The Soviet Union has always supported a huge army. From the Brerìnev era to the present, the Soviet army is a powerful existence in this world. They must not be reduced. If this head is opened, then the future , are in danger.

Thinking of Kuznetsov and others behind him, Vladimir felt full of confidence. This is why he dared to confront the general secretary publicly and threatened to resign.

But then, he heard a voice: "As the first general secretary of the Soviet zhōngyāng committee, I accept your resignation. Please complete the handover work within three days. Yuri-Pavlovich-Mark General Simov will be the commander of the new Strategic Rocket Force and at the same time be promoted to deputy minister of defense."

Hearing this voice, Vladimir didn't seem to believe his ears. With just one sentence, Gorbachev dismissed himself?

At this time, Gorbachev was in a very calm mood. He knew that he had to be a little stronger in order to gradually stabilize the regime. These old people would withdraw from the stage of history sooner or later, and the Soviet Union belonged to him.

Now, it was Vladimir who broke the rules. He actually showed his prestige to himself and threatened to resign. Therefore, he naturally agreed to his resignation. Otherwise, he, the general secretary, would rather not do it than do it. So useless, he is the supreme leader of the Soviet Union!

Under the circumstances, no one, including Gromyko, would support Vladimir. In any case, he offered to resign on his own initiative.Therefore, the people behind Vladimir cannot jump out and interfere.

In this way, people in the military can see clearly that they are the supreme leader of the Soviet Union!Your own words are authoritative.

To control the army, one must let someone you trust take power. Minister of Defense Ustinov resigned due to illness and let Sergey become Minister of Defense. This is a good opportunity. This time Vladimir came to protest , Sergey was not involved.

Vladimir resigned, just in time for another person he trusted, Yuri, to take over the position.

Yuri was born in a peasant family in Tambov Province. During the Great Patriotic War, he participated in the construction of Moscow fortifications and joined the Soviet Army in August 1942.He has experienced many battles and been wounded several times, and even received a death notice at home.At the same time, he is also gradually rising.Since 8, he has successively served as the first deputy commander of the Belarusian Military District, the deputy commander of the Turkestan Military District, and the commander commanded the 1969th Army to occupy Afghanistan. After that, he was fully responsible for the logistics support of the Afghan War. In 40, he served as the commander-in-chief of the southern direction. He did not belong to any faction and was one of the military personnel that Gorbachev valued. This time, given this opportunity, he was naturally promoted.

Gorbachev's vision is very good, even in later generations, the famous 8-19 incident, the military, including the Minister of Defense, participated, and Yuri did not participate. One of the chiefs of the military on active duty.

After this incident, there was no reaction. Gromyko did not make any comments. In the subsequent discussion meeting, no one came out to oppose the action of reducing nuclear weapons proposed by Gorbachev.

This was a victory for Gorbachev, and he began to really take control of the Soviet Union gradually.However, he also knew that those people behind were just watching him, but in short, he did the right thing this time.

Chapter 926 From Xifei to Shenfei

Just when Qusai had started to arrange the purchase of the cut-off weapons of the Soviet Union, another piece of good news that made him very happy came: Cheng Fei proposed to Iraq in writing that he was willing to cooperate with Iraq to develop a weapon for the 21st century. New Fighter!

Shenfei, which the Air Force attaches the most importance to, can transport the J-2 fighter jet that has just been developed and changed to air intakes on both sides to the United States for modification. Then, Chengfei attracts foreign investment and jointly develops a new fighter jet. This proposal , finally obtained the approval of the Supreme Leader.

The country is waiting to be rebuilt, and all walks of life are waiting for capital investment to achieve stable economic growth. Therefore, relying solely on state investment, this fighter will definitely develop slowly, and if it cooperates with Western countries, it does not meet the country's requirements. Interests, Iraq and China have no direct conflict of interest. On the contrary, the two countries have carried out close cooperation in recent years. In the field of military industry, it is precisely because of Iraqi capital investment that many domestic projects have continued. Moreover, many There have been breakthroughs in all aspects, such as Turbofan-[-] and Yun-[-]. These projects cannot do without the support of Iraq.

