Chapter 717: The government agreed
For the Soviets, this was definitely an accident, they did not expect that the Chinese actually saw the Su-27, moreover, the Chinese were too interested in this aircraft, it seems that they did not buy this fighter.
However, there are too many factors in this to promote it, and it is definitely not an accident, and now the Chinese delegation's inspection of the territory of the Soviets is about to come to an end.
Their inspection time is very long, even if they have visited many places and visited factories one by one, it is also very time-consuming.
Not only aviation, but also some aerospace sites, and now, it is finally time to separate.
Finally, sitting in the hotel in Moscow, many old friends stood up, holding wine glasses to find their friends to drink, once they go back this time, the next time we meet, I don't know how long it will take.
General Lin held the wine glass and looked at Shaposhnikov, the veteran had already drunk more than a dozen glasses of wine, his face was flushed, and he said to General Lin: "Old friend, you don't know, because I let you see the Su-27, and I was also criticized." ”
Shaposhnikov knew the reaction of the Minister of Defense, and Yazov took the position of Minister of Defense only after the German plane flew to Red Square and a large number of personnel stepped down, and before becoming Minister of Defense, Yazov had always been in the Far Eastern Military District, so Yazov was worried about China, for fear that this advanced fighter would fall into the hands of China, which would increase the pressure on the Soviet Union in the Far East.
At that time, Shaposhnikov also simply shook the pot neatly, it was not our fault, it was they who kept shouting that they had to see our Su-27, we had already hidden the Su-27, but I didn't expect that a Su-27K slipped through the net, it was a matter of the navy, if you want to find it, just look for the navy!
Now, speaking of this, Shaposhnikov also looked innocent, and I was scolded in order to let you see the Su-27.
"My old friend, for the sake of our friendship, cheers, I am sure that you will definitely see our determination and perseverance, and then sell the Su-27 to us." General Lin said.
These days, they have also made a detailed observation in the Soviet Union, this country, with world-class heavy industry, especially the military industry, can compete with the United States, but there is no corresponding light industry, the materials here are extremely scarce, and the people are even worried about their daily necessities, this is absolutely abnormal, and this problem can be solved from their own side, they have a large number of light industrial products, over the years, with the reform and opening up, the country has been full of vitality, so, The two sides happen to complement each other, exchanging their own light industrial products for their fighter jets.
Let's not want the MiG-29, it's the Su-27!
Just as General Lin and Shaposhnikov were toasting, in a small room nearby, Belousov met with General Liu again.
The entire delegation was led by General Liu, who had been to the Western world and was surprised by their advanced technology, and also knew that his own backwardness was there, so General Liu also had a sense of urgency in his heart, and he must introduce modern fighters as soon as possible to upgrade domestic military equipment!
This historical opportunity must be grasped, especially this time, after the West closed the door, the Soviet Union opened the door again, if this time can not seize the opportunity, it is the sinner of history.
"General Liu, the government asked me to convey to you the government's decision, and our Soviet government has agreed in principle to sell Su-27 aircraft to China, and is preparing to hold a second meeting in the second half of the year to discuss it in detail." Belousov is in charge of the Soviet Union's military industry and economic work, and is also the receptionist of the Chinese delegation this time, his words, immediately made General Liu excited, this time, everyone is aiming at the Su-27 to come, but at the same time, we also know that such an advanced fighter, if you want to directly obtain, it is still difficult, who would have thought that the Soviets would agree so quickly?
Did they recall the years of burning passion?
"Then we're looking forward to seeing each other next time." General Liu said: "After we go back, we will also hold a meeting as soon as possible to discuss many matters concerning the introduction of the Su-27 fighter, this modern fighter is exactly the urgent need of our Air Force to make up for the gap in our Air Force." ”
This kind of huge arms sales is bound to be a complicated process, and the purpose of our visit this time has been achieved, that is, the Soviet government has agreed in principle to the sale of Su-27 fighters!
As for the price, the scale, how to replace it with goods, etc., these are all details to be discussed later, at least for now, the dawn is ahead!
The government of the USSR, agreed to our request for purchase! That night, everyone learned the news, and in an instant, everyone was so excited that it was difficult to sleep.
Su-27, this is an advanced heavy air fighter comparable to the F15 fighter! It has a range of thousands of kilometers, so that their own air force no longer has a problem with short legs, it has advanced radar and medium-range air-to-air missiles, can be intercepted at medium distance, make up for their own gaps, its advanced shape, but also let this fighter have 9G overload capacity, it can be said that this fighter, will become their sharpest knife!
"It's a pity, we'll have to wait a few months." General Lin said: "The next time we negotiate, we will be able to seriously inspect their fighters, and at the same time, we will also have the opportunity to test flights." This time, it's definitely not going to work. ”
There were a lot of inspections this time, but the real Su-27 fighters were not inspected, and the Su-27K was only a short ten-minute investigation, and after it was launched, it was never seen again.
The next time I go, I will definitely experience this fighter in person, and when I think of this, I am extremely looking forward to it.
The same is true for Qin Feng, yes, thinking that he will have to wait for a few months, he can't help but think, if compared with the various aircraft he has inspected before, the Su-27 is definitely the best choice for the Air Force, and for a country with a vast territory and a large population, a heavy air superiority fighter is the best choice.
At the same time, heavy air supremacy fighters are also the exclusive domain of major powers, and most of what the United States sells to the outside world are F-16, and the F-15 has always been cherished by the broom, and it is only exported to the closest allies, but fortunately, it has not purchased American fighters, otherwise, it will definitely be like Iran's F-14 fighters now, and it will be in a situation of lack of spare parts.
