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

Pierce looked at Nathan and motioned for Nathan to go over and open the door.

"Mr. Lin?"

Hearing Nathan's exclamation, Pierce quickly composed himself and walked to the door with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"

"How about we go in and talk?"

Lin Kaifeng said.

"of course can."

Pierce winked at Nathan, and Nathan tactfully gave way.

Immediately, Pierce invited Lin Kaifeng to sit in the living room of the suite.

Nathan quickly closed the door and came behind Pierce with his hands hanging down.

Analyze the purpose of Lin Kaifeng's late-night visit.

Before the formal conversation began, Lin Kaifeng suddenly sighed.

Pierce said puzzledly: "Mr. Lin came to visit you late at night. Did you encounter any problems and need help from us in the United States?"

Lin Kaifeng said with a complicated expression: "Today, Mr. Pierce asked me whether Longguo had obtained the Su-27 fighter jets. My answer at the time was that I didn't know about this matter and needed to consult my superiors."

"Not long ago, I learned the answer from my superiors. Longguo obtained a Su-27 fighter jet in a secret way."

Pierce and Nathan's eyes widened, their brains in a trance.

Before Lin Kaifeng knocked on the door, the two analyzed various possibilities.

Either flatly deny it, or go around in circles in a confusing manner.

All in all, Longguo will definitely not admit that they own Su-27 fighter jets.

Lin Kaifeng's straightforward admission really caught the two of them off guard.

Pierce was grumbling in his heart.

The first words Lin Kaifeng said when he visited late at night were so shocking.

Perhaps the top leaders of Longguo know that the matter cannot be concealed.

Rather than being targeted by the United States, it is better to tell the truth.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for coming here in person to tell me the answer. On behalf of the United States, I thank Longguo for his honesty."

"The Su-27 fighter jet has a vital impact on the security of our U.S. airspace. Can your country consider selling this fighter jet to us?"

The US intelligence system only knows that the Su-27 fighter is the Soviet Union's latest heavy fighter.

The enemy aircraft targeted were the US F15 and F16.

The Su-27 fighter has obvious improvements in many aspects.

As for how powerful it is and what makes it powerful.

The intelligence services knew nothing.

However, judging by the Soviet Union's technical experience in the aviation field, the performance of the Su-27 fighter must be outstanding.

Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Because of my outstanding performance in the business field, the superior has entrusted me with this difficult task. Simply put, I will be the one to communicate with you."

Lin Kaifeng didn't beat around the bush and told Pierce bluntly.

Longguo received a complete Su-27 fighter.

The original plan was to conduct a comprehensive disassembly and research on the fighter jet, and try to figure out the internal technology of the fighter jet in the shortest possible time.

Through imitation, a single-seat, twin-engine fighter belonging to Longguo was developed.

"In other words, the rumors are true. The Su-27 fighter is indeed a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather heavy fighter?"

Pierce took advantage of the opportunity and asked a series of questions.

Lin Kaifeng said: "I'm sorry, I'm not a military expert, I'm afraid I can't answer your questions."

"According to what my superiors have told me, the Su-27 fighter is indeed a single-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter, and it uses a brand-new fly-by-wire control system. The fuselage is made of titanium alloy, and part of the fuselage uses a full metal hard shell.

"It seems that a fusion technology has been adopted. Yes, wing-body fusion technology."

Lin Kaifeng's introduction sounded like thunder to Pierce.

"Considering our relationship with your country and the upcoming establishment of our Army Aviation Corps, we can sell the Su-27 fighter jets to the United States, but..."

"Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean, five military Black Hawk helicopters."

Pierce was straightforward and held up five fingers.

"We in the United States also know a little about your country's plan to form an army aviation force."

"I assure you that the previous transaction of 27 civilian Black Hawk helicopters will achieve a perfect result. The additional five military Black Hawks will be exchanged for the Su- fighters in your hands."

"I guarantee that this deal will be very profitable for your country."

Pierce was so happy.

Exchanging five Black Hawks for one Su-27 is a sure win!

Lin Kaifeng shook his head and said helplessly: "Mr. Pierce, I can feel your sincerity, but the superiors mean that since we are going to form an aviation force, it would be best to buy more helicopters."

"For example, Chinook transport helicopters and Apache attack helicopters."

Hearing this, Pierce fell into deep thought.

In addition to the Black Hawk helicopter, the other two helicopters mentioned by Lin Kaifeng are still the main helicopters of the U.S. Army Aviation.

Unlike the military Black Hawk and Apache helicopters with attack capabilities, the Chinook helicopter, code-named CH-40, is a twin-propeller, twin-engine, all-weather heavy transport helicopter.

The main task of the Army Aviation is to carry out battlefield transportation and battlefield supply.

The Chinook transport helicopter, which was born in the mid-50s, is equipped in large quantities by the U.S. Army Aviation.

At the same time, it is sold to several allied countries that have harmonious relations with the United States.

It is no secret that Longguo wants to develop its army aviation.

From the fact that Longguo has contacted the United States many times and is preparing to purchase armed helicopters, the United States has already analyzed a rough possibility.

The Dragon Kingdom has the idea of ​​forming an army aviation force.

Make up for a shortcoming of the army's combat forces.

General Liu has led teams to inspect the US military construction for many years, and the US has not been idle either.

I have also visited the Dragon Kingdom's navy, army and air force many times.

This is why the variant arsenal plan proposed by the United States mainly targets the Air Force and Navy.

Among the major military branches of the Dragon Kingdom, only the development of the Air Force and the Navy is at a standstill.

Also.

The United States also observed that Dragon Country's army structure was abnormally backward.

I can’t believe that it’s already the 1980s and Dragon Country still doesn’t have an army aviation force.

The U.S. Army Aviation Corps was established not long ago, but has developed rapidly.

Various types of armed helicopters, multi-purpose helicopters, general-purpose helicopters, transport helicopters, mission helicopters, as well as a large number of trainer aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft.

Talking about the development of Army Aviation from a scientific perspective, if we want to have an Army Aviation that can fight tough battles, we cannot rely solely on one or two helicopter models.

After thinking for ten minutes, Pierce's eyes turned and he smiled, "I think we can discuss the helicopter issue slowly. Mr. Lin, can I take a look at your country's Su-27 fighter first?"

"Okay, but please keep it a secret."

Lin Kaifeng said with a sad face: "In order to obtain this Su-27 fighter, our country paid a huge price, and many comrades lost their lives because of this mission."
