Chen Xu wanted to use Soviet nuclear submarines to bolster China's military power, while U.S. imperialism climbed up the pole in an attempt to make China the main force against the Soviet Union in Asia. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to the US imperialism, the only thing that can resist the Soviet Union on this blue star is the Chinese family. In particular, in Asia, the US imperialists have only one Japan as their strategic fulcrum, and they have more than enough self-preservation and lack of progress, and if they can push out a militarily strengthened version of China, it will be tantamount to completely blocking the Soviet Union's way out in Asia.

Such negotiations are more about mutual help than mutual use.

The Chinese family will not be a pawn of any country, and Mr. Deng should have made this issue clear to the US imperialists when he visited the United States a while ago, and China will not join NATO, but will only carry out limited cooperation with the United States.

In particular, China will not accept any assistance with political demands, and although the Chinese family is poor now, it is very ambitious and will definitely not exchange sovereignty for benefits.

However, the US imperialists are obviously not giving up, China's power is too great, how can such a good chess piece be used well!

The Alpha-class nuclear submarine has given US imperialism a good entry point to aid the Chinese nation, and interest groups like Bush Sr., who are trying to arm China against the Soviet Union and, by the way, make a lot of money on military spending, are eager to arm the Chinese army to the teeth.

However, the opposition forces within the US empire are also very strong, and they are afraid that excessive arming of China will seriously damage the interests of the United States, and they are smart people who have a long-term view.

However, if there are smart people, there must be stupid people, and the arms interest groups of US imperialism can only make money now, but they will not care about the monstrous floods in the future.

The bait is poisonous, Chen Xu can choose not to bite the hook!

As a person who knows that the Soviet Union has only ten years left to move its national fortunes, it will take at least seven or eight years for the weapons sent by the US imperialists to be fully in place, and the Soviet Union will be in a dying state at that time.

Chen Xu's heart blossomed, and he smiled without hesitation and accepted the bait under the American emperor.

The matter of the Navy is settled, and the next negotiations are the turn of the Air Force and interest-free loans.

The old chief hinted next to him that Chen Xu could accept it when he saw it, after all, an aircraft carrier fleet had been negotiated, China had already made a lot of money, and it didn't matter whether the next negotiations were successful or not.

And Chen Xu felt that since the US imperialists had decided to arm China, there was no reason to only arm the navy and ignore the air force. Therefore, Chen Xu is looking forward to it, he wants to see to what extent Bush Sr. will arm the Chinese Air Force, and the more armed he is, the more he will be able to see through the conspiracy and tricks of the US imperialists.

Chen Xu studied the warships just mentioned in his mind again, except for the regret that he could not get the Aegis ships, these ships are all a temporary choice, and there is no better warship than them at this stage, so he said in an affirmative tone: "We are very satisfied with the requirements of the warship part, and then let's negotiate the rest of the issues in one go!" ”

"Couldn't agree more!" Obviously, the elder Bush also wanted to settle this negotiation as soon as possible, because after all, it was only a cursory exchange of views, and when the overall agreement was signed, all kinds of details and all kinds of follow-up requirements would be written out thicker than a dictionary.

Especially for the delivery of each warship, the audit list behind it is a huge amount of work. Therefore, the current negotiations are just the beginning, and the specific details will need to be discussed for a long time in the future.

Bush Sr. took a deep breath and continued: "According to the requirements just put forward by the Chinese side, the Chinese Air Force needs 200 F14 Tomcat fighters, as well as a production line for fighters. Let me take the liberty of asking, what does China want so many advanced fighters for? ”

"Mr. Bush should know that there is a long national border between China's north and the Soviet Union, and the Chinese Air Force's fighter performance is backward and it is powerless to compete with the powerful Soviet Air Force; in particular, the Soviet Union's Backfire strategic bombers can enter China's airspace as if they were no one, and the threat to China is too great. China hopes to obtain the F14 Tomcat, which has strong air supremacy capabilities, as the main fighter for China's territorial defense. Chen Xu's word by word shows China's expectations for Tomcats.

"Two hundred is too many, and the F14 is a heavy air superiority fighter, which is very expensive to build, and the United States cannot afford such a huge cost for China. Moreover, the manufacturing cycle of ordering 200 aircraft at one time will be very long, and it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short time. If possible, it is recommended that China choose a corresponding number of F16 light air superiority fighters and match them with F14, so that the two fighters complement each other and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. ”

The elder Bush frowned and made an analysis, it is not easy to be in charge, China's demand is excessive, and the United States is not a philanthropist, so it is natural to try to save money. Even if we can't save money, we must try to balance the interests and balance the interests of different arms groups in the country, and we must not only let Grumman share all the cakes, but also let General Dynamics eat a piece of the cake of military aid.

However, from the words of Bush Sr., it can be judged that the US delegation really does not have any doubts about handing over the F14 to China, and they are only worried about how to let domestic arms dealers get a piece of the pie.

The price of an F14 is $38 million, and the price of an F16 is less than $10 million.

Among the active fighter types of the US military, the most advanced F15 heavy fighter is the most expensive, with a price of $50 million each, and even the US imperialists have a toothache when they buy it.

