592 Sharpening the knives against the Pakistanis again (43/100)
"This is what I came to you for. The higher authorities need to listen to you before they reply to the Pakistani side, and tonight, the Pakistani people will come here. Long Yaohua said.
The others are not explained.
Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng understood what they said.
Long Yaohua hoped that the cooperation would continue, but some military leaders were worried that they would leak domestic military secrets, let foreign countries know the true situation of domestic technology, and threaten national security, so they did not agree.
At present, many of the senior generals of the military have participated in wars, and they like to hide good things and throw them out as killer weapons at critical moments, and the effect of that is definitely greater than letting the enemy know that there are good things.
What's more, the Chinese have been playing various art of war since they fought thousands of years ago, combining virtual and real, so that the enemy can not figure out the situation, is it in line with the art of war?
It's just that these old generals don't know that the technology reported at home is much worse than abroad.
"Understood, when?" Xie Kai asked. "Lao Zheng has to lie down for several days. ”
"The Pakistanis are about 1 a.m., and Mubara wants to talk to you. Long Yaohua said to Xie Kai.
Not an inquiry, not anything else.
After finishing speaking, he didn't ask Zheng Yucheng about his condition, let alone let him recuperate, and left directly.
Xie Kai understood.
"It seems that they don't want those $200 million engine to go to waste. Zheng Yucheng said. "But we're going to make it a trainer plane, what will the Pakistanis do? Can they agree to go to war with a trainer plane?"
"There is not much difference between a trainer and a fighter. Besides, the technology is much different, just a few subtle differences. Xie Kai said.
"Then we?" asked Wang Guilin as the two of them asked.
Zheng Yucheng's face was full of exhaustion, his physical condition was already very bad, and he was even more exhausted for a while.
Wang Guilin meant to ask if there would be a meeting to discuss the matter of declaring the project.
"It's okay, I'll lie down and let them discuss it in the ward, don't let the doctors and nurses find out, or it will be troublesome." Zheng Yucheng's voice was weak.
"Forget it, there's no rush in that matter, everyone is busy all day during the day, and they are all tired after sitting on the plane for so long, this is not in a hurry. Xie Kai said. "Rest well and ask about Pakistan in the evening. ”
Mubara looked for Xie Kai, not the official person in charge first, and there was a lot to say about it.
Long Yaohua suspected that there was some shady deal between Xie Kai and Mubara, so he kept looking at Xie Kai with suspicious eyes.
Wang Guilin brought dinner for the two, and after eating, the two of them didn't care about anything else, they both fell asleep.
Seeing that the old and young people soon snored, Wang Guilin shook his head, he didn't sleep.
The people who take care of Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng will come here tonight with the technical person in charge of the declared project.
He also had to go to the hotel and discuss things with the others.
The main topic of the meeting was Pakistan's request for China's approval to participate in the Super 7 project, and this time they came to sign a specific cooperation agreement.
"The 359 tank has exposed the most advanced equipment and technology level in China, if the highest technical level of the Air Force is exposed, how can national defense be carried out?" said an old man with gray hair and a white-washed cadre uniform, "The super seven project, many of the technologies now belong to the most advanced level in China......
"Chief, we can actually think differently. For a long time, we have been very strict about the secrecy of military technology, and now that the state implements the national defense policy of strategic defense, according to our habit, foreign countries will definitely not consider this to be the highest level of technology in China......" Li Mingshan defended. "It's best to make foreign intelligence agencies incomprehensible. ”
Any art of war is about the way of fiction and reality.
"But we don't have any equipment with a higher level of technology in our country at present! Even if we do, foreign intelligence departments will be able to infer the range of performance parameters of our new-generation equipment based on the level of technology they have learned......," another veteran general said.
There is no domestic!
The state-of-the-art equipment that 404 made was sold.
It has not been used by the domestic troops, so it was sold for money.
"That's actually not bad. Anyway, we can't afford to equip it, and we can't provide too much money, so they use the funds obtained from selling equipment to develop more advanced technology, and then use it on our domestic equipment, which is not only lower cost, but also more reliable. "If there is opposition, there will naturally be support.
The military is not just because the 404 sold the most advanced technical equipment.
The idea of the Continental Army, since the founding of the country, has always existed.
The most powerful equipment of the army is tanks, and the most advanced tanks in the country have not been equipped with troops until now.
This made many military chiefs unhappy.
What about dissatisfaction?
To develop new technologies, we need to get money.
The military is too poor to support such huge expenditures, after all, the entire country's scientific research system needs money.
Most of the opponents are people who are less than 404, and the price of the tank is too high.
