This conference room is full of high-level figures in the country. They are not only concerned about the country's economic development, but also the country's military strength. In everyone's understanding, war is still a traditional form, which is to compete with armies and head-to-head battles, tanks
, artillery, logistics and transportation are the key to victory. For example, in the Korean War thirty years ago, the country finally won the final victory with its firm will and flexible tactics. If the country had good equipment at that time, the result would be
It’s not just about summing up on the 38th parallel.
And the Gulf War in a few years will completely overturn their understanding of war. There is no need to send people in at all, they can do it with airplanes. With powerful technology, all your actions will be invisible.
The Gulf War also became the world's first modern war, and its emergence brought the entire world's military process to another level.
It can be said that the hallmark of modern warfare is the large-scale application of integrated land, sea and air control and counter-control systems, especially the emergence of early warning aircraft and stealth aircraft, which are inextricably linked to large aircraft.
In a sense, as long as large-scale civil aviation aircraft are manufactured, it is possible to create fighter jets and early warning aircraft one step further.
Americans know that large aircraft is the key, but the Chinese do not know that this is the gap. Now the Americans have come out to prevent China from developing large aircraft on its own. The purpose is self-evident, but the Americans are very unlucky. The top management here
If there is one more Liu Lang in the decision-making meeting, the result will definitely be different.
Liu Lang didn't speak, he just watched the people around him discussing this matter.
Those scientists are very cautious, but their opinions are also very clear, that is, they hope that the large aircraft project can be retained.
However, many officials hold different opinions. They believe that McDonnell Douglas' aircraft production line must be imported, and then China and the United States can cooperate to establish a joint venture like Volkswagen of China, so that they can develop their own aircraft in the shortest possible time.
Even Zhao Hongyang seems to think this plan is correct. After all, China and Germany have already had precedents, and it seems to be very successful now.
Experts did not dare to object too much, and suggested two approaches at the same time, introducing McDonnell Douglas's production lines while developing their own large aircraft. However, this suggestion did not gain support from others.
The reason is very simple. Developing an aircraft yourself requires too much money. The manpower and material resources consumed over the years are astronomical. It also costs money to introduce the McDonnell Douglas production line, and the subsequent series of localization processes will also cost a huge amount of money.
The country simply cannot bear the manpower and material resources required to carry out both plans together, and it is also unnecessary.
Liu Lang just looked at it. In fact, the result of this meeting had been determined. Although the experts had some opinions, they were not too insistent. Their next step was to provide technical support for this project.
"Liu Lang, I remember that you studied engine systems at Stanford University. You should have some knowledge of McDonnell Douglas's aircraft. How are this company's aircraft?"
Zhao Hongyang looked at Liu Lang with a smile, looking very happy. In their view, the country's reform and opening up has led many countries to invest in China. Even the United States has taken the initiative to come to China for cooperation. Obviously, the other party values China.
The vast market in the future, just as Liu Lang said in his tertiary industry, China's huge market is the capital for negotiation. This is absolutely correct.
"Grandpa Zhao, you are right. I majored in engines at Stanford University. My tutor is Claire, who is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences and Engineering and one of the top engineering experts... McDonnell Douglas is now the second largest aircraft manufacturer in the United States. In fact,
It also has an identity. They are also one of the top five arms manufacturers in the United States. They also developed the F━15 carrier-based combat capability two years ago. This is the third generation of the United States’ main combat aircraft and its performance is very superior!”
"Oh! Is there such a thing?"
Liu Lang's news aroused everyone's interest.
Looking at the curious expressions of the senior officials, Liu Lang sighed slightly. It seems that the country has done very little intelligence work on Lao America! The highest level of the country does not even have such simple information. What are those agents doing?
Already?
In fact, it’s not the country’s fault. The reason why the United States is very familiar with the military situation of other countries is because they have spy satellites in the sky constantly monitoring them, as well as high-speed flying “Blackbirds”. This kind of aircraft can fly faster than missiles.
, even if it is discovered, it cannot be shot down. The high-altitude spy satellites conduct all-round surveillance. Even if your base is hidden underground, there must be traces of transportation, and others can still see you.
China also has satellites, which have developed rapidly since the successful launch of Dongfanghong in 1970, but these are mostly meteorological satellites and communication satellites. Of course, they have also launched some military satellites, but there is still a big gap compared with the United States. It can be said that,
Americans are far ahead of other countries in terms of space satellites. After all, they already landed on the moon in the 1960s.
Satellite technology, especially spy satellites, allows Americans to check other people's military bases at will, which is beyond the reach of other countries. Another reason is that the speed of information transmission in this era is much slower than that of the Internet era more than 20 years later.
It was too backward. That era was simply an era of nowhere to hide. Otherwise, China’s top leaders would not have discovered how huge the military power of the two countries was after the Gulf War.
Liu Lang's words caught everyone's attention, so he continued.
"The largest weapons manufacturer in the United States is actually Boeing. Their technology is the most advanced in the world. I once heard my mentor, Professor Claire, say that they are developing many incredible weapons, such as fourth-generation combat aircraft.
Also known as stealth aircraft, they cannot be detected by radar and can fly in other countries without worrying about being discovered.
The most amazing thing is an early warning aircraft. This kind of aircraft can provide early missile warning for our own combat power from a long distance. It can also interfere with enemy aircraft communications. With the intervention of the early warning aircraft, the enemy will become blind, while our own side will become blind.
Clairvoyance and ears!"
Liu Lang's words just now made everyone very interested, but now his words began to make them become serious, because they had never heard of these aircraft.
"Professor Claire once said that large aircraft technology has many connections with military aircraft, such as engines and control systems. If a country has independently produced passenger aircraft, they must have advanced fighters. This is a causal relationship, not an accident.
Just now when everyone was discussing whether our country should independently develop large aircraft, I was thinking about this issue. The Americans naturally know this. Maybe they want us to give up large aircraft, just like they have always wanted me to
Become an American citizen!”
Everyone was shocked when Liu Lang said these words. If it was true as Liu Lang said, wouldn't the Americans have set a trap for China?
