Leader Jing was a little unhappy when he heard Liu Xingchang's dislike:
"What's wrong with two? Are you still not satisfied? What if they just flew two planes here to test the waters? I'm warning you, you must be polite to Comrade Lin Sanqi later.
He is a donkey. If you are polite to him, he will be more polite to you in return. If you glare at him, believe it or not, he will turn around and walk away without paying any attention to you.
Liu Xingchang smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be possible? He's a meritorious official. I can't flatter him enough."
After more than ten trucks approached the airport, they immediately dispersed and surrounded it. Hundreds of soldiers jumped out of the trucks and guarded the airport with weapons in hand.
The two jeeps teleported directly to the foot of the plane. Before they stopped, a middle-aged military officer jumped out of the car.
Yang Shufeng couldn't wait any longer. He jumped out of the car without even bothering to say hello to Lin Sanqi. His eyes were only focused on the two planes in front of him.
He was seen trembling with joy, and was completely immersed in great surprise:
"It's a MiG-21, haha, it's really a MiG-21, eh, there seems to be some difference."
While circling around the J-7, Yang Shufeng quickly replayed the MiG-21 model he had seen in Bulgaria in his mind, but he always felt that something was not right.
The early J-7 actually looked exactly the same as the MiG-21, because we built it according to Soviet drawings.
However, later models of the J-7, such as the J-7E/G in front of us, adopt a double-delta wing design, which is intended to improve the sea level climb rate and maximum turning angular velocity.
The MiG-21 has a traditional delta-wing appearance.
Aircraft enthusiast Yang Shufeng became a little crazy when he looked at the J-7 in front of him. Lin Sanqi did not blame him for being impolite. He just liked pure people.
At this time, Leader Jing and Liu Xingchang couldn't wait to get out of the car. When they saw the two planes in front of them, their eyes were also full of fighting spirit and surprise.
When Lin Sanqi saw the superiors of his two immediate superiors coming, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Hello, Chief!"
Liu Xingchang laughed heartily and stepped forward. After returning the greeting, he suddenly patted Lin Sanqi's shoulder:
"Well, well, well, Comrade Sanqi, you're great! You've brought back such an advanced aircraft for us. You're truly a first-class hero to the country and a great hero to our Air Force. I, Liu Xingchang, thank you so much."
Leader Jing also looked at Lin Sanqi with satisfaction, but did not forget to ask:
"Comrade Sanqi, please tell us about the origins of these two planes."
Lin Sanqi felt very happy that he could make his own contribution to the 1960s, so he nodded and said:
"Leaders, these two planes are extraordinary. Please don't ask which country they came from or how they got here.
But you just need to remember that the fighter in front of you is an improved version of the MiG-21. It adopts a newly designed double-delta wing, which further improves its maneuverability at medium and low altitudes. There are two pylons under each wing.
In normal mode, my aircraft can carry 3 auxiliary fuel tanks and 2 close-range combat missiles, such as the PL-5 or PL-8 series.
It uses a turbojet 13F engine, as well as a series of new technologies and systems such as a head-up display, a new avionics system, a new chaff/flare dispenser, etc.
Its overall combat capability is significantly improved compared to the Soviet Union's existing MiG-21. It can be said that although they look similar, in a real fight, this fighter jet can completely defeat the MiG-21."
When Liu Xingchang heard this, his eyes lit up even more: "More advanced than the MiG-21?"
Lin Sanqi nodded and said, "Far ahead."
Yang Shufeng also trotted over at this time and asked:
"Comrade Sanqi, how does this fighter jet you mentioned compare to the US F-8 fighter jet? Which one is more advanced?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled and said confidently:
"Forget the F-8 fighter jets. Even the F-4 Phantom, which the US military just put into service last year, is far inferior to the fighter jet in front of me."
What Lin Sanqi obtained were the late mature models of the J-7, such as the E-type and G-type, which were almost close to the J-10.
As for the J-10, who is it? It can crush the French Rafale aircraft to the ground and rub it again and again, and the Rafale is known as the fourth-generation and a half fighter.
