After calming the pilot's mood, the white-haired old general left the hangar and returned to the flight test yard. On the way back in the car, he felt heavy at times and smiled at other times.
I feel heavy because there is indeed an immeasurable gap between domestic and foreign countries in terms of high-precision technology. Many people know that they are lagging behind, but they don’t know that they are so lagging behind. They are so lagging behind that they have no idea about many situations.
Just looking at the video data and written intelligence of the Gulf War is far inferior to the psychological impact of a head-on confrontation with an F-14A. Not to mention frustrating the pilots, even the veteran general himself was amazed by the latter.
When we actually competed, we found that the fantasy of armies on paper was ridiculous.
The rebels on the southeastern islands have begun to equip third-generation aircraft on a large scale. Before, they thought that they had a numerical advantage, but after the battle with the Tomcat, no one mentioned it.
Pilots are also human beings, and it is extremely difficult to train them. They cannot make unnecessary sacrifices. They must be given good enough equipment, otherwise they will be allowed to die.
As for the smile, it was brought by Zhou Qingfeng.
The old general read all the information that could be collected in China about Zhou Qingfeng and the Holy Light. What impressed him most was the latter's interview with Tianyang TV.
Zhou Qingfeng refused to be interviewed on TV. He only said one paragraph on the phone. Among them was one sentence - no need to be grateful, no need to understand. I just like to stand high and be a hero.
A very arrogant young man.
When his thoughts returned to the current situation, the old general was happy and felt a great responsibility. It didn't matter where the 'Holy Light' got the 'Tomcat' from, the key was that it could really get the 'Tomcat'.
As for the secret cooperation of 'Grumman', others were half-convinced, but in the eyes of senior generals and other senior officials, this was nonsense - there was no such playful secret cooperation in the world.
But there is a saying, 'Who is our enemy? Who is our friend?'
Small words mean great things.
Although Zhou Qingfeng seems to be a thorn in the side at first glance, there is no doubt that the 'Holy Light' is one of his own, and the real money he spent is genuine, and he is trustworthy in doing practical things.
‘Holy Light’ is willing to spend money to engage in military industry, and various aircraft manufacturers in the country have been dazzled by US$500 million, wishing they could sell themselves to cooperate. Now the ministries and commissions are in a dilemma, and they don’t know what to choose?
According to the old general's idea, there is no need to choose. There are many shackles in the country, and a company like a hungry wolf needs to come in and stir things up.
It is better to simply stew in one pot and let the Holy Light take the lead in recruiting people to rebuild an enterprise than to watch the talent in the military industry continue to be lost overseas.
After all, the small salary offered by domestic institutes really cannot retain people. Cheap European and American jobs are not as good as cheap "Holy Light". After all, if the meat is rotten in your own pot, you may be able to create miracles.
Back at the Flight Test Institute, relevant news actually came - the 'Shengguang Aerospace Consortium' was registered and established. It is affiliated to the 'Shengguang Group', with its base in Nanchang, and is looking for partners across the country and around the world.
The 'Consortium' started with five projects, including the introduction of Motor Sich's aviation engines, the maintenance and manufacturing of large aircraft, the research and development of advanced fighter jets, the introduction of high-thrust rocket engines, and large-capacity communication satellites.
The initial amounts of the five projects were all US$500 million. The money from ‘Holy Light’ was thrown out as if it were no money at all.
"It is said that the Holy Light recruits talents and has attracted thousands of aerospace experts from China and Japan. In fact, it just spends money to recruit people and buys a lot of special equipment."
The news has spread in the flight test institute, and many of the details are truly amazing.
"Forming hydraulic presses are used for aircraft landing gear and the large frame of the aircraft body. There is still a big shortage in this aspect in China. It is said that 'Shengguang' spent money to go to Da Mao's company to seek cooperation, but in fact it was moving to someone else's factory."
The old general heard someone talking and laughing on the road. When he asked about it carefully, he was speechless.
Domestic heavy-duty die forging hydraulic presses will not be completed until the 12th year of the new century. Zhou Qingfeng asked his subordinates about the "Visiting Investigation Team" and ordered to contact the Ermaojia New Kramato Heavy Machinery Factory, which has manufacturing capabilities.
