readx; In the Iranian air base outside Tehran, Iran, a large group of people are waiting in the airport, including bearded Iranian military and political dignitaries, as well as Chinese diplomats in Iran. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Half an hour later, in the tower of the air base, the staff of the Iranian Air Force had already received a signal from the northeast sky, and then a colonel of the Iranian Air Force quickly walked up to several high-ranking officials: "They are almost there!" ”

More than ten minutes later, there was a huge roar over the airport, and soon there were several small black spots in the sky, the first to land were two F5 fighter jets, and then, a huge plane, with four huge propeller engines on the wings, and a wingspan of more than 30 meters, also slowly landed on the runway.

Looking at this huge plane, those Iranians almost dropped their jaws, and an Iranian official couldn't help but ask the Chinese diplomat next to him: "Mr. Chen, what kind of plane is this?" Is this really just a transport plane? ”

Mr. Li turned his head to look at the Iranian official, and mocked in his heart: "An ignorant bun can be scared like this by just a transport plane, if you are allowed to see our huge strategic bomber group, you must not be scared!" ”

However, he despised and despised in his heart, but as a qualified diplomat, he would never give up any opportunity to publicize the strength of the motherland: "Well, this is the latest passenger aircraft produced by my country - GA-8!" ”

Of course, as an ordinary diplomat, his knowledge of this aircraft is limited to that. In fact, this aircraft is not a full-time transport aircraft equipped in the Chinese Navy and Air Force, and there are mainly two types of transport aircraft equipped by the Chinese Navy and Air Force, one is the C4 transport aircraft equipped in the mid-to-early thirties, and the other is the C5 transport aircraft that began to be equipped on a large scale after 1938. And these two transport aircraft have one thing in common, that is, they are both based on the civil airliner of Guang'an Aircraft Company.

The prototype of the C4 transport aircraft was the GA-6, while the prototype of the C5 transport aircraft was the GA-7.

Since the successful development of the GA-7, Guang'an Aircraft Company wants to launch a new generation of civil airliners as soon as possible to compete with Chuzhou Aircraft Company and many domestic passenger aircraft manufacturers.

In order to reduce the cost of research and development and speed up the service time, Guang'an Aircraft Company directly applied the fuselage of the B16 bomber for redesign, but then they found that although the B16 bomber is extremely good in all aspects, it is qualified as a bomber, but it is necessary to modify it into a civil airliner, even if there are many problems, including the expensive cost, the complex maintenance caused by the use of many advanced technologies, and more importantly, the average fuel consumption is very high. This makes it necessary for civil aviation companies to pay a greater price when operating such a modified design of the GA-8 from the B16 bomber, which is unacceptable for civil aviation companies that make money and make high profits.

After Guang'an Aircraft Company found that there was no order for the GA-8, it immediately gave up follow-up research and development and turned to the development of another civil airliner, that is, the GA-9.

But this GA-8, which was abandoned by the private market and abandoned by the military, has received the attention of the political axe high-level, please note that this is not talking about the military high-level, but the political axe high-level.

The military top brass is not interested in the GA-8, and they would rather buy more military versions of the GA-7, the C5 transport aircraft, than the GA-8. However, the political axe side is interested, and wants to purchase the GA-8 as a political axe business jet to replace the dozens of C4 transport aircraft in the political axe business jet fleet.

After the thirties, in addition to the use of passenger ships and trains, China's high-level military and political leaders have gradually used airplanes for foreign visits, and the most popular one for visiting by plane is Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun. However, due to the old and too close range of the C4 transport planes of the political axe fleet, not to mention cross-border visits, even the more than 1,000 kilometers of domestic inspections and the like are far from enough, such as Nanjing to Central Asia or Siberia, which is a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, whether it is to use the C4 of the political axe fleet itself or to borrow the C5 transport plane of the Air Force, it has to be specialized many times, which is disgusting for the group of senior officials of the political axe.

In addition, the political axe is actually not poor, although the funds of the political axe institutions have been suppressed again and again during the war, but it is still possible to allocate a few million yuan to purchase political axe business jets.

