Chapters 233 and 4
Chapter 233 Cailu "I know!" Guo Wen smiled and said to Zhang Shaozhong next to him: "Money is such a problem, as long as you find Mr. Hu, there must be a way!"
Zhang Shaozhong smiled and didn't answer his words.
When it comes to making money itself, he knows more about Hu Wenhai's ability than Guo Wen.
"Mr. Hu, let's talk about it, what is a good way to make money?"
Guo Wen came over.
"Well, if the Navy can do me a small favor, I might be able to help you find a way to get money. β
Hu Wenhai touched his chin and waited for the price to sell.
"I can't be the master of big things. β
Guo Wen hurriedly made a statement, but then said: "But Mr. Hu's matter, I will report it truthfully as soon as possible!"
"Well, do you know Spey Engine?"
"What to think, what to recall?"
Guo Wen was confused.
However, Zhang Shaozhong next to him was very familiar with the equipment, and hurriedly said: "It is an aero engine for aircraft fighters, the British's Spey MK202 engine." This kind of engine was imported from Britain in our country in the seventies. However, with the discontinuation of the corresponding aircraft project, the research and development of this engine has also stopped. β
Guo Wen nodded, this kind of dismount project has been in the sea for a few years, and he has long been surprised.
"Mr. Hu is interested in this engine?"
Hu Wenhai found a steel plate in the shade and blew it with his mouth, and then sat down: "I'm really interested in this engine, there is money in it!"
"Oh!
Guo Wen's eyes lit up, and he sat down directly beside Hu Wenhai without caring about the dirty, and asked with great interest, "Can Mr. Hu explain it in detail?"
"That's fine. β
Hu Wenhai simply agreed: "There is an attack aircraft called the A-7 attack aircraft on the US Navy aircraft carrier, do you know?"
"Ah, yes!"
Guo Wen is not a straw bag, and he still has this level of naval knowledge: "Is it the ugly plane that looks like a puffed toad?"
"Yes. β
Hu Wenhai smiled and nodded: "Don't say it, this description is really vivid!"
"The biggest advantage of the A7 attack aircraft is its bomb load and range, its maximum combat radius is more than 3,600 kilometers, and it can attack Haikou from Harbin in one takeoff! And this super range relies on its TF41 engine. This TF41 engine. It is a non-afterburner version developed from Spey engines. Therefore, the potential of Spey engines can be seen from this. β
"Oh, that's amazing!"
Guo Wen's imagination of an aircraft that can cross such a long distance at one time is really tempting for the navy.
There is no difference between the equipment of the Chinese Navy and the Air Force, and the legs are as short as corgis...... Forget it on land, anyway, just build more airports.
But the sea flew into the sea, and there were no aircraft carriers.
Where can I find the airport to land?
So the Chinese Navy in the eighties was an out-and-out coastal garrison, and the air cover that aircraft could provide was too pitiful.
A fleet without air cover.
Of course, there is no sense of security.
If it weren't for the fact that Panda was the appointed guardian of the northern sky, the Navy itself would know that it couldn't afford to feed the big-bellied F-14, otherwise it would have to compete with the Air Force.
Regardless of combat effectiveness, the A-7 attack aircraft is indeed quite touching in this range alone, and it has a performance that can make every Chinese navy's eyes hot.
Hu Wenhai continued: "Then, the Phantom series fighters produced by the French use an engine called Atta-9, which has only a very small difference in appearance from the Spey engine. And the performance of Spey engines. But the Atta 9 engine can't catch up. Spey, which has an afterburner, is able to provide twice as much thrust as the Atta 9. So you see, if we can put Spey engines on Mirage fighters......"
"That naturally greatly enhances the combat capability of the aircraft!"
Needless to say than Hu Wenhai, Guo Wen took it himself: "However, it is not a simple matter to change the engine of this plane, can it really be done like this?"
