Chapter 185: 166 Stratofortresses

At the end of the Cold War, the Soviets invested 40% of the country's resources in the arms race with the United States. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the Red Empire is at the end of its rope, so many Soviet scientists can develop almost anything with the support of abundant resources, and it is not difficult to come up with anti-stealth weapons.

Chen Xu doesn't like stealth fighters because the future of stealth technology is a dead end, and the development to the extreme is just to make it undetectable by radar, and this technology is useless for human beings to go to the starry sky of the universe.

However, although stealth technology is a dead end, it cannot be denied that it is indeed invincible before there is no corresponding means of checks and balances, a fighter that can detect the enemy before the enemy attacks, and it can also cruise at supersonic speed for a long time, and it is normal for the third-generation aircraft to be unable to confront it. Even in later generations, China can't think of a better way to deal with it, so it can only follow the United States to develop stealth aircraft, because before the anti-stealth technology comes out, the best way to deal with stealth aircraft is stealth aircraft!

Chen Xu doesn't want to invest all the precious scientific research resources in stealth technology for the flower planters, why should the Americans go crookedly in the science and technology tree, and China should follow suit!

So he decided to hand over the responsibility of anti-stealth to the Soviet Union, and let them spend huge manpower and material resources to solve this problem. In this process, Chen Xu will spare no effort to invest in technology to support, such as sending the Soviet Union a military-grade supercomputer, with the help of supercomputing, it can be like a tiger with wings, so that the Soviets can calculate the way to deal with stealth aircraft faster.

Therefore, Chen Xu has no interest in F117, and can only say that Bush Sr. is a little worried, but being not interested does not mean that it cannot be used as a bargaining chip, and it is still okay to scare Bush Sr.

Chen Xu licked his tongue along his lips, smiled at Bush Sr., and said with raised eyebrows: "Mr. Bush, I heard that Skunk Factory has recently developed a very advanced bomber, which is said to be completely invisible in the air, and it is said that it has already been test-flown Although the prototype dropped two, it is difficult to hide its excellent performance." If China can get this technology, then Moscow will be simply an undefended city for us, flying over and bombing the Kremlin, and the Soviets don't even know who did it. ”

"Airplanes can be stealthy in the air! Is there really such a technique? The eldest brother sat next to him, with an expression of disbelief, and said in surprise.

At this time, it was not only Chen Weiguo, the conference room suddenly became lively, the aircraft that can be invisible is simply an incredible technology for people in this era, because they have no concept and they don't know that this stealth is actually just invisible to radar, and it can be seen from afar with the naked eye. But because it is not familiar, everyone will mistakenly think that this stealth technology is the kind that the aircraft has completely disappeared from the air, even if it is invisible to the naked eye.

In fact, when the F117 was leaked, the US imperialists used this dynasty to divert the attention of the media, making the Soviets mistakenly believe that the United States had developed an aircraft that could completely disappear.

Because it is a highly classified military secret, few people even in the United States know about it, so the US negotiators were surprised to ask Bush Sr. to verify whether such an airplane really exists.

Bush Sr. glared at Chen Xu fiercely, this kid can accurately say that Skunk Works developed the F117, and he also knows that two prototypes crashed, which shows that he has accurate information. In order to protect the secret from being leaked, the elder Bush retorted almost categorically: "Mr. Chen, please don't say such unreliable words, how can there be an aircraft in the world that is stealthy in the air, do you say it?" ”

Chen Xu propped up the elbows of his hands on the table, kept stroking the ten fingers of his hands, and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm mistaken, the news media in the United States often write some science fiction plots in newspapers, and I occasionally believe it when I see it." However, if the United States really has such an aircraft, it can really be called an air artifact, and the victory over the Soviet Union is just around the corner! ”

"That's probably what science fiction is about, how can there be such an airplane in reality! Mr. Chen also asked you to come back to the meeting, make your request seriously, and don't change the topic again. Bush Sr. coughed vigorously and warned Chen Xu not to mention the F117 again, and obediently asked for an ordinary bomber, which could be the master of China within his power.

"Okay...... Since there are no stealth bombers, what about nuclear-powered bombers? I was very interested in hearing that the United States had learned about a French aircraft powered by a nuclear reactor that could fly in the air all the time without landing. Chen Xu did not intend to let Bush Sr. go like that, and continued to propose a bizarre aircraft model.

