Chapter 400: Variables
As for the situation in the northeast, Wang Zhengguo is not very clear about the follow-up, only knowing that it was after the return of the premier of the State Council, only half a month, a huge delegation composed entirely of military equipment scientific research personnel talked for a long time in the Soviet Union, as for what happened after returning to China, it seems that Wang Zhengguo is not qualified to inquire.
Throughout the 90s, non-NATO countries around the world ushered in a "spring", and the NATO countries headed by US imperialism launched a final struggle against the Warsaw Pact bloc, and the entire international situation ushered in turmoil.
At the end of 1990, Comrade Wang led a team to return from South Africa, according to what he brought back, the current political situation in South Africa is also unstable, Mandela was released in February 90, and the black people in South Africa are also funded by the Western Human Rights Fund, launching all kinds of farces, and bloody conflicts are one after another.
In the north, South Africa's border war against Angola lasted for 23 years, and the entire operation exhausted a lot of national strength, and it is not clear where the future will go.
The most obvious manifestation of the turmoil in South Africa is that this time Lao Wang returned to China, where several key engineers who had previously been engaged in the design of the Tea Falcon helicopter applied to work together with the Republic to follow up the progress of the development of the Tea Falcon helicopter in the Republic.
As for the No. 10 multi-purpose program, although the project is still advancing, the whole team can clearly feel that the investment and attention are completely declining compared to before, and only one No. 10 multi-purpose prototype equipped with the Qingcheng engine has been built, and the production of the second prototype is significantly slowing down.
On January 17, 1991, the Gulf War broke out when the US-led multinational forces bombed Baghdad.
In less than a month, Iraq could not bear it, and Saddam Hussein announced that he would accept Security Council Resolution 660 and conditionally withdraw his troops from Kuwait.
At the same time, the Su-27 fighter from the Soviet Territorial Defense Force flew directly from the Amur Komsomolsk to the Nanyuan Airport, the imperial capital of the Republic.
At the tail of the Su-27 fighter, the distance between the left and right vertical tails can stand side by side with five to six people without feeling crowded, so that the high-level officials of the Republic Air Force who were observing the scene couldn't help but sigh.
"My goodness, I'm afraid this plane can fit into a squad of airborne troops!"
The words sound a little funny, and even a little embarrassing, but it also reflects the fact from the side that the Su-27 fighter is really big, the aerodynamic design is perfect, the maneuverability is also the top in its contemporaries, and the platform design is very good.
It is very strange that this time Wang Zhengguo was named to attend the ceremony in the imperial capital, including Lao Wang, Chief Tu, and Chief Wen, and the four of them watched the entire flight show.
After the performance, I learned that the high-level was very interested in Wang Zhengguo's Il-76/78 introduction, bombardment six changes, and domestic D-30KP2 engine plan, and Liu felt that someone was very dog-headed and think-tank, plus this Wang Zhengguo seemed to be very interested in Soviet military equipment, and it happened that the Su-27 project negotiations encountered a bottleneck.
"Xiao Wang, right, we have already considered your suggestion in detail, and we are currently negotiating with the Soviet Union......
In the course of the conversation, it was said that some of the inspection groups had seen and heard in the Soviet Union before, and Wang Zhengguo also knew for the first time that the original delegation had not completely negotiated the goal in the Soviet Union, although the Soviet Union was still the same as the upper plane, and was willing to sell Su-27 fighters, but the premise was to export the whole machine, and as for the introduction of the production line, people did not agree.
This time, I want to talk directly with the Soviet Union about the introduction of production lines, and I am really confident enough.
Think about it carefully, even in the upper plane, the Su-27 production line can be introduced in China, it will be around 95 years, that is when the Russian poor even pants are about to be lost, so the production line was successfully introduced, and now the Soviet Union is having a hard time, but at least the face has to be saved.
However, in some cases, the situation is not completely unchanged, at least now the domestic aviation manufacturing industry has changed dramatically.
"If, according to my suggestion, you want to introduce the Su-27 fighter production line, you may need to take a multi-pronged approach!"
