    At the Grumman test flight base in Long Island, New York, this was the first time Qi Yiming saw a real F-14 Tomcat fighter jet.  Although the evaluation of this fighter is divided into two levels, Qi Yiming still likes this classic variable-sweep wing fighter in his heart.

    Qi Yiming himself admitted that the biggest purpose of doing this was to satisfy his own selfishness. In addition to wanting to see the red tomcat with the August 1st Red Star military emblem, he was also very interested in being able to operate such a large and complex machine.  event, with a special desire for challenge and a sense of self-sufficiency in my heart.

    ¡°The manifestation of China¡¯s diplomatic strength, the advertising of FC-1 exports, the promotion of relations with the United States, the acquisition of carrier-based aircraft technology, etc., are actually not as important as the reason why Qi Yiming feels good about himself.

    Beside him, Billworth looked at Qi Yiming, who was somewhat distracted, and said to him: "Mr. Qi, don't worry, Grumman is already operating at full capacity and is lobbying several heavyweight members of Congress.  And we, the Reagan cabinet, have also started to take action, and the probability of getting this thing done is more than 70%.¡±

    Qi Yiming chuckled and added: "In the past few days, a former US admiral has made remarks saying that the United States should further arm China and win over the country to fight against the Soviet Union, forming a two-line flanking attack on the Soviet Union. This should be done by you.  It¡¯s your handiwork.¡±

    Bierworth smiled innocently, neither admitting nor denying.  In fact, there are many methods of lobbying. Relying on the expression of opinions by retired senior military officers, famous academic scholars, and official and semi-official strategic think tanks can itself be an excellent means of lobbying.  Some politicians and people have read these well-logical and well-spoken news, and many will have a favorable impression of or support certain policies.  The idea of ??arming the Rabbit Family to overthrow the Mao Xiong has been around for a long time, especially after the Rabbit Family defeated the Yue Monkey and handed over the vote to Yingjiang.  Countless famous and crazy scholars believe that it is possible to win over China and fight against the Soviet Union.

    Bierworth said to Qi Yiming again: "To be honest, Mr. Qi, your personal political skills are not like someone who came from a communist country at all, but more like a seasoned American politician. I guess, even  The chessboard that moves the three points of Iran, the United States, and China was probably set up by you yourself. Such a major event is simply unimaginable. You can move two world powers and a region with one hand.  This kind of diplomatic skills and political vision are really amazing. I think, Mr. Qi, if you are an American, our company will definitely spend a lot of money to support your participation.  to elect the President of the United States.¡±

    This was just a joke, Qi Yiming just smiled and thanked Bierworth for the compliment.  He has indeed devoted a lot of energy and thought to the eventual success of this matter, and if it can really be completed, it is impossible to overstate his contribution.

    Bierworth seemed to have not stopped his compliments, saying: "You used the business delegation as a cover. At first, I thought it was a simple cover, but with the specific situation sent by the Ministry of Commerce, I was shocked.  This is another good move by you. Opening up the market and encouraging and attracting US capital to invest in mainland China and strengthening bilateral economic and trade exchanges are a huge temptation for a large number of businessmen. I heard that you participated in an event the day before yesterday.  Although I was not able to attend the reception held by the Morgan Consortium in person, I think you must have been the star at the reception. Now you have received support from two important consortiums, the First Bank Consortium and the Morgan Consortium, and Congress has passed arms sales to China.  The bill is almost inevitable.¡±

    Qi Yiming smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Bierworth, you are a very shrewd person, so please tell me, what other aspects of my arrangements have you seen?" Qi Yiming was not afraid of being beaten by Bierworth.  Seeing through all one's own hands and feet, in fact, only when people see clearly what Qi Yiming has done, the wonderful feeling of being recognized will make people more happy.

    Bierworth had really done a lot of homework. He replied calmly: "We overheard that the American Agricultural Association has reached another large order for the sale of 50,000 tons of soybeans and corn. I also heard this this morning.  I saw a senator representing an agricultural association publicly stating in a newspaper that selling arms to China is an important measure to promote relations between the two countries and further promote economic and trade exchanges, and called on the United States to provide a sum of military aid to China. "

    Qi Yiming laughed and said: "Mr. Bierworth, you are really careful in your observations. Yes, including military-industrial interest groups, financial and commercial interest groups, and agricultural interest groups, I use this kind of chess  By clicking on the method, I can connect them when needed to accomplish what I need.¡±

    Bierworth nodded and said: "As I said, your political ability is no less than that of those well-known presidents. It is difficult to imagine that a red country can be born."?Such a genius.  "

    Qi Yiming shook his head and said: "I'm not a genius, I'm just borrowing my strength. In addition, such a thing is unlikely to happen in China. No matter how China changes, it can only be a socialist country, and money will definitely not  Maybe it has the final say. So when China's economic situation improves and many people become rich, they will flee one after another, taking their funds and relatives to the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries.  They will definitely start to attack the CPC government for all kinds of wrongdoings, making it feel like hell on earth.¡±

    "It's because in a socialist country, even if an open and free economy is implemented, these rich people are still insulated from political power, right?"

