On the wide tarmac of the Meteor Company, three fighter jets with very different shapes were draped in red flowers. These are the three aircraft in the sea-to-air fighter tender program, which, after more than two years of repeated tests and modifications, are finally officially delivered to the troops today.

On the left is the "Snake" fighter developed by Raytheon selected by the Air Force, with the military designation J-4. It looks very similar to the British Hurricane fighter in World War II, using the 12-cylinder Kunlun liquid-cooled engine jointly developed by Hanyang and Raytheon, which is a copy of the famous Merlin engine, which is currently only 950 horsepower due to processing and material problems, but the stronger 1100 horsepower model has begun to be tested.

On the right is the Meteor Company's "Mighty Wind" fighter that the Navy has a fancy for, with the military number HJ-3. The HJ-3 is very similar to the Japanese Zero fighter in the parallel world, using a single 1200 hp Comet 1000 engine, and can also use Airbus' twin Mustang engines with the same horsepower and four 12.7 mm machine guns mounted in the wings. However, due to the Navy's eventual requirement to install armor and adopt the latest self-sealing fuel tank and other technologies, the weight of the aircraft increased to 3.5 tons, resulting in a slightly inferior hovering and low-altitude combat capability than the real Zero Battle, and the range also fell 1,600 kilometers, but the high-altitude and dive performance has been enhanced, and the strike resistance is much better than that of the Zero Battle.

The two-seater type in the middle is a "ghost car" dive bomber developed by Meteor Company for the navy and air forces, although the sea and air requirements are different, and the performance and internal configuration are very different, but the main data are about the same. With a 1200-horsepower comet engine, a large honeycomb speed brake and a dive automatic change device are installed, which can carry up to 1 500 kg bomb or 2 250 kg bombs, and the combat radius is 250 km at the maximum bomb load.

Shortly after Yang Qiu's arrival, the three planes began their last show flight before entering service. Looking at the planes that made all kinds of difficult maneuvers, the only one who was depressed was the Northern Raytheon Company. As one of the three giants of domestic aviation, Raytheon very much hoped to hold a separate "Lifeng" delivery ceremony, but considering the secrecy and other circumstances, the Ministry of Defense finally held the delivery ceremony in Chongqing.

This is also a last resort. After smashing the eggs, Britain, France and other countries were affected by the economic crisis, but they still gritted their teeth and began to strengthen aviation construction, and as a Chinese aviation company that has repeatedly brought surprises to the world's aviation industry, it has naturally become one of the targets of all sides, and in the past few years, there have been more than 100 intelligence spies on the three major aviation groups, of which the most spying is the northern Raytheon company close to Japan. This was followed by the Soviet Union and Germany. To this end, Raytheon also put all the manufacturing of "Lifeng" in the Baotou branch to avoid the spying of opponents.

"This is the roster of cases and arrest lists for spying on our country's aviation intelligence last year." Wu Rui sat next to Yang Qiu, uninterested in the ongoing air show. As the earliest ace intelligence officer, after Yang Qiu became president, he replaced Fang Rui to take over the throne of director of the National Security Bureau. Protecting domestic industry and science and technology and cracking down on hidden spies is one of the most important tasks of the Security Bureau at present, so he has the most say in the number of aviation espionage cases that are increasing year by year. Seeing that Yang Qiu looked at it very carefully, he continued: "There are 71 cases in total, and the most in terms of distribution is Japan!" Next came Germany and the Soviet Union. Japan's methods mainly rely on bribery and corruption, as well as direct camouflage and infiltration. The Germans and Soviets mainly relied on the purchase of foreign technicians working in our country. Even the wives and lovers of many technicians who came to our country had a Soviet background. ”

Before Yang Qiu could speak, Song Ziqing, who was sitting next to him, frowned first. He didn't expect that there would be 71 espionage activities in one year. And that's just the sea and air, and if all the other military and industrial spies were combined, I'm afraid the number would be even higher. So he was also a little worried and asked, "Then do you have any detailed countermeasures?" If you continue to spy so often, you can't be sure that the short board will be missed. ”

Wu Rui said: "This is also what I am most worried about. Germany and the USSR are okay to say. It is relatively simple to supervise different races, and the dragon teeth that have penetrated into the Soviet Union have also been sent back to the list of Soviet spies, and I have arranged to keep an eye on them one by one, if it were not for the fear of exposing the dragon teeth, I would have been able to sweep them away a long time ago. But Japan is in trouble! In the former Qing Dynasty, Japan had a deep infiltration into China, and there are still many Japanese expatriates who secretly stayed in China, especially in Northeast China, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Shanghai. Most of them have already married and had children in China. It's impossible to tell the difference, and many of the people we caught were their descendants. So I suggest that a big bait operation be carried out as soon as possible, lure them out, and clean up a batch to solve the hidden dangers first. ”

Operation decoy is a tactic often used by the Ministry of Intelligence. It is to deliberately throw out valuable information, and then use this information to lure the enemy into taking the bait and clean up the potential threat. Such operations have been carried out many times, but this time Wu Rui hopes to directly throw out Japan's favorite aero engine and the 480-mm naval gun used for experiments in Chongqing to carry out a ruthless clean-up operation.

Song Ziqing was not distressed when the 480 mm naval gun was thrown out, because after the naval test, it was found that the gun had many technical difficulties, so the research had been suspended and the research was switched to the research of two long tube types, 380 mm and 406 mm, so he was not distressed when he threw it out. But the aero engine made him quite vigilant, after all, after so many years of Yang Qiu's cultivation, they know best what the aero engine represents.

