At the end of 97, the first North County 200A aircraft used to perform domestic trunk transportation tasks and North County 200B aircraft for international flights passed the certification of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic at the same time, and officially obtained the airworthiness certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Administration.

The Beijun 200A, which mainly performs trunk transportation within 4,000 kilometers, has a maximum fuel load of 30 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 85 tons, and is equipped with two BD1000 medium bypass ratio turbofan engines, which can reach a flight range of 3,800 kilometers.

Although the fuel consumption rate of the medium bypass ratio BD1000 engine is slightly higher than that of the CFM56-5B series with large bypass ratio, it is compared to the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The Northgun 200A is less than half the price of the first two, and the level of comfort and cabin noise control is significantly higher than the first two...... Lin Hongfei privately believes that the "public relations fees" given to major airlines that are no less than Boeing and Airbus have played a considerable role in this.

The North County 200B used to carry out trunk transportation tasks within 10,000 kilometers is basically the same as the North County 200A, the difference is that the North County 200B uses most of the fuel tanks sealed on the North County 200A, and the maximum fuel load reaches 80 tons, and the huge weight makes the North County 200B need to use four BD1000 engines to complete the flight mission.

Compared with the prototype Il-62M, the evolution of the North County 200B is significant, not only the weight is reduced, the avionics system is fully digitalized, the driving system is fully automated, and after the replacement of the more fuel-efficient BD1000 engine, the North County 200B has a maximum range of 10,800 kilometers with full load, which can fully meet the transpacific flight from the Republic to the Americas. The design of four engines under the wing also ensures maximum flight safety.

According to a bigwig in the aviation industry, the overall comfort of the North County 200B exceeds that of the Boeing 737, and the overall economic level is roughly equivalent to the Boeing 707-320C, although the fuel consumption level is slightly higher, but the cabin comfort is excellent, and the overall technical level is in the advanced ranks of the international 80s, and the overall cost is only half of similar products in the West, which is a great progress!

In particular, this is the first civil aircraft we have produced to carry out transpacific missions, and we have trained a large number of skilled workers. This is the greatest achievement of the North County 200 project, and the state must strongly support this project.

Indeed, as the big man said, after Lin Hongfei ensured that the due "management fees" and "public relations fees" and other expenses were only a lot more in the process of communicating with the heads of major airlines, the major airlines also expressed their support for Beijun 200A/B after making sure that their wallets would not become deflated. Supporting the national aircraft industry...... I made money and made a reputation. also won political achievements. Why not?

By the end of 97, more than 100 units of the North County 200A/B models had been sold, of course, the main thing was the North County 200A, and the order had even been lined up for 5 years.

That's it, so to speak. The two most successful civil commercial aircraft in the Republic were both from AVIC Group 2, and the Americans and French, who had planned to watch the excitement, could no longer sit still: when the Chinese had their own international flights with the Beijun 200B, and domestic flights with the Beijun 100 and Beijun 200A. And what about Boeing and Airbus? The previous blockade of the republic now seems to be a complete joke.

At this time, the Americans and the French finally could no longer care about the blockade of the republic, and Boeing, which had just annexed McDonnell Douglas for a year and had not yet completely completed the integration work, immediately sent a large delegation to visit the republic, and of course we all understood that it was the Americans who came to sell their own planes...... What's the use of a blockade when someone else is already able to make a similar product at half the price of its own? I believe that Lin Hongfei, that bastard, would like the United States and Europe to continue to blockade them.

………………………………

"Mr. Lin, the chiefs want to hear your opinion on this matter." The central leaders who knew that Lin Hongfei was good at pit people were full of sincerity and sent the secretary of a certain big leader to communicate with Lin Hongfei in person about Boeing's arrival.

"I think this matter is very simple, for the current republic, reform, opening up and development is the overriding matter, in order to maintain Sino-US relations, it is necessary to buy some planes to appease the hearts of Americans, but how much to buy, what is the price, what benefits to exchange for this, this needs to be discussed carefully...... Now that we have this negative in our hands, it's a shame not to make good use of it. Lin Hongfei said without thinking, in Lin Hongfei's opinion, since the most mainstream models can be produced and manufactured by themselves, the Americans still come to sell? Yes, but how can you do it without some blood?

