Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

For a long time, the navy and air force have been in a state of slow development.

The greatest significance of the two branches of the military is to provide air support and transport ships for the army.

As the 1980s began, international military changes were taking place at a rapid pace.

General Liu led a team to visit the West. In addition to personally boarding a US aircraft carrier, he also conducted in-depth inspections of US army units.

As it did decades ago, the U.S. Army still combats with firepower first.

Once in combat position, first use heavy firepower to bombard the target area.

Only after completing the fire coverage will the infantry begin the attack.

The attack was blocked and the infantry immediately called for air support.

The United States has a powerful Army Aviation. If any place is attacked, various types of Army Aviation will enter the war zone to provide support as soon as possible.

All along, the air support for Dragon Country’s ground forces has always come from the Air Force.

The Army is only responsible for ground combat.

The issue of land and air coordination alone involves more than a dozen departments.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. By the time the Army and the Air Force have coordinated air support, it may be too late.

The military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.

The Dragon Army must not only learn the firepower coverage of the United States, but also form an aviation force that is in line with military development.

Lin Kaifeng is an important partner of the military-industrial system, so it is not surprising for him to know that the army will form an aviation force.

the strange thing is.

How can Lin Kaifeng guarantee that the United States is willing to exchange Black Hawk helicopters for Su-27?

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you may not know that we have proposed to buy Black Hawk helicopters from the United States many times, but the United States has always been evasive. Last year, the United States reluctantly agreed to export a certain number of Black Hawk helicopters to us, but they were all civilian versions. The military Black Hawk was never intended to be sold to us."

Vice Minister Zhao mentioned that the biggest obstacle to forming an air force is that Longguo lacks sufficient armed helicopters.

The most advanced helicopter in the United States is none other than the Black Hawk.

The Black Hawk helicopter is divided into civilian and military versions.

If Longguo wants its aviation force to become combat-ready as soon as possible, it must have a military version of the Black Hawk helicopter.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Leaders, when did I say that I would only ask the United States for Black Hawk helicopters?"

"What other types of military helicopters do you plan to have?"

In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Kaifeng in disbelief.

Lin Kaifeng said: "In addition to the Black Hawk helicopter, we also want to have two other types of helicopters from the United States."

"With the above three types of military helicopters, we can not only meet the needs of building aviation forces, but also enhance our research level of aviation."

"One is the Chinook transport helicopter, and the other is the Apache attack helicopter that has been in service for many years."

There are three types of helicopters, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Lin Kaifeng used the Black Hawk helicopter, which is most familiar to everyone, as an example.

Black Hawk helicopters can transport cargo and personnel in plateau areas.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness is slightly weaker.

"Does the Army's aviation unit only have a small number of Black Hawk helicopters, and the rest of the helicopters have to be replaced by Z-5s?"

Someone sighed, and the faces of the participants gradually became gloomy.

The Z-5 is a domestically produced helicopter developed and produced by Long Guo by imitating Soviet helicopters.

It uses a piston engine, which makes a lot of noise and has unstable flight conditions.

People in the underworld gave him the nickname, Sky Tractor.

Not only does it have various problems with flying, but its combat capability is also very weak.

This is why the three armed forces headquarters have continuously asked the United States to purchase Black Hawk helicopters.

The purpose is to buy more military Black Hawk helicopters to strengthen the strength of the Army Aviation.

In view of the many problems with the Z-5 helicopter, the scientific research department has successively studied the Z-6 and Z-7.

The latter two models also have problems.

In addition to the Z-5, Long Guo currently has another main helicopter.

This aircraft, like the Z-5, is an imitation of foreign helicopters.

Three engines are installed inside, and the helicopter has a take-off weight of over 13 tons.

Due to its large size, there are issues with flight safety.

Lin Kaifeng said in a clear voice: "Old General, all the leaders, everyone knows how important the Su-27 fighter is to us. Pierce must also know how important it is to the United States."

"He wants to get rid of us with just a few melons and dates. He's dreaming! He wants Su-27 fighters, Black Hawk helicopters, Apache helicopters, Chinook helicopters, and several of each."

"If the leaders trust me and give me full responsibility for this matter, in addition to the three types of helicopters mentioned above, I will also find a way to get more wool from Pierce."

"Can you continue to pull it?!"

General Liu was dumbfounded and said, "Little guy, don't brag at this time. Pierce is an old fox among old foxes. It's already a blessing that he can exchange a few military-version Black Hawk helicopters for our Su-27 fighters."

General Liu did not hold out much hope of getting other models from Pierce.

With the idea that he would not lose out by getting the military version of the Black Hawk helicopter, and would make a profit by getting the other two helicopters, General Liu has made a decision.

Leave the matter to Lin Kaifeng.

No one expected that Lin Kaifeng would say something shocking.

In addition to helping Longguo obtain the United States' three ace helicopters, they are also preparing to continue to take advantage of Pierce.

at the same time.

The state guesthouse is located more than ten kilometers away from the Armed Forces Headquarters.

In the foreign guest suite, Pierce smoked a cigarette with a serious expression.

Assistant Nathan said: "Sir, if Longguo gets the Su-27 fighter, no matter how we ask, they will not admit it. I suggest that we report this matter to the country immediately and use official pressure to allow us to get the Su-27 fighter smoothly."

"Even if we cannot buy the Su-27 from Longguo, we will insert our technicians into Longguo's research team."

Pierce smoked with a serious expression.

Another thing was on my mind.

The Su-27 fighter is a high-altitude, heavy fighter developed by the Soviet Air Force Design Bureau over a period of more than ten years.

At the beginning of this year, the Su-27 fighter jet began to be equipped in a small number of troops. It is the most important fighter jet of the Soviet Air Force.

Where did Longguo get the Su-27 fighter jets?

Could it be that Longguo has already eased relations with the Soviet Union?

Without easing relations, why would the Soviet Union sell or give this type of fighter jet to Long Guo?

Among the Eastern Bloc, only the Soviet Union was equipped with Su-27 fighter jets.

Longguo purchased it from other countries, so this may not exist.

To take a step back, Longguo has already eased its relations with the Soviet Union.

In order to express its sincerity, the Soviet Union gave the Su-27 to Longguo as a gift.

In this way, the US global strategy will suffer a serious blow.

No wonder Longguo was not interested in the variant version of the Great Arsenal Plan proposed by himself from the beginning.

It turns out that the weapons came from the Soviet Union.

Thinking of this, Pierce's face darkened and he slammed the cigarette into the ashtray.

"Dangdangdang..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
