Chapter 66 The Big Liar Liang Yuan
Ning Lei laughed and said, "It was Mr. Geng's order, but Xiaoyuan, this time you have to thank you Aunt Ning. Your Aunt Ning has helped you a lot in Peking for more than a month."
The Dongfeng 3 ballistic missile is China's first completely domestic ballistic missile. Its development began in the 1960s. The initial target was the US military base in the Philippines. After the Sino-Soviet Zhenbao Island conflict in 1969, Dongfeng 3 changed its target to densely populated areas in the central and eastern Soviet Union.
In the 1980s, the United States proposed the famous Star Wars plan, preparing to establish a four-layer ballistic missile defense system, and intercept it according to the characteristics that ballistic missiles must penetrate the atmosphere. According to the deduction of the Star Wars plan, in the future, space outside the atmosphere will be covered with various space-based laser weapons, which is very dangerous to the warheads of ballistic missiles.
When the Republic did not understand that the Star Wars plan was a scam, in order to obtain certain countermeasures in the future, the Republic launched a ballistic missile ionosphere test plan, which was to conduct a low-extension test for the ballistic missile's ballistic missile's flight altitude to be controlled at about 100 kilometers, so that the warhead should be as close as possible to the complete ionosphere, and the ionosphere interference to the detection radar and the scattering of lasers are used to cover the warheads, reducing the probability of being hit by space-based laser weapons.
In this way, the Republic's ballistic missiles can relatively bypass the second and third layers of the interception networks in the Star Wars plan, thus breaking the myth of 99.999% interception rate proposed by the United States and gaining certain deterrence capabilities.
The entire experiment was done twice in the late 1985 and early 1986. Generally speaking, the cost from production to launching Dongfeng 3 was about 30 million yuan. It was a considerable burden for the Republic in the 1980s, but although these two test launches cost a lot of money, it brought a large amount of unexpected money to the bitter Republic.
The Saudi Kingdom, located in the Middle East, learned about the performance of Dongfeng through the Republic's test launch, and finally spent US$3.5 billion to purchase a batch of Dongfeng 3a ballistic missiles.
For scientific researchers, the more tests are performed, the more they will master the various characteristics of ballistic missiles. After Saudi Arabia received US$3.5 billion in exports to the Dongfeng 3, the report on continuing to test the Dongfeng 3a has never stopped.
However, the test launch of ballistic missiles is not simply an economic issue, and it involves extremely complicated political issues during the period. We must consider the many reactions of the enemy, allies, neighboring countries, etc., so the senior management has always been cautious about continuing the test launch.
Tang Wan's idea was to get F14 to HNA. After Ning Lei left Peking to negotiate for negotiations, Tang Wan took over the support work in Peking. In order to satisfy Liang Yuan's little thoughts hidden behind the scenes, Tang Wan reported the immediate situation of the negotiations directly to General Geng Qinghua.
For the top leaders of the Republic, although they had misjudgment on the international situation at that time, they were still quite clear about the United States' insidiousness. However, due to their weak national strength, they had to seek the United States in many aspects such as economy, science and technology, and politics. Sometimes they had to do something to satisfy the strategic interests of the United States.
It can be said that the reason why Vietnam dared to be so rampant in 1988 was that the outbreak of the Nansha Battle in March 14 was that the political factors in the Cold War were far greater than economic factors such as oil and fishery. The Soviet master stationed troops on his own territory. Regardless of whether the Vietnamese government voluntarily or not, this bad guy can only be decided.
As a member of the Central Military Commission and Deputy Secretary-General Geng Qinghua, General Geng Qinghua, knew very well that the United States planned to use the Republic as a gun to relieve its own strategic pressure. Therefore, as early as July 10, when the negotiations between China and the United States were finalized, he pushed 286 to approve the test fire report that the Second Artillery had always requested. After setting the test site, he was ready to launch missiles at any time.
On the one hand, we took the opportunity to test the combat readiness level of the Second Artillery, on the other hand, we were preparing to let the United States see its own value and build momentum for the US Congress to approve the F14 fighter procurement plan. More importantly, it demonstrates China's attitude towards Vietnam's island capture, and after the F14 fighter returns to China, it lays the foundation for public opinion to attack Vietnam's island capture troops.
After hearing Ning Lei say this, Liang Yuan smacked his lips and sighed: "Aunt Ning is always omnipotent, and even a big firecracker can be controlled."
Ning Lei laughed and said, "Not as exaggerated as you said. Strategic missiles are not accessible to everyone. Uncle Ning refers to Iran's F14 fighter jets."
