162 Stunned Iraqis
"This is Colonel Ibrahim from the Ministry of Defense and Industry of Iraq, and this is Lieutenant Colonel Harry Mosan......" Li Mingshan pointed to the Iraqis and introduced them to the people at Base 404.
The level of contact between the two sides is not low, and the Pakistanis did not participate in it, nor did Luo Zhiyu and others.
When Li Mingshan introduced Xie Kai, Ibrahim and the others were very interested in Xie Kai and looked at the latter with a smile.
"Xie Kai, 404 ......" Li Mingshan just pointed at Xie Kai, but he didn't know how to introduce Xie Kai's identity.
"A student at the school. "Senior Advisor, 404 Development Committee. ”
Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng said in unison, and then they both glared at each other with dissatisfied eyes.
When they heard Xie Kai say that he was a student, Ibrahim, Harry Moissan, and others all looked weird, and Zheng Yucheng said that he was the development consultant of 404, which made them even more surprised for a while.
Li Mingshan glared at the two of them, and then opened his mouth to get to the point, "Comrade Xie Kai is still in school due to his age; in view of his ability, he also serves as a development consultant in the base, and he has put forward very constructive ideas for many projects in this unit. ”
In order to increase the weight of Xie Kai, Li Mingshan introduced ambiguously.
"The tank project we visited this morning is an assembly plan proposed by him, which effectively integrates the research results of our base over the years. He personally presided over the test-fired missile...... "Zheng Yucheng was extremely dissatisfied with Li Mingshan's introduction.
A person like Xie Kai, he can't wait to give up his position as director.
The higher the status, the more advantageous it is in such negotiations.
"I see?" Harry Moisan asked with a strange face, "We are curious how Advisor Xie managed to make achievements in the fields of armored vehicles and missiles, and even materials......
Clearly, the Iraqis were suspicious of Shekai's identity.
Perhaps, curious about his age.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with our cooperation, right?" Zheng Yucheng unceremoniously interrupted Harry Mosan.
How do you explain this?
He wanted an explanation.
"Yes, we want to learn more about the projects we are interested in. Mr. Xie Kai is too young for us, whether it is a tank or a missile, this is the top technical equipment in the world. Get to know him and we can determine how feasible your technology is. Ibrahim said calmly.
His face was calm, his words were not abnormal, but the meaning was obvious - not telling him the specific situation would affect the cooperation between the two parties.
Their rhetoric is not wrong.
Even a person who has been working on technical projects for decades can hardly make achievements in multiple fields at the same time. What's more, Xie Kai is so young.
Don't let the Chinese side cheat them then.
Zheng Yucheng looked at Ibrahim, then turned his head to look at Xie Kai, not knowing how to explain.
Li Mingshan also didn't know how to explain, Zheng Yucheng was full of few words of truth, and never told him the details about Xie Kai and what projects Xie Kai was involved in.
It seems that the entire project that the 404 base is engaged in now has the shadow of this kid, how can he explain this?
Eventually, Xie Kai stood up with a wry smile.
"Guys, you should be more concerned with the technical performance of our products than on how I get involved in these projects. Xie Kai stood up and opened his mouth to speak fluent Russian.
This surprised everyone in the entire conference room, in the morning, Xie Kai still spoke fluent English.
"You know Russian?" Ibrahim asked, surprised.
Xie Kai nodded: "Since I was a child, when I was fine, I learned foreign languages, my father once studied in Moscow, and then went to East Berlin for two years......"
"I don't think your concerns are at all necessary. A technological innovation lies in ideas. If you talk about specific technology, I can't even compare with any technician in our base, they are far better than me, I don't know how much......" Xie Kai's words are really not modest.
What he said was the truth, many of the 404 technicians were the best in the country.
Hearing him say these words, no one else spoke, waiting for him to continue.
"My role, like the tank you see, is to come up with a lot of ideas that are completely unrealizable, and let our technicians demonstrate them. If the argument is feasible, we will invest in this project to study......" Xie Kai's words are not wrong. "It's not like I'm doing this alone in our base, there's a lot more. ”
His explanation is reasonable, but only Zheng Yucheng, who knows the inside story, thinks that this kid's words are too nonsense.
