alien heir

The person who came to talk to Cheng Yuan about the introduction of technology and the purchase of aircraft was a lieutenant general from the General Armament Department, named Wu Hongfei, who was only 48 years old. Considering his rank, he was quite a young cadre officer.

This Wu Hongfei is said to be a typical technocrat. He was originally an overseas student who went abroad at public expense in the 80s. He once obtained a master's degree at MIT. After that, he resolutely returned to China, first worked in Shenfei, and then transferred to the National Defense Department. working committee.

In the 90s, the Gulf War dealt a heavy blow to the top leaders of the Republic, making them realize the importance of high technology, so technicians like Wu Hongfei became popular, and the army also began to recruit technicians into the army and confer military ranks. At that time, Wu Hongfei was directly awarded the rank of Second Lieutenant.

Later, at the end of the 90s, it happened that the General Armament Department broke away from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and established it alone. He seized this opportunity and went to the newly born General Armament Department. With his qualifications and ability, he quickly got reuse.

Because he is indeed skilled, and because he married a daughter who is said to be a big boss of the Military Commission, and has a keen sense of politics, he has never made a mistake in standing in the team, so he has been promoted all the way. Now that the new leadership has come to power, he has already embraced He became a 48-year-old new lieutenant general in the leader's thigh.

Of course, this information was not said by Wu Hongfei or the relevant personnel himself, but provided by Emma, ​​and Emma's information came from Vivienne's team.

As for why Vivienne's team has this information about Wu Hongfei, it is even simpler. Although Huaguo has a strong ability to keep secrets, the resumes of major military officers in Huaguo are not so secret. Foreign spy agencies have long Check out the resumes of those officers with some military rank and some ability.Even if it's not a powerful department like the CIA, it's just the Swedish intelligence department that can get this information.As for the intelligence department in Sweden, because the head of intelligence was controlled by Vivienne, it is now run by Vivienne himself.

Not only the intelligence agencies of Sweden, but also the intelligence agencies of Norway, Denmark, and Spain are basically Vivienne's direct or indirect subordinates, because their intelligence leaders have all been tested by Vivienne's mind control technique , subconsciously controlled by Vivian, or hypnotized.

Generally speaking, Vivienne has not been unblocked because of her ability.So her abilities are limited, and some people with a firm mind cannot be controlled.So it can also be seen that the psychological quality of these intelligence chiefs is not high, far inferior to the well-trained spies under them.

However, no matter how good the psychological quality of the secret agents is, no matter how difficult it is to be controlled, they still have to listen to the above, if the above is infiltrated.Then naturally they can only dance with the baton below. How many of those secret service chiefs are from real secret service?Not all are politicians, but politicians.Eight out of ten are soft eggs.

Closer to home, according to Wu Hongfei's resume, it can be seen that Wu Hongfei is a bureaucrat who understands technology and politics.They are also considered elites in the army, and it seems that they are quite sincere to send such a person to talk to them.

during the actual conversation.Cheng Yuan also found out that although this Wu Hongfei was wearing glasses, he looked very forthright on the surface. Although he didn't go to the point of talking loudly, he didn't have any airs, and he talked a lot without breaking things. He could always find topics, no Let the conversation between the two be cold, which suits Cheng Yuan's appetite, and he is a qualified negotiator.

In comparison, his entourage is more restrained, they basically don't speak, and I don't know if it is to deliberately highlight Wu Hongfei, or these people are like this, in short, it forms a sharp contrast with Wu Hongfei, and makes people feel that Wu Hongfei is a bold person with honesty.

After a preliminary haha, the next thing is to talk about business. This Wu Hongfei didn't hide it. It turns out that he didn't talk to Cheng Yuan directly, but wanted to use Cheng Yuan as an intermediary to personally talk to people from the Austen Group, preferably Wei. Princess Wei An is on the line.

That is to say, from the very beginning, they pretended to negotiate directly with people from the Austen Group instead of negotiating with Cheng Yuan.In their eyes, Cheng Yuan is still just an agent of the western elite group, but, after all, it is not the Cold War period, the ideological conflicts are not so serious, and there are more interest demands, so Cheng Yuan's role is very important. After all, Huaguo is now asking for the Austen Group.

