Chapter 507: Exchange Overweight, Aim at the Stone Tea Falcon
Atlas Aircraft Company covers a vast area, but Lin Johnson only visited a few factories and laboratories, and did not see anything real in the form.
This made Lin Johnson very impatient. He said to Daniel directly: "The things you showed me are of no value. Can you come up with some real things? Otherwise, I can only keep technical information!"
Daniel pretended to be confused and asked Lin Johnson: "Mr. Lin, what are you referring to?"
Lin Johnson simply pointed out and said, "I proposed to exchange your v3b and v3c air-to-air missile technology. If you don't sell it, I understand that it is your main air-to-air weapon after all!"
He glanced at everyone and finally looked at Daniel, saying, "I know that Atlas Aircraft Company is carrying out improvements to the thrust vector system (missiles), research and development of infrared imaging, pilot helmet display and other technologies, and has achieved results. At the same time, you have also launched the development plan for the third generation of armed helicopters!"
Lin Johnson said lightly: "Daniel, the bargaining chips you promised before are not enough to exchange the technology in my hands. I don't need to say the importance of the aircraft engine. You also understand that maybe I can only provide you with such things in this world! Now I have a condition. We must participate in the Atlas Armed Helicopter Development Plan, and the two sides will work together to share technology! Of course, as a collaborator, we will also provide research and development funds and some related technical information. I believe it will definitely be of great help to your development work!"
Daniel was shocked when he heard the third-generation armed helicopter plan. The other South Africans present were also surprised and looked ugly!
The Shicha Falcon armed helicopter is a plan launched by Atlas Aircraft Company this year, and has received secret assistance from Israel. This project has been strictly kept confidential!
They don’t know what channel this yellow man learned about this news and how he knew it. This is really terrifying. Even East Asians know their secrets. So what is the secret of South Africa’s defense industry!
The deputy director of the South African Defense Intelligence Agency, Horton, was very silent before. At this time, he couldn't help but stared at Lin Johnson and said, "Mr. Lin, how did you know about this project? And what the forces behind you want, and what can South Africa get?"
Lin Johnson smiled and said to Horton and the people present: "Don't worry, I don't want your missile technology. After all, this kind of thing is too sensitive! I want your pilot helmet display technology, and what I just said about participating in the development plan of the Shicha Falcon armed helicopter. We can pay research and development funds, and research progress must be communicated and whether there are results must be shared!"
Horton, Monavitov and Daniel discussed it in a low voice and then gradually became louder, but they spoke in Afrika.
Lin Johnson stared at their expressions, and several South Africans were discussing fiercely. This Afrikaans is very similar to English but speaks very quickly. From the expressions of several people, Lin Johnson saw that Daniel and Monavitov tend to agree. However, Holden of the South African Defense Intelligence Agency was quite stubborn. It seemed that he did not want other forces to participate in the top secret projects in South Africa.
There was no result on this day. After returning from Atlas, Lin Johnson found that he was secretly monitored. He had been surveillanced by South African intelligence before. Israeli bodyguards reported this to him, but the situation is different now. After Lin Johnson told the top secret plan for the third-generation armed helicopter, South Africans were more careful about him!
Two days later, Daniel finally heard news that the Soviet-made weapons that had previously promised Lin Johnson to trade after the agreed time. In addition, Atlas Aircraft Company can also provide Lin Johnson with pilot helmet display technology. As for the V-series missiles and precision guidance technology, they were automatically filtered by the South Africans, but Daniel also revealed to Lin Johnson that if he showed enough sincerity, their armed helicopter plan could also allow Lin Johnson to participate, but Lin Johnson must indicate his identity to the South Africans!
It was beyond Lin Johnson's expectation that South Africans could agree to this request. It was nothing that Lin Johnson wanted to show their identity. It was impossible for both sides to cooperate in depth. South Africans could not do it without knowing the truth about him, which would be too stupid.
So Lin Johnson showed his true identity to the South Africans openly. During the second meeting between the two sides, he showed his real ID documents to Daniel present and several deputy directors of the South African military-industrial enterprises and the Defense Intelligence Agency.
"Are you Chinese American? How is this possible? Oh God, what are we doing?" Everyone in the secret room sat around the round table. After seeing Lin Johnson's identity certificate, Horton was shocked and then screamed in disbelief. Daniel and Monavitf were also extremely surprised.
Lin Johnson shrugged and said, "I am the power myself! Also, if you don't believe my strength, you can check my name. In the United States, Lin? The name johnson is easy to check!"