"First of all, we have to prescribe the right medicine, now the Soviet Union is short of daily necessities, lack of dollars, so we must be satisfied in this regard, promising that half of the project introduction will be paid in dollars for the cost of the project, and the remaining half will be covered by daily necessities at preferential prices. ”
For Maozi's side, some basic requirements must be met first, and then talk about others.
"Then secondly, looking at the general situation of the entire international aviation trade, the premise of being able to introduce the third-generation fighter production line is to order fighter jets in large quantities, so we must purchase at least more than 100 aircraft. ”
As long as the requirements of the Soviet Union in these two aspects can be satisfied, then there will not be much problem in terms of business, and the carrots that should be prepared are almost in place.
After the carrot, of course, it is necessary to show the hard power of the republic, so that the Soviet Union can see that the military of the republic is not as easy to fool and easy to satisfy as they imagined, and at the same time, let the Soviet side see that the republic has the strength to help the Soviet Union contain the tripartite forces of the United States, Japan and South Korea in the Pacific region.
"The Su-27 is a very good aircraft, but the Soviet fighter is not without shortcomings, and even the entire Soviet defense industry has a difficult problem to solve, that is, in terms of semiconductor integrated circuits, they are even more backward than us, so the core of my proposal is "technology exchange", and the two sides are win-win and mutually beneficial. ”
Finally, after saying "technology exchange", the small conference room made a move, and although it is not clear whether this suggestion is really feasible, it is at least slightly reliable.
"I think this suggestion can be tried, Chairman Xiao Wang has the most advanced semiconductor integrated circuit technology in China, and if he can put it forward like this, it must also have a certain truth, right?"
The speaker was Lin Lin, deputy commander of the People's Liberation Army Air Force in his 60s, and he was also drawn into the negotiation team as the main force because of his Russian ancestry in this negotiation with the Soviet Union.
And Liu Da also recognizes this, if you can get the Su-27 production line through technology exchange, it doesn't sound like a loss.
"Go on, if it's a technology exchange, we approve of this plan. ”
After receiving permission, Wang Zhengguo further made suggestions, which are one ring after another.
"It just so happens that the Soviet Air Show Troupe has not yet left, and it is not rude to come here, so I suggest that the Soviet Air Show Troupe be invited to visit Project No. 10 in Rongcheng, so that they can see our achievements in the aviation industry, and only when they face up to our strength, the follow-up negotiations will be easier. ”
It was a risky proposal to openly let the Soviet air show troupe visit the No. 10 fighter, but Wang Zhengguo's reasons were also very strong, if the two sides wanted to sit down and negotiate on an equal footing, they must have equal strength, and No. 10 was obviously an existence that could enhance the image of the republic's aviation industry.
The bigwigs didn't express their position, and Wang Zhengguo could only continue:
"Since we decided to invite a visit to the 10th on an ad hoc basis, the Soviet side should not have expected this before, most of the air show troupe are just pilots, as long as they are not professional aircraft chief designers, they can't figure it out. ”
Inviting a visit to No. 10 would be risky, but if it can lead to the introduction plan, Wang Zhengguo doesn't think it will be much of a problem.
At this time, a leader of the Ministry of Aviation Industry seemed to think of something, and hurriedly followed Wang Zhengguo's words to add a sentence, he did not say that he agreed with Wang Zhengguo's plan, but simply believed that the test flight of No. 10 needed the support of the Soviet Union.
"Leader, now the test flight of the tenth has been carried out to one-third, and there is a very important stall tail spin to change out of the test flight project, this project test flight is extremely difficult, we do not have any experience in China, and may need the help of the Soviet Union, whether it is to invite them to come to the test flight, or we send test pilots to study abroad, the tenth can not be kept secret for too long. ”
I don't know if this has worked, anyway, the big guy nodded slightly, and it should probably be regarded as a preliminary approval of the plan.
"Okay, then invite them to have a look, and let the Soviets see the achievements of our Republic's aviation industry, and let them know that the students of that year are no longer Wuxia Amon, and we can sit down and negotiate on an equal footing. ”