Today's Huaguo is no longer closed in the past, with limited knowledge of the outside world, and reform is also a period of crossing the river by feeling the stones. It is more open, and it is becoming more and more open; today's Huaguo high-level, They have long since passed through the years of war and movement. A group of educated and knowledgeable elites are in control of the political power, so they have a relatively clear understanding of the development of the outside world, especially the development of technology.

As the second largest economy in the world, although Huaguo is getting stronger and stronger in terms of economy, in terms of technology, because of its late start and many restrictions, there is still a lot of gap with developed countries in Europe and the United States. However, in the 21st century, this The gap began to become smaller and smaller.

It is indeed getting smaller and smaller. Don’t look at the fact that China is always looking down on Huaguo’s technology and that technology, and Huaguo’s technicians often say that it is not as good as foreign countries. But in fact, if you compare it vertically, for example, in the 60s and 80s, or In the seventies and [-]s, the gap was even bigger.

It can be said that 30 years ago, the level of science and technology in Huaguo was so childish that it could not even see the taillights of Western countries, and could only follow the exhaust of other countries. To make an analogy, it is like the gap between North Korea and the United States; Today, Huaguo's technological level can already reach out and touch the backs of Western countries. It seems that as long as we step up a little more, we can catch up or catch up.

It took less than 30 years for the scientific and technological workers in Huaguo to catch up with the level developed by many developed countries over hundreds of years, and the speed of catching up is gradually accelerating. This is already a very remarkable achievement.

This is the case with many things. Simply only comparing horizontally, not looking at objective factors, and just blindly belittling yourself is a problem in itself.

The economy continues to grow, science and technology continue to advance, and the military and national strength continue to increase. These things make leaders more and more confident and make high-level leaders more and more confident.Only then dare to talk about the Huaguo Dream.

However, all of this is based on knowing oneself and the enemy, but now, the large amount of new materials brought by Cheng Yuan has made Huaguo collectively feel a new round of crisis.

Everyone knows the importance of materials. For example, Huaguo's current aircraft have done a good job in aerodynamic design and avionics systems, but the key engine and aircraft fuselage materials are still far behind foreign countries.This has also caused the performance of Huaguo fighters to be unable to improve.

Why is this so?The key is that the material is not good!

It can be said that the emergence of new materials can completely bring about a technological revolution, and every technological revolution is an opportunity. If you seize it, you can rise rapidly, just like Britain during the first industrial revolution, and the second Just like the United States, Japan and Germany during the Industrial Revolution.It can quickly make Huaguo stand at the top of the world and become a super-first-rate country; if it cannot be grasped, it may be pulled away by Western countries again and continue to be reduced to a second- and third-rate country.For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, the opportunity was not seized, which caused the continuous turmoil and a century of national humiliation.

Why is the country not tough on external provocations now.Only to condemn?Why does a small Diaoyu Island only dare to fight with Japan?In the final analysis, it is not that the national strength is not good, but that the military power is not tough.However, the military strength is not tough, in the final analysis, the level of science and technology is not enough, and the materials and craftsmanship are not good enough!

No one wants to be a softie, and no one wants to be tough, but being tough doesn't mean saying harsh words like North Korea, you have to have muscles yourself.For a muscular person, even if you speak softly, people will worry about you. As a child, no matter how loud and fierce you are, people will not care about you.

The long-term pragmatic thinking has gradually made Huaguo's high-level officials realize that under the new situation, it may be difficult to fight large-scale wars between major powers, but there will be more and more local conflicts, and in order to win in local conflicts, we must Improve the scientific and technological content of the army and improve the overall technological level of the country.

For this reason, Huaguo has been working hard, and has always believed that he is at the forefront of the world in terms of materials. Unfortunately, the new materials brought by Cheng Yuan made them realize that the gap between themselves and foreign countries is not narrowing, but all of a sudden. Bigger!

