Rebirth of the Flying Era

Du Fei knew what was going on when he saw these two people.

 Regarding the F-1 agreement with America this time, Beijing also provided support.

 Otherwise, things would not have gone so smoothly.

This was originally a compromise between both parties. If there were no flowers and fruits behind it, Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng alone would not be enough.

 As for the cooperative F-1 fighter jet, it may fall into the hands of Huaguo.

This was originally planned, but it cannot be said openly that Kuching is needed as a springboard.

At this time, America had absolute confidence in technology. They believed that even if they gave the aircraft, or even the blueprints, to Huaguo, they would not be afraid that Huaguo could imitate their fighter planes.

Different from the system engineering of SLA weapons, America and Western weapons rely more on the integration of existing technology solutions.

America rarely designs and manufactures a completely new system for a weapon, but instead looks for existing things and combines them.

 Whether it is a fighter jet or a tank, it is the same number.

 The prerequisite for being able to do this is that they have a leading technological foundation.

  Comparatively, Sailian adopted a similar approach due to its backward basic technology, and the final product will definitely have inferior performance.

There is no other way but to rely on the technology at hand to systematically redesign and integrate it.

Try to make it have a comprehensive performance that rivals America's.

The designs of SULIN’s fighter jets, tanks, and submarines are eye-catching.

 It is precisely because of these fantastic ideas that Sulian can compete with America in the arms race despite being one generation behind in industrial technology.

 The teacher of Huaguo Industrialization is Sulian, and he is also following the path of Sulian, but his foundation is worse and his ability is weaker.

 There is no reliable industrial base sufficient to manufacture third-generation fighter jets.

 So, America is not worried about imitation of flowers and fruits at all.

Furthermore, in America's view, the F-1 developed by Duffy and Northrop itself was not very advanced.

 In their eyes, the F-14 and F-15 are the most advanced and powerful third-generation fighters, followed by the F-16 that won the bidding, and the YF-17 that failed was not very good.

Even if Huaguo were to figure out the technology of the YF-17, it would be more than ten or even twenty years later, by which time they would already have fourth-generation fighters.

It is precisely because of this confidence that America provided the plane to Du Fei half-heartedly.

In fact, their idea is absolutely correct. At the current level, Huaguo is indeed unable to understand most of the technologies of third-generation fighters.

 But this opened a breakthrough.

You must know that when we were working on the nuclear boat, we had never even seen the real thing. We relied on a toy model.

 At least there are real aircraft now, not only the physical objects but also the assembly drawings.

It’s just that the various subsystem parts inside must be imported from America, and it is inevitable that they will be stuck.

 After coming out of the airport, Du Fei first had a meeting with Wang Dongming and the person from China.

After introduction, Du Fei knew that the man's surname was Zhang. He had worked as a secretary for Director Nie and was currently responsible for the promotion of the J8 Reform project.

Director Zhang’s eyes were bright, and he was obviously very excited, but he controlled his emotions and asked about the specific situation of the F-1 fighter jet.

Du Fei answered one by one, and finally said: "Director Zhang, Dongming, I think so. According to the current situation, it is not realistic to directly introduce F-1 into the country. We must consider the domestic public opinion of America. It is best to We can transfer relevant domestic technical comrades to join the aircraft assembly factory in Kuching, and then carry out targeted imitation..."

 Both Director Zhang and Wang Dongming took out notebooks to record. Although Director Zhang was not at a low level, he knew Du Fei's situation.

 The young man in front of him actually pulled out the latest third-generation fighter jet from America's mouth.

You must know that starting from the earliest F-14, the emergence of third-generation fighters has only been a few years.

 Now that I have started to get involved, I can be considered to have kept up with the world's advanced level.

 Without Du Fei's efforts, we may not be able to reach this level of fighter aircraft in another ten years.

Du Fei added: "You have to eat in one bite. My idea is not to imitate the whole machine from the beginning. Start with the subsystems. Firstly, it will reduce the technical difficulty. Secondly, it will be easier to produce results. If you understand a subsystem, you can It can be taken out immediately and installed on our own aircraft..."

Director Zhang and Wang Dongming originally came here hoping to get an F-1 back for dismantling and research.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei wanted to bring over domestic technical experts.

 Director Zhang has no control over this matter.

Du Fei added: "In addition, I plan to strengthen the aviation major at Kuching University, hire professors from Europe and the United States at high prices, and cooperate with experts from Northrop Company to provide systematic teaching..."