In addition, Kuibyshev Aluminum Plant and Verkhovsarda Titanium Plant in Damao have two ready-made 75,000-ton heavy-duty die forging hydraulic presses, which are known as the kings of die forging.
‘Shengguang’ happened to purchase some privatized securities of the Mao family at a low price, and then went to move their factories.
Two major heavy industry companies were deceived by the 'Holy Light', and their billions of assets were bought by outsiders for tens of millions of dollars - this was Zhou Qingfeng's conscience and pursuit of time efficiency.
Otherwise, if you wait another two years, a few million dollars will be enough.
The same was true for the Kuibyshev Aircraft Factory that manufactured the Tu-154. The Holy Light used the sign of cooperation and asked to build another manufacturing plant in Nanchang. But after the cooperation was initiated, it began to move other people's property.
In order to complete the factory and start production as soon as possible, this kind of relocation involves moving even the factory workers - for a moving fee of US dollars, do you want to leave? The price will not be the same after two days.
When the ruble depreciated to its worst point, one dollar was exchanged for one thousand rubles on the black market. And a Maozi telescope with infrared function only cost five hundred rubles.
Many dealers go to Moscow and buy a well-made military telescope for one dollar and get back five hundred rubles. This sounds incredible, but it is so cheap.
Yingjiang never imagined that the US dollar credit he had worked so hard to establish would be so ruined by the Holy Light. Simply and crudely, he just spent money on it.
The uncle is rich now!
He is the richest man in the world.
How can we do without spending the money we have? We must contribute to economic construction.
Aluminum factories and titanium factories are the basis of heavy industry. The F-22's machine frame is made of titanium alloy, and the F-35's machine frame is made of aluminum alloy. Zhou Qingfeng moved the relevant factories back to China and relocated them.
Just by spending money, 'Shengguang' made money by importing a large number of light industrial products, while taking away the essence of Maozi Heavy Industry. The group only needs three to five years to complete the development process that others have gone through in 30 to 50 years.
Previously, Toshiba of Japan sold four nine-axis five-link machine tools to Maozi, which caused a huge disaster. This time, ‘Holy Light’ openly went to Toshiba and asked the other party to provide after-sales service, because...
Two of the four MBP-110S installed in the Baltic Shipyard were moved back by the Holy Light. Each MBP-110S weighed more than 200 tons. After being disassembled, it was easily moved away with several IL-76s.
The assets of 'Holy Light'.
Maozi's top management didn't want to sell such a treasure at all, even Minister Cuikov rejected Zhou Qingfeng's request.
However, the top management did not agree, so the "Holy Light" visiting delegation went to the lower level. He Yulan personally went to the Baltic Shipyard and slapped boxes of US dollar cash on the desktop of the other party's management office.
To sell or not?
The Planning Commission is gone, the Military Industrial Committee is gone, the Ministry of Defense Industry is gone, the Moscow bureaucracy is overwhelmed by the economic collapse, and no one cares about the life and death of your shipyards.
If you don't want to sell it, I'll ask the people at the next level up. There will always be someone willing to sell it.
A box was only worth 100,000 U.S. dollars. He Yulan smashed dozens of boxes and sent them out. The entire Baltic Shipyard was intimidated from top to bottom.
Zhou Qingfeng was also quite conscientious and left two MBP-110S to Mao Zi to avoid a complete falling out between the two parties. However, he hired away all the technical backbone of the other shipyard and planned to build a shipyard of his own in China.
Gold and silver are all rubbish, like dung. They are all spent money anyway, and if you don’t spend them, you can’t eat them if you don’t keep them.
In China, I finally got my wish, and I easily got the high-end machine tool I dreamed of.
It’s just that the MBP-110S is too complex, and it is not easy to disassemble and install the two nine-axis five-linked machine tools. After it was shipped back to China, many problems were discovered, and the domestic machine tool manufacturers were unable to solve them, so we had to find the original manufacturer!
so......
Toshiba, come here. I have an after-sales service here that I need you to solve. By the way, I can upgrade the technology.
