"You Chinese comrades, you don't need Figure 16 anymore, do you?"

Sheng Fei had just finished a lecture on the design ideas of the Su-27, and Mikhail was talking with Sheng Fei's leaders and engineers with a smile on his face. Such a greeting suddenly popped up, and the smiles on everyone's faces suddenly stiffened.

Simonov didn't seem to see the strange expressions of his Chinese counterparts, and he showed an excited tone and continued.

"China has a deep accumulation in the use of Soviet-style weapons, and I believe that the Su-27 will achieve more praise than the Tu-16. As one of the most advanced third-generation fighters in the world, China's vast sky should have more Su-27 fighters. ”

"Don't be too reserved, Sukhoi is ready to help China protect your skies!"

Okay, spare it, it turns out that the father of the flanker is a sales pitch in disguise.

Sheng Fei's people breathed a sigh of relief and nodded and laughed repeatedly. Regardless of whether there is really such a plan or not, when facing Mikhail Simonov, it is not too pompous to make a sycophant.

All kinds of praise and top hats took turns, which suddenly made the father of the flanker flutter.

It is said that as Sukhoi's "bearer", Mikhail Simonov is not so vain. However, considering what he has seen and heard in Shengjing in the past few days, he will definitely be a little unbalanced.

Compared with the technical level that Shen Huoyi still did not understand, the city of Shengjing was much more prosperous than any city in the Far East of the Soviet Union.

In addition to giving lectures by Sukhoi experts in the past two days, the Chinese side also invited them to visit various places in Bohai Province. Shengjing is the first stop, and of course Xiucheng will not be left behind. In addition, the cities of Liaozhong Urban Agglomeration, Niuzhuang and Dagang have also been seen in a hurry.

In the 90s, the population of Shengjing was stable at more than 7 million, but what was the size of the cities in the Far East of the Soviet Union? Boli had a population of 800,000, Vladivostok 600,000, and Komsomolsk had only a pitiful 260,000 people—the capital cities of these three Far Eastern states were not as large as the population of Wafangdian County.

When the Soviet Union collapses and Russia loses control over the situation in the Far East, the population of these cities will be irreversibly reduced.

After several years of development, the Bohai Rim Economic Belt has begun to take the lead. There is no end to the 10,000-ton train carrying coal every day from Baiyinhua to Angang, and the coastal project in Bayuquan imports a large number of high-grade ores from overseas, which are the basis for the take-off of the Bohai Economic Belt.

Dagang is preparing to build Intel's 1.8-micron foundry, and Philips' Greater China headquarters in Shengjing Software Park is in Tingruo City. The combination of the electronics industry, new energy, and the traditional mechanical processing industry to form a new shipbuilding and numerical control industry, as well as the vigorous development of the software industry and the logistics industry, these are the scenes that cannot be seen in the Far East of the Soviet Union, or even the entire Soviet Union.

The Su-27 was certainly the pride of Soviet industrial technology, but the pursuit of the Chinese also made Mikhail Simonov feel deeply threatened. If it weren't for this, the old man wouldn't have used such a small means that couldn't be put on the table to regain some self-confidence.

Fortunately, Shen Huoyi eats people with a soft mouth, and a few words of compliment will not lose a little bit of meat. Immediately sent a few professionals to coax the old man's heart to bloom, and it didn't take long to brush his favorability towards Sheng Fei to MAX.

In the happy atmosphere of the guests and hosts, Mr. Mikhail returned to the Sheng Fei Hotel where he was arranged. However, as soon as he stepped into the lobby of the hotel, he felt a strong uneasiness in the air.

"Makarov, what's going on?"

Mikhail grabbed Makarov, the head of Shen Fei's visiting group, who was walking by in a hurry, frowned and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing here, why are you all gathered for no reason." ”

The look of the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, Makarov, who came from the port to "investigate", can no longer be described as panicked, as if the end of the world had come - no, even if the Germans hit the Don back then, Mikhail had never seen such an expression.

"We asked our comrades in China to get on the signal of the Soviet Central Television, the urgent news of the BPEMR. ”

Makarov gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, still unable to stop the trembling on his cheeks: "You'd better go over with me too." ”

The café, which had been temporarily pulled into a television screening room, was already full of Soviets who had visited China this time. They didn't make much noise and sat quietly in their seats.

Some of them put their elbows on their knees, holding their heads and bowing their heads in contemplation. Some people hold their right wrist with their left hand, nervously strangling their stomachs. Some people simply plunged their whole bodies into the sofa and put on a lying posture, but their waists collapsed straight.