Previously, Du Fei planned to do it at the new Fire Technology University, but under the current situation, it is not easy to invite foreign experts to the country. On the contrary, it will save a lot of trouble in Kuching.

 …

 After the meeting, Du Fei originally wanted to catch up with Wang Dongming privately.

 Unexpectedly, a phone call came at this time.

Du Fei went to pick it up and immediately frowned. He could only say sorry to Wang Dongming.

 The call just now was from Chen Fangshi.

 Half an hour later, Du Fei saw Chen Fangshi.

Chen Fangshi looked serious, picked up a telegram and handed it over, saying in a deep voice: "The news just now."

Du Fei glanced quickly.

Just over an hour ago, when Du Fei was talking to Director Zhang and Wang Dongming after getting off the plane, a large-scale conflict broke out on Sumatra Island.

Du Fei frowned and said, "What did Subian say?"

Chen Fangshi said: "Subian just sent a telegram, saying that the locals followed Sulawesi Island because they were competing for water sources..."

Du Fei curled his lips, this kind of excuse is a lie~

There used to be a lot of people in Sulawe, but compared to the people in Sumatra, they were just a drop in the bucket. If no one was behind the scenes, would they dare to come out and cause trouble?

Moreover, if nothing happened sooner or later, something would happen when Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against others in Zhenla.

 Obviously Subi is very restless and intends to take this opportunity to solve the problem in Sumatra.

Dufei had reached an agreement with Subian before, Subian gave up the legitimacy of Yinni, and Dufei recognized that Sumatra belonged to him.

However, Subian's subsequent progress was not smooth. The local faction in Sumatra saw his weakness and did not listen to him at all.

Following up, Du Fei and Subian cooperated to move the people from Sulawe Island to Sumatra, each taking advantage of their needs.

Dufy hoped to clear out the population, send people over there from Borneo, and completely occupy Sulawesi Island and some of the original islands further east.

Subian introduced a third-party force to help him break the current deadlock in Sumatra and check and balance those local factions.

 During this process, Subian was extremely cautious. While cooperating, he also had to guard against Du Fei.

 In his relationship with Du Fei, Du Fei occupies an absolutely powerful position. Subian is afraid that if he makes a mistake, he will be swallowed up by Du Fei.

 This is not impossible.

This sudden attack was probably due to the fact that Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng had devoted their strength to the battlefield of Zhenla and had no time to take care of it, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture Sumatra.

Subian had some strategic vision and realized that the war in Chenla would not be a quick one. It will take at least three to five years, or even longer.

As long as he pacifies Sumatra before then, he can stabilize his basic base and have the confidence to speak in front of Du Fei in the future.

Since he was tricked last time by secretly colluding with the Yingguo people, Subian has seen the situation clearly.

Du Fei has already gained momentum, and he has no way to compete with him, so he can only settle for the next best thing.

This was the decision to take the initiative to accept the certificate of investment.

 But having said that, seeing the situation clearly does not mean that he does not have his own Xiao Jiujiu.

It's all a refuge, worthless, letting people take whatever you want? Or do you have a bargaining chip that cannot be ignored?

 He doesn’t want to fall into the former category.

 This action was taken.

Du Fei came to the big picture on the wall and stared at the Nanyang region centered on Borneo, his brain thinking rapidly about the next step.

 Nowadays, in southern Nanyang, the situation in the original Yinni area has become very complicated due to the intervention of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.

Except for Borneo, which they firmly hold, the Java Island in the south is divided into east and west. The east is the family alliance headed by the Huang family, the west is the Yajiada faction controlled by Subian, and the west is carved up by several local factions. Sumatra.

From a geographical point of view, Du Fei definitely cannot touch Sumatra, which is the south bank of the Strait of Malacca and has extremely important strategic value.

Neither America nor Su Lian will allow Sumatra to fall into Du Fei's hands.

This is completely different from occupying the Guixu Islands and joining the Straits Co-Management Committee.

Once Du Fei reaches out, he will definitely face joint opposition from all parties.

This is why Du Fei is willing to reach an agreement with Subian and give him Sumatra.

 Sumatra is in Soubian's hands, and Du Fei can retain a certain degree of influence without being too conspicuous.

Dufey’s plan is to expand eastward. The first target is Sulawesi Island, one step at a time, bit by bit.

It would be best to move all the people on Sulawei to Sumatra.

 But Subian's sudden movement gave Du Fei a sense of urgency.

