Chapter 498: The Air Force is about to change fighters
Since Smith and they joined them, everything they have done can be said to be wholeheartedly, and Xu Ziling doesn't care what they think of them, but he doesn't want them to feel that they belong to outsiders, and it is necessary to let them know some things appropriately.
Let them bring their families to Star City to play, first, they can carry out family diplomacy, and secondly, they can go to the military factory to have fun, which will help them to a certain extent in the arms business they represent, and also make them feel that their own position will not have any bad ideas.
For Smith, this is also a good thing, listening to Xu Ziling, he rushed back to his home in the capital that day, saying that he would go back and bring his wife and children over early.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Smith returned from Netan, during which Xu Ziling not only completed his work every day, but also went to the capital once - General Fan Yi of the general assembly summoned him!
"Now the situation in both the South China Sea and the East China Sea is uneasy, so our fighters must be replaced, because the J-20 cannot be put into service for the time being, so there were plans to purchase the Russian Su-35, but after your 'Flying Eagle' came out, we put this issue down." Seeing Fan Yi at the final assembly, Fan Yi said to Xu Ziling, "The 'Flying Eagle' prototype has been off the assembly line for half a year since it came off the assembly line last year, and it must be at your speed that it will soon enter the service stage, so I hope you can speed up the progress a little faster." ”
"So, the Air Force is ready to choose the 'Flying Eagle' as an alternative?" Receiving such news, Xu Ziling was very surprised, he made these out and used them to equip the troops, and when he decided on it, of course he was very excited.
Fan Yi saw Xu Ziling's excited appearance, smiled, and then said seriously: "I can't say sure." We have the relevant test reports of the "Flying Eagle", and the people who flew the test flight at the beginning are also from the country, but these do not mean that the "Flying Eagle" is better than the Su-35. Speaking of this, he seemed to point out again, "Some things are not the best among similar products, and people will definitely choose the best one." ”
Get! Although he didn't say this thoroughly, Xu Ziling immediately understood the meaning. There have always been some people in China who worship foreign countries, and presumably choose the "Flying Eagle" as the service model of the Air Force, and there are different voices on it.
According to the combat performance and technology, the "Flying Eagle" is definitely a fifth-generation aircraft, and even better than the F-22 and F-35 of the Mi and the Russian T90, from the perspective of normal choice, Xu Ziling does not understand what it has to compare with the Su-35, but this country is like this, and he is not easy to say.
"What do we need to do?" He immediately asked Fan Yi.
To be honest, although he is the minister of the general assembly, but in such a major matter, he does not have too much right to decide, for some things, some people, he is not used to it, but the other party is in a high position, he can only put him in his heart, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "Flying Eagle" is better than the Su-35, but people are fluttering: it is best that it has not been verified. just blocked other people's mouths, so if he wanted to make "Flying Eagle" an equipment sequence, he had to let Xu Ziling do something.
"I remember that your prototype has not yet been tested for take-off and landing on an aircraft carrier?" ????
Xu Ziling saw that Fan Yi did not answer his question, but said something else, and did not react to what this meant for a while.
I was about to ask, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: Why did you mention aircraft carriers? Don't......
Fan Yi sat behind the desk, looking at Xu Ziling's thoughtful appearance, he understood that he realized what he meant, but he was afraid that he would not think through enough, so he said unhurriedly: "I think your drone is very good!" ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Ziling immediately confirmed that the meaning of Fan Yi's words was exactly what he thought, "There has been chaos over there recently? If you want to use this thing, can I choose it? ”
"No problem, you communicate yourself, and then I'll have someone say hello."
"Okay, then I'll do it!"
The two talked for a while, and when Xu Ziling came out of the final assembly, he immediately returned to Star City. After making a few phone calls, a phone call summoned Xiao Bird, who was far away at the Sword Base, and Lin Jianbin of the 81st Division.
After the two came, they stayed in Xu Ziling's office all morning, and they didn't know what the three of them said, and that night, Xiaoniao and Lin Jianbin drove the "Flying Eagle" out of the military factory, and their whereabouts were unknown.
"Why did you remember to let Jianbin go?" As they left, Yang Kaiming asked Xu Ziling.
