Super military empire

In this way, Director Xiao Liu transformed himself and became the deputy chief of staff of the newly established experimental force of the Ministry of National Defense, mainly to make his own suggestions for the construction and development of the entire force.

Although he did not say whether his proposal must be implemented, with the support of the military gang, basically there will be no big problems.

Since then, Director Liu has become even busier.

The improvement of Zhi-91 is still ongoing, and the Soviets' military exercises made them aware of the development of foreign troops.The development of electronic warfare has begun. Although Zhi-91 is currently not much worse than the mainstream Mi-24, Black Hawk and Apache helicopters, it does not have the ability to deal with electronic warfare.

"The installation of an electronic warfare pod on the Zhi-91 is the next important task. Especially the power of the engine needs to be improved to ensure that the maximum speed of the Zhi-91 can reach 500 kilometers per hour, and the cruise speed can exceed four. Hundred! The appearance design also needs to be improved..." Liu Yijiu knows the problem of Zhi-91 better than anyone else.

The body is too large, which also makes the aerodynamic layout unable to be optimized too much.

The aerodynamic layout cannot be moved, which makes the potential for improvement of this aircraft not very large.

"Director Liu, in the current situation, if the aerodynamic layout is not used for the improvement work of Zhijiu Yi, it is difficult to improve too much performance for such a huge body if the structural strength is ensured..." Liao Zhuojing feels that Liu Yijiu is now a bit radical Up.

The Zhi-91 was designed from the outset to take into account the multi-functional use, and it must be able to quickly release platoon-level units on the battlefield, and it must have a strong air strike capability, which is destined to be huge.

To improve, do not change the outside layout, the increased resistance during flight is definitely not a little bit.

"Yes, Director Liu, this airframe is too large. Once the speed is higher, it will easily cause damage to the rotor and engine, and it will be prone to failure. Or, let's break it down like the missile project?" Wang Yueshan is also clear. of.

However, he is not to improve the performance of Zhi-91, but to add more items to a district.

According to the development of the current situation in District I, it is possible to learn from the missile project of Qin Yuan and others. The improvement work of Zhi-91 will continue. Then, the helicopter will be classified. The armed helicopter project and the transport helicopter project are all started!

The foreign helicopter classification is the same.

In this way, the performance of the helicopter can be effectively improved.After all, the body of an armed helicopter does not need to be that large. What a transport helicopter needs is transport capacity. Even if it is larger, the impact of poor performance is not too great.

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yijiu's mouth. He had planned this way.

The development of multifunctional helicopters is first for the accumulation of technology, and many technologies are derived from the Mi-24. The domestic helicopter base is basically from the Soviet Union, so it is a last resort.Moreover, the Republic cannot be equipped with too many helicopters at this time.

Until the end of the 1990s, the military expenditure of the Republic could not exceed 10 billion U.S. dollars.

One year now, only three to four billion U.S. dollars, four million troops to support, there is a larger scientific research system and military production units.

"Let's talk about it. You can put forward any ideas you have, as long as they are reasonable. The management committee will not block everyone in this regard." Liu Yijiu knew how to respond, but he did not take the initiative to mention it. come out.

It is better to let the leader in charge to mention this matter than he does.

"At present, our Zhi-91 helicopters have not been finalized, but they have been successful. Five have been exported to Nipudossan, and there are 7 follow-up orders. This can prove to be a success. Although tested ,Zhi-91 has a very good performance, the function is also very powerful, but compared to the armed helicopter, the attack ability of the Zhi-91 is not strong enough; compared to the transport helicopter, the transport ability of the Zhi-91 is a little bit worse. "Wang Yueshan looked at Liao Zhuojing, who nodded and talked to Liu Yijiu.

The performance data of the American Apache armed attack helicopter is much higher than that of the Zhi-91, and the combat power and firepower are much stronger; in terms of transportation capacity, the Chinook helicopter can transport more than ten tons of materials!

It can be said that Zhi-91 only has comprehensive capabilities.

