932 Purchasing Chinese Fighter Planes? This is an insult to the U.S. military industry
Xie Kai and they are planning how to link the national power system and hold a technical breakthrough in the core engine of the domestic turbofan engine, and the Capers group who visited China has returned to the United States.
This trip to China has greatly lost face for the Americans, but it has also given the Americans unexpected gains.
So, Capers didn't even have a break, so he went straight to the White House to find the president.
"Your Excellency, we must change the export of technology to China, which is far more advanced than our previous analysis believes, and their advanced technology is too hidden. When Capers saw the president, he didn't have any courtesy, and directly told what they saw at the end of his trip to China.
When President Reagan heard this, he was shocked, "How is it possible? Is China's science and technology developing so fast?"
Capers nodded helplessly, "Although we didn't believe it before, but when the Thunderbirds showed, their new fighter showed super high technical performance......"
For the Super 7A, a fighter whose avionics and radar systems are not very good, but whose maneuverability is impressive, as a defense minister, Capers naturally knows what it means.
Alex also made it clear to the president that the defense secretary was right and that China's technological prowess is greater than they imagined.
"So, they don't want to buy our F-16/79s, not because they don't have the money, as they say, but because they have the technology?" Reagan asked after a moment of silence.
He proposed the sale of US weapons to China.
Even the honeymoon period between China and the United States was single-handedly facilitated by him.
At present, the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union has reached a critical moment, and the Soviet Union is about to be unable to endure it.
China shared a large part of the pressure on the Soviet Union, and President Reagan even wished that the Chinese would fight with the Soviet Union.
For a country like China, once a full-scale war breaks out, whoever enters China will have to be dragged to death, otherwise, what will the United States cooperate with China?
The Soviet Union could not even handle Afghanistan, let alone China, which had a larger geographical area, and the Chinese had played the art of war for thousands of years, and even created guerrilla warfare, and if the Soviet Union really invaded China, the United States would stab the Soviets in the back from time to time, and the Soviet Union would die as quickly as it wanted.
It's a pity that China can't fight with the Soviet Union.
"They have the support of the Soviets!" Capers said through gritted teeth, "while the Chinese are taking advantage of us, they are secretly cooperating with the Soviets!"
Reagan was clearly not convinced.
How could China cooperate with the Soviet Union?
Since the deterioration of relations between the Soviet Union and China in 1960, the Soviet Union withdrew the team of experts who assisted China's industrial construction, tore up 243 contracts, and abolished 257 scientific and technological aid projects...... Then, the Soviet Union armed nearly a million tough troops to the teeth Chen soldiers on the Sino-Soviet border.
Until now, relations between China and the Soviet Union have not returned to normal.
How could the Soviet Union have started to aid Chinese technology again, or advanced technology of high technology?
"The Soviets provided China with the Il-76, and at the same time, we saw a fighter that resembled the MiG-1.44, the stealth fighter being developed by the Soviet Union...... at the Chinese fighter plant," Cappers continued to tell the president what they saw.
These are things they have seen with their own eyes, and President Reagan would not have believed them anyway.
China does not have the ability to build such a good fighter.
Design it out, maybe it's possible.
"Call them to a meeting right now!" Reagan's face turned serious.
At the beginning, an advanced armor-piercing projectile from China was found on the African battlefield, which is not an ordinary armor-piercing projectile that attacks the top of a tank without armor protection.
In addition, the emergence of new individual air defense missiles on the battlefield in the Middle East, 359 tanks, and tactical missiles with a range of more than 200 kilometers that have not been proven, have made the US government feel that China's scientific and technological strength is far stronger than it has shown.
This time, some clues have finally been discovered, and some mysterious scientific research units in China have finally begun to emerge.
At the same time as the White House meeting, Jonathan also urgently summoned Andrewson, business manager of GM's aerospace division.
Andrewson happily came to see Jonathan, and when he met, he happily asked, "Colonel Jonathan, how many orders have the Chinese placed?"
"Haven't you gotten the news that the F-16/79 crashed during the Thunderbird air show......" Jonathan looked at Andrewson, surprised.
It's been two or three days since the incident, and the feedback came back on the same day, how could GM, the company that designed and developed the F-16/79 fighter, not know about it?
Andrewson was a little embarrassed.
He really didn't know what was going on, "I'm sorry, I'm on vacation these days......"
Looking at this goods, Jonathan asked the sky speechlessly, vacation?
Won't the people from General Dynamics go to him?
"Now not only will China not want the F-16/79, but even our Ministry of Defense is ready to introduce 100 Chinese-made advanced trainer aircraft from China...... "Whether Andrewson is on vacation or not has nothing to do with Jonathan.
