    Qi Yiming clearly understands what Grumman is. It is also a microcosm of all the powerful military-industrial enterprises in the United States, a comprehensive body of contradictions.  Grumman was the company that had the most technical cooperation with China in Qi Yiming's original historical line in the 1980s, but the results were almost nonexistent.

    ¡°The first thing to bear the brunt is to waste more than 500 million US dollars and expose the J-8 technology to the United States¡¯ Peace Model Program in vain.  Many military fans in later generations criticized this matter verbally and writing, especially the image of Shenyang Aircraft Company seemed to have become a permanent stain because of this incident.  Although Chinese aviation people have learned a lot from their cooperation with Grumman, in all fairness many losses can be avoided.

    Grumman¡¯s typical characteristic in cooperation with China is that it is particularly domineering. It not only wants to obtain China¡¯s technical information, but also maintains a high degree of confidentiality about its own large and small technologies. In addition, it often uses a domineering attitude to intimidate the Chinese side.  Therefore, to deal with entities like Grumman, only by constantly showing your strength and cutting off the opportunity for them to look down on you can you carry out some cooperation in a win-win situation for both parties.

    After discussions with Grumman International President Pellehak, Qi Yiming has understood that Grumman mainly wants to obtain three things from Qi Yiming.  The first is the WS-10A engine, the second is various electronic components with advanced performance for avionics systems, and the third is the PL-12A medium-range interceptor projectile that shined in the Iran-Iraq war.

    Qi Yiming is actually not worried at all about these things flowing into the hands of the United States, and they are even directly used in the fighter jets they use.  First of all, although the WS-10A is advanced, it will not take long for the United States to produce similar products. Even with the current F100 and F110, the actual difference is not too big for the WS-10A and does not hinder their use.  It would be very meaningful if Qi Yiming could suppress the traditional market of GE and PW in the US military aircraft through the export of WS-10A, causing them to be blocked in subsequent research and development.

    Various electronic components such as wafers and chips are an important part of the United States' ability to catch the third technological revolution and stop the severe economic stagflation of the 1970s.  Similar to the idea above, the more Qi Yiming exports these things to the United States, the greater the impact will be on American domestic industries, making them more dependent on itself.  As for whether he is afraid of copycats, Qi Yiming is not worried.  Because the United States has the ability to create it on its own and to copy it, but the cost can never be controlled to China's level.  Industrial transfer is from high to low operating cost areas. It is impossible for two areas to have the same technology, but one side has low labor costs and the other side has high labor costs.

    Qi Yiming is certain that his ability to export integrated circuits and other products on a large scale into the U.S. market will eventually lead to the U.S. using trade barriers to protect its related industries, thereby destroying the U.S.'s free economy.

    In addition, Qi Yiming doesn't like the PL-12A. In fact, Americans don't particularly demand it, because it won't be long before the AIM-120 comes out. In comparison, the level of the PL-12A is still not as good as the AIM.  -120A.

    Even if it can be exported to the United States, Qi Yiming will still cause trouble for Grumman.  He made it very clear to Pelehak that if you want to get something, you have to give it. What else can Grumman give to Qi Yiming and Datian Dynasty?

    ¡°At this moment, Pelehak was hesitant, and in the end he didn¡¯t explain anything clearly. He just said that he would report it back and continue the discussion through the board of directors.

    Pakistan's Jamal worked hard to mediate the purchase of FC-1. He was recently promoted to general and became chief of staff of the Air Force. Naturally, such a status is no longer suitable for direct participation in the matter, so Pakistan sent another one named Sar.  Major General Bill, as the plenipotentiary representative, came to Chengdu, China, with several senior air force officials and pilots.

    After all, Qi Yiming was not the kind of person who would hold back, especially when it came to major matters, nor did he have the weird spirit to bring trouble to everyone for his own petty moods and interests, so he still worked very carefully.  A group of people went to Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and spent more than a week simply setting up the FC-1 production line.

    This group of stationed engineering and technical personnel are all set to specialize in Xiaolong manufacturing. Therefore, compared with the previous batch of general-purpose technicians, they are innately familiar with Xiaolong manufacturing and there are no obstacles.

    In order to let Pakistan see that FC-1 is a product of Chengdu Aircraft, Qi Yiming also obtained several sets of Xiaolong parts and sent them to Chengdu so that the newly assembled production lines could assemble these parts.

    After Sabir arrived in Chengdu, he went straight to the Huangtianba test flight site without even taking a break.  Tu Jida, the main person in charge of Chengdu Aircraft, as the project leader, and several leaders from the Ministry of Aviation Industry received Sabir and his party.

    Sabir looked at the Xiaolong fighter jets placed next to the runway with curiosity. Judging from the appearance alone, it was better than the J-7 and J-6 used by the Chinese brothers.?Much.

    "Is this the FC-1 Fierce Dragon that defeated Iraq's Mirage F1, MiG-23, MiG-25 and other fighter jets on the battlefield of the Iran-Iraq War?"