"In the beginning, everyone should know that they were given project autonomy and the right to operate themselves. Either they will have their rights withdrawn, or they will have to continue to ...... according to the current situation," another veteran cadre said, "The new generation of tanks, with the verification and technological breakthrough of the 359 tank, is progressing very quickly, but there is also a problem, the cost is too high! If it were not for the 359 tank to bear part of the technical development funds, the development cost would be even higher......
"You can't sell the best technology just because it's costly. What if war breaks out? Is national defense still necessary? Although all kinds of intelligence at present indicate that the probability of a large-scale war breaking out is very low. The old man who objected at first said.
"Yes, the situation on the battlefield in Afghanistan is most obvious, the Americans are flying planes to fight the war posing as Pakistanis, and the Soviets are flying planes pretending to be Indians to divert Pakistan's attention......"
Whether for or against, both sides have good reasons.
The controversy has been going on.
Long Yaohua did not attend the meeting, and after coming out of the hospital, he went back to his office to arrange some things.
It was not until twelve o'clock that the secretary was allowed to drive and personally go to the airport to meet the Pakistanis.
Pakistan's delegation this time was small, and only Mubarah brought more than a dozen people to China.
They were all old acquaintances, and the two sides didn't have much greetings, so they got in the car directly.
"General, there is a lot of opposition in our country, after all, the Super Seven fighter is the integration of the highest technological level in our country. Long Yaohua was sitting in the same car as Mubara.
Mubara frowned and looked at Long Yaohua, "They want to raise the price?"
In this case, they are mentally prepared.
But the current situation, the Chinese take advantage of their urgent need to raise prices, which is still unacceptable.
Long Yaohua smiled bitterly.
At the beginning, Pakistan communicated with the people of 404, and the intention contracts were signed, and 404 invested a large amount of money to poach people in the national aviation system, so that the project progressed quickly.
Even for the sake of this project, regardless of the risks, the fighter design had not yet been designed, so he went to the Soviet Union to purchase 200 RD-33 engines in a large amount, and paid more than 200 million US dollars in advance.
The Chinese side started the project as agreed, but the Pakistani side made progress because the United States restricted their F-16, and the result has been delayed, putting the 404 side under great pressure.
Now it is accusing China of not being moral.
"No, Mr. Minister, they don't want to raise the price. I only learned today that you came over, but we are against it at home. How many of the 359 tank projects belong to advanced technology in the world, don't I need to say?" Long Yaohua was also a little dissatisfied.
Pakistanis are cheap and have to sell well.
Either way.
Brother, you have to settle accounts.
The most unpleasant thing for the military is that Pakistan has begun to equip it, and they have built their own production lines, but as a result, the tanks used by the armored troops of their own troops are still technologically backward!
"That has nothing to do with this cooperation!" Mubara felt badly in his heart, "the Air Department disagrees, and I have been trying my best to convince them. Otherwise......"
He couldn't say it anymore himself.
After all, what is going on with them being in a hurry to get super seven, everyone knows it.
"Let's not talk about this, Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng are still in the hospital......" Long Yaohua said.
Mubara was shocked, "Assassinated?"
"In our China, how many days can a killer trained by a foreign spy agency live?" asked Long Yaohua domineeringly.
In the whole of China, in the field of counter-espionage, few countries in the world can compare.
Killers, in particular, are even more difficult to survive in China.
It is not for nothing that the internationally famous killer organization, mercenaries, lists China as a forbidden place.
Mubara hurriedly asked what was wrong with Shekai.
Xie Kaike is a very important person in their cooperation with the Chinese side.
So, the two successfully changed the topic.
The convoy that was supposed to greet the secret representative of Pakistan continued to move forward, but a red flag following behind it left the convoy and headed for Hospital 301.
Xie Kai woke up at twelve o'clock, thinking that Mo Qi and the others came back to see him, but they didn't come at all, and he didn't feel good in his heart.
As soon as he woke up, Wang Guilin also woke up.
"Uncle Zheng, did you say that we should take this opportunity to raise the price? If the Pakistanis hadn't been cheated this time, they would never have come to us. Xie Kai was in a bad mood, so he pondered to find something awkward about the Pakistanis.
What could be more comforting and in a better mood than asking Pakistanis to give more money?
"That's not good, right? you cheated them $50 million in tanks, and they didn't get anything...... Fighters are not tanks, the cost is higher, and they have risen too much, so why don't they cooperate?" Wang Guilin felt that this kid was too unkind when he heard that Xie Kai wanted to pit Pakistanis again.
"Yes, let them pay more! We are under so much pressure!" Xie Kai thought of this, and his depressed mood became better.
