"Stinky boy, it's almost the New Year, it's crazy to play outside, right, don't you come back?" The moment he connected the phone, Lin Hongfei ushered in a reprimand with a split head and a face.

It's just that Boss Lin has been scolded and scolded by his father-in-law, and he doesn't care, and says with a smile, "Isn't it better if I'm not in China, I heard that the British are going crazy these days?" ”

"You stinky boy!" Dongfang Zheng scolded and laughed, "The British are now crazy, crying and shouting to deliver the Spey engines that were not issued before, and now we are trying to get greater benefits in the economic field...... I said you kid, why are you so damaged? How did you come up with the idea of fooling the British with the RD-29 of the MiG-33? ”

"Loss? That's right," Lin Hongfei was not ashamed of his father-in-law's criticism, but proud, and his tone was quite proud, "I will tell the people in the company, and when the British go to them again, tell the British that the price of each engine is reduced by 500,000 pounds, which is considered a punishment for their previous pressure on our engines and not shipping...... If you dare not reduce the price, we will order RD-33 from Lao Maozi, oh no, it is the RD-93 customized for us by the Klimov Design Bureau. ”

The MiG-29 fighter was designed as a fighter for front-line support and combat use, and to put it more bluntly, the Soviets originally designed this aircraft for the purpose of allowing the MiG-29 to act as a cannon fodder to block the fighter clusters of the European powers in the event of a possible outbreak of European large corps operations in the future.

Since it is a cannon fodder machine, the MiG-29 is naturally a lot worse than the SU-27 in terms of technical content, which is a super simplified version of the SU-27, so naturally, the performance and technical level of the RD-33 used by the MiG-29 are much worse than the AL-31F used on the SU-27, which is in a bad situation at present. Whether it is the former Soviet Union or the current Soviet Union republics, it is really not difficult to get two second-hand RD-33s with good performance.

Lin Hongfei didn't even alarm the Ukrainian authorities, and through Ukrainian second-hand arms dealers, he got 4 RD-33 units at a price of $100,000 each...... In fact, if it is just to fool the British, two are enough, but the maddening reliability of the RD-33 is really speechless (sympathize with the third brother again) helpless, just four, two as a backup, anyway, one is only 100,000 US dollars, and the cheap one is about the same as Chinese cabbage.

Next is the script that Lin Hongfei had arranged before: some photos of the RD-33 turbofan engine being tested and obviously preparing for the installation of the FBC-1 fighter-bomber were revealed through special channels.

Seeing these photos, the British, who were still muttering in their hearts about the accuracy of this news, are really anxious now: it seems that Martin's intelligence is really true. The Chinese really plan to replace the "Spey" MK202 with the RD-33.

How can this be done?! How can this be allowed to happen?!

If there is no unjust republic to buy these second-hand "Spey" MK202, isn't it equivalent to the British government losing hundreds of millions of pounds out of thin air?

To tell the truth, although the "Spey" MK202 has good high-speed performance, stable and reliable, easy maintenance, good economy, long overhaul life, and low failure rate, these advantages are only relative to the level of aero engines in the seventies and eighties of the Republic. From the perspective of the world's world, the overall technique of "Spey" MK202 is still 20 years ago. If you look at it from the current perspective. "Spey" MK202 is full of shortcomings: poor low speed (this shortcoming, for combat missions often require low-altitude or even ultra-low-altitude penetration of FBC-1 is simply a fatal shortcoming, if it is not for the Chinese's own turbojet engine low-speed performance is worse than it, how can it be its turn?) High fuel consumption, slow acceleration, and low thrust...... All kinds of shortcomings, just to name a few!

For these. The British themselves are actually in their hearts.

The British themselves actually understand that the "Spey" MK202 engine can only be said to be a helpless alternative that the Chinese will use at this stage under the premise that there is no better engine for their FBC-1 fighter-bombers.

As a first-generation military turbofan, the Spey MK202 doesn't even have much value for upgrades. There is simply no way to match the current or future fighters, and the decision to sell the "Spey" to the Chinese in the first place is because they saw through this and wanted to squeeze the last trace of surplus value of the "Spey".

If it weren't for some factors within Xifei that the British seized the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth and ask for money, this batch of second-hand "Spey" MK202 would have been delivered long ago. Originally, the British thought that this kind of good life would last for a few more years, but who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly?

