Chapter 401 tit for tat

"His Excellency, if you insist on doing this, we will have to re-examine the friendship between us, including cooperation between the two parties in other fields. ◇↓◇↓ Novel.¥f"

Johnson said with a serious expression.

Of course, this is a diplomatic statement. The direct explanation is that you don’t force us to get angry, and don’t think we dare not cut you down.

"George, you can say it clearly that we have been in close to ten years of friendship, so there is no need to play these diplomatic rhetoric. If I understand correctly, what sanctions are you going to take? For example, increase tariffs on the export of American products from the Ming Dynasty, or simply select certain companies to be blacklisted, investigate my own assets in your country, or even ask your Domestic Income Agency to find excuses to seize them, etc.?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Johnson didn't say anything, but just gave him a deep look.

"Well, I admit that these measures will cause me a lot of losses, but I also have a list here. This is the amount of food, tobacco, alcohol, meat and other materials I import from your country every year. This business has been thinking about Argentines and Brazilians for a long time, and it is my friendship with you that has been rejecting them.

There are also some goods exported to your country by the Ming Dynasty, but your country itself does not have the ability to produce. In fact, there are only hundreds of medicines and dozens of high-yield crop seeds. As far as I know, 80% of your country's farmers are using these seeds now. They buy them one by one every year. It seems that many of your country's seed suppliers have gone bankrupt. I don't know what 80% of you farmers will plant if you don't have these seeds in the next season.

Ah, your country's company seems to have imported special steel and high-end aviation aluminum from the Ming Dynasty in recent years, as well as some electronic components. As far as I know, the j79 engine that General Electric is developing seems to have some important parts ordered in the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Yang Feng took out a stack of documents and said calmly.

Johnson browed.

"George, I just want to tell you that if you want to play, I will play with you."

Yang Feng said.

In fact, the cooperation between the United States and the Ming Dynasty has long been very deep. Some of the high-temperature components of the General Electric J79 engine prototype are customized at Tamron. They cannot produce the J79 that can be mass-produced this year as required by the US Air Force, and must exceed seven and a half tons of thrust, so they can only seek external help.

Even including the Niki missile, a large number of electronic equipment on American aircraft and warship missiles use Ming-made components. After all, Ming-style ranks the leading position in electronic technology, especially in transistor applications. For example, these things that completely pursue performance must be used to the best. Ming-style is not a controlled country. Like Western Europe, they can be purchased freely.

Even the latest Nautilus nuclear submarine propeller was processed at Fengtian Heavy Industries Special Metals Company.

There is no way. In the world, there are only three companies with five-axis linkage CNC machining centers, namely Yingtian Heavy Industry, Shuntian Heavy Industry and Fengtian Heavy Industry. Even the United States has only developed three-axis linkage, and the accuracy gap is very far. It is estimated that it will take three or five years to reach the level of the three companies in the Ming Dynasty. This kind of equipment is on Yang Feng’s control list.

Yang Feng is telling him this. Don’t think that you have a way to cure me, and I have a way to cure you too.

"Hisser Highness, are we like a pair of kids in kindergarten?"

Johnson suddenly said with a smile.

“I think it’s a bit like that, too.”

Yang Feng said.

"Okay, then let's discuss our differences seriously. What you object is that we sell arms to Annan, and what we oppose is that you sell some special goods to Xinhua, but our batch of military aid agreements have been signed and your contract has been signed, then we will be even and no one cares about such trivial matters. And if we supply arms to Annan in the future, we will definitely ask your opinions in advance. Here, we hope that when you sell supplies on the Batumi control list to Xinhua, you can say something to us, even if it's just for the friendship between us."

Johnson said.

They also knew that if they really wanted to fight, the result would definitely be both sides of the lose-lose. In the end, the Soviets were happy. For this reason, it was not worth it. Although the Tamron engine was good, it was just an engine that was considered outdated in the United States. Now their j57s are available. The j79 is about to enter mass production. The maximum afterburner thrust of these two engines has reached seven tons, and the maximum thrust of the large j75 engine equipped with the latest f105 has even exceeded ten tons.

An engine with a maximum thrust of only four tons is not worth losing its mind at all.

"No problem, we are friends, and this little thing is of course not worth mentioning."

Yang Feng said.

Even if this issue is exposed, there is no need to discuss other things. Everyone knows it. The United States cannot give up its support for Annan, and Yang Feng cannot give up its hostility in this regard. However, neither side will break up the secret battle. Everyone is a civilized person and understands the rules.

