    Liao Huairen sat in the cockpit of this aircraft, which he considered to be a luxury aircraft, with emotion. He touched the soft leather seats and jokingly said to Qi Yiming next to him: "You are acting like a capitalist.  Even the top leaders are not equipped with such a good aircraft, but you use it as your transfer, and even get fighter jets to escort you. It¡¯s so corrupt. "

    Qi Yiming smiled and received a cup of Longjing tea from a flight attendant wearing a later Air China uniform. He also protested jokingly: "This is not a fighter escort. It is clearly just a transfer with us. And this plane is not me in the first place."  Yes, when I finish borrowing it this time, it will be sent to the capital as Mr. Ping¡¯s special plane.¡±

    Liao Huairen looked at the plane back and forth and couldn't help but said: "In thirty years, will our country be able to build such a good civilian airliner? I don't know anything about aviation, but I know that building a civil aircraft is better than building a fighter jet."  A little more difficult.¡±

    What he said is not a lie. Military aircraft can tolerate noise, frequent maintenance, frequent breakdowns, short lifespan and other problems. However, what civil aviation pursues is absolute comfort and safety, and the difficulty of manufacturing them is only greater than that of military aircraft.  many.  So the Chinese people built a fifth-generation fighter jet, but they couldn't build a regional airliner.

    Qi Yiming shook his head regretfully and said: "Before I traveled through time, the country had already developed a regional airliner. The truly domestically produced large aircraft has just been tested and put into use. I am afraid it will take at least ten years. Now we  The aircraft they are riding in has contributed to the improvement of the base. Even if it is obtained directly, it will be treasured by COMAC thirty years later. "The special plane the two of them are flying now was developed in China thirty years later.  The first large aircraft was the C919 narrow-body passenger aircraft produced by COMAC.

    The development path of C919 is similar to that of other aircraft developed in China, with ill-fated fate.  There have been many mistakes. Due to various problems, the progress has been unable to keep up with the expectations of the people, and the first flight time has been repeatedly postponed.  Maybe everything in China must follow the rule that good things come to an end.

    It is an unexpected surprise for Qi Yiming that the Red Alert Base can manufacture the C919. Although the C919 is a large aircraft, it has no more than 200 seats. It is still a narrow-body passenger aircraft. Although it has good avionics and new performance, it cannot fly on intercontinental routes.  , but the domestic routes are completely sufficient, and there is no problem in flying to half of the continent without going overseas.

    What Qi Yiming values ????more about this aircraft is that it can be improved on this basis to produce multiple versions of military aircraft.  If you put on a phased array antenna, it becomes an early warning aircraft, if you change the interior into an oil tank, it becomes a tanker, and if you add an anti-submarine mission module, it becomes an anti-submarine aircraft.  In short, it is an excellent civilian platform that can be adapted to produce many types of special aircraft that the PLA will need in the future.

    Some people ask why military special aircraft use civilian platforms, why not use military transport aircraft.  That's right, the PLA's first-generation early warning aircraft, the Kongjing-2000 and the Kongjing-200, were modified from military transport aircraft. This only solves the problem of availability.  There are many advantages in converting civilian platforms into special aircraft such as early warning aircraft and tankers.

    First, mass-produced civilian aircraft help spread the cost of special aircraft.  Second, the civil aircraft platform has low noise, high safety, and long service life, and is more suitable for special tasks such as airborne early warning command and anti-submarine warfare.  Third, because it is common with most parts of civil aircraft, it can be repaired and maintained directly at the civil airport station, which is another cost saving and more convenient to use.

    Considering that early warning aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, and tankers are not aircraft fighting on the front line, other requirements are far less important than cost, maintenance, reliability, etc., so there are natural advantages in converting civilian aircraft into special aircraft.

    Liao Huairen said with a smile: "In short, we now have such good large aircraft. The domestic aviation industry is booming and there is more and more demand for civil aircraft. If we want to buy foreign aircraft, it will waste a lot of our current foreign exchange."  , after all, we are not the country with trillions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves thirty years later. In addition to producing fighter jets, I think the most valuable thing is to produce civil aircraft, which are cost-effective, easy to use, and can also inspire patriotism and pride.  After all, it is an aircraft produced by our country.¡±

    Qi Yiming also laughed and said: "You have such a wonderful idea. I can tell you that the air command department of the base is now at full capacity producing fighter jets required by the Air Force and Hainan Airlines. Where can I give you this production capacity to produce large civilian aircraft?  ¡±

    "Didn't you add a tank factory to produce equipment specifically for our company? I think it is also necessary to open an air command department to produce civil aviation products. Not only can we use it ourselves, such a good aircraft  It would be great if we sell it abroad and make money for ourselves," Liao Huairen said with a very economic sense.