"The F16 is indeed a good aircraft, but if it is paired with the F14, there will be no less. An F14 must have at least two F16s as wingmen. Chen Xu swallowed his saliva, he couldn't ask for it if he could receive F16, and since the American emperor was willing to send it to the door, he had no reason not to accept it.

"Such a combination is very reasonable, so how many F14 Tomcat fighters does China need?" Bush Sr. wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again, took a piece of orange from the fruit bowl on the table, sipped it on his lips, and asked very seriously.

"The number cannot be less than 160!" Chen Xu hesitated for a moment and reported a figure that he thought was very reasonable.

"It's still too much, I think 120 is enough." The elder Bush used a pen to calculate on a blank piece of paper for a long time, and cut down another 40 fighter planes, which was equivalent to saving $1.5 billion at once.

Chen Xu recalled in his mind the strength of the Soviet air force deployed in the Far East in history, and the 120 fighters could barely fight the Soviet air force.

The key is that according to the calculation of one F14 with two F16s, the number of fighters deployed by China on the border has reached 360, and such a huge third-generation aircraft fleet is enough to protect the Chinese sky from intrusion for ten years.

"Agreed! However, the United States still needs to provide 240 F16 fighters to enrich the Chinese Air Force, and at the same time must achieve the same performance as the United States Air Force, and the Chinese side does not accept the castrated version of the aircraft. Chen Xu nodded and emphasized.

Bush Sr. smiled and said: "This is no problem, I guarantee that the performance of all aircraft is exactly the same as that of our Air Force." ”

In the end, Chen Xu made a summary and read word by word: "According to the discussion just now, the United States will provide China with 120 F14 Tomcat heavy air superiority fighters and 240 F16 light single-engine fighters. It also includes the transfer of aircraft production technology, supporting production lines, ground maintenance, pilot training, and the transfer of ammunition technology. ”

Here, Chen Xu emphasized the transfer of technology, and China must have the R&D technology and manufacturing capabilities of the two types of aircraft. He didn't want to bring in hundreds of advanced American fighter jets, and as a result, he didn't have the production capacity himself. When China and the United States become hostile, the United States only needs to jam its neck in parts, and all these Chinese planes will have to lie on their stomachs, and the strength of the air force will decline rapidly in the short term.

Bush Sr. opened his mouth and seemed to say something in his throat, but when he saw Chen Xu staring at him, he knew that the transfer of aircraft technology and production lines was the bottom line of this Chinese. No matter how much you dwell on this issue, it is just a waste of saliva, so you simply don't care about this aspect.

Bush Sr. could only reluctantly shrug his shoulders and agree to Chen Xu's request, and then said: "Then the number of planes has been determined, according to China's production capacity, after the agreement is signed, we will deliver 30 F14 and 45 F16 to China every year until all are delivered." The production line will also help to establish soon, please China survey the address of the factory as soon as possible, and I will send engineers to build the factory as soon as possible. ”

The matter of the plane was negotiated, Chen Xu and the old chief were old fritters, and they could still keep their expressions unchanged, but the other Chinese representatives at the negotiation table could not hold back their expressions, and they couldn't stop the enthusiastic smiles on their faces after seeing that the country had won so many advanced fighters.

Just when Chen Xu felt that the negotiations on the plane were about to end, Director Turner, who was silent next to him, suddenly interjected: "The Chinese Air Force has introduced air superiority fighters, lacking ground attack capabilities, and it is recommended to introduce a certain number of F4 ghost fighters, although this fighter is a second-generation aircraft, but the ground attack capability is very strong, you can consider it." ”

Chen Xu was very surprised that Director Turner took the initiative to send the plane, but what he said was indeed right, China's ground bombers are indeed very poor, and the Flying Leopard fighter developed in later generations made up for this shortcoming. The F4 Phantom is a two-seater, twin-engine heavy air defense fighter, and although it is a second-generation aircraft, it is still a very advanced fighter in this era. The second-generation fighter J-8 developed by China has just come out, and it is purely a human-operated rocket, and there is a big gap between its performance and F4 ratio.

"China can introduce about 100 F4 Phantom fighters, including its R&D technology and production line. The United States only needs to provide us with 30 prototypes, and then we will copy and produce this type of fighter by ourselves. Chen Xu tapped back and forth on the conference table with his ten fingers in waves, and said loudly.

Chen Xu felt that after the introduction of the F14 and F16 two most advanced fighters, the production technology would definitely be distributed to different domestic aircraft manufacturing enterprises, so that the domestic technology could be digested and absorbed at the same time. Although the ghost is a second-generation aircraft, it has outstanding ground performance, and it can also introduce production lines to imitate production by itself, so as to promote China's aircraft industry to base itself on the introduction of advanced Western technology, improve its own research and development capabilities after digestion and absorption, and catch up with the West as soon as possible in multi-faceted development.

Director Turner took the initiative to remind Chen Xu that he should improve the air force and let him open his mind! Chen Xu felt that he might be able to strike while the iron was hot, and asked the US side to introduce technology in transport planes, armed helicopters, transport helicopters, early warning aircraft, and so on......