But his father-in-law and Fatty Qiu were still a little worried about Yang Feng's recent performance. By the way, it's no big deal for Yang Feng and Comrade Li to engage in trade, but selling the Tenglong engine to Xinhua would be a bit too much.

"Five years, up to five years, Xinhua and the Soviet Union will inevitably break!"

Yang Feng stretched out his hand and said to Earl Clement like a charlatan.

He was standing on the dock of Yingtian Military Port at this time, with more than 100,000 people gathering around him, staring at the narrow and long entrance of the bay.

"How is this possible?"

Count Clement said in surprise.

This is indeed unbelievable. Recently, Xinhua and the Soviet Union have even surpassed the Stalin era. He Tuzi acted like Comrade Li, who was the big brother. Not only did both sides completely solve the Lushun problem, but some of the military technology that Stalin refused to let go were given to Xinhua in the hands of He Tuzi, especially the t54a tank and Jacques 25 fighter technology that had just been transferred, which made Xinhua reach the threshold of the top technology in one fell swoop.

Now they are as good as brothers, but Yang Feng said that they will break up in at most five years, which is indeed difficult to believe.

"Earl, you should collect more articles about their thoughts in newspapers of these two countries. You will see a lot of interesting things. Don't always stare at their technical information. We have a very old idiom, saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Earl Clement frowned. He knew that Yang Feng must have obtained some top-secret information. This inference is definitely not a silence. If Xinhua really broke up with the Soviet Union, then Yang Feng would give Comrade Li Tenglong engine a reasonable one. To be honest, it would be like this even if Britain was replaced.

This matter was very important. After he decided to go back, he immediately encouraged Fatty Qiu to strengthen the collection of information in this area.

At this moment, the crowd around suddenly screamed like a boiling sound, and at the same time, the salute that had been on standby began to sound towards the sky.

"Here you come!"

Yang Feng said.

Earl Clement's eyes immediately turned to a distance, and a giant gray ship was slowly sailing towards him. The huge body dozens of meters wide was a flat flight deck on the top. The island on the right stood tall. Although he had seen similar scenes more than once, Earl Clement could not help but feel a little shocked at this time.

Because this is an aircraft carrier, the first aircraft carrier built by the Ming Empire itself.

Yingtian.

This giant ship, which is more than 240 meters long and has a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons, is actually the design drawing of the Eagle Level 2 aircraft carrier. Of course, it is a re-modification and the design, equipped with an oblique deck and a steam catapult, but the main structure has not changed much. The power system is quite different. Yingtian uses the latest high-pressure steam propulsion system, and the steam temperature and pressure are significantly higher than those used by Eagle Level 2. The result is that the power system is stronger, with the combined four axes reaching 170,000 horsepower, and the fastest speed is 31 knots, slightly higher than Eagle Level 2.

In fact, what Earl Clement didn't know was that this system was imitated by the Kitty Hawk, which had not yet been born, and had been used on Qijiguang-class destroyers. The aircraft carrier purchased by Yang Feng in Britain also used this power system. In addition, the Clermonts were built by the Gauls. The latter was built with the same set of drawings, but it started construction less than a year later than the Yingtian and is estimated to be in service in June next year.

At this time, the Yingtian aircraft carrier, which was driving into Yingtian Military Port amid the cheers of more than 100,000 people, was equipped with a complete set of carrier-based aircraft, with a total of a Tiger Shark Fighter Brigade and an over-staffed pirate attack aircraft squadron, which totaled fifty-eight carrier-based aircraft, and in addition to six anti-submarine search and rescue helicopters.

But to the surprise of Count Clement, there were three large aircraft with strange shapes parked on the deck of this aircraft carrier.

This is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft. It is actually very simple to say that they are unique, because on their backs, each has a huge disc that is compared to their size.

"Early warning aircraft, large-scale airborne radar, can provide early warning to the fleet and can fight with carrier-based aircraft."

Yang Feng said proudly in the puzzled gaze of his father-in-law.

Well, this is the Hawkeye that he has been developing. As for his original identity, of course, it is the American e2. This is actually a Hawkeye B-type. At the end of the 1960s, the maximum radar search radius was less than 300 kilometers. Although it was not far, it was enough at this time. Moreover, the supporting data link system was also completed, and the computer system inside had also transitioned to the integrated circuit level. In fact, this aircraft is the highest technological level among the Ming army, and of course the highest confidentiality level. (To be continued.)