 The most important thing is that in the next few years, he and Lin Tiansheng will focus their main energy and strength on Zhenla.

Subian can understand, and other people are not stupid either. They may not be able to understand, and it is inevitable that they will have some ideas and are ready to act.

Du Fei couldn't help frowning, his expression became more serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Chen, a single move can affect the whole body. Some things can't be delayed any longer. Take the Sulawe Island immediately, and at the same time send the fleet to the Malu Islands and the Malu Islands further east. Papua cruise.”

Chen Fangshi was not particularly surprised, he thought so in his heart.

Although the heat of Sulawe Island has not yet reached its peak, it will be a little raw when you take it out now, but you can’t wait any longer now, and you have to eat even a pot of uncooked rice.

 As for the Maru Islands and Papua, they belong to horse racing. Draw the sphere of influence first to avoid being overtaken by others.

Although currently, no one can challenge Kuching’s maritime power in the South China Sea, don’t forget that it is close to Australia.

 The current Austria is not the waste that Duffy had given up on industrialization and returned to agriculture and mineral-producing countries before he traveled through it.

 At this time, Austria still retained a fairly powerful navy and even had aircraft carriers.

Australia is just south of Papua and the Maru Islands.

If they were allowed to intervene first, Du Fei would be passive.

After Du Fei and Chen Fangshi met and made the decision, various departments in Kuching immediately started functioning.

 In order to capture Sulawesi Island, the general staff in Kuching formulated a number of detailed plans.

 Making a decision at this time does not appear hasty at all.

First of all, on the Sulawe Island side, a lot of manpower has been prepared, headed by Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang.

At the same time, two destroyers and a fleet of six patrol boats headed for Sulawesi Island.

 The name is to establish a naval base on Sulawesi Island.

Because he obtained the authority of Yinni, he was almost holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. Even though everyone knew that the authority of Yajiada had long ago fallen apart, according to the prevailing international standards, Yinni was still the legitimate authority.

 The next step is to increase efforts to transport people to Sulawesi Island...

 At the same time, Du Fei communicated closely with Subian via telegram, reaffirming the previous agreement between the two parties.

Subian had Du Fei's understanding and no longer had any scruples, and his actions in Sumatra were even greater.

 Even a firefight involving nearly 10,000 people broke out in Palembang.

 However, the movement on his side was completely covered up by Zhenla.

 Just when Subian was trying to conquer Sumatra, new changes occurred on the battlefield of Chenla.

Yueguo secretly changed his generals, and the new commander was replaced by Huang Wen, who was experienced and more famous.

 This person's qualifications and abilities are not inferior to those of Wu Ting.

As soon as they arrived at the front line of Chenla, they launched a series of offensives. Taking advantage of the air superiority of the MiG-25, they set out from the north of Chenla, far away from the sea, and attacked Lin Tiansheng's flank.

Attempt to use the advantage of troops to detour from the breakthrough and adopt the "hammer and anvil tactic" to defeat Lin Tiansheng's flank.

  Huang Wen arrived secretly and added 20,000 new troops. Suddenly breaking the previous tacit understanding, Lin Tiansheng was caught off guard and took advantage of him in the early stage.

However, Lin was born with an extremely keen sense of smell, and soon discovered that the enemy's style had changed.

 In addition, the commanders on the front line were experienced in many battles. Although they suffered heavy losses, the losses were not large.

 Finding that the opponent was facing a change of generals, Lin Tiansheng was not impatient. He still played steadily and did not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

 After a month and a half of continuous fighting, the two sides invested a total of more than 100,000 troops. In the end, the Vietnamese army suffered more than 8,000 casualties and only advanced ten kilometers.

 Behind the battle line, a high ground of the Vietnamese army.

 A group of people stood at the observation point and looked across with telescopes.

Led by two old men, one is wearing a military uniform and is none other than Huang Wen.

 The other person in casual clothes turned out to be Wu Ting.

After a while, the two of them put down their telescopes at the same time. Huang Wen couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "I wanted to catch the guy opposite me off guard this time, but I didn't expect..."

Wu Ting said: "There is nothing unexpected. Don't forget whose son he is."

Huang Wen smiled bitterly: "The comrades of Sulian will not be satisfied with this result."

Wu Ting said: "If you are not satisfied, just be dissatisfied. There were more than 8,000 casualties. I can explain the past."

Huang Wendao: "I can't believe that they actually got an advanced fighter jet in America's hands."
