Chapter 3225 Leaked Aircraft Design Drawings
The Four Nine Cities!
The Ninth People's Hospital.
Bai Jing has been feeling uneasy lately, as if there is a pair of eyes watching her.
But when they looked again, they couldn't find the person.
Sometimes they even went so far as to conduct counter-surveillance, but in the end they still came up empty-handed.
Therefore, this phenomenon can only be described as terrifying.
If you have a guilty conscience, you'll feel like there are ghosts around you.
But she was even more afraid of becoming poor and not being able to live a comfortable life.
Thinking about this, Bai Jing was filled with hope for the future.
All you need to do is go to Hong Kong, and you can have everything.
This was the promise the other party made to her.
Getting into Hong Kong may seem difficult, but after asking around, it's actually not that hard.
As long as the other party sends someone to pick me up.
Will the other party send someone?
Definitely, because she still has some materials in hand, and these are her trump cards.
"Head Nurse, bed number eight!"
The nurse's voice came from afar, and Bai Jing quickly composed herself and put on a kind smile.
Bed number eight belongs to a worker from the Ninth Department headquarters. He accidentally injured his leg when a tool fell while he was working, making it difficult for him to move around. He needs two people to help him get out of bed.
The corridor lights were dim, and Bai Jing walked quickly, keeping her voice down, afraid of waking the patients around her.
He then pushed open the door to the ward and went inside.
The next moment, she was pinned to the bed by two security guards in the ward, and the nurse who had spoken earlier stuffed a prepared cloth into Bai Jing's mouth with a mocking look on her face.
Woo woo
Bai Jing struggled, but the nurse said coldly, "You traitor, you really bring honor to our hospital."
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Jing was startled, then terrified, and struggled desperately.
"take away!"
The security officer snorted coldly, and two people walked in. They picked Bai Jing up and hung her in mid-air, then quickly left the hospital.
Outside the courtyard alley in the east of the city.
The armored vehicles of the rapid reaction squadron slowly came to a stop.
Then, groups of people began to get off the vehicles and quickly entered the courtyard under the guidance of local personnel.
"Captain Wang, that's Ding Zhaodong's home."
The neighborhood committee staff and the police arrived at a corner of the courtyard. "They have quite a few people in their family. Ding Zhaodong's wife passed away a long time ago, and in the past two years, he's been living with a widow and a girl. They used to have two sons, both of whom are married, and a grandson and a granddaughter."
As the street office staff were speaking, Captain Wang patted the helmet of the soldier behind him, who immediately nodded and then leaped into the courtyard.
A moment later, the courtyard gate opened.
"The operation must be swift, and personnel must not be injured."
"Prioritize ensuring your own safety, then proceed with the arrest."
"Yes!"
With everyone nodding in agreement, the operation immediately commenced.
Inside the room, Ding Zhaodong did not sleep soundly.
On the kang (a heated brick bed), the little grandson was curled up in the quilt.
The next second, the door was kicked open, and Ding Zhaodong was startled. A flashlight shone on him, and just as he was about to get up, he was pushed down.
"Ding Zhaodong, right?"
Ding Zhaodong was pinned to the bed, making muffled noises.
The son and daughter-in-law in the next room were also awakened, but they were quickly subdued by the rapid response personnel and then taken aside for custody.
"take away!"
After checking and finding no problems, Captain Wang left the street office and police station personnel to guard the scene, and then took Ding Zhaodong out of the yard.
After the people in the courtyard learned what had happened, they all quickly moved away from the Ding family, fearing they would be implicated.
When Ding Zhaodong was put back into the armored vehicle, he saw his cousin, Ding Zhaohua, who was also tied up.
The two looked at each other, their faces ashen.
The next day, when Yang Xiaotao arrived at the Ninth Division, he received news of the operation from the previous night.
He was then summoned to the command room by Liang Zuoxin and Yu Zecheng.
"Last night's operation was a great success, Lao Liang and Lao Yu. You two won a great victory."
Yang Xiaotao was very satisfied with the operation report and the results of the overnight interrogation.
However, Liang Zuoxin and the other man did not look well. Yang Xiaotao thought it was because they had stayed up late and did not take it seriously.
But as I looked at the report in my hand, the further I went, the more alarmed I became!
"Is this our new aircraft design?"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly looked at the two of them.
Liang Zuoxin's face flushed red, and Yu Zecheng felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Who would have thought that this time, pulling up a radish would bring out the mud along with it?
"Mr. Yang, when we arrested Simmons last night, we discovered that he was gathering intelligence on our aircraft."
"Among these are the newly designed Panda and Eagle models!"
Yang Xiaotao glanced at the other party, then quickly finished reading the document, which indeed contained intelligence on Panda and Eagle fighter jets.
There are just more panda-shaped ones and fewer eagle-shaped ones.
