    Half a month after Qi Yiming arrived in the United States, a piece of news appeared on the front page of the New York Times, causing shock in the United States and around the world.  The Islamic Republic of Iran transferred all its F-14 Tomcat fighter jets originating in the United States to the People's Republic of China at a price of US$10 million each.  Immediately afterwards, China sold 70 self-produced FC-1 Xiaolong fighters to Beibang, and sold two ZDK-03 early warning aircraft.  News quickly showed that given China and Iran¡¯s history of bypassing war embargoes, North Korea simply could not spend large sums of dollars to purchase so many military aircraft. There is no doubt that these items were used as bargaining chips in exchange for Iran¡¯s F-14s.

    This breaking news directly aroused the attention of people from all walks of life around the world; the Soviet Union condemned China for selling military weapons to Iran in violation of international law, as if it had never done it; the United States began to heatedly discuss what China's possession of F-14 means.

    Soon, the Washington Free Beacon Times reported that the Chinese informal delegation that recently visited the United States had officially submitted an application to the U.S. government to purchase 30 F-14 Tomcat fighter jets, and proposed to negotiate with the arms giant Gru  The two companies are working together to develop an upgraded version of the Tomcat fighter jet.

    As soon as the news came out, Grumman's stock soared 6% that day, and some sources were generally optimistic about this arms export.  Of course, there are voices of opposition, saying that China is an evil and despicable red country, and the Tomcat is one of the best weapons in the United States, and exporting it to China will face unpredictable risks.  However, the entire public opinion circle has gone through many rounds of warm-up before, and many people are talking about strengthening military cooperation with China, and even going so far as to promote China to become the next ally of the United States. Moreover, cooperation with China will bring  The huge economic benefits have also made many people optimistic about the sale of F-14 to China.

    Only two days after the news was brewing, the U.S. Congress passed a bill to relax military export controls to China and approved Grumman's export of 30 F-14 fighter jets to China.

    A country that advertises its rule of law is actually just a piece of waste paper that can be modified at any time.  This was still the era when Batumi (Paris Coordination Committee, Western countries banned the export of military-related goods to socialist countries) existed, but the United States had sold a variety of weapons to China before, such as the S-70 Black Hawk helicopter.  It is falsely claimed to be a civilian version, but torpedoes like the Mk-46 cannot be used by fishermen to fry fish.

    By the time of the F-14 case, the United States no longer even knew what integrity was. A member of the House of Representatives publicly stated that under the influence of the United States, China, which was originally rigid and backward, was ready to gradually open up its market economy and join the global economy.  In the liberalized market, he argued: "A country that is prepared to let the market and capital dominate its economy, even if it calls itself socialist or wears a red coat, can it affect its essence?"

    In a luxury hotel in Manhattan, New York, Qi Yiming held a grand celebration banquet with Grumman and some related personnel.  Before the banquet, Qi Yiming specially proposed the US$120 million he had prepared and delivered it to Grumman as a deposit for the business.

    Although they only received a 10% deposit, everyone at Grumman was excited.  CEO Billworth held Qi Yiming's hand and said enthusiastically: "Congratulations, Mr. Qi, you finally got the reward you wanted. I also believe that China and Grumman will have a happy cooperation."

    Qi Yiming laughed and said: "Yes, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

    Bierworth patted his chest and said: "Several of our important engineers have packed their bags and are ready to follow you back to China at any time. We hope to complete the maintenance of the batch of F-14s transferred to you by Iran as soon as possible.  "

    Qi Yiming nodded, smiled, and raised his glass: "Cheers!"

    According to the plan, because the total number of aircraft purchased in the first batch plus those transferred from Iran is 100, Grumman agreed to transfer an overhaul line to China.  They will complete the repair and maintenance of this batch of Iranian F-14s with the help of the red alert engineers sent by Qi Yiming.  At the same time, regarding key parts such as avionics, power, and weapons, they will also cooperate with Red Alert engineers to modify these F-14s into versions required by China.

    After finishing these things, Qi Yiming's main goal of coming to the United States this time has been fully achieved. The next step is to digest and absorb the Tomcat fighter jets on his side.  He had too many plans on how to transform the Tomcats in his head, but they all seemed complicated and many of them were unrealistic.  Excluding some obviously unreliable content, Qi Yiming still intends to make the Tomcat further strengthen its air control capabilities and become the best guardian of the sky of the Republic.  As for the multi-purpose function, if a large number of J-10s enter service for a while, the requirements for the Tomcat will not be so serious.

    ??It is said that ground attack has been the short leg of the Chinese Air Force for a long time in later generations. The early models of the J-11 basically did not have any ground attack capabilities. If you have a strong sense of entertainment, you are willing to use the God-level aviation rockets of the Great China.  Counting that aside, he still has a bit of it.

