Chapter 342: Designing a fighter jet? Can she do it?
The cause is that the Monkey Kingdom has repeatedly provoked and provoked multiple conflicts between the two sides, which has caused casualties among border guards.
Minister Shen worriedly expressed on the phone that the other party was so rampant that the two sides might eventually have to go to war.
Speaking of the Monkey Kingdom, anyone with a correct outlook on life would probably sigh that it is ungrateful.
In the words of the Red People, this is a mountain wolf.
Just over a decade ago, the Monkey Country had not yet gained independence and was invaded by two big powers, almost becoming their colony. It was their Red Country that provided manpower and weapons to help them repel the invaders and establish their own country.
Even when the country was experiencing a natural disaster, the Red Country tightened its belt and sent food and material support to the Monkey Country.
Logically speaking, this kindness is not only a timely help, but also a deep friendship from a similarly poor "neighbor".
However, great kindness can be like great hatred, and the Monkey Kingdom does not appreciate this kindness at all.
Even because of the Red Country's national policy of being friendly with neighboring countries in order to achieve stable development, the Monkey Country regards it as an object to be bullied.
Just as the Red Country helped them repel foreign enemies, they turned around and used the weapons and supplies provided by the Red Country to invade the Red Country's border territories.
On the C Sea, they even unscrupulously invaded the islands of the Red Country.
Before Lu Chiyu traveled through time in his previous life, the Monkey Kingdom even occupied the Red Kingdom's island in the C Sea and refused to return it.
Over the past ten or nearly twenty years, the Red Country and the Monkey Country have been in constant conflict of various sizes, and countless border guards have sacrificed their lives every year.
According to Minister Shen, last year the Monkey Country intensified its provocations against their Red Country, and this time they were aiming for an all-out war between the two sides.
So far, the two sides have had several military conflicts of varying sizes.
In her previous life, although Lu Chiyu was not well-versed in the modern history of their country, she still knew about the major events that had occurred.
So she knew that a war would break out between the two sides in the late 1970s.
However, because the Red Country in this world is more powerful than in her previous life, the provocations from the Monkey Country to the Red Country are obviously not as many as in her previous life. Lu Chiyu once thought that this battle could be avoided.
Unexpectedly, what was supposed to come finally came, but it broke out a little later than in the previous life.
This time, in addition to telling Lu Chiyu about the impending war, Minister Shen's main purpose was to transfer Lu Chiyu to develop a fighter jet.
A few days ago, in a small battle in the southwest of our country, the brave air force soldiers unexpectedly shot down a fighter plane of Country B.
This is actually a fourth-generation fighter jet that is at the leading level in the world!
You know, at present, the most advanced fighter jets in their Red Country are only the second generation.
I heard that a few years ago, their Red Country just had the opportunity to come into contact with the second-generation fighter jets of Country F, and they were already amazed at the time.
Now they actually shot down a fourth-generation aircraft. How could Lu Chiyu not be surprised? Their air force fighters are simply awesome.
It is hard to imagine how their air force fighters were able to shoot down fighter planes that were worlds ahead of them with their outdated fighter planes. This can be called a miracle!
Lu Chiyu could even imagine how shocked and upset Country B was right now, but it was their fault. It was their fault for not being able to control their fighter planes and always flying around the border of their Red Country.
Who knows what role this bored country B played in the conflict between the Red Country and the Monkey Country.
This time, Minister Shen wanted Lu Chiyu to take a look at this fighter jet and see if it could be built.
Yes, before this, Lu Chiyu successfully manufactured them with only a salvaged unmanned submarine from Country B and three torpedoes.
Even the unmanned submarines and torpedoes they produced are several orders of magnitude more advanced than those of Country B. Now these two have become the powerful weapons of their Red Country's coastal defense.
Therefore, Minister Shen and his team are very confident that Lu Chiyu can study Country B's fourth-generation aircraft and produce advanced fighter jets for their Red Country.
Hearing Minister Shen's confidence in herself on the other end of the phone, Lu Chiyu couldn't help but twitch her lips. She began to reflect on whether she had exerted too much force in the past.
However, she did not intend to suddenly come here to cover up her edge, because Minister Shen and the outside world have already accepted the fact that she is a genius.
Moreover, during this era, the Red Country was struggling to gain a foothold in the international arena, while the country was impoverished and weak. Under such circumstances, she had no room to hide her abilities.
But that was the fact, there were some things she still had to say in advance.
After hearing Minister Shen's invitation, Lu Chiyu pondered for a moment and said, "Minister Shen, you know, my past research directions have all been on naval weapons. This is my first time working on a fighter jet, so I really can't guarantee that I can build it."
Sure enough, Minister Shen calmed down a little after hearing this, and quickly comforted him: "It's okay, Comrade Lu Chiyu, don't feel pressured, just do your best this time.
We all know that making fighter jets is not an easy task. We will have no objection to whatever is made at the time. It is not necessary to make all four generations of fighter jets in one go. In short, don't feel pressured.
What's more, you are pregnant now. In fact, we don't want to assign you such a big task at this juncture when the development of C Sea has not been completed.
But the situation in the southwest is really tense now. I don’t know when the war between the two countries will officially break out. What is most worrying is that country B may also be involved.
Recently, fighter jets from country B have frequently appeared in the southwest, which seriously threatens the security of our airspace. Without advanced fighter jets, we will not have the confidence to guard our airspace, so it is really important for our country to research advanced fighter jets.
Comrade Lu Chiyu is dissatisfied with what you said. "I have a hope in my heart that if you can develop an advanced fighter, if this fighter can appear on the battlefield with the Monkey Kingdom, it will definitely become a trump card for our side."
Lu Chiyu was shocked when she heard Minister Shen's words. The other party had such great confidence in her!
If she remembered correctly, the war between the Red Country and the Monkey Country would break out next year. Even if it was delayed, it should have happened in the next two years.
Minister Shen thinks she can develop this fighter within a year or two?
Lu Chiyu didn't know what to feel about such belief. You know, a country may not produce any results even after more than ten years of research on fighter jets.
