Chapter 287: Poor Money

Korolev is worthy of being a Soviet, and when he met Hu Wenhai early in the morning, he actually dragged him to the canteen of the guest house.

In the name of it, I drank well yesterday, and I must taste it today. Hu Wenhai couldn't refuse his eldest brother, so he had to let him drag him to the wine table.

After two more cups of Moutai, Korolev slapped the cup on the table with a snap, reached out and wiped his mouth, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"This wine is really good, that is, it is a little worse than our vodka!"

Hu Wenhai smiled, and the small glass of one or two wines in front of him was only missing the top layer. That was the first sip of wine he accompanies him, and then no matter how much Korolev tried to persuade him to drink, he stopped talking.

Korolev persuaded him several times, but when he saw that Hu Wenhai really didn't eat oil and salt in terms of drinking, he had no choice but to pour himself a drink.

Fortunately, Moutai and pure alcohol vodka are not the same taste, so Korolev, who drank soy sauce wine for the first time, was not bored, and the wine was also happy.

Hu Wenhai himself doesn't drink much, beer is fine, but liquor is generally not drunk. However, he saw that Korolev liked it, so he also said happily: "Korolev, if you like it, just bring more when you leave." ”

"Then you're welcome. Korolev had this idea, and immediately smiled.

He squeaked, took another sip of the glass, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that this wine is not as strong as our vodka, and it may not be popular in the Soviet Union." There are many varieties of Chinese wine, I said, brother, do you know which kind of price is cheaper?"

Hu Wenhai thought about it, not to mention, he was really a little impressed by this request.

The natural environment of the Northeast is similar to that of the Soviet Union. People here used to drink and like spirits. Especially before the Kanto region, it was a bitter cold place in the middle of nowhere. I can't make good things to make sake too.

However, there is no shortage of coarse grains in the Northeast. Sorghum, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peas, barnyard grains, and even feed for large animals were used to make wine during the Qing Dynasty.

After the liberation, the brewing industry in Northeast China has developed greatly, and even the small counties below can often have a few small distilleries that are sorghum roasted and sweet potato scorched. In the future, Xiucheng has unearthed the world's longest cellared liquor, and the history of this aspect can be regarded as a long history.

Maozi's vodka is, to put it bluntly, alcohol mixed with water, and it is cheap, so Hu Wenhai casually bought cheap liquor from the county and township distilleries. There is no difficulty at all in Xiucheng to gather tens of thousands of tons in one place.

Of course, this is a drop in the bucket compared to the wine that Maozi consumes every year. But if such a business is handed over to one person, it is really like making a millionaire every minute.

Hu Wenhai nodded dryly: "In this way, I will prepare a cart of wine for you when you leave." Let's count it as five tons, and I'll prepare a copy of all the liquor we can find on the market, right?"

"Okay, brother, you're funny!" Korolev smiled.

As if he felt that he was not embarrassed to take Hu Wenhai's wine for nothing, Korolev thought about it, then looked around left and right, and then whispered: "I'll tell you the truth with my brother-in-law." It is not impossible for Yulia and Natalia to come to China. But it's not right now. If cooperation between the Soviet Union and China can be increased, it will be helpful to change the general environment. What's more, although Yulia's mother and daughter can't go to China, they may not be able to go to a third country......"

"Oh?" Hu Wenhai was really shocked when he heard this, and he understood: "Korolev, just say it directly, which country is convenient?"

"Well, Romania is good. China and Romania, relations are okay, right?"

"Romania, ......"

Hu Wenhai's face was cloudy, this country is indeed too famous.

Romania, the country that was named after the "country of the Romans", was actually founded by the Dacians, but it was conquered by the Romans.

Of course, this is a historical problem, and it's all in the past. But when it comes to Romania, the memory in a remote corner of Hu Wenhai's head has been quietly activated.

The steamship DePauw.

The COSCO steamship built by Romania suffered from a series of breakdowns on its way back to China after handing over the ship, and finally capsized in the Indian Ocean. Of the 31 Chinese sailors on board, only two survived.

Hu Wenhai's memory is only such a string of cold numbers and words, but imagine that in the rough Indian Ocean, a ship suddenly loses power, is overturned by the raging waves, and finally sinks into a whirlpool that swallows up most of the people on board, and only five people on a life raft survive.

Nine days later, before the life raft was discovered by a Japanese steamer, three of the five had died of thirst.

Whether it is the helplessness of facing the turbulent sea and the sinking of ships, or the horror of people dying of thirst, they hide behind this short line of words. Cold and terrifying.

