The call came from Daniel, president of Atlas Aircraft, and Mr. Lin accepted the invitation to visit Atlas' aircraft factory.

The South Africans wanted to show their sincerity and hoped that Lin Qiangsheng could lower his chips, and Daniel also expressed this to him, and Lin Qiangsheng was noncommittal.

He was accompanied by people from Armsco and Deputy Director of the South African Defence Intelligence Agency, Horton, and Lin Qiangsheng had also learned about South Africa's defense industry in advance, especially this Armsco company, which is the parent company of Atlas Aircraft Company and the largest state-owned military enterprise in South Africa.

In 1968, South Africa introduced the Armaments Development Act, which created a dedicated weapons production unit, the Armaments Development and Production Corporation, also known as Amsco, which was mainly responsible for the management of South Africa's military industry, and it also took over the research and development facilities that were formerly part of the South African Defence Research Institute.

Through the efforts of Amsco, South Africa has achieved self-sufficiency in military vehicles, sighting equipment, ammunition and other armaments in a very short period of time. Its rise also happened precisely in the seventies and eighties when South Africa was subject to United Nations sanctions and border conflicts, during which South Africa's defense budget continued to grow, and huge R&D funds were invested, which also promoted the development of South Africa's military technology!

In general, Amsco is a military equipment manufacturing group integrating coordinated management and R&D and manufacturing, with more than 20 industrial subsidiaries and subsidiaries under its jurisdiction. Private technology and equipment have established a relatively complete military industrial system, which can be called the aircraft carrier of South Africa's defense industry!

Lin Qiangsheng also attached great importance to this company, and communicated with the people sent by the other party, from which he learned that the technology he asked for was beyond the acceptability of South Africans, and the deputy general manager of Monaviv from Amsco Company tactfully told Lin Qiangsheng that they were very embarrassed and hoped that Lin Qiangsheng would lower his requirements.

At the same time, Monaviv also asked Lin Qiangsheng to inquire about his origin. An inexplicable person suddenly came to South Africa to ask for a change in their military technology, no matter how you say it, it is a bit unreliable, and the South Africans also have to investigate clearly.

In addition, what Lin Qiangsheng asked for was the essence of South Africa's military technology development in recent years, such as South Africa's elephant tank, Great Lynx wheeled armored vehicles, V3B and V3C air-to-air missiles, and precision-guided air-to-ground weapons.

These are the results of South Africa's hard work, and the battlefield performance is very eye-catching so far. It embodies the advanced nature of South Africa's military technology!

South Africans are not very willing to exchange these housekeeping skills, and they are even worried that after the young man in front of them who does not know the roots, after obtaining these technologies, he will sell them to the hostile countries of South Africa or even the Soviet Union, then this kind of blow will be too great, and the enemy will master the technical details and Achilles' heel of South African weapons!

The two sides then discussed, and Daniel and Monaviv told Lin Qiangsheng that South Africa has a variety of Soviet-made weapons in its possession, such as the Soviet-made SA-8 surface-to-air missile system, the SA-16 "Stingersky" portable surface-to-air missile, and the AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher, which can be used to exchange technology with Lin Qiangsheng, and these weapons have been widely equipped with third world countries. Egypt, Iraq, Iran, and Cuba have all purchased weapons from the Soviets, which can be said to be nothing new, and Lin Qiangsheng has no problem if he wants these military equipment, as long as he exchanges the technical information they need!

But Daniel also told Lin Qiangsheng that the number of Soviet-made advanced weapons in South Africa's hands is not large, and the SA-8 surface-to-air missile system can only be traded to Lin Qiangsheng in one set; 16 SA-10 Stinger MANPADS can be traded; The AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher can give him 20 sets, as well as the shells with which these weapons are equipped.

Because of the limited value of these weapons, the South Africans intend to compensate in kind with gold and diamonds. Buy the full set of aero engine technology they have mastered!

Lin was slightly disappointed when he heard that South Africans were reluctant to sell the advanced weapons that he had developed and mass-produced, but he was immediately filled with great joy.

The aero-engine technology he has. Even if all of them are added up, the original funds for developing them were not 2 billion yuan.

