476 Poor and crazy Soviets sell MiG fighters to China

"There's nothing to discuss, I've been busy revising all day, and I'm about to take an exam. When Xie Kai heard this, he didn't want to talk to them.

The college entrance examination volunteer thing can't be done according to the idea of the base.

"Don't you have to fill in the volunteer college entrance examination? What university do you want to go to, let's help the staff officers. Wang Guilin was also worried about Xie Kai's volunteering.

I'm afraid that Xie Kai chose a university that has no connection with the base, and even the base is not strong, and at that time, it will be troublesome to get Xie Kai back when the school assigns jobs.

"Besides, I haven't thought about it yet. Xie Kai didn't want to talk about this, "It's been almost three months since my dad went to the Soviet Union, why is there no news at all?"

"Your parents are fine over there, and they're coming back soon. Let's talk about your volunteering, after all, it's about your future. Zheng Yucheng is very attentive. "For example, how to choose your first choice, whether to enter a military school or another university......

"Let's talk about that. Xie Kai hadn't thought about it, he didn't know what Mo Qi's intention was, and he was worried that Zheng Yucheng and these old guys would lay out in advance, and when the time came, he would pit himself.

Even if you have a clear goal, don't tell them.

"My dad's trip didn't take so long, why did he go for so long now? Could it be that something happened?" Xie Kai continued to shift the topic to his dad's trip to the Soviet Union.

The contract of intent for the engine has been signed a long time ago, and even if you have to plan something in the past, you won't not come back for so long.

If you are afraid that you will be detained by the Soviet Union, then it will be troublesome.

"Don't think too much, the contract for the engine has been signed, our down payment has been given, the Soviet Union is very active in this cooperation, the first batch of 10 engines has arrived in the northeast, and will be shipped to Rongcheng in the near future. According to the expectations of the 132 factory and the super seven engineering team, the prototype will be manufactured in August this year, and the first flight will be made on the National Day next year...... "Wang Guilin saw that Xie Kai was worried about his parents, and quickly explained.

"Shouldn't they have come back a long time ago?" Xie Kai frowned, his eyes looked at Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin tightly, "Something can't happen to them, right?"

"Not really, they're talking about another collaboration over there. ”

"What cooperation?" Xie Kai asked.

Zheng Yu didn't want to say it, and he knew that if he didn't say it, Xie Kai might not be able to figure out what a moth would come up with. "Some of the introduction projects of the military. ”

"Fighters. Wang Guilin added.

"Su-27?" Xie Kai sighed, the Air Force still didn't look down on Super Seven.

"No, MiG-29. I don't know the specific situation, because we have laid a good relationship with the engine introduction project, and the Air Force considers that the progress of the J-8II project is slow, and the Super 7 project is not suitable for the domestic Air Force, hoping to find an ......equipment suitable for the Air Force," Wang Guilin said.

"What the Air Force lacks is a heavy fighter with higher performance, longer range, greater bomb load, and stronger combat effectiveness, right?" Xie Kai asked.

The MiG-29 fighter has never been introduced in China, and the domestic third-generation fighters and light fighters are all domestic self-developed J-10, and the heavy fighters are the Su-27, Su-30 and the J-11 series through the introduction of the Su-27 production line, the carrier-based model J-16 based on the improved design of the Su-30, and the J-15 developed on the basis of the Su-33 prototype T-10K-3 and the domestic J-11 fighter obtained from Ukraine......

Even if the Su-27 is procured, it hasn't started yet, hasn't it?

There are no problems with the 82 project in China, and although the Americans have seen that the Soviet Union is no longer good, they have delayed the progress of improving the J-8II project, and the cooperation has not yet broken down.

"We don't know that. Although we went to the Soviet Union this time, although it was only a cooperation between us and the Soviet military-industrial units, the Air Force must also have someone involved in the middle, right?" Wang Guilin said.

It is impossible for the above to ignore such a big matter as going abroad.

And the Air Force can also follow to learn more about the performance of Super Seven.

For fighters, engines, etc., are very important.

"The details will only be known when your dad comes back. Zheng Yucheng said that none of them knew the inside story. "You just need to review honestly and prepare for the college entrance examination, by the way, you have figured out which university to apply for, and tell us about it. ”

Xie Kai was noncommittal, said goodbye to the two, and went back to the classroom.

He was really worried about his parents, although he knew that his parents didn't seem to care about him on the surface, and when he was reborn, he knew that his parents were also trying to let him develop the habit of self-reliance since he was a child.

