Chapter 285: The Wine Bureau

Korolev paid no too much attention to the slightly courteous foreign escort, who on the surface looked like a 100% cowardly and incompetent bureaucrat. But how can the smell of peers exuded in their bones be concealed from the senior agents of the KGB? After all, the Chinese comrades still have little international experience, and their basic skills need to be strengthened!

However, the train came all the way, and the scenery outside the window firmly attracted Korolev's attention.

Although China's construction is still far from the great Soviet Union, the scenery of Northeast China and Hebei is indeed a bit of an industrial country.

Although China has deviated from communism and socialism on the road, it has still made a lot of achievements in construction.

Korolev's train departed from Mosko, crossed the route of the Trans-Siberian Land Bridge to Vladivostok, and then entered China from the Sui-Fen crossing. Along the way, it passed through the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Bohai, and finally arrived at the political, economic and cultural center of China, the imperial capital.

Korolev was not the first Soviet to come here after the severance of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union, in fact, although the exchanges between China and the Soviet Union became less during the special period, a certain amount of information flow was still maintained.

TASS reporters are rare in China, that is, the level of giant pandas, far less serious than extinction.

"Comrade Korolev, we should pack our bags, the train will arrive soon. Sun Zhongshi glanced at the watch on his wrist and reminded cautiously.

Sun Zhongshi, the "Foreign Affairs Office" who accompanied Korolev, was a polite and cautious southern man, meticulous in his suit and shirt, and his every move was calm and measured. With the smile of a loved one on his face, but not so flattering and well-behaved. But it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

However, his polite and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant style is a dumb and flattering eye to the blind, and the bear-like Soviet people, where can they realize the difference between cowardice and reserve?

Sun Zhongshi took the initiative to help Korolev take the salute off the luggage rack, then went to the door of the additional train to pick up the white gauze curtain on the door, and vigilantly glanced at the opposite carriage. It was confirmed that there were no suspicious people in the vicinity of the carriage. At this moment, the train suddenly made a clanging sound, his feet shook slightly, and the train began to slow down as it entered the station.

In view of the special state of affairs between China and the Soviet Union, although there was a lot of space in the entire carriage, there were only two of them.

Korolev was carrying a suitcase in his hand, and there was even a pair of handcuffs on his wrist.

It wasn't until the train came to a complete stop that he got up from his seat. He walked towards the exit of the carriage without hurrying.

There were three cars parked on the huge railway platform, two Poussin, and one Crown. Although the train had stopped, the windows of the carriages were all covered with white screens, and the railway staff did not open the doors of the carriages. On the train platform, which was not quiet for a moment in the past, at this time there was a rare smell of fallen leaves.

The manual sliding door opened, and Sun Zhongshi was the first to step down from the carriage first. He looked left and right, and the tail of the platform was sealed. Not far from him. A group of soldiers in white naval cadre uniforms and green military uniforms with no logos, as well as two men in simple suits, one old and one young, were walking towards him.

"Comrade Sun Zhongshi, right? My surname is Chi. How's the guest doing?"

Secretary Chi took the lead, took out his work card and gave it to Sun Zhongshi to carefully check, and then looked behind him with some eagerness.

"Hello Secretary Chi, the guest was in a good condition and arrived all the way smoothly. ”

"Okay, Comrade Sun has worked hard. Secretary Chi patted him on the shoulder. Led the person to the door of the carriage.

The exit of the carriage specially designed for the Chinese did not seem very friendly to the Soviets, at least Korolev walked off the train with a little helplessness. However, it is understandable to consider that he has a suitcase in his hand that cannot be changed at will.

"Comrade Korolev, welcome to China. Secretary Chi smiled as if he had seen a turtle frozen in ice.

……

The navy has an unlisted guest house near Yuyuan, Tan, and Park, which is said to be a guest house. In fact, it is a closed yard, in which there are eating, drinking, pulling, sleeping, clothing, food, housing and transportation, so that people can wait for leisure and do not have to go out.

Two convoys of Poussin with a crown in the middle drove into this courtyard, and the iron gate at the gate was tightened.

It is still unclear what the attitude of Korolev's top brass of the Soviet KGB was during his trip, and the Chinese side does not know how much dry goods he has in his hands. What's more, China is currently on the side of the United States, acting as an MT in Asia to attract Soviet firepower, and the two sides are in private contact with this kind of thing, after all, it is better to keep it secret.

