The Republic began to actively visit the United States, and the standard of the visit to the United States was very high, and the No. 1 leader led the team, and Li Feng also flew to the United States as an accompanying person.

Along the way, the escort of the special plane was a formation of J-8 tactical aircraft.

Because, the world's air force has been cut too much, and tactical aircraft have become the main force of escort.

When it arrived in the United States, the escort formation began to consist of a Chinese tactical aircraft group and a US tactical aircraft group, with a total of more than 90 tactical aircraft, which attracted a lot of attention.

Of course, the tactical aircraft currently used by China is the J-8, which is a generation behind the tactical aircraft currently in service in the United States. At present, the most active tactical aircraft in the US military are F-14 "Tomcat" and F-15 "Hawk".

The F-4 upgraded version of the F-15 "Eagle", compared to the previous generation of tactical aircraft, the F-15 mainly upgrades the electronics and fire control system.

Well, the most outstanding thing about the F-15 "Hawk" may be its fire control system, which is very advanced in the second-generation tactical aircraft, not only better than the F-14, but also inferior to the F-15 in some way!

Because, the F-15 is an upgraded version of the F-4, a product of McDonald's company. An authentic tactical-level originator company, a second-generation aircraft with high hopes.

Since, the F-15 is more expensive and difficult to maintain. Therefore, later the F-16 came from behind, mainly anti-customer, originally to match with the F-15 heavy and light, but in the end, it was because the F-16 was cheaper and easier to maintain, that it robbed the F-15 of the order.

As for the F-14 Panda, which gradually lost to the F-16, it was because the F-14 was a light tactical aircraft, and the combat radius was too short. So, even if the F-14 surpasses the F-16 in many of its performances, the final order is getting fewer and fewer.

The reason why the United States later gave up so many excellent tactical aircraft to concentrate on the production of the F-16 was only the luck of the F-16, and the mass production of one model is obviously cheaper than the simultaneous production of many, production costs and maintenance costs.

"That's the American F-15!" The No. 1 leader looked out the window with great interest, "How about our next-generation tactical aircraft?" ”

"Each has its own characteristics!" Li Feng said, "Our next-generation tactical aircraft is stronger in terms of materials and fire control than the second-generation tactical aircraft of the US military. Of course, the American engines are better than ours, the bursts are fast, and the endurance is a little longer than our tactical aircraft. But overall, it's our next-generation tactical aircraft that is stronger. Because, in the future, the technological competition will be more focused on fire control and computer performance and software! ”

Chief One nodded, and said nothing more.

After all, it is already in the United States, and it is possible that it will be monitored by the United States, and in order to avoid leaking secrets, leaders should set an example and enhance their sense of confidentiality.

The group then flew all the way to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.

The airport was warmly welcomed by the President of the United States and members of Congress.

This is also the largest delegation in China in recent years, and there are not many government officials accompanying it, and there are relatively few military officers. The visit to the United States was accompanied by more people from the business community, including state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

Only part of the delegation will be joined by the special plane, and the other parts will take civil aviation to the United States one after another to join them.

During this visit to the United States, we are not talking about political or military matters, but purely for the sake of economic cooperation.

This is also in line with the principle of reform and opening up -- economic reform and opening up should be the mainstay. On the political front, the main thing is to keep it flat.

Stability is king in any country. Only when there is stability can there be a foundation for development.

For example, if a region is unstable, the economic growth rate is 50% this year, 60% next year, and ...... the year after next The country is in turmoil, the economy has regressed by 80%, and the people are struggling to make a living. So what's the point? The vast majority of countries in the world have failed because of instability!

The country is relatively stable internally, maintaining an annual growth rate of 10 percent, and if it continues to develop like this, it will naturally have a bright future. That's why stability overrides everything!

Well, it seems that the republic is not yet a Warsaw Pact country, not even a Warsaw Pact observer state. It is not all the way with the Soviet Union, but relations with the Soviet Union have eased recently, and at the same time, relations with the United States have also warmed up. It can be regarded as stepping on two boats, and it can not only interact with the Warsaw Pact countries led by the Soviet Union, but also with Western countries led by the United States.

Although the United States is still wary of China, it does not regard China as its main competitor as it did later.

Because, in the fight against beta, the republic is irreplaceable.

China is a self-contained country that is separate from the Warsaw Pact and NATO, although it is not aligned and does not enjoy many of the preferential conditions of the Warsaw Pact and NATO. However, the republic is definitely a powerful faction that should not be underestimated.

Perhaps, compared with the two behemoths of the Warsaw Pact and NATO, the current strength of the Republic is not enough. However, the Warsaw Pact and most NATO countries do not. With the exception of the United States and the Soviet Union, in terms of military strength alone, there is no country in the world that is an opponent of the republic for the time being.

China is almost the same size as Europe, and its population is now larger than that of Europe. The military power may not be as good as the military strength of all the countries in Europe combined, but it is definitely much stronger than the two Germanys in Europe combined at this time.

Moreover, the European countries together are strong as a whole, but they have their own selfish motives, and they are scattered, and it is impossible to unite completely. So, European countries were broken by beta one by one.

The Republic, as a whole, was able to keep Beta out of the Great Wall with a population no less than that of Europe, as well as considerable industrial and military power.

So far, the most elite areas of the Republic's economy and industry have not suffered any losses, and the losses are mainly in the western frontier areas, where the economy and population are relatively small.

During Chief One's visit to the United States, the main purpose was to negotiate with the United States to borrow money -- to issue $25 billion in bonds. This debt is mainly used to purchase industrial equipment and imported technology from the United States.

In the face of China's demand for huge borrowing, the United States actually has concerns.

"Why is China asking for such a large amount of debt, is there something wrong with China's Great Wall defense line?" U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who has just taken office, asked.

Currently, the Great Wall defense line is one of the most important in Eurasia. The existence of this line of defense not only protects China's own security, but also a large number of countries in Asia because China is in the front and has obtained a safe space.

Unless, as in history, Beta fights from Afghanistan to India, and from India back to Southeast Asia and other places, bypassing the Great Wall defense line and attacking the hinterland of China. Otherwise, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and other regions are absolutely safe.

"The Great Wall defense line is as steady as Mount Tai, and Beta has not been able to cross the Great Wall for several years. So far, more than 10 million betas have been wiped out in the Great Wall defense. Our contribution to the fight against beta is far greater than that of any other country! "You should know this very well!" (To be continued.) )