This is the Derbor, built by the Romanians. On its maiden voyage, it cost itself and 29 Chinese sailors their lives.

As for the future, the country of Romania became even more famous. After Su Dongpo, he executed the Ceausescu family, and this country became famous as the "big brothel of Europe" after joining the European Union.

Romania, once an oil producer, was able to produce cars, gasoline, ships, airplanes and computers. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the only industry in the country that could make a name for itself internationally was the Black Reef Twins and the hardcore ones in the German barracks......

Hu Wenhai hurriedly shook his head, cut off some memories of Romania, and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

For Hu Wenhai, there is really nothing about this country that makes him feel good.

But at least now in the eighties, China and Romania still have a bit of feelings as socialist brotherly countries. The Romanians are not having a good time, but they are not much worse. In the world, it is still a second-rate country, and the small life with the Soviet Union behind it can still go on.

Moreover, life is not easy in Romania, but the situation of the privileged class is different. The Ceausescu family has a bad ass of its own. The people below are naturally the same.

The people at the bottom can't live well. But the life of the privileged class on the side of the Ceausescu family was quite nourishing. There is KGB backing. I think Yulia and Natalia can't afford to lose anything in Romania.

No, it should even be said that life will be better than in Ukraine.

After all, Ukraine is still part of the Soviet Union, and it has not degenerated to the level of a comic country in later generations, so it is always necessary to talk about some rules. But Romania is an Eastern European North Korea, a typical Ceausescu family. As long as you have a relationship with the Romanian upper class, no one dares to say a word sideways.

Hu Wenhai thought a little unkindly, since Ceausescu's dogs can all have the rank of colonel, if they can get along with this family. It was a good channel to the Soviet Union.

"The Jovovich family is also related in Romania?" asked Hu Wenhai curiously.

Korolev smiled mysteriously, noncommittal, and just took a sip of the glass of wine in his hand.

Seeing this, Hu Wenhai didn't ask any more questions, and made a judgment in his heart.

......

Secretary Chi left Secretary Lu's office with the information documents on IGCT, and Secretary Lu knocked on the door of his leader's office.

Behind closed doors, no one knew what Secretary Lu said. However, after Secretary Chi got the information, he immediately found the Navy's own power components research institute, and came up with the specific results of the IGCT appraisal opinion in less than a week.

The power experts of the navy were shocked by the powerful performance of IGCT, and they couldn't believe that this was a scientific and technological achievement developed domestically.

Experts even said it bluntly. Such a level of technology can be at least five to ten years ahead of the current international advanced level. However, the principle and implementation of IGCT are almost a layer of window paper. Once it is made public, it will not be difficult for other countries to develop IGCT technology in a short period of time.

Of course, this "other country", which has no difficulty, only refers to the United States, Japan, Britain, France, and Germany.

Hu Wenhai stayed in the imperial capital for a week, and finally put on the table the situation of the navy's participation in trade with the Soviet Union.

It is also said that Hu Wenhai did not know much about the situation of Sino-Soviet trade, and there were indeed times of tension between China and the Soviet Union, but the two sides never broke off diplomatic relations from the beginning to the end. By 1985, the trade volume between China and the Soviet Union reached 4.5 billion Swiss francs, and it can never be said that there is no trade relationship between the two sides.

However, it should also be noted that the price here is in Swiss francs, and of course it is impossible for China and the Soviet Union to use Swiss currency for transactions. The fact is that before 88 years of Sino-Soviet trade, the vast majority of transactions were book-entry transactions and barter. The total annual transaction volume is a way to achieve a trade balance by importing each other's products into each other's countries in a planned manner.

By 1985, China's trade with the Soviet Union accounted for 3% of China's foreign trade. The total volume of Soviet trade with China accounted for only 1% of the Soviet Union's. This is undoubtedly very abnormal for a country of this size in China and the Soviet Union. But even such an achievement was not easy to come by before the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations.

Economic and trade development must first be constrained by political factors, and it is difficult to imagine that there will be great strides in economic and trade development without normalization of relations between the two countries. As long as there is no breakthrough in Sino-Soviet relations, expanding economic exchanges between the two countries will inevitably result in twice the effort.

It should be said that China had expectations for the growth of trade with the Soviet Union, and did some work in the early stage. This can be seen from the construction of the Northern Xinjiang Railway in 1985, if it were not so, the Northern Xinjiang Railway was built all the way to Alashankou, which cannot be explained.

