A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 748: The J-7 was exported to the United States

Yan Guixiang sat back in his seat at this time. Although he was very anxious, his face was still calm.
"Then Director Lin, when do you think we should start the formal negotiations? When do we start the transaction?"

Lin Sanqi also wanted to hurry up, so he asked back:
"You have the Xian MA60 aircraft. We have also agreed on the price. Now that the principle is set, I will have the manager come over to negotiate the contract. The sooner the better. We want to export as soon as possible."

Huang Jinpeng and Yan Guixiang felt relieved and replied with some excitement:
"Of course, of course. After the contract is signed, we can arrange pilots to fly directly to the port of Antsinalara in Madagascar.

The range of the Xian MA60 aircraft is about 2400 kilometers, but the distance from Xi'an to Madagascar is kilometers.

This means that if the Xian MA aircraft wants to fly directly from Xi'an to Africa, it will have to refuel at least four times along the way.

Although it is very troublesome to apply for routes, land and refuel, it is much more convenient than dismantling the plane, packing it into boxes and shipping it by sea.

Moreover, Lin Sanqi was also afraid that with the technological strength of the 1960s, if the plane could not be assembled properly, it would be a big trouble.

It would be terrible if, like the Indian engineers, they maintained an airplane and after reassembling it, there were still a pile of parts and screws on the ground.

Therefore, it is better for the Xianyang plane to fly through the sky intact. If the passenger plane crashes, dozens of people will die, which is a huge sin.

There is a simple airport at the port of Ancinarara in Madagascar, which is now contracted by Lingnantang Group.

Lin Sanqi was willing to spend money to turn Anzinarala Port into a "smuggling base".

The "public relations expenses" for Madagascar's top leaders and local warlords alone amounted to $2 million.

For a small country with frequent wars, natural disasters and warlords, spending so much money could make it an independent kingdom.

As long as the money is in place, you will be given the government seal and can issue and stamp any document you want yourself.

Anyway, the warlords would not obey the central government's orders. Although this official seal has legal effect, it is only in theory.

Lin Sanqi didn't care about the Xianzhou aircraft, which was actually an extra bonus; he was more concerned about the fighter jets.

"Mr. Huang, Mr. Yan, the J-7 model has been in use since the s and s. I checked online and found that there are many models. Which model are you going to sell me? What are the configurations?"

To be clear, what Lin Sanqi wants is an active aircraft that can take off directly and engage in combat immediately.

He is not really a junk collector. If he is given an early aircraft produced in 1975, 40 years have passed. Is this aircraft still usable? I am afraid it is worse than an air tractor.

Huang Jinpeng personally handed a document to Lin Sanqi:
"Don't worry, Director Lin. We no longer have any old J-7s. According to our statistics, the existing J-7 models include G-type, PG-type and trainer aircraft.

In fact, our J-7 was exported to the United States in the past, and the J-7P is the main export model. In addition..."

Lin Sanqi was shocked and quickly made an interruption gesture:
"Wait, our J-7 fighter jets have been exported to the United States? Is that true? Do Americans like our aircraft?"

Lin Sanqi thought it was incredible, just like China's purchase of fighter jets from Madagascar in Africa. No one believed it when it was announced. What is the strength of our country? What is the strength of Madagascar?
Huang Jinpeng also laughed out loud after hearing this:
"This is a true story. In the 30s, 7 J-Bs were exported to the United States, and the United States also established two flight squadrons."

If he was not sitting in the conference room of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, he would have thought that someone was bragging.

Seeing that Lin Sanqi still had an expression of disbelief, Yan Guixiang also said with a smile:

"This story has to start from the Cold War. During the Korean War, the MiG-15 beat the F-86 to a pulp, and the "MiG Alley" caused great psychological pressure on many US military pilots.

Later, in the Vietnam-Nan battlefield, the MiG-21 supported by the Soviet Union to Vietnam opened the eyes of the Americans.