"Nuclear-powered aircraft? That kind of thing we gave up in the fifties, that is, a flying nuclear bomb, especially the damage of nuclear radiation to pilots cannot be solved at all, and there is no use value at all, if the Chinese side is willing to take over, I can promise to take out all the design drawings of this aircraft, and hope that the Chinese side can create a miracle to develop a real nuclear-powered aircraft. Bush Sr. did not accept this, and decisively agreed to Chen Xu's request, anyway, nuclear-powered aircraft have no strategic value, and China will not be able to do anything with them, and if they crash in the experiment, they may pollute a large area of the country.

"Ahem...... Since this kind of aircraft is so unreliable, then we still don't want it. Just now Mr. Bush said that he could hand over the B-52 to China, but I wonder how many planes the US side is willing to deliver? You must know that this is a strategic bomber, and if there are fewer of them, it will not be able to suppress the Soviet Union at all. Chen Xu hurriedly rejected Bush's kindness and changed the topic to ask.

Although the B52 is an old and long-discontinued bomber fighter, it cannot be denied that it is still a good aircraft that can perform long-range cruise missions, and it is certainly not possible to attack major powers. However, it can play a great role in small countries without air force, and this kind of bomb load can easily carpet bomb small countries, which plays a great deterrent and makes the enemy fearful.

It is not of much use for China to receive the B-52, it is obviously not possible to use it to bomb the USSR, and the air defense of others will shoot you down in minutes. It is not the turn of the surrounding small countries to dispatch strategic bombers, and in short, this kind of aircraft that is neither high nor low does not conform to the national conditions of the flower planters. The only advantage of this kind of aircraft coming to China is probably to use it as a training plane, or to fly around Japan and the bay for three days after the end of the Cold War to threaten with force.

The more the merrier, since the Americans are willing to give, Chen Xu doesn't mind receiving, anyway, the B-52 is extremely durable because of the redundancy of the airframe, and the service life is as high as 90 years, don't look at this kind of bomber with eight engines, it is actually quite fuel-efficient, at least it is much less than the Valkyrie's hourly use fee, and it is really the best to use it to train the strategic air force.

Bush Sr. pinched his chin and was a little embarrassed: "The B-52 was discontinued in the early sixties, and the production of such large aircraft took up a lot of space, and Boeing's production line was already used to build passenger aircraft." However, we have produced 744 of these aircraft, and the large number of equipment is not very useful, if we can help the Chinese side to establish a strategic bomber force, two wings, equipped with 166 B-52 aircraft, including supporting ground logistics facilities and training logistics personnel. ”

In order to form a strategic deterrent to the Soviet Union, the US imperialists frantically built strategic bombers after the fifties, and the B-52 is a typical example of this, but now this old strategic bomber is no longer usable, unless the Soviet air force can be solved, the huge B52 fleet can only be parked in the airport as a decoration.

The Valkyrie can still break through the Soviet air defense system at high altitude and high speed, and may be able to successfully complete the bombing mission, while the B-52 is a subsonic aircraft that is not fun at all, and it will be shot down as many as it flies out.

Bush Sr. knows that the ultimate fate of the huge B-52 fleet of the Air Force can only be sent to the aircraft cemetery to be sealed, just as the Chinese want to build a strategic bomber force, then send two wings of bombers over, anyway, this backward bomber cannot threaten the United States, send it out without worrying about strategic security.

More importantly, after acquiring a huge bomber fleet, China can exert tremendous military pressure on the Soviet Far East, and if it uses third-generation fighters as escorts to carry out surprise attacks, it can still break through the Soviet air defense system to achieve strategic objectives.

The Soviets will not sit idly by and watch the Chinese bombers grow, and will certainly expend huge military resources to establish countermeasures, such as laying layers of defenses in the Far East against Chinese bomber groups.

This kind of consumption of Soviet military resources is extremely in line with the interests of the United States, although China will bear more military pressure from the Soviet Union, but so what? The harder China and the Soviet Union pinched the better, if there is a need, it is not difficult for the United States to send all the B-52s over, just a bunch of old planes produced in the fifties, not distressed.

The conditions of the elder Bush were very rich, which made Chen Weiguo and others extremely excited, and these were 166 bombers, which were like pies smashed from the sky. Especially for other negotiating officials, it is even more joyful, if this matter is completed, it will be an unprecedented great merit, and it is already a thing that can be encountered after returning to China.

Only Chen Xu scoffed at this, there is a demon when something goes wrong, he was originally only going to ask for twenty or thirty training planes, so that he would be able to ask for a Valkyrie later.

Now that Bush Sr. is giving 166 B-52s in one go, it is not normal, there must be a trap here, and he can't say anything! (To be continued.) )
