Chapter 1652: The Brazilians Can't Hold It Anymore (Third Watch, Second Watch)
As the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Ding Dachuan quickly understood Lin Hongfei's thoughts, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "Bingfei's production of Yun 12, the future improvement type, you don't let Gao Wei participate, this is ...... Isn't it a bit unreasonable? ”
"Vice President Gao's political level and professional ability can't keep up, just take advantage of this time to study hard, we still have a lot of work to do in the future." After being mixed up in the officialdom for so long, Lin Hongfei also learned to play officialdom, obviously kicking Gao Wei out, but when it came to Lin Hongfei's mouth, it became for Gao Wei's sake.
"You, you, you......" Ding Dachuan shook his head helplessly, but since Lin Hongfei's envisioned Y-12X is a self-funded project of their AVIC Second Group, Ding Dachuan can't say anything, the Y-12 itself is not of much use in the military, it is better to sell personal favors to Lin Hongfei, as soon as the topic changed, he took advantage of the situation to reveal this matter, "By the way, I heard that you are going to give Pakistan the technology of the AN-28 that you have improved?" ”
"Yes, there is this idea," Lin Hongfei nodded and admitted, it is far from enough to agree to this kind of thing, everything depends on the country's intentions, "but if the country thinks that this is not good, then I haven't mentioned this proposal." ”
"That's not it," Ding Dachuan waved his hand, a light multi-purpose transport aircraft equivalent to the Y-12I, the military significance is far less than the political significance, he is just a little curious about what Lin Hongfei thinks, "For what?" ”
After a pause, Ding Dachuan asked again, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that in your original plan, AN-28 was a very important part?" ”
"It used to be like this, but now it's not Yun-12. The potential of the Y-12 is much greater than that of the AN-28, and since we already have the Y-12, we will soon develop a more advanced Y-12X, and the AN-28 is a piece of chicken ribs, and it is nothing for Pakistan. But the AN-28 is of little significance to us who have the Y-12, and it is of a completely different meaning to Pakistan, which basically has no aviation industry, and ......" Lin Hongfei suddenly smiled slyly, "Aren't the Americans supporting India?" Then we'll add some blockage to the Indians. ”
"You kid......" Ding Dachuan smiled bitterly, "In the future, whoever dares to say that your kid doesn't understand politics, I will personally break his legs!" ”
"So the state agreed?" Lin Hongfei was overjoyed!
Although he also knew that the AN-28, an aircraft with a load of only 1.75 tons, would mean little to the Republic. What's more, the Republic also has a Y-12 with a load of more than 2 tons, but in any case, this is a relatively advanced aircraft, more than 200 countries and regions around the world, how many countries can independently manufacture with a closed cockpit? Don't say AN-28. Even the most "old" transport aircraft of the Republic: the Y-5, if the Republic says it can be sent to Pakistan. Pakistan is just as beautiful as the snot bubbling.
"Don't be complacent, you kid. The state can agree, more in terms of political implications, and in addition...... You're not going to give something to Pakistan so stupidly, are you? ”
"How so? and not stupid, "How can Lin Hongfei not understand the meaning of Ding Dachuan's words?" He smiled knowingly, "We, AVIC No. 2 Group, will strictly abide by the relevant national systems and regulations. Subordination to national interests. ”
"Well, very good, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will not have an opinion on the work of upgrading and improving the Y-12 of the Second Group. Even those who are happy to see it come into play and encourage. Director Ding was very satisfied with Lin Hongfei's statement: Pakistan Railway? Hehe...... After all, the interests of countries are different from the interests of people.

"Lin, your conditions have been agreed by our government," Aldo is here again, not for anything else, because the technology from the second group of AVIC is too important to Embraer, and now Embraer, which is on the verge of collapse, is not only in urgent need of the technical transfusion of the second group of AVIC, but also of the capital transfusion from the second group of the Chinese aviation industry, "There is no problem with the shares and the security company you want." ”
In order to win over Lin Hongfei and AVIC Second Group, this time the Brazilians really fought a big fight.
"Can you set up a security company?" Lin Hongfei's face finally showed a trace of surprise, according to the requirements he made to Aldo, this security company is not an ordinary, only a few dozen people of small security company, but as the company's scale in Brazil continues to expand and expand the scale of the security company, just to invest in Embraer and the establishment of an automobile manufacturing company, it is necessary to set up a security force of 200 people, this armed force not only has automatic rifles, modified armed cars, Lin Hongfei even made even more excessive demands: helicopters are allowed to be equipped.
It's not just a security company, it's a controlled force of arms.
"Yes, His Excellency the President and the Parliament approved the establishment of this security company for your company," Aldo grimaced, "Lin, do you know the truth?" We were under a lot of pressure for this. ”
There must have been a lot of pressure, and there is no doubt about that, at least the Americans will be quite unhappy.
"If that's the case......" Lin Hongfei muttered, "What about leasing 3 toucan attack/trainer planes?" ”
Lin Hongfei's request is exactly what Aldo is most puzzled about, or rather, the most puzzled by the whole of Brazil: how can a country capable of producing "Double 2" jet fighters be interested in the EMB-314 "Brazilian Tucano" light attack/trainer aircraft that it produces?
What puzzled Brazilians even more was that the Chinese were interested in the aircraft, but did not plan to buy or introduce it, but only rented three for a year. This one is weird, what are they going to do?
"Of course there is no problem," although confused, but since it is a lease, it is always necessary to pay rent, and if there is damage or plane crash, the Chinese will also compensate themselves, which is not a bad thing, but after a moment's hesitation, Aldo still asked, "Lin." May I know why you want to rent a 'toucan'? ”
"Oh, it's just one of my assumptions," there is nothing that can't be said to people about this idea, not to mention that it's just one of Lin Hongfei's ideas, "According to my understanding, the EMB-314 'toucano' light attack/trainer aircraft not only has good teaching capabilities, but also has quite good ground attack capabilities, which is very suitable for patrol missions in some non-combat areas......"