"I just came back from Shengjing today, and I specifically consulted experts from the 606 Institute. From the number of jΓΉ on paper. It is possible. But whether it will work or not depends on the real trick. β
"Do you want to get a Mirage fighter from the French? Let the French know, what should they do if they leave us alone?"
Hu Wenhai smiled silently.
Zhang Shaozhong, who was sitting next to Guo Wen, took over the conversation and explained: "This is impossible, the manufacturer of the Mirage fighter is the French Dassault Aircraft Company. This company is a French 'state-owned enterprise'. Heavily influenced by the French government. The French have always been more ambitious than the sky in Europe, and they have a century-old blood feud with the British, and no French dares to use British engines on the Mirage fighter, otherwise it would be a 'French traitor'. β
"Don't you do this, let's be like little devils?"
Guo Wen was stunned.
Zhang Shaozhong spread his hands: "It's almost meaningful, it should be understood like this, the Japanese take the road of socialism, and the United States moves to Southeast Asia and has a land border with us." Anglo-French relations are understood in this way. That's pretty much it. No matter how big the contradiction between Britain and France is, after all, there is still the main enemy of Su Xiu, so the contradiction has not intensified. β
"Oh, that's what I see. β
Guo Wen nodded: "No matter how good the little devil's things are, our army's weapons still have to be produced by ourselves." β
That's what Britain and France mean. β
Hu Wenhai saw that Guo Wen understood, so he continued: "The key to the problem now is two aspects. The first is to promote the continuation of the Spey plan and achieve complete localization. The second is to get the modified test bench for the Mirage 3 and Mirage F1, both of which need to have a sufficient amount of impetus, obviously just by my flickering - ah no, I'm afraid it's not enough to appeal. β
"This, where to get on the Mirage 3 and Mirage F1? Go to France to buy imported fighters, it's not an easy task. β
Guo Wen blinked, pretending not to understand Hu Wenhai's truth.
Hu Wenhai and Zhang Shaozhong glanced at each other and said with a smile: "You don't have to go to France, you can import it from Pakistan, they have both kinds of fighters." β
"Hey, that's a coincidence!"
Guo Wen smashed his fist on the palm of his hand and smiled excitedly: "Mr. Hu probably doesn't know that Pakistan now has a delegation that is a guest in our navy." β
"How?"
Hu Wenhai really doesn't know, in his memory, Pakistan didn't buy any Chinese warships around 85 years, right?
It seems that there is a business of missile boats, and there is no need for high-level delegations.
"It's a Fuqing-class comprehensive supply ship. β
It was Zhang Shaozhong who spoke, and he knew more about this than Guo Wen.
Hu Wenhai suddenly realized.
He paid attention to all combat-ready warships, and he really didn't remember that Pakistan had purchased Chinese integrated supply ships.
Also, who is interested in remembering such inconspicuous military auxiliary ships.
"Who are the who's here?"
Hu Wenhai asked.
"There are people from the Logistics Command of the Ministry of Defense of Pakistan and the Navy, and the Ministry of Defense and the Logistics Command should be able to talk about this matter. β
"That's great! I can pay for the introduction of the Phantom Fighter, I just want to move faster!"
Hu Wenhai really didn't expect it.
It was simply dozing and met the pillow.
On his side, he was worried about how to promote the Spey project, and there were Pakistanis who received warships in the country.
As long as Spey can really fit on the Phantom fighter.
Then the rest of the matter will be a matter of course.
The Air Force is not interested in Spey, but the Navy will certainly be interested in such an engine with fuel-efficient legs.
After taking the Spey engine, maybe you will want to win the TF41.
The US imperialists and others waited for the A7 to get out of the way and change it to plastic bugs, and they wished to remove the TF41 on the A-7's buttocks.
Without the engine, how can the old man object to plastic bugs!
Guo Wen is also very happy, no matter what Hu Wenhai said about the way to get money, at least if you get it right, the navy may be able to get a little money here in Spey's upgrade project.
"Without further ado, I'll go and help Mr. Hu get in touch!"
