Chapter 1084 Third-Generation Aircraft Project
Just keep things to an end, especially topics that have nothing to do with the negotiation. But Sharon is very satisfied. After all, an individual can be worthy of an armored division, but not all soldiers can do it. This is the greatest compliment for professional soldiers, and it comes from the mouth of the hostile Soviet Defense Minister.
At present, Heiyun Group has put into production its CNC machine tool factory in Israel, and sales are very good. Mainly companies with Jewish backgrounds will give priority to purchasing, and there are no excessive price requirements. Of course, Heiyun Group will not make random quotes, everything will be based on the market. But paying taxes allows Israel to see the benefits and determination to develop its own industry.
Israel was able to establish a state and win five Middle East wars. The financial advantage is the key factor, at least there is no shortage of money. It would be a big mistake to think that this is the country’s fiscal revenue. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country had no savings at all and its fiscal revenue was almost zero.
There is no way to fight without spending money. It is not unreasonable to get thousands of taels of gold when the cannon goes off. In addition, the Israeli army was equipped with the most advanced weapons in the world at that time, which were absolutely expensive. With the daily consumption of ammunition, the funds required were astronomical. For a country with almost no source of income, it can only choose to ask for help from the outside world.
Fortunately, other abilities of the Jews may not be recognized by the world, but when it comes to doing business and making money, they are definitely the number one nation in the world. Coupled with the painful experiences and lessons learned during World War II, we certainly know that we cannot survive without a country. Now that the motherland needs it, we must have money and strength to contribute.
But it has been nearly 40 years since the founding of the country. Of course, it is impossible to live on donations from Jewish colleagues all the time. It’s not easy for everyone. Even if someone has money, if they always transfer their money to Israel, the host country will have objections. It is better for my father to have it and for my mother to have it for myself. The amount of tax paid by a Heiyun Group company is actually so terrifying. If there are more companies like this, even if Israel does not have oil, natural gas and other minerals, it can still increase national income through other aspects.
However, compared to increasing national taxes, there is still a thorny issue that needs to be solved. Localization of weapons and equipment is the path Israel must take.
After the "Six-Day War" in 1967, due to the arms embargo imposed by France on Israel, Israel realized the importance of achieving "self-reliance" in technology and weapons, and began to increase investment to promote the rapid development of the defense industry.
Israel is gradually improving its defense industry system, but the production of weapons and equipment requires technological accumulation and a process; it also requires massive capital investment. Cooperation with any country before did not feel very reliable. But the rise of the Black Cloud Group has given Israel hope.
Bao Zixuan may not be interested in other aspects, but I believe Heiyun Group will definitely be interested in the third-generation fighter jet. This is also the purpose of inviting Bao Zixuan. Heiyun Group is not yet a dominant player in the aviation field, but it is a world leader in the engine field. After all, the boss has a background in aviation power, so he will definitely lean towards him.
The three senior Israeli officials exchanged glances. Defense Minister Sharon said: "Mr. Bao, I don't know if Heiyun Group has any research and development on third-generation fighter jets. To be honest, Israel's current research and development is stuck in a bottleneck, mainly because the engine has not met the requirements, so I learned that you came to an Arab country. After inspection, I decided to invite you to come to Israel no matter what."
When Sharon said the third fighter, Bao Zixuan immediately understood what it meant. In later generations, Israel was basically able to produce all its own weapons and equipment; however, it was still somewhat stretched when it came to key components.
As an aircraft engine engineer, Bao Zixuan certainly knows the development process of Israeli military aircraft. The Israeli intelligence agency "Mossad" is very capable and actually stole the manufacturing blueprints of the French "Mirage" 5 and its "Ata" 8C engine. In 1969, a secret development plan named "Black Curtain" was launched. In September 1969, the prototype named "Eagle" made its first test flight. It was equipped with an "Ata" engine and looked very similar to the "Mirage" 5, but it used Israeli weapons and electronic equipment.
After the test flight, it was renamed "Lightning" and entered service in 1972. The aircraft uses Elta's electronic fire control system, Martin Baker JM.6 ejection seat, "Dragonfly" air-to-air missiles, and a 30mm "Defa" 553 cannon. The ground attack was improved compared to the "Phantom". It is estimated that 40 of them participated in the "October War" in 1973.