His relationship with General Dynamics is just cooperation.
Telling the other party the news is already benevolent, as for how General Dynamics comes up with a response plan, this is their business.
"And what about our F-16/79 being converted into a trainer?" Andrewson was anxious.
The F-16/79 has been out for several years, and until now there is no order for any aircraft, and the investment is hundreds of millions of dollars.
Anyway, this thing is cheap, and the US military has a lot of demand for advanced training aircraft.
"That's your business!" Jonathan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.
Andrewson ignored Jonathan's changed attitude and hurried back to General Dynamics' headquarters on the outskirts of Fallschurch, Virginia, after all, it was still relatively close to the Department of Defense in Virginia.
"Andrewson, where have you been?" Regarding Andrewson's whereabouts in the past few days, the top management of General Dynamics was extremely dissatisfied.
Something so big happened to the company, and as the business manager of the aerospace department, Andrewson couldn't be contacted.
Andrewson couldn't explain it, could he tell everyone that he thought he would get a huge commission right away, and he found a group of beautiful women to go out and fool around?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the latest news, the Chinese military once again refuses to purchase F-16/79 ......"
"This is old news!"
Dominic, the head of the company's military equipment, had a frosty face.
"The Ministry of Defense is ready to purchase 100 high-level trainer aircraft from China......" This news, the company should not know yet.
Dominic's face suddenly changed, "Really?"
"A contract of intent has been signed, and as long as Capers convinces the president, the special defense budget will be used and procured without congressional approval. The total value of the contract is USD 1.4 billion. ”
At this time, no one is going to investigate Andrewson's disappearance in the past few days.
"This contract must be stopped, otherwise we have no market for the F-16/79 at all. Dominic said solemnly.
As a result, the top management of General Dynamics' military equipment business department gathered together, and even the news was transmitted to the Lockheed Martin Aircraft Manufacturing Company, which has always had a good cooperative relationship with General Motors, and even the major US military aircraft suppliers, McDonnell Douglas and Northrop Grumman, which have always been in a competitive relationship, have all received the news.
U.S. government must be prevented from purchasing Chinese junk fighters.
Even if it is a training aircraft, there is nothing possible.
Dominica knows better than anyone that there is no way for the government to abandon the purchase of Chinese fighter jets by relying on them alone.
If you say, just buy one or two or two, it's not a problem.
The problem is, hundreds of them have been purchased this time.
No matter how rubbish the Chinese's planes are, as long as the Ministry of Defense buys them, there is no reason why they cannot be put in warehouses and not used, which will cost them orders for hundreds of aircraft.
The Chinese's planes are cheap, a hundred is only more than a billion dollars, but which one of the fighters in the United States is cheaper?
Therefore, this contract must not be allowed to succeed.
Inside the White House, there is a heated debate going on.
The American generals who have never been to China, and the think tanks of the White House, are extremely dissatisfied with Cappers's proposal to purchase 100 fighter planes from China.
"China's fighters are too rubbish, even if they have Soviet engines and Soviet technology, they are too far from the performance of the fighters we are equipping!"
"Even if you want to buy such a fighter plane for research, you don't need to purchase such a large quantity! This is a crime against the state and the taxpayers!"
"Even if it is used to create an imaginary enemy simulation force, like the purchase of Chinese-produced MiGs, one squadron is enough!"
"This is simply an insult to the American military-industrial manufacturing!"
There are many people who oppose it, and they do not even take into account that it was Secretary of Defense Capus who raised it.
Some even alluded to the fact that Capers had taken advantage of China to make such a decision.
Cappers was not at all surprised by these remarks.
Not even any objections were raised from beginning to end.
President Reagan, seeing that his secretary of defense was being blamed, had to speak up to stop the attacks on the secretary of defense.
"Ladies and gentlemen, China and the Soviet Union are secretly cooperating! This is a serious mistake on the part of our intelligence services! We have no information on the design and development of an advanced fighter with excellent performance...... How do we respond when war breaks out?"
In the president's words, the dissatisfaction was very obvious.
As the head of the CIA, John Toney, the acting director, felt aggrieved.
How long has it been since I was in office?
But you can't explain it.
"Your Excellency, China has always been a difficult country for our intelligence services to penetrate, Westerners are too obvious in their country, and intelligence officers in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have no access to their high-level secret ......."
In the past, it was almost impossible for any intelligence agency to infiltrate China.
The lack of intelligence is not to blame the CIA for its incompetence, but for China's frenzied counterintelligence.
In China, old ladies who usually don't care about anyone have a wealth of experience in counter-espionage......
