The number of fighters that the Air Force needs to update is simply too large, and the number of third-generation aircraft used in the North to defend against the USSR alone cannot be less than three air divisions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The F14 Tomcat fighter has many advantages, but the disadvantages are also nerve-wracking. The complex aerodynamic layout also means that maintenance will be very difficult, maintenance is expensive, and the price of a take-off is expensive, and for the Air Force, which has always been economical, it is a problem to be reluctant to fly.

The Tomcat is just a single air superiority fighter, first-class in air combat, and very poor in ground attack, although it can be upgraded into a bomb cat in the later stage, but it is also a very expensive thing. Unlike the F18, the Hornet has both top-notch anti-aircraft combat capabilities and a first-class ground attack aircraft.

The Tomcat's killer feature is the Dead Bird air-to-air missile, which is fast and long-range, and can attack multiple targets at any altitude beyond the visual range.

Three air divisions equipped with F14s are arranged on the Sino-Soviet border, which can basically intercept most of the incoming Backfire bombers, and can also increase the number of Tomcat aircraft groups according to the situation.

When you put hundreds of F14s on the border, the Soviet Air Force knew that flying across the border would inevitably face the fate of shooting down, but it did not dare to make any moves, and even provocations had to weigh the risks. But when your air force is full of loopholes, they will unscrupulously play side balls on the border and humiliate our air force, and people just bully you and can't beat it!

According to the calculation of 50 fighters in one air division, three air divisions will be full of 150 F14s, which can already change the comparison of Chinese and Soviet air forces. This is only for land-based operations, and there are still 40 carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, plus spare replacement aircraft, and at least 200 Tomcats must be purchased to meet the requirements.

The Soviet Union's third-generation fighter Su-27 could not be equipped in large quantities until after 1986, when a fleet of 150 Tomcats in the north of our country had already been established, and as for the MiG-29, the Tomcats could be completely ignored.

The Tomcat is a temporary substitute for China's territorial air defense, and when the Soviet Union collapses, the Air Force can introduce the Su-27, and then it can absorb the advantages of these two fighters at the same time, develop China's own third-generation fighter in an inclusive manner, and at the same time accumulate research and development experience for the fourth-generation fighter.

It is impossible for the United States to produce such a large number of Tomcat fighters, and China must introduce production lines, obtain all technical information, and produce and maintain them by itself.

According to the old chief's speculation, the introduction of the F14 production line is the hardest bone in this negotiation, and the aircraft carriers have to be behind, and whether they can gnaw it down depends on Chen Xu's ability.

According to the unit price of the F14 fighter, 200 F14 Tomcat fighters will cost almost $5 billion in addition to the supporting production line, missiles, repair shops, and maintenance personnel.

This is still a friendship price, and if the US imperialists are greedy, it is possible that the selling price will exceed six billion dollars.

This price is enough to create the history of US arms sales, and it will also be the largest arms sales contract of this era.

The $5 billion order was enough to make the CEO of Grumman, the manufacturer of F14, so excited that he knelt in front of Chen Xu to add shoes. Because of this order, Grumman may come back to life, and whether it will merge with Martin in the future is a matter of two theories.

Either way, Grumman will do whatever it takes to broker the deal, even to buy members of Congress for approval. Historically, Grumman has also come to China to promote the F14 Tomcat, but because the unit price of the fighter is too expensive, it has not been sold, so Grumman will become the biggest help to promote this deal because of its huge interests.

However, even if this big deal can be negotiated, Chen Xu still has to face the most fatal problem, that is, where should the $5 billion be found?

If there are only a few dozen planes and a few hundred million dollars, Chen Xu can easily solve it. But the huge amount of $5 billion is very nerve-wracking for him.

Therefore, arms is a profiteering industry, and the price of high-precision weapons will soar if the number is a little more, and tens or tens of billions of dollars will be casually released.

However, in Chen Xu's opinion, the things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Therefore, airplanes must be bought, and the production line must definitely be discussed, no matter how cunning and picky the American politicians are, they are also the lackeys of the capitalists. As long as Chen Xu can come up with greater benefits, those capitalists will not hesitate to agree to the conditions.

There are not only one or two US presidents who prevent the capitalists from getting rich and are finally killed.

Chen Xu could only temporarily hope that the US imperialist could give him a loan, first pay the deposit for the plane, and then pay a batch of planes to pay a payment, so that Chen Xu could bear it.

Besides, the production cycle of 200 aircraft will be very long, but Chen Xu is a little worried that after the breakdown of Sino-US relations, he may not be able to deliver the full amount.

Therefore, the production line must arrive as soon as possible, first import parts from the United States and assemble them in China, and then develop them themselves to gradually solve the problem of parts localization.

As for the payment for the purchase of the plane, it is how long it can be delayed, and it is best to drag it out after the Sino-US confrontation, and the remaining balance can be left unpaid.