He smiled confidently and said, "I remind you that I have a company that makes chips and electronic products, called Dongxing Electronics; I also have several computer companies, Compaq and Dell are mine; I am also an automobile manufacturer. Saturn Automobile Company is mine; in China, I also have a huge industry, involving wafers, chips, electronic components, computer spare parts manufacturing, automobiles, energy, chemicals and other industries! Believe me, if you understand my strength, you won't have so many questions. Now I want to invest in the aviation field!"
Horton was shocked to hear Lin Johnson's boast, but he discovered a problem in a flash. He asked Lin Johnson: "Which Chinese does you own industry in China? Which China is the one we established diplomatic relations?"
Lin Johnson said: "It's the one in the north!"
"Your aircraft engine technology also comes from China?" Daniel asked a question he was concerned about.
Lin Johnson hesitated for a moment or nodded. He said with regret on his face: "Yes, these technologies are all from China! However, the technologies I have shown you are all projects that China has already been dismantled or has been shelved! The Chinese government has idle the technology that has been finally developed. The mainstream of China is seeking to introduce American aviation technology, and it does not attach much importance to its own technology, and has canceled the project's continued development plan!"
He continued to Daniel and Holden: "I have set up an aircraft manufacturing plant, and I am also committed to producing advanced aero engines. I think the future aviation market is very broad, and advanced aero engines will definitely have a market. Business is business, and this cooperation project does not involve other forces and organizations. I can promise! Our cooperation will be of great benefit to both parties, right?"
When I heard Lin Johnson say the classic Western motto, Horton with an ugly face and Daniel and Monavitov, who were at a loss, felt a little better.
"Mr. Lin, we will investigate you. We need to be more cautious about your identity!" Holden said to Lin Johnson seriously.
Lin Johnson said generously: "It doesn't matter, I'm just a businessman, and I have some small aerospace dreams! If you agree to the cooperation, I will invest no less than 50,000 US dollars in R&D funds every year to participate in Atlas' armed helicopter development plan!"
Holden looked at Lin Johnson in confusion. The 50,000 US dollars is not a small amount for today's South Africa, and may solve some problems of insufficient funds!
"Mr. Lin, are we discussing your information?" Daniel nodded to Monavitov and asked Lin Johnson.
Lin Johnson said to Daniel: "In order to show my sincerity, I can open one quarter of the turbojet engine technology I have mastered. I believe that a little transformation of the Cheetah fighter can be used! This aircraft engine is code-named WP7, and its technology is very mature, two levels higher than the Ata turbojet you use! I hope you can exchange it with me with the pilot helmet display technology. In addition, your technical strength is not enough to make such advanced aircraft engines in a short period of time. I can provide your finished products, just use gold and diamonds to settle it!"
As the saying goes, "If you don't have any rust, you will have five combat powers!"
This sentence is correct, but Lin Johnson really thinks that the outfits of domestic fighter pilots are too rustic and terrible, especially the white helmet with a red five-pointed star in the middle of it is extremely bright and dazzling!
He is very coveted about the flying helmet display technology mastered by South Africa!
The first pilot helmet in China was not developed in the 7ths and was imitated in the old Soviet helmet. It was specially equipped for the J-7 and attack aircraft in the early years, and it was the earliest flight helmet in China.
Moreover, in the early years, this kind of flight helmet was not popular with the air force. During this period, only the brigade captain or above could be equipped. It was made of fiberglass material, so it was quite heavy and could not compare to the advanced composite helmets of foreign countries.
Moreover, this kind of helmet is only used by pilots when flying high altitudes. Usually they like to wear suede flying hats. The helmet is too heavy to press the head, and the price is 5,000 yuan, etc. hinder its popularity!
Lin Qiangsheng still remembers such a story that happened in the 1990s. Wanwan was equipped with a French Phantom 2 fighter, with very advanced performance and technical level that surpasses mainland fighters! Especially their pilots were equipped with a full set of advanced flight suits and digital helmets. At that time, the fighter jets from both sides of the Taiwan Strait met. Wanwan fighter pilots often gave thumbs up to mainland pilots when they saw the very dazzling white helmet of mainland pilots, laughing at the rustic nature of mainland fighters!
If we can introduce this digital flight helmet from South Africa, at least there will be no clear reason when Wanwan laughs at mainland pilots in the future. This helmet is not rustic!
South Africans will definitely have concerns about cooperation with forces related to China. Lin Johnson has also been prepared for it. The turbojet 7 technology is to please their appetite!
Lin Johnson also knows that using the technology of the motherland as bargaining chips is a bit sorry for the country, but once these aircraft engines are stopped, they will fall behind in a few years. According to his idea, anyway, everything will be messy when the white government in South Africa collapses in the future. When the blacks come to power and cancel the fighter plan, he will get the technology back. Maybe he can bring back some interest at that time! (To be continued.)
