Chapter 2625 Kill the chicken and scare the monkey

Four Nine Cities.

August is the hottest time of the year. When the sun is scorching at noon, there are almost no people on the streets.

Occasionally, there would be a few old ladies who were too busy to sit still. They would sit under a tree, each holding a basket, chatting in the shade.

From time to time, people would say something like which girl has reached the age of marriage, or which son has not yet found a wife.

Rumble

There was a roar of cars on the road, and the old ladies who were enjoying the cool air immediately looked up and looked at the passing convoy.

After the car drove away, we continued chatting with our heads down, occasionally saying, "The car is running really fast."

In front of the motorcade, Yang Xiaotao was sitting in the passenger seat of a car, with Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen sitting behind him.

Behind the sedan was a Kuiniu armored vehicle, with soldiers armed with live ammunition sitting on it.

Behind the armored vehicle were two buses, but the people on the buses looked like Central Asians.

These people are the pilots who came from Persia for training.

In the car.

Yang Xiaotao turned around and said, "Boss Peng, these guys are not here with good intentions."

President Peng was talking with Mr. Chen about how to arrange these people. When they heard Yang Xiaotao's question, they stopped talking.

"Don't worry, it's been arranged."

President Peng said indifferently, "Since you have come to our place, you have to control your temper and practice your skills first."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood that these students would not have an easy time in the future.

"By the way, how many planes have you built?"

Mr. Peng asked curiously.

Yang Xiaotao leaned his head against the chair and said, "Thirty-two have been built so far. One hundred should be completed before the end of the year."

Since receiving instructions from Yang Xiaotao, Yu Zimo immediately adjusted the workshop tasks.

Since you can make money by producing the Desert Eagle and you can also make money by producing the J-8C, why not make money from both?

So, under Yu Zimo's urging, the workers at the aircraft factory began to work day and night.

Of course, in addition to their monthly salary, they also received a "welfare" that was no less than their salary, which was also a major feature of the Ninth Department.

As long as you complete the tasks for the nine departments, the more you work, the more you earn.

If wages are not enough to cover the expenses, benefits will make up for it.

This is also the reason why many workers are scrambling to come to Jiubu.

If it were in other factories, there might not even be any tasks, let alone any welfare benefits.

"That's good."

President Peng replied, then smiled at Yang Xiaotao, "Recently, many people have been asking about the situation of the 'J-8-C'. You should be prepared."

Hearing what Mr. Peng said, Yang Xiaotao laughed instead, "These people really dare to ask for it."

“When the J-8-C was first made, everyone stared at the Baiju and couldn’t take it down, without even looking at it.”

"Now, as soon as the J-8C was unveiled, people knew it was a good thing and they couldn't sit still."

"You really want all the benefits."

Yang Xiaotao felt a little unfair for the J-8C.

Initially, twelve planes were manufactured in Shengjing. However, apart from the two that Mr. Zhang wanted to use as training planes, the others were placed in the warehouse and no one was interested in them.

But after Persia decided to purchase the J-8-C, many people began to consider buying it.

After many test pilots flew the J-8C, they were full of praise for it.

Some flight teams even believe that the J-8-C is the best side of the Baiju/Lanju, because the combat style of the Baiju/Lanju tends to be high altitude and high speed, and they seem to be unable to cope with low-altitude and flexible aircraft.

The J-8C, on the contrary, has very good flexibility at medium and low altitudes, and is simpler to operate than the Baiju.

With the powerful dual engines, the speed is not bad either, able to reach a cruising speed of Mach 2, and the maximum speed can exceed Mach 2.5.

This is much stronger than the MiG-21 of the same period, and even the MiG-23 is slightly inferior.

It is even stronger than the Desert Eagle made previously.

After all, the Desert Eagle can only be considered as a copy of the J-8-C.

The specific performance is still a bit worse.

Of course, this is a bit different and depends on the specific situation. For example, the Desert Eagle has special dust-proof devices. If it goes to Camel and encounters sandstorm weather, the J-8-C is unlikely to be in any good situation.

Such an excellent aircraft naturally won the favor of the military.

The more I looked down on you before, the more embarrassed I am now.

Among the crowd, only Mr. Zhang had the audacity to come to the Ninth Department to inquire about the production status of the J-8-C. No one else was willing to do so.

Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen both knew all this, so they were not surprised to see Yang Xiaotao like this.

However, Mr. Peng is more concerned about the future.

"When I tell you to get ready, I don't mean I want you to prepare to produce the J-8-C."

Mr. Peng's words surprised Yang Xiaotao.

Then I heard President Peng continue, "The J-8-C is a foreign trade model. You need to research and develop a better aircraft."

"A better plane? The J-8-D?"

Yang Xiaotao understood what Mr. Peng meant.

Now that the J-8C has been sold, we need to have better ones to maintain our advantage.

At the same time, it is also to prevent technology leaks, allowing the enemy to study it thoroughly and thus lose the initiative.

Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment and then nodded in response, "That's no problem."

"Some of our technologies are being upgraded, especially radar research, which has made progress."

"This can be used on the J-8-D, which can be considered an improvement."

"In addition, the combat effectiveness of an aircraft has a lot to do with its weapons."

"The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building has already started developing the PL-4 missile. This missile can be used with the J-D, and the effect will be even better!"

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao's words made sense, Chen smiled and said to Mr. Peng, "Well, I told you that we have a substitute, but you still don't believe it."

President Peng smiled and nodded, "I'm just worried about our research and development capabilities!"

In fact, General Peng actually organized personnel to improve the J-8-C.

But the final result was not satisfactory.

The person in charge of the improvement work said that unless the main architecture is changed to improve the overall performance, the only option is to strengthen the software.