"Of course, the Toucan is a really great low-cost patrol aircraft, costing less than $200 an hour to fly. It couldn't be more suitable for patrol missions, and our Brazilian military is using this aircraft to carry out patrol missions against drug traffickers, and it has proven to be a very economical and effective aircraft......"
Hearing Lin Hongfei say that he wanted to use the "Brazilian toucan" to carry out patrol tasks, Mirza was suddenly excited, and chattered endlessly to Lin Hongfei to sell his products. A barrage of words poured out of Mirza's mouth, as if the low-speed light turboprop trainer/attack aircraft, which had only begun its first test flight in 1992 and had only begun trial trials this year, had become the world's finest low-speed, low-intensity combat aircraft.
Speaking from the heart. Embraer's yet-to-date EMB-314 Brazilian Tucano turboprop is a light trainer/attack aircraft with a very good initial design. Not only can it undertake low-intensity combat missions, but it can also carry out long-term combat duty patrol missions in non-intense combat zones, which is not of great significance for combat, but it is really good if it is used for border patrols in the northwest region.
But Mirza's remarks, even the current EMB-314 "Brazilian Tucano" are not an upgraded version of the future: the A-29 "Super Tucano" aircraft developed by Embraer in cooperation with Sierra Nevada Co., Ltd. does not dare to say so. Kill the bold".
"Stop!" Lin Hongfei hurriedly gestured to Mirza to stop, "Let's be clear, as the chairman of one of the two major aviation manufacturing groups in our country, I need to evaluate the actual combat effectiveness of this low-speed combat aircraft on special occasions such as border patrol and anti-terrorism." Three planes and a year was enough time for us to make an accurate assessment...... Now you just have to tell me, Mr. Mirza, when these three planes will be in my hands, and when our pilots will be sent to you for training. ”
"Three months!" Mirza held up three fingers, "At most three months, we can hand over the plane to you, and in a month you can send the pilots who need training to Brazil...... Lin, I've studied your country, your country has a long border, but as long as there are about 20 to 30 toucano planes, you can carry out daily patrols on the main borders, and the cost is not much higher than that of personnel patrols. Believe me, the EMB-314 is not only a great trainer / attack aircraft, but also a very good patrol combat aircraft, you will understand it after you use it. ”
"I hope so." Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded.
Mirza, who thinks that EMB-314 has received a large order, is very Xingdan, but it is a pity that Mr. Mirza has obviously forgotten one point: it is impossible for the Republic to establish a complete logistics support and maintenance system for a maximum of twenty or thirty aircraft, even if the army is a master who does not care about money, it is too uneconomical to do so, and Boss Lin has his own ideas.
In Lin Hongfei's vision, the purpose of introducing the EMB-314 was to test the actual effect of this low-speed armed attack aircraft used for border patrol and anti-terrorism, anti-smuggling, and anti-narcotics tasks.
That's right, it is to improve the first training machine, although no one can deny that the first training sixth is a very good primary training aircraft, but this is only a training aircraft, and it cannot perform attack combat missions.
Although the Beginner 6 is also armed, the pitiful armed power of two 7.62mm machine guns and two 25-kilogram uncontrolled bombs still makes us ignore it, which is simply not enough to deal with a low-intensity battle, and even to deal with the guerrillas.
At the beginning, such a strange model was developed solely to train the pilot's ability to use the cannon...... Well, there is also the accuracy of training bomber bombers to drop bombs, although the bombardiers of the H-6 have never been in contact with bomb dropping on the beginner six.
As a patrol aircraft, the biggest problem of the first teaching six is the lack of power and poor downward vision, but this problem is largely limited by the unique large cross-sectional structure of the star-shaped piston engine, since the prototype of the Yun-5: AN-2 can be developed by replacing the turboprop engine with a larger flight speed and larger load capacity of the AN-3 light multi-purpose transport aircraft, then also to the first six with a higher power turboprop engine and the nose plus a fairing?
The large reduction of the frontal cross-sectional area not only greatly reduces the drag of the aircraft when flying, but also greatly improves the power condition and downward vision! You must know that the power of the star-shaped piston engine used by Chujiao 6 is less than 200 kilowatts, how fast can you expect this cargo to fly with such a small plane? How many weapons and equipment to carry?
After replacing it with a turboprop engine with a power of about 400 kilowatts and a more aerodynamically efficient propeller, how many weapons can the Chujiao 6 carry? I dare not say that after the completion of the necessary partial reinforcement of the body structure and the installation of the weapon control system, it is not a big problem to carry at least one ton of various weapons and ammunition.
In this way, machine guns, cannon pods, rocket launchers, and ordinary uncontrolled bombs can be used, and even if the weapon control system can keep up, guided bombs, anti-tank missiles, and short-range air-to-air combat missiles can be installed, and it is not only no problem at all for border patrol, but even some excess performance.
Mirza, who was still immersed in excitement, where did he know that the big boss of Daolin had begun to plan "stealing teachers"?
————————————————————————
Lin Hongfei has always been a person who does what he thinks, and he immediately instructed Wang Guoliang, "Contact the country, no matter what method they use, go and get me 5 planes first...... Well, 6 Beginner Six. ”
"Beginner Six?!" Wang Guoliang wondered if his ears were hearing well, "What do you want that thing for?" ”
"I want to verify the credibility of converting the Beginner 6 to a low-speed attack/patrol aircraft after retrofitting it with a turboprop engine." As his own secretary, Lin Hongfei naturally couldn't avoid Wang Guoliang. (To be continued......)
