Looking at Nikolai Malenkov's vigilant and alarmed look, Chen Geng waved his hand with a smile: "Mr. Malenkov, don't be so nervous, I don't mean to spy on your Soviet military secrets." ”

After a pause, under the vigilant gaze of Nikolai Malenkov, Chen Geng continued: "Aren't you in the Soviet Union preparing to develop a new generation of jet advanced trainer aircraft to replace the current L-39? ”

Nikolai Malenkov was not surprised that Chen Geng knew about this, but he still looked at Chen Geng vigilantly: "That's right......"

The implication: how can there be?

"As far as I know, the units interested in this jet advanced trainer are the Yakovlev Design Bureau, the Mikoyan Design Bureau, the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and the Myasishev Design Bureau," Chen Geng continued: "My request is very simple, we at COMAC will cooperate with the design bureau that made the final list but was eliminated by you. ”

"What did you say?"

Nikolai Malenkov felt that his mind could not turn: what is the situation?!

He was full of thought that Chen Geng was going to spy on the secrets of the Soviet Union's latest high-level training aircraft, but what did he say? The plan that was to be eliminated?

"Let's take an analogy," Chen Geng thought for a while, and said to Nikolai Malenkov: "Now there are four units participating in the bidding for this jet advanced training aircraft, what is the elimination ratio in the first round?"

Although he still couldn't figure out what Chen Geng meant, Nikolai Malenkov hesitated for a moment and said, "50%. ”

"50%, that is, eliminate two, very good," Chen Geng nodded: "In other words, it is two units that have entered the primary list, right." ”

"That's right. ”

Nikolai Malenkov hesitated, but nodded again.

Chen Gengdao"""My request is simple, assuming that the two units that entered the primary selection are the Sukhoi Design Bureau and the Yakovlev Design Bureau, and in the end you finally chose the Sukhoi Design Bureau's plan, then my COMAC Group will cooperate with the Yakovlev Design Bureau......"

"Wait a minute," Nikolai Malenkov felt a little confused: "The current USSR and China have not yet restored normal diplomatic relations, and there is no ...... of cooperation on military projects to this extent"

"We can sign a pre-clause that says that we will not begin to fulfill the terms of the contract until relations between the two countries return to normal. Chen Geng looked at Nikolai Malenkov like a fool: Are you a mallet?

Comrade Malenkov thought it was ridiculous: how can you still play like this ?!

But if you think about it carefully, who said that you can't play like this?

Taking the Great Khinganling fire in China as an opportunity to ease tensions, the Soviet Union and Huaxia have now begun tense negotiations before the formal resumption of diplomatic relations, and according to the optimistic estimate of the Soviet Central Committee, it is expected that by the middle of next year, the two countries will most likely formally resume diplomatic relations.

If the terms of the agreement are negotiated now, and the implementation of the agreement begins as soon as diplomatic relations between the two countries are restored...... There doesn't seem to be anything out of place either.

Realizing this, Nikolai Malenkov nodded: "You go on. ”

"Based on the elimination of the Yakovlev Design Bureau, COMAC and the Yakovlev Design Bureau jointly launched a jet-based advanced trainer aircraft and developed one or two derivative models at the same time, such as a light fighter/attack aircraft with certain combat capabilities," Chen Geng explained. ”

For the international market, export to earn foreign exchange?!

Nikolai Malenkov's eyes widened all at once.

As we said earlier, the economy of the Soviet Union is already very bad, and the shortage of foreign exchange is even worse than that of China, if it is really possible to develop a model specifically for the international market on the basis of a certain jet advanced trainer aircraft that has been eliminated......

Nikolai Malenkov felt his saliva begin to flood.

You know, you can't actually make much money exporting an airplane (in fact, it's not a lot), but the real money is always behind, such as:

You bought my plane, do you want to buy my spare parts for maintenance and replacement in the future?;

Do you want to buy me for the ground maintenance and support equipment for this aircraft?;

As a military aircraft, do you have to conduct live-fire training on a daily basis? If you do live-fire training, do you also have to buy the weapons and ammunition you need from me?

