A doctor who travels through two eras

Huang Jinpeng saw that Lin Sanqi had listened carefully, so he kindly explained a few more words:

“Secondly, we also wanted to use this opportunity to get in close contact with and learn about the world’s top aviation technology at the time and broaden our horizons.

When the Americans got the J-7, they studied it carefully inside and out, and pointed out the various shortcomings and defects of the J-7 without mercy.

Although the criticisms were a bit harsh and the other party looked down on our technology, it was a rare learning opportunity for us. Only after seeing the gap did we know where to work hard.

Taking advantage of this trend, the US Grumman Corporation later signed a contract with us to help us improve the J-7's avionics system. This is the "Peace Pearl" program.

Although this plan did not succeed in the end, some technologies introduced in the early stage, such as replacing the J-7M and other models with advanced Western fire control radars, head-up displays, mission computers, etc.

It has really improved the combat effectiveness of the "Seventh Master", giving this old aircraft a new lease of life, and has also accumulated valuable technology and experience for our subsequent research and development of a new generation of fighter jets.

So you see, the final result of this deal of selling the J-7 to the United States is good for you, me, and everyone.

By studying the "Seventh Master", the Americans gained a thorough understanding of the weaknesses and fighting methods of Soviet aircraft, providing them with a rare real weapon for their air combat training.

We not only earned some foreign exchange, but more importantly, we made strategic connections, gained technical insights, enhanced our own capabilities, and improved the external environment. This is definitely a win-win cooperation.”

Lin Sanqi burst out laughing:
"Both China and the U.S. won, and in the end the polar bear was the only one hurt. After hearing what you said, I actually feel a little sympathetic towards them, hahaha."

These three people didn’t know that while they were still complaining about the fact that domestic fighter jets lagged behind foreign ones, the truth was that domestic fighter jets were actually ahead of foreign ones.

For example, the Air Force's third-generation fighter J-10 directly defeated the French Rafale fighter and the US F16 fighter in a small-scale air battle ten years later.

It was then that the Chinese people suddenly realized, “Oh my god, the enemy is so weak? Our army is so strong? What happened to the 20-year lead we were promised?”

If the J-10 can show off its might, then if the J-20 and J-35 are put into battle, won’t they be a complete loser?
In the final analysis, it is not that we are too backward, but that our country is too unconfident. We have an absolute sword in our hands, but we dare not show it.

As the country's strength increases, its self-confidence must also increase. Don't be scared by a few yells from foreigners.

After the chat, the two sides continued the negotiations.

Lin Sanqi looked at the information and said:
“Mr. Huang, Mr. Yan, I am a military novice, and there are no professional military talents in our group, so I have almost no knowledge of aircraft parameters, but you can’t fool me.

I asked to buy J-7 fighters with all weapons and equipment. I know your military is afraid of this and that and often likes to remove core components. If I buy an empty shell of the aircraft, it would be meaningless. "

Huang Jinpeng quickly waved his hand to express his attitude:

"Director Lin, don't worry about this. We did have this concern before, but I just told you that the J-7 was already lagging behind foreign fighters of the same level in the 30s. Now years have passed, and the degree of lag has widened even further.

Therefore, there is no point in keeping secret all the weapons and equipment on the J-7. We have even sold 30 to the United States, so why should we be afraid of the enemy studying and reverse engineering the aircraft equipment? So don't worry, it is absolutely original. "

Yan Guixiang also took a copy of the information and handed it to Lin Sanqi personally:

"Look, Director Lin, the aircraft's power system is a turbojet 7 afterburner engine, with an internal fuel capacity of 2080 kilograms and an auxiliary fuel tank capacity of 1530 kilograms. The maximum speed is 2.05 Mach.

The practical ceiling is 18700 meters, the climb rate is 180 meters per second, the internal fuel range is 1480 kilometers, and the combat radius is 600 kilometers. These are the best data of the J-7 fighter.

