In the next three days, Yang Weiping accompanied Ye Jianxiong to inspect and express condolences to Huaxia Aviation Industry First Group and Tiangong Aviation Industry Company.

At Huaxia First Airlines, Ye Chien-shiung took the time to make a comprehensive understanding of the trial research of the Jian-Hand 7 Flying Leopard.

From April 1980 when the contract was signed to November 1981, when the Jian-H-7 Flying Leopard passed the technical appraisal, it took only one year and seven months for Huaxia First Airlines to complete the trial production cycle of the Jian-7.

The J-7 "Flying Leopard", known as FBC-1, is a medium-sized fighter-bomber designed and developed by China since the 80s. The aircraft is mainly equipped with naval aviation. It is another advanced combat aircraft developed by the Huaxia Air Force after the J-10, J-14, FC-1 and Qiang-5 B2.

The J-7 aircraft has a conventional layout. It adopts a medium aspect ratio swept upper wing, with an outer wing with aerodynamic torsion and a wing root with corner filling. The oblique fixed axis is fully moving, the middle and lower flat tail, the large swept single vertical tail, and the single pelvic fin. Air intake on both sides, bee waist-shaped fuselage.

Two WS9 Qinling medium-thrust turbofan engines are side by side in the rear fuselage, which can provide a maximum thrust of 17,000 daN, a three-point fuselage landing gear, the front landing gear is in the form of a rear strut, and the main landing gear is a small wheel base "outer figure-eight" rocker type.

The J-7 has a length of 22.325 meters, a wingspan of 12.705 meters, a parking height of 6.575 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 32,475 kg, a maximum external weight of 8,500 kg, a maximum M number of 1.85, a maximum speed of 1,250 km/h, and a transfer range of 4,550 km. The combat radius is up to 1850 km.

A new 23mm double-barreled gun was mounted on the lower right side of the front fuselage, with 200 rounds of ammunition in reserve. The total bomb load is 5000 kg. It has the ability to equip large-weight, large-caliber weapons. Air-to-air missiles that can be launched in a variety of attitudes can be hung. The most important weapons are C-802K/803K air-launched anti-ship missiles, which can carry up to 4 pieces. Two wingtip pylons can be used to mount Thunderbolt-5 short-range air-to-air missiles.

The main combat mission of the J-7 is to carry out ground and sea attack missions, and it has a certain fighter escort capability. The aircraft can be used to attack the enemy's in-depth targets in campaigns, attack battlefield targets such as transportation hubs, important forward seas, air bases, beachheads, and troop assembly points, isolate battlefields, support and support ground and sea operations, and carry out long-range interception attacks on the enemy's large and medium-sized surface ships.

This project is a key R&D project formulated by Yang Weiping for Huaxia First Airlines after seeing that Huaxia Third Airlines was "not doing business" to build the FC-1 Thunder Dragon during his tenure as director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The purpose is to target the global fighter market in the 80s and 90s, so that Huaxia can add another competitive export-earning model.

Yang Weiping's idea is very simple, as long as Huaxia Aviation Industry develops according to his established guidelines and policies, the FC-1 Thunder Dragon and FBC-1 Flying Leopard. There is absolutely enough advantage to compete with the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union for the global market for fighter exports.

Huaxia Yihang did not disappoint Yang Weiping either. It took only one year and seven months to complete the final design of the J-7 Flying Leopard fighter-bomber and start the first batch of 30 small batches.

When Yang Weiping saw the neatly placed fifteen brand-new J-7 Flying Leopards in the finished hangar of Huaxia First Airlines, an idea came to him.

On the way to visit Tiangong Aviation Science and Technology Industrial Park. Yang Weiping made a suggestion to Ye Jianxiong, who was sitting in a FAW-Benz S320 with him.

"Grandpa. Although the J-7 began to be installed in small batches in the naval aviation units. However, if there is a chance for the J-7 to participate in actual combat, I believe. This will be of great benefit to increasing the export order volume of the J-7 in the future. ”

Ye Jianxiong pondered for a while, and then asked, "You mean the Iran-Iraq war?"

"Hehe, grandpa, in this world, Iraq and Iran are not the only ones at war. Yang Weiping said with a smile on the ground: "One of the main combat missions of the Jian-7 is to carry out attacks on the sea. Isn't Argentina preparing for war with the whole country, and I think that the central government can consider selling the Jian-7 to South America. Perhaps, our Flying Leopard may give the British Navy a big surprise by then!"

"Surprise? Hahaha! I think it's frightened!" Ye Chien-shiung smiled with great joy: "This idea you kid put forward is not bad! No matter what kind of new equipment it is, it can only prove its greatest value after being tested in actual combat." ”

"War is the most effective means of advertising new weapons and equipment. Yang Weiping nodded and smiled: "I can predict that when Argentina and Britain fight, the three fighters made in Huaxia, such as FC-1, Qiangwu B2 and FBC-1, will become the most sought after upstarts in the global fighter market!"