However, there is a lot of information about turbofan engines.
Clearly, the other side still has spies in Beijing, or rather, they have informants within the Nine Ministries!
"Has the intelligence been leaked?"
Yang Xiaotao tried to remain calm and asked earnestly.
Yu Zecheng nodded. "Simmons is just a 'carrier,' and the intelligence has likely already been leaked."
Liang Zuoxin sighed and said, "This is my responsibility."
Snapped!
Yang Xiaotao slammed the file on the table. "No matter how much we tried to prevent it, something still happened."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and looked at the two of them, "Now is not the time to take responsibility."
"Give me some time, how long do you need to pull this thorn out!"
As for the others...
He glanced at the materials on the table, saying that the airplane needed to be made as soon as possible.
Liang Zuoxin and the other man looked at each other after listening, and then nodded solemnly.
"Seven days!"
"President Peng, why don't we take a break first?"
The conference room was bustling with people coming and going.
Busy people don't even have time to drink water; their eyes are only on the documents!
The chief of staff's voice interrupted General Peng's thoughts.
Behind him, more than a dozen experts were busy organizing data.
Their task is to assess the manufacturing costs and risk predictions of the aircraft design blueprints they have on hand!
General Peng placed his hands on the table and did not move when he heard the staff officer's words. He just looked at the four pieces of paper on the table with his brows furrowed.
These four sheets of paper are four fighter jet design drawings.
These are the Hummingbird from the Third Ministry of Machine Building, the Flying Tiger from the Logistics Department, and the Panda and Eagle from the Ninth Ministry!
What troubled him was precisely these four design drawings.
Originally, after the Ninth Department developed the turbofan engine, General Peng's idea was to have the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Logistics Department, and the Ninth Department work together to produce the best aircraft design.
But who would have thought that the cooperation between the Third Ministry of Machine Building and the Logistics Department would first run into problems, with the two sides having a dispute over their design concepts.
The Third Ministry of Machine Building still prioritized speed, while the Logistics Department wanted to increase the firepower density of the aircraft. In his view, the Third Ministry of Machine Building was learning from the advantages of the White Horse fighter jet and the J-8C, in order to make up for its shortcomings in loiter time.
The design of the logistics department also aims to address the firepower shortcomings of the Baiju and J-8 fighter jets.
Both sides had their own version of events, and in the end, Yang Xiaotao stepped in and told each person to deal with their own situation.
Ultimately, the choice is up to those above.
So both types of aircraft were designed, and then the problem was thrown to him.
However, the budget is limited. From design to manufacturing, to finalization, test flights, and deployment of a new aircraft, the process takes a long time. The key is that problems must be solved as soon as they are discovered.
This process may involve many failures, and each failure is a drain on your wallet!
What surprised him even more was that the Ninth Division, these troublemakers, brought out a carrier-based aircraft, something no one else was going to compete with them for.
They could have just taken out carrier-based aircraft, but then they pulled out a set of Hawk fighter jets.
With four sets of aircraft suddenly presented to him, he was at a loss as to which one to choose!
Taking a deep breath, General Peng glanced at the group of people not far away, then nodded, "Let the comrades rest!"
The chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief, then told everyone to go and rest. He then went up to General Peng and said, "Commander, why don't we just skip the selection and get on the horse?"
Mr. Peng looked up and glanced at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Others may not know how much money is behind this, but you do?"
"Out of these four, we'd be lucky to get two of them. We might only be able to get one after the evaluation!"
The chief of staff took off his hat and scratched his head. "Didn't we earn a lot of foreign exchange?"
"The domestic economy is developing quite well, so why can't we do it together?"
Mr. Peng glanced at it with annoyance, "You're making a lot of money, and the economy is developing, but look at how many places you're spending it?"
"Which of these areas—education, healthcare, or industrial development—doesn't require investment?"
"And then there's the West-East Gas Pipeline..."
At this point, Mr. Peng didn't want to continue.
The West-to-East Gas Pipeline project benefits the present and future generations!
But that really meant spending money like water!
The money earned from the development of the domestic economy has been basically invested in it.
As for foreign exchange, it has even greater uses and should not be touched lightly!
The chief of staff knew where the problem lay after hearing only half of what General Peng had said.
He dared not say this aloud, but he couldn't remain silent either, so he changed the subject and said, "Sir, I have a suggestion!"
President Peng looked up and waved his hand, saying directly, "Just say whatever suggestions you have, don't beat around the bush!"
"it is good!"
The chief of staff found a place to sit down and said directly, "Sir, do you remember how the White Horse fighter jet was made?"
Mr. Peng was taken aback, and then he recalled the process of the production and design of the White Horse fighter jet.
Before General Peng could finish recalling, the Chief of Staff said, "I remember the situation very clearly back then."
