Super military empire

"Have you negotiated with the Soviet Union?" When Liu Yijiu arrived in the capital from the northwest, he met the old man and others. Although they already knew the details of the negotiation and the content of the secret agreement, they still asked Liu Yijiu.

Long Yaohua was very excited about Liu Yijiu's acquisition of ten Backfire Tu-22m fighters for the Air Force, and even more excited was Air Force Minister Xia Fei.

The Air Force has always only had bombers like the H-6. Although they can also drop nuclear bombs, their combat radius is not far enough, and their flight speed and performance are not very good.

"On the Soviet side, they hope to include the army, withdraw troops and start exercises at intervals, but they must never cross the border. Their armed forces will not, and our side cannot cross the border. ......" Liu Yijiu reiterated about the exercise between the two sides, and then introduced the issue of strategic bomber trading for CNC machine tools.

"This is done well. Although our country needs five-axis CNC machine tools on a large scale, compared with strategic bombers, it makes the air force more deterrent, can better defend our airspace, and safeguard the motherland’s territorial sovereignty. Any infringement is the most important thing.” The old man praised Liu Yijiu’s exchange of strategic bombers. “However, the Air Force does not have enough money to support them. Stay with your Blues..."

"Master, this can't work. I didn't care about the Blue Army. And this thing has nothing to do with the Blue Army. Although it has been said that the Blue Army will be built, the Blue Army also has an air force, but we are blue. What can the military do if it doesn't engage in fighter planes and build strategic bombers that can only bomb targets on the ground and at sea?" Liu Yijiu was about to cry immediately.

But he is taking good care of the Air Force, but the old man gave him such a trick.

It must have been discussed when the news was received early in the morning.

Especially Xia Fei, as the Secretary of the Air Force, could the smile on his face be pretended?

Although the fighter belongs to the Blue Army, it belongs to the Republic Air Force!

"The purpose of the Blue Army is to exercise as a third-party invader. Strategic bombers are naturally very important in warfare. Especially these strategic bombers have the ability to penetrate defenses at twice the speed of sound, which is important for my country's air defense force construction. And the increase in the combat effectiveness of the Air Force definitely has an effect that cannot be underestimated..." Long Yaohua saw the painful expression on Liu Yijiu's face. He couldn't smile in his heart, but made a serious expression on his face.

The air force really can't afford it, and it's all ten at once.

"I said, Xiao Liu, the agreement you signed with the Soviets is that we ourselves send pilots to the territory of the Soviet Union to fly the fighters back. Is there a pilot in our country who can fly the Tu-22m fighter?" Did not let Liu Yijiu stay here again? This matter is entangled. Although the maintenance cost of these strategic bombers is very expensive, the Air Force can afford to save a little bit from the teeth.

After all, this thing is not the larger Tu-160.

The question before everyone is this. In order to keep the border deployment of the two sides confidential, during the negotiations, the Soviet Union and China insisted that each other’s people should not enter their airspace.Finally reached such an opinion.

There are not many bomber pilots in China, especially the operation of the Tu-22 Backfire fighter, which is extremely complicated and requires good physical strength.

Without a pilot, could someone go to the Soviet border and drag the fighter plane from the highway into China?

This is a complicated matter.

"Didn't we originally have a Tu-22m2, anyway, just let the fighter fly..."

Liu Yijiu was also very painful about this matter. The Soviets did not provide any training or after-sales service at all. At the same time, they also asked the Chinese technicians not to provide them with technical services for CNC equipment.

Regarding this matter, Liu Yijiu has no idea why.

"This can't be a joke, I don't know what your kid thinks. The Tu-22 that was stolen back then has a lot of luck in it, but now it's a deal, and it must be opened secretly. , Even, it is necessary to fly back under the complicated weather conditions at night! Without the assistance of the Soviets, what shall we do?" Xia Fei was very anxious.

The Soviet fighter piloting is inherently a bit complicated. Although Liu Ye is also from the Soviet Union, for the pilots of the Republic of Hong Liu Ye, the operation of the Backfire bomber is not something they can drive back without any training!

The Soviets agreed to such a request because there was no one in China.

