Wednesday, June 22, 1983. Paris Le Bourget Airport, France, the 35th Air Show is coming to an end. At this time, the air show is open to the public, and military enthusiasts from all over the world will come to watch the air show.
Although many new aircraft have brought great shock to people, the most impressive one is the HH-0 Ghost Fighter Bomber. This plane is really too sci-fi, and it is hard to imagine that the plane can be designed and manufactured in this way, even if the brain is open. But the Black Cloud Group abruptly produced the aircraft, perhaps this is the gap between super geniuses and ordinary people.
Major exhibitors are also following up with customers and sorting out orders. Heiyun is the first time to participate in the exhibition, but the results are still satisfactory. At least Bao Zixuan thinks so. Not only did he get huge orders, but he also temporarily eased relations with the Iranians. As for why it took three years to deliver the Ghost Bomber, not only because of the order schedule, but also because of the self-protection factor.
If the Iranians get the HH-01 ghost fighter and want to bomb the town of Heiyun, Xiangjiang, they may not even cry. Never doubt the guts of the Persians because you can't imagine how big it is.
Bao Zixuan believes that after three years, the Black Cloud Group will be able to find a way to crack the HH-01 Ghost fighter-bomber. In fact, there are now, but they can't be exposed. That is a taboo for arms dealers. If you use the Black Cloud Group, you should not be in the arms business.
When Bao Zixuan was introducing products to customers, he saw an old acquaintance. Basically, that country will come over at the Paris Air Show, and it is normal to see acquaintances. At this time, the richest man in Bao is doing translation work, and it is difficult to understand some professional terms in ordinary translation. As a result, customers cannot clearly understand the performance of the aircraft. Bao Zixuan, an aviation expert who can speak many languages, cannot stay out of it.
The image of sunshine, huge wealth, elegant conversation, professional jargon; Paris, the romantic capital, has attracted a large number of female fans. Many wealthy women in Paris don't come here to watch the planes, their purpose is quite impure. Customers are God, so Bao Zixuan can only introduce products patiently.
Seeing Zhao Haijun coming over, Bao Zixuan seemed to be relieved. Hurry up and let the subordinates continue to introduce, if you have to let these banshees eat it later. Just now, several girls have deliberately leaned on him, with very obvious intentions.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, why did you come to Paris to participate in the air show?"
The person who came over was Zhao Haijun, who had fought with Bao Zixuan several times, and suddenly thought that the other party was not an admiral! But think about it carefully, although the main combat force of the navy is ships, it still needs air power. Naval aviation is an arms that countries in the world dare not ignore, so it seems that it is normal for the other party to participate in the Paris Air Show.
Zhao Haijun: "Don't disturb Mr. Bao!"
Bao Zixuan: "I also want to thank you! You must know that France is still too open, and customers can't be offended. I don't know if you came here this time......"
He didn't go on, because Bao Zixuan knew that Huaxia was not an exhibitor yet. It may be to learn about new equipment; see how far the latest international armed equipment has developed.
Huaxia first participated in the 37th Paris Air Show in 1987. Huaxia Aviation Industry participated for the first time with the mentality of communicating with the West, and exhibited three aircrafts including Yun 12II, Qiangwu C, and JJ7. , At that time, the three aircraft were somewhat backward in the world, but these aircrafts were already able to represent the level of China's aviation industry at that time.
Then at the 38th Paris Air Show in 1989, in addition to the Yun-12II, QiangwuC, and JJ7, Huaxia also dispatched aircraft including the J-8II04 prototype, which was the first time for the J-8II fighter. Appearing at the largest air show in the West represented the highest level of China's aviation industry at that time. The J-8II flew for the first time on June 12, 1984, and was finalized in 1988. It was not equipped with troops when it participated in the Paris Air Show. Although Huaxia's J-8II fighter made its debut at the Paris Air Show, it really attracted people's attention, but the Su-27 fighter can be said to have earned enough attention back then. It was at this air show that the Su-27 fighter first publicly demonstrated its classic. "Cobra" maneuver.
In this way, everyone can see the gap between China and the Soviet Union more clearly. China's most advanced J-8II fighter is just a second-generation high-altitude and high-speed interceptor, while the Su-27 is a third-generation heavy air superiority fighter. At that time, there was a generation difference between the aircraft of China and the Soviet Union, and many countries, including the Soviet Union, began to replace the third-generation fighters on a large scale.