"Integrating resources, integrating technology, this is also what the people of the base management committee are doing. All I'm proposing is an idea that I don't know if it's feasible, a childlike idea. Xie Kai felt a little cold in his heart, he was mentally over forty years old, and he had to pretend to be stunned in order to fool the Iraqi fat sheep.
Age is a hard injury, even if he is thirty years old, the other party will not be so suspicious.
The avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles performed brilliantly, and they were not deliberately arranged in this way, but the result became their arrangement, and the target aircraft issued commands for remote control through ground remote control, and even the real target shooting process became controllable.
The Iraqis doubted the authenticity of the missile's performance.
Zheng Yucheng's bragging words made them suspect that the missiles were deliberately arranged, not so realistic.
"Originally, I just put forward some opinions for each project, and I didn't think about whether it could be realized, who knew that our technical personnel were so strong, and many ideas made them combine existing technology and turn it into an equipment project...... "Xie Kai shamelessly praised the technical strength of the base.
"In other words, including the tank project, didn't you start working on it at your base many years ago?" asked Harry Moissan, who asked a very tricky question.
Zheng Yucheng stood up suddenly, and said to Harry Moisan with dissatisfaction, "How is it possible? If it wasn't for a long period of research and accumulation, we would have been able to reach the heights we have now?"
The Iraqis did not pay attention to Zheng Yucheng and continued to stare at Xie Kai.
They needed Xie Kai's answer.
Xie Kai gave them a reasonable answer, which determined that they were interested in cooperating with Base 404.
"Director Zheng is right, our base has been conducting research all along. Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng's eagerness, and secretly scolded this shameless old guy in his heart, he didn't brag before, where would such a situation occur......?"
When Xie Kai said this, everyone understood.
Before the base, each team researched independently, they studied their own field, there was no goal, only for the sake of more advanced technology, for the sake of progress.
Whether it is research funding or research progress, it is naturally much slower.
"Naturally, we had their research, so when I came up with the idea, we had the technical backing. A military equipment project has a very large effect on the situation of the entire scientific research system, after all, any weapons and equipment requires a number of fields and even the entire industrial system to support ......" Xie Kai racked his brains in order to fool the Iraqis.
Everybody knows these things.
But not many people combine the facts.
The Iraqis were going to attack his age and identity first, and Xie Kai naturally wouldn't let them succeed. said a bunch of words, so that they were in a fog, in fact, there was no truth, the only one was to tell the other party that our technical strength is very strong.
Strong enough to support my wild ideas.
"Many countries rely on some huge projects to promote the progress of the entire national industrial system. The more advanced the technology, the stronger the technical foundation required. You should be clear about this. Our national defense strategy has changed, but many key projects are still developing...... Our base is not a professional tank research unit, so we have invested our own funds to study it slowly before......" Xie Kai's words were a little messy, he did it on purpose.
Since the other party said that he was a child, then let them be even more confused.
"It doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about, does it?" Ibrahim also felt that Xie Kai was right, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with what they wanted to know, "Let's talk about your role in these projects." ”
"Mr. Colonel, I have made it very clear. It's integration. In the past, I understood the technical foundation of the base and conceived some advanced and powerful weapons and equipment, and handed them over to our technical team for demonstration, and when they demonstrated, they would consider whether our existing technology was suitable...... If there is no technology, we will consider whether it can be achieved on the existing basis, if not, we will modify the project plan, and if so, we will tackle this technology to ensure that the results can meet the needs of the project......"
"Just like the chief designer of a large-scale project, the general design needs to be co-ordinated and integrated technology, who can fully understand all the technologies?"
Xie Kai's words, although they made it clear what he was doing, still did not explain the doubts in the hearts of the Iraqis.
"What about your missile program?" Ibrahim asked.
"When we conceived our tanks, we thought that the defense of the tanks would not be a big problem against armored clusters, and they would not be able to deal with air attacks. There are only heavy machine guns, which do not pose much of a threat to aircraft in the sky. Xie Kai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was finally ready to get to the point.
I didn't say it in vain.
Bragging is also a skill.
It takes talent to fool people.
"We don't believe that the performance of your anti-aircraft missiles is really like this, all this can be arranged. Convince us that you will get a good order. Ibrahim said earnestly to Xie Kai.
