Chapter Five Hundred and Five Bigger Opponents

"Report, there is still fuel left, please fly one more round." Lei Qiang's voice came from the radio.

"Yes." The ground commander replied.

This is the first test flight. The main project of verification is that this plane can fly! Although it is definitely no problem when designing, in reality, every aircraft designer is nervous. If the plane cannot fly at that time, it will make people laugh.

A few days ago, I had conducted many ground skids, and the last time the landing gear in front was lifted up. Today, it was a formal test flight, which was to verify the flight performance of the aircraft.

So, the fuel will not be added too much. The plane just circled the airport and landed after four laps.

When Lei Qiang got off the plane, the welcome crowd had surrounded him, and a garland was worn on his neck. Mr. Song, who had gray hair, looked at Lei Qiang and said, "Qianzi, how does this plane feel?"

"Awesome!" Lei Qiang said: "I gently moved the operating lever and the plane turned around, which was more agile than the f16!"

This is the inherent advantage of duck-style layout! The aircraft is quite sensitive, and with the telex operation, the close combat capability of this fighter has fully reached the standard of the third generation aircraft!

After hearing this, even President Song burst into tears. For many years, as an aircraft designer, he wanted to design the best long-lasting and literary plane in China. Now, his wish has finally come true!

This winter is no longer cold, and everyone's heart is hot.

On the other side of the ocean, the White House.

"Congratulations to our good friend, Bush has finally become the next president. This is another victory for our Republican Party!" The person who spoke was President Reagan. At this time, he still had the unique expression of the actor.

Since defeating Carter, Reagan has been re-elected for two terms. According to American laws, Reagan's presidential career has come to an end. Since the beginning of this year, the next presidential election has come to an end. In the past eight years, Bush, who has been vice president, is the most prestigious. He has served as the next presidential election. Now, at the end of 1988, the results of the election have just come to an end. He defeated his opponent, Dukakis of the Democratic Party, and will take office on January 20 next year and become the 51st president of the United States. Reagan has reached the last time to step down.

The American election system is the most democratic! Only by gaining the support of the people can one become president! This is the most high-sounding American-style democratic argument. Everyone has votes and can elect the president. However, what can truly become president still represents the interests of the big capitalists behind it. Without the help of the big capitalists, they cannot have enough funds to run for election.

During Reagan's term, he promoted the development of the country's economy, freed the United States from the fiscal deficit, and now it has made the Soviet Union weak. Last year, Reagan went to Europe and stood outside the Berlin Wall and shouted to the opposite Eastern Europe, "Gorbachev, please push down this wall!" This sentence became popular all over the world and became the best performance of American democracy. Reagan was quite satisfied.

Bush, who won the election victory, also had a smile on his face: "No matter who comes to power, it represents our American interests and our national interests, and we cannot be violated."

"Yes, we finally see that the great Satan of the Soviet Union has begun to learn from our democracy. The Soviets still demolished the Berlin Wall. Now, we need the Soviets to withdraw troops from Eastern Europe and allow the people there to be free!" Reagan said. His words were almost leaving a mission for Bush. After all, Reagan was about to step down and the successor was Bush.

"As long as the Soviets withdraw troops from Eastern Europe, we have the ability to turn there into a land of freedom and democracy, and the people there need to be liberated from the hands of the Soviets," Bush said. "However, I am not worried about the democratic process in Eastern Europe. What I worry most is South Asia."

Bush's eyes are very unique. He has different experiences from Reagan. Bush participated in World War II and once drove a torpedo plane to fight and survived. Bush attached more importance to military strength.

South Asia! Bush raised such a question, Reagan said: "What's wrong with South Asia? We have successfully driven away the Soviets in South Asia. Now, the Soviets are gradually withdrawing from Afghanistan. This is our greatest victory!"

During Reagan's tenure, he successfully drove the Soviets out of Afghanistan, making the polar bear's claws unable to reach the Indian Ocean. Reagan was already very satisfied.

