Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 874 Extensive Military Cooperation Content

Then the two sides began to talk about politics, diplomacy and military aspects, which are also prerequisites for the success of this arms sale.With it as the basis, the next negotiation can proceed smoothly.Let’s not talk about politics, it’s mainly about mutual trust, and there are also some policy issues and agreements.In terms of diplomacy, of course this is to jointly deal with the Soviet Union. This is an eternal topic, as well as cooperation in some international affairs, and some exchange of interests and so on.

Next is the military, which is also a very important content.For example, Major General Ward proposed to provide Jiang Chen and the others with a batch of retired 16 fighter jets from the old U.S. Air Force for free, and help Jiang Chen and the others train an aviation wing.Then we will form an air assault force with the participation of our pilots and old American pilots, and set up the headquarters of this force, which will be jointly commanded by the two countries.And this force will be deployed in the northwest to deal with threats and assaults from the north.And in case of war, you can directly hit the soft belly of the bear from the northwest direction, and then tear a hole.Garrison, this is definitely impossible, this is the bottom line, neither Jiang Chen nor the rest of the country will agree.Then this next plan is even more impossible. For example, Lao Mei wants to lease several of our airports in the north as their air force bases, deploying fighter jets, reconnaissance planes, and warning radars.In peacetime, it can detect and guard the targets of the Soviet Union, and in wartime, it can help our country resist attacks from the north.This was also impossible, so Jiang Chen and the others objected.

Seeing that Jiang Chen and the others disagreed with the two plans, Colonel Ward proposed a new plan, which was to allow their reconnaissance planes to land for refueling and borrow airspace when necessary.And during the war, some airports were opened for old American aircraft to station.These two are not so direct or much softer.The first is Article [-], which allows their reconnaissance planes to land, refuel, and borrow airspace when necessary. This is also mentioned in the International Flight Convention.If an aircraft from another country encounters an emergency when it arrives in the airspace of one party and needs to make an emergency landing, then one party needs to help the aircraft land and perform necessary maintenance and rescue, as well as relevant supplies.It's just that it involves two aspects of military aircraft and civilian aircraft, which require different disposal and response methods.It may sound unbelievable, but can military aircraft from other countries fly in the airspace of one party?In fact, this is possible. For example, one year our planes went to Turkey to participate in exercises, and some military transport planes went to other countries to perform tasks, such as evacuating overseas Chinese and so on.These all need to pass through the airspace of other countries. It is no problem to communicate and coordinate with these countries.

Of course, landing is the same, this is often seen between friendly countries, and it is also the case in the United States and European countries.So this clause is not too much, it is very common in the Western world.It's just that such terms are definitely beyond Jiang Chen's decision, and they need to be recorded and reported to the country.During the war, some airports were opened for old American aircraft to station.This is also possible, as long as the relevant details are determined in advance, and it seems that there will be no wars around us in the future, so what if it is signed as a clause.Besides, after the honeymoon period is over, even if we let Lao Mei's plane land, they will dare to land or not.You must know that in later generations, Lao Mei has kept our technology secret to the extreme, and parked the fighter planes directly in our country. Even if we want to do this, Lao Mei will not agree.But it's the same, Jiang Chen and the others still recorded it and sent it to the country, but at the same time as sending it, the delegation also had to come up with their own opinions and suggestions.Of course, there must be Jiang Chen among them, and Jiang Chen will definitely report his views and analysis.

Afterwards, the two sides also conducted more detailed negotiations around these fighter planes. Of course, it was mainly Lao Mei's proposal, Jiang Chen and the others judged.Some sub-proposals that have passed are directly rejected, while some that have room for acceptance are recorded and reported to the country, or discussed and studied.These include the resource sharing of these fighters on information and the terms of agreement in terms of combat command coordination.In addition, the previous air joint combat force was rejected by Jiang Chen and the others, and Colonel Ward proposed a new plan.That is to let Jiang Chen's newly formed fighter force participate in the Asian joint assault force initiated by the old United States, and the old American allies in Asia will form a joint assault force with us and the old United States.In peacetime, they are organized for coordinated training, and in wartime they are united for combat.And this force will set up a joint command, composed of all parties sending their own command personnel.In theory, someone from the United States is the commander, and people from other participating countries are the deputy commanders.Although this headquarters has the right to command the joint force to conduct peacetime training, in terms of task execution, it must be authorized by the consent of each party.

This plan is much softer, relatively speaking, it is still acceptable, at least Jiang Chen thinks so.It is feasible to form a joint combat force with these countries, and then conduct training together in peacetime, and it is also what the Air Force should need at present.We must know that our air force in this period is seriously behind the world powers not only in terms of hardware, but also in terms of fighter jets and related facilities.And in terms of software, especially in terms of air force training and combat thinking, as well as related composition systems and technical actions, it is also seriously behind the world's powerful air forces.If we can take advantage of this opportunity to allow our air force to go out and learn advanced air force training methods and combat ideas, it will be conducive to the growth of our air force.And at that time, all the fighter planes of the Air Force will be imported and purchased, so there will be no technical secrecy.It's just that this matter is very big, and Deputy Director Zhao and Deputy Director Song are also cautious about it, and it can be seen that the country has an attitude towards this matter.Therefore, it can only be discussed in the country. For this reason, Jiang Chen decided to write a more detailed report to explain his point of view, and strive to get this matter approved.

There were so many such things that the two sides agreed to discuss it until the afternoon.In the end, both sides couldn't stand it any longer. We were okay and we could endure hardships, but Laomei couldn't do it. He asked to adjourn the meeting and continue tomorrow.The reason why Jiang Chen and the others couldn't stand it was because the aspects involved this time were too wide.They need to organize and research and discuss, and then submit these things together with their own reports.After getting a domestic decision, we can continue the next negotiation.No way, although they are a delegation, they are only representatives, and specific decisions must be made according to domestic opinions.
