Chapter 752: Arming Europe with F22!
Mandalay, the capital of the Führer.
The back garden full of lilies, at the end of the green road, surrounded by pine and bamboo, is the courtyard house of Han and Tang architectural styles, which is the newly renovated and delivered Yang Weiping's living and office location.
Starting today, Yang Weiping, the first head of state of the Oriental Union Union, officially bid farewell to the numerous European-style buildings in the head of state's mansion and moved to live and work in this two-hall courtyard house that Yang Weiping personally named "Yang Family Compound".
Early in the morning, Yang Weiping, accompanied by Yang Xinru, the first lady of the Republic, gave three pillars of high incense to his parents and the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Yang family for three generations, and began the daily official handling of the day.
At dinner time, Margaret Thatcher became the first international friend who was qualified to enter the courtyard and have dinner with Yang Weiping and his wife.
In addition to the special status of the head of state, as well as the special treatment and busy official duties he enjoys, Yang Weiping's daily life is basically not much different from ordinary people.
This is completely different from what Margaret Thatcher saw in the luxurious castles and estates of the royal family and royal families in Europe. When she first stepped into this courtyard, Margaret Thatcher was even a little skeptical, how could such a simple but not simple courtyard be the home of the supreme head of state of the Eastern Union of China?!
From the various Han and Tang architectural styles revealed everywhere in this courtyard, it can be seen that as the head of state of the Eastern Union, Yang Weiping wants to promote and popularize the ancient Chinese Han and Tang Dynasty culture and traditions in the Eastern Union. It seems that they are also planning to promote the integration of Asia.
The four-course dinner menu of one soup once again opened Margaret Thatcher's eyes.
This situation is very different from the extravagance and waste of Chinese officials that Thatcher saw or heard during her visit to China.
After a relaxed and enjoyable dinner, Yang Weiping accompanied Margaret Thatcher in the flower garden in the front yard to arrange the flowers and plants, and talked about the current resistance to the EFA program.
As Yang Weiping expected, including the Federal Republic of Germany. The governments of Italy and Spain have questioned the real purpose of involving OUCC in the EFA program.
Europe, the Europe of Europeans, this deep-seated notion. It is exactly the same as Yang Weiping's thinking that Asia is Asian's Asia.
Throughout the centuries of modern history, Europeans have continued to extend their hands to Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Australia. No other country has ever reached into Europe.
Let Yang Weiping participate in the EFA program in his personal name, perhaps the four former veteran colonialists, Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain, will not think too much. However, if the Eastern Union is involved in the research and development project of Europe's advanced fighter in the name of the new generation of Asian powers, it is basically equivalent to completely opening Europe's airspace to the Eastern Union.
Regardless of whether or not the Eastern Union had any intention of encroaching on Europe, the military and political leaders of Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain would certainly resist it at the first time.
In the face of Margaret Thatcher's hesitation on this issue, Yang Weiping certainly did not rush to participate in the EFA program.
"Madam, in fact, I think that even if there is no external factor involved, with the rich experience and technical reserves accumulated by Europe in the development of world aviation science and technology. In time, the EFA program will certainly be able to develop a world-class advanced multirole fighter. Yang Weiping clearly wanted to keep himself out of the matter, and said irresponsibly:
"As we all know, the Americans have always been at the forefront of the world in the field of advanced fighter research and development. Of course, in the past two years, we have also been actively catching up, striving to further narrow the gap with the United States.
Since 1981, the U.S. Air Force has been involved in two preliminary research projects: Advanced Tactical Warfare (ATF) and Concept Development Survey (RFI). In this regard, we have also been engaged in OUCC. At the moment, we are basically on the same starting line as the Americans. At the end of last year, the ATF program completed the conceptual exploration stage, and entered the verification and validation stage of the actual scheme design at the beginning of this year.
However, the US Congress and the top level of the Department of Defense have doubts about the cost estimates of the ATF program. Their research in this area was temporarily halted. However, this has not happened in OUCC. Because from the moment the ATF project was established, I have been personally grasping it.
For the ATF program, I myself made it clear that the fourth-generation advanced fighter must have such technical characteristics as supersonic cruise, stealth, agility and short / vertical take-off and landing. This requires the fourth-generation advanced fighter not only to be different from the traditional fighter in terms of aerodynamic shape and propulsion system, but also to improve the structure and function of the flight control system.