"This time you got a F14 fighter overhaul line and returned to China. Do you have the intention to export imitation F14 fighter parts to Iran?"
"Uncle Ning has discovered this time. Even now, you little bastard, have few words that are true. If you import F14 fighter parts from the United States and then re-export them, you can't produce them yourself." Ning Lei said with a smile.
Liang Yuan grabbed his hair, smiled honestly and said, "Americans don't think so much like Uncle Ning."
This time, Grumman agreed to export overhaul line, which is far from the D-inspection overhaul line that can replace most of the loss-making parts of the F14 fighter jet, which is required by Liang Yuan. It is similar to the titanium alloy receiver with variable swept wings, and the production and maintenance equipment for core components such as the high-strength landing gear of the landing are not available at all.
However, when Liang Yuan made the request, he never thought that Grumman could meet his requirements. It was just a means to pay back the money at the spot for a lot of money. Liang Yuan's fundamental purpose was to get detailed data on the f14 fighter's body parts and carry out reverse surveying and mapping in the future. How could it be convenient to get data directly from the original factory?
A normal D inspection and overhaul line can completely disassemble the aircraft body into parts, and then test the performance and remaining life of all parts, compare the basic data of the parts to determine whether to replace it. Although Grumman castrated the core components of the D inspection and overhaul line, it did not entangle in the detection capabilities.
Liang Yuan instructed Qilianshan to slap the table continuously, and he did not give in to the detection ability of parts. In Liang Yuan's words, in the future, the core components are provided by Grumman Aerospace, and the meat has been taken away by you. You have to leave me some soup. I spent so much money not to waste it. In our opinion, it is good for you to produce and I can also make full use of the cheap advantages of China's labor resources.
For example, if a large-scale war breaks out in the future, Shengjing has a F14 fighter overhaul line. Is it great news for the United States? Liang Yuan directly locked it in the safe of the CIA in the US, and threw out part of the plan to arm China to seduce the dirty thoughts of Americans.
Grumman, which is implementing the J-8 fighter upgrade plan for the Republic, has fully understood the real production level of the Republic's fighter jets. A country that cannot produce the same screws, can even give you the F14 engineering drawings? For example, the titanium alloy receiver and high-strength landing gear of the F14 fighter jet are simply made by the United States using only three large die forging presses in the world. In Grumman's view, the Republic needs to work hard for at least half a century to meet the industrial level of producing the F14 fighter jets.
After several rounds of confrontation, considering the core technology in hand and the huge advantage of labor costs in the Republic, Grumman, which had never seen the Republic's ability to imitate against the will of the heavens, readily agreed to Liang Yuan's request, and Liang Yuan was deceived into getting this crucial engineering drawing.
Qilianshan was stunned by listening to Ning Lei and Liang Yuan's conversation, and the alcohol in his mind had long disappeared without a trace. The amount of information in Liang Yuan and Ning Lei's words was too great. Even if Ning Lei denied that the test firing of the Dongfeng 3 ballistic missile was related to him, Qilianshan did not believe it at all after hearing Liang Yuan's plan to smuggle arms.
Liang Yuan, who was already unfathomable, became even more mysterious in Qilian Mountain's eyes, and he couldn't help but be glad for his humble attitude at the beginning. This kind of opportunity is really rare for ordinary people.
Liang Yuan and Ning Lei talked unscrupulously about smuggling arms, and they planned to be responsible for this matter by Qilianshan. It is basically unlikely to bypass Grumman Company. However, given the nature of the bourgeoisie who can sell their noose, Grumman Company will definitely be optimistic about this kind of thing.
Liang Yuan, who has a clear memory of the future, can't understand all the tricks of the United States in arms exports. Iran's F14 fighter jets can fly into the new century and have a great relationship with the indulgence of companies such as Grumman. Faced with the omnipresent smuggling of arms groups, the F14 fighter jets did not even enter the aircraft cemetery after they retired, but were completely crushed. This is the best footnote to the US government's ability to manage arms smuggling.
Not to mention that in the Iran Gate that just broke out, even the CIA made a big profit in smuggling arms in Iraq. It can be said that before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States, whose strategic goals had not changed, turned a blind eye to the smuggling of F14 fighter parts.
Through negotiations, Qilianshan has established a relatively familiar relationship with Grumman Company and has left a businessman with a profit-oriented and powerful background. It is really appropriate to use it to smuggle arms in the future.
"Uncle Ning can't get around you in circles. Anyway, you are the ones who negotiate the negotiations. Uncle Ning is just waiting for the plane to return to China."