After saying that, Lin Sanqi pointed to a box next to the plane and said:
"All the operating manuals, maintenance and repair manuals for this aircraft are in it. Let me make it clear first, I can fly this fighter, but that's just flying. It's definitely not enough for combat. Our Air Force needs to figure it out on its own."
Yang Shufeng's hands itched when he heard this, and he wanted to test fly it right away, but he knew that flying a plane was not like driving a tractor, so he couldn't do it blindly:
"Comrade Sanqi, we don't know how to fly this new aircraft. What should we do?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "No, you will definitely be able to fly it. As long as you are a pilot who can fly a J-6, the J-7 will be no problem at all. You just need to read the manual for the details."
Liu Xingchang narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Comrade Sanqi, what do you call this plane? J-7?"
What Lin Sanqi didn't know was that China actually had a plan for the J-7 fighter jet. This story started a few years ago:
In the late 1950s, we began to take great interest in the former Soviet Union's MiG-21 fighter jet. At that time, Sino-Soviet relations were still in their honeymoon period, so we planned to introduce the MiG-21 from the Soviet Union.
Later, due to cracks in Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet Union did not want to provide this type of fighter to China.
In 1961, Liu Xingchang personally led a Chinese aviation technology delegation, including experts in aircraft, engines, airborne equipment, and materials, to Moscow to begin negotiations on the introduction of MiG-21 fighter jets.
At that time, Liu Xingchang also visited the Gorky Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, which was producing the MiG-21 aircraft. This factory had never been visited by Chinese people before.
But the Russians had a very bad conscience and did not fully fulfill the agreement, going back on their word.
In fact, my country did not obtain most of the technical data of the MiG-21 in the end, and the documents we got contained many errors, which was intentional.
So in fact, China already has a J-7 plan and has already implemented it. It’s just that because the Soviet Union tricked us once, the development of the J-7 has fallen into trouble.
But this matter was top secret, so it aroused Liu Xingchang's vigilance again.
Lin Sanqi didn't care. He was a modern person who knew about the J-35. How could he be interested in a top-secret fighter jet from the 1960s?
Knowing that he had let something slip, Lin Sanqi found an excuse to fool around:
"Oh, that's right. If we bring this fighter jet to China, we can't call it the MiG-21, right? That way, the big country to the north will start to get angry again, saying we stole their plane.
I was planning to bring in several types of advanced fighter jets of this type, so we had to give them our own names. So after the J-5 and J-6, the J-7 was next in line.
Liu Xingchang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the secret had not been leaked, and then he was surprised again:
"J-7 is great. As long as there are enough fighters, we can definitely name it a new model. Comrade Sanqi, how many of these fighters are you planning to get?"
Lin Sanqi thought about it. Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group told him that there would be more than 600 aircraft, but there would always be unexpected events, so he had to be conservative.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no less than 500 aircraft, but they will not arrive all at once. They will arrive in batches and phases, and the total duration should be more than half a year."
“Oh my god~~~”
The air force personnel at the scene all exclaimed in surprise.
Although this mysterious fighter jet suspected to be the MiG-21 has not yet been test-flown, its appearance alone shows that it is much more advanced than the J-6. And look at the missiles hanging underneath. Are you kidding me?
If there are 500 such fighter jets in the country, the sky will be high and free for birds to fly, and the US military will call them daddy when they encounter them.
When Liu Xingchang and the air force personnel heard this, they sang and danced happily. However, Leader Jing, who was in charge of the entire country's military supplies and equipment, was a little worried.
How much would five hundred state-of-the-art fighter jets cost? How could China possibly afford this?
The Air Force doesn't care. Not to mention 500 planes, they want 550,000, the more the better.
Just look at Liu Xingchang, whose eyebrows are flying with excitement, and you will know how happy he is.
Yang Shufeng was about to look at the fighter's operating manual when Lin Sanqi stopped him:
"Don't be so impatient. Don't just focus on the fighter jets. Do you see this tall, big, and handsome passenger plane next to us? This is the Xian MA60, which can easily carry fifty or sixty people.
If we don't use it as a passenger plane, we can also use it as a cargo transport plane, ocean monitoring plane, aerial survey plane, detection plane, and so on. This is a great thing, it can definitely be used for many purposes. (End of this chapter)
