Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli came to South Africa and were picked up by the pickup staff as soon as they left the airport. The South Africans were very careful and pretended to be taxi drivers, with a vehicle following behind them. After driving on the road, a car came up from behind and protected the taxi in the middle.

The car drove out of the city, and Lin Johnson knew that they were taking him to Atlas Aircraft Company, where President Daniel and those people were waiting for him last time.

Through understanding, Lin Johnson learned that the Daniel family had an important voice in Atlas Company. They basically controlled most of the shares of the aircraft company, and the Atlas Aircraft Company's industry belonged to the Daniel family in disguise.

As Atlas, who manufactures aircraft, developing advanced fighter jets has allowed the South African government to purchase a large amount of money. This is the only way out for the company's exhibition. They must seize the opportunity. Therefore, in cooperation with Lin Johnson, the Daniel family should be the most active!

In addition, there are Vice President Monavitov of South African military equipment giant Amsko and Deputy Director of South African Defense Intelligence Agency Horton, who are also waiting for him.

Although this time it was not a cooperation between some countries, they also knew Lin Johnson's strength. After some investigation, it was confirmed that the Chinese had the ability and foundation to cooperate with them. Moreover, through some special channels, South Africans also learned about his cooperation with several American airline companies, including the introduction of F14 fighter jets, which made South Africans pay attention to it.

In this era, South Africa is in an isolated and helpless situation in the international community and the country's economy is extremely difficult, they especially hope that someone can help and lend a helping hand!

Therefore, Lin Johnson seized the opportunity and cooperated with them to jointly study military technology while South Africa was short of funds for military industrial funds and urgently needed external blood transfusions!

Even though South Africans doubted his motives and were afraid that they would provide support for socialist China, they were not as far-sighted as possible. Moreover, Europe and the United States cooperated with China, and South Africa.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Yang Wanli was a little uneasy when he saw the taxi leaving the city. He said to Lin Johnson: "Johnson, are South Africans trustworthy?"

Moving from the window, Lin Johnson pondered for a while and said, "No matter whether it is worth it or not, we have no loss. They are still better than us in some technologies and channels! For example, the third-generation fighter jets that South Africans are working with the Israelis to start the project, the Shicha Falcon armed helicopter project, and the medium and short-range missile technology!"

Yang Wanli sighed silently and said, "I really didn't expect that some of the technologies of this white country far away in the southern part of Africa even surpassed China!"

Lin Johnson whispered to Yang Wanli: "Not only that, South Africans can also obtain some top European and American technologies and equipment through underground channels. This is what I care about the most and want most. We must find ways to make South Africa hand over something!"

Yang Wanli nodded. Lin Johnson had mentioned to him before that South Africa does have some extraordinary means. In this regard, white people are much more convenient, and there are still some countries in the international community that secretly support South Africa, including many technological powerhouses like Israel and Japan.

When they arrived at Atlas, the two were warmly received by Daniel, and Lin Johnson also met Monavitov and Holden, one of whom represented the general leader of the South African military industry and the other represented the South African government. They specially held a brief ceremony to welcome Lin Johnson, which surprised Lin Johnson.

Horton shook hands with Johnson Lin, and then solemnly said to him: "Mr. Lin, President Bota, brought his greetings to you! During this period, please forgive him for not being able to welcome you in person. President Bota said that your selfless help to South Africa will be remembered by the people of South Africa. To thank you, Mr. President specially awarded you the title of honorary citizen of South Africa. In the future, you will enjoy all the treatment of your own citizens in this country, and you will receive many preferential policies in doing business and taxation. Welcome to invest in South Africa!"

Holden handed over an envelope and a certificate with both hands and said to Lin Johnson: "This is a handwritten letter from President Bota. There is also a certificate of honorary citizenship. Please accept it!"

Lin Johnson took two documents in shock. The South African way made him a little overwhelmed and awarded himself a certificate of honorary citizenship, which means that he became a citizen of this country in vain!

I don’t know how different this thing is from honor white people. Will the fall of the white people in South Africa become their own evidence of their own crime!

South Africans knew that they were tied to their united front. Lin Johnson used his brain but did not come up with a reason to refuse. So he had to say a few words to Horton, Daniel and Monavitov, saying, "Please tell President Bota that South Africa is a land of hope, and I am honored to be an honorary citizen!"