But the reality is that the process of normalizing Sino-Soviet relations is still too slow. It is almost impossible to achieve unrestricted foreign trade between China and the Soviet Union like China and the United States.

In this regard, it is only the economy that gives way to politics. Without the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations, trade could only be bookkeeping and planning. And this kind of trade, the scale growth simply cannot meet the real needs.

For example, if the Navy wants to export down jackets to the Soviet Union this time, the normal procedure is to wait for the Sino-Soviet trade negotiations in 1986, and put the deal on the list in the negotiations at the beginning of the year. The Soviet side agreed to the import of down jackets, and drew and pulled in the country to find out the export products needed by the navy and make a list, in which the navy selected the products it wanted to import from the Soviet Union, the value of which was equal to the export of down jackets, and the trade negotiations were concluded.

Then. It is to pray that the grandfathers of the Soviet Union will be able to complete the trade production on time. Delivered on time. As for the information on distant-water fishery resources. I am afraid that it will never appear in the catalogue provided by the Soviet Union.

This mode of trade between China and the Soviet Union can be said to be extremely inefficient and rigid. Obviously, both sides have a need for a large number of transactions, but if Sino-Soviet relations cannot be normalized one day, it will be impossible to achieve free foreign trade, and there will be no possibility of expanding the scale of transactions. Because this kind of bookkeeping and barter negotiation transaction, because of the manpower and efficiency of both parties, there is always a limit.

That is, if the Navy wanted to trade with the Soviet Union. There is really only one way to continue to "smuggle."

Dealing directly with KGB is a political risk. Expanding the scale of trade and limiting the trade to the level of duck down for information is a test of the determination of the above.

However, to say that there can be such progress, it is really inseparable from Hu Wenhai's reasons.

IGCT is too powerful in promoting the integrated all-electric propulsion technology of warships. Hu Wenhai, who has mastered such a technology, is naturally more important than just a "can make money" can be described.

Now Hu Wenhai really has a bit of an "Edison" appearance. Not only is the business talent full, but the most important thing is the technical talent is also revealed.

At the beginning, viagra in China never figured out where Hu Wenhai got the technology, and drug development is not a project that can be completed by one person. And then the drone has a trace. Although the idea is very ingenious, the application is also mature technology. It is in the water lithium battery that Hu Wenhai's pioneering scientific research talent has been demonstrated. However, the application range of domestic water lithium battery is narrow, and the feeling is not as profound as that of Motorola.

It was not until the birth of IGCT that the navy seriously tested the performance of IGCT in detail, which made the upper leadership realize that Hu Wenhai's ability is not just used to make money.

Of course, the breakthrough of IGCT has led to a breakthrough in comprehensive all-electric warship technology, which in turn has an impact on the country's next-generation missile destroyer construction plan, and Mr. Hu's voice has been unconsciously improved.

In this way, the plan for the next generation of regional air defense ships proposed by him was also taken out and carefully studied.

C3I systems are on board, command automation, Sea Phoenix, and IGCT's all-electric propulsion.

After research, on the basis of these technologies, coupled with the introduction of the French Sea Sidewinder point defense missile, the TAVITAC combat system and the TSR3002 Sea Tiger radar, the ability of such a system to be integrated can even greatly exceed that of the British Type 42 destroyer.

In some respects, the new ship will be more advanced than Arleigh Burke, with a certain regional air defense capability, and the gap is mainly reflected in the phased array radar.

The work on the Type 052 destroyer, which had just begun to be designed, was urgently stopped, and the original design of the Type 052 destroyer was completely overturned, and the Navy began to investigate the possibility of regional air defense on the 052.

At the same time, the Navy also put forward new requirements for the design of 052, such as foreign trade.

In the previous Type 052, the Navy considered it mainly for its own use. But with the killer feature of integrated all-electric propulsion, the Navy is not willing to be lonely.

Although it is integrated all-electric propulsion alone, selling hulls is also good business. Not to mention that selling the hull alone will not yield much benefit to the navy, because the shipbuilding company itself can build and sell it for sale, and at most it will be equipped with IGCT all-electric propulsion.

Only by selling out in sets can the Navy fall into the benefits.

It is impossible for small countries and poor countries to use regional air defense, so it is required that 052 must have a modular design and be able to modularize the functions of warships. The regional air defense will be abolished, the domestic cheap radars will be replaced, and the command automation of the combat system can be modularly increased or decreased......

As a result, more, higher and stricter requirements were put forward for the design work of the Type 052 destroyer.