"Therefore, after several discussions with us and the discussions with the project team’s technicians, we feel that we can only subdivide aircraft types and develop our own armed helicopters and transport aircraft. With just such a multi-functional armed transport helicopter, Vietnam In the increasingly complex battlefield environment, it is not very suitable. Sometimes, when the airborne fire support mission is carried out, the cabin is empty, which is pure waste... And during certain transportation missions, the external weapons and equipment are consumed. Capacity has increased transportation costs..." Zanlik also added.

Wang Yueshan was just a manager, not a technician, so he never spoke.

He has always looked at Liu Yijiu blankly, hoping that Director Liu can unify the expansion project.

In this way, the first district can develop as quickly as the headquarters and the third district.

Liu Yijiu nodded, these people's words were correct.

Especially now their design plan is not for higher-level mission requirements, but for the battlefield environment and the practicability of weapons and equipment.

"There is nothing wrong with saying this. But the question we should consider is whether the military can afford these helicopters..." Liu Yijiu pretended to have a headache and said.

Wang Yueshan finally found a chance to speak: "I said Director Liu, you didn't say at the beginning, we do research, we only need to make the most powerful weapons and equipment, and our task is to make the most advanced weapons. Equipment. As for whether the troops are equipped and used, isn’t it something we consider? Other than that, the cost of exporting our helicopters is used to support the development of our project. The problem is not too big, is it? , Still export it! Selling to our own army, we can't make any money..."

Liu Yijiu was choked by Wang Yueshan's words and didn't know how to answer.

"Well, let's come up with a plan. In addition, regarding personnel issues, we have opened so many projects, but it is not easy to solve..." Liu Yijiu really didn't want to go out and grab people.

For the Ninth Academy, it was the project directors who got the advantage, but he himself offended most of the domestic scientific research units and the leaders of the competent departments.

"No problem, we will be responsible for the robbing of people in the future. As long as you agree, here are two project plans. You can go through them first. If you have any problems, we can improve them and then contact the management committee?" Liu Nodding in 19 makes things easier.

What he didn't expect was that Wang Yueshan and others were fully prepared from the beginning, and after he nodded, he immediately took out two project plans.

One is the research and development of armed helicopters, and the other is the research and development of heavy transport helicopters!

"It seems that you were prepared early in the morning? I said Lao Wang, why didn't I hear any news?" Liu Yijiu smiled bitterly and accepted the two plans.

The establishment of the project in the base is very simple, and there is no need to formulate any task performance, so everyone is enthusiastic about it.

All this is based on the four words of their self-financing.

Few people who rely on scientific research will consider the issue of money. Only when money becomes an obstacle to their research work will they do such a thing.

Before the transportation of ten, in order to run and assemble the remaining few planes, many technicians went out.

This is the sorrow of the national defense science and technology workers of the Republic, and the sorrow of a country that is too poor.

After reading the project book, the relevant leaders and technicians of a district proposed to study professional armed helicopters and heavy transport helicopters on the basis of Zhi-91. In this way, the technology is relatively mature and does not require too many experiments. It can save research and development funds, and at the same time, it can ensure the versatility of the three helicopters in some aspects, avoiding excessive maintenance costs.

Liu Yijiu recognized this plan.

When the plan was handed over to the management committee, the other bigwigs didn't bother to look at it. In addition, Wang Yueshan said from it and told others that Liu Yijiu nodded from the beginning.The research funding required is not too large for the Ninth Institute. At present, the export of Zhi-91 can also be supported.

The establishment of the Blue Army also has a battalion of 24 orders that will fall into the hands of the Ninth Academy.Although the money has not yet been received, and the order for 24 frames may take five years or more before the order is fully released, it can be supported.

In this way, the Ninth Institute has two more projects.

The gunship project was code-named "Thunderbolt Fire", which was originally Liu Yijiu's nickname for the World Wuzhishi, and he took it directly and unceremoniously.The external explanation is to hope that the armed helicopter can be as powerful as the Thunderbolt, with super attack ability, super fast maneuverability...

As for the transport helicopter, Wang Yueshan and others directly named it "Bull", which made Liu Yijiu a bitter cold.

The ambition of these guys can also be seen from this.

Simply let them go. In the future development, helicopters are far more important to the army than strategic transport aircraft.After all, future wars are only small-scale local wars. A combat radius of hundreds of kilometers and a special field radius of thousands of kilometers are completely sufficient for helicopters.
