Chapter 555 The Rise of the Air Force(2/2)
That's because - planes are too expensive, or - we are too poor! A Mirage 2000 fighter jet costs at least 30 million US dollars, and now the country is in dire straits and needs money everywhere, but how many 3,000 US dollars can it afford?
Ten thousand?!
In those years, all the people who went out for inspections actually felt somewhat guilty for their families. During these days of inspection in France, they did not buy a single gift for their families, and all the foreign exchange subsidies bought French aviation books and books. material!
The air force officer who participated in the test flight even bought books and information for his meal allowance. As for his own meals, when the French are not treating guests, the big bag of instant noodles he brings and the free bread in the restaurant are the best. Food is cheap and there is hot soup...
Why are you so hard on yourself?! Why are you so persistent?! Just because - in those years, the commander of a certain country's Far East Air Force shouted crazily: "Our Tu-22m can attack the entire Yellow River in China without an escort group in complex weather." Conduct surgical air strikes on northern targets! And the Chinese aviation has no effective means to stop us!!"
It's just because - that ancient and peaceful blue sky can no longer be insulted by others! That's what the old soldier told Tu Qianjun.
Although they have never owned it, all the soldiers who participated in the trip to France have an expectation and a goal in their hearts. They are waiting, working hard, and paying for it!
Finally one day, when the Chinese-made Su-27 and J-15 fighter jets appeared in the sky of China, at that glorious moment, how many people remembered these silently dedicated people?!
With his eyes blurred by tears, Tu Qianjun vaguely remembered that the old soldier looked at him and said seriously,
"Little guy, remember! There is no absolute strong person in the world, nor is there ever a weak person. As long as we all have a strong sense of urgency and a dedicated spirit of hard work, our country will surely be an indestructible and invincible country. A country that never dies and never gives up!!"
I can't do much, but I hope to leave a complete industrial base for my motherland after me! Wiping away his tears, Tu Qianjun stood up, looking out the window at the tiger shark soaring in the sky, and thought silently.
Chen Haihua, the veteran air force burst into tears! He had asked himself countless times, when will China have a world-class air force?! From the time he graduated from the aviation school to September 18th, the answer to all these questions was: No Know!
When did we make our own airplanes?! Fengxi has done it, but the main parts and even the engines of the airplanes are imported from other countries! Moreover, the cost is scary!
When will we be able to design and manufacture world-class fighter jets by ourselves?! Chen Haihua has never dared to think about this question. Even the entire National Defense Force and Air Force did not dare to think about it!
Why does this old man insist on sealing up the P-26?! The old man is worried. He always hopes that advanced fighter jets can be used on the most cutting edge! From him to the entire Air Force, no one thought that this day would come so quickly!
We... have our own fighter jet?! A fighter jet that we participated in the design and can manufacture ourselves?! Holding the window, Chen Haihua's hands were shaking! This... this is our own fighter jet that belongs to us Chinese...
"Woo~~" the engine roared, and the plane made a beautiful dive and landed at the airport! Everyone immediately stood up and burst into applause!
Opening the cabin cover, Gao Zhihang stood up from the plane! The ground crew beside him saw that this seed pilot of the National Defense Forces Air Force had his eyes blurred by tears...
