"Mr. Lu, this is the Minister of Defence of Zimbabwe, Tokozani. Your Excellency Kupe, he wants to know the feasibility of converting our Y-12IV transport aircraft into a similar to the US AC-130 'air gunboat', "Lin Hongfei enthusiastically pulled Old Man Lu over and turned Old Man Lu to Tokozani. "Your Excellency, this gentleman is the chief designer of our Y-12 series aircraft, and no one is more qualified than him in terms of familiarity and right to speak about this aircraft, and you can tell him all your requirements for the AY-12IV 'mini air gunboat' that you want......

It turned out to be the chief designer! Tokozani. Kupe instantly respected Old Man Lu: Zimbabwe is a poor country, and he has no ability to design and manufacture military aircraft and transport planes at all. Kupe, yes, we want to add two 30mm aviation cannons to this Y-12 transport aircraft, and at the same time ......"

"Oh, I don't think it's necessary for you to make an armed modification of the aircraft on the basis of the Y-12IV, and I myself am very unoptimistic about this modification," Tokozani said. Kupe's vision of his dream AY-12IV "mini air gunboat", Mr. Lu pushed his glasses and said unceremoniously, "One is that this aircraft was designed as a general-purpose light transport aircraft at the beginning of the design, as a fortunate multi-purpose transport aircraft with a load of about 2 tons, the potential for modification is not large, and the design structure strength cannot withstand excessive overload and maneuvering like fighter and trainer aircraft; ：

"On the other hand, you have a better option, an early model of the Brazilian EMB-314: the EMB-312 Brazilian Tucano is now also in production. Not only to meet your requirements, can be equipped with cannons and machine gun pods, with the ability to fire laser-guided bombs and air-to-air missiles, anti-tank missiles, as an aircraft designed as a military trainer / attack aircraft at the beginning of the design, the price of the EMB-312 is only about 2.5 million US dollars, this aircraft fully meets your requirements, a Y-12IV after the device can almost buy two EMB-312, oh yes, the Argentine IA-58 "Capra" trainer / Attack aircraft are also a good option......"

Finished! Old Man Lu's "Technician Wen Qing Disease" has been committed!

Lin Hongfei listened to it in his heart: I said Mr. Lu. Can you not be so realistic? What about customers who come to your door? You are so realistic, how should we live our lives in the future?

Lao Tzu hates Wen Qing's disease!

Tokozani. Kupe obviously didn't expect that the expert invited by Lin Hongfei not only didn't desperately say that his products were good, but was still vigorously promoting other people's products, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Lin Hongfei. That gaze is called a meaningful one: the people of Chinese are worthy of being good friends of the Zimbabwean people...... Is this really the people of your company?

Although Mr. Lu's qualifications are old enough. It has also made a great contribution to the development of the civil aviation industry with conjugate consequences. But at this moment, Lin Hongfei really had the urge to strangle Mr. Lu: Old man, you can do it, our AVIC Second Group is not having a good time, this finally pulled an order, and you still push it out?

It's not just Lin Hongfei who is stunned. The other people who heard Old Man Lu's words were stunned for a moment, and they were all dumbfounded: This ...... What's going on?

Finally, another young man who came over with Mr. Lu finally couldn't help it, and secretly tugged at the corner of Mr. Lu's clothes. "Teacher, don't talk about it, how can you push the business out?"

"Uh......" Mr. Lu realized what a mistake he had made, opened his mouth, and subconsciously looked at Lin Hongfei. Sure enough, Boss Lin's expression was not very good-looking......

That's all right!

Old Man Lu's face no longer had the previous "pointing the country" demeanor, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Mr. Lin, this ......"

What else can Lin Hongfei say? Nodding with a smile, he comforted, "It's okay, I am very pleased that Mr. Lu can save as much as possible for Zimbabwean friends from the perspective of the traditional friendship between China and Zimbabwe...... Well, very relieved......"

What else can I say?

It's Tokozani. Kupe, his face flushed with excitement, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything, but turned around and gave Lin Hongfei a favorable hug, "Lin, you Chinese are our best friends in Zimbabwe!" The friendship between China and Zimbabwe is everlasting! ”

"Uh...... Hehe......" Boss Lin smiled dryly, his expression was helpless: What, can this Sino-Zimbabwean friendship be turned into money?

