Sadly, the Republic has not yet fully mastered the maximum take-off weight of more than 100 tons of large aircraft, the maximum take-off weight of the Y-8 is 61 tons, the maximum take-off weight of the H-6 is a little bit, 75.8 tons, once we were only half a step away from the 100-ton class of large aircraft, as long as a little effort can be crossed, but for various reasons, this half step still did not cross, but to the Antonov Design Bureau here, the 100-ton aircraft can only be regarded as a "small aircraft", How can this not make people sigh in their hearts?

But there is no doubt that Kachikhanov's words have given many people a huge shock: yes, if the Antonov Design Bureau does not want to train talents, perhaps in a few years, the Antonov Design Bureau, which was once the "king of super-heavy aircraft design in the world", can only play with "small aircraft"!

This is absolutely not a no-go!

The unique talent in the field of heavy aircraft design is the most proud of the Antonov Design Bureau, if there is really no chance, it is fine, but if there is an opportunity, this housekeeping skill of the Antonov Design Bureau must not be lost!

"Lin Hongfei means that they are responsible for all R&D expenses, right?" Babraev, the chief designer and at the same time the top head of the Antonov Design Bureau, asked Kachikhanov.

"Yes, Lin Hongfei personally promised me that all R&D funds and R&D equipment will be provided by them, and we will only provide researchers." Kachikhanov nodded.

"If that's the case...... Babraev's eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the conference room, "to be honest, there are pitiful few, almost no R&D funding, and offices that seem to be vacated every day...... I'm fed up with the days of the Antonov Design Bureau now, and I seem to be watching our Antonov Design Bureau being bled with one knife after another, bleeding all over the ground, but there is nothing I can do about it. Because I did not have the means to provide sufficient funding for R&D to the Antonov Design Bureau. ”

"If the current trend continues, I'm worried that in 10 years there will be something left of the Antonov Design Bureau, maybe just us old men and a dilapidated factory? No! This is not what I want, and I believe that it is not what everyone here wants, the great Soviets fell, but I do not want the same great Antonov Design Bureau to fall, that's all! ”

There was pain on everyone's face, and there was a twist and struggle on everyone's face: as a group of people who led the Antonov Design Bureau from the Soviet era to the Ukrainian era, as a group of people who were indifferent to the desperate swinging of small hoes by major aviation enterprises in Europe and the United States, their love for the Antonov Design Bureau was unquestionable. As Babraev said, everyone present did not want the Antonov Design Bureau to fall.

However, if a company wants to continue, it is not enough to rely on the government's financial allocation, so what can it do with the money that is not even enough to make everyone half-fed? The only way. It's to contract some work externally, and now. The olive branch handed over by Lin Hongfei. It is enough to ensure that the Antonov Design Bureau has at least a chance to live...... As long as you live, anything is possible, and no one knows this better than the hairy people who have been slaves for hundreds of years.

"Since this is an opportunity for the Antonov Design Bureau, I think it should be seized." Victor, the first deputy chief designer, spoke.

"That's right, the An-70 project is progressing intermittently, and depending on the economic development of Russia and Ukraine, the whole project may not be delayed. You can't pin all your hopes on An-70, both An-140 and An-148 have been affected, I think it's a good idea to work with the Chinese, at least Lin Hongfei's bastard is rich. The second deputy chief designer also agreed.

"I agree with ...... too"

The heads and minds in the unit all said they had no opinion. The atmosphere suddenly became warm, but the next moment, Kakikhanov's words made the atmosphere in the conference room instantly fall into dead silence......

"But...... ...... on the side of the Americans and Europeans"

The room was so quiet that even a pin could be heard on the ground: Americans and Europeans......

It is an undeniable fact that from the disintegration of the Soviet Union to the present, the "simple" people of those years have clearly recognized what the so-called "freedom and democracy" preached by the Americans at the beginning were, and they did not want to bring any freedom and democracy to the Soviet people at all, but to bring down the Soviet Union.