Isn't that right, when Huaguo is still working hard for a few kilograms of graphene a year and is complacent, people can already export hundreds of tons, and not only for their own country, but also for several other countries They are also exported.This means that people can at least produce more than a thousand tons a year, or even a few thousand tons.

It is quite a scary thing to produce thousands of tons of new materials such as graphene per year, especially when this situation does not happen in Huaguo itself.

If this is the only way to make Huaguo realize the gap, then when the new type of fifth-generation fighter jet with unparalleled performance, the crow fighter jet, which uses a lot of new materials, makes Huaguo anxious stand up.

You know, the Crow aircraft produced by the Saab Group is said to be a fifth-generation aircraft, but it is actually a fifth-generation and a half.

Moreover, judging from what others mean, it seems that it will be put into mass production soon. Good guy, if it is really mass-produced, this western country will not only have f22, but also have this, will it still make people live?

In other words, although the F22 aircraft is now available, Huaguo still has a way to deal with it. It is not so afraid. After all, the F22 has a fatal weakness, which cannot be visually invisible. Visual monitoring methods such as satellites can prevent it in advance. Faster speed, stronger firepower, and higher stealth capabilities, especially the crow aircraft that can achieve visual invisibility, no one dares to say that it can stop it. After all, the Chinese government has done deduction. , cannot pose a threat to the crow!

In this way, if Western countries, especially Japan and South Korea, which have a good relationship with Western countries, are equipped with this... the consequences will be disastrous!

The reason why the Crow aircraft is so good is because of the application of new materials. Since the aircraft can be used, what about battleships, tanks... theoretically all can be used!

"Ming people don't talk dark words, Cheng Dong, as a Hua country, you also hope that the country can be prosperous and strong? Can it not be oppressed by others? Don't you not know the humiliation of our Hua country in the past century?"

"Of course." Cheng Yuan nodded, "My history is still passing."

"In this case, I will not hide it from you." Wu Hongfei sighed, "Cheng Dong, our country is eager to obtain the technology related to this kind of aircraft commonly known as the crow. If there is no technology, it is good to introduce more aircraft of this kind. And as far as I know, all of this is actually in the hands of the Austen Group, so we want to talk directly with the Austen Group about the introduction of technology and finished products."

"Actually, why is it so troublesome?" Cheng Yuan smiled, "After all this, don't you just want this kind of plane? It's simple, I'm in charge, just sell it to you."

"Huh? What did you say?" After being stunned for a moment, Wu Hongfei finally came to his senses, "You mean, this kind of plane can really be sold to us?"

"Yes."

"not kidding?"

"of course not."

"This, this... good, good, great!" Wu Hongfei slapped his thigh, "Cheng Dong, if this can really happen, you have made a contribution to the country."

"Hehe, it's not all due to me." Cheng Yuan smiled slightly, "Actually, for this kind of crow-type aircraft, they are interested in conducting military cooperation with Huaguo, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry They shipped the unfinished planes to China for exhibition.”

"Military cooperation?" Hearing this, Wu Hongfei became suspicious instead, "Why do they want to cooperate with us in military affairs? In my opinion, their aircraft is already quite perfect. Since they have already independently manufactured it, why should they cooperate with us?" Cooperation? What can we give them? Could it be that they want our military purchase order? Want us to buy a large number of their aircraft? The Raven fighter is actually an export type?"

"That's right!" Cheng Yuan nodded, "The crow fighter is an export-oriented fighter, and Huaguo is currently the country with the largest number of fighter jets. It has money in its pocket and the need for replacement is also very urgent. Therefore, Huaguo is an Austrian fighter. Stein Company, or the customer source that Saab Group most wants to develop.”

"You mean, Saab can not only provide us with a few planes, but also provide them in large quantities?" Wu Hongfei continued to ask.

"Yes." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "The news I got is that if Huaguo is willing to buy, and if the purchase quantity is enough, then Saab can not only provide you with the actual aircraft, but also provide technical support. That is to say, some technologies can be authorized to you, so that you can produce some parts of this aircraft yourself. Hehe, what do you think of this condition?" (To be continued...)
