Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1252

People’s funds have been in place a long time ago, and they have even been spent.

The fighter plane has just entered the prototype assembly and has not yet achieved its first flight. Now tell the other party that the cooperation can’t go on, and no one will do business with them in the future.

“The above policy is like this. If you violate the policy, it won’t be easy to do in the future…” Bai Yanjun reminded Xie Kai.

If you cooperate privately, then the consequences will be serious.

“It will definitely not violate the policy.” Xie Kai naturally understands what Bai Yanjun is worried about.

Before coming, they had already discovered such a problem from Zheng Yucheng.

“General, will the Chinese sell us Super-7B? If they don’t sell us, we don’t have advanced fighters. Once a war breaks out, it will be difficult to obtain air supremacy.” The assistant reminded Mubara, “Air Force Secretary Jerolla The general has always been very dissatisfied with our work; the Ministry of Defense is also on the verge of patience…”

“We can’t blame us. If we signed the contract at the beginning, such a thing would never happen. The Department of Defense has always believed in the Americans. How many times have we been scammed for believing in the Americans?” Mubara said coldly. .

The assistant hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

The Americans are really untrustworthy.

But are the Chinese so credible?

The joint-developed project was eventually banned from export, and it was no different from the Americans.

“At least, the Chinese are more reliable than the Americans in some respects. There is no clear number of how many planes the Ministry of Defense and Air Force need, so far…” Mubara knew that he was a little gaffe.

The assistant reminded himself kindly.

However, Pakistan’s domestic industrial base is too poor to develop and produce independently, and can only rely on others.

It is simply unrealistic to get technology from the Americans and fill the gaps in the poor industrial foundation. As long as it is mentioned, the Americans will say that we provide advanced weapons and equipment, as well as all kinds of assistance. What do we do?

Americans have always just been willing to sell equipment, or the simplified version, do not want to get technology.

Although the Chinese are backward in technology and require money, they can gradually establish their own military system through cooperation with Chinese companies.

As a person in charge of equipment, Mubara has been in contact with many countries. Buying alone cannot buy a strong national defense. Only a complete defense industry system can be built by oneself, even if not all the complete systems can be built, at least the core equipment can be produced by itself.

Fighters, tanks, and artillery should be produced by ourselves, even if the technology is a little behind.

People in the Department of Defense would not consider these, and the same is true for the Air Force.

People who were not in the Air Force Department had affected the signing of a contract with China for the F-16, but this is not the case at all.

The production lines in Egypt have already begun to assemble Super-7A fighters, and it is estimated that the test flight will take place this year.

The assistant was completely speechless.

Although there are too many doubts in my heart.

In the morning of the next day, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Pakistan and the Air Force team took a plane to the air base where the Chinese participating fleet is located.

“Is this made in China?” The deputy defense minister who led the team, Dastram, saw two brand new C910s parked on the apron, and the improved aerial refueling of the Boeing 707 they were equipped with on the side of the aircraft. The machine formed a sharp contrast, could not help asking.

“Yes, C910, the original Chinese project code name is Yun-10.” Mubara looked envious. Will Pakistan be able to design and develop such an aircraft in his lifetime?

“China’s imitation of the Boeing 707’s Yun-10? It’s a bit different.” The Secretary of the Air Force looked suspiciously between the Chinese plane and their equipped 707.

No matter how you change it, from the 707 to a tanker, at least in terms of appearance, there is no way to modify it.

The shape, aerodynamic layout, etc. need to be modified, so that the project will be bigger.

Mubara glanced at the Deputy Minister of Defense, contemptuous in his heart, but his face remained silent, “China’s Yun-10, which was developed by themselves, is about the same time as Airbus began research…”

I didn’t say much about it.

Some people in the Department of Defense have always felt that American equipment is the best and most suitable for Pakistan. Therefore, it is not very cold for Pakistan to expand the scope of procurement from China.

In addition, some people are already focused on the United States.

Otherwise, after we negotiated with 404 to jointly develop the Super-7 project, no formal contract has been signed until the Super-7A prototype has been successfully trial-produced…

Mubara knows the maneuverability of the Super-7A, but these domestic military leaders do not know it.