"He told me a long time ago that he wanted to go to a real combat team like Sword." Xu Ziling replied, "Don't look at his usual hip-hop and laughter, he is also a person who is unwilling to be calm, besides, I called Master Lin first, and I will let him go after he agrees, otherwise I would be so bold." ”
At that time, General Fan Yi mentioned aircraft carriers and drones, and Xu Ziling determined that he wanted the "Flying Eagle" to "perform". This is indeed a good way, some people say that the data of the "Flying Eagle" has not been verified, so use the actual combat to verify it, and the actual combat place, at this time, of course, is the most suitable for the East China Sea.
Although there is no report on newspapers and television, Xu Ziling knows that this place, the friction has not stopped, not to mention that he used drones to attack two F-15 before, and it was after that that he also got the news that the fighter plane of a certain coastal air force was in the airspace of the East China Sea in China, and encountered a fighter plane that took off from the air base of the island country in the United States. But there are also injuries, but such incidents have not been reported in any media.
Therefore, to test whether the "Flying Eagle" is the same as the performance on the test data, it is best to put it on the aircraft carrier.
On the flight back to Star City, Xu Ziling considered the candidate for the pilot, because now there are only prototypes, and there are not many people who can fly the "Flying Eagle", and it is obviously too much time to train a pilot who is proficient in operation and put into actual combat, so he thought about whether to let the combination of Xiaoniao and Lin Jianbin go.
Xiao Bird is the trump card of many actual battles, and is also the test pilot of the "Flying Eagle", which is naturally the most suitable, and although Lin Jianbin has not experienced actual combat, but in terms of technique, there is absolutely no problem, and he is also one of the few people who are familiar with the "Flying Eagle" fighter, and the most important thing is that Xiao Bird has been an exchange pilot and has spent a period of time in the 81st Division, and the two have had the experience of cooperating with the flight.
So after returning to Star City, he called Zhu Gang and Master Lin for communication as soon as possible, and only then did the two of them arrive.
And the whole thing, he didn't hide it from Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng beside him, but they only found out when Xiaoniao and them came over, the time was very tight, they arrived in the morning and left in the evening, and they didn't understand why Xu Ziling would let Lin Jianbin pass, so Yang Kaiming asked.
"It's urgent." Li Cheng sighed, Xu Ziling didn't say anything specific at this time, and the two of them only heard some things on the side, and they didn't know the specific reason for the matter, "But the two are indeed a good combination, and it's no problem to train a little." ”
"Hmm." Xu Ziling nodded and replied, "Captain Zhang's side will arrange training tasks for them." ”
It was dark, and the time to get off work had already passed, and I was not in a hurry to go back at this time, seeing that the night was good outside, the three of them simply chatted on a grass at the airport.
"Communicate with Captain Zhang and make arrangements, so I haven't told you about going to the capital this time in the past two days." For some things in life, Xu Ziling can't always maintain a happy mood, and his words are a little low, "This time the meeting was held above, the Air Force is ready to replace the new fighters, some people mean to use the 'Flying Eagle', but some people don't know what to think about it, they think that the Su-35 is better, and the meaning of the final assembly is also to use the 'Flying Eagle', but some people use the words that all the data of the 'Flying Eagle' have not been verified, so General Fan Yi hopes that the 'Flying Eagle' will make an appearance." ”
"Fuck TM's bullshit." I didn't expect it to be such a "funny" thing, Li Cheng was angry when he heard it, and he opened his mouth and scolded, "'Flying Eagle' can't be exported, I won't say anything about it, good things do need to be used by ourselves, but TM's domestic sales are not good, so why do we spend so much effort to get it out?" Let's get a few of us to play? What a bunch of pig heads......"
"Alright, alright! What are you yelling about? Seeing that he scolded without scruples, Yang Kaiming hurriedly stopped him from saying anything ugly, he was also angry about such a thing, but Zhilu Dao must be useless just by scolding, for some problems in this country, even if he is a "red third generation", he can't see it, but if he is unhappy, he can't change these things, so he can only endure it, "What's the use of being happy in your mouth, being careful will make trouble for yourself." After admonishing Li Cheng, he said to Xu Ziling again: "Then the upper side is ready to adopt a tough attitude towards the East China Sea?" ”
"Not yet." Xu Ziling first smiled at Li Cheng, who was indignant there, before answering Yang Kaiming's question, "It's very lively over there now, you beat me, I beat you There are many small frictions, and there are no reporters staring at the sea and the sky, so how do they fight?" As long as it is not a large-scale attack, whoever wins the battle will celebrate the merits internally, and whoever loses the battle will consider himself unlucky. It's just that I hope that the little birds can meet the F-22 or F-35 of the Chinese people this time, and give our 'Flying Eagle' a good name. ”