Korolev got out of the crown car and suddenly muttered a word of Russian. Before Sun Zhongshiren got down from the co-pilot's seat, he hurriedly translated.

"Comrade Korolev asked, who is Hu Wenhai?"

The people who got out of the car were slightly stunned, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at the old man and the young man in civilian clothes, and their eyes were all focused on the young man.

Although Korolev didn't know Chinese, he knew who he was looking for by his attitude.

He walked over with a suitcase in handcuffs, and someone quickly stopped Hu Wenhai and him in the middle.

"Hu Wenhai?"

Korolev, with the rhythm peculiar to Russian, pronounced a vague pronunciation of his name.

β€œyes。 ”

Hu Wenhai simply replied in English, saving both sides the trouble of translation.

Korolev's eyes were fixed on him, and his face was expressionless. He suddenly raised his feet and walked towards Hu Wenhai, and the guard in the middle wanted to stop him, but he was directly "smashed" by his big man with the suitcase in his hand.

The two guards were about to use the "means", but Hu Wenhai hurriedly called them out.

"Let him come. He spread his legs and swallowed slightly, making himself seem fearless.

Hu Wenhai's height is about 178, while Korolev is a typical Russian physique, and his height must be at least 185 or more.

When Korolev condescendingly looked down at Hu Wenhai, it was as if a bear was looking at its prey......

The two sides looked at each other for at least a minute, or longer?

Hu Wenhai's gaze was calm. It's like I didn't feel any pressure at all.

β€œBrotherinlaw!”

Just when everyone around him thought that Korolev was going to do something wrong, he suddenly laughed, and then gave Hu Wenhai a big hug.

Brother in law, Korolev's English also smells of hair, but it is no problem to understand.

Korolev hugged Hu Wenhai's shoulder with one hand and gave a thumbs up with the other. In English, he said excitedly and kindly: "Yulia asked me to bring you greetings, she is very good, and she is now in Ukraine." ”

"Oh, is she recovering well?"

Hu Wenhai secretly let go of the fist in his hand, and also smiled: "Last time I left the United States too suddenly, I was really worried about their mother and son. ”

"Don't worry, the women of our Jovovich family are the strongest!" Korolev patted his chest, as if he was very satisfied with Hu Wenhai's brother-in-law, and promoted the women of the Jovovich family hard.

Speaking of which, is it really true that the women of the Jovovich family are particularly genetically good?

Hu Wenhai thinks of the famous female star of the future, Milla Jovovich. Maybe he was born with a +5 constitution, right?

Well, in that case, wouldn't I have the possibility of following in the footsteps of Prince Balcony Eagle in the future?

Thinking of this kind of future, Hu Wenhai shuddered, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

In any case, the atmosphere of the scene was full of life after Korolev's brother-in-law. The originally nervous crowd also smiled with relief.

Secretary Chi was still in a corner that Korolev could not see. Stretched out the thumbs of both hands and gave Hu Wenhai a thumbs up.

Hu Wenhai really wanted to tell him. I guess you should have lit a candle for me......

With a joyful atmosphere, everyone entered the door of the guest house lively. Inside the door of the guest house is a large hall with terrazzo floors and Mao-style decoration, and it is said that this house was specially designed and built to welcome the Soviet aid expert group, and sure enough, it won Korolev's praise immediately.

Soon, though, his attention was lost to the decoration of the room. Instead, I was completely drawn to a long table in the middle of the living room.

A table full of meat + wine.

Oh, the Chinese comrades are so sweet.

Korolev laughed, it was clear that although China and the Soviet Union had not been in contact with each other for decades, they still had not forgotten what the Soviets loved most.

"Comrade Korolev has had a hard journey, get out of the car to have a good meal. This is called catching the wind and washing the dust in China. ”

β€œOK,OK!”

Korolev couldn't stop saying yes and sat down at the table. The entourage sat down one after another, and Hu Wenhai was dragged next to him by Korolev.

"Come, brother, to our common Slavic woman!"

Before anyone else could say anything, Korolev directly "snapped" a wine glass in front of Hu Wenhai, and then picked up the Moutai next to him and filled the glass.

