Chapter 511 Introducing F-16
The negotiations were made in the past, but later they were left alone. This time, it was replaced by General Motors! Bush, the old man, went straight to the point and said that he was most interested in the Chinese side...≦,
Bush, the old man, knows the contradiction between Chen Fei and Cheng Fei. The main purpose of Bush this time is to let Hua Xia invest limited funds into Chen Fei. Then, Cheng Fei's new project may face the risk of miscarriage and kill their independent development capabilities in the cradle.
Therefore, Bush, the old man, did not hesitate to throw out hydrangeas one by one.
"In addition to modifying your J-8 fighter jet, we can also export our more advanced fighter jets to you. The-16 is our advanced third-generation fighter jet, with flies, quick maneuverability and long time left." Bush is not just talking nonsense. You should know that he was a pilot of torpedo aircraft in World War II, with rich combat experience, and an old political fox: "If you are interested, we can even export a -16 production line to you so that you can produce this fighter jet independently."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. How could the Chinese military figures present not know what this means? -
The 16 is a light fighter among the third-generation fighter jets, with advanced performance. If China can introduce the production line of such fighter jets, it will take China's own fighter jet production to a new level! China's pilots tested the Pakistan-16 fighter jets and praised the performance of this fighter jet.
This introduction of production is even more tempting!
"I wonder how much money you need to invest?" Deng Gong asked with a smile.
"It depends on how big your scale is." Bush said: "If you only upgrade your J-8 fighter jets, the total amount of upgrades to one hundred fighter jets should be around one billion US dollars. If you export our production line to you, it should be around three billion US dollars."
Export production line! This is a big concern. The United States has already made up its mind. Exporting production line is just an assembly line. The key technologies, various advanced electronic equipment, etc. still need to be imported from the United States. As soon as China puts it in, profits will continue to flow into the pockets of American companies.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again. This was a sky-high price!
You should know that the current J-8 fighter jet costs less than 10 million US dollars, and the other party will upgrade it for 10 million, which is quite expensive! Even the No. 10 project developed independently now, the entire project has invested less than 5 billion yuan, which is equivalent to US dollars, and this output of -16 production line will be 3 billion US dollars!
More importantly, China has no more financial resources to complete these projects. If an agreement is reached with the United States, then its most important No. 10 project is probably going to be ruined!
Some people felt doubts in their hearts, while others became even more excited. For example, the minister of the Third Department of Machinery!
We must promote this project! This will suppress Cheng Fei's momentum!
"Of course, considering your economic situation," Bush continued: "You can just pay the first batch of funds first. For the remaining funds, you can use various goods, such as various agricultural products exported to our United States to pay off debts."
Bush Sr. offered such a preferential condition, which is a reason that no one can refuse.
The United States' equipment is the most advanced. However, domestic self-developed products will have many technical problems. Maybe it will take several years to improve it, and the construction of the air force is not enough. First-class fighter jets must be equipped as soon as possible!
Privately, this view has begun to become increasingly popular.
The visit of US President Bush has brought a trend to China, and we will try our best to cooperate with the United States and equip world-class advanced fighter jets as soon as possible!
The most active thing is Chen Fei. After the US President left, Chen Fei's leaders began to report to the central government frequently. The three ministries agreed with these reports.
The spring of Chen Fei finally arrived. Chen Fei is an old aircraft manufacturer. After the founding of New China, he first began to manufacture domestic aircraft in Shen Fei! Chen Fei will always be the eldest son and the eldest brother!
Now, you must seize this opportunity!
Half a month later, Shen Fei.
Shen Fei, located in the northeast, is still cold at this time. The cold current in Siberia makes the temperature here still low.
However, people's enthusiasm was high, and they looked forward to it until the roar of fighter planes came from the sky.
The wing body fusion, large edge strip wings, single-engine, and air intake on the belly are all the styles of advanced fighter jets! At this time, the plane was aiming at the runway and landing.
