Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"For our S929 project, I hope to see the first flight of the aircraft within five years and officially start delivery within eight years. I still say that quality is the most important thing. The aircraft cannot withstand any quality problems. This is related to the safety of hundreds of lives in the sky. This is even more true for our large aircraft. An accident may ruin our Chinese efforts for so many years..."

In the conference room, Xu Huasheng said seriously.

The S929 project cannot have any accidents, and cannot deliver products with any problems. It is better to be slow and steady.

Originally, this project is to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. This aircraft needs to go through layers of difficulties to obtain airworthiness certificates in Europe and the United States.

And once this large aircraft has quality problems, it will directly ruin the reputation of Saxo Airlines.

So it is better to be slow and steady.

In fact, the development of the entire aircraft of this aircraft will not take five years at all. You must know that Xu Huasheng has already produced a lot of information, all of which are C929 information.

What Saxo Airlines needs to do is to absorb and digest these information and then build the aircraft. According to Xu Huasheng's estimate, the first aircraft may make its maiden flight within three years.

However, it may take a long time from the first flight to the official delivery of the first aircraft to the airline. If the intercontinental passenger aircraft does not obtain the airworthiness certificate from Europe and the United States, the market will be much smaller.

To obtain the airworthiness certificate from Europe and the United States, it is not just a matter of technical quality. In many cases, this requires political bargaining to exchange for mutual interests. After all, large aircraft are the food on the plate of Europe and the United States. Except for Europe and the United States, other countries cannot make them.

Now China has to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, grab a bite of food, which is too difficult.

However, many things have to face difficulties head-on. The first step is the most difficult. Once many things take the first step, the rest will be much simpler.

Just when China's large aircraft project was just launched and China was peaceful.

An incident happened, which immediately made Xu Huasheng worried.

On April 5, 1995, Myanmar suddenly announced that it had signed the "US-Myanmar Mutual Security Treaty" with the United States, and at the same time Myanmar announced that it would lease a military base to the United States.

The United States also announced that it would increase military and economic cooperation with Myanmar. The United States was also very generous. After signing the treaty, it announced military aid to Myanmar. The first aid was as high as 1.5 billion US dollars to help Myanmar fight domestic armed rebellion.

After the news was announced, the Chinese network exploded.

Myanmar borders China. Now the United States has signed a security agreement directly with Myanmar and allowed the United States to build a military base in its own territory. This is a very big deal.

You know, even Japan and South Korea, the loyal running dogs of the United States, do not border China.

In Yanjing, in a conference room, Xu Huasheng was called over.

In the conference room, a group of old people looked serious.

"Dear leaders, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the United States is determined this time. The weapons they provide to the Myanmar military include long-range rocket launchers, F16 fighters, and Patriot air defense missile systems. At the same time, the United States will provide technical support. The US military is preparing to build a large naval base in Myanmar. This is to block us in the Indian Ocean..."

In the conference room, a middle-aged soldier reported directly.

"It seems that the United States is also anxious. Our island-building tactics have greatly reduced the power of the first and second island chains that the United States has worked so hard to build, and even made them ineffective. Now the United States is preparing to change its way to contain us..."

An old man said coldly, which made the other old men look disdainful.

"In this case, let's compete with the United States. When have we ever been afraid of it at our doorstep? Xiaosheng, you have to increase the number of your island-building artifacts."

The leading old man looked at Xu Huasheng and said with a smile.

"Chief, don't worry about this. Next month, two new island-building artifacts will be launched. The current production capacity of island-building artifacts can build four every year. By this year, we will have six island-building artifacts. If they are not enough, we will continue to build them next year. Anyway, the advantage is in my hands, and time is in our favor. We are not in a hurry..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, which made everyone laugh.

"Yes, you fight yours, I fight mine, we can't stop building islands, keep building, the more the better, the bigger the better. As for Myanmar, let's compare our internal strength..."

The old men in the room now have confidence on their faces.

And this confidence comes from China's trump cards, which China has too many hidden cards. The United States thinks that the game has been played for the most part, but in fact China has just started.

Now China is not afraid of confronting the United States head-on at its doorstep. What's more,In Myanmar, China still has Xu Dafei.

"Uncle..."

After the meeting, Xu Huasheng was taken to a small single-family building. In the small building, Xu Huasheng saw Xu Dafei who had rushed back from the dusty road.

"Xiaosheng..."

Xu Dafei smiled slightly. After not seeing him for many days, Xu Dafei was a little darker, but he also looked much more majestic. This is the momentum of being a superior for a long time.

"Xiaosheng, the situation on Commander Xu's side is getting tense now. We think we should support them with some weapons and equipment. What kind of weapons and equipment do you think is better to support?"

An old man walked in, and Xu Huasheng was completely relieved when he saw this old man.

"Chief, I think we should provide some long-range weapons. Especially weapons that can hit American aircraft carriers. Isn't the United States going to build a naval base in Myanmar? At that time, American aircraft carriers will definitely come. I don't know if they dare to come down personally when American aircraft carriers or warships are hit here..."

Xu Huasheng's words stunned the old man.

"You mean to destroy our weapon..." The old man was halfway through his words. China now has a weapon that was tested last year. It was quite awesome. The technology of that weapon was provided by Xu Huasheng. "No, no, no, sir, it's not that time yet. Our weapon is used to destroy aircraft carriers. Destroying aircraft carriers and hitting aircraft carriers are two completely different things." Xu Huasheng's words made the old man curious. He didn't know much about technology. "Sir, if you want to hit an aircraft carrier, the most difficult thing is not to break through the aircraft carrier's defense network. It's to find an aircraft carrier in the vast ocean. Although the aircraft carrier is very large, it is too small compared to the ocean. It's like finding a grain of black sand in a big sand pit with the naked eye. It's too difficult. Why did the United States win the Battle of Midway? It was because the United States discovered Japan's aircraft carrier first, so it took the initiative..." Xu Huasheng's words made the old man and Xu Dafei in the room listen carefully. As for technology, neither of them understood, but Xu Huasheng was an expert in this area.
