You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 502: The Russians’ stuff is too rough, our own stuff is better
Between meetings.

Cheng Ziang moved closer to Jiang Chen.

Looking at the somewhat depressed Jiang Chen, he asked, "Unhappy?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and looked at him, "What do you think?"

"I'm being criticized for being disorganized and undisciplined. I'm not heartless, so how can I be happy?"

Cheng Ziang hurriedly tried to persuade him, "The commander actually has good intentions, because even a fool can see that you have a promising future. If nothing unexpected happens, in ten or twenty years at most, your shoulder straps will definitely be replaced with wheat ears and gold stars."

"We little people can get a glimpse into your future."

"Not to mention the big guys."

"But there is always a 'but'. You are too fierce, too reckless, and too easily get carried away. Just tell me how you got these first-class merits? They were all earned at the cost of your life~~~"

"In fact, the leaders don't need you to fight hard right now. In peacetime, why are you fighting so hard?"

"What the leaders want is that you learn to protect yourself and remain useful so that you can make greater and more outstanding contributions to the country, the army, and the people."

"You said you are only eighteen years old this year. Although you are gifted and your comprehension is the best in the army, even a strong man like Xiang Yu had his own death at the Wujiang River, surrounded by enemies on all sides."

"So what the leaders are most afraid of now is that he will die young, wasting such a good seedling."

"The chief's words are a bit harsh, but his intention is good."

Jiang Chen turned his head.

Look at each other seriously.

Cheng Ziang felt a little scared as he kept watching it.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Cheng Ziang touched his face and asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face?"

"I didn't realize that~~~" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "You have the potential to be a political cadre. You are so skilled in ideological work and can easily come up with words to comfort people!"

Cheng Ziang rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I was originally a political cadre in Shenfei."

"Besides, who are you calling 'kid'? I've beaten you for more than ten years. If you don't want to call me uncle, you should at least call me big brother."

"Sometimes you give me the feeling of a man in his thirties, smooth-talking, able to chat with anyone, not shy, not shy, and you have a firm grasp of human relationships. How can you be like a college student who hasn't graduated yet?"

"But you seemed like a different person after you went to heaven."

"That kind of madness is simply terrifying, as if if you were given a bomb, you would use it to blow up the enemy's bunker without blinking an eye."

"How can he look like a middle-aged man who has been tempered by society? He is clearly a hot-blooded young man~~~"

“So sometimes you seem really conflicted!”

Jiang Chen touched his chin guiltily.

Oh shit!

This old guy really saw through me.

It seems that I have to be more restrained in the future.

If they really knew that my young body hides the soul of a man in his thirties.

Wouldn't they catch me and slice me up for research?

Jiang Chen quickly changed the subject, "My 'struggle session' has already ended, why hasn't it been adjourned yet?"

"What do you mean by 'struggle session'?" Cheng Ziang corrected him seriously, "It's a review meeting."

"It seems that the second half of the meeting was mainly focused on the engine problems of this batch of J-11Bs. Although there is no problem with the aircraft, it does not mean that there is no problem with the engine. The AL-31F purchased from the Russians is still a bit behind the times, so the leader is more concerned about the progress of domestic turbofan engine research and development." Jiang Chen also became interested.

I quickly asked, "So how is the development of our domestically produced turbofan engine going?"

"The WS-10 has already been mass-produced, and its subsequent improved versions, the WS-10B and WC-10C, have even been equipped on the J-10 Raptor of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation. The WS-12 has also overcome technical difficulties and started small-scale mass production. I am not sure about the WS-15, as it is the main business of the 606 Institute after all."

Jiang Chen nodded. "No matter which generation of fighter jets, the engine is always the core technology. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the avionics system, radar system, flight control system, etc. are, it will be useless because if you can't overcome the engine technology, you will always be stuck at the neck of others. By then, the plane won't even be able to fly, so what's the point of fighting?"

"Yes, the engine is indeed the core of the aircraft, but the 606 Institute and other units have made rapid progress. It should be able to replace the Russian aviation engines in a few years." Cheng Ziang also sighed.

Jiang Chen leaned back slightly.

He said with a cheerful expression, "Of course. The Russians' stuff is really too rough. Our own stuff is better."

"So you've come at the right time. Look, our air force has been producing a lot of new equipment in recent years. We've even developed two fifth-generation aircraft. Who would have dared to think of this before?"

"When the American devils' F-22 Raptor came out, you have no idea how desperate we were." Cheng Ziang sighed.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "How could I not know? At that time, there were military fans on the Internet who imagined exchanging eight 'Eight Masters' for an F-22 Raptor."

"Now that we have fifth-generation aircraft, we realize how naive our assumptions were back then."

Cheng Ziang laughed and cursed, "Nonsense~~~ According to the old military flag simulation, an F-22 with unlimited ammunition can at least shoot down 15 to 16 third-generation F-/ aircraft and improved fourth-generation aircraft. The 'Eighth Master' is at most a second-generation and a half aircraft. Even if he uses up all his ammunition, he can't get close to him."

"So it's just imagination." Jiang Chen said.

"But to be honest, the F-22 Raptor is indeed a fifth-generation fighter with superior performance and perfect parameters in all aspects. Not to mention the F-35 can't even compare with it, even our J-20 Warhawk may not be its match." Cheng Ziang said.

"I am not trying to boost others' prestige and destroy my own ambitions, but making an objective analysis. However, I still have confidence in the 'Very Dragon', because the 'Very Dragon' has only just begun small-scale mass production and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Although the improved model cannot crush the F-22 Raptor, it will definitely have an advantage."

"The Americans, on the other hand, actually dismantled the production line in 2011."

"The main fifth-generation aircraft of the Americans is the F-35 Lightning. It's not that I look down on the F-35, but it is a medium-sized aircraft jointly developed by multiple countries. Each company has its own calculations. The Americans will not put the latest technology on the F-35. Therefore, the F-35 has an advantage against other fourth-generation and third-generation aircraft, but it will definitely be beaten against real fifth-generation aircraft."

"If you had encountered an F-22 instead of an F-35 a few days ago, no matter how awesome you are, you would be nothing compared to them."

Jiang Chen did not refute.

Instead, he nodded heavily.

Because Cheng Ziang was telling the truth.

The f-35 is really not as good as the f-22 raptor.

In one or two years, after the J-20 fighter jets enter service in the "Wang Hai Squadron" on a small scale, no foreign aircraft will dare to intrude into the East China Sea Identification Zone.

And ten years later.

Even an F-35 Lightning was shot down by the J-20 Vily.

Kill it in the physical sense.

This is probably the first battle between fifth-generation aircraft in the history of Blue Star’s air combat!

But what Jiang Chen never expected was.

In this time and space, the war between fifth-generation aircraft will come earlier and be more intense than in the parallel time and space.

It even almost completely detonated the situation in the entire world.

Of course.

These are all things for later.