"The chiefs also mean the same, but the chiefs mean, Mr. Lin, can you personally serve as the deputy head of this negotiation team?" The chief secretary nodded, "The chiefs all believe that in terms of foreign negotiations, Mr. Lin, you have more experience. ”

"What am I called experienced," Lin Hongfei couldn't cry and laughed, and waved his hand again and again, "I still know my best to myself, so let's do it, I can be cheeky and mixed in with the things that help formulate countermeasures, but during this time, BD1000B engines, air tankers, early warning aircraft, Beijun 400 and Yun-20...... There are a lot of things in the company that need me, and I can't leave. ”

Lin Hongfei said that these secrets are naturally known, the BD1000B engine as the latest improvement of BD1000, the bypass ratio has been amplified to 4.5, compared with BD1000, the supercharging ratio has also increased, the maximum power will likely exceed 150 kN, in the future will be used as the core power of the republic's large aircraft, at this time Lin Hongfei does need to be present in person.

BD1000B is still like this, the Universiade, Beijun 400, air tankers and air early warning aircraft are even more complicated, and the secretary has to admit that these things are really not good without Lin Hongfei.

This is what Lin Hongfei said, and as for the projects that are being carried out secretly, they are even more complicated.

Knowing this, the secretary nodded, "Okay, the formulation of negotiation countermeasures will be troublesome to Mr. Lin...... By the way, there's one more thing. ”

"Huh?"

"Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of our country, and the Central Committee has decided to hold a large-scale military parade, and probably, if possible, the chiefs would like to see our supersonic bombers, large air tankers and large transport aircraft appear at the parade." After hesitating for a moment, the secretary said cautiously.

Lest Lin Hongfei misunderstand that the leaders hope to get a "Great Leap & Advance", after the secretary finished speaking, he immediately explained, "What the leaders mean is whether they can improve the speed on the basis of scientific laws, if they can, of course it is better, if not, they must not violate the laws." ”

"That's ......" Lin Hongfei frowned, and after a while, he asked the secretary uncertainly, "Is it okay as long as you can participate in the parade, or do you have to have combat capability?" ”

"As long as you can participate in the parade, you can." Listening to Lin Hongfei's words, there seemed to be a door, the secretary's eyes suddenly lit up, and he eagerly grabbed Lin Hongfei's hand, "Mr. Lin, is there a way?" ”

"If it's just a request to be able to participate in the parade, then there is a way!" Lin Hongfei nodded affirmatively, "The first batch of two air tankers based on the Beijun 200B are being refitted, and they are expected to be delivered to the troops in June this year. As for the localized Tu-22M3, the prototype will be ready for test flight at the beginning of next year......"

Having said this, the secretary immediately understood what Lin Hongfei meant: At that time, the KY-200 (air tanker) will definitely have no problem forming combat effectiveness, after all, we have mastered the hose air refueling technology of the bomber-6 air tanker, and the KY-200, which also uses hose air refueling, is naturally not a problem, but the domestic version of the Tu-22M3 "Backfire" H-7, at that time, there will be no fighter at all, so we can only hang a few fake bombs at low altitude...... To put it bluntly, it is to scare those Western countries in this way.

"But the NK-321 engine ......"

Lin Hongfei knew the meaning of the great secret, and immediately said, "We have four well-preserved engines in our hands, which have been carefully maintained, and the localization process of NK-321 has also been going on...... However, it may be that the life of the engine in the first few years is not ideal. ”

"Enough is enough!" The secretary's face was flushed with excitement, because of extreme excitement, a face was as red as braised pork, "That's enough!" The rest is a matter of the propaganda system and the national strategic level, as long as the H-7 can go into the sky and ensure safety during the parade, everything will be fine. ”

"If that's all there is to it, then I'm sure." Lin Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief.

……………………

Negotiations between the two sides have once again begun.

However, as in the previous negotiations, the negotiations have not progressed smoothly, and with China and the United States having signed an airworthiness agreement, the Chinese side is naturally full of confidence on the premise that the Republic already has domestic aircraft that can replace the Boeing 737 and Boeing 707.
