Although Hu Wenhai reported his contact with Yulia in time, he was not without suspicion.

The fastest updated novel At this time, it is a bit suspicious to take the initiative to explore the negotiations for the introduction of F-14 fighters.
Do you know that his confession is not a bitter ploy?
Therefore, when they heard Hu Wenhai's question, Lin Qianjun and Zhang Tianqiao showed doubts.
"I don't think the Soviets want us to get the F-14, but isn't it too hasty to approach me now?"
Hu Wenhai carefully put forward his own idea: "And I want photos to show that their attention is still on the intelligence field, rather than on diplomacy." β
"Oh, what do you want to say?"
Hu Wenhai's statement aroused Lin Qianjun's interest, and he asked thoughtfully.
"What I'm trying to say is that the Soviets are probably just saying that they will never allow a secret deal between China and the United States. β
"I don't understand. β
Zhang Tianqiao sat down, shook his head, and said: "The Soviet Union will definitely not want us to get the F-14, so if they sue you about this matter, isn't it equivalent to suing us? What good does this do to the Soviet Union?"
"yes, that's what I didn't understand, so I thought, do the Soviets know more than we thought?"
Hu Wenhai's inquiring person asked: "So I'm a little curious, how are our negotiations with the Americans going? What is the situation that caused the Soviet Union's attitude toward this matter......
Lin Qianjun and Zhang Tianqiao glanced at each other, and couldn't help but show a solemn look on their faces.
The F-14 is definitely a good aircraft, the Chinese absolutely sincerely want to buy it, and now the door is also sold sincerely.
In that case, there is no reason why the negotiations should not be successful, right?
It's a pity that if it could really be so smooth, the big cat would have soared in the Chinese sky in its previous life.
"I think Comrade Xiao Hu can still be trusted, you"
"Hmmm......"
When Zhang Tianqiao heard Lin Qianjun's tone, he also groaned, and then nodded happily: "Yes, if people like Comrade Xiaohu can't be trusted, then who else can we trust?"
In the final analysis, the background conditions of Hu Wenhai's family are really good.
In ancient terms, this is the backbone of the ruling base, a typical world that receives the grace of the country, who else can they really believe if they don't believe it?
The information of the three generations of the old Hu family's family is all in the heads of Lin Qianjun and Zhang Tianqiao, not only the background of the political trial, but also the behavior on weekdays.
On the file, there is a personal life style and work experience, and even the comments written by Hu Wenhai's homeroom teacher every semester from childhood to adulthood, and the content of the essays on the Chinese exam papers.
I don't dare to say that it is nine times out of ten, but Lin Qianjun asked himself that combined with these materials and observations during this time, he believed that he still had the ability to judge a person's value orientation.
And Hu Wenhai, embodied in his thoughts, is no longer just patriotic, but deeply proud and superior as a Chinese.
In these years, patriotism is not scarce, but Chinese can make a sense of superiority, and there is no psychological gap between foreigners...... Don't you see, even a small person like Li Jiapo Guangyao in a small country has become a guest of honor?
Hehe, just this point, Hu Wenhai will be able to kill 99 of the whole of China in seconds.
After all, the arrogance after superiority and inferiority is like the reflection of the moon and the sun.
Since Hu Wenhai himself can be trusted, it may be helpful to listen to his thoughts in the current diplomatic incident.
Thinking so, Lin Qianjun began to introduce him: "Actually, we and Grummen are sincere. The F-14 fighter is of great significance to our national defense, and Grumman has been looking for new buyers for the F-14. In the international market, Grumman is not very optimistic in its current form. β
"Hehe, not too optimistic, obviously there is no other income except for the Persian cat. After Pahlavi stepped down, even the Persian cat had to be sold. β
"Ahemβ"
Lin Qianjun called Hu Wenhai a "Persian cat" for Yi Lang F-14
's nickname, I don't know if it's embarrassing or deeply appropriate, so I have to pretend to cough to divert my attention.
"That's why Grumman still values us. β
Lin Qianjun continued: "But this does not mean that there are no obstacles to negotiations, one of which is that the price of the F-14 is too high, although Grumman gave an internal purchase price for one of the US Navy's own people, but it is also a full 24 million US dollars a plane, which is really too expensive!"
"Yes, 24 million, and it costs 480 million dollars to get together a squadron of 20 F-14s!"