In my philosophy, the fourth-generation advanced fighter must be an information-based weapon platform. An important feature of the information-based weapon platform is that the weapons platforms are horizontally networked with each other and joined into the information network system to realize the sharing of information resources, so as to maximize the combat effectiveness of the weapon platforms.
Therefore. The demand for fourth-generation advanced fighter jets is reflected in two aspects. One is the advanced aerodynamic performance and propulsion system, and the other is the new structure and new features of the integrated information-based avionics and aircraft management computer system. For these two aspects. We have achieved a little bit of experience and results for the time being. ”
After such a fool by Scientist Yang, Mrs. Thatcher only knew a little about it. It can also be guessed that the fourth-generation advanced fighter being developed by OUCC must be very powerful, and it has also integrated the current top network information technology of OUC.
Advanced aerodynamics and propulsion systems, Margaret Thatcher still knew a little, and she also knew that the EFA program had been engaged in research in this area. However, the new structure and new features of the integrated information-based avionics and aircraft management computer system are the first time that Margaret Thatcher, as the British Prime Minister, has heard of them.
"Yang, I can understand it this way. Mrs. Thatcher put down the flowers and plants in her hand and asked seriously: "The flight control computer system, whether for civilian or military use, will be an important criterion for measuring whether the comprehensive performance of the aircraft is advanced?"
"Hehe, talking to smart people is worry-free. Yang Weiping generously gave Mrs. Thatcher a thumbs up, smiled and nodded, and said: "The next generation of fighters has put forward higher requirements for the control system because of its more complex tasks.
The flight control computer system is the key processing equipment in the control system, which has strict requirements for performance requirements such as bandwidth, processing power and reliability. The flight control computer system is an embedded computer system, and with the rapid development of microelectronics technology and software technology in the world today, it will certainly have a profound impact on the flight control computer system. ”
After speaking, Yang Weiping paused for a moment, and after Margaret Thatcher digested this amount of information, he continued: "Take the YF22 we are currently developing as an example, its avionics system has been updated and developed on the basis of conforming to the definition of gemological structure. The system is divided into three functional areas: the integrated detection area, the core processing area and the aircraft management area.
The integrated detection area is responsible for managing the sensor network system, publishing the number of sensors on board to the core network of the system, the core processing area is responsible for the number and signal processing tasks, and the aircraft management area is responsible for the flight control of the aircraft and the thrust control of the engine......"
In the face of the Iron Lady who was like a curious baby, Yang Weiping patiently explained in relative detail some of the professional knowledge applied by the Oriental Union in the research of advanced fighter flight control and computer systems.
Yang Weiping didn't know if Margaret Thatcher really understood. However, the more and more solemn expression on the face of the Iron Lady still made Yang Weiping feel that this popular science did not seem to be in vain.
If OUCC wants to understand the development process of the Guòefa project and put its hand into Europe little by little, it will definitely not be possible to impress those old European gentlemen without taking out some real materials.
If you just throw out the EF2000 Rafale that was born in history, although it may also shock the European aviation experts in the EFA program development project team, it is not enough to make the government behind them decide to risk the involvement of OUCC in European affairs.
In order to achieve this goal, Yang Weiping finally made a decision to throw out one of the two fourth-generation advanced fighters successfully developed by US imperialism, the YF22 and YF23, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons.
After comparing the comprehensive performance and practicability of YF22 and YF23 many times, Yang Weiping decided to come up with the design concept and scheme of YF22, that is, the famous F22 Raptor of the United States in the future, and develop the F22 Raptor together with the four European countries of Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain.
The strategic limit of the Eastern Union Union does not have to be guaranteed by advanced fourth-generation fighters such as the F22. The YF23, which is equipped with two WS15-TG-100 fourth-generation military high-thrust and high-thrust turbofan engines with comprehensive performance that is only stronger than the F119 turbofan engine, is enough to protect the airspace and territorial waters of the Eastern Union from being threatened by any country.
Yang Weiping can fully imagine how green the face of the US imperialists will be when Europe is armed with F22 and when the US imperialists notice it!
With the advanced nature of the F22 Raptor, Yang Weiping does not believe that Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain can calm down and not be fooled.
This is a conspiracy carefully conceived by Yang Weiping!
Yang conspiracy is a conspiracy placed in the sun. It can make people know it's a conspiracy, but they have to get in. (To be continued)
