Chapter 309: Free Lunch

Pelehaq felt that the plan was quite ingenious, so now, although it was a leak of secrets, it was good for Grumman, so he still explained it endlessly.

"We can provide you with a series of large quantities of weapons, mainly including air early warning systems, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, air tankers, large transport aircraft, high-performance fighter aircraft, and ground-based air defense systems dominated by Patriot missiles. ”

Those that have nothing to do with Grumman, Pelehaq will not talk about it, what he said is mainly about aircraft.

"First of all, we will provide you with modern military aircraft and help you build a complete set of early electronic reconnaissance systems on a near-free basis. The system will be linked to the U.S. Pacific Theater Command and the Pentagon, so that the E-3 early airborne early warning aircraft deployed along the Sino-Soviet border can monitor every move within 500 kilometers of the Soviet hinterland. ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that these aircraft are usually handed over to the Chinese Air Force for custody and use, and you will suddenly have the world's most advanced long-range early warning system."

When Pelehaq said this, he simply gushed about it, and handed it over to the Chinese Air Force for use, mainly to guard against serious protests from the Soviets, so that the Soviet Union would have no reason to react to the American-made AWACS aircraft that appeared over China.

You know, the protest of the Soviets is their biggest concern, otherwise, it would be better to have the United States stationed directly.

Now, the L1 105mm tank gun, which Britain exports to China, has been strongly protested by the Soviets, who believe that it will upset the strategic balance in the region.

At the same time, the United States will issue production licenses to China's aircraft and weapons factories to produce American-made fighter planes and weapons and equipment in accordance with US standards. According to their plan, they hope to establish a complete set of aircraft and engine assembly lines at the aircraft factory in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and the Changhe helicopter production base in Jiangxi. ”

The problem of the equipment of the Chinese Air Force was solved so easily, everything was supported by the United States, and they only needed to pay very little money.

Of course, there is still a lot of content in this plan, especially the model of the fighter, and the country still tends to use fighters like the F-16 to the Chinese Air Force, but if the Chinese Air Force strongly wants to obtain the F-14 Tomcat fighter, it will definitely come according to their needs.

In this way, the Chinese Air Force will be able to get the most advanced fighters at once, and as for Grumman, as long as there is an order, it doesn't matter if China pays or the United States pays for it.

"I'm afraid it's conditional to equip us directly like this, right?" General Lin's tone had become cold, of course he knew that there was no such free lunch in the world, and Americans would never be so kind.

"This is also so that you can better deal with the threat of the Soviets, your equipment, which is kept and used by you in peacetime, will be incorporated into the forces of the entire Western camp in wartime, and jointly deal with the threat of the Soviet Union, once the Soviets invade China, it is not only China's business, behind China, is the entire Western world."

What Pelehaq is talking about is just a small part of it, and there are many other plans, such as the creation of factories and storage bases for heavy tanks and self-propelled guns in China. In this way, once there is a danger of a large-scale war, the United States does not have to transport its heavy equipment from the mainland of the United States, which is thousands of miles away, to Asia, and they can easily use C-141 large transport planes, or even civilian airliners such as Boeing 747s, to transport thousands of soldiers to China in the shortest possible time.

To put it simply, they just use China as a weapons depot and just bring soldiers over when needed.

In this way, the Americans could build a solid and reliable forward base on the southern flank of the former Soviet Union, from here to Pakistan to Turkey and then to Europe, forming a strategic encirclement of the former Soviet Union.

It can be said that the Soviets were all blocked on the entire world map.

General Lin finally let out a sneer: "You are really kind, but I still advise you to die of this heart, this plan will not work." ”

"Why?" Pelehaq asked, puzzled.

Isn't it the best plan for China to have no money and need weapons, and the United States to provide weapons to China without China having to pay for it?

Otherwise, Grumman intends to provide China with the first batch of 24 fighters, and what will China rely on to buy them?

"What do you say?" General Lin asked with a sneer.

Fortunately, the language of the two did not understand each other, and what General Lin said was translated by Qin Feng, Qin Feng felt General Lin's anger, and hurriedly said: "This plan will be discussed later." ”

Pelehag could only nod: "Okay, let's move on to the next item, in order to let you have a more intuitive impression of our fighters, we will invite you to visit our domestic production base for inspection, we are ready to welcome your arrival." ”

That suffocating topic finally passed, although Qin Feng had a problem with the translation, but no one held Qin Feng accountable, in the follow-up meeting, General Lin's face was almost always cold, as a veteran who came from the war years, he almost immediately saw the Americans' intentions.

They are trying to dig a trap for China and try to make China jump in.

That's right, China is facing the threat of the Soviets, in the past, there were even border conflicts, for China, the Soviet Union is the biggest threat, and for the Soviet Union, the West is the main threat to the Soviet Union, and the center of gravity of the Soviet Union is in Europe.

If China agrees to this condition of the United States, it will be like setting itself on fire.

All of a sudden, you have updated your equipment to become the most advanced in this era, and then what? The Soviets will definitely fight-for-tat and deploy a lot of advanced equipment to deal with it, those huge bomber fleets, which were originally aimed at Western Europe, and now? Maybe some of them will be transferred to the Far East.

The Americans do not have a good heart at all, this conspiracy can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, although it is a draft now, but even if it is really taken, China will definitely not accept such "good intentions" from the Americans!

The Chinese, who have had backbone since ancient times, would not accept food in the past, and now, the Americans will not deceive themselves in this kind of trouble. The price of a free lunch is the highest.
