Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Chen Yijian wanted him to look at an airplane, so Tan Zhenhua didn't know what part of his body was, it must be the flying leopard.

The fate of this "leopard" is also rough, and its story has to be told from 1974.

In 1974, China Huaxia and Nananan Monkey fought the Great Sea Battle in the Paracels. This battle naturally ended with China's victory and the recovery of all Paracel Islands in one fell swoop. However, an important problem was also reflected in the course of the battle. In China, the navy has almost no support from the air.

In fact, this matter can neither blame the Air Force nor the aviation personnel of the Navy.

At that time, China, whether it was the air force or the naval aviation force, the main air superiority fighter was the "J-6", and the ones that could provide ground-to-sea support were the "Strong 5" and "Hang 6 Ding" commonly known as the "Five Masters".

Unfortunately, the combat radius of the "J-6" barely reaches 600 kilometers, and the short-legged "5 Lord" is only 400 kilometers...

The central area of ​​the Paracel Islands is more than 330 kilometers away from China’s nearest Sanya Airport, and the far end is more than 500 kilometers. With the J-6's voyage, you can barely make a circle around the central area of ​​the Paracel Islands before returning. Of course, this distance "Boom 6 Ding" must be no problem, but without the protection of "J-6", sending bombers alone, is it going to die?

Therefore, despite the fact that in this battle, China took one ship on the beach, two ships were slightly injured, and 18 soldiers were sacrificed. It was able to sink a large ship of Annan Monkey, wound three ships, and killed more than 100 people and captured 49 people. People and regained the victory of all the occupied islands and reefs of the Paracel Islands, but let the navy take the table.

The navy immediately proposed to the Third Aircraft Department to develop an aircraft that can attack ground/sea and have certain self-defense capabilities. Of course, the most important thing is that it must have long, cute legs. Less than 1,000 kilometers of combat radius, that is to mention or not to mention.

After more than a year of hard work, the three units that participated in the internal bidding, Shengjing 3601, Nancang 3650 and Xijing 3603 finally produced results. Xijing 3603's plan won the final victory and won the national project.

Then, the Air Force came and inserted a bar to indicate that the aircraft looked good, and I wanted it too.

If you want it, but the Air Force was too much poisoned by Lao Maozi at the time, and always felt that the development of the aircraft should follow his own route. So, a "war bomb" should be like the "Su-24", the pilot Two-seater side by side with the weapon operator, so that the vision is good, and it is also convenient for conversation and communication inside the aircraft.

But the Navy doesn’t look at it this way. If it’s tied for two seats, then it will undoubtedly need to make major changes to the existing plan again. Moreover, the technical difficulty has risen by another level, and the time schedule will definitely be delayed. The Navy wants to hurry up on the last one. The guys who hit missiles and throw bombs can support their ships' operations on the sea. You must know that although Xisha has brought it back, Nansha has long been messed up!

Just like that, the air force and the navy tore again, sandwiching a 3603 in the middle, not people inside and outside.

In terms of the international situation at the time, the air force responsible for homeland air defense was much more important than the navy because it had to face the direct pressure from Soviet Russia. Of course, the votes in hand were relatively sufficient, so although the plan was the navy I mentioned it first, but the navy itself doesn’t even have the money to build ships. The long coastline needs to be patrolled and guarded by the so-called "Yellowwater Battleship" with a displacement of less than 400 tons. It can squeeze out a few more men. Support the development of an aircraft?

Besides, does the 3603 dare to offend a major customer of the Air Force?

As a result, the two parties tossed and tossed for a long time, until the final decision was made in July 1979 to use the Navy's tandem two-seater plan.

Then the Air Force took the pick and said that I don't want this aircraft, and the Navy, you can play by yourself.

Without the support of the Air Force's development costs, the Navy was immediately dumbfounded. They really have no money.

Therefore, even though the "JH-7" is regarded as a key project in the Navy's equipment development catalog, it is a pity that it is useless, and there is no money, so don't talk about it.

From 1980 to the first half of this year, all the progress of "JH 7" can be summarized as: "built a wooden model."

Fortunately, the Grand Elder finally approved a little money for the Navy as a special fund in April this year and restarted the "JH-7" development project, but for the development of an aircraft, everyone knows that this little money is a drop in the bucket.

The Navy was really in a hurry. It was red-eyed looking for money everywhere and vowed to get this aircraft out. Of course, it’s hard to guess whether there is any sign of a relationship with the Air Force.

Of course, in order to keep this hard-earned project, and for all the young and old to be able to work a little bit and have a meal, the 3603 Institute was also broken for this leopard.

Among other things, as far as Tan Zhenhua knows, in his previous life, in 1985, when the "Flying Leopard" was once again in the dilemma of lack of development funds and was about to dismount, the Navy and 3603 actually did something jaw-dropping. The matter-they jointly published a full-page investment promotion advertisement in a certain Xiangjiang newspaper, and wanted to find someone to collaborate on the development of this aircraft!

Of course, this matter will definitely come to an end.

Because of the continuous delay of these things, the "JH-7", which was formally approved by the state in 1974, did not complete its first flight until 1988, and did not officially equip the troops until 1994. In the meantime, it was because of the "Speey" engine used. The inventory was exhausted and the localization process was ineffective, so I had to go through the waste warehouse of the "Luo Luo" company...

It is a history of suffering that makes people feel sad and see others cry!

And now, at 3603 Institute of Perseverance, "Flying Leopard" chief designer Chen Yijian offered an invitation to Tan Zhenhua, asking him to take a look at an airplane, you said, it's not this sad "leopard", who else can there be?

Tan Zhenhua took a deep look at Chen Yijian and replied: "Deputy Director Chen, I can see your plane alone. Let them eat first. I know what you want. This matter. None of them can help."

Chen Yijian was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately stared at Tan Zhenhua deeply and said: "Okay, you follow me."

Having said that, the two of them accused everyone in the room, and they were about to leave the meeting room and walk to the door. Tan Zhenhua remembered something, and then stopped Chen Yijian and said: "Chen Suo, wait a minute, I have to Call someone."

Then he smiled at Zhan Nuozhu and said, "Brother Zhan, you'd better come together with this matter."

Chen Yijian asked doubtfully: "Who is this, please?"

Tan Zhenhua explained: "This is Zhan Nuozhu, the deputy director of our 4014 Intelligence Division. However, he has another identity. When he arrives at your site, I will give you a detailed introduction. Anyway, you believe that Chen Suo I, let him follow it must be a great advantage."

Chen Yijian nodded, and the three of them went out of the room together, then got in the vehicle they were in and drove away.

When the three people walked away, Wang Qingping looked back, and smiled and greeted loudly: "Walk around, no matter how many of them are, let's eat, tonight, it's really just a mouthwash, I swear. !"

One side secretly blessed in his heart: "Old Chen, come on, and good luck!"
