Chapter Eighty-Eight: To Or Not to Be?
The U.S. military aid package will only appear at a specific time and in a special international environment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After that, the US imperialists will find that China, which has received a large number of advanced weapons, poses a greater threat to the United States than the Soviet Union!
By the time the Americans discovered this problem, it was too late, and the rise of the Chinese family was already unstoppable. Americans just don't have a long memory, after World War I, the revolution broke out in Tsarist Russia, and the Red Soviet Union was born. Because of the economic crisis, European and American countries exported industrial technology to the nascent Soviet Union without restraint, so that the Red Empire established a strong industrial base in just two five-year plans, not only resisted the crazy attack of Nazi Germany, but finally pushed the German army to invade Berlin.
In order to deal with the Soviet Union, the United States armed and used China, which is still very poor, to drive away the tiger at the front door and lure the wolf at the back door.
Now that he already knows that the US imperialists are using the Chinese family, Chen Xu must take advantage of the opportunity to make more good things before the US imperialism regrets it!
Chen Xu glanced at Bush Sr., licked his lips and said: "I heard that the F15 fighter just put into service in the United States has very good performance, surpassing the F14 in terms of comprehensive performance, and it is an all-rounder on the battlefield." It is not known whether it is possible for China to introduce a small number of F15 fighters to test whether the F15 is suitable for China's combat environment. ”
"To be honest, the F15 is too expensive for the United States to equip China with this type of fighter." Bush Sr. shook his head, the F15 is the most advanced third-generation fighter of the US military, and its performance far exceeds that of the Soviet Union's active fighters.
Chen Xu scratched the tip of his nose and came up with an idea: "The Chinese Air Force doesn't need to be equipped too much, a dozen or twenty planes, and a flying group is enough." China has introduced so many American fighters this time, and it will inevitably choose F15 for upgrading in the future. At that time, China had to buy in batches with real money, so now it is necessary to introduce a few aircraft that are familiar with the performance of this kind of fighter, so that in the future, we can use facts to convince the decision-makers in the imperial capital to prove that the F15 is suitable for China. ”
Hearing Chen Xu's explanation, Bush Sr. and Turner bent down and discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally raised their heads, and Bush Sr. cast an affirmative look and said: "If you are just familiar with the performance, a fighter group is too much, we can provide a squadron of F15 to China, I believe that five F15 is enough for your Air Force to experience the excellent combat capability of this type of fighter." If you agree with this amount, this fighter can even be shipped to China immediately, and the efficiency is higher than that of the F14, after all, the F14 still has to be manufactured on the production line, and the F15 just had a batch of new aircraft off the assembly line last month, and it is just right to transfer five planes. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xu shed tears of emotion, Bush Sr. is so sincere, he will give whatever he wants. Chen Xu did not want to use the F15 batch equipment of the Chinese Air Force at all, the Su-27 after the nineties is the most suitable third-generation aircraft, he proposed the introduction of the F15 purely to use reverse engineering to learn the technology, the number does not matter, one is already very satisfied.
"There are no AWACS and tankers, which is fatal for us. Once there is a war in northern China, tanker planes and early warning planes can greatly improve the survivability of our fighters. In addition, large transport aircraft, armed helicopters, and transport helicopters are also urgently needed equipment for the Chinese Air Force. Since he had already taken so many good things, Chen Xu also put his face on his face and asked for it directly.
There is actually no certainty in asking this question, after all, after having the power of tankers and transport aircraft, as well as airborne AWACS aircraft. China's air force will be transformed from the original territorial air defense into an all-round air force with both offensive and defensive capabilities, which is obviously not what the United States wants to see.
However, for Chen Xu, these high-tech planes are all used to dismantle copycat technology, and it is lucky to be able to get them, and it doesn't matter if they can't get them.
The old Bush's mood at this time was helpless, and the Chinese on the other side were really too greedy! If the negotiations continue like this, perhaps he will have to use some of the equipment in service in the United States, and this momentum must be stopped.
"I understand China's desire to improve the strength of its military, but our country's financial resources are limited, and the above-mentioned aid funds have been approved by our National Assembly to the maximum. If China wants to introduce more American-style equipment, I am afraid that it will need to buy it at its own expense, and here I can guarantee that if China buys additional American-made weapons, the price will be the same as that purchased by our military, and there will be no additional price increase! Bush Sr. coughed and refused Chen Xu's endless demands. There is a limit to the weapons and equipment he can give out, and exceeding the limit will provoke the dissatisfaction of Congress and affect his presidential election.
"I have previously proposed that the United States must give China an interest-free loan of $20 billion, but I wonder if Mr. Bush has any objection to this condition?" The United States was unwilling to provide free military aid, and Chen Xu was very regretful, but when he heard that he could buy it with money, he instantly came back to his senses.
But before Chen Xu finished speaking, Director Turner suddenly muttered a few words in the ear of Bush Sr., Bush's face changed, his eyes rolled back and forth suspiciously, and suddenly stretched out his hand to signal Chen Xu to stop the loan first, and then blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Director Turner reminded me just now that the Chinese Air Force is equipped with 360 third-generation fighters, and it is really unreasonable to have no AWACS aircraft, so we decided to provide China with three E3 large AWACS aircraft." Of course, this number is not enough, and as a supplement, our side will also provide eight E-2B Hawkeye early warning aircraft, which can patrol for up to seven hours at an altitude of 10,000 meters, which is enough to patrol the Sino-Soviet border. ”
The elder Bush suddenly agreed to give China an early warning plane, which surprised Chen Xu, especially the E3 'Watchtower' large early warning plane, which is one of the best large early warning aircraft in the world, even though the US Air Force only formed combat effectiveness last year. China's large-scale early warning aircraft Air Police 2000 of the same type will not be successfully developed until more than 20 years later, and the platform used is still the Russian-made Il-76.