The Soviet-made SA-8 air defense missile system, which South Africans can sell, is a land-based mobile short-range low-altitude all-weather surface-to-air missile weapon system developed by the Soviet Union, which can intercept low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude aircraft. It caused a sensation when it was first read on Red Square in 1975, as it was the first automated anti-aircraft missile system in the Soviet Union.

On board the SA-8 amphibious launch vehicle, in addition to four Gecko surface-to-air missiles, there is a surround-view radar, a target tracking radar and two fire control radars. Optoelectronic equipment is also installed on the vehicle, which can be used against targets by electronic countermeasures when the on-board radar is interfered with. SA-8 was exported to Syria, Algeria, Jordan and Iraq, and was widely used in the Egyptian-Israeli conflict and the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s.

In the seventies, the country organized the development of such an anti-aircraft missile system. However, in the 80s, as the national economy completely turned to economic construction, many military projects fell one after another, and due to the tremendous pressure of the S-300 surface-to-air missile imitation project, the research and development work of the relevant domestic units has stopped and entered a silent stage.

Lin Qiangsheng knew that in the late nineties, China would restart research on the SA series of air defense missile systems, and he did not plan to ship it back to China now as a technical reserve. Slowly researching, slowly improving, and constantly modernizing, he believes that sooner or later it will become a fist product in his hands.

And the Stinger Sky portable surface-to-air missile is produced by the Soviets in copycat technology of the American Stinger portable anti-aircraft missile, and the addition of "Sky" means that this is the Stinger of the Soviets!

South Africans don't know yet that Lin Qiangsheng has targeted these families in their hands. Africa is regarded by him as an important base and protective umbrella, and if he wants to continue to mix in Chinese mainland in the future, he must lay a solid foundation in Africa. In the future, all Americans and Europeans will be useless, only the black Africans will have a bigger face!

Lin Qiangsheng visited the production workshop of Atlas Aircraft Company, South Africans have a fairly good production environment and technical equipment, and the production technology here is also quite modern, which shows the secret walk of South Africans. Private activities are fruitful, and many countries in Europe and the United States have also turned a blind eye to them, otherwise South Africa would have been blocked like China for decades behind the West, compared with South Africa, China is like being locked in technological innovation and intellectual progress, of course, this is not the credit of the West itself, they do not have this ability.

There are only four or five Mirage III fighters and Cheetah fighters in the huge modern workshop, and Lin Qiangsheng stands next to a Cheetah fighter and carefully observes its details, the rough and sharp and long radome seems to look like a wilted and decadent old vulture.

He shook his head slightly, smacked his lips and said to President Daniel: "No matter how much this second-generation fighter is improved, it will not be able to meet the needs of future air combat, and it is estimated that it will be eliminated in four or five years!" ”

Daniel nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "What you said is very correct, and we also recognize this, but it is very difficult for a country like South Africa to develop a third-generation fighter on its own, and we still have a lot of things missing!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the Cheetah fighter and said: "At least you still have the technology to steal, and with the help of the Israelis, this plane is very similar to Israel's Lion Cub fighter!" ”

Daniel and Horton exchanged a few glances with Monaviv, and they were very confused by how much the young man in front of them knew so much about the development of South African military weapons!

South Africans had previously speculated that Lin Johnson might be Taiwan. Perhaps the intelligence agents could be arms proxies from Singapore or South Korea, but these countries clearly do not have the capability to develop medium-thrust aeronautics. The turbofan engine is not a simple factory that can be done, it is a system engineering, and the aero engine is known as the flower of industry, which is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the industrial industry chain! Not to mention making it in ordinary countries, it is impossible to even imitate it, and South Africa also has it!

Just because none of these countries have such strength, Lin Qiangsheng is definitely not Japanese, and the South Africans can't investigate his origin, so they have reservations about him. When Lin Qiangsheng was analyzing them, the South Africans were also studying him!

But they also hope to get some technology from Lin Qiangsheng's hands, and they also believe that they can get some receipts this time, otherwise the person in front of them will not appear in South Africa, and they will not invite him to this factory, Daniel and others are working hard to complete this transaction.
