At the critical moment of the development of the early warning aircraft, with the joining of the director of the 38th institute, the development of the entire early warning aircraft may be quite difficult, but now the probability of success should be greater.

In the imperial capital, he sent away a group of people led by Director Wang to Grumman in the United States, and the entire FC-17 project also began to act, and the fastest Brazilian side has already received the first phase of research and development funds, and the technicians from Embraer are directly drawn from the AMX attack aircraft project cooperated by Brazil and Italy, and it seems that they can also get started.

In this case, Yang Hui took these Brazilians to prepare to go back to Southwest Science and Technology to start working, and after leaving the company for so long, it is time to go back to take a look, and I am afraid that there are not a lot of things backlogged at all.

However, the plan is always not as good as the change, just the night before Yang Hui was about to leave, the chief engineer Fang, who lived in the same guest house, came to find Yang Hui for some reason, and this time he found Yang Hui because he was very interested in the last time Yang Hui proposed to cooperate with MTU to introduce a 1200 horsepower tank engine.

After Yang Hui invited Chief Engineer Fang to sit down, Chief Engineer Fang went straight to the point: "We discussed with Pakistan about the diesel engine issue of MTU Company that you said last time, and Pakistan thinks that this plan is very good, and with sufficient power, we can immediately increase the protection of this tank to another level." ”

Hearing that Chief Master Fang came to tell him about this at night, Yang Hui always felt that there was still a problem, and I am afraid that in the end it would have to have a great connection with the Southwest Science and Industry, otherwise people who made tanks came to play the piano against the cow with their own planes.

In fact, just as Yang Hui expected, after saying that Pakistan was interested in choosing MTU's tanks, the Republic began to prepare to contact MTU. But here's the problem.

"General Manager Yang, for the 1200 horsepower diesel engine of the MTU company you said. We also investigated and found that this engine is MB871v8 diesel engine in MTU company internally. It was installed on top of the K1 master tank, which had just been finalized in South Korea. The performance is good. After we approached MTU, MTU decided that our 85-2 tank was not a national project and that the funds were not enough to introduce this engine, so they were only willing to sell the finished engine. ”

Hearing this, Yang Hui was also a little surprised, this MTU company is now unwilling to sell technology to the Republic of China MB871 engine because of this, which is a new situation. If this tank engine technology cannot be introduced, at the dawn of the 90s. I am afraid that both the Republic and Pakistan will be sanctioned for their own reasons, and the plan to introduce this engine will have to be completely ruined.

Now this situation is afraid that it really has to be brought forward by Southwest Science and Industry, with the current degree of cooperation between MTU company and Southwest Science and Industry, if you help it, although it is impossible for MTU company to give up the interests and sell the technology at cost price, but to say that it can be sold at the international level, there may be some possibilities.

"So, you came to me, and wanted to match up through our relationship between Southwest Science and Industry and MTU Company, and buy this engine technology. Am I right? ”

After Yang Hui's amazing brain replenishment ability, this time he guessed most of Chief Master Fang's entire plan. And Chief Engineer Fang also climbed up the pole at this time, in the smug calculation of Chief Engineer Fang, people are not just planning to let Southwest Science and Technology be the person who matches the bridge. It also takes a fancy to the abundant funds of Southwest Science and Industry.

Then he was cheeky again and began to 'inch in': "That's exactly what we intended, but now it's not just that MTU is unwilling to sell. Another problem is that we don't have enough money to introduce this technology, although our 85-2 tank is in cooperation with Pakistan. However, Pakistan is only willing to contribute 20 percent to the introduction of engines, which is still a large funding gap. ”

The current Yang Hui has already practiced various skills. For example, when he heard that he was told about the shortage of funds, Yang Hui's first reaction was to refuse.

"This problem of shortage of funds, we Southwest Science and Industry is also unable to help, we Southwest Science and Industry now also have a lot of money-consuming projects in progress, it is definitely impossible to support the tank engine project. If the funds are not available in the end, I don't think it has much to do with taking a step back and purchasing finished engines, after all, this tank is used by Pakistan, and there is no such strict self-production requirements for equipment parts and components as our domestic army. ”

At this time, Yang Hui definitely did not plan to jump into this big pit, the high-power diesel engine used in ground armor is not so easy to meddle in, and the current aero engine of Southwest Science and Industry has not been completely straightened out, where did so many other ideas come from.

In view of this, Yang Hui could only take a step back and suggest abandoning the introduction of the engine project and purchasing the finished engine instead, anyway, this tank may not be able to produce much.

As for the possible sanctions and embargo issues in the future, Yang Hui said that when the time comes, the East will not shine and the West will shine, and Western countries will sanction the Republic and Pakistan in 90, and there will be alternate Warsaw Pact countries that have disintegrated at that time.

The 6TD tank engine used in the T72 tank is also a 1200 horsepower engine, although the life, fuel consumption, volume, battlefield quick disassembly and other aspects can not be compared with the MB871 engine, but the Soviet products in the bloodline are strong and durable, but it is a tank engine that must be taken into account, especially in a harsh environment like Pakistan.

It should be known that the 6TD engine used in the joint development of the Khalid main battle tank between China and Pakistan in the previous one showed very good performance in Pakistan, and it was also very good to do the alternate power scheme when the time came.

Yang Hui began to persuade Chief Engineer Fang to temporarily give up the introduction of this engine, which made Chief Engineer Fang anxious, how could this good opportunity be missed, after the introduction of this engine, not only can it be used in tanks exported to Pakistan, I am afraid that domestic main battle tanks can also use this excellent engine.

"No, I just said that there is a big funding gap right now, but that's not the end of the story. When we approached MTU, MTU was reluctant to sell the technology, but they seemed to be interested in a company owned by Southwest Science and Industry that made small gasoline engines. It is said that it is willing to produce the engine in Southwest Science and Industry in the form of licensed production after the participation of Southwest Science and Industry, and the premise is that Southwest Science and Industry will be based on its small gasoline engine manufacturing company and be invested by MTU Company. ”

After saying that, Chief Engineer Fang was also very puzzled, and it was also all kinds of puzzled why MTU company would be interested in a small gasoline engine company of Southwest Science and Industry.

Chief Engineer Fang was puzzled, but Yang Hui understood something, this MTU company is really vicious, and now in the various businesses of the Southwest Science and Industry Civil Products Project, the most profitable is not the model aircraft manufacturing, but the gasoline engine manufacturing company for small motorcycles that began to emerge a few years ago.