"If Britain and Afghanistan really fight on the Falklands, I think the British Government will definitely demand an arms embargo on Afghanistan against our country. Ye Jianxiong said in a deep voice: "At present, we have cooperated with British companies on large-scale projects such as industrial gas turbines, shipbuilding, and Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, and we cannot but carefully consider the requirements put forward by the British government. ”

"I think Huaxia just needs to declare its neutrality. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "The Chinese government and the Argentine government have long signed an export agreement, and no matter how much the British government protests, we must act in accordance with international business practices and principles." ”

"What if the Iron Lady invites you, the noble baron of the British Empire, to come forward?" Ye Jianxiong asked with a smile looking at Yang Weiping.

"Hong Kong. Yang Weiping simply said only two words.

Ye Jianxiong's eyes were sharp, and he asked solemnly: "You mean, we can use this opportunity to put the issue of Hong Kong's return to the agenda early?"

"Since we have a chance, why not?" Yang Weiping nodded with a smile.

"It's still you young people's brains that spin fast!" Ye Jianxiong smiled happily: "This idea is very good, you kid has made a great contribution to the country." Say, what kind of reward do you want?"

"I hope that the central government will consider letting Lu Dongming, the current vice governor of Zhejiang Province and member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, go to the CPPCC in advance for retirement. Yang Weiping didn't say anything polite to Ye Jianxiong, and directly made a request.

"Lu Dongming, former vice minister of light industry?" Ye Jianxiong asked with a puzzled look, "Has he offended you?"

"His son has sinned against me. Yang Weiping replied indifferently: "Lu Dongming's son, Lu Wenjie, was once one of the permanent directors of the Red Mansion. I hold 15% of the shares of Lui Group, and I have also put forward a lot of constructive suggestions on the business development of Lui Group. However, Lu Wenjie didn't say any hello to me, betrayed the Red Mansion, and went with Wang Zhen's son Wang Jun. Since he is unkind first, then don't blame me Yang Weiping for being unjust. ”

"Lu Dongming was promoted by advanced comrades. Ye Chien-hsiung's old eyes became extraordinarily solemn and said: "It is very likely that the advanced comrades will become the third president of New China!"

"Lu Dongming is Li Xianjian, Vice Chairman Li's person?" Yang Weiping asked with obvious surprise: "No wonder Lu Wenjie dares not to take me seriously." Grandpa, you should always know that I have never taken the initiative to confuse others, and it has always been others who look at me Yang Weiping unpleasantly. The mud bodhisattva also has three points of anger, and the rabbit bites when he is in a hurry! If I still hide and pretend to be a grandson like before, then I, Yang Weiping, really have no face to stay in the country anymore. ”

"The advanced comrades have always had a good impression of you, and I will find an opportunity to say hello to him. Ye Jianxiong hesitated and said: "It is said that we older generations should not meddle in the grievances of your young people, you can deal with Lu Wenjie if you want to, if his father Lu Dongming is strong for his son, it is Lu Dongming who violates the rules of the game first." Reason goes all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason. ”

"Grandpa, thank you!" Yang Weiping bowed his head to Ye Jianxiong very sincerely and thanked him.

"What are you being polite to me, kid!" Ye Jianxiong raised his hand and tapped lightly on Yang Weiping's head, "You are Qiaoqiao's husband, and we are a family." I'm eighty-six years old, and I don't have a few years to live. I only hope that whatever you do in the future, you will think more about the happiness of Jojo's family. ”

"Grandpa, I, Yang Weiping, am not the kind of person who is ruthless and unreasonable. Yang Weiping looked at Ye Jianxiong's old eyes very seriously, and said: "Since I promised to marry Qiao Qiao as my wife, I will definitely fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a husband!"

"Wei Ping, I hope that in my lifetime, I will live to see the child you and Qiao Qiao have. Ye Jianxiong took Yang Weiping's hands, smiled kindly and said: "Children are the most effective bridge to maintain the relationship between husband and wife. ”

"Grandpa, I promise to let your old man enjoy the joy of four generations in the same house!" Yang Weiping nodded solemnly and said: "Even if you are a hundred years old, I also promise to make the Ye family the most powerful consortium family in China!"

"I believe in you!" Ye Jianxiong nodded vigorously and laughed loudly: "The most correct decision I, Ye Jianxiong, have made in my life, is to recruit you Yang Weiping, a grandson-in-law with great ability!"

After the inspection and condolence delegation representing the central government and the leaders entered the core workshop of Tiangong Aviation Industry Company, Ye Jianxiong once again opened his eyes.

The Y20B global overlord is certainly the core research and development project of Tiangong Airlines and McDonnell Douglas Airlines, but the Y20A civil airliner is also a key project of Tiangong Airlines.

Tiangong Airlines' factory workshop, whether it is the working environment or machinery and equipment, is obviously more modern and high-tech than the production workshop of Huaxia First Aviation Group.

The 708 project, which was established in 1970, has been reinterpreted in the hands of Yang Weiping and has been rejuvenated with amazing vitality.

In September 1980, the second Y10 prototype was successfully tested in Huaxia First Airlines. However, Yang Weiping was not very satisfied with the comprehensive performance of Y10, so he proposed to develop Y20A with better performance and safer on the basis of Y10.

The Y20A civil aviation aircraft and the Y20B military transport aircraft were launched at the same time. The scientific and rational parallel engineering not only does not conflict with each other in the development process of the two projects, but also complements the latest research and development results.
