891 The development of China's aviation technology must be stopped
(Add 1/3 for @ South Gate Big Tiger this pit goods)
"How much a battleship costs per year for maintenance, everyone knows. Moreover, it is conceivable how attractive the battleships we sold to China are for China, which the navy cannot even build a large warship of 4,000 tons. However, because of its industrial backwardness, China did not have much experience in shipbuilding, and the main weapon system was dismantled, leaving only the shell of a large battleship with half the power, what will they do? The only way, the only option, is to transform this battleship into a missile battleship! It took so much time for the Soviets to just get the Kirov ......," Mister continued.
"However, if Chinese get this battleship out and make it a missile destroyer, they will be able to have stronger capabilities in the manufacturing technology of large warships, and they need to develop radar systems, air defense, ground, anti-submarine, anti-ship search radars and missile launch systems, and even, power technology for large warships......
These technologies, once developed by China, will be a serious challenge to the United States' maritime supremacy.
The worst thing is that once the United States destroys the Soviet Union, China will be the enemy of the United States, whether China wants it or not, it will have to be the enemy of the United States.
Otherwise, without the threat of the Soviet Union, the US Congress will certainly not agree to continue to maintain huge military expenditures and to reduce US military spending, which is very unfavorable to the US goal of dominating the world.
China and the United States, although very far away, but the two sides are separated by a Pacific Ocean!
If China can threaten the United States, it can only be a large warship.
"So, I think the last time we sold an Iowa class to China was a huge mistake. In order to make up for this mistake, we cannot continue to sell naval equipment to China, and even anything that can promote the development of their naval equipment technology cannot be given to China! The direction of China, it should be the USSR. And now, they are threatened by the Soviet Union's huge and advanced fleet of fighters, and we can help them improve their fighters to a level close to the third generation, but not to the third generation......"
It seems that what both sides say is very reasonable.
Reagan was in a dilemma for a moment.
For him. At present, a strong China is in the interests of the United States, and only by making China strong will the Soviet Union have to devote more energy to China, and there is a national border of tens of thousands of kilometers between the two countries, and it is not easy to defend against an attack anywhere.
But a strong China. But it made the Soviet Union an intractable problem after it was destroyed by the United States.
China can't be too strong, and it can't be too weak, only in this way can it be compliant.
If Reagan wants to surpass presidents like Washington, he can only do these things.
"Fighters are the threat. Chinese fighters, whether it is engines, avionics systems, or even supporting missiles, are not good. The aerodynamic layout is worse or something, once the technical level of Chinese fighters develops, then, in the future. Their defensive circle will increase a lot, and our security will not be guaranteed just in the direction of Taiwan and Japan, and the United States is too far away from those two places. China is right next to us, and if we lose those two places, our power in Asia will be completely squeezed out......" Mister said with a disdainful face.
Reagan was even more embarrassed.
In fact, he is more inclined to cooperate with China in the matter of fighter planes.
The Soviet Navy was not strong, although it had a huge nuclear submarine force, once the Soviet Union **** overturned. None of these things are likely to be a threat. Moreover, submarines simply cannot defend themselves! A few depth charges can sink a nuclear submarine.
If Taiwan and Japan are lost, the U.S. bases in South Korea will also be encircled.
The rest is only the South China Sea region.
In that area. If China is ruthless, the United States will not be able to touch it at all.
"China has basically zero warships, and even if the various systems are successfully integrated, it will take at least 20 years or more, if we and our allies don't provide them with the technology, even if they develop it. It's just backward, when they develop, we are also developing, they start from no foundation, we start from our current foundation...... Without foundation, supporting and research, it will even bankrupt the Chinese government! Now, they are developing the economy, and they have already launched a lot of projects, large missile destroyers, aircraft carrier construction programs, large nuclear submarines, and so on...... We can't tolerate this kind of thing, the navy is the most expensive, and once it is established, the annual maintenance cost is a lot of money......" Mister continued to state his own opinion.
"Whether it's 20 or 50 years, it's going to be a threat to us. If they want more power, we can sell engines to them, and at the same time, sell avionics systems, etc., which can effectively prevent the development of Chinese technology, and at the same time control China's fighter production, we want them to produce as much as they want......"