Zhang Tianqiao cooperated and complained beside him: "The foreign exchange allocated by the Air Force in a year can't make up this number." β
Hu Wenhai was even more straightforward, and further increased: "That's not right, there must be at least 4 spare planes." If you follow the standards of the Persian Cat, a squadron should have 8 spare aircraft as a reserve. Coupled with the procurement of standing spare parts, future overhaul and life extension, and even the import of supporting weapons, this project will not be able to be won without a billion dollars. β
"So, the price is unacceptable to us. β
Lin Qianjun nodded with difficulty and said bitterly: "And it's not just the price, the Americans also want to tie us to their chariots because of this." In addition, some political demands were also put forward, which could not be agreed upon. It is said that some people have gone so far as to say that the planes sold to us should also be sold to Takashima, and this is something that China must not agree. β
"Hehe, are the Americans dreaming? Sell it to the defenders of the Baodaodian Airport, and sell the F-14, a long-range high-altitude high-speed aircraft, this is forcing us to turn our faces, right?"
"What's the solution, that's the reality. β
Lin Qianjun sighed helplessly.
"So, now the negotiations are deadlocked?"
"Well, Grummen is under a lot of pressure. β
"The United Nations have already grasped the progress of the negotiations, so they are not very concerned about sabotaging our introduction of the F-14. On the one hand, I am indeed the point of contact between the two sides in this matter, and on the other hand, it is also because only I can contact them, after all, the foreign affairs discipline of the delegation is very strict. β
Hu Wenhai pondered: "Can we make use of the Soviets?"
There is another judgment that Hu Wenhai did not say, that is, it is very likely that the United States itself betrayed intelligence to the Soviet Union.
The Americans did not necessarily have any idea of the USSR, but of the sale of the Grumman F-14 to China.
It may be that the US is a hawk, or it may be that Lockheed Boeing is pulling back.
Anyway, if the U.S. government allows the F-15 Eagle to be sold to China, it is estimated that Grumman will not just be in the photo of the Su-27 fighter next to him, and he may not know how it came out.
If the Chinese side picks everything out in front of the Americans, it may be falling into the trap of the other side.
Grumman, who fouled first, was kicked out, and the entire F-14 introduction negotiations failed, perhaps because of a one-sentence matter.
Since it was not leaked by the Soviet Union itself, then when the KGB used this information, it can be understood that it has a rough style of not caring about secrecy.
After all, the eyes of the Soviets were still on that picture.
With the photos, it was possible for the KGB to find out who was the inner ghost.
And Hu Wenhai is the one who has come into contact with that photo, and there are still a lot of interests in his hands that have been influenced by Yulia, which is a link that can be broken through.
As for the possibility that he may report to the Chinese delegation, this can only mean that the internal ghost who leaked the secrets is not on the Chinese side, but can create a communication barrier for the two sides of the negotiation -- the Chinese side knows that there is an internal ghost on the other side, and it will definitely not be able to reach any secret agreement with the Americans.
Lin Qianjun and Zhang Tianqiao nodded silently, agreeing with his guess for the time being.
However, there are still some doubts about the use he said.
"You said to use, how to use this?"
"Use the pressure of the Soviets to push the Americans to make concessions. β
Hu Wenhai said seriously: "If someone can influence the judgment of the US government and think that China may lead to a change in its attitude toward the Soviet Union because of economic needs and military reform......
"It's risky in diplomacy, and Americans might believe it. β
What Lin Qianjun didn't say was that Hu Wenhai's speculation was not a guess, but a possible move at the top at present.
"But the deployment of the F-14 could lead to an escalation of military deployments in the Far East, which would be a burden on the Soviet economy. Drag down the Soviets with Chinese money, and the Americans will not disagree. β
Hu Wenhai smiled lightly: "There is no reason in this world to let the horses run and not eat grass. If the Americans don't sell the F-14, then we will have to make peace with the Soviets. β
"This plan ......"
Lin Qianjun was really a little moved, and he nodded silently: "I can report to the top, but I'm afraid it won't have much effect." For China, the biggest problem is price. Hey, the F-14 is too expensive, I can't afford to buy it and I can't afford it!"
Hu Wenhai was confident, sat up straight, raised his waist and said: "It's not impossible to pay the price, if Director Lin can arrange for me to talk to the top management of Grumman, maybe I can persuade Grumman to accept RMB?"
"Accept RMB?"
Lin Qianjun and Zhang Tianqiao were stunned when they heard this, and shook their heads in unison and said: "This is impossible, the Americans' heads are squeezed by the door, and they will accept RMB!"
"Don't care how I convince them, anyway, as long as you can buy an F-14 with RMB, does Director Lin think the price is still a problem?"
Lin Qianjun swallowed his saliva fiercely.
"If it's RMB......"
"Yes, if you can pay the bill in RMB. β
Zhang Tianqiao was also a little excited, clenched his fists and waved his hand fiercely.
"Then we can also talk about buying F-14s!"
