Xu Deguang was probably said to be in a hurry, and he who had always appeared as a good gentleman actually slapped the table at this moment: "If everyone insists on raising the technical difficulty of the H-8 to this height, the difficulty of research and development of the 909 project will be more than a little more difficult than before, and compared with the old plan, the technical difficulty of the 909 project will have increased several times!"

I can tell you very clearly that the 600 million pre-research and development funds are not enough, absolutely not enough! There is also R&D time, 6 years is absolutely not to think about, the same is not enough, I personally think the most optimistic situation, can use 8 years to come up with a prototype is God blessed......"

A rabbit-like person was forced to bare his teeth!

But everyone didn't care whether the rabbit was ready to bite or not, and before Xu Deguang finished speaking, everyone's eyes had already fallen on Chen Geng's body. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Why?

Because Runhua Industry is the investor of the 909 project, and it is the only one, Chen Geng's statement directly determines whether the 909 project can continue.

The original plan was to spend 6 years and 600 million to come up with a prototype, and the risk of the whole process was controllable, but now the problem is that 600 million is definitely not enough, let alone 6 billion, maybe 8 billion is not enough! As for the R&D time, maybe seven or eight years, maybe ten years, maybe longer.

For any investor, there is nothing worse than the current situation, and the risk of the entire project has more than doubled compared to before!

In this case, is Runhua still willing to invest in this project?

It was also at this time that everyone realized a problem: the role of Runhua Industry in this project was so important: without the investment of Runhua Industry, this project would not have been possible at all!

Chen Geng didn't speak, he was actually thinking about this question in his heart: 6 years and 600 million, this risk is still within Chen Geng's acceptable range, and it is not unacceptable for a longer time, but it would be too bad if the investment amount could not be controlled, which was a nightmare for all investors...... But why do you always feel that something is wrong?

What's wrong?

Thought of it!

Looking up at everyone, Chen Geng slowly spoke: "Everyone, what I want to say is, didn't we give the 909 project a long-term plan?" ”

Are we not looking far enough? Chen Geng's words made everyone look at each other, and Li Jianguo asked Chen Geng in a deep voice on behalf of everyone: "Comrade Chen Geng, how do you say this?" ”

Chen Geng: "As a long-term strategic project, we must not only consider the current needs, but also have a long-term vision, for example, the US military's B-52 strategic bomber, which began mass production as early as 1955, has undergone a number of modifications, and is still alive and well, and I want to smash it in the foreseeable next 30 years It will still be one of the main strategic bombers of the US military, and our H-6 will be the same......."

Speaking of this, Chen Geng's thoughts couldn't help but fly for a short while, how about B-52 to serve for another 30 years, in 2015, the Americans said that B-52 still needs to work for another 35 years, and it will be retired around 2050, but can it be retired around 2050? At that time, it was said that the grandson drove the B-52 that his grandfather drove, and now it seems that after the grandson becomes a grandfather, the grandson's grandson will drive the B-52 again......

"My view is that we can't just look at this aircraft as an aircraft, but as a sustainable modular air platform that can continuously improve its combat effectiveness through continuous upgrades, and a platform that can meet the needs of national defense strategy for the next 30 years or even longer.

Since we want to meet the defense needs of the next 30 years or more, we need to think long enough, so I have two ideas: First, can the Air Force, the Navy, and higher levels organize a demonstration event to discuss what kind of bomber we need? ”

Everyone nodded, all thoughtful: this is also the truth.

I was indeed in a bit of a hurry and a little anxious before.

Li Jianguo was more familiar with Chen Geng, and immediately realized that the second point he didn't say might be the most important, and immediately asked, "What is the second point?" ”

Chen Geng nodded: "The second point, I think the Americans will definitely fight with Iraq, and I have a hunch that there may be a lot of new things and new highlights in this war, I think, after the Americans and Iraq fight, can we observe through this war to see what changes will occur in the form of war under the conditions of the new era, and what impact will this change have on our research and development of a new equipment?" ”

The comrades of the Air Force keenly grasped the information in Chen Geng's words and immediately asked: "Comrade Chen Geng, do you think the Americans will definitely fight with Iraq?" And the Americans will definitely win? ”

Chen Geng smiled and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the large-scale mobilization of the Americans with such fanfare is just to scare the Iraqis?" ”