Although it is 1983 now, Zhao Haijun and others still see clearly the gap between China and the world's aviation powers. When other countries have begun to install the third-generation aircraft, Huaxia still uses the MiG-21, an old model that was 20 to 30 years ago, and at most it is just an improvement on the MiG-21.
Once a war breaks out, the Huaxia Air Force will have no advantage. Now that air combat is an over-the-horizon attack, it is not so important to see who is braver. There is nothing wrong with developing the economy, but the defense industry cannot be completely sacrificed either.
Zhao Haijun: "This time, I came to study with a few experts and air force personnel, which really opened my eyes. The Huaxia Navy and Air Force are already too far behind, which is very dangerous. It seems that upgrading weapons and equipment is imperative. There is no strong national defense. Everything is empty talk.
Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Huaxia knew that the gap was 6 years ahead of schedule. It seems that his crossing has played a positive role. In fact, the Chinese military is not unaware of these problems, but the economic conditions and international situation at the time did not allow the installation of third-generation fighters.
At this time, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union was not very good. Although China established diplomatic relations with the United States, the exchanges had just begun. Because France sold fighter jets to Wanwan, the relationship dropped to a freezing point. None of the three major fighter exporting countries in the world will sell fighter jets to China, and they can only choose to produce them themselves.
At that time, the defense industry did not have the ability to produce third-generation aircraft, so it could only be anxious there. You still need to be hard to strike iron, and everything still depends on yourself. No amount of money can buy a strong national defense, and only a few domestic aircraft manufacturers can step up research and development. It takes a process to accumulate technology, and there are too many technical problems to be solved in the third-generation machine. According to the current technical reserves, there is no need to think about it for ten years.
It is an indisputable fact that aero-engines are difficult to break through. Fortunately, the participation of Heiyun Group gave the Chinese military hope.
The three products brought by Heiyun Group, passenger aircraft, bomber aircraft, and ground effect aircraft all have a common feature. Then the engines of the three models are all developed and produced by Heiyun. This shows that Heiyun Group has achieved attainments in aero-engines. At the same time, the three-rotor engine design scheme published by Bao Zixuan is regarded as a technological change by aviation experts from all over the world. All of this indicates that the Black Cloud Group definitely has the strength and ability to produce third-generation fighter jets.
Of course, it was impossible for Huaxia to miss this opportunity, so before returning to China, Zhao Haijun came over to test it. It is also a request for cooperation, hoping that Heiyun Group can work with China mainland to develop aero-engines and related equipment for third-generation fighter jets.
After the two came to the office, Zhao Haijun said: "Mr. Bao, I didn't want to disturb you, I know you will be very busy when you come to the exhibition. Heiyun Group is a Hong Kong company, and we can meet at any time. But the country is really anxious. Argument and analysis by an expert. Huaxia Aviation Industry is only equivalent to the level of the United States before World War II; even some places are not as good as others before World War II It is related to national defense security; no one can ignore it, so it is imperative to develop the third-generation aircraft The country can't wait, and neither can the Chinese people."
Hearing what Zhao Haijun said, Bao Zixuan was very relieved. Realizing that the gap is more important than anything else, I worry that some people are arrogant. I feel that as long as the soldiers are brave and the generals command properly in wars, there will be no problem.
Bao Zixuan said seriously: "I don't know what Mr. Zhao wants me to do, as long as I can do it, it's my duty."
Hearing this, Zhao Haijun was very relieved. These days, he has suffered a lot of anger, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shame.
As soon as the major airlines heard that they were representatives of China, they guarded them like thieves. For fear that they will copy the technology, they all know how strong the learning ability of Chinese people is. At the same time, I also know that the Chinese economy does not allow the purchase of third-generation fighter jets, so I will be polite to you. Being ridiculed a lot and not kicking you out is not bad.
In order to learn about the world's most cutting-edge military equipment, Huaxia Aviation experts do not care about their personal face. The design features and technical indicators of the third-generation fighter jets of various countries in the world can only be observed in cynicism. It can be seen how difficult it is. You must know that these people are the treasures of the country. They have been the pride of heaven since childhood. When have they suffered such anger!