    He is not completely complimenting this. Xiaolong has become a trump card in the hands of the Iranians. He has played in many battles without any loss or even a scratch.  Many enemy aircraft were shot down and injured, and in a recent operation, Xiaolong also participated in the bombing of Iraqi ground forces, using precision-guided bombs to directly blow up a tank company to the point of almost losing its organization.

    Tu Jida smiled and nodded: "That's right, this is the Xiaolong fighter jet manufactured by our country." His face was still red as he spoke, as if it was really made by them, just like Yourong Yan.

    Sabir asked a long-standing question: "As far as I know, when we were in contact last year, China did not put forward any suggestions about Xiaolong, but agreed that we should make improvements based on the J-7M.  plan, and this year, like lava coming out of the cracks in the ground, the Iranians have used these fighter jets, and we haven¡¯t even heard of them before.¡±

    Tu Jida felt the distrust of the Pakistani members. He continued to smile and said: "This question is difficult to explain, because our country has been conducting a huge and extremely confidential scientific research project before, and has developed a variety of weapons, including  The Rhino tanks that have been handed over to Pakistan and the Xiaolong fighter jet we are seeing now, no one of us can spread the news until the project is declassified this year and our PLA starts to get new equipment.  Corresponding export-oriented products appear.¡±

    Although the answer was not so satisfactory to Sabir, he was a buyer after all and could not force Tu Jida to tell him everything, not to mention that Tu Jida might not know everything.

    ¡°Similar to the first time the Iranians watched the Xiaolong, the Pakistanis were also amazed by the various capabilities of the Xiaolong.  What's more, the Xiaolong itself is a foreign trade machine developed for Pakistan. So at this time, the Pakistanis looked around and felt that everything was very convenient and considerate. Sabir and others could not say anything for a while.  Parts that need improvement.

    ¡°It¡¯s so perfect, so perfect, this is a fighter jet tailor-made for Pakistan!¡± Air Force pilot Lieutenant Colonel Mizar exclaimed.

    Tu Jida said good things for free and said with a smile: "Our designers have positioned themselves with Pakistan in mind from the beginning, so many features are designed to meet the needs of Pakistan, such as the ability to take off and land in short fields.  Our Xiaolong can take off and land within 600 meters when the airport conditions are relatively poor. For example, our in-flight fuel can reach 3 tons, which supports the Xiaolong to operate within a radius of 650 kilometers. In addition,  The auxiliary fuel tank is further away. In addition, we have also put a lot of effort into the ground attack required by Pakistan. The Xiaolong fighter has the ability to launch a variety of series of precision-guided bombs newly developed by our country, and even guest attack aircraft to launch anti-tank.  There is no problem with missiles and anti-radiation missiles, and it has the ability to mount anti-ship missiles to attack enemy warships.¡±

    Having said this, the Pakistan Air Force delegation not only clapped their hands to express their excitement.

    From any perspective, the Xiaolong they see now is the technical level after 2000, including an intuitive one-level and three-click display, an operating system that keeps your hands on the stick, and a safer four-redundancy fly-by-wire flight control.  etc.

    Sabir couldn't help but sigh: "The F-16 is better than what the Americans sell us. The F-16's avionics level is not as high as that of the Xiaolong, and it does not have the capability of beyond-visual-range air combat. The types of ammunition that the Americans allocate to us are also  incomplete."

    Tu Jida added fuel to the fire: "Moreover, Americans sell F-16s for 15 million U.S. dollars each, while the flying price of our Xiaolong is only 8 million U.S. dollars. At the same time, it is obvious that when our fighters face the F-16, the F-16 will  -16 will be killed before he can react."

    Sabir nodded and joked: "Originally we wanted to find a low-end match for our F-16, but now we look at it, Xiaolong should be a high-end match."

    Immediately, the major general asked: "Has the Chinese Air Force also begun to replace the Xiaolong fighters? After all, even the Iranians have obtained them. It is impossible for the Chinese brothers to take their own Xiaolongs and exchange them with the Iranians."  -14 right?¡±

    Tu Jida smiled mysteriously again and said: "The main model of our air force is not the Xiaolong. The Xiaolong is actually a by-product of our development of a medium-sized fighter. For the Chinese Air Force and Hainan Airlines, which have a larger land area and more complex needs,  He said that the Xiaolong is still too light. The main fighter currently being equipped by our country is the J-10 Raptor, but its cost is relatively high and the technology is too advanced, so we have not launched it into the international market. In addition, we will get it in the future.  The F-14 must also undergo localized upgrades and modifications to cooperate with the J-10 to better consolidate our country¡¯s air defense.¡±

    Sabir is not thereIt turns out that the Chinese actually have a new fighter jet, but it sounds like China has no plans to export this fighter jet.  They were very satisfied with getting the Xiaolong. At this moment, they said: "I hope China can become stronger and stronger. The world needs a strong China to uphold justice for developing countries like us!"