True, the RD-33 and the Spey MK202 have different fuselage mounting points, but the size of the two engines is about the same, and for the aircraft designers of the republic, who can independently design a complex fighter, it is not much of a technical problem to slightly improve the RD-33 so that it can be mounted on the FBC-1.

If this batch of sealed second-hand "Spey" is smashed in his own hands, then the fun and jokes will be great, so it is understandable that the British are in a hurry to catch fire...... Finally, there was an opportunity to sell the tattered gold price, and he even messed up the matter?! At that time, the gentlemen of the British Empire will surely become the laughing stock of the whole world.

"Prime Minister Major isn't in a good mood, right?" Lin Hongfei couldn't help but ask his father-in-law, although he designed all this, after all, he didn't see the reaction of the British with his own eyes, and he was naturally curious about the reaction of Prime Minister Major at that time.

"It's not just bad, it's just crazy, I've been working for so many years, and I've never seen a Briton so angry...... $500,000 is too little, and I don't think you can have a problem pressing the price. "Dongfang Zheng's mood is also very good. Although his job is not to be in charge of the military industry, how can he not know this kind of thing? I used to hold my breath, but now I have a chance to get back to the field, and my mood is naturally very refreshing.

"Haha......" Lin Hongfei laughed, the British felt uncomfortable, and Boss Lin's heart suddenly became much more comfortable, "Okay, then reduce it to half of the original!" ”

"Half true?" Dongfang was taken aback by his son-in-law's promise so happily: he actually said that, in his opinion, it would be good to be able to suppress 500,000 pounds.

"Definitely, at least half, try to get it down to £1,000,000!" As soon as he said this, Lin Hongfei gritted his teeth angrily and hatefully, "The price of a brand new RD-33 in the international market is only 2 million US dollars, look at the contracts signed by those bastards at the beginning: 3 million pounds per unit!" This is all the hard-earned money of our people! A group of cubs sell bastard things that Ye Tian doesn't feel distressed about! In the past, the contract was signed, and we had no chance to bargain, but now the British took the initiative to send us the opportunity, wouldn't it be sorry for themselves, sorry for the country, sorry for D? ”

Of course, Lin Hongfei knows that there must be something greasy in this price, and those who handled this matter at the beginning may not have gotten many kickbacks from it, but in any case, the price of the British is simply a robbery of money, and you must know that the price of Lu Dao is converted into the current price, and the price of the British to buy a brand new "Spey" is about 2.5 million pounds, and what they are buying now is still dismantled from a retired aircraft? I didn't say it, at least cut the price by half, and strive for a third, otherwise there is no negotiation!

Lin Hongfei was ruthless in his heart.

"Are you sure?" Dongfang Zheng asked after a deep sigh. If this price can really be lowered, it will naturally be a great thing for the republic, which is now in urgent need of a large amount of money for economic construction. What if they threaten not to deliver the engines? ”

"This is going to be your old man's house," Lin Hongfei laughed like a fox, "They don't agree?" It doesn't matter, we told them clearly that if they dare to disagree, we will make up for it from somewhere else...... This batch of goods has been pressed by them for so many years, how should we live the same? It's great that I'll find a way to get another batch of RD-33s to stimulate them, as long as the British understand that even if they don't give us this batch of goods, we can make up for this loss from other places, and they won't be able to recruit them. ”

“…… It's the same," he groaned, Dongfang Zheng nodded in agreement, what Hongfei said is not unreasonable, as long as we are not afraid of being pinched because of this batch of engines, then there is a way to toss these Brits, "You can operate this matter, anyway, it is your AVIC No. 2 Group's business...... One more thing, the British are crazy trying to find you, when will you come back? ”

Of course, the British were eager for Lin Hongfei to come back, and after assigning the West Flight to the AVIC Group II, the localization of the FBC-1 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber and the "Spey" MK202 naturally fell on the AVIC Group 2, and the second-hand "Spey" MK202 turbofan engine was handed over to the Republic, and it was really impossible without Lin Hongfei's signature.

"There's still something to do, I'm going back soon, I guess there will be another two or three days." Lin Hongfei said.

"That's good, as soon as possible," Dongfang Zhengdao said, "Hainan Airlines has a good evaluation of the first batch of Flying Leopard fighters delivered, and get those engines as soon as possible, lest the British have something to do with them after a while." ”

"Well, I see, it must be as soon as possible." (To be continued......)
