Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1120

“What do you mean? Buy one hundred and get ten of the J-7. What do you think is the same thing that is sold outside? Do they have enough pilots to operate such a large number?” The generals in Angola went During the discussion, Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai angrily.

The J-7 is a fighter plane, not an ordinary commodity.

“Isn’t this a good thing? They are not doing the No. 10 project at the 132 factory. They need funding, and the production line of the 132 factory needs to be upgraded…” Xie Kai said, “More importantly, we still have engines for Super-7A. Huh?”

It’s not that Xie Kai doesn’t want to sell their fighters.

The Soviets previously provided 200 RD-33 engines, but they are no longer for sale.

It’s not that they don’t sell, but these guys want to increase prices.

Zheng Yucheng also has nothing to say, this is a fact.

Is it possible to install a turbofan-6 on it?

Not to mention the service life of the turbofan-6 is impossible for any national air force to accept, even if it is the performance, it will not be approved for export.

The performance of the Super-7B depends on the turbofan-6. This thing is much higher than the RD-33 in terms of thrust-to-weight ratio or maximum thrust. This is also the closest domestic turbofan engine to practical use.

“Isn’t it that we wanted to build the core engine of the turbofan engine? This matter is still inconclusive.” Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai.

Whether it is the No. 10 project, their own Super-7B, or even the future J-20, there is no supporting engine.

The domestically-made engine has never been able to work.

The localization of bass engines is also problematic.

“It’s also time to get some hands on this. I’ll find Minister Shen again when the time comes. Once the core engine technology has been established, the technology of marine gas turbines can also make breakthroughs. We need to build larger warships, and the power system cannot keep up. It’s also a troublesome thing.” Zheng Yucheng also said.

Xie Kai didn’t speak.

It is not easy to build the core engine of the engine now.

But it’s time to have to do it.

Whether it is a fighter plane or a warship, better engines are needed.

“Resolve this matter first. It’s best to talk to the Soviet side. At present, we cannot provide stable and reliable turbofan engines in China. We need to import from the Soviet Union. Even Pakistan can’t supply them as trainers. Super-7A.” Xie Kai said.

The problem has always been here, and it won’t work unless it is solved.

The problem of engines has always been a key factor restricting domestic aviation and navigation.

The problem with the engine is not only that it hasn’t been designed or manufactured, but the biggest problem is the material.

When the turbofan engine is working, the requirements for materials are almost harsh, even if 404 has developed a nickel-based superalloy, it can withstand high operating temperatures, but it does not have a long enough service life.

This has nothing to do with the manufacturing process, but the defect of the material itself and the design consideration how to reduce the various loads carried by the material of the key parts under the condition of getting more power.

An engine is almost involved in important domestic industrial fields.

From material smelting, design, mechanical processing, heat treatment process, etc., it is necessary to be very harmonious to solve the problem.

“The 132 factory also has such an idea. The No. 10 project is progressing very quickly, and there is no matching engine. So the project research progress has also slowed down.” Wang Guilin introduced the situation.

These Xie Kai usually don’t pay attention, they think Xie Kai should know the situation.

To engage in the core machine, it is necessary to mobilize the entire domestic relevant units to jointly carry out technical research.

Those who can do this kind of work can be counted by a slap in the country.

The most suitable one is Shen Hong, the retired Minister of Industry, who led the design and construction of most of the domestic important industrial infrastructure systems, understood the domestic industrial technology level, and was familiar with various units.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

He has retired, and Zheng Yucheng and others are not happy to keep looking for him.

Didn’t you see that Xie Kai usually wears it for a long time, doesn’t he even agree?

“Get the Angolans first. Before the No. 10 project has got the core engine, there is absolutely no domestic engine available. They can seek to import the AL-31 engine used by the Su-27 from the Soviet Union.”

The Soviets will not sell it now.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian economy collapsed and collapsed. Then everything will be sold, it just depends on the price.

Even if it is not available in Russia, it can be bought from Ukraine.

After Ukraine’s disintegration from the Soviet Union, life has not been easy, so it depends on selling the assets left by the Soviet Union. In the end, it even wants to sell strategic missiles.

“Will the Angolans agree to such a plan? My biggest worry is that they have no money to pay.” Wang Guilin said worriedly, “The resource-for-equipment plan is not very reliable. The domestic mining industry has some excess production capacity. The policy of monetary tightening is now being implemented to adjust the production capacity structure.”