Again, these requirements imply a problem - money.

Without money, these beautiful plans are in the mirror. If you don't have capital, you can only watch that you won't make a lot of money in the future. What the future path will be is suddenly on the table of the Navy.

After a week of research and discussion, Secretary Chi finally had news coming over.

No matter how good the environment of the navy's guest house is, after all, it is not his own home, and Hu Wenhai has long been a little tired of living there. Fortunately, Korolev was always able to tell Yulia and Natalia interesting trivia about their lives, which made him feel that time was not so difficult.

When Secretary Chi informed him that the negotiations could be restarted, he looked elated, even more excited than Korolev.

"Secretary Chi!"

Hu Wenhai simply left Korolev, pulled Secretary Chi closer to his room, and asked excitedly: "Does the state really plan to adopt my plan and build a regional air carrier?"

"Well, it's possible. Secretary Chi hesitated, but still said in detail: "The country had a plan for the construction of Type 052 destroyers before, and the original plan was to start designing in 84 and complete the design in 89 and put it into use in 94, and there is no regional air defense capability." According to your message, the design work on the Type 052 destroyer has been suspended. ”

"Oh, that's great!" Hu Wenhai replied excitedly, but then frowned.

As Secretary Chi said, the historical Type 052 destroyer, from the design in 1984 to the entry into service in 1994, the entire project lasted for ten years. Even so, the project is still called the "Eight-Nation Alliance", because many of the important systems on board the ship are imported from abroad.

For example, the power system uses the American LM2500 gas turbine. The French Sea Sidewinder anti-aircraft missile, TAVITAC combat system, and Sea Tiger radar copied by the Haihongqi 7 are also the main technical sources of 052. Of course, by the time 052 began to be built into service, these imported systems had been completely absorbed domestically - well, except for the LM2500.

But if it is the same as in history, it has been made in 84 years until 94 years, so isn't the daylily all cold?

This daylily, Hu Wenhai meant in his heart, it was actually the Battle of 88. Speaking of which, the monkey is the last whetstone that is not easy to find, if you don't make full use of it, how can you be worthy of the opportunity of Hu Wenhai's rebirth?

In any case, in 1988, a regional defense ship was built, and when the time came, with the F-14, the monkey could be pressed and beaten in the South China Sea, completely eliminating the possibility of them reaching out to the South China Sea.

"Secretary Chi, I would like to ask, is it possible to come up with a district defense ship before 1988?"

"Huh?" Secretary Chi grew his mouth in fright, and shook his head again and again: "It's impossible to build a new type of warship in two years!"

"Not a new type of ship. Hu Wenhai emphasized: "Let's build a verification ship, everything is done with mature technology and ready-made systems imported from foreign countries, not to pursue the localization rate, but to verify what level of combat effectiveness such an integrated warship can reach." We can make the hull a little bigger, leaving room for all sides. The system was introduced directly, and only the Seaphoenix and Spey gas turbines were developed separately, as well as the power distribution system of IGCT. Introduce first, design and build at the same time. The Bohai shipyard that I renovated and the general section shipbuilding method can be used to keep up with the design schedule!"

"Verification ship?" Secretary Chi frowned deeply: "Comrade Xiaohu, is it necessary to be so nervous? We have plenty of time, and the navy can have regional air defense capability within ten years, which is already very remarkable." ”

"Of course it's necessary. Hu Wenhai nodded, thought for a while, and said: "The key is that the market waits for no one! By the 90s, the replacement of warships in the world will enter a peak, and if you wait until the 90s to build warships, the market will have already been robbed by other countries!"

"This. Secretary Chi calculated in his heart, and always seemed to feel that something was wrong: "In this way, the cost is ......."

Secretary Chi didn't say it thoroughly, but thinking about Hu Wenhai's "consistently correct", he had to carefully consider his opinion, which is the benefit of improving his right to speak.

Seeing Secretary Chi's hesitation, Hu Wenhai gritted his teeth and simply made the last killer move.

"I know it's not easy for the Navy to come up with this money. The design and construction are all carried out using the imported system, which requires a lot of capital, especially foreign exchange. If the Navy agrees to this plan, I will pay for this verification ship!"

Secretary Chi was stunned by Hu Wenhai's words, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Comrade Xiao Hu, do you know how much this is? Rushing to work and introducing equipment will be at least three or four billion US dollars!"

Hu Wenhai snapped when he heard this, and slapped an English newspaper on the table, and this was what he was waiting for! )