    Qi Yiming slapped his head and said: "I was stupid. I was sitting on such a big gold mine, but I didn't expect it. Selling airplanes and arms is indeed the most profitable business in the world. If this business canIf I do it, I can directly purchase the resources I need, and set up funds to support public welfare undertakings such as education and environmental protection.  "

    Without thinking, Liao Huairen actually aroused Qi Yiming's weird idea of ??selling arms, and quickly redressed: "Our country's arms trade must always comply with various requirements of the United Nations, and it must be done responsibly. You can't mess around."  ¡±

    Qi Yiming chuckled, patted Liao Huairen on the shoulder, and said: "It doesn't matter. Just nod your head and say yes or no. If you say yes, I will do it. If not, forget it. The arms trade is a big cake worth tens of billions of dollars every year."  , do you think about how helpful it would be if this money was used for our economic construction?¡±

    Liao Huairen was also moved by Qi Yiming's words. In 1985, China's foreign exchange reserves were only 2.6 billion US dollars, and China needed to purchase too many things from abroad, including advanced production equipment, various raw materials that were not available in its own country, etc.  At this time, China's foreign exports were mainly handicrafts and primary industrial and mining raw materials, with low added value. They were at the bottom of the value chain and were not taken seriously.  If China starts to export large civil aircraft, advanced fighter jets, and advanced tanks and artillery, if it is assigned to Liao Huairen, the country will basically be making money in vain.

    Several other companies have obtained the corresponding production technology and can follow up to create huge profits for these companies, so that they can continue to have capital injections and continue to develop technology.

    Doing this is a piece of cake for Qi Yiming. He only mines in Inner Mongolia, and occasionally digs across the border and goes underground to Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union. No one knows what will happen next when he waits for him along the coast.  A shipyard has been established in the area, which can produce marine engineering equipment and go to the South China Sea, East China Sea and other places to extract oil.  A large amount of resources can support his rapid development and continuously expand the scale of his base, even opening separate bases to increase production capacity.

    With the strong production capacity of the base, we basically utilize as many resources as we collect. The utilization rate is almost 100%, without any waste.  He can now operate up to 2 barracks, 2 tank factories, 2 air command units, and 2 shipyards. He cannot continue to add operable production buildings until he reaches the second level base.

    Liao Huairen pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is of great importance. I will help you tell the above. If it is completed, it will indeed be of great help to our country. You can also think about it yourself and what kind of solutions you can find.  Buyers, what kind of products do you want to sell? I suggest that you try to sell something that is not particularly advanced, and try to choose technologies that our company can quickly adapt and absorb, and then allocate some orders to them.  It¡¯s good for everyone.¡±

    Qi Yiming himself had no intention of making money for himself and did not express any doubts about Liao Huairen's proposal.

    After putting this matter aside, Liao Huairen remembered the purpose of this trip again, and couldn't help complaining to him: "You said you could just stay in Inner Mongolia, why do you have to come to the war zone in Yunnan? Although the war is intense  It¡¯s not big, but if something happens, neither the country nor you can afford the loss.¡±

    Qi Yiming stretched out, smiled casually, and said, "It sounds like I am an important person."

    "You are not just an important person. You are probably the most important person after the chiefs!" In fact, Liao Huairen secretly thought, maybe you are more important than the chiefs.

    Qi Yiming comforted him and said: "It doesn't matter. I'll stay at the rear anyway. It's my soldiers who go to the front to fight. No matter how capable the Vietnamese are, they can't fight hundreds of kilometers all the way from Wenshan to Kunming."  , Haha, by the way, I have never been to Spring City, so I want to enjoy it. "

    Seeing that Liao Huairen was still dissatisfied, Qi Yiming explained to him and said: "My base cannot be upgraded without fighting, so I must accumulate combat experience. Of course, I don't need to go to the battlefield myself, but it must be commanded by me.  My Red Alert Soldier has already agreed that this must be done, so instead of regretting it, it¡¯s better to do it more thoughtfully.¡±

    Liao Huairen knew that this matter could not be changed. Both of them had already boarded the flight from Dalinol to Kunming. He could only ask: "Then how do you plan to fight this battle? The leaders don't seem to have given you the highest command authority.  We only promise you a certain degree of freedom to assist the generals of the Nanjing Military Region in fighting. In other words, Commander Fu and the others have the power to deny all your battle plans. Everything is based on our victory, and it is impossible to let you  It¡¯s like fighting on a field trip.¡±

    Qi Yiming chuckled and said: "I am fully prepared. The tactical and operational support I can provide to the troops is definitely something they would never expect, but once I see it, I will fall in love with it immediately and never want to lose it again."
