Chapter 401:-for-tat
"Your Excellency, if you insist on doing so, we will have to re-examine our friendship, including cooperation between the two sides in other areas."
Johnson said with a solemn face.
Of course, this is a diplomatic statement, and the direct explanation is that you don't make us mad, don't think that we don't dare to cut you.
"George, you can say it clearly, we have been friends for almost ten years, there is no need to play these diplomatic words, if I understand correctly, what sanctions are you going to take, right? For example, to increase the tariffs on Daming's exports of rice products, or simply single out certain companies to be blacklisted, and to investigate my own assets in your country, or even let your country's domestic revenue agency find an excuse to seize it, etc.? ”
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Johnson didn't speak, just looked at him deeply.
"Well, I admit that these measures will cost me a lot, but I also have here a list of the amount of food, alcohol, tobacco, meat, etc., that I import from your country every year, and that Argentines and Brazilians have been thinking about this for a long time, and that my friendship with your country has been rejecting them.
As far as I know, 80 percent of the farmers in your country are using these seeds, and every year they will buy them one by one, and many of your country's seed suppliers seem to be bankrupt, and I don't know what your 80 percent farmers will plant if there are no seeds in the next season.
Ah, in recent years, your company seems to have imported a lot of special steel from Daming, and the number of high-grade aviation aluminum is also quite large. There are also some electronic components. As far as I know, the J79 engine is being developed by General Electric. It seems that some important parts are ordered in Daming, right? ”
Yang Feng took out a stack of documents and said indifferently.
Johnson's brow jumped.
"George, I just wanted to tell you that if you want to play, I'll play with you."
Yang Feng said.
In fact, the cooperation between the high-tech field of the United States and Daming has long been very deep, and some of the high-temperature components of the General Electric J79 engine prototype are custom-made in Tenron, and they cannot come up with the J79 that can be mass-produced this year according to the requirements of the United States Air Force, and it must exceed seven and a half tons of thrust, so they can only seek external help.
Even including Naki missiles. A large number of electronic equipment on the missiles of aircraft and warships in the United States use Daming components, after all, Daming is in a leading position in electronic technology, especially in the application of transistors, like these completely pursuing performance things, that must be the best, Daming is not a regulated country, and Western Europe can be purchased freely.
Even the latest Nautilus nuclear submarine propeller is machined at Mukden Heavy Industries Special Metals.
There is no way, there are only three companies in the world that have five-axis linkage CNC machining centers, namely Yingtian Heavy Industry. Shuntian Heavy Industry and Fengtian Heavy Industry, even the United States has only developed a three-axis linkage. And the accuracy gap is far away, it is estimated that it will take three or five years to reach the level of the three companies in Daming, and this kind of equipment is in Yang Feng's control list.
Yang Feng is telling him, don't think that you have a way to cure me, I also have a way to cure you.
"Your Excellency, are we like a pair of vindictive kindergarten children?"
Johnson said with a sudden smile.
"I think it's a bit like that, too."
Yang Feng said.
"Okay, then let's seriously discuss our differences, what you object to is our sale of arms to Annan, and what we oppose is your sale of some special goods to Xinhua, but our batch of military aid agreements has been signed, and your contracts have also been signed, so we will settle the matter, and no one will care about such trivial matters. In the future, if we supply arms to Annan again, we will definitely ask for your opinion in advance, and you here, we hope that you will be able to talk to us when you sell materials on the Batumi control list to Xinhua again, even if it is just for the sake of our friendship. ”
Johnson said.
They also know that if they really want to fight, the result will definitely be a lose-lose situation, and in the end it is the Soviets who are happy, just for this little thing is not worth it, although the Tamron engine is good, it is just an engine that has been considered obsolete in the United States. Now that their J57 is ready for use, and the J79 is about to enter mass production, both engines have reached a maximum afterburner thrust of seven tons, and the large J75 engine equipped for the latest F105 has a maximum thrust of more than ten tons.
An engine with a maximum thrust of only four tons is not worth losing its mind at all.
"No problem, we're friends, of course it's not worth mentioning."
Yang Feng said.
Even if this issue is exposed, there is no need to talk about other things, everyone knows it, it is impossible for the United States to give up its support for Annan, and it is impossible for Yang Feng to give up hostility in this regard, but both sides will not tear their faces for this kind of secret war, everyone is a civilized person and understands the rules.