    "Yes, that's right! In the future, people in both China and the United States may live a good life. But rich people can only have the final say in the United States. In China, if they do something that exceeds the bottom line, they can  There is no such a powerful team of lawyers that can rescue them." Qi Yiming said with a hint of contempt, as if neither a wealthy businessman nor a lawyer was a respectable profession in his eyes.

    Bierworth nodded, as if imagining that kind of world, and sighed: "Maybe such a country would be better. But you are sure that after implementing a free market economy, your country will not be like the United States.  Money politics?¡±

    "There will definitely be collusion between government and business, but money will rule everything in an absolute sense. I can say this with certainty. The CPC has penetrated into every corner of this country's society and has more complete control over society than any money group.  As long as they pursue innovation and change, and always claim to represent the people, and the people's lives are indeed improving, there is no possibility that money groups can control this country. "

    Bierworth hummed and smiled: "These topics seem inappropriate, but I didn't expect that you, who are so good at playing with democratic politics, are actually a devout communist. But maybe communists like you are more  It would be nice to have more, our communication is very good, and most importantly, you can bring me green paper, hahahaha.¡±

    Qi Yiming and Billworth walked to an F-14 parked on the runway. Qi Yiming touched the big guy's cold "delicate body", turned his head and said to Billworth: "Our country sent  Iran's first batch of 12 FC-1 Xiaolong fighters is estimated to have entered Iran at this time. If the Iranians check it correctly, we should get the 12 Tomcat fighters that the Iranians replaced for us within a week.  . After this news is announced, the news of our purchase of a new batch of F-14s from Grumman will be officially revealed, and it will be time to find out.¡±

    Bierworth said confidently: "You have put in so much effort. If it doesn't succeed, there will be a problem."

    Qi Yiming himself feels the same way. He has won over almost all influential interest groups in the United States, and the current overall international environment is more conducive for China to obtain these F-14 fighters.  Of course the Soviet Union would not be happy, but the Soviet Union would not exist for a few more years. If they were willing to continue to confront China, Qi Yiming would whistle and wave to welcome them to do so.

    "Please ask Mr. Bierworth to prepare a team of engineers. I predict that the first batch of fighters handed over to us by the Iranians must be those fighters that have problems and are almost unable to fly. So Grumman's technical staff  First, we will conduct a comprehensive inspection in our factory to find the problem, and then I will order the required parts from Grumman. At the same time, we will also start improving the new fighter. In order to do this, I have already started.  The relevant new engines and new radars have been prepared, and both parties will work together to upgrade these Tomcats to newer versions in the shortest possible time.¡±

    Bierworth had a bright smile on his face and was full of praise.

    Qi Yiming came to Grumman's test airfield mainly to watch the F-14 flight show. Both Grumman and the US military attached great importance to this flight show, which was much worse than what Qi Yiming had done to the Iranians.  It seemed much more respectable that time.

    The mighty Tomcat fighter jet skied and jumped from the runway. Qi Yiming soon discovered that watching the F-14 perform a flight show was completely different from watching the FC-1.  Equipped with two F-14s with greater thrust and variable sweep wings, every roll, climb, and circle in the sky carries an absolute sense of power.

    When the F-14 applies afterburner and begins to perform over-stall maneuvers in the air, it is like a slowly falling leaf, but in just a moment, it can transform into a deadly venomous snake, directly attacking the enemy's vital points.

    Judging from these performances alone, Qi Yiming rationally judged that even the J-10 currently assigned to the PLA Air Force can only be detected when beyond visual range using AESA's ultra-long detection range and its own low radar.  If you mess around with your ability, if you enter a dogfight, you will most likely be beaten by the F-14.Tragic.  Of course we won¡¯t lose everything, but the results won¡¯t be pretty.

    This also strengthened Qi Yiming's determination: "In the official history, my country imitated the Su-27 Flanker, so now that I am copying the F-14 Tomcat, it can be regarded as a high-end and classy one."
