At the beginning of December, Lin Johnson boarded a flight to Tel Aviv, Israel, and Abraham accompanied him. Shifal was invited to visit the technical achievements of Israeli aviation.

Previously, Lin Qiangsheng wanted to cooperate with the Israelis, but he did not show great strength, until he introduced 24 F14 fighters, and the information on negotiations with Grumman was collected by the Mossad, and the Israelis took it seriously.

Inviting Lin Qiangsheng to visit this time is not just to let him take a walk and have a look, Israel also wants to cooperate with Lin Qiangsheng in some military technology, and it is best to reach some deals to provide research and development funds for the overstretched Lion fighter!

Yang Wanli also led the expert group from China to Tel Aviv after several transfers, he had just finished receiving the Grumman delegation, in fact, there was only a manager and an engineer, a total of two people, Grumman's number of visitors was pitiful, it was really a streamlined trip to make the best use of things, and the American style of doing things.

Wang Chengdong, the general manager in charge of Asian affairs, and an engineer from Grumman visited, but Lin Qiangsheng did not come forward, and was completely handed over to Yang Wanli to be responsible for the reception, but the country sent personnel to accompany him, or Ma Chenglin, deputy director of the Military Aircraft Department of the General Assembly Department, and Niu Xintang of China Aviation Technology, these two, they were very welcome to Grumman's visit.

This is a big order related to 600 million US dollars, and it is 24 F14 fighters, and the success or failure of this introduction project is directly related to the future of the two!

The interaction with Grumman shows that the Americans are very arrogant, and it is even more difficult to deal with the British (Spey) and the French (Dolphin Helicopter, Phantom) in the country, and the Americans think more about political factors.

When Yang Wanli was in the United States, he mentioned to Grumman with great expectations that he would buy an overhaul line for F-14 fighter jets, but Pelehaq rejected Dongxing's request. It was made clear that it was impossible for Grumman to hand over the F14 overhaul line to a company linked to China.

He even said that it is quite difficult to obtain even minor repairs, and it may be possible to succeed after difficult government operations!

This time, Wang Chengdong brought engineers to confirm the technical strength of China Eastern Airlines Industry Company and formulate Grumman's export policy.

In general, Grumman's policy also changes according to the strength of the partners. If it is found that the technology of China Eastern Aviation Industry Company can carry out limited repairs to F14 fighters, then Grumman will consider selling a small repair line, after all, Dongxing has certain technical strength, so there is no reason not to do business with the Chinese, and it will be more convenient for them to apply to the government; If it is confirmed that the Chinese do not have the ability to repair F14 fighters, then Grumman may still sell a small repair line in the end, but then I don't know when, maybe the Chinese will be squeezed almost too much, and the small repair line will be late!

Cooperate with the world's top aerospace manufacturing companies. Not only is it the first time in Dongxing, but it is also the first time in China. It was confirmed that Dongxing did have the financial resources and determination to introduce 24 F14 fighters, and the domestic upper echelons were also more shocked, 24 F14s were introduced, and in the end they still had to be handed over to the state, and the advanced fighters exchanged for a huge amount of foreign exchange of 600 million US dollars were handed over to the country, which was also the number one in the Republic!

Ma Chenglin and Niu Xintang, who had accompanied him on a visit to Grumman and other US military equipment manufacturers, began to urgently contact the four parties as soon as they returned to China. At the same time, report this great news to the superiors!

Previously, several second-generation projects raised hundreds of millions of dollars through the shell of Poly to purchase 24 Black Hawk helicopters. Not only was he praised by his superiors, but he also made a big splash in the circle of red children, and since then he has been in the emperor's heart and has been cared for from many aspects!

Some of the red children also want to follow suit, but they don't have the financial resources and appeal. This time, Lin Johnson purchased 24 F14 fighters, but the total funds have reached 600 million US dollars. The scale is larger, the influence is wider, and at the same time, it has also received continuous attention and attention from the central authorities!

After Ma Chenglin and Niu Xintang returned to the capital, they were fortunate to participate in the introduction project of Dongxing. I didn't want to find such an opportunity before, but I didn't expect this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing to fall on my head!

