Chapter 106: Military Cooperation? (1st Update)

The person who came to talk to Cheng Yuan about the introduction of technology and the purchase of aircraft was a lieutenant general of the General Armament Department, named Wu Hongfei, who was only 48 years old, and was a rather young cadre officer based on his military rank.

This Wu Hongfei is said to be a typical technocrat, he was originally a publicly-funded student who went abroad in the 80s, and once obtained a master's degree at MIT, after which he resolutely returned to China, first worked in Shen Fei, and then transferred to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

In the 90s, the Gulf War dealt a heavy blow to the top level of the republic, making them realize the importance of high technology, so technicians like Wu Hongfei began to be popular, and the army also began to recruit technical personnel into the army and awarded military ranks, at that time, Wu Hongfei was directly awarded the rank of second lieutenant.

Later, at the end of the 90s, he happened to encounter the fact that the General Armament Department was separated from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and established on its own, so he seized this opportunity and went to the newly born General Armament Department, where he was quickly reused with his qualifications and ability.

Because of his excellent skills, and because he married the daughter of a certain bigwig of the Central Military Commission, and he has a keen sense of politics, he has never made a mistake in standing in line, so he has been promoted all the way, and now that the new leadership group has come to power, he has already hugged the leader's thigh and has become a 48-year-old Xinzha lieutenant general.

Of course, this information was not said by Wu Hongfei or the relevant personnel themselves, but provided by Emma, and Emma's information came from Vivian's team.

As for why Vivian's team has this Wu Hongfei's information, it's even simpler, although Huaguo has a strong ability to keep secrets, but in terms of the resumes of major officers in Huaguo, it is not a very secret thing, and foreign spy agencies have long found out the resumes of those officers with a little rank and ability. Even if it's not a department like the CIA, it's just a Swedish intelligence department, it can get this information, and the Swedish intelligence department, because the intelligence head is controlled by Vivian, is now simply Vivian's own business.

Not only Sweden's intelligence departments, but also the intelligence departments of Norway, Denmark, and Spain, are basically Vivian's direct or indirect subordinates, because their intelligence leaders have all been subjected to Vivian's mind control techniques, and they have been subconsciously controlled by Vivian, or hypnotized.

Generally speaking, Vivian's ability has not yet been unsealed, so her ability is limited, and some determined people cannot be controlled. Therefore, it can also be seen that the psychological quality of these intelligence chiefs is not high, far inferior to the well-trained agents under them.

However, no matter how good the psychological quality of the agents is, it is not easy to be controlled, but they have to listen to the above, if the above are infiltrated, then the lower ones can only dance with the baton, are those agent leaders, how many of them are real agents? Not all of them are politicians, and politicians, eight out of ten are soft eggs.

To get back to the point, according to Wu Hongfei's resume, it can be seen that this Wu Hongfei is a bureaucrat who understands technology and politics, and he is also an elite person in the army.

In the actual conversation, Cheng Yuan also found that although this Wu Hongfei wears glasses, he looks very bold on the surface, although it is not to the point of talking loudly, but he has no shelf, and he talks a lot without breaking it, he can always find a topic, and not let the conversation between the two be cold, which is very suitable for Cheng Yuan's appetite and is a qualified negotiator.

In comparison, his attaché is more restrained, basically does not speak, and I don't know if it is to deliberately highlight Wu Hongfei, or if these people's surnames are like this, in short, it is a stark contrast to Wu Hongfei, which makes people feel that Wu Hongfei is bold and sincere.

After the initial haha, the next thing is to start talking about business, this Wu Hongfei does not hide it, it turns out that people are not talking to Cheng Yuan directly, but want to use Cheng Yuan as an intermediary to personally connect with the people of the Ostan Group, preferably Princess Vivian.

In other words, from the beginning, they negotiated directly with the people of the Ostein Group, rather than with Cheng Yuan. In their eyes, Cheng Yuan is still just an agent of the Western elite group, but after all, it is not the Cold War period, the ideological conflict is not so serious, and there are more interests appealing, so Cheng Yuan's role is very heavy, after all, it is now the Chinese state that seeks the Austan group.

