"What do you mean......" Farouk Legari finally reacted, and he said with a shocked and stumbling face: "The Soviet Union wants to sell us the MiG-29?"

It's no wonder that Farouk Legari didn't react, but it is true that the relationship between the minibus and the Soviet Union has not been good, otherwise India would not have been able to get the most advanced interceptors and fighters of the Soviet Union such as MiG-25 and MiG-29, because of the long-term disagreement with the Soviet Union, the minibus never thought that he could get the same weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union as India, so it is understandable why Farouk Legari was so surprised: he never thought of this possibility.

Chen Geng nodded with a smile and asked rhetorically, "If that's not the case, why did they invite you to experience the MiG-29?"

"But...... This ......"

The good news came so suddenly, and Farouk Legari stammered for a while.

"I understand that this news will make you feel very abrupt," Chen Geng said with a look of "I understand you", "But anyway, to experience the MiG-29, there is no loss to you, as for the future, I will talk about it later, right?"

That's the truth!

Farouk Legari reacted suddenly: whether to buy the MiG-29 or not, such a big thing is not something that he can say, but just like Mr. Fernández said, just experience the MiG-29, not only will you not lose anything, but you can also deepen your understanding of the MiG-29, in this case, why not go and experience it?

"I understand," Farouk Legari took a deep breath and said solemnly to Chen Geng, "Mr. Fernandez, thank you for the reminder. ”

Chen Geng: "You're welcome. ”

As for whether the minibus will allow Farouk Legari to accept an invitation from the Soviet Union to experience the MiG-29, it is no longer on the radar of Chen Geng: as long as the top brass of the minibus are in their right minds, it is impossible for them not to approve it...... Even if they don't buy it, just to get a deeper understanding of the opponent's equipment, they will definitely approve it.

Two days later, Farouk Legari told Chen Geng by phone that China had approved him to accept the invitation issued by the Soviet military to "experience the flight performance of the MiG-29" as an active officer of the minibus air force.

"Invite me to experience the MiG-29? No, no, no, that can't be," Chen Geng said with a smile: "I am not an active pilot of the air force of any country, and second, I am an American, do you think the Soviet government can rest assured that I can experience the MiG-29?"

"That's ......"

Farouk Legari sighed: "That's a shame. ”

"There's nothing to regret," Chen Geng said: "I've experienced the F-14, F-15, F-16 and F-18, and I don't think the MiG-29 is much better than these four fighters." ”

"Have you experienced F-14, F-15, F-16 and F-18?"

On the other end of the phone, Farouk Legari's shocked eyes were about to fall, and his first reaction was: Are you bragging? These four fighters are the most powerful fighters in the US Air Force and the US Navy.

Farouk Legari thought that Chen Geng was bragging, but when he thought of Chen Geng's relationship with the top level of the United States, especially with the Pentagon, he felt that it was not impossible: AM General is not only the supplier of the most advanced light military vehicle HMMWV in the U.S. military, but also has a number of foundations under Chen Geng that aim to help veterans and active duty soldiers, he has an excellent relationship with the United States @ military, and Chen Geng is still so young, he wants to experience the most advanced fighter jet in the U.S. military, can the military top brass not give Fernandez this face?

Well......

From that point of view, it's very likely.

Realizing that this possibility did exist, Farouk Legari suddenly felt a little inferior: Mr. Fernandez had already flown the F-14, F-15, F-15 and F-18, the four most representative main fighters in service in the U.S. military, but he had only flown the F-16, which was still the export version of the U.S. ......

Is Chen Geng bragging?

Of course, he did brag, and he had never experienced any of the four fighters, the F-14, F-15, F-16, and F-18, but he boasted that he had flown them, so who could come up with evidence to prove that he had not flown them? After all, Chen Geng's relationship with the military was so good.

"Why are you so surprised?" Chen Geng looked like "you have never seen the world", and said to Farouk Legari coaxingly: "Isn't it just a few main fighters in active service in the US military, as long as I think, do you think that with my identity, my status, and my connections, this will be a problem?"