It can be said that as long as the plane can be sold, in the next ten or twenty pieces, there will be a steady stream of "cutting leeks" from this wronged leader.

Speaking of which, we have to criticize the classmate named Xiaohua by name, Xiaohua always thinks about localization after being bought by others, not only the localization of equipment, but also the localization of auxiliary support equipment, the most excessive thing is that after all these things are localized, Xiaohua not only uses them for his own use, but also sells them to some poor friends, so that poor friends can occasionally cut two catties of pork for the New Year, and by the way, he also robbed the market of Xiaomei, Xiaofa, Xiaoyi, Xiaode and other classmates who sold things to Xiaohua at the beginning.

So after suffering countless losses, Xiaohua is "notorious" in the world, and no one is willing to sell anything to him.

It's a pity, it's late!

After so many years of study and reference, Xiaohua has formed a whole set of his own guys: You don't sell it to me, I'll do it myself! I not only do it myself, but also make things better than yours, such as the little you can't see, I'm angry with you!

Far away......

Let's go back to Comrade Nikolai Malenkov.

Hearing Chen Geng say that he wanted to use the unsuccessful advanced jet trainer to develop the international market, Nikolai Malenkov began to review himself while drooling: Yes, such a good method, why didn't I think of it?

I can do the same, I keep the best things for myself, and the next best I pack up, put on makeup, and promote it to the international market, and then make a wave of dollars......

Hiss...... It smells so good!

Although Nikolai Malenkov hid his thoughts very well, how could he hide them from Chen Geng's eyes?

Chen laughed in his heart: If I don't consider the possibility of you getting rid of Lao Tzu and taking precautions, I will talk to you about this?

"Of course, you Soviet Union can do the same, but the problem is," looking at Nikolai Malenkov with a smile, Chen Geng said: "Not only do you have to continue to invest money in the unsuccessful project, but also persuade those countries that you Soviet Union can influence not to buy the training aircraft that was finally selected, but to choose the training aircraft that you gave up, so ......"

Nikolai Malenkov was shocked.

He immediately reacted to Chen Geng's meaning: Let's not talk about the question of whether your Soviet Union's current poor financial situation can afford to develop two advanced jet trainers at the same time, but on the second point, are those countries that can be influenced by you to purchase advanced jet trainers are fools, not choosing the one you choose yourself, but choosing the one you have eliminated?

Nikolai Malenkov asked himself, thinking that if the Soviet Union really did this, the final result might not be optimistic, after all, other countries are not stupid.

But at the same time, Nikolai Malenkov also suddenly realized another problem: "Mr. Fernández, do you mean that the follow-up research and development funds for the training aircraft that entered the final selection but were finally eliminated will be provided by your COMAC?"

"If the property rights and patents of this aircraft are shared by COMAC and the R&D unit of the aircraft," Chen Geng nodded: "Of course, we will contribute ...... R&D funds."

Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Nikolai Malenkov already had a smile on his face: "If that's the case, we can consider it." ”

Chen Geng said that you are happy too early.

"Wait, I'm not done yet," Chen Geng interrupted Nikolai Malenkov and said, "Since this aircraft is owned by both parties, then in the future, COMAC will not only provide the funds required for the project, develop international accounts, but also send R&D and engineering technicians to live in this project......"

Nikolai Malenkov's face suddenly changed: what Fernández Chen was plotting, he already vaguely understood in his heart. He immediately said: "No, whether it is the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the Mikoyan Design Bureau, the Yakovlev Design Bureau or the Myasishev Design Bureau, they all have a lot of experience in aircraft design and development, and they can do their job well......"

"Mr. Malenkov, what you said is not right," Chen Geng said with a smile: "After all, this is a project that we have invested in, and we have our own people in this project, which will not only help reduce the pressure on our partners, shorten the development time, but also help us better control this product, don't you say?"