"Back then, the Ninth Department hadn't been established yet; it was still called the Red Star Machinery Factory."
"The aircraft engine they developed at that time was the HXJ-1 engine."
"Back then, other departments were studying the design blueprints for the J-8 fighter jet, right?"
"This led to the fact that no one used the engines they made, so they designed the aircraft themselves, which is the White Horse fighter jet we use now."
"Later, the white horse was continuously upgraded, and the blue horse appeared!"
"This involves the production process, the final test flight, and the deployment—it's like riding a rocket!"
"Judging from this, I think the situation of the Eagle fighter jet of the Ninth Division is very similar to that of the White Horse fighter jet!"
Upon hearing the chief of staff's analysis, General Peng felt a sudden inspiration.
If the development of the J-8 was the normal process, then the Baiju was a special case!
Nobody said that special circumstances can only happen once!
"You mean, they said they designed this aircraft to make this engine perform better?"
The chief of staff nodded. "Based on my understanding of Comrade Yang Xiaotao, he is not the kind of person who is competitive and eager to win. Looking back at past cases, we can draw a very clear conclusion."
"That is, he likes to strike back after the opponent has made their move, or rather, to overtake them from behind!"
boom!
President Peng slammed his hand on the table and stood up, a smile on his face. "A leaf before the eyes blocks out Mount Tai!"
"That's right, well said!"
"Yang Xiaotao is a very methodical guy; he never does anything for nothing!"
"Unless something happens, nobody knows how much he has up his sleeve!"
As he spoke, President Peng walked around the conference room with his hands behind his back, unable to suppress the smile on his face any longer.
The chief of staff standing to the side dared not speak, for this was not about discussing others, but about the head of the Ninth Department.
If there were only nine parts, then I could say a few words.
But this guy also has the title of a high-tech industry research lab, which makes him quite something.
Boss Peng walked around the room twice, then laughed and said, "I'm sure this kid is up to no good."
"It's very likely that he specially made dumplings just to satisfy his jealousy!"
The chief of staff stood up and nodded, saying, "Therefore, I think that the Eagle fighter jets of the Ninth Division should be just like the White Horse. As long as the manufacturing is carried out strictly in accordance with the design drawings, the finished product should be fine."
"This conclusion is based on Bai Ju!"
Peng nodded in agreement. "So, you mean to choose the Eagle and the Panda?"
The chief of staff nodded vigorously. "If we can't do all of them, then these two are the best options!"
"Although the Panda carrier-based aircraft is modeled after the United States Tomcat, it is still the first carrier-based aircraft in China. I personally think that we don't need to have too high expectations. As long as it works, that's enough!"
"And the Eagle fighter jet!"
At this point, the chief of staff took out a report from the side and said, "This aircraft has a longer range than the Hummingbird. Although it is a bit slower, it can make up for it with the White Horse and the J-8."
"Although it carries two fewer missiles than the Flying Tiger, it is equipped with a 20mm cannon and can also carry rocket launchers, which is not bad for close-range air combat or ground attack!"
"Personally, I think these two models are worth trying to produce!"
"That's all..."
The chief of staff hesitated, but General Peng spoke directly, "But this will leave the other two resentful! Right?"
The chief of staff nodded.
Mr. Peng listened without saying anything, but paced back and forth in the conference room!
After a while, General Peng looked at the Chief of Staff and said, "I remember, the Ninth Department's aircraft manufacturing plant is quite large!"
The chief of staff, though puzzled, went along with it and said, "Yes, they merged the Shengjing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant in order to speed up production."
"Ok!"
Upon hearing this, President Peng smiled and said, "What do you think about letting Division Nine build the Eagle fighter jet themselves?"
"Make it yourself? What do you mean?"
The chief of staff was completely baffled, not understanding what General Peng meant.
If this is decided, then naturally the nine departments will be responsible for it!
what does this mean?
Then I saw the mocking look on Boss Peng's face and instantly understood his plan.
This is to not choose the Hawk fighter jet, and then provoke the Ninth Division, or rather, provoke Yang Xiaotao.
Let Yang Xiaotao, like Bai Ju, step forward and create problems on his own initiative!
This way, three aircraft can be manufactured simultaneously.
No matter how you calculate it, our side has come out ahead.
Thinking of this, the chief of staff's eyes lit up, but then he calmed down again. "Sir, isn't this inappropriate?"
"If people see this, wouldn't we be getting something for nothing?"
Boss Peng didn't care. "What do you mean by inappropriate or trying to get something for nothing? We're doing this for the sake of the revolution!"
"Does that mean if they want to do it, we can refuse?"
"I've made up my mind. Let the three of them come to a meeting to discuss it, and then we'll..."
As General Peng finished explaining, the chief of staff gave a wry smile.
This scheme is so cunning; if it gets exposed, I'll lose face!