“......”

Farouk Legari was so inferior that he could barely speak, and he was completely convinced: Mr. Fernández is worthy of being a big man in the United States, the Soviet Union and China, what a cow!

........................

When Chen Geng and Farouk Legari were chatting happily, some people were not very happy.

Who isn't happy?

Many, like the Indian ambassador to the USSR, Ashok Kante.

Ashok Kant was very happy, and this visit to Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev was just a routine visit, after all, Mikhail Stepanovich Irichev, as the former Soviet ambassador to India, was a recognized pro-India faction within the Soviet government, and it was very important for India to maintain relations with Mikhail Stepanovich Irichev.

But the news that "minibuses are seeking to cooperate with the Soviet Union in the design of advanced trainer aircraft" just revealed by Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev made Ashok Kant feel like he had been struck by lightning, and he hurriedly asked Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev: "Comrade Ilichev, you are not joking?"

Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev glanced at Ashok Kant with dissatisfaction: "Mr. Kante, do you think I can joke about such a thing?"

Ashok Kant immediately realized what a stupid mistake he had made: also, as a well-known pro-India faction within the Soviet government, how could Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev talk nonsense? He hurriedly apologized to Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev: "Dear Comrade Ilichev, I'm very sorry, I'm just too excited to doubt your intentions...... I don't understand how your government can allow minibuses to participate in your country's advanced trainer program? After all, the relationship between minibuses and your country is not so ...... So ......"

"I understand what you mean," Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev nodded with a gloomy face: "I am inquiring about the specific situation, but it seems that the military attaches great importance to this matter, and you had better be mentally prepared." ”

“......”

Ashok Kant nodded, but he was panicked: what happened, why would the Soviet Union allow the minibus to participate in the development of the advanced trainer aircraft that the Soviet Union was developing?

That's a big deal!

Not only does it mean that minibuses are very likely to get one of the world's most advanced advanced trainers, but there is something deeper behind it: Are the Soviets ready to adjust their relationship with minibuses? If so, what will be the impact on India?

However, to be able to serve as India's ambassador to the Soviet Union, Ashok Kante's self-adjustment ability is certainly not bad, after the initial shock, Ashok Kant quickly adjusted his mood, and said to Mikhail Stepanovich Irichev: "Mr. Irichev, you are a good friend of the Indian people, this matter will trouble you, and I myself will immediately report this matter to China...... Rest assured, India will never be a disadvantage to our friends. ”

How could Mikhail Stepanovich Irichev become an "old friend of the Indian people" if he had not channeled enough benefits to Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev?

Mikhail Stepanovich Irichev is also very worthy of India's efforts in him over the years, and in the face of Ashok Kante's words, he said happily: "Kante, you can rest assured about this, are we friends, if there are any new trends and changes, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible...... The Soviet government has always attached great importance to India as an ally, so you can rest assured. ”

After the signing of the Soviet-Indian Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, relations between the Soviet Union and India took another step forward, raising the previous relationship of "comprehensive strategic cooperation" to the level of a "paramilitary alliance". So to speak, Ashok Kant was so worried that something bad was happening, and he was just about to speak, when the phone rang in the office of Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev.

As soon as Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev picked up the phone, the anxious voice of the secretary came out of the phone: "Minister, I just heard from a friend who works in the Air Force that the Air Force has sent an invitation to the person in charge who came to negotiate cooperation with the advanced trainer aircraft on behalf of the minibus, inviting him to experience our MiG-29 fighter. ”

The things made by Maozi are so good and full of materials that although the phone does not have a hands-free function, the sound that can come out of the earpiece is still as if it is hands-free, and Ashok Kante, who is sitting next to Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev, can hear it clearly.

Hearing that Mikhail Stepanovich Ilichev's secretary said that the Soviet Air Force had invited an active Air Force officer in a minibus to experience the MiG-29, the most advanced fighter in the Soviet Union, Ashok Kante's face changed instantly!