"I don't know what happened to Xie Kai, the college entrance examination is about to begin, I said let him go abroad, you have to talk to him about your ideals, talk about your contribution to the country or something...... Now it's okay, we can't even suggest what school to go to or what major to study......" In a villa on the outskirts of Moscow, Liu Xu complained to Xie Jianguo, "What's the use of visiting everywhere all day long? People don't even mention the most advanced fighters!"

Xie Jianguo didn't know how to answer Liu Xu.

At first, it was just that they were negotiating with the Soviets, but they didn't expect that when they spent nearly two months completely completing the negotiations and were ready to do something else, the Air Force people came.

They could only accept the Soviets' arrangement together, and Liu Xu's attempt to go to Ukraine to find an agent could not be done.

As for Xie Jianguo's female classmates, Liu Xu didn't take it seriously for a long time.

Once had a meal with Yelena, and after seeing more middle-aged Soviet women again, Liu Xu never took it seriously again.

"Why don't you go back first?" Xie Jianguo was also worried about Xie Kai's volunteering, "Once he fills in the wrong volunteer, the impact will be a lifetime in the future." ”

"You're not afraid that I'll let him go abroad?" asked Liu Xu.

"Didn't you discuss with Yelena that Catherine would study in China and enter Xie Kai's university?" Xie Jianguo was not worried at all, "Besides, if he wants to go abroad, we can't stop him, right?"

"Forget it, he knows what he wants in the future. Liu Xu shook his head, "Tomorrow you negotiate, drink less wine." ”

"If you need to, you have to bite the bullet, it's not like you haven't seen their battles. The Soviets have always liked to use this kind of trick. Besides, tomorrow's negotiations will be mainly on the Air Force side, and they should have their own people in charge. Xie Jianguo said.

The Soviets had an unwritten rule on this matter, starting with the entry of Defense Minister Marshal Dmitry Ustinov into the Arbat Military District (the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow, Arbat Street, where the office building of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the USSR is located, and the Russians informally call the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff the Arbat Military District), the Soviet delegation had to drink before the negotiations, whether with representatives of the countries that came to buy Soviet weapons or with representatives of negotiating groups that needed to bring in equipment.

And it's also a high-strength liquor.

This is called the "Ustinov Law" because Marshal Ustinov believes that defeating the other side at the table is the first step to achieving absolute psychological superiority, and in this way, negotiations will be easier.

Liu Xu looked at Xie Jianguo, even if he was worried, he couldn't help it.

The Russians are addicted to alcohol, and although the state has issued a ban on alcohol, it is indispensable for negotiations, as well as at the banquets of many private high-ranking officials she has attended, and even the banquets of noble ladies such as Yelena.

Inside the office building of the Military-Industrial Commission in Moscow, a solemn meeting was underway.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to our analysis, in Chairman Oleg Baklanov's report to the highest level, based on the size of the Chinese Air Force and the size of the country, it is expected that the Chinese Air Force will need at least five divisions of advanced fighters in the future to form an effective combat scale. Judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to complete the Jian-82 fighter that they have improved in cooperation with the Americans, and they do not have their own advanced fighters in China...... Once this order is won, our military-industrial complex will receive nearly $28 billion in foreign exchange earnings in the future!" a general said to the participants with solemn expressions holding the report in his hand. "And this time, the heavy task will fall on the first negotiation with the Chinese Air Force tomorrow!"

The meeting was attended by members of the delegation of the Nizhny Grod Eagle aircraft factory (MiG), which will take part in negotiations with China tomorrow, as well as the military-industrial commission.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, we will take them down!" said a fat-bellied man, "and since they have a need, we can get them!"

"Alexey, it's good that you have faith, but the negotiations with the Chinese are different from the negotiations we have with India, Vietnam and North Korea. Chinese They have their own industrial base, and they have the ability to develop fighter jets, albeit poorly......," the general reminded the main responsible person of the delegation.

Alexei Fedrov, General Director of the Moscow Mentyev Machine-Building Plant, is also the main unit for the production of MiG fighters.

Nikolai Scublin, general director of the Eagle aircraft factory, did not have such self-confidence, "Alexey, although the other side has shown strong interest, their military spending is also very small. Although according to the current analysis of China's demand prospects, we can get a potential order of 28 billion US dollars, China is now engaged in economic construction...... They spend less than $10 billion a year on the military......"

In the opinion of Nikolai Skoblen, the report of the chairman of the military-industrial commission Oleg Bakaranov to the highest levels was too optimistic.

"Comrade Nikolai, you are too pessimistic. Almost all the main models of the Chinese Air Force are MiGs! Their air force has become accustomed to MiG fighters......" Alexei Federov has his own reasons for self-confidence, "Although they do have some research and development capabilities, do they have enough experience and funds to develop fighters with very high technical challenges and difficulties?"