On the contrary, Yang Qiu's eyes flashed. It has been two years since Japan took East Timor, and it is time to find an opportunity to tighten the noose and force Japan to make a choice! So he put away the papers and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Keelung's side is ready, two engines that have been manipulated are very attractive to Japan, as long as we publish fake news that their model has passed the test and gives an order for hundreds of units, the Japanese will definitely do it! Flights from Keelung and Taiwan to Japan have long been suspended, and they need to transit from places such as Shanghai or Fujian, so if you want to take them away, you have to move a lot of links. After Wu Rui roughly explained his plan, Song Ziqing was still a little worried: "Although I have done it, I asked Zhou Houkun and them, if they have enough time to ponder, they can still crack it, this." ”

Yang Qiu knew that Song Ziqing would be worried, but he didn't think it was a big deal, not to mention that it was just a 650-horsepower engine that had been manipulated, even if the latest twin Mustang was given to Japan, there were no detailed drawings and material data, and it would be difficult to break through in four or five years just by reverse imitation. In order to give Japan the illusion that it has developed the world's advanced fighter plane, and to give them one more sharp weapon to go south with confidence, it is still worth taking the risk.

So he agreed with the plan and said, "Then close the net!" Ziqing, you are also ready. As soon as Wu Rui received it, you immediately issued a document prohibiting the deployment of the Jian-3 and Jian-4 on the islands along the coast, and all aircraft equipped with Kunlun, Shuangmustang and Comet engines also stopped their forward deployment for one year, creating the false impression of serious data loss. Also, you get the Coast Guard ready to head north as soon as you get the excuse. Sakhalin took the opportunity to make a fuss. We must make Japan feel that we are angry, and even if we cannot completely stop the Sakhalin oil cooperation project, we must find a way to interfere with and sabotage and put pressure on them. ”

"Without oil, I'll see what they do!"

"Good news! Good news, haha our plane was chosen by the Navy! Cheers rang out early in the morning at the Keelung Aircraft Factory. Huang Yufei, a graduate of Nanjing Aeronautical University and now the deputy chief designer of the company, happily waved a telegram and rushed into the factory.

"Designer Huang, is it true?"

"Of course it's true! You see, this is a telegram from the boss from Chongqing. Ha ha. Huang Yufei rushed to the front of a short, stubby lower wing standby test plane painted red and blue in the factory. Got into the engine room and stood up and shouted, "Good news for everyone, our plane was chosen by the Navy." The boss said that it would be better for the Navy to give an order for 300 aircraft! If you use it, there will be more. ”

"300?!"

"Great."

"I'll just say, you can't even build such a good plane, so why can't you choose it."

The good news had the technicians high-five each other. Even the workers shouted and jumped happily, knowing that this domestic aviation tender is like a big test. The fact that his aircraft was selected by the Navy shows that the strength of the aircraft factory has entered the forefront of the country, and the order of hundreds of aircraft can bring huge profits to the company, who can not be happy?

In the crowd, the corners of the 30-year-old Lin Ye's mouth twitched, looking at the monoplane at Huang Yufei's feet, and a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart. Ostensibly, he was a Shanghainese mechanical engineer in charge of the design of the flap drive. But in fact he is an out-and-out Japanese named Shinji Ono.

As a Japanese intelligence agent who infiltrated China to spy on intelligence, his mission was to spy on China's aviation technology. Ever since the Persian Gulf staged an incident in which planes smashed eggs, Japan's top brass has been in a state of panic. Three thousand kilometers of Saudi Arabia can fly over. How far is the island of Japan on the doorstep? In particular, after learning that the powerful United States had also launched the development of the P26 fighter and the B17 bomber, and that even Britain, France, and Germany, which had suffered greatly from the economic crisis, had gritted their teeth and allocated funds for pre-research, Japan was of course not far behind.

However, if you want to develop a good aircraft, you must first have a good engine, and there is no data machine to pull up, and there is no strength of Europe and the United States, and Japan is too backward in this regard, so Japan has set its sights on its close neighbors who have created a number of aviation miracles. When he learned that the Penang Aircraft Factory's model was selected by the Chinese party as one of the bidding test models, Ono immediately tried to find a way to infiltrate the factory.

The Keelung Aircraft Factory was chosen not because of how strong it is, but because the owner of this factory was a Chinese Navy pilot before, not only participated in the European War, but also worked in the Chongqing Meteor Company, and it is said that he has a very close relationship with the senior management of the Meteor Company. This time, in order to win the contract, not only did it come up with the latest model that was somewhat similar to the American P26 fighter being tested, but it also installed the same 650-horsepower engine as the Meteor model.

650 hp! You know, Japan is still using biplanes, and the engine has been hovering at 450 horsepower without getting an increase. So after the engine was brought back, Ono, who saw the plane's performance soaring, secretly thought about it. But the tight protection has kept him from finding a chance, and after so many years of intelligence battles, he is also worried that this is a decoy deliberately thrown by others.

You must know that the Japanese intelligence agents lurking in China have so far obtained some ordinary information such as appearance and local design, and the most core engine, not to mention the detailed data, has not been seen a few times. In addition, China's Ministry of Intelligence has closely protected Hanyang, Chongqing, Airbus, and Raytheon, four enterprises with extremely strong aero engine manufacturing capabilities, so so far Japan has not been able to obtain any engine drawings and physical objects, so when the "advanced engine" of Meteor appeared in the Penang aircraft factory, the possibility of decoy is very high.

But now this worry has completely disappeared, since this aircraft can impress the military, then its performance and engine must be advanced, otherwise how could it be chosen, so Ono quietly got out of the crowd and walked out while everyone was celebrating.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Huang Yufei also quietly hooked the corners of his mouth.
