The Anglo-Argentine War was the only war that Britain fought without the support of its allies since the end of World War II. Although its scale is not a national war, the British army has fought 13,000 kilometers over a long distance, which can also be called a classic case of modern war history and modern military tutorials.

As early as the beginning of Yang Weiping's business in Hong Kong, he had the idea of taking advantage of this war to win the initiative in the negotiations between China and Britain on the Hong Kong issue.

For this reason, during his tenure as director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Yang Weiping took advantage of his privileges to lead and plan many military exchanges and cooperation between China and Argentina, and made it convenient to export weapons and equipment such as the C802 Exocet anti-ship missile and the Qiang-5 B2 multi-purpose light carrier-based aircraft to Argentina.

According to the agreement signed between the governments of Huaxia and Argentina, before the end of 1982, Huaxia delivered a total of 240 C802 Exocet anti-ship missiles, 50 Qiang-5 B2 carrier-based aircraft, 80 FC-1 Thunder fighter-bombers, and two KJ1980 airborne early warning aircraft (imitating the Hawkeye) and other equipment to the Argentine side according to the contract.

It is also because of this military cooperation agreement signed between China and Argentina that Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Peru, and other countries have set off an arms race to import weapons and equipment made in China.

Chinese-made weapons are of high quality and low price, and they are cost-effective. The United States and the Soviet Union, the world's largest arms exporters, can only stare dryly.

Yang Weiping knew that after the world entered the 80s, wars broke out frequently. The international arms trade market is unprecedentedly hot. Therefore, he had already cooperated with the Field family to open a weapons manufacturing and trading company in Europe.

This time, taking advantage of the "Xinyun 10 Incident", Yang Weiping successfully changed the name of Xinyun 10 to Y20 and merged it into Tiangong Group, which not only enabled Tiangong Group to be allowed to enter the Chinese military industry, but also obtained the right to engage in self-operated trade in the import and export of weapons and equipment in China.

The reason why the No. 1 leader gave Yang Weiping this green light was on the one hand because he wanted to make up for Yang Weiping, and on the other hand, it was also because Tiangong Group itself had a large weapons manufacturing plant in Europe. Even if Huaxia does not allow Yang Weiping to engage in the international arms trade, he still has a way to do it. It is better to simply send a favor to the water, and by the way, it can also increase the export share of Chinese weapons.

Yang Weiping knows very well that once the Anglo-Argentine Falcet war breaks out, a large number of C802 Exocet anti-ship missiles equipped by the Argentine army will surely become the nemesis of the British expeditionary fleet. Of course, he couldn't be stupid enough to let the aircraft carrier Baron John Young touch this big bad head.

Besides. If this battle can make Britain suffer heavy losses. At that time, it will be more convenient for him Sir Yang to play the "savior" in the United Kingdom.

Considering that there were a large number of retired British Navy officers and men serving in the Rock Fleet, he had to make arrangements as soon as possible to keep the Rock Fleet out of the Falklands, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the shrewd Iron Lady.

This time, Yang Weiping officially took over the chairmanship of Tiangong International Group. Of course, Qiu Fang had the idea of returning the Rock Security Company to him as well. It was when he was talking to her about the current state of the Rock Fleet. Qiu Fang is completely obedient. Don't ask a superfluous word.

Although Yang Weiping usually doesn't care much about the private armed force in his hands that is enough to be feared by the governments of all countries in the world, he actually attaches great importance to the rock in his heart. No less than heavenly workmanship.

The huge amount of money invested in Rock over the years has largely been flattened by the huge returns made in the Burmese civil war alone.

You must know that as long as Yang Weiping is willing, he can establish a private kingdom in northern Myanmar at any time!

The resumption of armistice negotiations between North and South Myanmar and the imminent period of peace and development in Myanmar are also one of the important reasons why Yang Weiping dared to make up his mind to openly argue with Vice Premier Zhao.

It's just that Yang Weiping can't leave everything in the country behind now, and settle down to personally inspect the tremendous achievements of Myanmar's strategic development so far. Because, he must let the newly established Tiangong Aviation Industrial Company lay the most solid foundation before he can slowly let go.

In the research and development of Xinyun Ten, Yang Weiping basically did not interfere much except for some suggestions before. Now that Tiangong Group has taken over Xinyun Shi, of course, it is impossible for him to let Ma Fengshan and others explore some unnecessary detours on their own, which is a waste of time and money.

At the beginning, the Huhai Aircraft Factory was relocated to Chang'an as a whole, and after the merger with the Chang'an Aircraft Factory, Yang Weiping let the experts of the original Yun-10 project team give full play to their independent capabilities in line with the idea of cultivating domestic aviation professionals. He pondered that there is a Yun-10 basis, and also provided the United States original C5 and C130 two large military transport aircraft, as well as the Airbus A320 civil airliner as a reference, Ma Fengshan and others are fully capable of developing a more advanced new large aircraft platform.

Yang Weiping knew that he couldn't be in a hurry to build a big plane, because he didn't put any pressure on the Xinyun 10 project in terms of time. But now it doesn't work, the state no longer pulls out any research funds, and the required funds and all kinds of resources are borne by Tiangong Group, that is, he Yang Weiping privately.

