Chapter 771: Strong response (first update, please subscribe)
Who is the most handsome boy in the sky in 1952?
Definitely a jet!
Although to the world, the emergence of the C717 jet airliner earned it the reputation of the "White Swan", it was the air battle that took place on the peninsula that really attracted the world's attention and announced the advent of an era.

As the "MiG Corridor" became world-famous, amidst the roar of MiG fighter jets, air forces around the world saw the end of piston propeller aircraft. The sky of the future belongs to jet fighters.

Regardless of whether the aircraft they are equipped with is the famous Spitfire or the P51 Mustang, they are all vulnerable to jet fighters.

The battle between MiG fighter jets and F86 announced the arrival of an era. Because of this, countries that value their air force have turned their attention to jet fighters.

But who can provide the jet fighters?

In the world of 86, there were only a few countries that could provide fighter jets. However, because the United States needed to ensure the peninsula and its own replacement needs, except for key allies, the F fighter jets were basically not sold to other countries. As for the Soviet Union, Their aircraft are only provided to allies, and others don't even think about it.

Fortunately, there is still Britain. After all, Britain has already developed jet fighters as early as the end of World War II. And more than a dozen British airlines have launched jet fighters.

As a result, countries interested in jet aircraft rushed to the UK to test fly British jet fighters. This is especially true for countries facing the threat of war.

For a time, airlines in the UK had a constant flow of guests, including Israel, which had just been founded a few years ago.

Unlike most countries, Israel, located in the Middle East, has been besieged by various countries since the day it was born. Israel, which was born in the flames of war, almost survived on the edge of national subjugation. Because of this, in the first After the First World War in the Middle East, Israel has been committed to strengthening its armaments. After all, for Israel, the quality of its armaments is directly related to its survival.

"If the British don't sell, what about the French? Do they have jets?"

However, they have little interest in those jet aircraft manufactured in the UK. After all, with limited resources, Israel hopes to buy the best jet fighters.

Because of this, almost as soon as the Mi-G fighter became famous on the peninsula, the Israeli Air Force was full of interest in jet fighters.

In the Prime Minister's office, Air Force Commander Aharon Remez looked at Prime Minister Ben Gurion and said.

"The performance of the British Vampire fighter and Meteor fighter is very average. At most it is close to the F84 fighter, but far inferior to the F86 fighter. If we want to have jet fighters, we must have the best."

"France? They don't have jets at all. After World War II, France has long been reduced to a third-rate country. How can it possibly build better jets?"

"If we don't have jet fighters, then in the next war our fighter jets will become targets in the sky, Mr. Prime Minister."

"Neither Meteors nor Vampires can meet our requirements, and the British are unwilling to sell them to us. According to the intelligence we have, pilots from Egypt and Syria are also testing Meteors and Vampires in the UK. Not surprisingly, They will get these planes soon."

Compared to Israel, the UK prefers Egypt, Syria, Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries. After all, those countries were once British colonies or mandates, and selling weapons to them is normal. It is for this reason that the UK has always It is unwilling to sell weapons to Israel. After all, the United Kingdom is not willing to risk offending various countries in the Middle East to make good friends with Israel.

Aharon Remiz's reminder made Ben-Gurion frown and asked.

While Aharon Remez unabashedly looked down on France, he took out a document and said.

"But we have an alternative besides France."

"This is - Chang'an International Defense Equipment Exhibition!" Holding the invitation letter in his hand, Gurian looked at Aharon Remitz with some confusion and said.

"What kind of exhibition is this? Is it displaying weapons and equipment from various countries?"

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, it is said that at this exhibition in four months' time, the latest weapons and equipment from all over the world will be gathered. I think it is not just airplanes, but maybe other equipment. We should go there to participate. There may be unexpected gains from this exhibition.”

Aharon Remez emphasized again.

"This is an opportunity to at least give us access to other aircraft because, after all, there are not many options for Israel."

Not every country has a choice. This is true for Israel, and even more so for Yugoslavia. As a former member of the other side of the Iron Curtain, three years ago, under the auspices of Soviet Russia, the Workers’ Intelligence Service passed two The resolution, while strongly condemning and criticizing the imperialist slaves of Yugoslavia, announced that they would be expelled from the Intelligence Bureau and called on the people of Yugoslavia to overthrow Tito's leadership. At this point, the two countries of Jiangsu and South China not only completely broke off, but also began to move towards comprehensive and open confrontation.

As a small country and a country bordering the Eastern European Group, Yugoslavia was of course nervous in the face of threats from Soviet Russia and even war threats from the Soviet Union. While moving factories to Kosovo-level areas and extending an olive branch to the West, Yugoslavia , the existential threat facing Tito and others has never diminished.

For Belgrade, their biggest worry has always been that the Soviet-Eastern army will one day cross the border, and the torrent of steel will pour into Yugoslavia like a flood.

Therefore, strengthening armaments became an inevitable choice for Yugoslavia. After the outbreak of the Peninsular War, faced with the dazzling performance of the MiG-15 and the arrival of the jet age, the threat felt by Yugoslav senior leaders was direct.

"We must have jet fighters, otherwise our outdated fighter jets will become targets for the MiG-15 in front of the Soviet Air Force."

In Tito's office, Koca Popovich, the Chief of General Staff of Yugoslavia, looked solemn and spoke seriously.

"Not just jet fighters, Kocha, we also need other advanced weapons and equipment. Only by having a military force powerful enough to make the Russians fear them can we stop their ambitions against us."

Tito, wearing a marshal uniform, looked out the window, frowning, and said again.

"We do need jet fighters, but are there suitable jet aircraft? What we need is a jet fighter that is no worse than the MiG-15."

To a certain extent, the threat of war faced by Yugoslavia now far exceeds that of any other country. After all, out of his understanding of Moscow, Tito knew very well that the army there could cross the border at any time and then destroy and Occupy all of Yugoslavia.

In this case, Yugoslavia needs better jet fighters than the MiG. Only in this way can it deal a violent blow to the Russians when it is invaded.

Faced with Tito's inquiry, Kocha Popovich pointed to the report on the table and said.

"Chang'an International Defense Equipment Exhibition! Maybe we can get some extra gains there. I heard that they have invited weapons manufacturers from all over the world."

He turned around and looked at the report on his desk. Although he didn't know when, even weapons and equipment could be held at an exhibition, displayed like cabbage. But Tito still looked through it with interest, and then said slowly.

"There should be many weapons manufacturers by then, but the question is, will they sell us their best jet fighters?"