另外，武器装备包括：HP30炮1门，备弹200发；机翼下设有4个外挂点，可悬挂PL-7A/B、PL-8等近距空空导弹、火箭弹、常规航弹、反跑道航弹以及反坦克子母航弹等多种武器。”

Lin Sanqi really didn't understand what this gun was and what that bullet was, but he got the idea:
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Yan, the weapons and equipment you just listed, such as missiles, for example, can a poor country like Africa produce them?"

Yan Guixiang was in charge of the technology. He thought for a moment and replied:

"We should be able to produce most of them, but the quality is probably terrible." Lin Sanqi asked again: "If we use the level of our country in the 1960s, can we produce these weapons?"

Yan Guixiang was confused by Lin Sanqi's question, but since Party A had a question, he had to answer it no matter how stupid the question was:
"Director Lin, I personally have not experienced the 7s, but according to the information I have, my country could hardly produce the missile weapons needed for the J-30 in the s. At most, it could only produce the HP cannon."

Lin Sanqi scratched his head and thought about not buying the plane, but after all the effort he got no weapons.

What is the use of this kind of aircraft? Is it to swarm in numbers and scare the enemy to death?

"What should we do? Two leaders, let me give you another example. If I purchase a large number of J-7s, H-6s, etc. from China, can the corresponding weapons be provided by China?"

Huang Jinpeng chuckled and thought to himself, I'm waiting for you here.

Just like the blood glucose testers sold in pharmacies, they are actually sold to you at a very cheap price, and you can even get one for free if you buy a certain number of test strips.

What really makes money for pharmacies is not the blood glucose meters, but the test strips.

Test strips are consumables. If your customers want to use them, they have to keep buying them, so the pharmacy can keep making money.

However, Huang Jinpeng and his leaders are even more "evil". They not only want to make money from old planes, but also want to make money from weapons, which is the bulk of the profit.

What Lin Sanqi didn't know was that the country not only had a large inventory of old aircraft, but also had even more matching missiles and bullets. Back then, people were thinking about preparing for war, so they produced a large number of them.

As a result, in the following decades, our country has been peaceful and there have been no wars, so a large number of these missiles remained.

Later, even the J-7 aircraft stopped flying, and these missile weapons became even less useful.

Therefore, in the leader's briefing last night, he focused on the issue of this batch of supporting weapons and spare parts.

Huang Jinpeng had a smile on his face, and he had already raised the 20-meter-long butcher knife high in his hand:
"Director Lin, you also know that missiles and other weapons are far more sensitive than airplanes. As for airplanes, after some modification, it is entirely possible to publicly announce that this is a trainer, a reconnaissance aircraft, or a civilian sightseeing aircraft.

But if you want to fly a plane with missiles attached, the nature of the matter is completely different. So the risks we face in exporting weapons are still quite high.

But since Director Lin wants to buy planes, we are also willing to sell them, so we will definitely supply all weapons. This is the list we prepared, please take a look, Director Lin."

Lin Sanqi took the list and took a look at it, and was scratching his head again.

Because he doesn't know whether the listed price is too high or too low. This is the disadvantage of not having a consultant or a team. He is very passive in the negotiation.

Lin Sanqi's main purpose of coming here this time was to please the military and establish good relations with them.

So he gently placed the list on the table and nodded:

"Mr. Huang, I know the price is high, but I accept it in order to support our national defense and military industry. But I also have a request. The quantity I purchase may be very large, so you must guarantee a 100% supply."

Huang Jinpeng didn't expect Lin Sanqi to be so generous, so he clapped excitedly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. We have always been honest. Once we sell something, we will definitely guarantee its quality and quantity. We can even arrange for after-sales service. We can arrange pilots to train pilots for our African brothers."

This is a test. People in China also want to know which country the aircraft will be sold to?

Lin Sanqi waved his hands when he heard this:
"There is no need for such after-sales service. You just need to prepare the flight operation manual, maintenance manual and repair manual. My customers value confidentiality and do not want outsiders to know.

Even if these aircraft of yours were discovered, the buyers would publicly declare that they were Soviet-made weapons and would definitely not want to publicly announce that they were purchased from China." (End of this chapter)