So the political axe is dominated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and several other ministries and institutes follow to promote, that is, it is officially determined to purchase more than ten GA-8 passenger aircraft as political axe business jets, in fact, only the political axe, the big head will purchase GA-8 as a business jet, and the people will definitely not use it, as for the military, people do not consider what is comfortable to ride, if there is really a long-range transportation requirement, directly use B16 bombers or B11 bombers.

The GA-8 passenger plane, which was modified from the original design of the B16, has a range of more than 5,500 kilometers, and can directly fly directly across more than 3,000 kilometers to Tehran after departing from Nanjing in China and refueling in Yili, Xinjiang Province.

And the only people who can fly the GA-8 and have the Air Force use F5 fighter jets to escort the aircraft are the real political axe executives.

Gu Weijun stepped off the plane, looked back at the huge GA-8, and sighed in his heart: "Although this plane is a little expensive, it is still very easy to use!" ”

As the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gu Weijun is busier than other political axe officials in China, basically visiting at two ends in three days, and the opportunity to use the plane is far more than that of other political axe officials, no, he just held a strategic meeting between China and the Soviet Union from the side of Soviet Russia and Stalin, and returned to Nanjing for two days, and he took this GA-8 passenger plane to Iran, ready to conduct in-depth discussions on the strategic cooperation between China and Iran, or negotiations!

Since China decided to build the China-Iran railway, it has held many diplomatic negotiations with Iran, but Iran has always been looking to the left and right, and has moved Britain and Soviet Russia out as a shield. Although the Iranian side has been delaying, but the China-Iran railway is related to China's overall Middle East strategy, whether the Iranian side wants to or not, China will build the railway to Iran, if the Iranian side has not changed, then Chen Jingyun will not mind launching an Iranian coup d'état, abolishing Iran's current political axe, and then supporting an obedient political axe.

Under such circumstances, on the one hand, China is building its own railway in China, that is, the part from Jiezhan to the Sino-Iranian border. On the other hand, in order to reduce the opposition of Britain and Soviet Russia, China and Britain were forced to make certain concessions on the Burma issue in the negotiations, first of all, by acknowledging that the Burmese Reading War was a matter between Britain and Burma, and that China had no intention of interfering, and announced that China would always remain neutral in Burma, and recalled military instructors and volunteers in Burma.

Of course, there are other conditions for these conditions, such as that Myanmar has formally issued a peace agreement to the United Kingdom, and China has also proposed that China and the United Kingdom. Although the British side has repeatedly rejected Burma's demand for reading power, it has stubbornly declared that Burma is still the territory of the British Queen. However, in the face of the aggressiveness of the peace and the threat of the Italians in Europe and the Italians in Europe and North Africa, the British needed to draw more forces from India to deploy to the above areas, so the British accepted China's proposal to achieve a limited ceasefire with Burma.

Although the Burmese side has not yet been able to obtain the recognition of the British, as long as it can cease fire with the British, it is enough to satisfy Burma, after all, Burma is still an extremely backward and poor country, and the two years of the reading power war have exhausted the last trace of potential in Myanmar, and the Burmese do not even have the money to buy ammunition from China. For Myanmar now, the British admit that peace is far less important than peace, and they need to reassure the people who have suffered heavy casualties in the war and develop their livelihoods, and the Burmese People's Army needs to lay the foundations for domination at home.

A series of concessions by China on the Burma issue have been exchanged for concessions by Britain on the Iranian issue, at least Britain is no longer stubbornly opposed to the construction of the Sino-Iranian railway, and at the same time has acquiesced in China's demand for the establishment of naval and air military bases along the coast of Iran, that is, along the coast of the Persian Gulf.

At the same time, China's military deployment in the Iranian region must be limited to a certain range, with no more than 2,000 personnel, no more than 50 combat aircraft, no more than 10,000 tons of warships, and no more than 3,000 ships on a single ship.

In other words, China's naval and air bases in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Iran can only be a superficial base, and no main forces can be deployed.

As long as the base is built large enough, it doesn't matter much how many troops are deployed in peacetime, as long as it can ensure that this base can accommodate a large number of troops in wartime, once the war breaks out, a large number of Chinese fighters deployed in Central Asia can be directly transferred to this new base, and warships can also sail through the long voyage to bypass the Indian Peninsula and then arrive.

So limiting the number of troops in peacetime is an empty word.
