Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Every time an F-16 fighter jet takes off, it first has to ask for the opinions of US advisers.

US advisers disagreed, and not a single F-16 aircraft could be flown.

This is why.

There had been several air battles with the Curry Kingdom before, and each time the Bayang Kingdom ended in a disastrous defeat.

The military department issued a combat order, but the White Eagle Country pilots were unable to take off and fight immediately.

It was necessary to communicate with the American advisers first, and the back and forth took a lot of time.

The military situation is urgent and does not allow for any negligence, but this delayed communication method has existed for a long time.

In view of this, the Bayang Kingdom will set its sights on the Dragon Kingdom and the Gaul Fighters.

Since the fighter jets purchased are not American, the American advisers have no right to interfere.

Gaul's Mirage fighters are very expensive. Even a second-rate Mirage fighter can cost several million US dollars in second-hand price.

Not to mention, the new Gallic models Mirage 2000 and Mirage 4000.

One of the two models costs nearly 50 million US dollars, and the other costs more than 60 million US dollars.

Even if the State of Pakistan sold all its belongings and borrowed money from desert financiers, it still could not buy a few Mirage 2000s and Mirage 4000s.

Purchasing second-hand Mirage fighters and buying a batch of J-8 fighters from Longguo became the best option for Bayangguo.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the rooftop restaurant.

The reception dinner of Bayang Kingdom was held in the form of a round table, with several people sitting around a table.

The table was filled with local specialties of Bayang Kingdom.

The host and the guests were drinking and chatting happily, and no one could tell that the Bayang Kingdom was in a state of war.

After three rounds of drinks, General Mahmoud looked at the adjutant next to him.

The adjutant said, "General Lin, I heard that your country recently displayed a new type of surface weapon, which seems to be a missile speedboat. The speedboat is equipped with anti-ship missiles and can pose a direct threat to large warships. I wonder...

Lin Kaifeng understood what he meant and smiled faintly, "General, in addition to purchasing fighter jets, is your country also planning to purchase a batch of missile boats?"

General Mahmoud said embarrassedly: "We have such an idea, but I heard that your missile speedboat costs 30 million US dollars each. We really can't afford this price."

Lin Kaifeng said: "If your country wants to improve its coastal defense capabilities, I have an idea."

"What's the idea?"

General Mahmoud asked hurriedly.

"Lease."

"Lease?"

General Mahmoud looked at his adjutant next to him, and the adjutant shook his head.

He also didn't understand what Lin Kaifeng meant by leasing.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "General, the so-called lease means that you pay a sum of money to rent a missile speedboat from our country. Both parties set up a lease period, and when the time is up, the missile speedboat will be returned to our country."

"Is this okay?"

General Mahmoud was dumbfounded.

"It certainly won't work if it's other countries. After all, we are friendly neighbors. We have a common enemy, the Curry Country. Everyone knows the country's ambitions. To use the words of our Dragon Country, it's Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it."

"Yes, yes, yes. Curry Country is a crazy country. Every time it gets a large amount of arms, it will immediately play the card of military attack, posing a military threat to its neighboring countries."

General Mahmoud continued, "General Lin, if the leasing method is officially approved, how many missile speedboats can you lease to us?"

Lin Kaifeng raised a finger, and General Mahmoud said with a little disappointment: "Ten missile speedboats, I'm afraid..."

"Your Excellency the General has misunderstood. It's not ten ships, it's one hundred."

"The rental fee for a ship is one million dollars a year, and it only costs 100 million to rent one hundred ships."

When these words were spoken, General Mahmoud and the accompanying officers showed expressions of shock.

Longguo is not a lease at all, it is simply a loan for free.

The rental cost of one hundred anti-ship missile speedboats is only $100 million, and the lease period is up to one year.

It will take about half a year to receive the speedboat and strengthen training.

in other words.

With only half a year left, the Bayang Kingdom will have a powerful navy.

The Curry Navy can no longer pose a threat to the Bayang Kingdom.

Whether in terms of population or land area, the comprehensive strength of Curry Country is five times that of Pakistan.

With huge comprehensive strength, the amount of funds that can be mobilized is naturally unprecedentedly large.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the Curry Navy.

They have aircraft carriers, missile destroyers, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft.

The Bayang Kingdom had none of these.

Both countries have a large number of ports and coastal areas. If the maritime power of the State of Bayang is not strong, it will not be able to guarantee the security of its coastal areas.

The Curry Navy can implement a maritime blockade and sea strikes on the Bayang Kingdom at any time and anywhere.

Because of its lack of air power, the Bayang Kingdom had neither sea control nor air control.

Even if the Bayang State could gain a certain advantage in ground combat, it would be unable to expand its victory, let alone maintain it.

The outcome will be the same as in previous wars, victory followed by defeat.

The tactics were victorious, but the battle was a complete failure.

"Sir, urgent information!!!"

In the second half of the welcoming dinner, a colonel from the Bayang Kingdom rushed into the banquet hall.

The visitor said breathlessly: "The intelligence agency... the intelligence agency has obtained an important piece of information..."

Then, the colonel who was reporting the intelligence suddenly shut his mouth.

I didn’t expect there were so many Dragon people in the venue.

General Mahmoud glanced at Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng said in an understanding tone: "General, it's getting late. We should go back to our rooms and rest."

"Someone, send General Lin and his entourage back to their rooms to rest."

Soon, all the Dragon people in the banquet hall left. General Mahmoud comforted them, "Don't panic. What happened?"

"Sir, our intelligence personnel lurking in Curry Country have received news that Curry Country will organize a high-level military officer delegation to visit the Soviet Union to discuss arms purchases. It is said that they intend to purchase Su-27 fighter jets."

When they heard the words "Su-27 fighter jet", the generals of the Bayang Kingdom who remained at the banquet were horrified.

General Mahmoud shook his body and asked nervously, "Has the news been confirmed?"

The colonel said with a sad face: "Sir, there is currently no source to corroborate the news, but we can make further observations. If Curry Country really sends a large number of officers to the Soviet Union, it proves that they really want to buy Su-27 fighters."

The Su-27 fighter is one of the most powerful heavy fighters currently available.

It is also the Soviet fighter jet that the United States fears the most.

The United States and Pakistan occasionally share intelligence.

I have heard a lot about the Su-27 fighter jet from the United States.

This high-altitude heavy fighter of the Soviet Union has strong firepower and high speed.

It is superior to the various MiG fighters equipped by Curry Country.

The Americans also said that even if two Mirage 2000s were to deal with one Su-27, they might not be able to shoot down the Su-27.

The fact that it has received high praise from the United States shows how powerful the Su-27 fighter is.

For the remaining days, General Mahmoud was absent-minded and accompanied Lin Kaifeng to visit the military factories and military units of the Bayang Kingdom.
