Chapter 599: Island Debt Payment

"Judging from the video, six White Crane fighters vs five F16s, unexpectedly won?"

"No way, it's F16D!"

"Didn't anyone notice that the two warring parties were the country of Pattani YSL and the Royal Thai Air Force?"

"That's true, but if it's not computer effects, where did this video come from?"

"It can't be that there is an air war between the two countries, and then it is photographed by Penglai Island, right?"

"There is this possibility, I heard that the International Space Agency's Sky Eye satellite system can even clearly photograph the ants on the ground, and it is easier for a fighter to shoot such a big target!"

I have to say that there are still many smart people in this world. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone's discussion of what you say and I will soon get close to the truth.

Ordinary people don't know about the air war between Pattani and Thailand, but the governments of other countries know very well. Especially Huaxia and Mi Guo, as indirect parties, they already knew the ins and outs of the incident not long after it happened.

Although the pattern of confrontation between the two superpowers of China and the United States is taking shape, neither government has made war a priority, and regular dialogue has been maintained between the top leaders. After the air battle in the Gulf of Thailand, the two heads of state also had an emergency communication to prevent things from getting out of control.

After all, they don't want a real confrontation over the fight between two insignificant small countries.

"I really didn't expect that the pilots of the YSL Air Force in Pattanii could fight like this with Thailand's F16." The Huaxia General Staff received a video of the air battle, which many staff officers are still discussing.

"At the beginning, the technicians of Penglai Aerospace Company said that the full version of the White Crane fighter is connected to artificial intelligence assistance, which is conducive to pilot operation, even if it is an inexperienced pilot, it can also give full play to its combat effectiveness, we didn't believe it at the time, and now it seems that this is indeed the case." A major general said to the lieutenant general next to him.

"Artificial intelligence directs air combat, this is a whole new field!" The lieutenant general's pupils shrank, and his expression was extremely grim.

"Now the development of science and technology has completely exceeded our expectations ten years ago, and the chief of the General Staff is preparing to reformulate the military science and technology development plan." The major general said softly, "Originally, we expected that artificial intelligence would only appear between 2030 and 2040, but in fact, artificial intelligence appeared 20 to 30 years earlier than we expected!" ”

The lieutenant general sighed softly: "Not only artificial intelligence, but also aerospace aircraft, mechas, and lunar bases, which we didn't dare to predict, aren't they also appearing now?" ”

"Speaking of which, these technologies are all related to Lu Yang, which is really strange. You say, did Lu Yang really get the alien technology? The Major General asked with a frown.

The lieutenant general glanced at the major general: "Why do you believe such nonsense?" ”

"I just thought it was weird......"

In the Pentagon, a group of generals are also analyzing the performance and characteristics of the White Crane fighter jet through video.

"It's hard to believe, is this really the damn YSL Air Force doing it?" A general wondered.

"Hmph, the Thai Air Force is too weak, and it wasted our F16D fighters in vain!" A colonel was not convinced.

After the alliance between Thailand and the United States, the United States supported them with a batch of F16 fighters.

"Objectively speaking, the strength of both sides is not strong, and in terms of the quality of the fighters, the Thais are even stronger." Defense Secretary Ross said, "Judging from this video, the combat effectiveness of the White Crane fighter is indeed stronger than that of the F16D, and I don't know how they compare to the F16G." ”

"Minister, we should now raise our vigilance against Penglai Island, they already have aerospace fighters, and now they are manufacturing such advanced fourth-generation fighters, they must compete with us for the arms market." Paul thought a little further, "I'm afraid it won't be long before those arms dealers have a headache." ”

The arms dealers of the United States and the army of the United States are a community of interests, and the arms dealers have a headache, and the army must not stand idly by and find a way to find a market for them.

"Paul, I heard that the Hakutsuru fighter is connected to the artificial intelligence command system, which is simpler and easier to pilot." Rose asked, turning his head.

Paul nodded: "Yes, that's what Penglai Aerospace Company said. However, we also tried to use Gaia to command air battles before, but in the end there was no obvious effect, so the Ministry of Defense believes that it is just an exaggeration by the Chinese. ”

"Yes, I thought so at first, but after watching this air battle, I think if it wasn't for the Huaxia Air Force flying fighters to fight, then Penglai Aerospace Company was telling the truth! To be able to let a group of backward YSL people master an advanced fourth-generation fighter in such a short time and defeat Thailand, an air force power in Southeast Asia, is the only explanation! Ross Garcia's eyes twinkled, and he said with great certainty.

"This ......"