However, a reality that has made countless people suffer is that although everyone has seen through the conspiracy of the Americans and Europeans, they can never go back, not only can they never go back, the Americans and Europeans have already supported quite a lot of agents in Ukraine, and the current Ukraine is to a large extent dependent on people's breath, which is very painful, isn't it? But what can be done, this is the sin of the Ukrainians themselves, the sins of all the Soviets themselves, and in this matter, the Antonov Design Bureau wants to preserve its heritage in the field of heavy aircraft, which is a fundamentally unavoidable problem.

"This, in fact, there is a way," when the faces of most of the people in the conference room were gray-white, Babraev spoke, "First of all, this can actually be determined with Lin Hongfei, in the way that the Beijun 200 improved model is carried out; Secondly, we must do a good job of confidentiality, no matter who or what organization asks, we are all entrusted by Lin Hongfei to make follow-up improvements to Beijun 200. ”

Under the banner of North County 200, do North County 400? The eyes of those who participated in the meeting lit up: yes! It's a good way to hide from the world, why didn't I think of it before?!

When the Tupolev Design Bureau designed the TU-22M3, the Tupolev Design Bureau repeatedly declared to the outside world and the Soviet Central Committee: "This is the second-generation improvement of the TU-22, not a completely new model!" But in essence, the TU-22M3 and the TU-22 are two completely different aircraft, the TU-22M3 only has the nose landing gear and the same cabin door as the TU-22, and nothing else is the same. But there are still some worries......

"What if the presidential palace and the government smell?"

"Same!" Babraev replied categorically.

"Then I don't have a problem."

Kravchuk, Leonid. Kuchma, Vinnyshenko and others never imagined that when they had to give in under pressure from the Americans and Europeans, a group of people would plot to play a trick to hide the world!

"In addition to shares, we strive to put part of the production of the North-County 400 aircraft ...... the Antonov Design Bureau" When the name "North-County 400" was spoken, Babraev closed his eyes in pain: it is obviously his own child, but he has to follow someone else's surname, how many people can understand the pain in this? This heart-rending and heart-wrenching pain made him almost breathless from pain.

After a while, Babraev slowly opened his eyes, "We need to train the skills of our production team, and even if we can design our big plane, there will be no way to produce it." If...... If Lin Hongfei resolutely refuses, it is our bottom line to cooperate in building a factory in the Republic! ”

"Cooperate to build a factory?" This is a good idea, having a common factory means having common interests, but Kachikhanov immediately thought of another question, "How to calculate the proportion of shares in this factory?" And ......"

"We invest in the construction of the factory with technical technology, we can provide them with training work for production technical personnel, at least 30% of the shares of the factory, and the number of workers and technicians of our Antonov Design Bureau in the factory must account for more than 30%; As compensation for them, we can appropriately reduce the proportion of share income in this project......" Speaking of this, Babraev trembled his hands, took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out two pills and stuffed them into his mouth, drank two more sips of water, and waited until his face was a little better, and then continued, "The minimum profit dividend should not be less than 10%...... That's our bottom line! ”

————————————————————————

When Tymoshenko accompanied Lin Hongfei around Ukraine, President Kravchuk and First Vice President Leonid Brown. Kuchma and Prime Minister Vinnishenko finally invited Lin Hongfei to the presidential palace, nominally to pick up the wind for Lin Hongfei, but in fact Lin Hongfei knew very well that he wanted to find out his details...... I've been here for four or five days, and I've been catching the wind? What kind of sub-style is this?

"Lin, I'm so glad you to come, and I welcome you to Ukraine on behalf of the Ukrainian people." Kravchuk came up and gave Lin Hongfei a powerful hug, patting Lin Hongfei on the shoulder enthusiastically, and he couldn't tell that this guy had dried Lin Hongfei for several days...... Lin Hongfei was not surprised at all, politicians are like this.

"Your Excellency President, you are too polite," Lin Hongfei nodded with a smile, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for giving me enough time to inspect the investment situation in Ukraine, but now it seems that ...... Well, I feel the need for me to go to Belarus and have another look. ”

Well? Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Kravchuk and Leonid. Kuchma and Vinnishenko glanced at each other in some surprise: Lin Hongfei said this...... What is the meaning?

"Lin, haven't you found something worth investing in the past few days?" Vinnishenko asked Lin Hongfei, a little more careful in his tone. (To be continued......)