Hu Wenhai picked up the wine with a smile and touched Korolev. Just as Korolev was about to take a sip, he put the glass back on the table.

"Since Comrade Korolev calls me brother, then we can't drink this wine casually. The old god Hu Wenhai was there, and he covered the mouth of the wine glass with his hand.

Korolev was stunned for a moment, not knowing why: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Hu Wenhai raised his eyebrows: "I don't know how old you are Comrade Korolev, are you married, do you have any children?"

"Oh, my wife is also very beautiful, she is a college teacher! ”

Hehe, Aunt Mao who gave birth to a child around the age of forty......

"That's right, since you call me brother, then you can't see your brother miss his daughter but can't see each other? ”

"Hey, this is easy!" Korolev breathed a sigh of relief and said with a big bag: "When do you want to see Yulia and Natalia, I will help you go through the formalities of going to the Soviet Union!"

Speaking of this, he also blinked his eyes and smiled in a tone that all men understand: "How about I promise to send you to Yulia's bed?"

"Ahem, this won't work!"

It was the secretary of the pool who sat in the main seat who spoke. He said with a righteous face and a rare solemnity: "Comrade Hu Wenhai is restricted from leaving the country in China, and it is impossible for him to be allowed to go to the Soviet Union before the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations. ”

"Otherwise, I have a beach in northern China, on a particularly beautiful beach. Hu Wenhai bragged. Dafang said: "There is a very luxurious villa on the beach, please send Yulia and Natalia to China, I will treat them well and let them live a happy life!"

"No, no, Yulia is the princess of the Jovovich family, and Natalia is so loved by my father and mother that they can't go anywhere but the Soviet Union. Since you are a father, you should know how cruel it is to leave your children away from their parents!"

"It doesn't matter, my father-in-law and mother-in-law can come to China together. I have money and power in China, and I am quite rich and powerful!" Hu Wenhai boasted to himself: "Brother Korolev, you have also seen that this Secretary Chi is the secretary of the Chinese Navy Marshal, and he is a good friend of me! Secretary Chi, what do you say?"

Under Hu Wenhai's gaze, Secretary Chi immediately nodded: "That's right, Comrade Hu Wenhai has a very high status in China. We, the Chinese army, navy, and air force, all admire and rely on him very much! His family has billions of dollars in assets, and there is nothing that power cannot be done in China! If the Jovovich couple are willing to come to China. I promise to receive them to the highest specification!"

"The highest standard?" Korolev pouted and said distrustfully: "My father is a powerful figure in the KGB in Ukraine, and my mother has a wide reputation in the Ukrainian scientific research system! We have a lot of connections in Odessa, in Nikolaev, and in Crimea. With all due respect, my parents will come to China unless they are personally invited by your leaders!"

Secretary Chi couldn't help but be unintimidated when he heard this. Instead, his eyes lit up and he excitedly said, "Oh, as long as our leaders and people come forward in person, will the Jovovich and his wife come to China?"

Hu Wenhai checked his past achievements in his heart, to be honest, if he could convert points and cash in. It's really not impossible to exchange for a vice-national treatment. As for the vice-national level, it is the level of deputy general manager and member of the state affairs committee, and fake leave can barely be regarded as a national leader......

Korolev was frightened by Secretary Chi's attitude, although it seemed impossible to think that the Chinese state leader, director and person level would come forward, but he was inexplicably weak.

"It's just a possibility, after all, it's very troublesome for my parents to go abroad. ”

"Korolev Davarich, you don't look like a brave Soviet!"

Hu Wenhai took the initiative to hold up his wine glass at this time: "Why can't you send my wife and children to China like a Soviet drinker?"

Hearing this, Korolev's eyes suddenly rolled, he slapped the table, and also picked up his wine glass: "Who said that I can't deal with problems like a Soviet drinker? Let me tell you how we Soviets solve problems! We use wine to solve problems, as long as drinking wins me, of course anything can be said!"

Korolev has typical Slavic genes, and can be said to have grown up in vodka jars since he was a child. Drinking alcohol is like drinking water to him, and he has never lost drinking since he was a child.

"Oh, as long as you can beat you by drinking, what's the matter?"

"Yes, that's all right!" Korolev patted his chest and nodded his head.

"Oh, then let's drink and solve the problem!" Hu Wenhai also slapped the table and said naturally: "Korolev, my brother, you say, are you drinking a group of us alone, or are we a group of people beating you alone?"