This AWACS aircraft is a modification of the Boeing 707, with a large number of expensive electronics installed inside, very secret, and arguably the most advanced electronic warfare aircraft in the United States. Except for NATO countries, which can purchase equipment, other countries don't even think about it, and the unit price of this kind of aircraft is nearly 300 million US dollars, and ordinary countries have no money to buy it.
From the refusal of the United States to the sudden consent, Chen Xu guessed Director Turner's plan in minutes, this guy was considered to give Chinese early warning aircraft from the perspective of intelligence.
The US imperialists have always been unable to do anything about the Soviet Union, and in particular, the US imperialists' early warning planes rarely get close to the Soviet Union. In 1983, the U.S. imperialists planned to use civilian airliners to break through the Soviet air defense identification zone and were shot down, killing 269 people, putting the Soviet Union in a state of extreme passivity.
Later generations of US imperialism also used this trick to get down a passenger plane full of Chinese people and commit heinous crimes.
Counting Outer Mongolia, which took refuge in the Soviet Union, China and the Soviet Union have a border of nearly 11,000 kilometers, and the Soviet army has arranged a large number of front-line airfields along the border.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Chinese Air Force to agree to act as pawns for the Americans and allow US AWACS aircraft to enter China's airspace. However, the AWACS aircraft was given to the Chinese Air Force, and after the Chinese Air Force detected the intelligence, the US imperialists could easily obtain all the information through the back door reserved on the AWACS aircraft.
The most important thing is not that the intelligence of the Soviet Union was stolen by the US imperialists, but the key is that as soon as the radar is turned on, all the terrain and landforms in the inland will be scanned by the early warning planes, and then transmitted back to the United States through the back door and satellite connections, which is no different from directly letting the US military drive the reconnaissance planes inland.
Even if China knew about it, there was no way to solve it, and unless the expensive E3 early warning aircraft was dismantled, or all the electronic equipment on board was replaced, it would not be able to find the location of the back door.
Of course, Chen Xu knew about the backdoor program of the E3 AWACS aircraft, but he couldn't delete them. Because the US imperialists relied on these AWACS aircraft to obtain first-hand information about the Soviet Air Force, it would not be cost-effective to cut off this back door and refuse to deliver the remaining fighters in a fit of rage.
As long as China has the value of use, it is inevitable that the US imperialists will continue to provide China with military aid.
Of course, the E3 AWACS aircraft can't move, but the E2 Hawkeye is no problem, even if China dismantles one for research, the US imperialists will not have anything to say. After all, by sending these AWACS aircraft to China, they are ready for the early warning aircraft technology to be copied by China.
Chen Xu hesitated for a long time, the most important bottom line for receiving US military aid is not to touch China's sovereignty, and the E3 watchtower stationed in the air force is tantamount to violating the sovereignty of his own country.
This made Chen Xu very entangled, he coveted the technology of the pre-US imperialist police plane, just now he proposed to ask for an early warning aircraft, but he just wanted one to come over and dismantle it for research.
But the U.S. imperialists sent three planes in one go, and they won't be all three dismantled! China can choose not to fly, but the Soviets will often intrude on China's airspace, in order to obtain intelligence on the opposite side, if there is no AWACS aircraft, it is better to say, after equipping the AWACS aircraft, how can the Air Force still be able to bear it! In the end, the AWACS aircraft will be driven into the sky.
That's what Turner is going to do, the AWACS aircraft has already been delivered to China, it's up to you whether you use it or not!
"Let me interrupt the meeting for a while, and we will go to the back to discuss the issue of receiving early warning aircraft." Chen Xu couldn't be the master of this kind of thing, and the old chief next to him didn't see through this problem for a while, so Chen Xu had to propose to interrupt the meeting, and then took all his negotiation team outside.
As soon as he got outside, the old chief asked strangely, "What's the matter?" Didn't the Americans promise to give us AWACS! Then, there is a discussion about something. ”
"There's a problem here! The system on the AWACS plane is linked to the US satellites in space, and the planes fly over Chinese territory, and all the data scanned from the planes are transmitted to the United States through satellites. Chen Xu helplessly spread his hands and told the old chief the truth behind the US imperialists who gave China early warning aircraft.
"Hey...... This American is really cunning, he actually put this kind of trap on us, if it weren't for you you I really don't know the twists and turns in it. In the past 30 years, China has been strictly guarding the coastal areas and not allowing US imperialist planes to reconnoiter intelligence, and now it has brought in other people's early warning planes to take the initiative to reconnoiter their own land and then send them to the Americans.
"I don't say, domestic radar experts will guess too. Now the main question is whether we want to accept these three large AWACS aircraft, I can't make a decision, what do you think? Chen Xu stomped his feet on the ground and asked rhetorically.
The old chief took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself, and after smoking half in silence, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and said decisively: "Yes!" Why don't you want it, the fat sent to the door doesn't bite, it's too aggrieved. It's a big deal, let's park the plane at the airport and don't use it, or wait for the Americans' satellites to fly over and we will use it. ”
"Gotcha! Just according to your wishes, take over those three early warning planes and put them in the ashes at home, and wait for us to study them thoroughly and build them ourselves! Chen Xu clapped his palms and made a final decision.
