After all, US Secretary of Defense Cheney has been busy recently. Not only does he have a lot of daily affairs in the Department of Defense, he understands the development and development of new equipment, but he also often attends some important domestic seminars, and these seminars basically have a point of view.

That is how China and the United States should coexist after the fall of their common enemy, the Soviet Union.

Some think tank scholars immediately proposed the concept of "New Cold War". After all, China is still a red country. A country ruled by an "undemocratic" CP is inconsistent with the universal values ​​of the United States and seems to be as passionate as the Soviet Union.

The export revolution is just a relatively hidden way.

However, some experts and scholars believe that China is in a very good relationship with the United States. The Gulf War brought the two countries closer to their cooperative relations, and also confirmed that China is willing to act in accordance with the rules of the United States. It has just brought down a big country,

It is no longer a foolish way to push a big country that is still a friend of his to opposing positions.

Obviously, no brain-willed politician will position China as the enemy of America at once, which is unscientific and unhealthy. Although China has many competitive relationships with the United States, especially in the past two years.

The company has taken over the limelight of Japanese companies and began to challenge the economic interests of the United States in many industries. However, there is no direct and dead conflict between China and the United States. The US-Soviet battle for hegemony is because both big guys want to be the boss. The current situation

Yes, China is sitting honestly off the stage and watching how Americans dance. Can the United States still jump off the stage and beat the audience up for no reason

Although China has a competitive relationship with the United States, it has not declared itself in public that it has any ambitions for world hegemony, and it has repeatedly catered to the United States' position. This makes some people think that China is not worth worrying about, but it is just relative to European countries.

It's a little bigger allies.

However, more pragmatic strategists do not think so. At least China has the potential to compete with the United States. Therefore, whether there is a new Cold War pattern of confrontation between China and the United States depends on whether China has the will. And the will is actually some people

It is decided by patting your head. So letting China continue to become stronger is definitely not an insurance matter.

The situation at this time is similar to that in another plane twenty years later, and it even eases slightly, but the undercurrents under the surface of the table are not sluggish.

With Bush's impending abdication, Cheney, the loyal general, is also laid off, but he will also stand in the last shift. He is now meeting personnel from the Air Force Research Laboratory to follow up with the Air Force and

Progress in the development of naval aircraft.

"Lockheed has obtained the contract, and we have also confirmed that the B2 is the new generation of fighter jets of the Air Force."

Cheney interrupted him and asked, "What I want to know is whether the B2 can compete with the J-ll Black Hawk fighter that China has developed and may be officially put into service within the next three to five years?"

Officials said: "It is obvious that in the process of developing the next generation of fighter jets, many of our concepts are very similar to those of the Chinese. We all agree with the concepts of stealth, supersonic cruise, supermaneuver, etc., and the Chinese also believe that the new ones are

Fighters need to have stronger over-visual air combat capabilities and situational awareness capabilities. We speculate that China's J-ll fighter will pay more attention to maneuverability and air-optimal capabilities, and their pursuit of stealth and supersonic cruise may be weaker.

The reason I say this is because the design of Chinese fighter jets adopts a duck-style layout and forward swept wings, which will inevitably create convenience for radar wave reflection. However, such aerodynamic layout is extraordinary for the fighter jets to maneuver at subsonic and transsonic speeds.

The advantages. In addition, the ammunition cabin design of Chinese fighter jets is actually not very excellent and extremely cramped, making it unlikely to carry too many types of ground-to-ground weapons. From this point of view, the J-ll Black Hawk should be specially made by China

A heavy fighter jet used for air combat."

The official took a breath and explained: "Our B2 adopts a more advanced design, which can be basically confirmed that it is one level ahead of the J-ll in the stealth body, and the stronger power also gives our fighter excellent

I think even if we fight against J-ll, we will not be at a disadvantage. What's more, we have designed a small-diameter bomb for B2 to enable it to have the ability to conduct penetration and attacks."

Cheney asked with interest: "Have you done an assessment? If the stealth fighter planes are invisible to each other, it will be difficult for them to discover each other within the visual range. After discovering it, they will basically enter the visual range. So

Will the future air battles go back from beyond visual range to dog fights?”

The official could only say: "We are still arguing about this and there is no definite answer yet."

