With the continuous production of the Jian-7, the Navy will definitely get a certain number of Jian-7, but the Jian-7 is also short-legged aircraft, even if it is now this improved model of its own, which has added larger auxiliary fuel tanks and pylons, it cannot meet the real needs of the Navy, and the motherland has a large sea frontier, and the current fighters cannot fly over to cruise.

And now, this Jian-7 CP of his own side is quite suitable.

The Navy does not need J-8, J-8 is originally a high-altitude high-speed interceptor, although this kind of aircraft is huge, but the ability to hang bombs is not strong, the ground speed is large, not suitable for the use of the Navy, if their own J-7, replaced with a new engine, improved nose, then the Navy will definitely be interested!

After all, according to the performance requirements put forward by the Pakistani side, its own aircraft should be able to reach a range of 3,000 kilometers, which is definitely a remarkable achievement.

If the Navy approves of its plan and then provides a sum of money, then the future of this aircraft is even brighter.

"Yes, Qin Feng's idea is good!" Tu Lao made a decision: "Let's take the time to talk to the comrades of the navy, in short, we must do this project!" ”

Tu Lao said this sentence excitedly, and felt more confident, in the past few years, everyone has been engaged in foreign trade, and at the same time, we all know that if you want to make an aircraft successful, it is very important to find the right customer, and the navy is also our customer!

Among all the aircraft manufacturing institutions, the 132 factory is the first to cooperate with foreign countries, and it is also the first to reform, and it has long been thinking about the idea of serving customers, and it is necessary to figure out its own customers.

Now, after Tu Lao finished saying this, his stomach was unconsciously gurgling, and he smiled helplessly: "It seems that our meeting today is a little late." ”

Originally, General Jamal was gone, and it was time for him to go to eat, but it was discussed again, and until now, he was hungry.

Everyone stood up and walked towards the cafeteria at the back, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, I don't know if there is still food in the cafeteria, whether it is good or bad, just eat enough.

When everyone walked in, Tu Lao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "Old Tang, why are you here?" ”

On the other table, there was also a group of people eating, and among these people, a person who was about the same age as Tu Lao opened his eyes and looked at Tu Lao: "What, you guys are also coming to the capital?" Fate, come, come and eat together! ”

Donald, now an old man in his fifties, the years have left traces on his face, his hair has turned gray, and he has been struggling for the aviation industry of the motherland all these years.

Born in a peasant family in Hunan, after graduating from primary school, he went to the arsenal as an apprentice, after which he continued his studies and began his career as a mechanical professional.

Later, he went to report to the Fourth Bureau of Military Industry in the capital. Participated in the formation of the motherland's aviation industry, and since then, he has embarked on the road of developing the motherland's aviation industry.

After that, Donald participated in the establishment of the 112 factory, so to speak, is also one of the veterans of the year, in that era when the shadow of war shrouded at any time, Donald participated in the construction of the third line, once the war started, then, the third line will undertake the task of producing fighters for the motherland!

He first participated in the construction of Factory 132, and Tu Lao and others were good friends, and then went to Guizhou to set up the 011 base, codenamed Factory 130, which is also used to produce fighters.

In the 80s, the situation around the country began to gradually improve, and there was no need to worry about the imminent threat of war, and at the same time, due to the adjustment of the country's economy, the 130 factory plan was to convert the military to the civilian population.

However, this almost means that the 130 factory has gone into decline, and it is not able to compete with the economically developed areas such as the coastal areas to engage in the conversion of military to civilian use in the mountainous areas of the third line.

At this critical time, Donald finally got a new project, Annihilation Seven!

On the basis of the MiG-21, the country has surveyed and mapped the imitation of the J-7 series of fighters, and now, the J-7 fighters have begun to develop and become a series, and they have also been exported.

But at the same time, the Jian-7 series fighters do not have training aircraft, and the flight students will fly the Jian-7 directly after flying the Jian-5, which is nothing for the flight veteran, and it is still difficult for the pilot.

This requires a corresponding training aircraft.

It is an urgent matter to develop a two-seat training aircraft of the same model on the basis of the J-7, and in this matter, it also reflects the brotherhood of the 132 and 130 factories.

Two years ago, the state got a MiG-21 trainer from a special channel, ready to imitate, because at this time the 132 factory already had the experience of building the J-7, so it planned to hand over this imitation task to the 132 factory, and the aircraft were pulled to the 132 factory.

After Donald proposed it to the 132 factory, the person in charge of the 132 factory didn't say a word, they were all old comrades-in-arms and old brothers who worked together to make a revolution, and now, the brothers have difficulties and must be supported!

If they don't have this model, then the entire 011 base will probably face the fate of disbandment, and at this time, they support their brothers, absolutely unambiguous!

Now, more than a year has passed, and when he met Lao Tang here, Tu Lao remembered these things and immediately became concerned.

"How's your model going?" Elder Tu asked Elder Tang.

"I patted the minister's chest at the beginning, and within two years, it will definitely be completed, and we must get the plane out in the summer of '85, and this time I came to the capital to report the progress to the chief." After Tang Lao finished speaking, he looked at Tu Lao: "At the same time, we also complained to our superiors. ”

Grumble? Tu Lao frowned: "What difficulties do you have?" Maybe we can help. ”

After all, the J-7 produced by their own side is also the J-7, and the J-7 has been eaten thoroughly, and Donald's J-7 and his own J-7 must have a lot in common, if there are any technical problems, find us, everyone sit down and solve them together.

011 base, located in Guizhou, is a remote mountainous area, more desolate than Chengdu, Tu Lao is also very concerned about their situation, after all, in the past, they were all old friends.

"Our difficulty is that there are no test pilots!" Donald said: "We can build it, but if we build it, who will fly?" There are several test pilots in the factory, all of whom used to fly the J-6, and then our J-6 dismounted, and the test pilots were also transferred, and we have the confidence to build it, but there must be someone to fly it! ”

In fact, when the J-7 was originally produced, it was also the 130 factory, but when they completed the surveying and mapping and were ready to do a big job, they gave it to the 112 factory, and later transferred it to the 132 factory, and they produced the J-6.

Now they don't have test pilots.