Although secrecy is very important for new domestically developed fighters, if the door is closed, the road will be very tortuous. For a long time, although Iraq's research and development capabilities have been weaker, Iraq has always been in contact with the most advanced technology in the West. Therefore, cooperation with Iraq is also in line with domestic needs.

In the West, in order to share costs, joint research and development has begun to show signs. For example, the Tornado fighter jet is the product of cooperation between the two countries.

In this way, after careful consideration, Iraq's participation in the No. [-] project was finally approved.

The ancient city of Xi'an.

Here, it used to be the ancient capital of emperors of many dynasties, and in the new era, it also exudes new brilliance.

The Xi'an Aircraft Research Institute located here has been working hard for the national defense of New China. Now, they are undertaking the task of designing fighter-bombers, the JH-[-].

After experiencing dystocia in later generations, it finally became a soaring flying leopard, and now, at the end of 85, this fighter has initially exposed its sharp teeth.

After the Iraqis joined in, they followed the engineers of Institute 603 and went through the design phase of this model. In the design phase, they were not only learning from others, but also put forward many opinions of their own.

The front three-piece windshield is quite outdated and will seriously block the pilot's sight. It should be replaced by a single-piece streamlined windshield.

At the same time, raising the cockpit slightly will increase the windward area, but the pilot will get a better line of sight. Moreover, the pilot in the rear seat should be higher than the front seat, so that the pilot in the rear can also get a certain view.

The joystick should be designed more scientifically. Various buttons can be placed on the joystick to achieve operations without leaving the joystick. These are small aspects.

On the big side, the Iraqis insisted on using the 1553B data bus technology for this fighter, so that various distributed electronic devices can be connected to form a comprehensive avionics system. On Iraqi fighters, Mirage 4000, The F-20 has such avionics systems, and for the designers of XAC, these are almost completely new.

Now, these advanced avionics equipment are still in the research and development stage. It is very risky to use these avionics before they have achieved complete success. In the end, under the wise leadership of the chief designer Chen Yijian Next, finally decided to use this avionics system that is still under development!

Chen Yijian is very innovative. During the design process of the JH-2, he insisted on introducing paperless computer design schemes from the West, which proved to be a very successful choice.Now, when there is no fighter jet in China that uses this kind of avionics system, he resolutely decided to use this kind of avionics system. (Super Seven is an export version, and the J-[-]-[-] project has not yet started).

And the other thing that made them most gratified was the power of the JH-9, the imitation of the turbofan-[-] engine.

The JH-202 uses the British Spey MK[-] engine. After years of investigation, China has finally made up its mind to introduce dozens of engines from the other party's inventory, and at the same time introduce a full set of production equipment and processing technology, including training its own technology. Personnel, this project cost China precious funds, [-] million U.S. dollars!

After experiments, Chinese personnel were able to process qualified engines using blanks produced in the UK, but later, this project encountered great resistance, and the imitation work was intermittent, and more importantly, it lost financial support. , All the equipment bought with a huge amount of money were idle there for nothing. The country could have narrowed the gap with the world's advanced power by relying on this project, but this project almost fell by the wayside. In later generations, the imitation turbofan nine , It was not until the first ten years of the new century that the imitation was completely successful, so that the fighters produced later had to use engines imported from the United Kingdom that had been sealed by the other party.

However, since Qusay has participated in this project, he will never tolerate the huge loopholes in this project. If the heart problem cannot be solved, everything is useless. Therefore, the capital investment from Iraq has also entered the subsystem of JH-[-] , the localization of turbofan nine.

Although there have been some problems with the use of domestic rough-processed parts, this project is still going on and has not been slack. It is expected that after the JH-[-] completes the test flight, this engine will mature.

During the development process, the Chinese and Iraqi designers have cultivated a very good relationship.

But now, the situation has changed. Many of them have received transfer orders and are about to leave XAC and transfer to Chengfei.

Qu Sai was very supportive of Project No. [-], but it was almost impossible for him to send a large number of experts there again.