At that time, Vietnamese pilots used those dozen MiG-21s to fight against more than 4 F-21s of the US Army, and the US Army was defeated. The MiG- aircraft has a unique design concept. In order to gain air superiority, it is extremely light and flexible. The thrust-to-weight ratio is very high, and every gram of its body seems to be used on the blade. The Americans have no particularly good countermeasures.

Think about it, the Air Force has always been the pride of the Americans, but their own planes can't hold their heads up in front of the Soviet ones. How could they not be angry?
What they wanted most was to get a few complete MiG-21s, disassemble them, study them thoroughly, and find out what was going on with them so that they could come up with a strategy to deal with them.

But the problem is that the Soviet Union sold MiG-21s to people who were not from the US. Basically, they were all brothers in the "anti-US camp". The US wanted a complete original product? No way. Don't even think about it.

It was not until the 7s that my country's relations with the United States eased. During a military exchange, the Americans suddenly noticed our J- fighter jets.

To be honest, the J-7 was developed by my country in the late 21s based on the MiG-.

Anyone who knows a little about the business can tell at a glance how similar the J-7 and MiG-21 look. They are simply brothers carved from the same mold.

The Americans thought, hey, since they can't get the original MiG-21, why not get a batch of this "high imitation" to study?
If we have a good understanding of our J-7 aircraft, wouldn't we be able to have a general understanding of the performance of the MiG-21 and help US pilots find ways to deal with Soviet aircraft?

In this way, the United States imported 30 J-7B aircraft from us. This was the only time that Chinese aircraft were exported to a developed country, so it was a small profit.”

Lin Sanqi frowned at this time:

"No, no, no, no, for the sake of money, we sold our country's most advanced fighter jets? We didn't keep it secret? We allowed the enemy to know our cards clearly?
How much can 30 planes sell for? How much more can we get? Who was the leader who made the decision? Isn't this too short-sighted? No one objected? Could this guy have been infiltrated by the United States? Isn't this aiding the enemy? "

It sounds incredible.

According to normal people's thinking, the J-7 was one of the main models of our Air Force at that time. Selling our most advanced equipment to potential opponents for research, isn't this just showing our underwear to others?
Can our J-20 and J-35 be exported to the United States?

According to common sense, we should firmly refuse, no matter how much money we are given.

Huang Jinpeng laughed again:
"Director Lin, I understand what you mean. Back then, we gave the data of our main fighter jets to the United States. It felt like a serious leak. Did we suffer a loss?
In fact, your worry may be a bit unnecessary when considering the comparison between the Chinese and American air forces in the 1980s.

Just think about it, the main force of our Air Force at that time was still the J-6 and J-7. Many aircraft did not even have a decent fire control radar. Fighting basically relied on the pilots' good eyesight and manual aiming. It was a typical "kicking the door" era.

Let’s look at the U.S. Air Force. In the 15s, the country’s fourth-generation fighter jets, F-16 and F-, had already been put into service in large quantities, and had long entered the era of relying on radar for beyond-visual-range air combat.

To be frank, the technical level of the two air forces was completely different. Our most advanced equipment at the time was significantly behind theirs, so what was the point of keeping it secret?

Lin Sanqi thought that this seemed to be the case.

Just like how can you still be obsessed with your poor relative's tractor when you already drive an Audi A6? It's meaningless for the other party to hold on to the data of the tractor.

Lin Sanqi sighed, and then he spoke:

"That's the truth, but why does it sound so aggrieved that my country unilaterally provides fighter data to the United States and even sells the aircraft to them for them to study?"

Huang Jinpeng took a sip of tea, looked at the young boss in front of him who could be his son, and gave a few more suggestions.

"Mr. Lin, as the saying goes, things change with time. From today's perspective, our choice back then was indeed a bit aggrieved, but from the standpoint of that time, this business was not necessarily a loss.

First, by selling J-7 fighter jets, we deepened our strategic partnership with the United States and confronted common potential threats, which was very important for China to gain international space at that time.

There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. At the beginning, the common enemy of China and the United States was the polar bear in the north. We also need to use the United States to check and balance the polar bear so that the other side will not dare to act rashly. "(End of this chapter)
