Chapter 232: Aircraft Engines

The words of the front-line commander can be heard by everyone as bragging, where in this world is there any tank that is not afraid of anti-tank missiles? How can there be a tank that is not afraid of anti-tank mines? It is neither possible nor necessary to thicken the armor of a tank to a size sufficient to protect against anti-tank missiles, so how much power would it take to have an engine?

The reporters did not expose the commander's braggath to their faces, because on the way to this press conference, they had already seen tanks from China that had been destroyed by American Tao missiles, but there were not many of them, and what was surprising was that these tanks had traveled so far that the wear and tear of their tracks was not large, and it did not look like they had run so far in the desert area.

They did not expose the lies of the commanders, except that they witnessed those destroyed Chinese tanks, there is no need to argue here, when the time comes, the photos from the camera will be posted to the media and the Internet, and others will know, there is no need to say more. Another reason why they don't expose lies is to admire the courage of this commander. Once the tanks break down in the desert hundreds of miles wide, they will be immediately discovered by US satellites or drones during the day, and they will be greeted by overwhelming artillery fire, and there will be absolutely no bones left at that time. Even if they quietly reach the city of Khambo, as long as they do not take the city defenses of the city, as long as they do not drive away the defenders here, including the American army, their fate is also death, because they can't even retreat, and the tanks don't have so much fuel for them to escape.

But they won! Not only did it quietly cross the desert for nearly 300 kilometers, but it also took the city of Khambo in one fell swoop, defeating the defenders. The U.S. troops who were mixed in with the "peaceful Middle East" were taken prisoner.

For this alone, this is a commander who deserves the respect of all journalists.

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are worried, and when the government and government forces in Syria rejoiced that the hostile forces had withdrawn from most of the occupied areas and the important city of Qambo was back under government control, the US government was so angry that it almost vomited blood.

This battle did achieve the purpose of attracting the attention of the outside world, but the focus of this shift still fell on the Americans, but people were not concerned about the "splendid virus" but about the deep involvement of the United States in the armed groups of extremists, and people condemned the actions of the United States: "Peace in the Middle East" was an organization that had just been announced, and as a result, the Syrian government forces were able to capture so many American troops when they occupied the city of Khambo. It shows that the US military has been operating on Syrian soil for a long time. Armed strikes have been carried out against the Syrian government long ago, and not just surveys and assessments, as they previously claimed.

The fact that a world power has rashly intervened without declaring war or agreeing to a military strike against another country shows that this great power has no moral bottom line at all. There are no restraints on their own force. It's completely whatever you want. There is not a single principle.

This is still the attitude of the outside world towards the Americans, not to mention the countries that were previously hostile to the United States, many neutral countries have also begun to change their positions because of the "bright sun" virus and covert support for extremist groups. began to distance itself from the United States, and although he did not dare to condemn the United States openly, he no longer wanted the United States to extend an olive branch. And those traditional allies of the United States are also discouraged, and they do not know how to express their stance to the outside world, after all, the United States has not recovered from the old wounds and the new wounds again, and the leaders of these countries must also deal with the reproaches of the voters and the opposition parties.

Even Japan and Australia, which are die-hard supporters of the United States, dare to remain silent at this moment.

What makes senior US government officials frustrated is that the United States really cannot and does not dare to launch a full-scale attack on the Syrian government forces. First of all, because of the loss of the forward base of Khambo, the US military can only take off stealth planes or launch cruise missiles from aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea or the Red Sea, but it is impossible for the richest US to really rely on these two weapons to bomb Syria overwhelmingly, and even if the treasury is empty, it is impossible to bring the morale of the Syrian government army to its knees.

The second is that the Syrian government army has several hundred American troops in their hands, and these people are hidden by the Syrian government army, and they do not know where they are hiding. In the past, when the United States was in full swing, its own cruise missiles or planes killed these people, and it was okay to condemn the Syrian government army for using these captured soldiers as shields and hostages, and then it could expand the scale of air strikes and even directly bomb the Syrian capital. However, now not only is the international community dissatisfied with the United States, but also the domestic people are also very dissatisfied with the government, and there are signs that both the media and the opposition parties are going to pursue the issue of the US government's strong support for extremist armed groups, and they now have to think twice about what they could do whatever they wanted.

Under the current situation, they do not dare to expand the scale of the war at all, do not dare to support it unscrupulously, and do not dare to bomb Syria at all, but can only collect information on the Syrian government army while calming down the anger and accusations at home and abroad.

