Exactly the same as the history before Lin Hongfei's life archive, at 14:27:59.5 on May 12, a strong vibration was generated from the underground of Wen&Chuan County.

In an instant, Huaxia shook!

An hour later, after receiving a report that they had flown over the disaster area to initially investigate the situation, the five Z-13 heavy helicopters deployed in the Rongcheng Military Region and the three Z-13 heavy helicopters that were transferred to the Shaanxi and Gansu regions as needed immediately took off and carried several large construction machinery straight to the disaster area in a hoisting manner!

After receiving the order from the central authorities, the corresponding military region quickly activated the corresponding emergency plan, and the troops were urgently assembled, and at the same time, the relief materials that had been deployed in several resettlement sites were quickly loaded into trucks and prepared to go to the disaster area.

At this moment, the whole world was attracted by the great earthquake that occurred in the republic, and all kinds of sympathy, worry, anxiety and even ...... The gloating gaze is collectively on this ancient nation: this year, but in 2008, can the Chinese solve their troubles?

————————————————————————

"Hongfei, the chief asked me to think that you would convey his gratitude, if it weren't for your timely reminder, more people would have died in this earthquake." Dongfang Zheng's voice was full of exhaustion.

As a heavyweight leader who came to the front line to command the earthquake relief, Dongfang is deeply aware of how much Lin Hongfei's suggestions have reduced the losses to the country and the people in the disaster area, although the strong earthquake still brought huge losses to the disaster area, but if it were not for Lin Hongfei's reminder, the country made corresponding preparations in advance to minimize the loss, and the loss of personnel and property materials did not know how many times the loss of people and property and materials would have expanded!

"Dad, don't talk about it." Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly, Lin Hongfei, who was also fighting on the front line of earthquake relief with some employees of AVIC Second Group during this time, also had a thick exhaustion in his voice, "I'd rather I didn't guess ...... right."

Dongfang Zheng was silent, and after being silent for a long time, he patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder heavily and didn't say anything.

After seeing the huge losses caused by this earthquake, he fully understood Lin Hongfei's thoughts, and even he thought so, don't look at the huge amount of earthquake relief materials that the country used to organize a large number of earthquake relief materials before the earthquake, and the losses were huge. But if he had a choice, he would rather this kind of thing didn't happen at all, it was too tragic.

If it weren't for Lin Hongfei's timely reminder, if it weren't for the 8 Z-13 heavy helicopters urgently delivered by AVIC Second Group that played a huge role in the earthquake relief activities, and sent large construction machinery to the front line of earthquake relief at the first time of the disaster relief activities. The casualties are even more severe.

"Anyway, it's gone for the time being. This earthquake. Let the leaders fully understand the role of helicopters, especially heavy helicopters, and prepare for them when they go back. After a long silence, Dongfang Zheng finally spoke.

"Well, I got it." Lin Hongfei nodded vigorously.

This earthquake has taught a tragic lesson to many leaders who have been dismissive of helicopters before, who think that helicopters are not important, and who are equipped with helicopters only because the army aviation units and naval aviation units of other countries are also equipped with helicopters. On some special occasions, helicopters, especially heavy helicopters with huge payloads, can make such a big difference!

When some media questioned why a country as big as ours had only 8 straight planes-13, although they were prevaricated with reasons, there was an indisputable fact that compared to such a large country and such a huge army as a republic. Just 8 straight-13 is really not enough to do anything.

As a person who insisted on the development of heavy helicopters at the beginning, Lin Hongfei received a rich reward at this moment: the army aviation units, naval aviation units, and some special divisions of the air force equipped with helicopters under the major military regions have issued orders for more than 400 Z-13 and Z-13Y planes to the AVIC Second Group in a short period of time, nearly 100 more than the 300 or so planes Lin Hongfei expected!

In addition, the orders for Z-6 and Z-9 and Z-9Y have also increased accordingly, and the earthquake has made the country fully aware of the huge role of helicopters in combat and disaster relief.

