Xie Kai and his team are planning how to coordinate the power system nationwide and carry out research on core technology of domestic turbofan engines. The group of people who visited China have returned to the United States.

This trip to China has greatly lost face to the Americans, but it has also made Americans gain unexpected gains.

So, Capers didn't even have a rest, so he went straight to the White House to find the president.

"His Excellency President, we must change our technological output to China. China's technical level is far beyond our previous analysis, and our advanced technology is hidden too deeply." When Capers saw the president, he did not make any politeness and directly told him what they saw in the last trip to China.

After hearing this, President Reagan was shocked, "How is it possible! Is China's technology development so fast?"

Capers nodded helplessly, "Although we didn't believe it before, their new fighter jets showed super high technical performance during the Thunderbird performance..."

As a defense minister, Capers naturally knows what it means for fighters such as the Super-7a, which are not very good as radar systems but have impressive maneuverability.

Alex also made it clear to the president that the Secretary of Defense is right, and that China's technological strength is more than they imagined.

"So, they are unwilling to purchase our f-16/79, not as they said they have no money, but because they have the technology?" Reagan was silent for a while before asking.

He proposed to sell American weapons to China.

Even the honeymoon period between China and the United States was facilitated by him.

At present, the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union has reached a critical moment, and the Soviet Union is about to be unable to survive.

China shared a large part of the pressure on the Soviet Union, and President Reagan even wanted the Chinese to work with the Soviet Union.

For a country like China, once a full-scale war begins, anyone who enters China will be dragged to death. Otherwise, what will the United States cooperate with China?

The Soviet Union could not even handle Afghanistan, let alone China, which had a larger area. In addition, the Chinese had played military tactics for thousands of years, and created guerrilla warfare. If the Soviet Union really invaded China, the United States would stab the Soviets in the back from time to time. As fast as the Soviet Union would be, the Soviet Union would die as quickly as it would be.

Unfortunately, China and the Soviet Union cannot fight.

"They got the support of the Soviet Union!" Capers said gritting his teeth, "The Chinese are secretly working with the Soviets while getting benefits from us!"

Reagan obviously didn't believe it.

How could China cooperate with the Soviet Union?

Since the deterioration of relations between the Soviet Union and China, in 1960, the Soviet Union withdrew its team of experts to aid China's industrial construction, tore up 243 contracts, and abolished 257 scientific and technological aid projects... Then, nearly one million powerful troops armed to the teeth were stationed on the Sino-Soviet border.

Until now, China's relations with the Soviet Union have not returned to normal.

How could the Soviet Union start to assist China's technology again, or advanced technology with high technology?

"The Soviet Union provided China with Il-76; at the same time, we saw a fighter jet in China's fighter jet production factory that resembled the MiG 1.44, the stealth fighter jet being developed by the Soviet Union..." Capers continued to tell the president what they saw.

These are all seen with their own eyes. If someone else said it, President Reagan would never believe it.

China does not have the ability to create such excellent fighter jets.

Designed, maybe it is possible.

"Call them for a meeting now!" Reagan's face also became serious.

At the beginning, an advanced armor-piercing bomb from China was discovered on the African battlefield. This armor-piercing bomb was not an attack mode like an ordinary armor-piercing bomb, but specifically attacked the top of a tank without armor protection.

In addition to the new individual air defense missiles, 359 tanks, and tactical missiles with a range of more than 200 kilometers on the Middle East battlefield, the US government feels that China's technological strength is much stronger than what they show.

This time, some clues were finally discovered, and some mysterious scientific research institutions in China finally began to emerge.

At the same time as the White House held a meeting, Jonathan also urgently summoned Andrewson, business manager of General Motors' aerospace department.

Andrewson came to meet Jonathan happily, and asked happily when he met, "Col. Jonathan, how many orders have the Chinese placed?"

"No one! Didn't you get the news that f-16/79 crashed during the Thunderbird flight show..." Jonathan looked at Andrewson with a look of surprise.

The incident has happened for two or three days, and it was reported back that day. How could GM, a company that designed and developed the F-16/79 fighter jet without knowing it?

Andrewson was a little embarrassed.

He really didn't know that this happened, "Sorry, I'm on vacation these days..."

Looking at this guy, Jonathan asked the sky speechlessly, is it on vacation?

Wouldn't General Dynamics people go to him?

"Now, China will not only not want F-16/79, but our Ministry of Defense is even preparing to introduce 100 high-level trainers from China..." Whether Andrewson is on vacation has nothing to do with Jonathan.