With the assistance of Ma Fengshan, Wang Xin, and other veteran experts, he spent three days drawing out the drawings of the three views, aerodynamic layout, and related design parameters of the C-17 strategic transport aircraft, which the US imperialists had not yet had time to start developing.

The C-17 Global Overlord, the U.S. imperialists did not start the development plan until 1982, and the basic design was completed in 1984, and the full-scale model of the cargo compartment and cockpit was well received by the U.S. Air Force.

Now, Yang Weiping has decided to seize the opportunity of US imperialism and turn the global overlord of American imperialism into the global overlord of China. When Tiangong Aviation Industry Co., Ltd. releases the final design drawings and models of the Huaxia version of the C-17 Global Overlord, it will definitely make McDonnell Douglas, which undertook the research and development task of C17, fall to the ground.

The Huaxia version of the C17 Global Overlord, Yang Weiping named it the Y20B Global Overlord. The exterior size is basically based on the C-17 that Yang Weiping is familiar with, and four WS8 Kunlun engines are installed, and the integral load-bearing structure is adopted, which increases the amount of composite materials from the original 8.1% to 25% of C17 to improve strength and reduce weight.

At the same time, the position of the wing box is slightly raised, so that the minimum height of the cargo compartment is increased from the original 3.8 meters to 4 meters. Each pillar of the main landing gear was changed to four wheels side by side (C17 is three wheels side by side) to improve the footing capacity at field airfields. In addition, the increase in fuel load in the aircraft, coupled with the increase in fuel economy brought about by the thrust improvement of the WS8 Kunlun engine, can significantly increase the range.

With the technical parameters and dimensions ready-made in his head, Yang Weiping does not have to repeatedly modify the basic design data as McDonnell Douglas did when he developed the C17. Instead, it was put in place once and a model of the airplane was made.

Y20B Global Overlord, its design has a big breakthrough compared with Y20A (Xinyun 10). When Ma Fengshan and others successfully made the model for wind tunnel testing, the Y20B wind tunnel was basically successful for the first time, which deeply shocked Ma Fengshan, Wang Chun and other old experts.

Director Yang personally went out, and it was really extraordinary!

When the Y20B aerodynamic layout successfully passed the wind tunnel test and the full-scale model was produced, it was already March 15, 1981. And Yang Weiping also stayed in the front-line work of Tiangong Aviation Industry Company for more than eight months!

The basic design of the Y20B Global Overlord was completed, and Yang Weiping did not hide it. He personally presided over a new product launch conference, and publicly announced the photos of the Y20B Global Overlord full-size model and related main parameters to the outside world. It claimed that Tiangong Aviation Industry Company will develop a new type of strategic military transport aircraft with a high degree of flexibility in the next three years, so as to adapt to the strategic transportation of troops to major military bases or direct transportation to forward bases, and if necessary, the aircraft can also be competent for tactical transportation and airdrop missions.

This inherent flexibility and large-scale long-range delivery capabilities can help the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) greatly improve its ability to mobilize forces by air around the world. The Y20B Global Overlord combines strategic and tactical airlift capabilities and will be the only transport aircraft in the world that can adapt to both strategic and tactical missions.

As soon as this news was announced, the eyes of the two hegemons, the United States and the Soviet Union, were immediately shocked.

Huaxia is actually developing a military transport aircraft that can be adapted to strategic-tactical tasks? And it seems that they have already completed the preliminary design and will soon be able to come up with a prototype!

Sir Yang Da's newly established Tiangong Aviation Industry Company has been established for less than a year, and in such a short period of time, it has determined such a domineering strategic-tactical military transport aircraft development plan!

Is this the Tiangong Group bragging about the release of satellites, or is it really capable of developing such a strategic weapon that is enough to pose a huge military threat to both the United States and the Soviet Union?

Although the first prototype of the Y20B global overlord has not yet come out, the performance and parameters announced by Tiangong Group are enough to make the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union feel deeply shocked.

To know that with the intelligence capabilities of the CIA and KGB, they have long known that Huaxia has successfully flown a four-engine long-range aircraft, and it is said that the comprehensive performance of this four-engine long-range civil airliner, which Huaxia called Xinyun 10, is not much worse than that of Boeing 737 and Airbus A310.

Huaxia has the ability to manufacture the new Yun Ten, so the Y20B global overlord announced by Tiangong Aviation Industry Company should not be untargeted.

Yang Weiping would rather give up his status as a senior ministerial-level official of the Huaxia government and do his best to prevent Huaxia from importing the MD-82 production line from the United States, which is enough to show that Huaxia's development potential in the field of aviation industry has exceeded the US government's previous estimates.

Supposedly, if the Y20B Global Overlord is really as powerful as the news pictures describe, Tiangong Group and the Huaxia government should keep it strictly secret from the outside world.

However, why did Yang Weiping's Tiangong Aviation Industry Company publicly disclose this information to the outside world? What was his real intention?

For a time, the number of international friends who came to Chang'an for tourism increased unprecedentedly. (To be continued......)