The reason why there is such an arrangement today is that Mubara wants to change the minds of these high-level military officers who see only American equipment.

Although it is more costly to set up a production line in Pakistan so that China can help train more technical personnel, if you miss such an opportunity, it is really gone.

“Your Excellency, the Chinese are waiting for us.” Mubara’s assistant said, seeing the atmosphere a little embarrassing, and hurriedly pointed to the Chinese team not far away.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Dastram nodded, he really didn’t like Chinese-made equipment.

Although China provided a lot of equipment during the Third Indo-Pakistani War, many of the weapons and equipment in the Pakistani army are made in China, and the performance is really not comparable to the world’s mainstream equipment.

“I didn’t see the Chinese fighters.” Dastram’s words expressed the aspirations of other military personnel.

Everyone is searching for the sound and shadow of Chinese fighters.

But I didn’t see it in the airport.

“The Chinese arrangement is to perform formations directly in the air. In the afternoon, we will conduct confrontation drills with our fighters.” Mubara said, “Our arrangement is the J-6.”

“Why not arrange F-16? This fighter is not intended to replace the Air Force’s F-16 orders in the United States?” Dastram asked dissatisfiedly.

Since the Chinese Super-7 project wants to replace the F-16’s status, at least it needs to exceed or reach the F-16 level in all aspects. Otherwise, why abandon the F-16 and use Chinese garbage?

“Deputy Minister, according to the original vision of the Ministry of National Defense, we are looking for a low-cost fighter that suits our national defense needs to match the F-16…” Mubara reminded the deputy minister with a bad look.

Especially the title of the deputy minister, the pronunciation is very heavy.

Just to tell Dastram that he is not yet the Minister of Defense. Although the F-16 is advanced, Pakistan cannot support too much.

The Americans can provide it, but they are unwilling to continue to provide it in the form of military assistance. At the same time, the price has increased by a large margin. The Pakistani military’s small annual military expenditure simply cannot support such a huge expenditure.

Seeing that he hadn’t seen the performance of the Chinese fighters, the Air Force Minister started arguing and said quickly, “Minister, let’s take a look at the performance of the Chinese fighters first.”

He also hopes that the Air Force will be equipped with more advanced fighters, not only the F-16, but even hope that their Air Force can be equipped with the F-15, a heavy fighter with stronger combat capabilities. The Chinese fighters are really not so good.

The reason why Chinese fighters were chosen at the time was not because of their advanced performance and cheap prices, although this also accounts for a large part of the reason. But when the war with India, the Americans stopped providing them with weapons and equipment, Pakistan had no choice.

Unless they fall to the Soviet Union, and in South Asia, the Soviet Union is more inclined to cooperate with the stronger Indians.

“These goods, looking at our planes, do you have ideas about our C910?” Bai Yanjun’s hopes are good.

Xie Kai glanced at him, then looked at Cheng Wei from time to time with the same joyous expression on his face.

Up to now, there are only domestic civil aviation orders for the C910, which is still the order that the Civil Aviation Administration of China is forced to give.

For any large aircraft to have greater development prospects, it will naturally require more orders.

“Uncle Bai, you think too much. The Pakistani military has always wanted to equip more advanced American equipment… I guess they think this is our copy of the Boeing-707.” Xie Kai knows the inside story, and the C-910 is estimated in Pakistan. Can’t get any orders.

When the 150-ton military model of the Yun-15 comes out, it may be able to compete with the American transport aircraft.

“They’re here.” Cheng reminded Xie Kai and Bai Yanjun from time to time.

“Brothers, our flight demonstrations today are very important. Whether domestic fighters can get more orders internationally, and whether we can fly new heavy-duty twin-engine fighters faster depends on our performance…” Inside, Tu Lang cheered on several teammates standing in front of the fighter.

On his face, there was no cynicism like before.

At home and abroad, their responsibilities are completely different.

The ground crews have completed the pre-takeoff inspections, and the remaining work is to push these fighters from the hangar to the runway and fly to the sky to demonstrate the performance of the fighters in front of the Pakistani military.

“Tu Lang should be ready, right?” Xie Kai was a little worried.

There is no engine at present, and I still hope to get the order.