    Not to mention that the J-11 did not have the ability to attack the ground at the beginning. The J-10 is also positioned at high altitudes and high speeds. At least there is a JH-7 Flying Leopard with a very old Qiang-5 who can take care of it while eating and pulling.  this function.  Qi Yiming was no more miserable than he was today.  After all, the Red Alert Base is equipped with a large number of J-10s and JH-7s of the PLA Air Force, which have excellent ground attack capabilities.

    Qi Yiming originally wanted to think about these issues, but he was soon distracted by the chaotic environment of the party.  The celebration itself was mostly attended by people from Grumman, and some other guests were also invited. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than the charity reception that day. The music played by the band was also more swing and Broadway style. The guests  Dancing freely on the dance floor, chatting with men and women holding a small goblet.

    At this time, a familiar figure came to Qi Yiming, it was Miss Jacqueline Morgan, the daughter of the Morgan family.  She showed an alluring smile, raised her glass gently and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Qi, you have completed your mission to visit the United States."

    "Thanks."

    Jacqueline blinked her big eyes and said, "So are you leaving the United States and returning to China soon?"

    Qi Yiming said: "Yes, in about a week, I will finish some other things and return to China. Does Miss Jacqueline want to go with me?"

    Jacqueline smiled and said: "This is a good idea."

    She immediately looked around for a while and asked: "Where is your beautiful girlfriend? Why didn't she come over?"

    Qi Yiming smiled and said: "I was watching TV in the suite at the back. She said she didn't like this environment very much, and the lights were dark, which made her feel uneasy."

    Jacqueline also smiled and said: "Yeah, it's very similar to me. I don't like the environment here either. Look, there's a big bottle of 151 degrees over there. You're about to leave. How about we have a strong drink together?"  ?¡±

    Qi Yiming didn't expect that this beautiful white girl would have such a hobby. When she looked at the bottle of strong liquor, there was something special in her eyes. Qi Yiming had made many drunkard friends everywhere.  I understand very well that it is clearly the look of drunkards who are greedy for alcohol.

    "Are you sure? That's Bacardi's 151-degree liquor, not our Chinese Baigan. The taste is not that pleasant to drink." Bacardi 151-proof liquor is one of the top ten spirits in the world, and its category is rum.  , Qi Yiming is no stranger to this stuff, he had drank it abroad before traveling through time.  It is actually quite uncomfortable for a Chinese to drink foreign spirits. For example, Bacardi¡¯s 151-degree alcohol content is 75.5 degrees, but when you drink it, it feels like drinking viscous water, even if you don¡¯t have much alcohol capacity.  People find that they can't even drink twenty cups without any trouble.

    But the trick with this wine is that it will never be as heavy as a good Chinese liquor. After drinking it, you need to wait for a while before the alcohol kicks in. The feeling of suffering can make people feel that the whole esophagus is full the next day.  They are all covered in alcohol, and they can't be clear-headed all day long.

    Before Qi Yiming could raise any objections, Jacqueline dragged him into his room.  Jiang Huayan was sitting on the bed, holding a pillow and watching TV. When she saw the foreign girl dragging Qi Yiming in, she was a little surprised.

    "Hey, Jiang, let me borrow your boyfriend for a while. Let's have a drink together."

    Qi Yiming could only show a helpless smile to Jiang Huayan.

    Jacqueline took a few glasses from the table, poured liquor into them, gave them to Qi Yiming and Jiang Huayan, and shouted: "Cheers, my friends!"

    As she spoke, she poured the strong liquor that was not mixed with other drinks down her throat. Qi Yiming's eyes almost fell out when he saw it.

    "Come on, drink, let's all have fun together!" Jacqueline seemed to have completely lost her upper-class socialite restraint after drinking. She kicked off a pair of high heels on her feet, revealing a pair of white and smooth little feet.  On the hotel carpet.

    Qi Yiming shook his head, picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently.

    Jiang Huayan seemed to know that this beautiful American woman had a very good background and would be helpful to Qi Yiming's career, so she flattered her. She was also curious about these foreign wines, and after Qi Yiming helped her mix the accompanying drinks  , I also tasted a little bit of it.  Sure enough, the little girl found that the so-called strong wine was not strong at all, and began to pretend to be bold and exchange glasses with Jacqueline.

    Qi Yiming wanted to stop him, but instead he was grabbed by these two girls. Jacqueline boldly put her arms around Qi Yiming's neck, brought the wine glass to his mouth, and said seductively: "A gentleman wouldn'tMadam ?? pours herself a drink in solitude, come on, all together!  "