Today's Huaguo is no longer the period of being closed and self-controlled, with limited knowledge of the outside world, and reform is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, but it is more open, and it is becoming more and more open; Today's high-level leaders in China have long been exposed to the years of war and movement, and a group of educated and knowledgeable elites are holding power, so they have a relatively clear understanding of the development of the outside world, especially the development of technology.

As the world's second largest economy, although China is getting stronger and stronger in terms of economy, in terms of science and technology, because of its late start and many restrictions, there are still many gaps between it and developed countries in Europe and the United States, but in the 21 st century, this gap has begun to become smaller and smaller.

It is indeed getting smaller and smaller, don't look at the current domestic technology that looks down on Huaguo's technology at every turn, and Huaguo's technical personnel are also not as good as foreign Yunyun, but in fact, longitudinal comparison, for example, in the fifties and sixties, or in the seventies and eighties, this gap is even greater.

It can be said that 30 years ago, China's scientific and technological level was so naïve that it could not even see the taillights of Western countries, and could only run with the exhaust of others. Today, 30 years later, China's scientific and technological level can reach out and touch the backs of Western countries, and it seems that as long as it steps up a little more, it can catch up or catch up.

In less than 30 years, China's scientific and technological workers have caught up with the level that many developed countries have developed over the past 100 years, and the speed of catching up is gradually accelerating, which is already a remarkable achievement.

Many things are like this, simply only comparing horizontally, not looking at objective factors, and only blindly belittling oneself, which is a problem in itself.

The economy continues to grow, science and technology continue to progress, and the military national strength continues to increase, these things make the leaders more and more confident, and the top level is more and more confident, so that they dare to say the Chinese dream.

However, all of this is based on knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, but now, a large number of new materials brought by Cheng Yuan have made Huaguo collectively feel a new round of crisis.

Everyone knows the important surname of the material, for example, Huaguo's aircraft has done a good job in aerodynamic design, avionics system, etc., but the key engine and aircraft fuselage materials are still far behind foreign countries, which also causes the surname of Huaguo fighter to be unable to be mentioned.

Why is this so? The key is that the material is not good!

It can be said that the emergence of new materials can bring about a technological revolution, and every technological revolution is an opportunity, seized, can rise rapidly, just like Britain during the first industrial revolution and the United States and Germany during the second industrial revolution, which can quickly make China stand at the top of the world and become a super-first-class country; If you can't catch it, you may be distanced by Western countries again and continue to be reduced to a second- or third-rate country, such as the late Qing Dynasty, which just didn't seize the opportunity, so it caused the continuous turmoil and a century-old national humiliation.

Why is it that the country is not tough on external provocations now, but only condemns? Why does a small Diaoyu Island only dare to fight with Yuben? In the final analysis, it is not that the national strength is not good, but that the military force is not hard, and the military force is not hard, in the final analysis, the level of science and technology is not enough, and the material technology is not good!

No one wants to be a soft egg, no one wants to be tough, but hard air is not like North Korea's cruel words, you have to have muscles. People with muscles, people who speak quietly will also take care of you, a child, no matter how fierce you are, people will not care about you.

The long-term pragmatic thinking has made the top level of China gradually realize that under the new situation, it may be difficult to fight a large-scale war between major powers, but there will be more and more local conflicts, and in order to win a steady victory in local conflicts, it is necessary to improve the scientific and technological content of the armed forces and improve the overall scientific and technological level of the country.

For this reason, Huaguo has been working hard, and has always believed that it is at the forefront of the world in terms of materials, but unfortunately, those new materials brought by Cheng Yuan have made them realize that the gap between them and foreign countries is not narrowing, but suddenly widening!

But isn't it, when Huaguo is still working hard for a few kilograms of graphene a year, and is complacent, people can already export hundreds of tons, and not only export to their own country, but also to several other countries. This means that people can at least produce more than 1,000 tons per year, or even thousands of tons.