"The Tu-22 on our side has not been flown in these years, and pilot training has not been carried out. Choose a group of H-6 pilots and let them conduct emergency training for a period of time. Let's fly the fighter back first. At this time, we must not leave the fighters in the Soviet Union, otherwise there will be many dreams..." Liu Yijiu was a little helpless.

He has considered this matter many times.

I have always regretted it. Why didn't you think about training the pilots of the Backfire fighter?

It's not a good thing to always think about waiting for the Soviet Union to offer conditions at the price of Chinese cabbage to bring back the pilots and fighters originally owned by the Soviet Union at the same time after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"Where are the instructors? Are they looking for them from the Soviet Union?" Li Yunlong asked Liu Yijiu, staring at it.

The old man has not been in the position of logistics minister for a few days.

But he is still playing his role, because the candidate for the logistics minister has not yet been determined.

"No, we have a better choice..." Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and said. When he said this, he obviously had no confidence, and his eyes could not help but stare at the reactions of several big men secretly.

Seeing Liu Yijiu like this, Li Yunlong immediately wanted to slap Liu Yijiu over, but was held back by Long Yaohua.

The old man lit a cigarette and looked at Liu Yijiu silently without speaking, as if he knew Liu Yijiu's plan.

"Are you looking for Neptune?" The old man spoke for a long time.

"Yes, Yang Wei's wife, Alisa, is the Soviet woman, the woman who once brought us the core manuscript of the initial design of the Mi-24..."

"Are you planning to give Nipudosan one or two?" Long Yaohua also reacted, "Since the last time you went there, your dealings with that side have become more frequent, and the range of movements has become more frequent. The bigger one is here, if they have such a fighter..."

"In the future, we will have more backfires! At the same time, this kind of fighter is just the starting point for our battle and should not be our end! Nipudo Sang should have such a fighter, and wait until they occupy Vietnam. Only when we are in the south can we have the confidence not to be driven out by Vietnam. Moreover, these strategic bombers should appear in Neptune Dosan at a critical time..."

Liu Yijiu did not explain the increasingly frequent transactions with Neptune, especially the various military technical equipment.

The boss above was obviously reminding him that he knew it in his own mind.

But now that the second son has been born, he must think more about Neptune.

There are his descendants, the proof of his existence in this world.

"Furthermore, the ten backfires, the Soviets themselves know that these fighters should not cause any deterrence to them. The purpose of our fighters is mainly to defend against maritime threats, the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. Therefore, it is not practical for us. Ten, sell some, and use the funds from the sold fighters to train our pilots..."

Liu Yijiu's reason is too strong to be refuted.

In the end, after being silent, the old man nodded silently and approved Liu Yijiu's statement.

If they disagree, Liu Yijiu will most likely think of other ways to buy such a fighter plane for Neptune, because there are Liu Yijiu's two sons.

"At present, we have Backfire, do you plan to imitate these fighters or are you?" In order to change the subject, Li Yunlong directly asked Liu Yijiu about Zhanbang's next thoughts.

In the area of ​​strategic bombers, like all other air force equipment, they are the shortcomings of the Republic.

To have a more powerful strategic bomber, there is basically no possibility in a short time.

"The improvement of the H6 should continue. At the same time, we must mobilize forces to study the Tu-22 for technical reserves. We can imitate it when needed. If there is no urgent need, we should build on the Backfire strategic bomber. Make modifications and develop our own strategic bombers! Especially long-range strategic bombers with a combat radius of more than 8,000 kilometers, coupled with the combat radius of cruise missiles, enable our strategic bombers to radiate an area of ​​about 10,000 kilometers..."For national strategy For the development of the bomber, Liu Yijiu obviously has his own plan.

But this plan should not be executed by him for a long time now.

The state attaches too much importance to the master bomber of the H6.

The arrangement in the Soviet Union, especially in Ukraine, will bring more and larger super strategic bombers to the Republic, whether it is Tu-95 or Tu-160, China will have it in the future.

Under such circumstances, does China still have to make so many bombers?

If there is a choice, will China make so many?

"That said, the production of Hongliu should be stopped?" Xia Fei said with a frown.

Liu Yijiu nodded, "At present, our national defense strategy is defense. What we need to guard is our territory, airspace, and the development of the air force, mainly fighters, not bombers for offensive purposes. The country has already equipped enough. Hung Six, there is no need to waste funds on equipping these fighters, and more should be invested in technological research..."