"This ......" The comrades of the Air Force were speechless for a while, and then frowned and said: "But even if the Americans are ready, don't forget, Iraq's equipment is very advanced, and their army has been trained into an elite armed force in many years of war, not to mention that Iraq has the support of the Soviet Union behind it, even if the Americans go, they may not be able to get it, right?" The Americans may not be able to win, and even if they do, it will most likely be a crushing victory, and maybe even Iraq will become a second Vietnam War. ”

Looking at the expressions of the comrades of the Air Force who were sure that the Iraq War was the second Vietnam quagmire for the United States, Chen Geng smiled bitterly in his heart: Is this how everyone views the Iraq War?

But not to mention, on the eve of the start of the Gulf War, whether it is China or the world, everyone is collectively not optimistic about the situation of the Americans in Iraq, and even the Americans themselves are not very sure of the bottom of their hearts, so 15,000 body bags have been prepared for the body bag, and it is said that they have been prepared, and once the war situation is bad, another 50,000 will be added.

No one could have imagined that the war would turn out to be a crazy one-sidedness!

Including the Americans themselves, Chen Geng estimated that the Americans were also confused at that time: I won the war?! I've won the?! I won the battle so easily?!

However, on another level, the Gulf War was subversive for the Republic's Gaozen and the Republic's military, and after seeing the situation in which the Americans beat Iraq during the Gulf War, their backs were collectively soaked, and their legs were weak: The war situation under high-tech conditions was like this, the traditional way of warfare had undergone such great changes, and Iraq, which was formerly known as the world's third military power, was so vulnerable to the US military's high-tech warfare model......

If there is a military conflict between China and the United States, with China's military equipment level not as good as Iraq's, have we ever fought the United States?

It can be said that it was the Iraq War that woke up the Republic from the typical World War II military tactical thinking of people's war, artillery, and large army operations, and the Americans made China wonder: Oh, the original form of war has changed so much!

In this case, let's wait for the Gulf War to baptize the republic from top to bottom before discussing which direction military equipment should go.

"I may not have the same opinion as everyone else," Seeing the comrades of the Air Force open their mouths, Chen Geng immediately realized that this guy wanted to teach himself a lesson, what "can't be weapon-only", "the only factor that determines the outcome of a war will always be people", "In the Korean War, we relied on millet and rifles to win the American planes and runs", etc., and immediately raised his hand and said: "If nothing else, the war should start soon, for the research and development of a piece of equipment, Determining the direction of focus of equipment by observing a war should be a rare good thing, so you don't need to rush at this moment, right? ”

Chen Geng was a key factor in whether or not the H-8 bomber research and development program could be successfully restarted, and since he insisted on waiting for the Americans and Iraqis to make a decision after the film, it was not easy for everyone to say anything, and the comrades of the Air Force said stupidly: "Well, although I don't think there can be anything subversive in this war." ”

Chen Geng smiled slightly and did not speak: There is no subversive thing? It's subversive, not too much, okay?

"But if it's really like what you say, it will take more investment, right?" Li Jianguo frowned and asked, the implication is that if you say it, you will have to invest more money in it, do you want to see this situation?

Chen Geng smiled: "That's right, but that also means that the market space is broader." ”

………………………………

At the same time, somewhere not far away, two old men were discussing Chen Geng while playing chess.

The tall old man stared at the chessboard with his eyes and said, "My lord, that little guy is bold enough, he dares to mix this kind of thing blindly...... I'm on! ”

The old man, who was not tall, smiled faintly: "This is a good thing, in the economic field, we have to cross the river by feeling the stones and explore a new way, if this little guy can explore a new way for us in the field of military equipment, it is also worth encouraging." ”

The tall old man was stunned: "What do you mean...... Do you agree? ”

"It's not a question of agreeing or disagreeing, Lao Lin, it's still that sentence, for a new thing, let's not rush to conclusions, disagree, don't oppose, first observe for a period of time and then say, isn't this how our great cause of reform and opening up has come to this point?"

"But...... I don't think the opposition will be small. "The tall old man was a little worried.

"Huh...... When has the opposition been lessened? If you want to do a career, how can you succeed without a little courage? The old man had a look of wisdom beads on his face: "Can you get a new gadget without spending a penny, it's not enough for you Lin Laohule?" ”