Improving the overall structure is not much different from redesigning an airplane, and the resulting design may not necessarily be better.

It is for this reason that General Peng assigned the task of developing new fighter jets to the Ninth Department.

At the moment, there are only nine fighter planes that are familiar to us!

"That's good." "You should prepare early."

"Yes!"

Yang Xiaotao quickly agreed, and then smiled shamelessly, "Well, my two leaders, researching airplanes is very expensive."

"Can you two please support me?"

President Peng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mr. Chen, "Mr. Chen, what does he mean by this is that the Nine Departments have no money left?"

Yang Xiaotao was also embarrassed after hearing this.

Old Chen even hummed, "Yes, they have no money in the Ninth Department either."

"Hahaha. Really? Jiubu is actually out of money. This is strange."

Mr. Peng laughed happily, but he was very curious in his heart. What on earth did the "Nine Departments" that were known as the richest do to become penniless?

Chen Lao saw what Mr. Peng was thinking, so he spoke for Yang Xiaotao, "Ministry Nine has many industries that make money, but there are even more projects to research."

Then Mr. Chen talked about the "Moon Landing Project". Of course, the Changyan Railway was the focus.

When President Peng heard that the Nine Departments were going to help Qinxi build a railway, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You are really brave."

Yang Xiaotao smiled awkwardly after hearing this and decided never to be the first to do so again!
"Look, this guy is starting to rub my car now."

“It’s clear that life is not easy.”

Old Chen joked, and Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and smiled, looking at the two of them with hopeful eyes.

"Okay, I think we should support the revolutionary construction, what do you think, Lao Chen?"

Chief Peng winked at Elder Chen as he spoke. The two seemed to have discussed this long ago. Elder Chen nodded immediately and said, "Then how about this? You nine units will take half of the profits from the J-8C this time."

"half?"

"Why, you think it's too little?"

"No, no, no, not less, not less, it's a bit much."

Yang Xiaotao originally thought that 30% would be enough, but he didn't expect it to be 20% more. This was a pleasant surprise.

"Look at your potential. Keep producing. The more you produce, the more you will earn."

"The country of Khasra is currently at war, maybe we can sell our planes there."

Mr. Peng spoke up at the side, and Yang Xiaotao asked curiously, "Is the situation there serious?"

Mr. Peng didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

At this time, Mr. Chen said, "Originally, these people were going to take a plane and pass through Hasa before arriving."

"Looking at the recent tense situation in Hasa, we can't do anything to provoke the alliance. In the end, we can only let them pass through Babayang, which takes a lot of effort."

When talking about the current situation, Yang Xiaotao sat in the front and listened quietly.

However, we learned some information about the international situation from their conversation.

All we can say is that the successful moon landing is like a stone thrown into the lake, causing a circle of ripples.

The whole world became restless.

First, the United States wants to strike while the iron is hot and expand its influence.

The alliance between the two wants to make an example of someone and maintain their own status.

There are also those who want to ally themselves with the United States, and those who want to curry favor with the alliance.

All in all, the world is a mess.

However, one can hear Mr. Peng’s attitude towards the country of Khasra from his words.

Because the two sides had done trade before, there are many Kuiniu armored vehicles and 107 rockets in Khasra. The combination of these two things is quite powerful.

When facing the alliance, there is some power to resist.

However, in the air defense field, Khasa has no advantage.

It is also impossible for the country to sell the Baiju to other countries. As for other aircraft, the Desert Eagle cannot be sold, and the J-8C has already been taken, so the other party has to accept the J-7.

But will the other party accept it?
impossible.

Not stupid.

The two chatted casually, and Yang Xiaotao acted as a listener.

But these are not a problem for us.

"By the way, there's a commotion over in Annan again."

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao became alert when he heard about Annan.

Because of his intrusion, what was supposed to be selfless support for Bei'an under the flapping of butterfly wings turned into paid support due to his intervention.

Compared with history, this kind of support is nothing.

So Yang Xiaotao listened carefully, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Just listen to Mr. Peng talking about the situation in the south.

No one knows why the United States chose to go to war during the rainy season.

Under the cover of airplanes and helicopters, thousands of people pushed the battle line northward by 300 miles in one fell swoop, and all the areas originally occupied by Bei'an were recovered.

This move not only won widespread applause in the United States, but some people even took the opportunity to stand up and advocate that the war would end this year.

It is not known where the confidence comes from, but I heard that the United States has been preparing for this action for a long time.

Even the rainy season did not hinder their offensive.

In comparison, although Bei'an was also actively preparing for the war, the lack of supplies and some carelessness made it difficult to defend.

As a result, the front line was completely torn apart by surprise, and the team lost a large amount of supplies and kept retreating.

It was not until they entered the mountains and took advantage of the terrain that they were able to withstand the attacks of the United States.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief.

Bei'an, in the end, held on and did not surrender.

Bei'an, which lost a large amount of supplies and suffered heavy losses in its army, immediately asked the alliance for assistance.

However, at this time, the alliance's focus was on developing the aviation industry and teaching the State of Kazakhstan a lesson, and it could do nothing to help with what was happening in Bei'an.

So, the alliance resorted to the old method. They paid to purchase supplies from China and then handed them over to Bei'an.

Yang Xiaotao guessed in his heart that the order would come soon.

I just don’t know if the current production capacity can still meet the demand.

You have to know that this is weapons and equipment for more than 100,000 people. Even if it is half, there will be 50,000.

The production of heavy weapons is even more troublesome.

Time is the most scarce thing for them.

I was thinking to myself that I would increase production when I get back.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has appeared before us, and we can't let it slip away.
