If the PLA Air Force picked off more than ten South Korean fighter jets like a melon or vegetable, other countries and regions mainly watched with a spectator mentality. There is one place where they are scared to the core - Formosa.
The Taiwan authorities, which have been shouting that "Han and traitors cannot live together" for many years, have still not lifted martial law under the KMT regime. They have always relied on the support of the United States and the barrier of the strait to maintain equipment against mainland China in certain areas. Quality advantage. Taiwan's army and navy were beaten to the point of disrepute by the PLA, but the Air Force is the only service with a decent record. Some people may say that the achievements of various air combat troops in the 1950s and 1960s are very high. Haha, if you take it seriously, you will lose.
Currently, South Korea is Taiwan's only "diplomatic country" in East Asia. The relationship between the two countries is pretty good. Many people who defected from the PLA before flew to South Korea and then moved to Formosa. This time, South Korea was quite interesting. It sent part of the tellable information to the senior officials of the Korean army through the puppet regime embassy in Seoul.
Fifteen South Korean "advanced" fighter jets F-4E and F-5E were shot down, which frightened the Taiwanese authorities. You must know that the United States has not even sold heavy fighter jets such as the F-4 to Taiwan. The main fighter jets of the Taiwan military are still There is still a certain gap between the F-5E Tiger II and the F-4E.
Now, the leaders of the puppet regime who originally regarded Taipei as Nanjing suddenly discovered that the Red Bandits, who were incompatible with each other, actually had such powerful homemade fighter jets. The president, Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, even felt that he had been having a cold on his head these days. Because of the wind, I was afraid that a Japanese plane would fly over and drop a bomb over the Presidential Palace.
In the office of the Presidential Palace, Chiang Ching-kuo sat behind the desk with deep thoughts, and several senior military officials also sat nervously on stools. Compared with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo stayed in the Soviet Union as a hostage in his youth and joined the Communist Party. After returning to China, he followed his father to fight against the Communist Party. In fact, Chiang Ching-kuo had a rather contradictory political character, with both humility and ruthlessness. side, so with such a monarch, the people below will naturally be more trembling.
Xiao Jiang looked at Chief of Staff Hao Bo Cun with an ugly face. This famous reunification figure in later generations was also a Taiwanese bigwig who was later deceived by Iwazato Masao and fell into the political arena. Now Hao Bo Cun has not yet reached the top of his life. , and especially relied on Xiao Jiang's trust in him.
"What on earth did the Intelligence Bureau do? The Communist Army made such a big move to develop their new fighter planes. Why didn't we get any intelligence at all?"
Hao Bocun was also very nervous and helpless: "President, the Intelligence Bureau has been transformed into the Military Intelligence Bureau. There are still some things that have not been clarified. It was even more troubled before, so it is somewhat incapable of collecting intelligence."
After hearing this, Chiang Ching-kuo couldn't help but sigh bitterly. Taiwan has also had its own major event during these days, and that is the Jiangnan case. That is, Chiang Ching-kuo sent assassins to the United States to assassinate the Taiwanese political dissident and writer Jiang Nan. Since Jiangnan was an American citizen, Chiang Ching-kuo's actions were tantamount to breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. Afterwards, in order to stop Chiang Ching-kuo's gun, the Intelligence Bureau of the former military commander was purged inside and out. It was also to give an explanation to the United States and world public opinion. Even Chiang Wei-guo's son Jiang Xiaowu was banned from re-employment for life because of this incident.
At this time, the head of the Intelligence Bureau, Wang Xiling, had been arrested and imprisoned. People in the Intelligence Bureau were in panic. In July, the Military Intelligence Bureau was reorganized and was directly under the staff headquarters of Haobo Village. Who could still be in the mood to collect military information from the mainland? intelligence.
Air Force Commander Guo Ruling said: "In the middle of the year, I saw the Red Bandits distributing sales flyers of their so-called FC-1 Fierce Dragon all over the world. It is claimed to be an advanced fighter aircraft of the same generation as the F-16 and Mirage 2000, and also has a range. Air-to-air missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers. Huh, a bunch of mud-legged people named after thieves like Xiaolong are bound to be vulnerable."
Hearing this, people suddenly feel that the logic is confusing. In the first part, it is said to be advanced, but in the second part, because there is an owl in its name, it feels that love in the world is vulnerable. What kind of great wisdom can come to such a divine conclusion?
The people in this room were all well-educated and would not directly ridicule the Air Force Commander. However, Jiang Jingguo's worry was clearly written on his face. He said: "The information South Korea gave us was to shoot down their fighter jets." It¡¯s not the so-called Xiaolong, but another fighter jet. So where did the Communist Army develop two advanced fighters? Where did they get so much money and technology? "
The previous rumors that mainland China wanted to buy American F-14s had made these people very nervous for a while. However, those F-14s were said to need improvement, so many top military officials told themselves: The Americans will definitely make changes to make the F-14s If China's combat power is sharply reduced, the skies over the Taiwan Strait will still be dominated by the aerial athletes of the Guo army.