Holden and Monavitov, who had serious expressions, only smiled a little when they heard Lin Johnson's answer. Daniel, who was standing, walked up with a cheerful smile and said to Lin Johnson: "I think we should be more honest. The turbospin motor you provided to us before is only part of the information. Our experts found it useful after analysis. Atlas is looking forward to obtaining more technical information on motivation in your hands. Of course, we will also take out the third-generation fighter jet and the stone chafar armed helicopter to drive with you. This is beneficial to both of us!"

Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli looked at each other and nodded to him. Old Yang opened the handbag he had been carrying, took out a large hard drive from it, and handed it over to Daniel.

Daniel took the hard drive in confusion and sank his hand. He asked Lin Johnson in confusion: "What is this?"

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "This is an ibm hard drive, which contains all the information about our turbojet motor. It needs to be connected to a Compaq computer produced in 1984, or a Dell computer, and the computer will automatically recognize it!"

Daniel was a little surprised. So much information was only placed in this small hard drive, but there was no need for Lin Johnson to deceive him, so Daniel walked out with the hard drive and handed it to the engineer. In just half an hour, he ran happily.

What Lin Johnson gave him was right. The computer engineer inserted this thing called a hard drive into the expansion slot. After the computer started, a large amount of technical documents were found inside.

Daniel was a little surprised that such a small thing could hold the aviation motive information that needed to be pulled by a car, but when he saw that Lin Johnson did provide them with turbospin information, he didn't care about other things.

At the beginning of the planning of the South African Cheetah Fighter Project in 1980, Atlas had already clearly known that the Cheetah Fighter was just a transitional project. No matter how much the Phantom III fighter was improved, it would not be able to compete with the real third-generation aircraft!

Due to the arms embargo, South Africa cannot directly purchase advanced fighter jets from abroad, so it can only move towards the path of self-development. It can be said that at the same time, China was working hard to negotiate with Europe and the United States on weapons export issues and reached some gratifying technical projects. At the same time, South Africans chose a more difficult path.

In the first step, engineering experts put forward design requirements. Due to the numerous parameters, this step lasted for almost a year.

The third-generation fighter jets in the 1980s had similar aspects: First, the thrust-to-weight ratio reached 7 or higher, which can only be achieved in this regard by Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union; Second, the wingload should be reduced as much as possible to improve maneuverability, South Africa invested heavily in building aviation scientific research bases, and Israel also quietly used their wind tunnel test data; Third, it had the potential to install vector thrust nozzles, and South Africans have great ambitions and had high expectations for self-developed third-generation fighter jets; Fourth, the line-transmission control system (fly-transmission flight control) achieves worry-free control and enhances maneuverability; Five, advanced avionics, mainly obtained through Israeli cooperation; Six, the "glass" cockpit system is realized.

South Africa's self-developed fighter jets should try to meet the above characteristics and can be obtained from other features. South Africans have channels, but the biggest problem is that they cannot obtain advanced and large thrust aviation motivations!

They only have the Ata 9k5o motor from France to choose from. This motivation is too old and belongs to the low-end cargo in the second-generation aviation industry. For this reason, the Cheetah fighter had to use a large amount of composite materials to reduce weight to cope with small thrust motors and reduce wing loads.

At the same time, they are constantly tracking the latest international technology. South Africa cannot afford a single-purpose fighter, which must be a multi-purpose fighter.

They developed a third-generation fighter project with higher requirements and were named "Sculptor". "Sculptor" has no special meaning and is a randomly selected code name.

Atlas Aircraft Company has assembled the Phantom F1 under license and undertakes all overhaul and renovation tasks of the South African Air Force Phantom Fleet, so it has successfully become the main contractor of the "Sculptor" project. In addition, many excellent South African scientific research companies have become their spare parts providers.

But don’t underestimate the technology and strength of South Africans. If we give a ranking to countries that can develop jet fighters in the 1980s, China and South Africa are really just a little bit worse, and perhaps in some aspects!

In the past two years, the sculptor fighter has gradually taken shape, which is a small single fighter. During the development process, South Africans also received help from foreign experts. They hired several engineers from France to participate in the Phantom 2ooo project, and the Lion fighter technology provided by Israel is available for reference!

Lin Johnson's deeper intention is to join forces with South Africa and Israel, and to participate in the three parties, secretly form a third-generation fighter research organization, called the "Dark Fighter Family", with the intention of obtaining technology by any means!
