Chapter 1155: pass the buck

This matter sounds a bit weird at first, but when you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
When the "Flying Leopard" was still in the project demonstration stage, one of the requirements put forward by the Air Force was an indicator that they valued very much-this aircraft had to be "two-seater side by side", that is to say, the two in the cockpit The pilots are arranged in parallel.
Of course, such a request is not due to the air force's stubbornness, but for specific reasons: the original design goal of the fighter plane was to undertake a large number of ground and sea attacks, and it would inevitably need to be equipped with more sophisticated radar and electronic and optical systems. The parallel two-seater layout can better ensure the communication between full-time pilots and full-time equipment operators, and will undoubtedly ensure closer cooperation between the two sides. Moreover, from the perspective of international trends, fighters performing similar tasks, such as the Americans in 1963 The A6 in service, the F111 in service in 1967, and the F111 in service by the Soviets in 1974 all have this layout.
However, under the "parallel two-seater" layout, the cross-sectional area of ​​the fighter aircraft will inevitably increase, and accordingly its flight resistance will also increase. Under the same overload, it will affect the entire bearing structure and force. All models put forward higher requirements, which brought many unpredictable changes to the entire aerodynamic layout, greatly increasing the design difficulty, manufacturing process, and material requirements, and because of the increase in resistance, in order to achieve the same flight performance indicators , It also needs a more powerful engine, which greatly increases the difficulty of developing new fighters.
Therefore, after a series of demonstrations, the scientific research team led by Chen Yijian proposed that in order to reduce the scientific research risk of the new fighter, the "tandem two-seater", that is, the arrangement of two pilots arranged one after the other is more in line with China's current objective and actual industrial capabilities. , The Air Force was very dissatisfied. At that time, it took the challenge and withdrew from the joint development team, leaving only the Navy, which has more urgent requirements for this type of fighter, to independently support this project.
The navy was really anxious back then. It was in a state where it was ready to find rice, because unlike the air force, which was mainly responsible for homeland air defense, the navy needed to defend approximately 3 million square kilometers of maritime airspace. At that time, it was in the late 1970s. The only fighters that can be used are the well-known short legs of "J-6", "J-7" and "Qiang Five". Based on the southernmost Qiongzhou Lingshui Airport under its jurisdiction, the combat radius is only as large as the Xisha Islands. It can only barely cover, let alone the waters of the Nansha Islands that are far away from the shore, and the small movements of the countries surrounding the Nansha Islands are very special...
Of course, the current situation is that the Navy’s persistence has been rewarded beyond their imagination. Under Tan Zhenhua’s toss, the current "Flying Leopard" fighter jets, both in performance and progress, have greatly exceeded the Navy’s hopes and requirements. Even the unbeatable US fighter F16 has become a defeated player, how can this not make Deputy Commander Wang overjoyed?
We must know that the bottom line of the Navy’s requirements for the Flying Leopard was only to
reserve a certain level of self-defense capability under the premise of having perfect ground and sea combat capabilities
. I never expected this type of fighter to be able to dominate the air battle. Play air combat in hand-to-hand combat!
Planting beans and getting melons, the Navy regards the current "Flying Leopard" fighter as a treasure, and it is more eager to equip this fighter as soon as possible. Therefore, Deputy Commander Wang came to Xijing this time. One of the important things The mission is to promote the mass production, acceptance, and installation of the "Flying Leopard" fighters by the naval aviation as soon as possible. The goal is to obtain at least two regiments of 48 fighters before the 1990s!
Then he met the head of Lin who also came to the door. The two had a "friendly" exchange. During the period, head of Lin proposed that he hoped that the naval aviation would receive the "Flying Leopard" from the first regiment. , His request to cede the indicators of the second regiment to the Air Force was naturally rejected by him!
What's a joke, but you quit voluntarily at the beginning. For this, you almost turned the "Flying Leopard" project into pornography. Now that the plane is ready, I want to pick up the ready-made cheapness-there is that in this world. Is it a good thing? Can't be a space army, okay?
Although the divestment of the "Flying Leopard" project is not on the back of your head, Lin Da, who took office in 1985, but is it the handle of your Air Force?
However, even Deputy Commander Wang did not expect that this Chief Lin was not only a strong character who would never give up unless he did not achieve his goals, but his brain was also very good-in fact, this is also nonsense, his brain is not good, he can be an air force Deputy commander?
Only after the next day, Chief Lin directed his idea to another vital person-this is what Tan Zhenhua deserves. Who told him that he would not come early or late? It happened that he came to Xijing at this juncture? It happened to hit the gun.
"Uh, that, Chief Lin, do you mean that you want me to give you a regiment of the fighter jets that I plan to export to Ibos and Haosha?"
Tan Zhenhua was dumbfounded.
He really didn't expect that, just after hearing the "brave record" of Deputy Commander Wang giving Deputy Commander Lin a soft nail on the road, he still felt a bit of a hurry to watch the excitement, but he turned his head. He slammed his forehead firmly.
So, be a human being, and you must not just gloat, but maybe it will be your turn when the disaster happens.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Chief Lin said naturally: "Which country has advanced weapons that are not equipped for one's own country first? Is there any problem?"
It makes sense to say so, but why do you always feel that something is wrong? Tan Zhenhua couldn't help but cast his help-seeking eyes at Chen Yijian, only to find that the Chief Master was looking up at the sky, a look of the old being present and it was nothing to do with him. He immediately understood in his heart-come on, this is probably early I knew that Chief Lin would come out like this. Maybe, Chief Lin made the same request to Chen Yijian long ago, but what about Chen Yijian? It is possible that he kicked the ball to his side and pushed his small body out as a shield.
This made him a little bit dumbfounded-the products he invested in research and development were "snatched up", which is of course a good thing. Although the equipment of the China Air and Sea Army did not get much actual benefits, as the main investor of the "Flying Leopard", Seeing that the products that I have spent so much effort on have been recognized by everyone, I must be happy.
The beauty comes back to the beauty, but the real problems have to be faced-the contract with Alian, which was just discussed not long ago, can still be delayed in the delivery time, but it is with Ibos and Haosha. The contracts have all been signed, and these must be implemented strictly according to the schedule, and the implementation of the contract with Haosha also involves Tan Zhenhua's continued digging into the corner of the "Yemamai" military purchase case. This is all in 1987. Years later, the two and Iraqi sides who have been exhausted from the fight seem to be unable to carry on. At that time, it is not so realistic to imagine that selling fighters as easily and happily as it is now, maybe even the contracts that have been signed but not yet executed. All are likely to be reduced, so delay is absolutely impossible.
However, looking at the aggressive look of the head of Lin in front of him, he didn't shed any blood...If he didn't give him some practical benefits, it seemed that he couldn't let him go?
What to do then?
That is, Tan Zhenhua, whose mind is turning fast. He glanced at Lin Hu, who was staring at him with piercing eyes. Then he looked at Wang Xugong, who was smiling and watching fire from across the bank, and finally glanced at holding hands and looking at the sky as if nothing was wrong. Guan Ji's Chen Yijian couldn't help but gritted his teeth and made a cruel attack. He said you all kicked the ball to me, right?
Okay, I'll go on!