Cheney nodded and stopped entangling this issue. He asked again: "The NATPl+ order on the Navy is sure that it will not be suspended. Although the Soviet Union is gone, the existence of the Chinese Navy at sea, especially in the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans.

, some naval generals have been very displeased, so the Navy hopes to follow up on the plans of the new fighter jets and build fighter jets that can effectively and effectively suppress opponents, but they seem to think that B2 is not feasible right?"

"Yes, the Navy has conducted a careful assessment. The minimum flight speed of the B2NR spoon is too high, which is very unfavorable for landing operations. In addition, the aircraft has strengthened the structure for boarding the ship, added landing hooks and enhanced landing gear, etc.

, also modified variable swept wings, but their weight will increase by 3 compared to the land-based version, which will obviously not be accepted by the Navy. The Navy itself prefers to make major changes to the B14B for stealth modification and new internal design, and Grumman

Through some shameless means, we have obtained the design drawings and arguments of China Shenfei's invisible tomcats from China. If we can develop them ourselves on this basis, we will avoid many detours and increase the possibility of success."

Defense Minister Cheney, officials don’t have to hide their opinions, just make the statement clear.

Grumman gave Shen Fei a B14 production license, but in fact, the two parties continued to cooperate in the B14 project. By chance, several Grumman engineers were working in Shen Fei,

A large number of drawings and related materials from Shenfei Research Institute were discovered. All of these drawings and materials were proof of Shenfei's new generation of super stealth carrier-based aircraft, which was of great value. These engineers immediately took photos of these materials and then secretly took them.

Back to the United States.

In fact, if Shen Fei’s people don’t want them to see it, they will definitely not be able to see it. As for why Shen Fei exposed these things, he has to ask Qi Yiming.

In another plane, Cheney is called the "Terminator" by many Tomcat fans and is used to hate it to the core. It is precisely because of Cheney's disturbance that the Tomcat stopped production early and eventually retired from active service.

However, here, Chenie did not think that the Soviet Union had fallen out, so the United States was restless. He believed that China's threat to the United States might be greater than that of the Soviet Union, so he did not dare to easily terminate any weapon research plan.

During the Gulf War, Americans recognized a problem. In the development and research of some military equipment, the Chinese were ahead of Americans. If Cheney was arrogant and believed that the United States was in the lead and no one else could catch up, then how could he do it.

It's okay. But Cheney himself knew that if he gave up like this, it might create a bigger gap and make the United States lose all its advantages.

"Is it APX? Well, the Navy itself is funded. Since they think it is appropriate, then continue. If all the conditions are ripe, the progress may not be slower than B2."

APX is the fifth-generation stealth carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy. The prototype is naturally the Tomcat, but from the appearance, except for the design of variable swept wings, the rest is basically nothing to do with the B14 Tomcat.

.AP-XX has a relatively "heavy" body, because the US Navy hopes it has both air combat and strike capabilities, and needs to make it more bomb load. Compared with B2, APX's nose is slightly shorter

, but it does not affect its radar, as it will use a smaller but more efficient phased array radar.

The wing body fusion and closed swept wings can ensure stealth in cruising state. The tail wing is somewhat similar to B2, both are relatively large and have an angled vertical tail. The engine uses General Electric's PI2 engine, which also uses two.

The element vector nozzle, the nozzle is also modified by the tail of the machine.

The AP Qiqi B2 is bigger, the most eye-catching thing is its deeper and wide bullet cabin. The Navy even hopes to develop an air-launched anti-ship missile that can be accommodated.

Because the design drawings and many parameters were stolen directly from Shen Fei, Grumman carried out some designs that he understood. Prototype production is actually a matter of Navy funding and making money. As for the various internal electronic equipment and systems

, can be used parallel to B2, so that some costs can be controlled.

The US Navy now prefers to use APX as YB to test the prototype and then see if there is any problem. Thanks to the Chinese, in order to make this fifth-generation aircraft fly, the Chinese have thought of many ways, such as using a large number of them.

The composite material has reduced weight, the fuselage is made up for using lift body, and new flight control. The Americans feel like they have gained a treasure after getting it. According to the Chinese people's ideas, the aircraft will definitely be built.

Grumman's engineers also felt that although the Chinese designed this aircraft first, their accumulation was far less abundant than that of American counterparts, and China did not have a decent aircraft carrier that could help them verify the new fighter. Just cultivating the B14 carrier-based pilots is needed.