At this moment, the earthquake relief activities have passed the most difficult stage in the early stage, although the mood is still heavy, but compared with the early stage, it is still much better, Lin Hongfei also has the heart to care about other things, "This time our Zhi-13 and Yun-20 appearances, scared many countries a big surprise, right?" ”

"But no, many countries have already begun to ask the Republic about the procurement of Z-13 and Y-20?" Speaking of this, Dongfang Zheng couldn't help but show a smile in his heart, the performance of the Z-13 and Y-20 in this earthquake relief can be called amazing, such a long time of high-intensity use, the two aircraft did not drop the chain, which not only made the chiefs happy, but also attracted the attention of countless international people: actual combat is the best stage to test the performance of weapons, up to 2 months of high-intensity use, enough to prove the excellence of Z-13 and Y-20.

"What does that mean?" Lin Hongfei hurriedly asked.

If the state can allow the Y-20 and Z-13 to be sold to foreign countries, the second AVIC Group will make a lot of money, and there are only three helicopters with a load of more than 10 tons in production in the world: the Russian Mi-26, the American CH-53 series, and the latest recruit Z-20.

Oh, the latest improved CH-47F in the plan of the American CH-47 "Chinook" barely crossed the threshold of 10 tons, but the maximum lifting capacity of 10.7 tons and the stinginess of the Americans and the style of holding up the big knife are absolutely not negotiable.

Among these four helicopters, the price of the CH-47 is 22 million US dollars, the price of the CH-53E is 33 million US dollars, and even the price of the cheapest Mi-26 is as high as 18 million US dollars, but the price of the Zhi-13, which has a load of 13 tons and is not even lower than the CH-53E "super breeder & horse", is only 15 million US dollars, and the market competitiveness is naturally clear at a glance.

Different from the original historical time and space, the original republic's foreign arms sales only focused on arms sales, but did not pay much attention to after-sales service, for a military equipment, the initial procurement is only the smallest expenditure, and then the use of personnel training, equipment maintenance is the bulk of the expenditure, and good after-sales service is also easy to develop this customer into their own long-term customers.

Since entering 2000, the second group of AVIC has repeatedly reached new highs in foreign arms sales, and the total amount of foreign arms sales last year reached a record of 500 million US dollars.

"Half and half," Dongfang Zheng certainly knew what Lin Hongfei meant, and this time he came to Lin Hongfei with the intention of rewarding him, "Half of the equipment produced in the future can be used for export, which can be regarded as a reward from the state, of course, all exports need to be approved by the state." ”

"Great!" Lin Hongfei was suddenly overjoyed.

"There is one more thing, the production of Y-20 is also going to start preparations, Y-20 in the earthquake relief performance so that the leadership is very satisfied, the expert group in the assessment of Y-20, also believes that the current Y-20 has the conditions for small batch production, the rest is to find problems in the actual use process, improve the problem, this batch of Y-12 procurement quantity of 8, after a few days the corresponding contract and order will be sent to your unit."

"Dad, thank you." Lin Hongfei clenched his fists hard.

Although his father-in-law didn't say anything, but he will never doubt whether Dongfang is helping himself to speak, without Dongfang is helping himself to speak, although the order of 8 Yun-20 will definitely come down, but it will definitely not be so fast, although the unit cost of Yun-20 is not high, but it is an excellent start, according to the needs of the Republic of China to build a strong army in the new era, in the next 20 years, the demand for Yun-20 is conservative and more than 80, if the national defense strategy is further revised after 10 years, That's at least double that number, and that's a huge cake.

"You're welcome, this is also the face of your own hard work, without your original insistence, even if there is Yun-20, it will definitely not equip the troops so quickly, speaking of which, the leaders of the troops are most grateful to you." As soon as he talked about this, Dongfang Zheng was very proud.

Among those big families in the capital, there are many marriages, but whose son-in-law has his own son-in-law so upscale?

"By the way, there is another matter," Speaking of this, Dongfang Zheng suddenly remembered one thing, "The Pakistani side is ready to purchase three Z-13Y early warning aircraft, and the leaders have agreed, and the Pakistani side will come over in the next few days." ”

"This thing can be sold too?" Lin Hongfei's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"What is this," Dongfang was waving his hand, very "dismissive" at Lin Hongfei's surprise, "Pakistan even proposed to purchase our 081-class amphibious assault ship." ”

"We agreed?" Lin Hongfei's eyes widened, and he was almost choked by his father-in-law's words.

"Hmm...... Under consideration. (To be continued......)