“The problem is not big. The current domestic infrastructure is still far behind. The overcapacity is not due to the increase in production capacity, but the serious repetitive construction. There is not much high-end production capacity… After a few years, the end of macroeconomic control will be The development is faster. Especially the urbanization strategy and the automobile industry and other strategies, now the country has begun to deploy.” Xie Kai said.

In the future, China will become the world’s largest resource importer.

China’s domestic market is far stronger than the domestic demand of any country in the world.

“What the Chinese said is not unreasonable. We have always relied on Soviet experts and consultants for logistical maintenance. Now the country is basically peaceful, and the country’s main focus is on economic recovery and infrastructure construction…”

In the guest house, a group of Angolan generals sat together and intensively discussed the plan proposed by Xie Kai.

Under the arrangement of Zheng Yucheng and others, some areas of the Special Operations Brigade that can be opened to them have allowed them to see.

Such an army has overturned the Angolan generals’ understanding of army building.

They are not called an army at all, but a slightly better armed force than the guerrillas.

“General, the Air Force can indeed change a bit, but we don’t need so many MiG fighters. We need more ground attack aircraft…”

“No, we also need a lot of fighter jets, not only South Africa, but also the Republic of Zaire!” Satvin said, “We already have a sufficient number of ground attack aircraft, and the Soviet Union is willing to provide more Su-22 and Su-25. , The Air Force needs to gain air supremacy, General Thomas, what do you think?”

The major general was silent.

In terms of quantity and quality, it is really difficult for them to choose.

“We don’t need so much. As long as there are half, we can form four more fighter groups; the saved money is to purchase another regiment of advanced tanks from China. In this way, the number of troops can be completely reduced, and there will be no Any influence. The streamlined army can completely follow the Chinese model as an armed police force, without having to be equipped with heavy weapons and equipment…”

The civil war in Angola has not completely ended.

Internal peacekeeping is more important.

As the highest commander of the Angolan military, except for President José Eduardo dos Santos, he is still very willing to carry out large-scale transformation of the domestic military force.

“Even if we build a national defense force in accordance with the Soviet model, without their huge air force and armored forces, we can’t win the war at all… and the Chinese army has never defeated a war. Even Tanzania, who learned from them. The army has become extremely powerful, and even Libya is not an opponent!”

This is why Sartwin is so tempted.

“What about the funds?”

“Replace resources! Their advanced equipment is too expensive. The only thing is that tanks and armored vehicles are cheaper. We don’t have to purchase that kind of missile defense system, but we can increase the configuration of individual anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles. ……” Shatvin said.

The military of Mobutu, President of the Republic of Zaire, is not very effective; neither is the combat effectiveness of the South African army.

Learn the Soviet army building model, because it is too poor to learn, and even less equipped, victory will not be so easy. If it weren’t for the bravery of the Cuban army, just relying on the army trained by their Soviet advisers, it wouldn’t work.

The Soviet generals have adapted to relying on a large amount of equipment to achieve victory.

Angola can’t help it.

“The Soviet Union would certainly not be happy that we did it like this!”

“They don’t need their consent, they are not willing to provide us with advanced heavy equipment, and their consultants, the training of our pilots, etc., is not systematic training…” Shatwen said.

The more I speak, the more firmly I feel that learning from China in military building is the kingly way.

“General, will the President agree?” Major General Thomas asked.

The president disagrees, it’s all in vain.

“It can make our national defense stronger, and we don’t even need military advisers in the future. Why don’t we agree?” Sartwin said, “We should learn from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. They are good at winning without equipment. This is what we seek. The Chinese government supports the beginning of economic construction…”

Everyone did not refute.

The current task of the Angolan government is to restore economic development, and there are not many countries that can help them. Without political strings attached, the Chinese government, which has always hoped to pursue a win-win situation, is their best choice.

President dos Santos is now seeking assistance everywhere.

“What’s the matter? Ask us to send military advisers to comprehensively transform the Angolan National Defense Forces?” After Xie Kai heard the renewed request from the Angolans, the whole person was completely depressed.

They can’t live this matter.

You need to find a boss from the Ministry of National Defense to do this.

Xie Kai couldn’t answer the request of the Angolan general. Zheng Yu Chengdu couldn’t be the master: “General, we only sell equipment and provide training on the operation of Chinese equipment. This is what we can provide, but full military cooperation is a matter for our government… …”

In fact, Xie Kai is still very emotional.

If it works like this, there will be a second PLA in Africa.

The key is the government’s approval.