"Oh, what? Do Chinese drink like this? You guys are so insincere!" Korolev was startled, even if he could drink, he couldn't stand the dozen people sitting at this table!

"When the two armies clash, can you say that the strength of the two sides is unequal on the battlefield, and they simply don't even dare to go to the battlefield?" Hu Wenhai raised his eyebrows and was bitter: "Korolev Davarich! You are disgraced by the Soviet Red Army! Are you worthy of the Red Army that blocked the Germans at Stalingrad? Are you worthy of the Soviet heroes who insisted on fighting in the Brest Fortress? You are so disappointing!"

For some reason, Korolev looked at Hu Wenhai's excited appearance, and felt that what he said was so reasonable, as if he had really become a coward who did not dare to go to the battlefield.

"No, the Soviet Red Army also chose to retreat!" He seemed to defend himself with some weakness: "Strategic retreat, I want to choose a strategic retreat on an unequal battlefield! Unless you provide me with a fair opportunity!"

Hu Wenhai seemed a little discouraged. Gritting his teeth for a long time, he reluctantly nodded: "Okay then, as long as you can drink over one of the people at our table, then you will win!"

"Oh, good!" Korolev rejoiced: "I want to show you how good Slavic men are!"

"Needless to say, I'll have someone to drink with you. Drink him, you can do whatever you want!" Hu Wenhai looked around the dining table and found a thin person who looked like a bamboo pole: "Staff Officer Lin, it's up to you next, the motherland needs your stomach." ”

"Resolutely complete the task!"

Staff Officer Lin, who looked like a thin bamboo pole, was not good-looking, and Korolev couldn't help laughing when he saw that his opponent turned out to be such a person. Judging by his experience, the more people who can drink, the stronger they must be. How can such a person who seems to be blown down by the wind have a lot of alcohol? The Chinese really can't afford it. Hahahaha!

……

"Staff Officer Lin, you've worked hard!"

Secretary Chi and Hu Wenhai both stepped forward to shake hands and send their respects, and everyone present looked at Staff Officer Lin, who was slightly thin, with admiration.

"Where, it's not hard at all, it's my honor to help the chiefs!" Staff Officer Lin smiled and said embarrassedly: "The doctor said that I have any substances secreted in my body, and it doesn't matter to me how much alcohol I drink." It's a small thing that doesn't really mean much. ”

"No, no!" Hu Wenhai laughed: "Staff Officer Lin has helped me a lot, and now it can be regarded as beating Maozi's arrogance!"

The two sides were talking. Suddenly, there was a deafening snoring in the living room.

Everyone's eyes followed the sound, and Korolev, who was lying on the table, was already drunk and unconscious at the moment.

Seeing him like this, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the living room.

"Staff Officer Lin, a little thanks, not a respect. Hu Wenhai took out an envelope from his body and quietly stuffed it into Staff Officer Lin's hand. And the others in the living room. They pretended they didn't see anything.

Staff Officer Lin understood and knew that it was time for him to leave. He gave a military salute, said goodbye to Secretary Chi, and turned around and left without any delay.

"Someone!"

Secretary Chi glanced at Hu Wenhai with a smile and didn't say anything. The orderly outside the door was called.

"Help the guest to the guest room and treat him to rest. ”

"Yes!"

The orderly almost "carried" Korolev, who was already drunk and unconscious, out, but even so, the leather case he was holding in his hand was still firmly grasped by him.

Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi watched Korolev leave, and then sat back at the table where he had barely touched his chopsticks.

"Alright, remove the wine, let's eat first!"

The waiter walked in and removed all the wine, then put a bowl of dry rice and a cup of tea on the table for each person, and then the fish came out. During this period, whether it was walking or plating, there was no sound at all, and it was quiet as if it didn't exist at all.

Who said that in the 80s, the state-run units did not have a sense of service? Since the 90s, good service has been accompanied by plenty of money. Before the nineties, good service was associated with strong authority.

The group of people who serve the leaders is not necessarily worse than the Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.

Secretary Chi picked up the bowl, took a bite of food and took two mouthfuls of rice, and then looked up and said: "Comrade Xiaohu, in your opinion, how credible is what this Korolev said?"

