Chapter 954: Aid to Iran

readx; Since in addition to the Chinese personnel at the Abbas base, there were also senior military officials on the Iranian side, so Vice Admiral Liao Hui also personally accompanied him, and the etiquette was done sufficiently. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although most of the top Chinese politicians have regarded Iran as a puppet state, it is still a reading country, and it has signed a serious military alliance agreement with China, so it is still necessary to maintain superficial respect in diplomatic etiquette.

Now, with the addition of Iran, the agreement on a military alliance in Asia with China at its core is still formalized. Almost all of the countries in Asia have joined, including the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Vietnam, the Kingdom of Annam, the Republic of Cochin, Thailand, Laos, and the Republic of Malaosia. As for the three countries of Ben, the North Philippines and Burma, due to the special political environment, they have not signed similar military treaties, but in fact they are already under the military control of China, and it is better to say that Ben also has a political axe and is a reading country, but in fact it is no different from China's colonies, and so far China has maintained a state of military occupation of Ben.

Myanmar was because of the existence of the Indian Ocean Convention signed with Britain back then, so that China did not sign a military alliance treaty with Myanmar openly, but now Myanmar is actually supported by China, and the weapons equipped are all made in China. In order to maintain overall calm in the Pacific, China has not signed a military alliance agreement with the North Philippine Provisional Political Axe for the time being, but the Northern Philippine Political Axe is a puppet political axe, both diplomatically and militarily controlled by China, and it is impossible to sign a superficial military alliance agreement in order to provoke the United States.

So broadly speaking, the whole of Asia is already under China's military control!

In terms of military control, it is necessary to station troops in these places and exert military and diplomatic pressure, which naturally costs a lot, but it brings more benefits to China, and China has obtained a large supply of raw materials and industrial products in these regions, such as Southeast Asia, including Thailand and Vietnam, which have continued to use cash crops as the economic pillar of the economic development strategy under the guidance of China, in order to provide China with a large number of minerals, and provide a large number of important basic materials such as rubber and rice.

Now Southeast Asia has become China's most important rice import area, Thailand and Vietnam export a large amount of grain to China every year, and the entire Southeast Asian region is also providing China with a large amount of oil and rubber and other basic industrial resources, so that China almost controls more than 80% of the world's natural rubber production.

On the Iranian side, it can also bring many economic benefits to China, not to mention the industrial product market, China has almost monopolized the domestic industrial product market in Iran, and more importantly, Iran's oil is also controlled by China one after another.

Although Iran was forced to accept the military alliance agreement proposed by China, they also gained a lot from it, at least after signing a military alliance agreement with China and completely turning to China, Iran no longer has to worry about the pressure from Soviet Russia and Britain, and China will stand up to it when the sky falls. And in the reason for supporting Iran, China has also relaxed restrictions on the export of military equipment to Iran, and the standard equipment that was only supplied to allies in the past is also open to Iran, such as China's more advanced F4H, F7 and other defensive air fighters, and a large number of T9\12 series tanks in the Chinese Army that have been in a backward state have begun to supply Iran, and some warships built before World War II, such as destroyers and cruisers, have also relaxed export restrictions.

In the past few years, these weapons and equipment were rarely exported, but with the acceleration of China's weapon upgrading, a large number of weapons developed and equipped before World War II were withdrawn from active service in China's three armed forces.

After all, although these weapons and equipment are outdated for China, for other countries, not to mention small countries such as Iran and Thailand, even among the Soviet Union and the United States, they are still well-deserved main equipment. For example, the T9\12 series tank, its combat effectiveness is actually equivalent to the T34 series of the Soviet Army, and the T34 tank is the main equipment in the Soviet Army. However, in China, the main tank of the army has fully entered the T18 era, and the T15 overhaul T18 tank has been in full mass production since last year, and began to fully replace the T9\12 tank. As for the T15 tanks, which were mass-produced in previous years, they are now out of production, giving up production capacity to the T18.

The T15 and T18 tanks together constitute the main tanks of the Chinese Army, and announce that the tanks of the Chinese Army have fully entered the era of 105mm tank guns.