His relationship with General Dynamics is just a cooperation.

Telling the other party the news is done, and as for how General Dynamics comes up with a response plan, this is their business.

"What should we do if our f-16/79 is changed to a trainer plane?" Andrewson was anxious.

The f-16/79 has been created for several years, and there is no order for any aircraft so far, with a investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It cannot be wasted. Originally, people from General Dynamics were planning to change the f-16/79 into a trainer.

Anyway, this thing is cheap, and the US military has a lot of demand for advanced trainers.

"That's your business!" Jonathan was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

Andrewson ignored Jonathan's changing attitude and hurriedly returned to General Dynamics headquarters in the suburb of Falls Church, Virginia. After all, they were both in Virginia and were relatively close to each other.

"Andrewson, where have you been?" General Dynamics' senior management was extremely dissatisfied with Andrewson's whereabouts in the past few days.

Such a big thing happened to the company, but as the business manager of the aerospace department, Andrewson couldn't contact him.

Andrewson couldn't explain it. Could he tell everyone that he thought he could get another huge commission immediately, so he found a group of beauties to go out and fool?

"Everyone, the latest news, the Chinese military once again refused to purchase f-16/79..."

"This is old news!"

Dominic, the head of the company's military equipment, looked frosty.

"The Ministry of Defense is preparing to purchase 100 advanced trainers from China..." The company should not know about this news.

Dominic's face suddenly changed, "Really?"

"The contract of intention has been signed, and as long as Capers convinces the president, it will use a special defense budget and can be purchased without Congress' approval. The total contract amount is $1.4 billion."

At this moment, no one has pursued Andrewson's disappearance these days.

"This contract must be blocked, otherwise we will have no market at all on f-16/79." Dominic said seriously.

As a result, senior executives of General Dynamics' military equipment business department gathered together, and even the news was passed on to Lockheed Martin Aircraft Manufacturing Company, which had always had a good cooperative relationship with General Motors. Even the major US military aircraft suppliers, MacDonald Douglas, and Northrop Grumman, which have never dealt with each other and were competitive, have received news.

The US government must be prevented from purchasing China's garbage fighter jets.

Even if it is a trainer, there is no possibility.

Dominic knows better than anyone else that there is no way for the government to give up purchasing Chinese fighter jets with just one family.

If it were just to purchase one or two dozen aircraft, this was not a problem.

The problem is that hundreds of them were purchased this time.

No matter how rubbish the Chinese planes are, as long as the Ministry of National Defense buys them, there is no reason why they can be left in the warehouse and not used, which will cause them to lose orders for hundreds of aircraft.

Chinese planes are cheap, only 100 of which one is cheaper, but which one is cheaper in the United States?

Therefore, this contract must not be successful.

There is a fierce debate in the White House now.

American generals who have never been to China and the White House think tanks have expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Capers' proposal to purchase 100 fighter jets from China.

"China's fighter jets are too trash. Even if they have Soviet engines and Soviet technology, they are far from the performance of the fighter jets we equipped!"

"Even if you want to buy this kind of fighter jet for research, you don't need to purchase such a large number! This is a crime against the country and a crime against taxpayers!"

"Even if it is used to build imaginary enemy simulation troops, just like purchasing MiGs produced in China, one squadron is enough!"

"This is simply an insult to the US military industry!"

There are many people who oppose it, and they don’t care that it was proposed by Secretary of Defense Capers.

Some even hinted at that Capers made such a decision because he took advantage of China.

Capers was not surprised at all about these remarks.

No objections were even raised from beginning to end.

When President Reagan saw that his Secretary of Defense was criticized, he had to speak out and stop everyone from attacking the Secretary of Defense.

"Everyone, China and the Soviet Union are working in secret! This is a serious mistake in our intelligence department! An advanced fighter with excellent performance, from design to research and development, we have no news... How can we deal with it once a war breaks out?"

In the president's words, the dissatisfaction was very obvious.

As the head of CIA, John Tony, the acting director, felt extremely wronged.

How long has it been for me to take office?

But it won't work without explanation.

"His Excellency the President, China has always been a country that is difficult for our intelligence agencies to penetrate. Westerners are too obvious in their country, and intelligence personnel from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan cannot access their high-level secrets..."

In the past, it was almost impossible for any intelligence department to penetrate into China.

If you don’t get information, it’s not that Cia is incompetent, but that China is too crazy about counter-espionage.

In China, old ladies who don’t care about usually have rich experience in counter-espionage…
