Chapter 1817: The whole world is shocked
As soon as the H-8 strategic bomber, which resembles the Russian Tu-160 "White Swan" strategic bomber, appeared, it caused a landslide and tsunami-like shock around the world!
From the end of World War II to today, there are only two countries in the world that can afford to play strategic bombers: the United States, and Russia, the successor of the former Soviet Union, in addition to these two superpowers, even the other three permanent members of the United Nations cannot afford to play this thing, not only because this thing is expensive to build, it is even more expensive to use, and more importantly, the high technical content of it, It's not something that ordinary countries can play at all.
But now, Chinese strategic bombers have appeared, from the H-6 medium-range bomber, the H-7 large bomber to the current H-8 long-range strategic bomber, the Chinese have achieved a perfect layout in the bomber system!
The first to be crazy was naturally the Americans, who on the one hand sourly stated in the newspapers that under the conditions of modern high-tech warfare, strategic bombers no longer have the meaning of existing, on the other hand, the US president, Congress, Secretary of State and others launched a question to Ukraine overnight: Why did you violate the agreement signed at the beginning and give strategic bomber technology to the Chinese?
It is not only the United States that has launched inquiries to Ukraine, when the American phone call reached Ukraine, the Russian phone had already ringed in the ears of the Ukrainian president for half an hour: Tu-160 strategic bomber, Russia's sharp weapon for the country, even Russia itself does not have many treasures. It was sold to the republic by the damned Ukrainians...... At first the Tu-22M3 "Backfire" large bomber, then the Varyag aircraft carrier, and now the Tu-160 strategic bomber, what do you Ukraine plan to sell to the Chinese next?
For a time, the President of Ukraine really realized what it means to be "Alexander"!
The international concern about the republic's vigorous development of armaments is surprising that several of the republic's close neighbors have not had good relations: Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and other countries that have always had considerable contradictions with the republic, on the contrary, are the quietest, although they have also made some so-called "condemnation, worry, and destruction of regional balance" in the media. But these words sound more like routine.
This is understandable, in the past thousand years, these regions have been influenced by traditional Chinese culture, and even more than 100 years ago, these countries still need to pay tribute to the "Central Celestial Empire" every year as vassal states. When the strength of the republic was insufficient, these former vassal states of the Chinese nation might still dare to bark their teeth at their former suzerain, but when the strength of their former suzerains was restored. The factor of reverence for the Central Celestial Empire engraved in their bones will be reawakened, and at this time, they may be trembling with fear in their presidential palace. How dare you seriously jump out and point fingers at the republic?
But at home. The situation is completely different, the other equipment is fine, the appearance of the H-8 strategic bomber has made all the Chinese people collectively fall into ecstasy!
Again, strategic bombers, something that only the top powers can afford to play. Now, we finally have this treasure!
Although this is copied from the Russian Tu-160, it doesn't matter, whether it is imitated or developed by us, it is always produced by us. That's enough! With this treasure of the town, see which ones dare to bounce around!
Pity. As the development unit of the H-8, Lin Hongfei and the Second Group of AVIC are far less optimistic than ordinary Chinese, and in the face of the inquiry of General Changqing, the commander of the Air Force, Lin Hongfei said with a wry smile, "General, the current H-8 only has basic flight capabilities, and the program of the weapon fire control system has not yet been written......
"I don't want to hear this, so you can tell me, when will this thing be able to form combat effectiveness?" General Changqing waved his hand, and he had the hooligan style of a bandit.
As the commander of the Air Force, General Chang Qing is the senior military general who is most concerned about the H-8 bomber project, and even the admirals and senior leaders of the Ministry of Defense do not care about him, for no other reason: the navy and naval aviation units cannot use the H-8 bomber, they have the H-7 is enough, and the army certainly can't use this thing.
An air force that is not equipped with strategic bombers and an air force that can be equipped with strategic bombers are obviously two completely different air forces, and the air force has invested great enthusiasm in the development of the H-8 bomber, and the efforts of the air force have been indispensable to the fact that the H-8 bomber was able to make its appearance in time for the military parade marking the 60 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In the face of General Changqing's arrogance, Lin Hongfei could only smile bitterly, "If it is tested and used while equipping the troops, it is conservatively estimated...... Five years, five years later, the H-8 should have combat capability, but whether it can give full play to the H-8 capability depends on your ......."