"Please take a seat, Comrade Mikhail, and it will be right away. ”

Soon, images began to appear on TV. Female announcer in a blue sweater with a blue jewel necklace on TV. In a calm voice, she began to make a news broadcast.

......

"Levreets, what happened?"

The head of the map looked up from his desk, and he was drafting his upcoming speech at the signing ceremony of the New Union Treaty. Hearing someone knocking on the door, I had a vague foreboding.

"Mr. President, there is a group of people who want to see you. Lev Liets said.

"Who is it? Why did you let them in?" the maphead put down the pen in his hand and began to be vigilant.

Through the crack in the open door, a jumble of footsteps could already be heard.

He didn't invite anyone and was not notified of a visit. Without his permission, the guards would not disturb his work. But now!

"It was Comrade Plekhanov who came with them, Mr. President. ”

By this point, the head of the map was vaguely aware of what was happening, and Plekhanov was the head of the KGB Security Service. The president's guards were sent by the Security Bureau, and Plekhanov, who was Levreets' immediate boss, certainly could not stop him.

The Soviet president had a full system of contacts at his disposal, from the government to the military, satellite phones and strategic nuclear bomb keys, which ensured that he could keep track of the huge country at all times. However, when the head of the map picked up the phone on the table, there was no business coming from it.

Grabbed five microphones on the table in a row, all of them. That is, at this time even the strategic nuclear trigger at the head of the map has lost control.

The situation was serious, and the word "coup d'état" jumped out of the head of the map uncontrollably.

"Mr. President, the Alliance is facing an existential crisis. Ask you to sign a state of emergency order or delegate authority to the committee. ”

Outside the door, Kryuchkov pushed open the door and strode in.

......

"Comrade President has been unable to perform his duties for health reasons. ”

"According to the Constitution of the USSR, from August 19, Vice President Yanayev will act as president. The full power of the state of the USSR was given to the State Emergency Committee of the USSR, and the state entered a state of emergency. ”

Hearing the news on television, the Soviet experts in the screening room were in an uproar.

The head of the map also made a public appearance a few days before his vacation to Crimea, and it was seen that he was in a good state of mind. It's hard to believe that you are suddenly unable to exercise the powers of the presidency because of health reasons.

Thinking of the news that the "New Union Treaty" was revealed in the newspapers on the 15th and the imminent signing of the treaty on the 20th, at the last moment of the signing of the treaty, the map head was suddenly unable to perform his duties, which was inevitably too much to cover up.

As the Soviet Central Television finished broadcasting the emergency news, and then the Swan Lake clip that was played on a loop of the Soviet leader's death, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

If it's really just the head of the map that's dead, it's not a big deal. The death of a president in a modern country is actually what it is. But in the event of a coup d'état at the critical juncture before the signing of the New Union Treaty, the Soviet Union would have really reached a crossroads in history.

As the state of emergency committee declared a state of emergency, an armored division and a mechanized infantry division have moved into Moscow. Tanks on the streets, state of emergency, no one knows what will happen in the future.

"Comrade Makarov, what are the plans of the delegation? What should we do now, return home, or continue the trip?"

Makarov was at a loss and shook his head: "I think it's better to call Comrade Shenin first, and then come up with an idea." ”

"So what do you think of the new alliance treaty, and what will our future look like if the country is like this?"

Someone next to him poked his head out and sighed, "What will it become? Anyway, no matter what it becomes, what can we people do?"

Makarov looked left and right, clenched his fist in his hands: "What will become of the country, I don't know." I know only one thing, the Kuznetsov and the Varyag, only a great Soviet Union was able to build it. It was the Union of Soviets, not the Union of Sovereign Republics. ”

After saying this, Makarov stood up and walked outside: "I'm going to call Comrade Schernin, at this time, we have only one thing to do, and that is unity. ”

Makarov's back disappeared outside the door, and he didn't see the evasive gazes of some of the people behind him.

If the Soviets were really able to unite as bravely as the Great Patriotic War at this time, how could the Soviet Union have fallen to such a point?

Seeing that the country is afraid of chaos, some obscure olive branches that have not been considered before do not seem to be unable to be used as temporary shelters.

A villa comparable to the Soviet leader, a two-month tropical beach vacation per year. With a monthly salary of thousands of dollars, as well as a car and assistants, such a day is too tempting compared to China - oh, yes! There is also a condition that cannot be refused, but the Chinese have promised unlimited vodka! Of course, only for lunch and dinner. After all, at least make sure that you have half a day to work!