Guo Wen didn't say a word.
Stand up and run.
Hu Wenhai watched him run away in a hurry, and then turned around, Shao Zhong said: "Bureau - it is said that Zhang Zhuyan is going to Iraq recently?"
"Oh, that's the thing. β
Zhang Shaozhong nodded: "The first batch of equipment in China has been produced, and the Iraqi side is urging it tightly, and it plans to go to the first phase of the project first." β
"Zhang Zhuyan went to be a translator. It's a bit of a shame. β
Hu Wenhai smiled and rehashed the old words: "I have always wanted to cooperate with the Navy to build a new concept equipment research and development center -- well, this name is not very good, a little too 'militarized'." β
Hu Wenhai pondered for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and suddenly realized: "I thought of a good name, which is called the New Concept Equipment R&D Center internally." Externally, how about calling it the 'Brain and Insight Research Center'? β
"This ......"
Zhang Shaozhong was full of black lines, waved his hand and said: "Mr. Hu asked me to think about it again, and I will talk about it when I come back from Iraq." β
"It's fine. β
Hu Wenhai didn't push him too much, after all, it was a major matter related to his personal future.
Hu Wenhai temporarily put aside the matter of the Spey project, waited for the reply of the navy with peace of mind, and held the delivery ceremony of the 131 10,000-ton bulk carrier.
After a comprehensive review by Party A.
Finally, it was determined that the ships produced using the general section shipbuilding method fully met the quality requirements, and the acceptance task was completed with the signature of Shun Lì.
After the delivery ceremony, Hu Wenhai generously asked Bochuan's canteen to prepare a sumptuous dinner - mainly meat, fatty meat and braised pork, and the characteristics of the Northeast generally do not call fried meat with vegetables meat dishes.
Meat dishes, that is a treatment that only refers to pure meat dishes.
Eating meat openly, among the shipyard workers of the eighties, was still a thing to be happy about.
Halfway through the banquet, Hu Wenhai saw Guo Wen hurriedly coming over.
He leaned on Hu Wenhai's ear and whispered: "Mr. Hu, the Pakistani delegation wants to see you." β
Chapter 234: Pre-Sales Pitch "See Me?"
Hu Wenhai was a little inexplicable, and it was said that he didn't need to come forward to buy two fighter planes.
Unlike China or the Soviet Union, Pakistan has no threshold for arms purchases in the world under the role of containing the Soviet Union's influence in Afghanistan.
The Americans sold the Pakistani F-16 and, by the way, returned a dollar loan.
The French sold them fighter attack planes, and the wealthy relatives of the Arabs pooled their hands to change the equipment of the minibuses.
Pakistan reciprocated with a peach, and he is the first pair of red sticks in the green religion, and he is the best player in the Arab world!
Not to mention, without the help of Pakistani mercenaries, the Saudi tyrants would have been bulldozed by the Yemeni ** armed forces long ago.
Relying on that group of real Saudi veteran soldiers, with a Gauss rifle, they can also be beaten eight by Yemeni mud legs.
There is always Saudi Arabia, which wants to harm the people, and it can be said that the value of life is supported by Pakistan.
China bought two French fighter jets from Pakistan to make up for the shortfall, which was a matter of phone calls.
The two sides pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, what is the need for him to come forward?
If Hu Wenhai came forward to be useful, then he would not need to find the navy to promote this matter.
Fighters are, after all, weapons.
How can China, which doesn't even let gas dogs be privately owned, let private individuals get such a big killer weapon that is still in service.
Even to avoid suspicion, Hu Wenhai did not think of taking the route outside the system to promote the project in a roundabout way.
So from his point of view, he really can't think of what Pakistan wants to see him for.
But since people have this requirement, on the ground in China, there is really no place that Mr. Hu does not dare to go to.
He nodded immediately.
stood up and apologized to the others at the table, and said in a piece of "Mr. Hu, you have a lot of opportunities"
The eyes are down.
followed Guo Wen out of the cafeteria.
