Chapter 567: Partnering with the Pit Man
"The rest of the people are almost all diehards, and it's hard to change their attitudes now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
After sorting out the remaining officers on the photo wall, Xia Boyang formed a document that was not too thick: "There are a total of seven staff officers of the Foreign Military Cooperation Bureau, and it is obvious that the Soviet army is not so rotten that it cannot be cleaned up." ”
"It's okay, our goal is to make it rotten beyond clean. ”
Hu Wenhai took Xia Boyang's documents, and it was obvious that the plan had entered the stage of tackling tough problems.
"So what are you going to do next? Do you want to increase your efforts to tackle these people?" Xia Boyang asked.
"No, let them go, let's change our strategy. Hu Wenhai looked at the documents in his hand and said lightly: "Do you know what is the most painful for this kind of person who stands on the role of justice?"
Xia Boyang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and asked, "What is it?"
"I was betrayed by those I guarded!"
Hu Wenhai's eyes were cold in sadness.
......
"Who are you?"
In Moscow, the Mentiev Machine-Building Plant is the main manufacturer of MiG-29 fighters. His managing director, Alexei Federov, has had a hard time in recent days.
The Ministry of Aviation Industry recently held an administrative meeting, which Comrade Alexei, of course, attended. Rumors of China's intention to introduce fighter jets from the Soviet Union have long been heard throughout the Soviet aviation industry and the top echelons of the Air Force.
Comrade Alexei, as the eye of this storm, could not sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.
At the beginning, Comrade Alexei could be described as confident. In the midst of a mournful aviation and military industrial system, if he can win China's order, then Mikoyan will really give him a ten-ton medal.
In fact, just as he expected, the Soviet Union strongly recommended the MiG series fighters to the Chinese side. In Alexey's opinion, this choice is quite reasonable, the sky of China is the sky of the MiG, and all their aircraft since the fifties have been based on the MiG.
Whether it is driving habits or maintenance and logistics systems, it is clear that the MiG understands China better!
But the damned Yevgeny appeared at this time!
At the Soviet Union's exhibition to the Chinese side, he blatantly violated the Politburo's decision and introduced the Su-27 fighter to the Chinese side!
It's a disaster.
The Chinese are like a young man who has never seen a girl at the age of eighteen, how can he fall in love with the Su-27 at first sight?
The Chinese, with surprisingly strong will, demanded that the Soviet Union sell Su-27 fighters to China.
For a while, Alexei had to sleep with one eye open, beware of someone breaking into his office to tell him that the Chinese had gotten the Su-27 fighter jet as they wished.
But-
Long live the Politburo of the Soviet Union! Long live the Bureau of Foreign Military Cooperation! Long live the great Minister of Defense Yazov!
They withstood the pressure from the Chinese side and did not relent, agreeing to Chinese's demands.
I didn't expect things to turn around, if the Chinese side can reconsider the introduction of the MiG-29, then the Mikoyan company can come back to life!
However, it didn't take long for him to be happy, and then another news circulated at the negotiating table, and the Chinese side, at the insistence of the Soviet Union, was likely to stop the negotiations!
As a result, although Sukhoi did not get an order either, Mikoyan was also unable to eat meat. If everyone goes hungry together, it won't make people happy.
Thinking about it this way, it's really a bit of a dilemma. I don't know whether to pray that Sukhoi won't get the order, or that the negotiations will continue.
So when a Chinese came to the Mentiev Machine-Building Plant and asked to meet Alexei, his heart was actually very entangled, and he didn't know what kind of attitude to use to meet them.
"Hello General Manager Alexey, let me introduce myself, I am Hu Wenhai. ”
The name Hu Wenhai is not unfamiliar to Alexei at all. In the course of the Sino-Soviet negotiations, he no longer knew how many times he had heard the name of the richest man in the world.
"Hello, comrade from China, I have heard your name. Well, that's impressive. ”
Alexei invited Hu Wenhai to the sofa, and then poured himself a cup of coffee and brought it over.
Hu Wenhai took the coffee, smiled and said: "General Manager Alexei seems to attach great importance to the negotiations between China and the Soviet Union on the introduction of fighter jets, otherwise it is unlikely that he will be impressed by me." ”
Alexey shrugged his shoulders: "The name of the richest man in the world, I think someone will know it everywhere." ”
"Since General Manager Alexey also knows my name, I think we'd better just do it, you see?"
"Well, what do you want to say?" Alexei sat up straight and looked at Hu Wenhai seriously.
