Chapter 81: A New Plan

"Negotiations between France and Saudi Arabia broke down, and Saudi Arabia abandoned the Mirage 2000-5 and switched to purchasing Chinese-made J-8 fighters!"

"Order 180 aircraft, advance payment has been paid!"

"Domestic fighters usher in spring? J-8 can still be sold? ”

"Breaking the news! Saudi Arabia purchases J-8 III fighters, which are the latest modifications! ”

"J-8 III parameters exposed, a brand new fighter!"

……

A few days later, as the contract between Saudi Arabia and Huaxia was finally reached, the news that shocked the world was also made public.

Not only in China, but also in all other countries that are concerned about the trend of China's new projects and the progress of arms sales, it is as if they have suffered a heavy blow.

Because they didn't realize until now, even if they had the highest vigilance against Huaxia before, but when the last curtain was lifted, they suddenly discovered that there were still things hidden in the hands of Huaxia people!

And it's something you would never have guessed!

Yes, who would have thought that Huaxia's new project has nothing to do with the new J-10 model that was revealed before, but a transformation of the J-8 that was ignored by everyone?

Who would have thought that this transformation could achieve such an amazing effect?

A second-generation aircraft with performance comparable to that of a third-generation aircraft, if it is left to Huaxia for its own use, it is indeed a bit of a chicken rib.

If it is placed in the developed countries of Europe and the United States, their military will not even look at it.

But what about in Saudi Arabia? What about in Iran? What about small countries that don't have planes but desperately want to build their own air force?

There is no doubt that this J-8 III is their best choice.

It can build air superiority to a certain extent, train pilots to adapt to the upcoming third-generation aircraft in advance, and even gain technical knowledge that they would never otherwise have access to through reverse engineering.

Is there a better deal in the world?

Absolutely nothing!

Therefore, the Saudi deal will definitely not be the end, but only the beginning.

Since the appearance of this fighter jet, which is not technologically advanced but has an incomparably accurate positioning, it is very likely that the pattern of world arms sales will change completely......

If it continues to develop, I am afraid that this rabbit will gradually catch up and embark on a path that was never conceived.

By that time, Loma? Dassault?

Who's that? I don't know!

Poly is the boss!

And this future may not even be a few years away......

……

At Kadena Air Base, Leon pointed at Conant's nose and yelled, and his entire office was smashed to pieces.

He couldn't figure out how the brains of these officials from Washington had grown up, and they had to give up for the sake of so-called "sensitivity" and confidently engage in "non-military operations", which turned out to be like this.

Conant couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and his mind was full of questions at this time: What happened to the Huaxia people? What's wrong with us? Why did all of a sudden our plan fail?

......

At the White House in Washington, the people of the May meeting looked at each other in the new round of regular meetings, and just a few days ago, they were confident that they would drag China down with an all-out blow in the economic field, and then deal a fatal blow through France's backstab on the arms sales order.

Unexpectedly, the movements of the Chinese people were much faster than their predictions.

How is this possible? How could they have mastered so many and so complex technologies in such a short period of time, and how could they have such a high impetus to quickly apply these technologies?

You know, their organization is extremely complex, the approval process is also cumbersome, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve such efficiency for normal projects.

There must be something that is playing a role in this.

Is it a person, or an administrative directive?

No one in the May meeting knew, they knew only one thing:

I was proud at the beginning, but now it's like a joke.

I thought it was the window period, but people directly demolished the wall.

It's like a confrontation between two fighters, while one of them is still pondering his pace and boxing skills, the other person has already rushed up without saying martial virtue and knocked him down with one punch......

......

France, Maurice stood in front of his boss with a face full of indifference, and said with a straight face:

"This is not my problem at all, the J-8 III was born, and our aircraft has already lost its competitiveness."

"The Saudis are not stupid, why don't they buy the cheap and easy-to-use J-8 III, but instead buy our Mirage 2000?"

"I think that since this contract is irretrievable, we might as well do something else."

"I heard that the Chinese people have opened up negotiations to countries around the world, maybe we can take the initiative to contact them and try to buy a Jian-8 back."

"After all, their engines are using the latest technology, and if we can take them back and do reverse engineering, it will definitely work for us."

"Since you can't beat them, it's better to join......

......

In China, netizens are jubilant.

What an astonishing breakthrough?

In a quiet voice, the official has actually done such a big thing!

A huge order of 180 aircraft, a huge foreign exchange income of billions of dollars.

You must know that in the whole year of 2003, China's trade surplus was only about 60 billion US dollars, which reached one-tenth of the surplus amount, and it was even sustainable.

As a result, everyone was full of praise for the deal.

Even the most reasonable public knowledge had to cheer a few words for this, showing his "joy with the people".

However, among all the raucous crowds of revelry, there are a few exceptions.

They are extremely quiet, just focused on what is at hand.

One of them is the entire team of Project 22.

At this time, the No. 22 project has entered the most critical sprint stage, and no one has time to pay attention to the movements of the outside world, and their energy must be fully focused on the project, because there is only one month left before the scheduled test flight time.

The F119 engine, on the other hand, has just been assembled and transferred to the ground test stage.

Fortunately, the advance payments for arms sales have arrived quickly, and the budgetary problems that had worried everyone have been dissipated, and they can even use more money in key areas to pursue greater efficiency......

Except for the No. 22 project team, the most calm is Chen Nian.

He had long anticipated the end.

After a whole winter vacation, he finally completed all the basic courses of materials science and transferred to the higher stage of "exploratory learning".

The number of source points provided by this process is much higher than that of basic learning, and his source point accumulation rate has reached an astonishing average of 0.1 points per day.

The number of his source points once again exceeded 5 points, and more possibilities spread out in front of him.

And after determining that Project 22 no longer needed to meddle in his own hands, he turned his attention to new territory.

Or rather, new equipment.

A piece of "equipment" that everyone dreams of owning.

Aircraft carrier!

No, not only aircraft carriers...... Rather, an aircraft carrier battle group!