Chen Geng's meaning is very clear: since Lao Tzu has invested money, he must let Lao Tzu's people in, this is a prerequisite, if you don't agree, we don't need to talk about this matter.

Thinking of the AI-25 engine that Chen Geng insisted on introducing, Nikolai Malenkov instantly understood that this bastard from the United States was not only eyeing the next generation of advanced jet trainers from the Soviet Union, but even the power system was ready.

Why was Chen Geng so persistent in participating in the design of the Soviet Union's new generation of jet advanced trainers?

It's also pitiful to say, don't look at the COMAC Group already has a number of rotorcraft aircraft, fixed-wing aircraft and jet aero engines such as Y-11, Y-12, Z-9, Fokker F100, "tay" MK650-8C, RB211, etc., but the ability of COMAC Group in aircraft design is weak, or to put it simply, COMAC Group does not have its own original design capabilities at all.

Maybe you have to say, aren't there still Y-11 and Y-12, two aircraft designed by the original Hafei factory?

What Chen Geng wants to say is that if you look at the appearance and data of the Y-11, and then look at the shape and data of the Soviet An-28 light transport aircraft, you will find that the Y-11 and its subsequent improved Y-12 have a lot of reference to the Soviet Union's An-28 in design, so to be honest, COMAC ...... In other words, the entire aviation industry in China in this era basically has no original design capabilities.

Chen Geng knows that the two aircraft that were finally shortlisted for the Soviet Union's next-generation advanced jet trainer aircraft are the Yak-130 and the MiG-AT, although the Yak-130 of the Yakovlev Design Bureau was finally shortlisted for the Soviet/Russian next-generation advanced jet trainer project, but in fact, the Mikoyan Design Bureau did not give up the MiG-AT for a while, and after the project was defeated, the Mikoyan Design Bureau has been actively developing and developing the MiG-AT with its own funds, hoping to use it to open up the international advanced jet trainer and light combat / Market for attack aircraft.

But helplessly, don't look at the current Mikoyan Design Bureau relying on the MiG series of fighters to flourish, but a few years later, after the Soviet Union was gone, compared with its old rival Sukhoi Design Bureau, the Mikoyan Design Bureau's life is getting more and more difficult day by day, and the Mikoyan Design Bureau has in its pocket the MiG-AT, which is not inferior to the Yak-130 and some technical and tactical indicators are better, but it has been unable to complete the finalization of the product, so that Xiaohua's L-15 "Falcon" has gone ahead of it from scratch......

Although the current COMAC Group seems to be developing vigorously, Chen Geng, a designer, understands very well that without his own design ability and system integration ability based on design, he will not have his own core competitiveness, he is still a little ambitious, he hopes to learn how to develop a new aircraft from beginning to end by learning from the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

As for Chen Geng's company, which is obviously a "commercial aviation group", why does it dare to set foot in the field of military aircraft now, this, on the one hand, is Chen Geng's own understanding: Since the "tay" MK650-8C engine can be sold to Xifei and provided to H6 bombers, then whether the "tay" MK650-8C engine is civilian or military? Huaxia officials do not seem to have made it clear......

This second aspect is that after the Daxinganling fire some time ago, Chen Geng's huge energy in the United States and the Soviet Union made the country have to re-evaluate some things, so it gave COMAC the right to "try to develop the international military and civilian general aviation market".

Now that the openings have been opened, Chen Geng doesn't mind opening them a little wider......

After some thought, Nikolai Malenkov still didn't dare to make any decision after all, he could only say to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, I can't answer your request now, I can only report your request to the Supreme Soviet." ”

"Of course, I can totally understand. ”

Chen Geng nodded with a smile: Now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the Mikoyan Design Bureau, the Myasishev Design Bureau, and the Yakovlev Design Bureau are racking their brains to make their own prototypes, and it will take some time for the Yak-130 and MiG-AT to enter the final list and the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union, so I am not in a hurry.