Hu Wenhai smiled and shook his head: "Secretary Chi was wrong to ask me, if you hadn't told me that he was my eldest brother, I wouldn't even know if he was really my eldest brother." I may be okay with business analysis, but isn't it too difficult for me to analyze whether a KGB spy's words are true or false?"

"Hehe, it's just for you to talk about your feelings. ”

Secretary Chi was helpless, so he had to not expect anything to come out of Hu Wenhai, and turned his head to look at Sun Zhongshi who was sitting on the other side: "Old Sun, you are professional, tell me your opinion?"

"Then I'll tell youβ€”"

Sun Zhongshi also took the lead: "Korolev, he should have been pretending to be drunk just now!"

"Pretending to be drunk?"

"Yes, it's pretending to be drunk. ”

Sun Zhongshi nodded solemnly: "Korolev is a very good professional spy, when he is on a mission. It's absolutely impossible to get yourself drunk. This is an iron discipline in foreign affairs work, and it is not only our country that has such regulations, but all intelligence agencies demand this from their staff. Unless the KGB has degenerated into a third-rate organization, it is impossible for Korolev to get drunk as a brilliant spy. ”

Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi looked at each other when Sun Zhongshi said this, and they couldn't react a little: "But Korolev drank a lot of wine." Besides, it was true that he was asleep. ”

"Yes, he could have fallen asleep, but definitely not drunk. Sun Zhongshi nodded: "You can wake up at any time when you fall asleep, but you can't wake up when you're drunk." Korolev decided to sleep when he was not completely drunk after realizing that he could not win by drinking. This not only allows you to sleep controllably, but also helps you get rid of drunkenness quickly. ”

Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi both retracted their little pride. His face became serious. I have to say that KGB is KGB, and it really taught them a good lesson.

Korolev, not an easy character to deal with.

"So, it's unlikely that they want to send Natalia to China?" Hu Wenhai was a little discouraged.

"With all due respect, the Soviets are very aware of the importance of you, Mr. Hu, and it is impossible to send the only daughter who can control you to China. Although this does not allow you to act too out of line. But at least it's a bargaining chip. ”

Hu Wenhai's nose snorted, and the table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Even the famous dish Nine Turns of the Large Intestine seems to make him unable to raise his appetite.

Hu Naya is what Hu Wenhai is most worried about, and Maozi's method of raising children is really a little reassuring.

"If I can't take Natalia over, I can't go to the Soviet Union...... Hu Wenhai was a little worried: "Can you please think about it in the organization, and find someone to go to the Soviet Union for me to take a look." ”

"Comrade Xiaohu, don't worry. This requirement is still okay. As long as the Jovovich family can agree, the organization will find someone to take care of Natalia and report her situation to you regularly, this is no problem. ”

Hu Wenhai exhaled deeply and nodded slowly. But I can't see my daughter. After all, he was a little unwilling.

"Speaking of which, what did Secretary Chi think of my proposal last time?" asked Hu Wenhai with a wry smile.

Hu Wenhai is not only worried about his daughter Natalia, in fact, the pressure on him from this family is not small.

It seems that he can always create miracles to cause trouble, from his grandfather Hu Shiwu to Xiao Yeqin and Hu Jiefang, to Lu Jia's little point - I don't know who put it in her ear, Hu Wenhai really has the urge to hit his head against the wall.

Damn, when Lu Jia asked him, "Brother Hu, who is Natalia?", God knows that his heart is about to be scared out, and he feels like being caught by his wife after eating and giving birth to an illegitimate daughter!

The three members of the family all let out their words, and they couldn't see their granddaughter and great-granddaughter, so Hu Wenhai didn't want to have a good time this year.

Just for this matter, Hu Wenhai can't eat or sleep.

Secretary Chi seemed to think about it for a while, and then remembered, and suddenly nodded and said: "Comrade Xiaohu is talking about the 'trade' with the Soviet Union? ”

China and the Soviet Union have not yet established diplomatic relations, and what Secretary Chi said about Sino-Soviet trade is of course a matter of no shadow. It's just a nice saying, but it's actually an idea put forward by Hu Wenhai inspired by eiderdown for intelligence.