As the US delegation's visit drew closer and closer, the atmosphere at the submarine base gradually became tense, and in order not to lose face, the old chief even ordered that the trees on both sides of the main road leading into the base be replaced, planted neatly, and the interior of the polar region should be made bright and clean, so as to make people feel as comfortable as possible.

At this juncture, of course, Chen Xu can't just be leisurely and don't do things.

The old chief was in a hurry every day, his mouth was so anxious that he couldn't eat. As soon as he was nervous, the whole base was nervous, and everyone had a sense of crisis, as if they were not receiving a delegation from the United States imperialism, but an alien mission, and if they were not well received, humanity would be extinct.

In order to alleviate the pressure of everyone, Chen Xu asked for a room facing the sea in the base and began to draw quietly. Search your mind for Soviet intelligence and weapons blueprints that are useful to US imperialism as bargaining chips.

In fact, Chen Xu didn't know what drawings to take to impress these Yankees, if it was a normal time, he would just take some advanced designs, which would be amazing enough. But this time it is different, Chen Xu wants aircraft carriers and the latest fighter jets, each of which is a high-tech weapon in service with the US imperialists, and it may be difficult for the Americans to let go if they do not pay a price equal or even exceeded.

After more than 20 days, the US delegation finally arrived in the imperial capital, and the news came that the delegation had a very large number of people, as if there were more than 300 people, most of whom were representatives of large companies and large enterprises accompanying the delegation, and wanted to come to China to step on the market to see if they could invest, after all, the huge market of 1.2 billion people, even if they just ate a little cake dregs, they could make a lot of money.

The delegation spent seven or eight days in the imperial capital, and finally one day, the most important 10 or so figures in the group disappeared from the hotel, took a plane overnight to a certain military airfield along the coast, and then took a specially arranged bus to the submarine base by the sea.

The whole process was carried out at night and in extreme secrecy, so that the slightest wind could not be heard by the outside world, so as not to affect the negotiations. After all, in addition to the old chiefs, the bigwigs in the imperial capital attach great importance to this meeting, and they all hope that the negotiations can be successful and help the country introduce a large number of advanced American-made weapons to achieve the goal of balancing the Soviet Union.

Escorted by dozens of military and police vehicles, the bus stopped steadily in the square at the front gate of the base, and the old chief led some important people of the base to stand neatly at the gate.

Seeing that someone got out of the car, the old chief took the lead in greeting him, and then warmly hugged and greeted the first person, Chen Xu knew that the old chief could actually speak fluent English.

In fact, this is also very normal, many leaders of this generation have gone abroad to study, such as Mr. Deng has been to France, and French is definitely no problem. It's no surprise that the old chief knows English.

At this time, the sky was still very dark, and with the bright street lamps in the square, Chen Xu saw clearly the person who hugged the old chief, and then his heart was trampled by 10,000 grass and mud horses, because this person was actually the old Bush! The 41st president of the United States imperialism was also the father of George W. Bush. Both Bushes were war maniacs,

In fact, it is inevitable that he will be able to participate in this delegation, and the elder Bush once served as the director of the US Liaison Office in China and had close contact with the high-level officials of the imperial capital, so it is no wonder that the old chief hugged him as soon as they met, and the two were already very acquainted. At the same time, he also served as the director of the CIA, and is now running for vice president, so he can be said to be a big celebrity in American politics.

There is no doubt that Bush Sr. represents the interests of the US imperialist arms conglomerates and the oil conglomerates, and it is understandable that both father and son like to wage war. There must be huge interest groups behind US presidents, such as Clinton represents the interests of Wall Street, and Hillary, who ran for election in later generations, will inevitably be pushed to the pinnacle of power by Jewish conglomerates.

And with the US imperialist economic crisis creating a huge debt black hole, Wall Street has reached the point of burning its ass, financial groups must control the president's power to arrange a way out, and other interest groups have to get out of the way for the time being, so the chances of Hillary Clinton coming to power are much higher than Trump's.

Seeing Bush Sr., Chen Xu felt very relieved, behind this guy is the US imperialist arms group, and he must have been instructed by the financier behind this submarine to see if there is any technology needed by the arms group.

The second one to get off the car, a relatively unfamiliar one, is the current director of the CIA of the US imperialists, Turner, who was born admiral, is a guy with a big temper and is not easy to talk to. This person is supposed to represent the president of the United States, and this person has a lot to do with the current President Carter, and this person probably only cares about the communication equipment on the nuclear submarine, because these are related to the nuclear safety of the United States, and he will not care too much about other technologies.

The third one to get off the car was actually Anna, a little girl, she made a great contribution this time, and she was able to come to Zhonghua with the group, it should be Turner who needed her as a consultant, after all, she was the only one who had enough contact with Chen Xu.

Then the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, submarine experts, naval representatives, etc., the United States seemed to know that the Chinese side was preparing to use this Soviet nuclear submarine to carry out an exchange of interests with the United States, so it brought all the people who should be brought.