But for Yang Feng's recent performance, his father-in-law and Qiu Fatzi are still a little worried, saying that Yang Feng and Comrade Li are not a big deal to engage in trade, but it is a bit too much to sell the Tenglong engine to Xinhua.
"Five years, five years at most, Xinhua and the Soviet Union will inevitably break up!"
Yang Feng stretched out a hand and said to Count Clement like a stick.
He was standing on the pier of Yingtian Military Harbor at this time, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people, staring eagerly at the entrance of the narrow bay.
"How is this possible?"
Count Clement said in surprise.
This is indeed hard to believe, the recent relationship between Xinhua and the Soviet Union even exceeded the time of Stalin, He Bald behaved to Comrade Li like the latter is the big brother, the two sides not only completely solved the Lushun problem, but also some of the military technology that Stalin was unwilling to let go, in the hands of He Bald, all of them were given to Xinhua, especially the T54A tank and Yak-25 fighter technology that had just been transferred, which made Xinhua enter the threshold of the top technology in one fell swoop.
Now people are as good as brothers, but Yang Feng said that they will break up in five years at most, which is really hard to believe.
"Earl, you should collect some articles about their ideas in the newspapers of these two countries, you will see a lot of interesting things, MI5 should not always keep an eye on their technical intelligence, we have a very old idiom, it is called one mountain does not allow two tigers."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Count Clement frowned, he knew that Yang Feng must have obtained some top-secret information, this inference is definitely not a false statement, if Xinhua really has to break with the Soviet Union, then it is very reasonable for Yang Feng to give Comrade Li the dragon engine, to be honest, Britain will do the same.
This matter is very important, and after he decided to go back, he immediately encouraged Qiu Fatzi to strengthen intelligence collection in this regard.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly began to scream like a boil, and at the same time, the salute, which had been on standby for a long time, also began to fire into the sky.
"It's coming!"
Yang Feng said.
Count Clement's gaze immediately turned not far away, a gray giant ship was slowly approaching, the top of the huge body dozens of meters wide was a flat flight deck, and the ship island on the right stood majestically, although he had seen a similar scene more than once, but at this time Count Clement still couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Because this is an aircraft carrier, the first aircraft carrier built by the Ming Empire itself.
Yingtian.
This giant ship, which is more than 240 meters long and has a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons, is actually the design plan of the Eagle 2 class aircraft carrier, of course, the Eagle 2 class with a revised design and an oblique deck and steam catapult, but the main structure has not changed much. The power system is quite different, the Yingtian uses the latest high-pressure steam propulsion system, the steam temperature and pressure greatly exceed that used in the Eagle 2 stage, the result is that the power system is stronger, the four axles add up to 170,000 horsepower, the fastest speed is 31 knots, slightly higher than the Eagle 2 stage.
In fact, what Count Clement didn't know was that this system was modeled after the Kitty Hawk, which had not yet been born, and had already been applied to Qi Jiguang-class destroyers, and the aircraft carrier purchased by Yang Feng in Britain also used this power system, and there was also the Clemenceau being built by the Gauls, which was built with exactly the same set of drawings, but it started less than a year later than the Yingtian, and it is estimated that it will be put into service in June next year.
At this time, the aircraft carrier Yingtian, which was sailing into Yingtian Military Port amid the cheers of more than 100,000 people, was already equipped with a full set of carrier-based aircraft, with a total of one Tiger Shark fighter group and an overnumbered squadron of pirate attack aircraft, adding up to 58 carrier-based aircraft, in addition to six anti-submarine search and rescue helicopters.
But to Count Clement's surprise, on the deck of this aircraft carrier, there were also three large planes with strange shapes.
It's a twin-engine turboprop, and it's easy to say they're strange, because on their backs each has a disc that's huge for their size.
"AWACS aircraft, large airborne radars can provide early warning for the fleet and can accompany carrier-based aircraft in front of operations."
In the puzzled gaze of his father-in-law, Yang Feng said proudly.
Well, this is the Hawkeye he has been developing, as for the original identity, of course, it is the E2 of the Mi people, this is actually an Hawkeye B type, at the level of the late sixties, the maximum search radius of the radar is less than three hundred kilometers, although it is not too far, but it is enough at this time. And the supporting data link system is also completed, and the computer system inside has also transitioned to the integrated circuit level, which is the highest level of science and technology in the Ming army, and of course it is also the highest level of secrecy. (To be continued.) )
