Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

The next day.

In the center of Dragon Kingdom, in the office of the chief.

"Building airplanes? Comrade Fang Yu's appetite is growing."

"Prime Minister, what do you think about this matter?"

After reading the telegram sent by Fang Yu from the Great Wall Military Factory.

The chief lit a cigarette and started smoking it with a puff.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Mr. Lu beside him.

Upon hearing the chief's question, Mr. Lu rarely answered immediately.

Instead, he looked at the glaring and astonishingly huge number at the end of the telegram, and his sword-like brows furrowed slightly.

"In principle, we should agree with Comrade Fang Yu's proposal."

"After all, wars now increasingly focus on air supremacy. This is an objective fact."

Mr. Lu said this, but then he changed the subject.

"However, the cost of manufacturing this aircraft is too high."

"The funding alone will require $200 million... This is almost half of Dragon Nation's military expenditure!"

"Not to mention the manpower and material resources this plan requires."

"Although Comrade Fang Yu has signed a military order, guaranteeing that he will succeed in the research and development."

"But there's always a chance of failure. If it fails, it could be devastating..."

It’s no wonder that Mr. Lu is so pessimistic about this matter.

If Fang Yu just wanted money, that would be fine.

However, to develop this fighter jet, hundreds of other parts factories would need to be opened just to cooperate with Fang Yu’s.

Not to mention, Fang Yu also wants the country to build him the largest wind tunnel laboratory in Asia.

All in all, the resources mobilized for Fang Yu alone are conservatively estimated to be over ten billion US dollars.

Even in the 80s in Longguo, this was a big project.

Not to mention, it was the 50s when everything was in ruins and the country had just been founded.

To accomplish all this, some of the country's industrialization power will inevitably be diverted.

If it succeeds it's fine, but if it fails.

Not only will aircraft not be built, but even the country's production and construction will be affected.

It can be said that the loss outweighs the gain.

"Mr. Lu's words are based on the overall situation and are not wrong."

"But I think this plane still needs to be built! We have to build it!"

At this moment, the voice of Zhang Shuai, who had just left North Korea and returned to the capital to report on his work, suddenly rang out.

"Oh? Lao Zhang, how do you see that?"

Hearing Zhang Shuai's words, the chief stopped turning the teacup and asked with some anticipation.

"It's simple, that's what the battlefield needs!"

"I just came back from the front and wanted to talk about this."

"It seems our army is winning victory after victory on the front lines. However, this favorable situation actually hides a crisis."

"First, the battle line is too long, which makes our domestic logistics supply much more difficult."

"Of the ten supplies, after a long journey and bombing by American planes, only three or four could reach the soldiers."

"As long as we don't gain air superiority, our logistics transportation channels will be blocked."

"This way, if the war breaks out again, our army will face the risk of shortage of supplies."

As he spoke, Zhang Shuai picked up the cup, drank the tea in one gulp, and spoke again.

"Second, if we don't quickly develop an aircraft to intimidate the Eagle Sauce Air Force."

"Then when the next battle comes, all our soldiers will be exposed to the enemy's bombing range."

"This time, we were on the defensive and couldn't use our guerrilla tactics to our advantage and maneuver."

"If we don't have our own planes, won't we just sit there and get bombed without being able to fight back?"

"If that's the case, this war really can't be fought..."

"The reason why the Eagle Sauce hasn't done so yet is simply because they are also gathering their forces and waiting for the right time to fight."

"In a few months, North Korea will enter a cold winter, and our logistics and transportation will become more difficult."

"If they send planes to block our transportation routes, then the 200,000 soldiers on the front line will have to eat frozen potatoes and drink snow water again..."

Seeing Zhang Shuai's worried look.

A bitter smile flashed across the chief's face, and he put out the cigarette in his hand.

As an epic-level military commander, how could the leader not know that what Zhang Shuai said was true?

However, the proposal Fang Yu put forward this time was of such importance that it was difficult for him to make a decision for the time being.

At this time, many generals from the Dragon Kingdom who came to the meeting also expressed their opinions on this.

There was a heated debate about whether to manufacture Longguo's own aircraft.

"Click——"

The chief lit another cigarette.

After a long time, he exhaled a puff of smoke and then said with a wry smile.

"Well, each has his own reasons. I think you're both right!"

"If you want to blame someone, just blame our Long Country for being too poor."

"Comrade Fang Yu has even signed a military order, promising to develop a world-leading fighter jet."

"People like this, whether they go to the Eagle Sauce or the Russian Bear, will be worshipped as ancestors!"

"We are the only ones still considering whether to build it... To be honest, our country really feels a little sorry for Comrade Fang Yu..."

After hearing the chief's words, all the Dragon Nation bosses fell silent.

The chief is right.

It has been a hundred years since the Western Industrial Revolution, and there are only a few cutting-edge industrial gems.

And aircraft manufacturing is definitely one of them.

As for Longguo, it can only be said that it has just started industrialization and is still an agricultural country in essence.

The gap between the two sides cannot be made up in a short period of time.

Think about the Bear Country back then. As a Western power, its technology was only slightly behind that of European countries. It had to spend a lot of money to recruit people from the West before it gradually caught up.

If the Russian bear had had Fang Yu when it was chasing China, I wonder how happy it would have been.

I'm afraid that no matter what conditions Fang Yu raises, he will agree to it without blinking an eye.

No matter how much money is needed, I will invest it directly.

But for me, there is clearly an opportunity to catch up with or even surpass the West.

Just for such a small amount of money, I am still considering whether to build it.

The faces of many Dragon Country bosses turned red in an instant.

Just like what the leader said, Longguo did feel a little sorry for Fang Yu...

Time passed by second by second.

The office was gradually filled with smoke from cigarettes lit by a group of Dragon Country bosses.

Almost everyone had a look of confusion on their face.

Finally, after countless brainstorming sessions in my mind.

The chief extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

Just make the decision and say it.

"I made a decision!"

"Our Dragon Country must support this fighter jet project!"

“And we have to give our full support!”

"It will take us at least 10,000 years to build our own fighter jets!