The location of the meeting is not far away, of course, it can't be in Bochuan, but it is not out of the ground of Xiucheng.
Guo Wen drove Hu Wenhai to pick up Zhang Shaozhong and left the factory area, drove east for more than an hour, and arrived at the port area of Xiucheng Port.
The port of Xiucheng in these years is not large, and the throughput and the number of ships docking can be said to be "barely maintained"
Nothing more.
If it weren't for Hu Wenhai's outward-looking economy in Xiucheng, maybe this small port would not even be able to pay workers' wages.
When the major customers of the port arrive, no matter how there is no service-minded leader, at least they know that it is convenient.
The Xiucheng Port Authority is built in the port office area of Xiucheng Port.
Hu Wenhai and Guo Wen asked people to clear the roof of the port authority building, and a helicopter flew in the air not long after.
Thanks to Hu Wenhai's helicopter assault tactics deployed in the Liaoning West exercise, the PLA has been able to appreciate the flexibility of helicopters on the battlefield and the powerful threat to tanks.
Since that exercise, the military has significantly increased its investment in helicopter deployment.
After taking over the first batch of Black Hawk helicopters, China was a little unsatisfied, and ordered more Black Hawk helicopters than in history.
One of the second batch of Black Hawks was paid by Hu Wenhai out of his own pocket and borrowed the light of the Air Force to "fill his pocket"
Target.
There was no such thing as a private jet in those days.
But it is the same for Mr. Hu to hang on the account of the Air Force.
Based on Hu Wenhai's current relationship with the Air Force -- this is just a matter of drizzle.
And what is flying in the air now, of course, cannot be Mr. Hu's private plane, but a straight-five helicopter assigned to the Shengjing Military Region.
This helicopter took off from Dagang and flew to Xiucheng in more than three hours, which shows the urgency of the Pakistanis -- no matter how iron the Pakistani railway is, they have to reimburse the fuel money for this helicopter themselves.
The helicopter landed on the roof of the Port Authority building.
The hatch was brushed open from the inside, and two bearded soldiers jumped out of the plane.
"This is Deputy Minister Hadley of the Pakistani Ministry of Defense, this is Major General Saif of the Logistics Command. β
Zhang Shaozhong listened to the words of the two people who jumped off the plane, and hurriedly translated Hu Wenhai: "They asked, which one is Mr. Hu Wenhai." β
"I'm Hu Wenhai, welcome two Pakistani friends!"
Hu Wenhai smiled kindly and went up to shake hands with the two of them, and exchanged a few words of greeting.
Then a crowd watched as the helicopter rose off the ground.
Only then did he take two Pakistani servicemen downstairs to the conference room arranged by the port authority.
The Xiucheng Port Authority itself is not a large unit, and the benefits are average, and the conference rooms arranged are really not big.
From Hu Wenhai's point of view, this conference room may usually make a cameo appearance in the cafeteria.
In any case, this enticing scented meeting room welcomed two Pakistani guests for the first time.
"Mr. Hu is very young, which surprised me a little. β
Zhang Shaozhong began to relay the words of the Pakistani two: "We temporarily postponed the activities arranged by the Chinese side and rushed here in the hope of talking to Mr. Hu." β
"That's fine. β
Hu Wenhai nodded generously and asked, "I don't know what the two guests want to talk to me about?"
"That's right. β
Hadley, who spoke as the undersecretary of defense, touched the two moisses on the side of his mouth: "Two months ago, we got a videotape provided by a Chinese friend. The tape, marked as top secret, is a documentary about a Chinese exercise between a Chinese light infantry regiment and an Iraqi so-called heavily armored tank regiment. And the result of the exercise, it turned out that the light infantry regiment defeated the Iraqi tank regiment at a very low cost, which was a great touch to our Pakistani army, and at the same time there were many questions. β
In fact, before Hadley finished speaking, Hu Wenhai already knew what he was going to say.
A project that could sell Iraq for seven billion dollars.
