American Grumman company proposed to China the "Peace Pearl" plan for joint modification, the first thing that came to mind of the military and high-level leaders was not the slender J-8II., but the more beautiful and potential J-9.

But I didn't expect that when listening to the opinions of the developer, I was fiercely opposed by Lu Jiadong, the core leader of the J-9 project, and even did not hesitate to take the extreme way of sit-in in the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to express opposition, and finally, at Lu Jiadong's insistence, the Equipment Department of the General Staff and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense had to adopt Lu Jiadong's opinions, so the cooperation model was replaced with J-8II.

However, for this reason, Lu Jiadong and his leadership of the J-9 project paid a very huge price, although his reasons are very good, but this kind of blatant disobedience to the order, but the military ~ ~ committee and high-level leaders do not like it very much, as the so-called all actions obey the command, even if your reasons are sufficient, you must obey the order, from the war years over the military ~ ~ committee and senior leaders have always taken this as a criterion for order and prohibition, so although Lu Jiadong's opinion has been adopted, but the relevant problems and responsibilities still have to be dealt with;

As a result, Lu Jiadong's administrative level was demoted from the main hall to the deputy department, and the position was also adjusted from the general manager of the Wanshan Military Production Complex to the executive deputy general manager, and as for the general manager, Wang Chuanchen, the general manager of Hanli Company, concurrently served as Wang Chuanchen, but Wang Chuanchen couldn't even be busy with the big stall of Hanli Company, and couldn't manage Wanshan's affairs at all, so the daily management was still in charge of Lu Jiadong, the executive deputy general manager;

As for the J-9 project, because of Lu Jiadong's actions at any cost, it was cut in funding, especially the Air Force, which participated in the second phase of development, once again withdrew from the project and turned to support the J-8II in cooperation with the United States, which made the second phase of the J-9 development plan suddenly come to a standstill

But even so, Tang Zhonglin was still indignant in his heart, because no matter what, there was still a big mountain on his J-8II's head, even if it was at a low point, but it still steadily pressed him out of breath, and because of this, his J-8II became a substitute and became a spare tire, so that the most perfect and the best were preceded by an eye-catching prefix.

Fortunately, all this is about to pass, because he went to the United States, learned about the modification plan, felt the American science and technology, saw the wealth of the United States, and experienced the strength of the United States, so he smiled coldly at Ren Wencong:

"Isn't it that our J-8II is not as good as Wanshan's J-9, maybe it was like this before, but after a few years, it should be a year or two later, J-8II will be completely reborn, by then, not to mention J-9, even if it is the Soviet Union's cutting-edge Su-27, it is nothing, 'Peace Pearl' Listen to the name given by the Americans, it is so meaningful, pearl, J-8II. is a beautiful pearl, and J-9, hum will inevitably become a speck of dust that falls into the mortal world" (to be continued.) )