"We can't underestimate the current technology of the Chinese people, what we can't do, they may not be able to do! Cars can go from manned to now unmanned, why can't fighters? Maybe it won't be long before unmanned fighters will appear in Huaxia! Ross made a bold prediction.

"Oh my God, that's a nightmare for the United States!" Paul exclaimed that the gap between the Huaxia Air Force and the United States Air Force in terms of equipment is getting smaller and smaller, and the most important gap is in the quality of pilots. This is not to say that the Chinese soldiers are inferior to the United States, but the latter have sufficient actual combat experience, and Huaxia has been in peace for a long time, and the training is in place, and it is not good to say that it has not been tested in actual combat.

On the other hand, the reserve force of the United States Air Force is very strong, and there are flying clubs all over the country, and they can convert a large number of fighter pilots in a short period of time if needed. On the other hand, in China, except for the Air Force, there are very few people who have come into contact with aircraft.

"If Huaxia creates unmanned fighters, with their strong industrial production capacity, the air force will grow exponentially......" Paul no longer dared to think.

"Regardless of whether this guess is accurate or not, we must apply artificial intelligence to fighter jets as soon as possible, and we must not be left behind by the Huaxia people!" Ross Garcia said firmly.

A number of countries that have potential purchase intentions for the White Crane fighter received the video and began to reconsider the purchase. The country with the most positive attitude is Venezuela, and on the third day after the air battle, Venezuela has sent personnel to Penglai Island to negotiate with Song Minglun to introduce White Crane fighters.

Venezuela is one of the countries that Lu Yang attaches more importance to, because this country has a good relationship with China, and at the same time, they have a strong anti-rice tendency. In addition, Venezuela is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, which is important to Luyang's Caribbean strategy.

Song Minglun received the Venezuelan delegation, and he took the Venezuelan side to visit the production line of the White Crane fighter and gave a detailed introduction to the situation. Through the first day of contact, Song Minglun found that the other party's purchase intention was relatively strong.

However, there is also a problem here, and that is that Venezuela has no money!

Venezuela is a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and one of the most important oil exporters, with some of the world's largest oil reserves and production. For this South American country, oil revenues are very important, accounting for 70 to 80 percent of government revenues.

However, in the last 6 years, the price of oil has been declining, which has hit the Venezuelan economy hard. Since 2014, oil prices have plummeted. In 2013, the international oil price was $140 a barrel, but in August 2020, the international oil price was only $52 a barrel.

For an oil-dependent country like Venezuela, the impact of the drop in international oil prices is fatal. According to their own data, Venezuela now owes $128.3 billion in foreign debt, including $43.8 billion to China alone.

Therefore, even if they want to buy a White Crane fighter, I am afraid they will not be able to come up with this money.

Song Minglun reported the situation to Lu Yang.

"There's no money to buy fighter jets, Venezuela is really weird." Lu Yang sighed.

"They're trying to take out a loan." Song Minglun said, "As soon as we met today, the Venezuelan delegation told me about their friendship with Huaxia, and I was embarrassed to hear all kinds ......of fleshy words and praise Huaxia as a paradise."

"Haha, they all say that foreigners are honest, you look at these foreigners, there are a lot of eyes." Lu Yang laughed loudly, "They think that if they praise us a few words, we will give them a discount, or a loan?" Are they too naΓ―ve, or do they think we're too stupid? ”

Song Minglun restrained his smile: "Boss, I don't think they're stupid." In a conversation with their head today, the other party revealed that they could use the island to pay off their debts! ”

"Island debt?" Lu Yang immediately thought that four years ago, it was reported that Venezuela was ready to transfer the island of Blanquilla in the Caribbean Sea to Huaxia to offset the $50 billion owed to Huaxia, and at the same time borrow another $10 billion from Huaxia.

"Is it Blanquilla?" Lu Yang asked.

Song Minglun nodded: "This is the island." ”

Lu Yang's eyes lit up: "This suggestion is good." There was a rumor about it four years ago, and although I don't know why it ended up being aborted, it would be a great thing for us to be able to have an island in the Caribbean. ”

"In that case, I'll talk to them again." Song Minglun said.

"It's worth talking about, and it's better to try to get a meeting with their high-level leaders. You help me convey to them that Penglai Island welcomes their President Alfredo to visit! "I've heard that President Alfredo is even more anti-Mi than ChΓ‘vez, and I believe we will have a lot of common language." ”

After Song Minglun left, Lu Yang checked the situation of Blanchia Island, this fan-shaped island covers an area of 64.35 square kilometers, about 300 kilometers away from the capital of Venezuela, and the scenery is very good. (To be continued.) )