"But, we have developed a bigger opponent!" Bush said: "Our intelligence agency has noticed that Pakistan has assembled two Tomcat fighters!"

Bush attaches great importance to these things, but Reagan, who is still intoxicated by the aura of glorious departure, has not noticed these things yet. Reagan sucked the cigar in his mouth and said, "Pakistan assembles the Tomcat fighter himself? Is it impossible? Are they assembled with old parts?"

Fighters are the most cutting-edge aerospace technology. Grumman's Tomcat fighter is an advanced model. Just Pakistan? Although it has quickly entered industrialization, its foundation is still far from the bottom. It is absolutely impossible to build fighter jets by yourself. If you want to use scrapped parts, repair them and save one or two aircraft, it is almost easier to accept.

"William, tell everyone." Bush said to CIA Director William Casey.

"We have been staring at Pakistan's Aviation Industry Corporation for a long time. When they used various means to obtain our F110 engine production line, we realized that Pakistan might have big moves. Later, we found that they had mapped the radar of our Tomcat fighter and made the corresponding models themselves. After that, they cooperated with China to overcome the difficulties of telex operation. On these basis, they began to formally imitate our Tomcats. Now, two have been built and tested in northern Islamabad." William said: "Their aircraft are more advanced than the Tomcats we use, especially the use of telex operations, which makes the maneuverability of the Tomcat fighter better. The radars and fire control systems they developed themselves should be similar to those of Tomcat fighters."

Reagan's face slowly became gloomy. Of course he knew what this meant. Pakistan's defense was going to be independent!

"Will Grumman help me? We wouldn't believe that Pakistan can imitate the complete Tomcat fighter jets," Weinberg said. "Mhamad's wife is the daughter of the president of Grumman."

Pakistan imitates Tomcats, which requires breakthroughs in many aspects. The technology will not be fully understood. Weinberg feels that there may be Grumman's company secretly operating it in the middle.

"Impossible." William said: "Relationship is relationship, business is business. Grumman's Tomcat fighter jets are their company's best-selling models. They produce them themselves and make more profits. How could they secretly give technical resources to Pakistan? Besides, without the consent of the Ministry of Defense, they dare to do this and they will go to jail."

"Then, how did their technology come about?" Weinberg said: "Anyway, I can't believe they can make their own fighter jets."

"The help of China." William continued: "Pakistan has received help from China in reverse surveying and mapping. Everyone knows that China is a master of pirated copies. When they imitated the MiG 21, Soviet experts had already evacuated. They still relied entirely on their own abilities to imitate the MiG 21 and formulated it as a J-7."

"Why do China also plan to produce our Tomcat fighter jets?" Reagan couldn't help but ask, frowning, realizing that this was a big trouble.

In addition to making the Soviet Union go astray, the war in South Asia has also cultivated a powerful country. Once Pakistan's national defense is independent, it will definitely pose a threat in South Asia. Now, India is so weak. Moreover, Pakistan has a good relationship with China. Once these two countries join forces, the American power will no longer be able to get in.

If China also produces such fighter jets, it will be a leap for them.

"We have not observed it yet, but our reconnaissance satellite has discovered that China is developing a new fighter jet," said William.

The slide projector was turned on, William brought photos taken by the satellite, and looked at the fighter plane on the projection screen. Weinberg said: "It seems to be somewhat similar to the Swedish fighter plane?"

They are all candle wing layout, single engine, and single vertical tail structure.

"It has nothing to do with Sweden. It was independently developed by China. They used to have a model called J-9, which is very similar to this one." William continued: "However, now this model is more mature. Look at the front nose, it is very similar to our f16 fighter."

Although it was a top view taken from top to bottom, the outline of the machine head is still quite clear, and the front body of the f16 is quite vivid.

"We can't let them successfully develop a new fighter jet! This is the most unfavorable for us!" Reagan said: "We want to curb their aviation industry development in the cradle!"

Even if the two sides are not hostile, once China and Pakistan have mature fighter jets and their performance is relatively advanced, they will seize the international military aircraft export market, and the interests of American desire merchants will be affected.