Later generations of Chinese who have a little knowledge of the history of the Soviet Union know that most of the reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union are due to the deformity of the Soviet economy. Heavy industry is developed, but light industry is relatively backward, and there is a shortage of consumer goods in society. Strange to say, in the 80s, a large number of China's state-owned enterprises were not well managed, but until 88 years ago, trade with the Soviet Union was never considered.

On the one hand, the process of normalization of Sino-Soviet relations was too slow, and the Soviet Union was about to disintegrate, and the two sides began to resume exchanges and trade. On the other hand, it was China that acted as an MT to attract hatred towards the Soviet Union at that time, after all, it hugged the thigh of the US imperialists, and it was not as popular as the third brother, so there was no good thing left and right.

However, official trade does not work, but that does not mean that "smuggling" cannot be engaged. The Navy can transport a boatload of eiderdown to the KGB in exchange for distant-water fishing materials, so why can't it transport more daily necessities over and exchange them for Soviet industrial products?

Trade with the Soviet Union can add blood to the Soviet Union, that is, bloodletting to the US imperialists in disguise. And the profits are staggering – and most importantly, the Jovovich family. Even if you can't bring Yulia and Natalia back, you can see both sides when the smuggling ship delivers the goods, right?

In order to see his daughter, Hu Wenhai also fought hard. But it's not that simple, and it seems that I need to do some more work in private.

Hu Wenhai was expressionless and didn't say much: "Okay, let's talk about this later." ”

But he changed the subject. Then he asked: "Secretary Chi, the advance payment and the first payment for Iraq's 7 billion project have already arrived, right? Don't you know what the navy has planned?"

Secretary Chi's chopsticks paused for a moment, and shook his head with a wry smile: "The army occupies more than half, and the air force occupies a small half." The navy can't even get the $500 million of the $2.5 billion paid by Iraq, so there is no project. ”

"That's a shame. Hu Wenhai was stunned, as if he had a lot of regret, and kept shaking his head: "Hey." It's a pity, in this way, you can't make money even if you have it. ”

"Huh?"

When Hu Wenhai said this, the temperature in the living room dropped by several degrees almost instantly.

Of course, it was not that he was frozen into a dog in the winter, but that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

If others say this, others will brag at most. But when Hu Wenhai said this, it was the feeling that real money was about to slip away.

You can make money. This is really a personal life.

Iraq's $7 billion project is why the Army has the lion's share and the Air Force has the minus. The Navy doesn't even count as a soup?

In addition to the reason why I am the big brother of the army, is it not because Hu Wenhai has built this system mainly with the army? As for the navy that played soy sauce all the way to get such a little money, it was still the style of the two eldest brothers and the second brother in front of them.

If Hu Wenhai repeats a 7 billion project for the Navy, then ......

Just think about it. Secretary Chi felt that he was about to be stunned.

If the navy has seven billion, how will it be spent? I'm sorry, Secretary Chi can't even think of it, and the navy can't spend it!

He swallowed his saliva, carefully pretended to be indifferent, and said, "Comrade Xiao Hu can tell me what he thinks." Even if there are any difficulties, can't we find a way to overcome them? Even if it really doesn't work, at least it should be a talking point. ”

"Oh, Secretary Chi is interested?"

"Also...... All right. Secretary Chi endured it and didn't suck it back.

"That's the case, I recently studied the current trend of replacing warships in the world. I think Secretary Chi should have heard about this news at the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Thailand, Myanmar, and many other third world countries in the world are currently facing the need to upgrade their naval vessels. Is there a mistake in my judgment?"

Secretary Chi is the secretary of the head of the navy, and of course he has read much about this news. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately nodded thoughtfully, but shook his head helplessly.

"It's true that the warships of third world countries are facing a generational change, but it doesn't mean much to us. The main ships of our country ......"

He shook his head and said with some regret: "Even if there is a great advantage in cost performance, the defects in performance are too obvious and the market competitiveness is insufficient." ”

Hu Wenhai nodded, this is exactly the case. In the case of Pakistan's old customer, Pakistan, which has such a good relationship, did not buy combat warships of the Chinese Navy in the eighties and nineties in terms of naval procurement.

In the eighties and nineties, when the navy and air force needed to be upgraded, they still gritted their teeth and squeezed out the silver to buy a large number of American and British goods.