The French engine simply cannot meet the design requirements, which is also a common problem of French military aircraft. Compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, it is still lagging behind in terms of power. Later third-generation aircraft developed by Israel itself also used the American General Dynamics J79-J1E turbojet engine. After all, in the field of aviation power, there are only four companies in the world. In this life, because of the emergence of Bao Zixuan, Heiyun Group ranked first in the world's aviation engine echelon.
Bao Zixuan: "The three of you mean to ask Heiyun Group to provide military engines to Israel. If there is business, of course we have to do it. As long as your country's air force puts forward technical requirements and the purchase volume is large, Heiyun Group can definitely develop a new engine based on its performance." engine."
"You three should know that my major is aviation power. For aero engines, it's not just about making money, but more about interest and challenge."
If we just ask you to provide engines, we will not look for Americans or British people to buy them. It is true that Heiyun Group invests in Israel, but the relationship is definitely much worse than that of Americans. But you can't say this clearly. Not only is it hurtful, but it's probably almost impossible to ask this guy to come over and invest in the future.
Salon: "Israel has never doubted Heiyun Group's achievements in the field of aerospace engines and Mr. Bao's technical strength. Enterprises that can develop ground-effect aircraft and stealth bomber engines are absolutely child's play when it comes to third-generation aircraft engines." The party wants Heiyun Group to put this engine production line in Israel, and you know the surrounding national conditions and environment; if there is an emergency, we can respond."
"It's not very convenient to put the engine production line in Xiangjiang or other places."
In fact, everyone can figure out that France and Britain tricked Israel into attacking Egypt together, although they were later stopped. It stands to reason that the relationship should be very good, but even so, the order is still not shipped. When it comes to interests and international relations, no one can trust it. Core components like engines must be produced domestically.
If something goes wrong, it is estimated that the Israeli fighter jets will be on the ground. There is no air superiority and it relies solely on ground forces; even if the Israeli army is brave, it is estimated that it will not be able to defeat the Arab army on the opposite side. The Army is relatively traditional, and its numerical advantage is very important.
Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "It is okay to put the engine production line in Israel, but not in the name of Heiyun Group. In fact, it is not only a matter for the Arab countries opposite, but the British will not agree. After all, Xiangjiang is still under the jurisdiction of the British, and many Things can’t be made too obvious, I hope the three of you can understand.”
"To be honest, Heiyun Group is also developing a third-generation aircraft project; although it has learned from some other companies' third-generation aircraft research and development experience, the overall progress of the project is not fast."
"If possible, I hope the two sides can exchange relevant experiences."
It was said to be an exchange of experience, but in fact it was the Heiyun Group sending people over to learn.
You must know that Israeli military aircraft were developed very early. In the 1960s, Israel purchased the French Dassault Company's "Mirage" IIIC fighter jets. The "Mirage" IIICJ played an important role in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. The French-Israeli technical team has made more than 400 modifications to these fighter jets and trained a large number of Israeli technical personnel. After the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, France imposed an embargo on Israel in 1968 in order to maintain neutrality. The Israeli Air Force was unable to replenish its aircraft, and the 50 Mirage 5s it had originally ordered were cancelled. Israel decided to rely on its own efforts to manufacture parts for the "Phantom" aircraft and develop new fighter jets based on them.
In other words, Israel has been developing fighter jets for 20 years, and the Black Cloud Group has just started. Even if you invest a lot of money and don't have time to accumulate, the technology will not improve. After all, many experimental data are valuable assets and cannot be sold just by making money. This requires a development process, and obviously Heiyun Group is very lacking in this aspect.
The three of them exchanged glances, and Sharon spoke up: "It would be best if the technical talents of Heiyun Group can join. I just hope that the research institution will be built in Israel. I hope Mr. Bao can understand."
It doesn't matter where it is built. Bao Zixuan's purpose is to train technical personnel and prepare for the research and development of fourth-generation aircraft. The two parties then discussed some other projects, and the overall results were satisfactory, at least achieving their respective goals.
The matter has been discussed, and it is not good to stay in Israel for too long; the other party will definitely have opinions more or less, but they are too embarrassed to say it openly.