Hu Wenhai put down the coffee in his hand and said happily: "I would like to ask Mikoyan to give up the idea of selling the MiG-29 to China, at least not to oppose the introduction of the Su-27 in China." ”
"I'm a businessman, so I don't go around in circles. To put it simply, China will never accept the introduction of the MiG-29, because it cannot meet the defense needs of the Chinese Air Force. If the USSR resolutely refrained from selling the Su-27, then this negotiation would have broken down. ”
Alexei was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Even if we don't object, it's useless, the Politburo has its own considerations." What's more, since the Chinese Air Force will not introduce the MiG-29, no matter how we express our attitude, the final result will be a failure. ”
"No, if Mikoyan is silent, I can guarantee that you won't get nothing. ”
Hu Wenhai swore by it, but Alexei didn't understand what Mikoyan would gain by giving up this business. Is it difficult for Sukhoi to support Mikoyan with kindness after receiving the order?
No kidding.
"What do you mean?" Alexei straightened up in shock, and looked at Hu Wenhai with blazing eyes.
"Let's put it this way, there is not only China in the world that needs third-generation aircraft, right? General Manager Alexey. Hu Wenhai spread his hands and said step by step: "In addition to China, there is another country that has a large demand for third-generation aircraft. Well, or it can't be said that the country is not in great demand for third-generation aircraft right now. But if China has a third-generation fighter with advanced performance, it will seriously stimulate the country's pursuit of third-generation aircraft. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm an engineer and don't know much about international relations. Alexei looked confused and innocently watched Hu Wenhai's performance.
Okay -
Hu Wenhai rolled his eyes in his heart, this general manager is really an upright boy, can't you cooperate with me to pretend to be a b......
"It's India. ”
Hu Wenhai sighed in frustration and opened the riddle: "China supports Pakistan and has always been an imaginary enemy of India, so India has been tracking China's military equipment very closely. ”
"If China can get a certain number of third-generation aircraft, or deploy them in the southwest, or it can provide some assistance to Pakistan. Then India will feel a strong threat and will look for equipment that can confront China and Pakistan. ”
"Unlike China, the Indians are well suited to equipping the MiG-29. Although the number of airports in India is quite large, the quality is relatively poor, which is very suitable for the positioning of the MiG-29. The MiG-29's low maintenance cost and low cost, as well as its defensive characteristics, are also in line with the actual situation and strategic positioning of India's air force. ”
"As long as Mikoyan no longer opposes China's introduction of Su-27, then China can cooperate with the Soviet Union to stimulate India's desire to buy at the right time......"
After Hu Wenhai's words were finished, Alexei was already dumbfounded. As an engineer who was born under the red flag, grew up in the Soviet, and listened to the great unity of the world proletariat on weekdays, he never thought that business could do this!
It doesn't matter if there is no demand, you can still create demand!
Hu Wenhai is not a person at this moment, he is not alone! He has inherited the glorious traditions of Lockheed, Northrop, Boeing and Thor, General Dynamics, and Grumman! The great presidents of the United States, Reagan and Bush, Clinton and Nixon, and the legendary arms dealer Yuri possessed by the soul!
At the end of the day, selling arms to escalate the conflict between the two sides of the war is a trick played by American arms dealers.
As an old adversary of the United States, the Soviets are still very familiar with this method of the Americans. It's just that most of the people who are familiar with these methods are staying in the KGB, and Comrade Alexei, a very good engineer who is protected by the Soviet system, cannot imagine how dark and dirty the world is.
"General Manager Alexey, I hope that Mikoyan will think carefully. Either the chickens and eggs will be fought on the issue of China's introduction of fighter jets, or everyone can cooperate to pit the Indians. Even if China imports Su-27 fighters, at least doesn't the Soviet Union get the money? If everyone has to break up and no one will benefit, what is the significance to the Mikoyan Company?"
"You ......"
Alexei said with some hesitation: "What you say is true? Can you guarantee that you can influence China's policy? Even if what you say is good, it will be useless if you can't fulfill it when the time comes, right?"
Hu Wenhai smiled proudly: "General Manager Alexey, if you think that I can't influence the policy, you can consult the KGB." If I don't have these connections in China, why would I get involved in this kind of thing? Is that any good for me?"
"I'm a businessman, and of course businessmen have benefits to be motivated. It is because I am able to exert this level of influence that I am able to make a profit in these actions. What is the relationship between the Chinese Air Force and me, there must be knowledgeable people in Mikoyan's company, you go and ask them for advice!"
