"Chairman, although we can't buy this light aircraft carrier, but we are missing out on the east corner, Thailand and Brazil want to purchase new aircraft carriers, it is impossible for just one aircraft carrier to be able to form combat effectiveness, aircraft carriers to exert their maximum combat effectiveness needs a variety of supporting auxiliary ships, we can make some efforts in this regard."

Yang Hui wants to open it now, anyway, he can't get the aircraft carrier, so do a good job of supporting work, and it's not bad to drink soup, sometimes the essence of a pot of stew is in the soup.

For example, in the previous meeting, after Thailand purchased the aircraft carrier, it then purchased a 26,000-ton comprehensive supply ship in the Republic, in order to provide the Thai Navy's new aircraft carrier with the ability to fight in the ocean. That's what the Brazilian side likes to see the most.

As for the rest, there are some fleet escort ships, such as frigates, destroyers, etc., which are not ships that Thailand needs to procure.

Moreover, there were already four Chao Phraya-class frigates purchased by Thailand in 88, plus the order for the next two Nalai Songen-class frigates to be signed in 91, which laid a pretty good foundation for the Republic ** ship in Thailand, and it is still very possible for the Republic to get the escort ship order for the aircraft carrier at that time.

Of course, Vice Chairman Liu knows these clearly, and immediately reacted after hearing what Yang Hui said, this time he did not take the opportunity to get the purchase order from Thailand in advance, which is really a little sorry for the several major shipyards in China that have been waiting for orders.

"It makes sense, after you said this, I suddenly became really interested, anyway, I must promote Thailand's purchase of this aircraft carrier, otherwise where will the escort warship purchase order come from. It seems that you will have to worry more about the Thai aircraft carrier this time, although the matter of this naval ship is not very related to your southwest science and industry, but considering that you are more familiar with the Thai side. Moreover, the commander of the Thai Air Force, Wenjin, who purchased the J-74 fighter before, is now Thailand's Minister of Defense, and also holds the post of Deputy Prime Minister. ”

About his old friend, Yang Hui still remembers it relatively clearly, as a fat giant rat, ∽dǐng∽diǎn∽小∽ said, .◆.o▼s_(); In the project of purchasing J-74 before, I took a lot of benefits from Southwest Science and Industry, but I didn't expect such a person to be able to mix so well, and he has already become the Minister of Defense of Thailand.

I really don't know if this is the misfortune of Thailand, or the luck of Yang Hui or the republic, after all, such a guy is still easier to talk to, and the two sides know each other better, so it will be easier to talk about things when the time comes, and it may not be possible to have some unexpected gains.

I immediately took on this task very happily, I haven't communicated with that old Thai friend for a long time, and I really don't know if the relationship is rusty.

"Please rest assured that I will contact the Thai side after I go back, they have been using the J-74 aircraft for so long, it is time to do a user satisfaction survey, which is conducive to our Southwest Science and Industry in the future when designing fighter jets, can be more excellent and perfect. As for the issue of aircraft carriers, I will definitely do my best to lobby for us to be able to send some observers to blend in with their aircraft carrier projects and see how an aircraft carrier is designed and manufactured. ”

Knowing that Thailand's current defense minister is this guy Wenjin, this can lead to some more radical ideas, and in the entire aircraft carrier project, if there are relevant experts from the Republic of China who can be mixed into Thailand's aircraft carrier team, and even follow up the entire process of aircraft carrier construction, it will be a really good thing, and it will even be of great benefit to the future aircraft carrier construction work of the Republic.

"Okay, you have done all this, if you can have a chance in what you said, of course it would be the best, if not, don't force it, our biggest goal is to be able to get the order of the escort ship, and the most important thing is to get this order in our hands."

In this way, Yang Hui contacted the Brazilian side again, and after a little communication, the Brazilian side said that it could send relevant personnel to Thailand to lobby Wenjin together, hoping to promote this good thing. Anyway, Yang Hui is the spirit of Lei Feng, and he spares no effort to match the bridge.

The Brazilian side hit it off and sent a general to lobby the Thai side, and Brazil very much hoped that a country could purchase aircraft carriers with them to reduce the unit cost of aircraft carriers.

In this way, the follow-up situation is more exciting, I don't know how happy Wenjin will be when he knows about it, such a big project will definitely be able to feed it with oil.

When the naval lobbyists on the Brazilian side were in place, just as the Paris Air Show on the European side also began, Embraer sent a -17 test aircraft to perform a very wonderful performance, this aircraft plump, beautiful appearance once officially unveiled, immediately aroused the audience's popularity, some professionals naturally know what the relationship between this aircraft and the previously famous J-74 is.

Countries interested in this aircraft are curious to go to ask for information about the aircraft, and discuss some details in detail.

After knowing that this aircraft has almost 500 orders now, they all exclaimed that this aircraft will definitely become a generation of famous aircraft, and the limelight is almost overshadowing the local star Mirage 2000 of the Paris Air Show.

Anyway, everyone knows that the market grabbed after this aircraft came out is the French Phantom series, of course, the French can't bear this kind of behavior, after the -17 air show, it is also the opportunity to increase the number of flight performances of the Phantom 2000, which can really be described as a strong gunpowder smell.

Subsequently, Embraer led a team to participate in the exhibition and announced in a high-profile manner: "Our -17 project is expected to deliver the first batch of pre-production models for military test flights in September this year, and it will be able to form a combat capability as soon as next year." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and they did not expect that this aircraft would be delivered and formed into combat capability so soon, and they really did not know how the test flight work was arranged.

Subsequently, some people began to ask: "Sir, how similar is this -17 Lightning fighter to the -7 fighter that attacked the coalition forces in the Gulf War before?" Isn't this aircraft, like the -7, capable of anti-ship warfare? ”

Anyway, when it comes to the legendary fighter of the J-74, in less than ten years of service, it has made unprecedented naval achievements after World War II, and the total tonnage of the ships knocked out has been close to 40,000 tons, and this anti-ship capability is the signature of the J-74 aircraft.

It is also really done, as long as the aircraft anti-ship is mentioned, it is inevitable that the first time to think of the J-74, as soon as it comes to the J-74, the first time to think of its powerful anti-ship combat capabilities, and the previous Argentine Navy with the super military flag to play the diǎn record, has long been overshadowed by the limelight, now to say who is the most powerful civilian-class air-based anti-ship, it must be counted J-74.

So, as a follow-up to the J-74 overhauled fighter, of course, we must now care about whether the powerful anti-ship combat capabilities of our predecessors can all be inherited.

The answer is to make everyone shout invincible: "Our -17 has a pulse-Doppler radar with better performance than the J-74, which allows the aircraft to detect surface ships at a greater distance, and in terms of anti-ship missiles, we are equipped with the newly developed -802 missile, which has made a huge leap in comprehensive performance, especially in range, and has doubled on the basis of the original -801." It can be said that the -17 Lightning fighter not only inherited the powerful anti-ship combat capability of the J-74, but also made a huge improvement on the basis of the J-74, and has since deservedly become a multi-role fighter with the strongest anti-ship capabilities.