Naturally, they have to firmly seize this rare opportunity, and if this project is successful, then the credit can be completely converted into motivation to move up the position, so these two people are the most active and want this project to succeed now!

Under the watchful eyes of the two senior executives of the aviation equipment department, the domestic research institutes that had previously reached a cooperation intention with China Eastern Airlines Industry Company did not dare to slack off, and they accelerated the manufacturing speed of the equipment, so that the industrial equipment ordered by China Eastern Aviation Industry Company was sent to Bincheng one after another and arrived at the workshop of China Eastern Airlines, and these research units also sent technicians and workers to be responsible for installation, on-site teaching and guidance of the new people recruited by Dongxing.

After several months of preparation, the previous empty workshops of the China Eastern Aviation Engineering have been added to the relatively complete aircraft parts manufacturing equipment, and when the two Grumman representatives visited, the aircraft factory had already issued a scale, what they saw was a rather delicate and small fighter production line, and the technical level does not seem to be backward, the level of modernization is quite high, obviously has reached the level of the late sixties and early seventies in the United States, although the specific manufacturing process has not been seen, But in this way, it seems that Dongxing's aviation technical strength is not low!

If this is the case, then there is no need for Grumman not to sell minor repair lines, and when the F14 fighter is delivered, Dongxing has figured out a certain maintenance technology by itself, and Grumman has no chance to sell it if he wants to!

Wang Chengdong wrote in the investigation report that there is no need to keep the minor repair line of the F14 fighter secret from the Chinese, after the delivery of the fighter, with the in-depth contact they will soon master some maintenance technology, Grumman should seize the opportunity to sell the minor repair line to the Chinese before they have the maintenance capability of the F14, seize the opportunity!

After receiving the report, Grumman's Pelehaq gathered the company's top management, and after some discussion, they finally decided to lobby further with the U.S. government to allow Grumman to transfer a minor repair line of F14 fighter jets to China.

Since Dongxing already has a certain amount of technical strength, it is necessary to intervene before it is completely owned, so that Grumman can also grasp the direction better, at least this is what Pelehaq and other high-level leaders think.

Dongxing cooperates with such a world-class aviation manufacturer, Lin Qiangsheng and Yang Wanli both know that Dongxing must come up with 200% technical and organizational level in order to become an equal member of the cooperation rather than a young man!

They also know that it will be difficult to achieve this, but they are trying to find ways to make their partners value them, as is Grumman, and so is Atlas in South Africa!

This time, the President of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Yitzhak Brown. At the invitation of Shifal, Lin Qiangsheng personally went to IAI to visit and exchange, and he did not act secretly, but let the South African bodyguard drive him to the airport and get on the plane.

This also means forcing Atlas Company, he wants to make South Africans understand that if they want to cooperate, they must behave well, otherwise Lin Johnson will find another family!

At the same time, at the headquarters of Atlas Corporation in South Africa, President Daniel had learned that Lin Johnson had left Johannesburg, South Africa, and flew to Tel Aviv, Israel.

He hurried to the laboratory, met Xue Boyang, the technical director of the Chinese side, and asked loudly: "Xue, why did Mr. Lin leave South Africa?" What did he go to Israel for? ”

After listening to the translation, Xue Boyang shook his head and said: "Mr. Daniel, I don't know what Mr. Lin is doing in Israel, but he asked me to convey to you that President Shifar of Israel Aviation Industries personally invited him to visit IAI and do some technical exchanges!" ”

Daniel shook his head in annoyance, stomped his feet vigorously, he stared at his eyes and couldn't help but scold, and after turning around like a sleepy beast a few times, he only asked Xue Boyang anxiously: "You, can you contact Lin?" I'm going to talk to him now, now, right away! ”

Xue Boyang shook his head, he glanced at his watch and said to Daniel: "I'm afraid I can't contact him now, you can contact his secretary in the United States, Mr. Lin told me that his secretary is online 24 hours a day!" ”

"Oh, shit! I know, I know! Daniel cursed in an annoyed whisper, and hurriedly turned around and ran back the way he came.

At the same time, he shouted in his heart, don't let the cunning Israelis kidnap Lin Qiangsheng and invest in their fighter program, then Atlas will not have any competitiveness! (To be continued.) )
