As the host livened up the atmosphere, the audience immediately burst into warm applause and cheers. This represented everyone's respect for Old Man Barker.
Jiang Xiukang, who was on stage, took the microphone from the host. He looked around the audience and said calmly," First of all, thank you for taking the time to attend my 80th birthday banquet…"
"Looking back on the road we have traveled over the years, I, like everyone here, deeply understand how important the strength of a country is to every citizen. Back when I participated in the war, my father…"
Mr. Jiang Xiukang shared many memories of the past on the stage. These resonances caused many people's thoughts to be pulled back to that era.
After Old Man Jiang finished his speech, he bowed to all the officials and thanked them for their contributions to the country. Immediately after, a round of applause erupted from the audience.
When the old man walked to the main table in his military uniform. Qin Yuan and the group of big shots around him, be it the military or the government, all stood up to show their respect.
"Sit down, everyone. Eat and drink well later!”Old Man Jiang said to everyone with a smile. Then, his gaze naturally stopped on Qin Yuan.
The reason was that his precious granddaughter was leading Qin Yuan up to welcome him. What you said just now was really good ~"
Jiang Lizi could act coquettishly in front of her grandfather. Unlike her father, she couldn't say anything at times.
Old Man Jiang looked at his granddaughter dotingly, then turned his gaze back to Qin Yuan.
"Grandpa, let me introduce you. This is Qin Yuan, the chairman of the Qin Military Industry Group.”Jiang Lizi introduced him just in time.
Old Mr. Jiang looked at Qin Yuan with a deep gaze, then nodded and said,"Oh, the Qin family's military industry. I know. I heard that your shipyard has recently developed a next-powered aircraft carrier?"”
"Yes, Mr. Barker. It's currently under construction.”Qin Yuan replied.
"Then, for the carrier-based aircraft, do you plan to use the D-10 or the S-27?”Speaking of aircraft carriers, the old man's interest was piqued.
As the " Chief of Staff of the Third Front Army," he knew that the two most advanced fighter jets in the country were the Diqian-10 and the S-27.
Unfortunately, aircraft carriers belonged to the navy and not the air force.
If the air force fighter jets wanted to stop by the aircraft carrier for special reasons, they could report and apply. However, it was generally not recommended to do so. After all, pilots of carrier-based aircraft needed to undergo professional training.
If something went wrong and the plane crashed onto the deck, it would be awkward for the navy and air forces…
Old Master Jiang's question was not confidential and was an acceptable academic discussion. The high-ranking officers at the main table were also curious. Even Air Force General Jiang Hongguo was waiting for Qin Yuan's reply.
At this moment, Qin Yuan, who was standing in front of him, replied calmly in front of all the big shots present,"To be honest, Old Man Jiang, I don't plan to use the third-generation fighter aircraft for the aircraft carrier.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiukang and the military bigwigs around him were stunned!
"What is it? Not planning to use the third generation fighter jet? Then what are you planning to use?" This was the first question that appeared in everyone's minds.
"If we don't use the third-generation aircraft, then we won't use armed helicopters instead, right?”
"However, a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier with a deck full of helicopters…are they planning to use the aircraft carrier as an airship first? Then, when they developed more advanced fighter jets, they would replace them?”