How can the country never forget that its hardcore minibus is not.
One sheep is to put two sheep is to drive, other countries are not easy to say, at least the market of minibuses still has to try.
Perhaps, one more miracle will be replicated and the minibus will be lame - oh no, the minibus can't be fooled.
Sold to them.
It's got to be the real thing.
If the minibus is pitted and can't withstand the pressure from India, it will be difficult to manage.
So.
China is cautious about selling the system to Pakistan, and Pakistan is equally cautious about whether it wants to use it.
The Chinese side is only responsible for providing the true information of this system, whether or not, the initiative is in the hands of Pakistan.
And separated by a layer of paper and a screen, the understanding of this system is a bit superficial anyway.
The first phase of the Iraqis project is under construction, and there are no practical examples for the Pakistanis to examine.
Therefore, whether this system meets the needs of the Pakistani side is undoubtedly the most vocal at this time.
"No problem, Minister Hadley can raise any questions he has with me. Yes. I must know everything, and I have to say everything. β
Hu Wenhai happily agreed.
"Then you're welcome. β
Hadley nodded, took out a thick book, opened the cover and began to inquire in detail.
It can only be said that fortunately, the essence of this system is the information system, not the specific weapons and equipment.
Hu Wenhai, who is well aware of the development of the future information society, can only deal with Hadley's problems handy.
The specific way the information is organized and some details of information technology make Hadley and Saif who is constantly recording look sideways, and it is hard to believe that these things are really said by Hu Wenhai.
A young man under twenty years old.
Even if you learn this system from school, I'm afraid you can't learn it so familiar to him, right?
Hadley had been talking to Hu Wenhai about the early lights since the afternoon, and the people from the port authority wanted to invite them to Xiaozao for a good meal at dinner, but they were unanimously rejected by several people in the conference room and changed to eating and talking while holding a lunch box.
From Hadley's preparation Cheng dΓΉ was able to come, this time the Pakistanis received a delegation of missile boats.
It should have the task of contacting Hu Wenhai.
It's just that the two sides are in a hurry, Hu Wenhai wants to borrow the light of the Pakistanis, and Hadley also has a problem to ask him.
In the end, Sajf's record of the text was spread all over the table, and Hadley and Hu Wenhai also felt a little mentally exhausted.
The long hours of mental work made everyone in the conference room look tired.
Hadley's tiredness could not be concealed, and he yawned and asked one last question.
"Mr. Hu believes that if Pakistan wants to realize an information-based battlefield according to your vision. How much money do I need to invest?"
Hu Wenhai was already holding on, turned his head a little Mu Ran and thought about it, and subconsciously shook his head and said: "I can't say this, I still ask Baoli Company to put forward the specific offer." β
A hint of disappointment flashed in Hadley's eyes, and he specially picked a time when both sides were tired to ask questions, just to let Hu Wenhai inadvertently slip his mouth.
It's a pity that Hu Wenhai has long been an old fritter in the mall, how can this simple trick work?
"Minister Hadley, don't know what Mirage fighter we need......"
Hu Wenhai smiled secretly, this little bit of caution can't play with you, what else am I messing with?
Our Mr. Hu's time is so expensive, and it takes more than half a day to provide pre-sales services for Pakistan, right?
Fortunately, Mr. Hu himself is not an insider in the system, and the discipline of foreign affairs can't control him, so he simply brought out his private goods straight to the point.
In the face of the person-in-person urging of the parties, Minister Hadley had no choice but to nod and said: "The friendly relations between Israel and Palestine and China, of course, there is no problem with such a trivial matter. Since the Chinese comrades are in a hurry, I can inform the country to immediately start handling this matter and complete the deal as soon as possible. β
Hu Wenhai smiled with satisfaction, stood up and stretched out his hand: "Then I'll wait for the good news from Minister Hadley." β
"Rest assured, comrades in China. β
Hadley, exhausted, shook Hu Wenhai's hand.