"Lin, don't worry, no matter what, I will try my best to facilitate the modification of the first teaching-6." Tokozani. Kupe patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder hard, although he had some regrets about giving up the AY-12IV "mini air gunboat", but since the EMB-312 and IA-58 can undertake the work of the AY-12IV "mini air gunboat", and it seems that they can do better, then how to choose is naturally clear, after all, it is the money of His Excellency the President that is spent, "By the way, if you really set up an after-sales service center in Zimbabwe, we can still order two Y- 12, a VIP business jet in front of you, a regular type of cargo plane. ”

In Tokozani. In Kupe's opinion, since it only costs $1.4 million to modify two Chujiao-6, and it sounds like the combat effectiveness is similar to that of EMB-312 and IA-58, then whether you buy EMB-312 and IA-58 or not, the modification of Chujiao-6 will be carried out...... I wasn't satisfied with the outfit, but it cost an extra $1.4 million.

Beginner - 6 modifications? Lin Hongfei, who was already depressed in his heart, had a gleam in his eyes: By the way, the modified beginner coach-6 coach/attack aircraft, why did I forget this? He groaned for a moment and said to Tokozani. Kupe said, "Your Excellency, I personally expect that the modification of the Chujiao-6 will be completed in about half a year, you can first contact the Brazilians and Argentines to understand the performance of the EMB-312 and IA-58, but you can learn more about it in advance, do not rush to place an order, if the modified Chujiao-6 trainer/attack aircraft can meet the requirements of your country, you will save a lot of money......"

"That's right, Lin, you're right, we're going to do the most with the least amount of money." Lin Hongfei's words immediately got Tokozani. Kupe's approval.

"Modified Beginner Teacher—6? What's going on? "The old man Lu Kairen's Wen Qing disease has been committed again, and he has just understood how much loss he has brought to the group and Bingfei, and he has become Bingfei's "sinner", and he has secretly made up his mind in his heart not to talk anymore, and now he hears Lin Hongfei and Tokozani. Kupe kept talking about the first lesson of modification-6, and the instinct of an aircraft designer made him can't help but ask again.

Ancestor, can you shut up?! Hearing that the old man opened his mouth again, the comrade Bingfei next to him couldn't wait to quickly pull the old man Lu away...... Your old man doesn't want to make a deal of business for the group again, right?

"That's the case, Lu Lao, you should know a lot about the low-speed, high-maneuverability 'battlefield aircraft' powered by turboprop engines that are being hotly discussed in the world, right?" It was Lin Hongfei who gave the old man full trust, and when he heard the old man ask about it, he also wanted to hear the old man's opinion.

"Yes, I know a little bit," Mr. Lu nodded, "Brazil's EMB-312 and the latest EMB-314, Argentina's IA-58 'Pruca' series are all typical low-speed and high-maneuverability battlefield aircraft, and turboprop engines are also used in terms of power. ”

"Tokozani. His Excellency Minister Kupe proposed a modification plan to replace the Primary-6 with turboprop engines and new propellers with torque-turning, anti-pulp and propeller capabilities, and convert them into battlefield aircraft such as the EMB-312 and IA-58, after the enhancement of the Chujiao-6......"

Lin Hongfei will be with Tokozani. Minister Kupe discussed the plan of modifying the Chujiao-6 with Mr. Lu, and said modestly, "Old man, the result of our calculation is that if the second-hand PT6A-27 engine is used, with the three-bladed variable-pitch, can be propeller and anti-propeller HC-B3TN-3B/T10173B-3 propeller produced by the American Hatzel Company, the power can fully meet the requirements of carrying 1,000 kg of weapons and ammunition after the fuselage structure is strengthened, as well as the corresponding avionics equipment and simple fire control, you are an expert in this field. Do you think it's feasible? ”

"Feasible! Totally doable! Mr. Lu quickly calculated in his heart, and immediately nodded in agreement, "There is no problem at all in terms of technology, after replacing the turboprop power, the fairing structure of the engine compartment needs to be modified, the flight resistance of the aircraft is smaller, and the pilot's vision is better...... I think the power of 620 shaft horsepower is a bit wasted, and the PT6A-11 with 500 shaft horsepower is about the same...... Xiaolin, your idea is very good, we now have a large number of beginners-6 in our country are idle, if these idle beginner-6 are similarly modified and sold, it can create a lot of income for the group. ”

"It's okay!" Affirmed by a real expert, Lin Hongfei, a half-expert, breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally relieved. (To be continued......)