The more orders, the greater the bargaining chip 404 has to negotiate with the Soviet Union.

The Soviets are so poor that they can’t afford to eat, so naturally they won’t refuse the large sums of money sent home.

If the Chinese side is willing to pay a high price of US million for an RD-33 engine, this is a very huge deal.

The Super-7B is a dual-engine fighter. One fighter requires two engines. As long as there is an order for 500 engines, this is a billion dollars!

At its peak, the Soviets would not care about this little money, but now, the Soviet Union can’t care less.

“Don’t worry, there is no problem. They have been training in this area before. The base has specially allocated a supercomputer to analyze and study the mobility of Super-7. Now it can be done at a low altitude below 500 meters. The dragon raised its head and moved.” Bai Yanjun made Xie Kai relieved.

They are all experienced and excellent pilots, and their flight time ranks first in the country.

Even the Air Force, the pilots of the air force may not be able to fly 100 hours a year. These pilots at the base can sometimes fly hundreds of hours a month.

“Director Bai, this is our Deputy Minister of Defense, General Dastram, and this is our Air Force Minister, General Arenthal…” Mubara personally introduced to both sides.

When introducing the Chinese people, Xie Kai was also introduced.

“This is the young Chinese man who came to you to sell the 359 tank?” Alenthal looked at Xie Kai with interest.

Originally, Dastram was still wondering why Mubara wanted to introduce a young man like Xie Kai. He thought he was the younger of a certain high-ranking official in China. As soon as he heard Alentar’s question, he remembered that Mubara often used it. Take the 359 tank as an example to tell the military high-level that China has good equipment.

The 359 tank is currently the most advanced armored vehicle in the Pakistan Army’s equipment.

The Ministry of National Defense is very satisfied with such tanks after a long period of combat tests, and even has the idea to expand the scale of equipment to replace those old tanks that have been in service for decades.

The 359 tanks that were supposed to be equipped with Pakistan were secretly sold to the Persians by Pakistan.

And for such a tank, when he didn’t see the real thing, Mubara paid 50 million U.S. dollars. At that time, no one could think of the pressure.

It is precisely because of the 359 tank that Mubara has a higher status in front of the president, and even promoted to the position of Minister of Logistics and Equipment in one fell swoop. Because of this tank, not only Mubara bought it, but more importantly, Pakistan can manufacture it itself.

The tank production line has been established, and a number of basic technologies have been obtained from China, which can be used as a basis to gradually realize localization.

At that time, war will break out again. Even if China does not provide core components, Pakistan will not have to worry about losing the war due to lack of supplements during the war. At most, the performance they come up with is just a little behind.

“Yes, that’s him. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to get such an advanced tank.” Mubara nodded.

Xie Kai smiled and said in Urdu: “General, this kind of cooperation is a win-win situation, and we like a win-win cooperation.”

“It seems that you are very confident in your project. The tank is indeed very good and its performance is relatively advanced.”

“That is, the 359 tank has been tested in actual combat. Although it cannot be compared with the world’s most advanced three-generation heavy tanks, there is not much difference in attack power, defense power, and even mobility, especially in attack power. The best Defense is offense. Tanks were originally developed for offense…” Xie Kai naturally brags about the 359 tank.

Although it is now mainly selling aircraft, the tank business still cannot be lost.

The upgrade technology of the 359 tank can also continue to make a fortune from Pakistan.

“Confidence is a good thing. Fighters are not tanks. The performance of your tanks does not mean that the performance of the fighters is good, right? We need the most advanced fighters to ensure air superiority.” Dastram said with a smile .

“General, as long as the price is sufficient and the time is enough, no matter how advanced it is, it won’t be a problem.” Xie Kai pushed back without a trace.

MMP, for such a small amount of money, I still want to buy the most advanced one. Isn’t that a joke?

The US F-16 is worth tens of millions of dollars per aircraft, and the price of Super-7A is just over 10 million; even if it is Super-7B, equipped with Soviet engines, the price will not exceed 25 million US dollars, otherwise it will lose its competitiveness. .

“In the afternoon confrontation drill, let Super-7A practice with F-16, how about it?” Allenthal said suddenly, who had not said a word.

The scene suddenly became more awkward.