If these problems are only political problems and will not deal a fatal blow to the United States for the time being, and it is impossible for the United States, a great power, to collapse overnight because of it, then the blow to the United States, especially in the arms business, is tangible and a real loss of interests.

Because these two wars in TongguΓ² Suili have made countries around the world see the shortcomings of US arms and weapons, and let everyone understand that high-priced weapons and equipment may not be able to create high-effect war results.

Many people, consciously or unconsciously, believe that only with US weapons in their hands will they be invincible on the battlefield and will certainly be able to defeat the enemy.

Now they understand that weapons are really not a panacea, it's up to the user to use the weapon. Although Huaguo's weapons are not high-priced, at least not the highest, their weapons are trustworthy, and as long as they are used well, they can achieve great results.

The two battles in the cities of Misoula and Canberra were tantamount to a very successful and huge advertisement for Chinese weapons, and many small countries immediately sent important personnel to China to negotiate the purchase of Chinese weapons as soon as the statement of the Ministry of Defence in Syria was issued. Many countries that are actually purchasing weapons from the United States and Russia have either interrupted the ongoing negotiations or decided not to continue to purchase weapons in the future, and they have turned their attention to China.

After receiving the news from the military industry department, Deng Guohong was overjoyed and called Peng Huading as soon as possible to tell him about the incident.

Peng Huading was not so excited, in his mind, with his participation, the scene of Huaguo weapons being snapped up by everyone would appear sooner or later, and the war in Syria just made this scene earlier.

Feeling that Peng Huading's mood was not as excited as himself, Deng Guohong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you happy?" ”

Peng Huading smiled bitterly: "What's so happy? Didn't you say that I have enough money now and am not short of money to spend? I still care what these weapons are sold for, and no matter how much they sell, I'm just adding some numbers to my account. ”

Deng Guohong smiled awkwardly and said: "It really doesn't matter what you feel personally, but our enterprises, our military industry, and our workers, their incomes will increase a lot." Moreover, don't you see that through the fermentation of these incidents, our country's comprehensive national strength is steadily rising, and the comprehensive national strength of the United States is gradually declining? ”

Peng Huading also smiled, feeling that he seemed to be a little too sentimental, and said, "Yes." I've got to be happy about that. ”

Deng Guohong said: "It's better if you don't say this, you say it as if I am a child." ......, how is the design of the WS-25 engine progressing? ”

Peng Huading said: "It is completely carried out according to the node. Now that the technical drawings on my side have come out, the next step is to process them, how are the experts on your side arranging, and when will they be evaluated? ”

Deng Guohong was full of interest when he saw Peng Huading talking about technical things, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Since your drawings are out, let's start processing." The expert assessment can be carried out simultaneously, no matter what the results of their assessment are, it must not delay your processing, let alone the progress of the project. ”

Peng Huading smiled and asked, "Why do you believe in me so much all of a sudden?" Are you really worried about the results of the experts' assessments? ”

Deng Guohong said with a smile: "This is the result of the discussion of the superior leaders, and we have never disbelieved you." And we are also confident that the experts' assessment will definitely be very different from what you predicted. How can they believe that the numbers you put forward are twenty-two percent greater than the thrust of the American F22 engine F119, reaching 196 kN? Moreover, the number of parts is 43 percent less, and the overall weight is 21 percent less than that of our original engine, so that the thrust-to-weight ratio of our engine has increased to 12.1, which is 10 percent higher than that of the American F119. ”

Peng Huading said confidently: "Just 10 percent higher than the thrust-to-weight ratio of the American engine is remarkable? The Americans' products are not the highest level of human beings, everyone is equal, they are hundreds of years ahead of our technology, and we are a few days above them. If my estimate is correct, we will break ours in less than half a year. Because the number and technology announced to the outside world are actually the number jΓΉ and technology from more than ten years ago, and the real latest technology has not yet been announced to the public. ”

Deng Guohong sighed and said, "We know this. We are a generation of design, a generation of manufacturing, and a generation of announcements, and what is announced is not the latest technology. As he spoke, he said lightly, "But we're catching up very fast now, and as soon as your engine comes out, won't we force them to release the latest and greatest technology?" Peng Huading, when will our engines be used in our fighter jets? ”

(Thank you for the reward of quiet and far-reaching) (To be continued......)