But now all the intelligence indicates that the PLA has the ability to make its own advanced fighter jets, and according to intelligence, the Korean military has confirmed that it has discovered about twenty fighter jets. So it is said??There is still an air battle between China and Vietnam on the Yunnan border. It is impossible for the PLA not to put new fighters there, and it is certainly impossible not to have new fighters stationed along the Taiwan Strait. So after calculation, mainland China may have dozens of close combat aircraft. Hundreds of advanced fighter jets.
No wonder everyone in this office is on pins and needles now. No one answered Jiang Jingguo's question. Although they had spoken contemptuously about TG before, and seemed to think that TG was vulnerable and worthless, these people never thought about how they could successfully transfer to CPC if it was really so incompetent. Taiwanese.
In fact, this kind of thinking continued until the era of cross-strait iceberg in later generations, such as "the quality of mainlanders is low", "without high-quality democracy, there will be no real strength", "mainland people cannot afford tea eggs", "mainland-produced fighters will definitely fly into the sky" This is how weird words like "falling off" come about. In fact, people like Chiang Ching-kuo still have a pragmatic mentality, but after the localization movement and Masao Iwasato's castration-style democratic movement, this kind of weird thinking and an incomprehensible sense of condescension permeated the entire Daiwan.
It is not incomprehensible that the Red Bandits have mastered advanced technology and are able to build powerful fighter jets. After Xiao Jiang and his father heard that the mainland had successfully tested the atomic bomb, he stayed up all night and muttered: There is no going back.
??????????????????????? Without the atomic bomb, can you expect the people of the mainland to welcome you back with their backs on end? for what? In order for you to help them lower their house prices?
Jiang Jingguo finally turned his attention to Peng Yuanxi, a person who was not a frequent visitor in this office. This man was a Ph.D. from the Sun Yat-sen Institute of Science and was also the host of the famous Yingyang Project in later generations. The result of this Yingyang Project was the F-CK-1 Jingguo fighter, which is more commonly known as the IDF fighter.
In real history, the IDF is the first third-generation aircraft in the Chinese world. Although mainland army fans can find a dozen faults, including short legs, a combat radius of only 130 kilometers, a limited detection range of the Golden Dragon 53 radar, and increased thrust from the two engines. It's not as big as the Xiaolong engine. However, objectively speaking, IDF is relatively useful for the Taiwan Air Force. The most important thing is that it can produce and master the research and development capabilities of fighter jets. As for the fact that Masao Iwasato once again used the magic power of castration to castrate the Hanxiang Company, making it impossible for Taiwan to develop any military aircraft again, that is another matter. At least Taiwan has a chance.
Chiang Ching-kuo asked Peng Yuanxi: "Mr. Peng, can our ongoing Yingyang Project create a more advanced and powerful fighter jet than the Communist Army?"
Peng Yuanxi is an industry insider, and through this project, some companies in the United States have provided very professional training to some technical personnel in Taiwan. The Chinese people's ability to learn and absorb knowledge is amazing, and their work spirit is also impressive. It can be said that Taiwan's scientific researchers during this period were generally no different from those on the mainland. They all worked with a desperate attitude. In IDF projects, there are also cases of staff members dying of overwork.
The doctor took out a promotional coloring page and said rather helplessly: "This is a promotional material distributed by China Aviation Industry Corporation Chengdu Aircraft Company at a previous air show. Although they did not participate in person, perhaps due to lack of funds. This is The fighter I introduced is the FC-1 Xiaolong fighter that they have exported to Iran and Pakistan. I have generally studied their data parameters, and I can say that all indicators are better than our IDF, especially in terms of weapon systems. Leading the way. I heard from my American classmates that even Grumman is interested in integrating missiles developed by the Communist Army into the F-14 Tomcat used by the US military. This shows that Americans are also optimistic about the missiles of the Communist Army. Well, the friend who helped me get this promotional material asked people from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China at that time and confirmed that they have a fighter for their own use, which is larger and has better performance than the Xiaolong fighter, surpassing the American F- 16, but they didn¡¯t export it. This must have been the one who shot down the South Korean fighter jet this time.¡±
He explained a lot, but Jiang Jingguo and others understood one thing - the planes he didn't have to use to cheat money were better than the IDF he hadn't built yet, so what's the value of having an IDF? ?
Peng Yuanxi seemed to be aware of Jiang Jingguo's thoughts and immediately said: "Mr. President, we have already launched the Eagle Yang Project and spent a lot of money. It will be of great benefit to our country's independent design and development of military aircraft in the future. Through the plan, we can follow The United States has learned a lot, which will be of great benefit to the revitalization of our country's aerospace industry. Even if the Communist Army is ahead of us, we cannot stop our progress. Now we are retreating and we will continue to work together. The army has been making progress. If we stay still, the gap will become wider and wider!"
Jiang Jingguo sighed and said: "So you mean that we spend a lot of money just to keep the gap with the Communist army from widening?"
Peng Yuanxi is an engineering person and does not have much emotional intelligence when speaking. Instead, he said: "It will slow down the widening of the gap. In the long run, the gap cannot be narrowed."?, it¡¯s even impossible to remain unchanged¡¡±