Among them, the United States' Keeling-class destroyers and the British Admiral-class frigates and Leander-class frigates are well-known, and the Admiral-class frigates performed badly in the Anglo-Argentine War, and were beaten and sunk two in one go, and the British sold six ships to Pakistan in one breath after the war!

These six defeated generals alone don't know how many Jian-7s China sold to Pakistan.

You must know that naval warships have always been sold for "100 million".

In the 80s and 90s, at the same time, on the one hand, the state of defense changed, and on the other hand, the navies of major developed countries equipped regional air defense ships and Aegis destroyers, updated, upgraded, eliminated backward production capacity, and sold them to third world countries on a large scale, thus provoking regional military competitions.

In particular, the US military began to equip the Ticantroga and Arleigh Burke warships, which directly led to a large number of obsolescence of naval warships in developed countries. Most of these retired and eliminated former Aegis ships have gone to the third world to exert their residual heat.

It is precisely in this way that it has directly led to the upgrading of the entire naval equipment around the world.

However, even the eliminated former Aegis ships, China's current naval export warships, do not have much competitive advantage.

"So I think if we can launch a competitive warship that is more suitable for the equipment of third world countries, 500 million US dollars, which is one or two business, can make it back. The global market is not a problem to bring billions of dollars, right?"

Secretary Chi smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy, to develop a new type of warship, it is equivalent to at least a warship like the Virginia-class or the British Type 21 frigate......"

Hu Wenhai knew the reason for Secretary Chi's wry smile and the second half of the sentence that he didn't say - if there is such a warship, the Chinese Navy itself is a treasure, how can it be willing to sell it!

"No, actually, we have the ability. Hu Wenhai's words are categorical.

Secretary Chi and the people in the entire living room are all connected to the navy, and they still have at least professional qualities. Hearing Hu Wenhai's words, all of them had a "I'm stunned" expression.

"Don't believe me?"

Hu Wenhai laughed, folded his fingers and calculated: "The advantages of these mainstream warships in the international market have so many advantages compared with China's main warships-"

"First, the advantage of the command system, the automated command platform is the standard configuration of mainstream foreign trade warships in the West, but with all due respect, compared with the C3I system that my country is currently selling to Iraq, there is no qualitative change. ”

"Second, superiority in weapons, anti-aircraft interception weapons and assault weapons. Anti-ship missiles we have YJ-83, which is not necessarily much worse than Exocet. For ground attack we have cruise missiles under development, which are cheaper than in the West. As for the air defense interception weapon, please ask Secretary Chi to think about the Air Force's Panda localization project. ”

"What does the localization of pandas have to do with air defense?" Secretary Chi was a little confused.

"As an accessory for the F-14 procurement, the Air Force imported a considerable number of AIM54 Phoenix missiles. Secretary Chi should be more aware of the performance of this missile, right? If you add the booster stage, do you think its performance is up to the task of regional air defense?"

Secretary Chi's eyes widened, and his breathing suddenly became a little heavier!

The performance of the AIM54 missile flowed through his heart, with a maximum speed of Mach 4, a range of 184 kilometers, active guidance, and a high-explosive explosion, which is obviously a very suitable air defense interceptor missile.

In fact, many of the US Navy's ship-based interceptor missiles are modified from air-to-air missiles, such as the famous Sea Sparrow. As a matter of fact, the performance data of the AIM54 missile is similar to that of the US Navy's Area Defense Weapon Standard II! The installation of a booster stage to hit the AIM54 into the air and then enter the air-to-air interception mode with its own engine is hardly difficult for China's scientific research capabilities.

Of course, the biggest problem is the imitation of AIM54.

What a crazy idea!

But it's also a genius idea!

Secretary Chi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Hu Wenhai ignored him and continued: "Third, power advantage. In this regard, I can assure Secretary Chi that by 1990, the gas turbine modified by the Spey aero engine will be put into production, and with the IGCT technology in my hand, the practical integrated all-electric propulsion is already foreseeable. ”

Secretary Chi hadn't digested the idea of the sea phoenix yet, but he heard the "integrated all-electric propulsion", and the whole person fell into a state of petrification.

What is integrated all-electric propulsion? This Nima is the real Zenith technology, if China's warships use integrated all-electric propulsion, this cost advantage even the Americans have to kneel down and sing about conquering!

All-electric propulsion, for this alone, the Chinese Navy can make a lot of money by selling all-electric power hulls! )