The main tanks of other countries are still revolving in the caliber of 75 mm, even if the T34 has an 85 mm caliber tank gun in the future, but the actual depth and other power are not as good as the 75 mm tank gun on the Chinese T12 tank. In order to fight against China's T15 tank and Germany's Tiger tank, etc., Soviet Russia is actively developing and producing heavy tanks, such as the famous IS series tank in Soviet Russia, which has developed and produced many models, and the caliber of the main gun equipped on it is very scary, 100 mm to 120 mm is normal, but they even have 130 mm monsters.

I have to say that the Russians are more obsessed with heavy tanks than the Germans, as for the American tanks, the surname can not be bad, the current M4 tanks can only be said to be very reluctant, in Australia to deal with the tanks called 'Ben is okay, but if it is placed on the Soviet-German battlefield or used against the Chinese army, it is very reluctant, but the Americans are also developing more advanced tanks, such as Pershing tanks.

This is the case in tanks, and the same is true in airplanes, not to mention bombers and the like, and in fighter jets, the Chinese Air Force has benefited from the great progress of jet engines, and has successfully developed and put into service the F12 fighter, which has made the Chinese Air Force begin to fully enter the jet age, and now the Chinese Air Force has put all its energy on the development and production of jet aircraft.

The F4H fighter and the F7 fighter have been completely discontinued, because one of these two aircraft is a low-altitude air superiority fighter, and the other is a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor fighter, and the surname of the F12A is far beyond them, so it is very normal to replace them.

The F5 fighter and the F6 series, although they have been discontinued, but the upgrade and modification work is still going on, this is because they have the combat effectiveness that the F12 fighter cannot replace, such as the F5 fighter ultra-long range, up to 3,500 kilometers of range is incomparable to the F12 jet fighter, that is to say, if the Chinese Air Force B11/B16 and other bombers perform bombing missions, F12 has no way to provide escort missions, can only use F5 fighters.

And the F6 series, one is to the ground and the other is a night battle, and these two models are F12 can not be replaced, F12 fighter from the beginning of the design is designed for pure air supremacy fighters, although there are some underwing bomb devices, but in fact, F12 fighters can not move enough load to hang bombs when performing tasks, otherwise the range will be very tragic and even a thousand kilometers can not be reached, the load of an aircraft is fixed, and it can not be loaded with more fuel, As for the F12A fighter, because it was designed to shoot as a pure air supremacy fighter, the Air Force would not let the F12A hang bomb to carry out the bombing mission if there was no extreme situation.

In the case of night battles, although the F12 fighter is also developing an all-weather model, it has not yet been able to come out, so the night combat model in the F6 series must continue to play an important role in guarding China's night sky.

In the first decade or so of jet development, propeller aircraft will continue to exist, but will not be the main air supremacy mission, but will turn to other auxiliary missions, such as ground attack and the like.

In order to fully enter the jet age, the Chinese Air Force has used many achievements of the F12A fighter to other jet projects, such as the Homeland Air Defense Fighter Program proposed by the Air Force, that is, the X13 program.

The X13 plan was successfully developed after China's nuclear bomb and B19 bomber, and the Chinese Air Force thought that if the enemy had these two weapons in the future, it would not be terrible if there was no corresponding aircraft to intercept it, so it put forward the X13 plan, requiring the design of a fighter with a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour and a combat altitude of more than 16,000 kilometers, which was completely aimed at dealing with the B19 bomber.

And these surnames can not be done by propeller aircraft, so they can only hope on jet aircraft, when the Chinese Air Force's F12 is successful, the Air Force directly wants to use a large number of advanced technology of F12 fighters to continue the X13 program.

Although so far China has not had any other jet aircraft in active service except for F10 and F12A, it is foreseeable that in the next few years, jet aircraft of various types and surnames will appear one after another and fully replace the existing other propeller aircraft of the Chinese Air Force.

Not to mention the future, just now, the Chinese Air Force is equipped with nearly 1,000 F12A fighters, and the Air Force has placed orders for more than 5,000 of them respectively for the Chuzhou Aircraft Company and the Guang'an Aircraft Company, which are expected to be completely produced before 1946.

When a large number of F12 fighters enter active service, some of the original propeller fighters will naturally be retired from active service, and it is naturally not cost-effective to dismantle them directly, but China still has so many allies, they are still using a large number of old aircraft, Iran is even still using F3 fighters, these F4 and F7 and other propeller aircraft are very important military aid.

How can you say it, you treat these things as garbage, but they are treasures in the eyes of others!