"Won't they make copies on our basis?"
"Well, I think we still need CIA intelligence for this matter. Colonel Evik, you haven't spoken, why is that? I think you can come up with a better ......" Reagan was a headache.
China is a huge problem.
If we don't do it well, we will see the current situation with the Soviet Union again.
The Soviet Union had a large union republic, and China was the leader of the Third World.
"Mr. President, generals, I think you should first hear what we know...... A certain Chinese unit has been developing turbofan engines, and it has now entered the stage of air test flights, and has entered hundreds of hours...... As for the fighters, according to reliable sources, China has a pulse Doppler radar, and the J-8-II exported by China to Iran is equipped with this kind of radar...... "Evak's intelligence immediately shocked everyone.
"It can't be! How could the Chinese have pulse-Doppler radar! They simply do not have such a technical base! "At the beginning, the adviser who said that he would cooperate with China in fighter technology immediately stood up in surprise." Aren't all their Yun Ten already dismounted? McDonnell Dalwellall is in communication with China, and China is preparing to introduce McDonnell Douglas aircraft production ......"
"The Yun-10 project has indeed been discontinued in the Chinese government. But the entire Yun-10 team was relocated to Rongcheng, China. The original Taipingsi Airport in the southern area of Rongcheng, if you know something about the history of the Flying Tigers, you should be familiar with it, has now become a huge construction site, and the entire airport is also being expanded, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded......"
Evik's words sank everyone.
That's not the way the script is.
"In addition, there is also news that the Chinese and Iran have reached an agreement several years ago, and many F-14 spare parts on the Iranian side have begun to have a source, and there is even news that the Chinese are copying our F-14!" Evik's words were like a bombshell falling into the calm water, and it instantly set off a monstrous wave.
F-14!
The Chinese are copying the F-14!
The F-14 is a more advanced fighter than the F-15 and F-16 currently in service in the United States, but this involves some unseen transactions, so the F-14 has been replaced even if the model improvement has been very successful and the performance is more advanced.
The Chinese imitated the F-14, once successful, although it could effectively cope with the Soviet Union and put more pressure on the Soviet Union, but also caused greater pressure on the United States.
"How's they going?" Reagan took a deep breath.
The dismount of the F-14 has a lot to do with him.
He knew this fighter very well.
China should have been getting this fighter for a long time, after all, since Ayatollah Khomeini came to power, Iran has only had the best relations with China.
Since China's relations with the United States had only just begun to recover, and because it was worried that China would turn to the Soviet Union, the United States did not make much of a fuss about it.
Even when China exported Saudi Arabia's DF-3 missiles last year, the United States only protested a few words.
"There hasn't been a test flight yet, because they don't have ......an engine," says Evick, grimly, "but their engine has already started testing the air platform......"
"This must be stopped!" Reagan said through gritted teeth.
There are so many small moves in China that people don't think of them at all.
"Yes, we have to stop this, we have to cooperate with their military, I think, we should give them another fighter, and at the same time, let China have the opportunity to improve the technical performance of their J-8 II, be able to resist the penetration of Tu-22 Backfire bombers, be able to intercept MiG-25 reconnaissance planes, and even helicopters, we also have to find a way to make them give up the Z-91, which China has begun mass production and has a good appearance of armed transport helicopters! Prevent them from continuing to develop better technology! ”
Faced with such a situation, even Mister had no way to raise an objection.
The development of the Chinese is obviously much beyond their imagination.
If you want to blame, you can only blame China for doing a very good job of secrecy in this regard, and in some places, foreigners can't go at all, and even the Japanese spies under their CIA can't speak fluently in the local dialect of a certain place in China, otherwise it will soon be exposed, where can they still find out the intelligence?
"Reliable information?" Mister was a little incredulous.
Although he thinks that China's technological development is very good, it has exceeded his expectations too much.
He himself has given China enough attention.
"The news comes from officials of the Chinese government, and some of their officials want to buy a full line of F-14 fighters from us......"
"This should be true...... "The young figure came to Mister's mind.