"You don't have to worry about this!" General Chang Qing waved his hand, "Okay! 5 years is 5 years! ”
The leader of the wild bear in the north drove the plane and the strategic bomber around the sky at every turn, which made General Changqing envious, and when we could also drive our own strategic bomber to the door of the Americans' house for a circle...... He obviously forgot that every week, our H-7 bombers had to go around the vicinity of the US military base in Guam.
"Let's come on," Lin Hongfei nodded with a smile, "but we also have something we want to ask General Chang for your help." ”
"Mr. Lin, you say." Evergreen and heroic mess.
"The Pakistani side has already expressed to us its intention to purchase an oceanic fleet with 081-class amphibious assault ships as the core......"
"That's easy to say!" Without waiting for Lin Hongfei to finish speaking, General Chang Qing waved his hand, "When it's time for me to speak, I will definitely not be polite." ”
"Then thank you, General." With General Changqing's assurance, Lin Hongfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After two years of continuous tracking and observation, and in view of India's increasingly strong maritime combat strength, India's first domestically produced aircraft carrier "Vikrant" aircraft carrier on February 28 this year has begun to lay the keel, and the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier, which is modified on the basis of the Russian retired aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, seems to be able to be delivered to the Indian Navy next year, when the Indian Navy will become a regional super navy with three aircraft carriers, which has a crushing advantage over Pakistan. The Pakistani side finally couldn't sit still.
Compared with India, Pakistan, which has a weaker industrial strength, has put forward its own aircraft carrier fleet development plan according to its own national conditions: to purchase a large multi-functional amphibious assault ship of the 081 class from the Republic, carrying 20 to 24 J-15 heavy carrier-based fighters, 6 Z-9Y high-speed helicopters and a total of 8 Z-13Y heavy high-speed helicopters for different purposes.
In terms of aircraft carrier protection, two 052C regional air defense missile destroyers, four Type 054A missile frigates, and two "Song" class diesel-electric conventionally powered submarines form a maritime aircraft carrier formation with the 081 class as the core. Although this combination is lacking in anti-submarine aspects, it must be admitted that this weapon configuration scheme is absolutely no problem against the Indian side.
The price of such a package solution is certainly not cheap, even if the equipment made in the Republic has always been known for its high quality and low price, and Pakistan is a sharp weapon of the Republic to contain India, this price cannot be cheaper...... In fact, these things are extremely money-burning things, and another factor that the Republic has not yet agreed to is because the Republic is not even sure whether Pakistan will be able to maintain such a navy in the future.
However, for Lin Hongfei, he didn't think about it so much, for him, if this deal can be reached, AVIC Second Group will not have to worry about orders in the next few years, the typical three years will not open, open for three years.
"By the way, I'll give you a message in advance," General Changqing, who walked to the door, suddenly turned around again, his face was strange, "The chief designer of your company's diesel engine, Sigmund . Miss Mia, have you been back in Germany for more than a month? ”
"That's right," Lin Hongfei nodded, but his heart suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's not a big problem, it's just that for more than a month, our special services in Germany have helped Sigmund. Miss Mia has cleared a lot of bed bugs, counting, there are dozens of them, and the opinions of the German side are not small, and the secret service asked me to ask you what you mean: is it to let Sigmund. Miss Mia is back to give birth? Changqing's eyes clearly flashed with a light called gossip.
"What?!" Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he was about to explode, slapping the table with a heavy slap, his face hideous, "There are dozens of bedbugs a month?" Why don't I know about this? ”
"Yes, looking at this posture, it seems that there are more bedbugs to pass," Chang Qing said as he shook his head, "The sanitary conditions in foreign countries are poor, far worse than ours, as for why don't you know......" Chang Qing glanced at Lin Hongfei, "Do you think this kind of thing can sue you?" ”
He patted Lin Hongfei on the shoulder, with a sympathetic expression, "Brother, men, it's not a bad thing to be in love, but once something happens to your woman and child, you will regret it." ”
Lin Hongfei clearly saw the schadenfreude in the eyes of this bastard.