With an annual output of thousands of tons of graphene and other new materials, this is a rather terrifying thing, especially when this situation does not happen in China itself.

If it is just like this, it is just for Huaguo to realize the gap, then when the new, a large number of new materials are applied, and the fifth-generation fighter with unparalleled surname ability, the Raven fighter appears, this makes Huaguo anxious.

You must know that the Raven aircraft produced by the Saab Group is said to be a fifth-generation aircraft, but in fact, it is a fifth-generation and a half-generation, and it has already touched the heel of the sixth-generation aircraft, and it is not an exaggeration to even directly say that it is a sixth-generation aircraft.

And, looking at what people mean, it seems that it will soon be put into mass production, good guys, if it is really energy production, this Western country not only has F22, but also has this, so can people still live?

In other words, although the F22 aircraft is now, but China still has a way to deal with it, not so afraid, after all, the F22 has an Achilles heel, can not be visually stealth, satellites and other visual monitoring means can be prevented in advance, but in the face of this kind of crow aircraft with faster speed, stronger firepower, higher super stealth ability, especially can achieve visual stealth, no one dares to say that it can be stopped, after all, Hua [***] side has done a deduction, at present, all of China's anti-air missiles can not pose a threat to the crow!

In this way, Western countries, especially South Korea, which has good relations with Western countries, are equipped with this...... The consequences are unimaginable!

Why are the Raven planes so good, it is because of the application of new materials, since the aircraft can be used, what about the battleships and tanks...... Theoretically, it can all be used!

"Ming people don't say dark words, Cheng Dong, as a Chinese, you also hope that the country can be rich and strong, right? Can you not be oppressed by others? You don't know the past hundred years of shame in our country, right? ”

"Of course." Cheng Yuan nodded, "My history is still passing." ”

"In that case, then I won't hide it from you." Wu Hongfei sighed, "Cheng Dong, our country is now eager to get the relevant technology of this commonly known as the crow aircraft, if there is no technology, it would be good to introduce more of this aircraft, and as far as I know, all this is actually in the hands of the Ostan Group, so we want to talk directly to the Ostan Group about the introduction of technology and finished products." ”

"Actually, why is it so troublesome?" Cheng Yuan smiled, "Having said so much, don't you just want this kind of plane?" It's simple, I'm in charge, and I'll sell it to you. ”

"Huh? What did you say? After being stunned, Wu Hongfei began to come to his senses, "You mean, this kind of plane can really be sold to us?" ”

"Yes."

"Not kidding?"

"Of course not."

"This, this...... Good, good, great! Wu Hongfei slapped his thigh, "Cheng Dong, if this thing can really be done, you have made a contribution to the country." ”

"Hehe, it's not all my credit." Cheng Yuan smiled slightly, "Actually, for this kind of crow-type aircraft, people would have been interested in military cooperation with China, otherwise they would not have shipped the imperfect aircraft to China in such a hurry." ”

"Military cooperation?" Hearing this, Wu Hongfei became suspicious, "Why do they want to cooperate with us militarily?" It seems to me that their aircraft is quite perfect. If you've already made it yourself, why do you want to cooperate with us? What can we give them? Do you want our military purchase orders? Want us to buy their planes in bulk? The Raven fighter is actually an export type? ”

"That's right!" Cheng Yuan nodded, "The Crow fighter is an export fighter, and Huaguo is the country with the largest number of fighters at present, there is money in the pocket, and the need for replacement is also very urgent, so Huaguo is the source of customers that Ostein Company or Saab Group wants to develop the most." ”

"You mean that Saab can provide us with not just a few planes, but a large number of them?" Wu Hongfei continued to ask.

"Yes." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "The news I got is that if China is willing to buy and buys a large enough quantity, then Saab can not only provide you with physical aircraft, but also provide technical support." In other words, part of the technology can be licensed to you, and you can produce some of the parts of this aircraft yourself. Hehe, what do you think of this condition? (To be continued.) )
