Dominate South Asia

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

"Okay." The ground commander replied.

This is the first test flight, and the main item to verify is that this aircraft can fly! Although at the time of design, there is definitely no problem, in reality, every aircraft designer is worried. If the aircraft cannot fly by then, it will make people a laughing stock.

In the past few days, there have been many ground rolls, and the front landing gear was raised for the last time. Today, it is a formal test flight, which is to verify the flight performance of the aircraft.

Therefore, no more fuel was added. The plane just circled the airport and landed after flying four times.

When Lei Qiang got off the plane, the welcoming crowd surrounded him, and a garland was put around his neck. The gray-haired Mr. Song looked at Lei Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, how do you feel about this plane? "

"It's awesome!" Lei Qiang said: "I moved the control stick lightly, and the plane turned around. It was more agile than an F-16!"

This is the inherent advantage of the duck layout! The aircraft is quite sensitive, and coupled with the fly-by-wire operation, the close-range combat capability of this fighter has fully reached the standards of third-generation aircraft!

Hearing these words, even Mr. Song burst into tears. For many years, as an aircraft designer, he wanted to design the best aircraft in the country, and now, his wish has finally come true!

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

Across 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!" It was President Reagan who spoke. At this time, he still had that actor-specific expression.

Since defeating Carter, Reagan has served two consecutive terms as president. According to American law, Reagan's presidential career has come to an end. Starting from the beginning of this year, the next presidential election has begun. In the past eight years. Bush, who has always been the vice president, is the most prestigious. He is running for the next presidential election. But now, at the end of 1988, the results of the election have just come to light. He defeated his opponent, Dukaki of the Democratic Party. Sri Lanka will take office on January 20 next year. Becoming the 51st President of the United States, Reagan has reached the final time of leaving office.

The American election system is the most democratic! Only with the support of the people. Only then can he become president! This is the most high-sounding American-style democratic argument. Everyone has a vote and can elect the president. However, the person who can really become the president still represents the interests of the big capitalists behind him. Without the help of the big capitalists, They wouldn't have enough money to campaign.

during Reagan's term. It promoted the development of the national economy, freed the United States from its fiscal deficit, and now made the Soviet Union extremely weak. Last year, Reagan went to Europe, stood outside the Berlin Wall in person, and shouted to Eastern Europe on the other side. Gorbachev, please tear down this wall! This sentence has become popular all over the world and has become the best expression of American democracy. Reagan was quite satisfied.

Bush, who won the election, also had a smile on his face: "No matter who takes office, they represent our American interests. Our national interests cannot be violated."

"Yes. We have finally seen that the Soviet Union, the big Satan, has now begun to learn from our democracy. The Soviets still demolished the Berlin Wall. Now, we need the Soviets to withdraw their troops from Eastern Europe and let the people there be free! "Regan said. His words were almost leaving Bush with a task. After all, Reagan was about to leave office and Bush would be his successor.

"As long as the Soviets withdraw their troops from Eastern Europe, we are fully capable of turning it 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 am most worried about is South Asia.”

Bush's vision is very unique. His experience is different from Reagan's. Bush participated in World War II, piloted a torpedo plane in combat, and even escaped death. Bush paid more attention to military strength.

South Asia! Bush raised such a question, and Reagan said: "What happened to South Asia? We successfully drove away the Soviet power in South Asia. Now, the Soviets are gradually withdrawing from Afghanistan. This is our greatest victory!"

During Reagan's term, he had successfully driven the Soviet power out of Afghanistan and prevented the polar bear's claws from reaching the Indian Ocean. Reagan was already very satisfied.

"However, we have cultivated a bigger opponent!" Bush said: "Our intelligence agencies have noticed that Pakistan has assembled two Tomcat fighter jets!"

Bush took these things very seriously, but Reagan, who was still intoxicated by the aura of his upcoming glorious departure, had not noticed these yet. Reagan took a drag on the cigar in his mouth and said: "Pakistan assembles its own Tomcat fighter jets? Impossible? Are they assembled from old parts?"

Fighters are the most cutting-edge aviation technology. Grumman's Tomcat fighter jets are even more advanced models. Just Pakistan? Although it has entered industrialization at a rapid pace, after all, the foundation is still far from enough. It is absolutely impossible to build a fighter plane by yourself. It is said that you can use those scrapped parts, tinker with them, and save one or two, which is almost the same. 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 make big moves. Later, we found out that they had mapped our F110 engine production line. Tomcat fighter radar, and manufactured the corresponding model by itself, and then cooperated with China to overcome the difficulties of fly-by-wire operation. On this basis, they began to officially imitate our Tomcats. Now, two of them have been manufactured and are undergoing test flights in the north of Islamabad. "These aircraft are more advanced than our own Tomcats," William said. Especially the use of fly-by-wire operation makes the Tomcat fighter's maneuverability even better. The radar and fire control system they developed themselves should be similar to the Tomcat fighter. "

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

"Will Grumman help? If Pakistan can imitate a complete Tomcat fighter, we are afraid we won't believe it." Weinberg said: "Mhammad's wife is Grumman The daughter of the company president.”

Pakistan's imitation of the Tomcat requires breakthroughs in many aspects. The technology will not be easily understood. Weinberg feels that Grumman is secretly operating in the middle.

"Impossible." William said: "Relationships are relationships, and business is business. Grumman's Tomcat fighter jet is their company's best-selling model. They produce it themselves and earn more profits. How could they secretly Provide technology to Pakistan? Besides, if they dare to do so without the consent of the Ministry of Defense, they will go to jail.”

"Then where did their technology come from?" Weinberg said: "In short, I can't believe they can make their own fighter jets."

"China's help." William continued: "Pakistan accepted China's help in reverse mapping. Everyone knows that China is a master of piracy. When they copied the MiG-21, Soviet experts had already After evacuating, they still relied entirely on their own capabilities to copy the MiG-21 and shape it into the J-7. "

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

The war in South Asia not only made the Soviet Union go away in disgrace, but also cultivated a powerful country. Once Pakistan's national defense becomes independent, it will definitely pose a threat to South Asia. Now, India is also so weak. Moreover, Pakistan and China The relationship between the two countries is so good. Once these two countries join forces, the power of the United States will no longer be able to intervene.

If China also produces this kind of fighter jet, it will be a leap for them.

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

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

They all have a canard layout, a single engine, and a single vertical tail structure.

"It has nothing to do with Sweden. This was independently developed by China. They used to have a model called the J-9, which is very similar to this one." William continued: "However, this model is more mature now. Look at the front of the machine. It’s very similar to our F-16 fighter jet.”

Although it was a top view taken from above, the outline of the nose is still quite clear, and it looks like the front fuselage of an F-16.

"We cannot let them successfully develop a new fighter jet! This is the most detrimental to us!" Reagan said: "We must curb the development of their aviation industry in the cradle!"

Even if the two sides are not hostile, once China and Pakistan have mature fighter aircraft with relatively advanced performance, they will seize the international military aircraft export market, and the interests of US arms dealers will also be affected.

Reagan made a decision immediately, and their development must be curbed! (To be continued ~^~)