"The American plane is good. Look, it stopped after only 400 meters of skidding!" Aircraft designers who are familiar with the various performances of the fighter are full of envy just by looking at the landing of the plane, and even more convictions in their hearts. If only they can produce such a fighter!
This American-16 fighter jet flew from the United States. After several air refueling, it was to compare it with China's most advanced J-8 fighter jets, let China realize its gap, and then equip this fighter jet!
In addition to the flying personnel at the airport, Mr. Deng was also looking at the stands a few kilometers away in the distance.
"This plane looks very beautiful," said Deng Gong.
"Yes, the more beautiful the aircraft, the more advanced the aerodynamic layout. Our previous fighter jets, J-6, J-7, and even the current J-8, seemed to be equipped with wings on a stick. Now, look at this American aircraft, with a waistline behind it, and some recycling is a bit advanced. This is an advanced aerodynamic design." said the director of Chen Fei and the chief designer of J-8-2.
"Yes, Chairman, if we can produce such aircraft, we can make our fighter jet manufacturing, make 30 years of strides and directly connect with the world's most advanced technology!" The minister of the Third Machinery Department on the side also said.
"However, our country's foreign exchange reserves are insufficient. This project is a big project. Our country cannot provide much money for the time being. Even if we use our agricultural products to mortgage it, it will require the state to subsidize farmers. These are huge fiscal expenditures." Deng Gong said.
Now, with the reform and opening up, China has gradually burst out with new vitality, but the country's strength is still insufficient.
Hearing Mr. Deng's words, the Minister of the Third Department of Machinery continued: "Chairman, this is a good opportunity. As long as we can produce this type of aircraft on our own, we can understand all its technologies within a few years. On the basis of this type of aircraft, we can produce the most advanced fighter jets on our own. The conditions given by the United States this time are very good, once in a lifetime! As for the capital loopholes, we can first slow down other projects and invest the main funds in the introduction of this fighter jet."
Other projects are slowing down first? Deng Gong also frowned. The important thing for other projects is Project No. 10. The Air Force has been waiting for a third-generation aircraft for a long time. Now, the country is fully supporting Project No. 10, and Cheng Fei is also very committed. Project No. 10 has already been tested. As long as it continues to invest, Project No. 10 can definitely mature, equip the army, and become the main fighter of the front line. Now, if this -16 is introduced, Project No. 10 will have to make concessions.
Unlike later generations, in later generations, the Su-27 was introduced only after the 1990s. At that time, the domestic economy had already improved, and the country had enough foreign exchange reserves to purchase fighter jets. The Su-27 was a heavy air-control fighter jet, and the J-10 was a medium-sized one, and the two could match each other. Now, the Americans wanted to sell to the Huaxia-16, which completely overlapped with the J-10. With the current national strength of China, it was simply unable to bear the production and equipment of two models of fighter jets with the same functions.
"What if we use the -16's avionics and fire control to improve our J-8 fighter jet?" Deng Gong thought for a while and asked Chen Fei's chief designer.
After all, the investment in improving the J-8 is still lower. Now, the army has to make way for economic construction, and the country can invest not much.
"If we only focus on the present, it is OK to simply improve our avionics and fire control. However, if we consider it in the long run, we still need an advanced fuselage platform to meet our needs for future wars." Chen Fei's chief designer said. Of course, he knew the interests and could introduce a new aircraft to produce. Why should he modify his original fighter jet? As long as the new aircraft is produced, the technology is thorough, and the improvement of the original aircraft will definitely be natural.
What's more, only by introducing -16 and producing can Cheng Fei be defeated! For Chen Fei, this is a battle of honor and disgrace!
Mr. Deng nodded. Mr. Deng had learned some technical information in advance and knew that this fighter had participated in many wars since he was equipped with the US Air Force and tested the excellent performance of this fighter.
"The Third Ministry of Machinery must come up with a practical plan." Deng Gong said: "Our previous fighter jets were all based on the Soviet system, and the standards of the United States were more advanced. We cannot be impatient. We must be fully prepared and combine our national conditions to make the most suitable plan."