But now, the JH-[-] has completed the model development and entered the stage of manufacturing the prototype and preparing for the flight test. Therefore, he decided to transfer most of the personnel from Xi'an Aircraft Corporation to Chengdu Aircraft Corporation to participate in the development of the No. [-] project. .

Although it is also very important to expose problems and improve them in the later test flight, the number of personnel needed is less, so more than 20 personnel have been set aside, led by the deputy captain of the Iraqi team, Hataki, to continue to fly Xifei, carry out the JH-[-] project.The remaining nearly [-] personnel, led by Captain Weeks, were transferred to Chengfei.

Among these designers, there are more than a dozen senior Arab engineers who have returned from the West, and Captain Weeks is an engineer who once worked for Lockheed in the United States. The rest, more than 50 are from Iraq. Some of the college graduates have studied abroad, and some are elites from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Arab countries. The team they are forming now has a strong technical level, especially after more than two years In the joint design of XAC, they have already had a clear idea for the design of a specific project.

Before joining Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, Weeks returned to Iraq and was cordially received by President Qusay. Now, on the plane, he is still recalling the teachings of President Qusay.

"This project of Chengfei is of great significance. This is a key project of the Eastern countries. Moreover, the results of this project are also very gratifying. In the world, there will be more ones that are compatible with F-16, MiG-29, Mirage 2000 An excellent aircraft of the same class," Qusay said.

"Yes, we will definitely work hard." Weeks said, he knew what President Qusay meant, when the project was completed, they also needed to have full development capabilities.

"From this project, we have to learn the development process of an advanced fighter. Among them, the defects of our existing technology are mainly in the airframe design and flight control. I hope that when our team completes this project, You can understand all the technologies of our Mirage 4000 and make improvements on this basis," said Qusay.

Only then did Weeks know that the president really had far-sightedness. Now that the production line has been introduced, it does not mean that Iraq has all the technology. They want to make all these fighters their own. The only way is to use this method, reverse mapping , The principle is thoroughly understood.

"Moreover, when the Chinese side is designing this fighter, we can add some of our own opinions at an appropriate time, for example, let this fighter reduce the radar reflection area as much as possible, such as shielding the engine fan blades, etc. , to reduce the probability of being discovered by the enemy." Qu Sai continued to mention.

The current design of fighter jets has not taken stealth into consideration. For example, the Su-27 looks tall and powerful, as if riding on two engines. The air intake of the engines is relatively short. The blades can reflect many radar waves, increasing the radar reflection area.

A comprehensive stealth like the F-22 is not yet possible, but after partial details are processed, it can still have a good effect.

Hearing President Qusay's words, Weeks was surprised by him even though he knew that the president had far-sightedness. The invisibility is something that the United States has only begun to pay attention to. (At least that's what people think right now, they don't know yet, the F-117 is out there.)

Of course, President Qusay also had something he couldn’t consider. After listening to the president’s instructions, Weeks asked cautiously: “President Qusay, we want to have full research and development capabilities. We need to introduce some large-scale R&D equipment."

"What device?" Qusay asked.

"Wind tunnel." Weeks said: "With the wind tunnel, we can study the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft. The aerodynamic shape of a fighter plane has the most direct factor for the performance of the aircraft."

Chapter 927 Rajavi's visit

Although China lags behind in electronic equipment, it is still relatively advanced in some fields, such as wind tunnels, which are essential for designing aircraft.

Whether the aerodynamic shape and design of the aircraft is suitable is a complex problem of fluid mechanics. In many cases, physical modeling cannot solve the problem, and it can only be done through experiments. Test flight, needless to say how risky it is, is unacceptable in terms of funds, because it is necessary to repeatedly experiment with various layouts to find the most excellent aerodynamic shape.

Therefore, we can only let the model of the aircraft in the wind tunnel through the wind tunnel, and artificially blow the air on the model to observe the appearance of the airflow passing through the model and determine whether the shape is suitable.

A good plane is blown out, this is definitely not bragging.
