Chapter 697: Flying to the Soviet Union

The waiting time was long, Qin Feng continued to test the Jian-8 air tanker in the test flight yard, and at the same time, the test flight of the Jian-7 was also restarted, and everyone continued to move forward fearlessly along the road walked by the martyrs.

At home, Qin Feng made a flight simulator for Xiaohutou, so that Xiaohutou was satisfied, and said that he would make a report to the school, Qin Feng didn't go, he did this flight simulator, Xiaohutou didn't come down all day long, so Gu Tingting was annoyed a few times, winter vacation homework, do you still plan to complete it? If you don't study hard, how can you become a pilot? The last words can be regarded as influential, so that the little tiger head obediently came down to study.

After the New Year, another two months passed, and finally, Qin Feng accepted the order, went to the capital with great interest, and embarked on the road to the Soviet Union.

At this time, the time has entered the nineties, the motherland has undergone great changes, watching the high-rise buildings in the capital rise from the ground, Qin Feng also felt that the motherland is thriving, and on the passenger plane to the Soviet Union, Qin Feng is even more excited.

This time, the scale of the entire delegation is huge, and it is definitely beyond Qin Feng's own imagination, for example, it is General Liu who is responsible for leading the team!

In the past, Qin Feng could only be in the corner of the conference room, looking at General Liu who was presiding over the meeting, General Liu had excellent vision and strategic thinking, and every path he pointed out was proved to be correct, and at the same time, General Liu still had the courage to make a decision, and when he encountered a problem, General Liu would also pat the table and decide.

Now, Admiral Liu was sitting in the cabin, chatting with several senior officials in the same room, and Qin Feng was sitting next to General Lin, also chatting with General Lin in a low voice.

"This time, we dragged on for several months, but there is no way, many things are not for us to decide, we have to take our time." General Lin said: "Last month, our prime minister went to the Soviet Union, and in Moscow, we have reached a preliminary agreement to resume and expand cooperation between the two countries in the field of aviation and space technology, and we can provide food and daily consumer goods to the Soviet Union in the form of government loans in exchange for Moscow's agreement to sell aviation technology and equipment to China." ”

This is a political consideration, but also an economic consideration, after all, the country's foreign exchange reserves are still quite pitiful, and the import of fighter planes with the Soviet Union will inevitably consume a large amount of funds, how to solve these problems?

At the beginning, the Air Force took a fancy to the Mirage 2000, but the French asked for too high a price, and they did not allow agricultural products and so on to replace it, so the talks were bound to not be successful, but now it is different, and the Soviet Union is in dire need of daily necessities.

The Soviet Union is a deformed country, it has a huge military strength, it is one of the two hegemons on the earth, Moscow stomps its feet, the whole world has to shake twice, in all areas of military affairs, the Soviet Union has a huge advantage, however, the glory of the Soviet military industry is at the expense of light industry.

The Soviet Union is only one Ukraine, it is already a big granary, but the grain produced on the territory of the Soviet Union cannot meet their needs, so the Soviet Union has long begun to buy grain from the West to survive, in the era of high oil prices, the Soviet Union exported oil and natural gas to Western Europe in exchange for food, which is a very normal means, but now, the price of oil is low, even lower than the cost of oil exploitation in the Soviet Union, coupled with the war in Afghanistan, the Chernobyl accident, etc., the Soviet Union has been unable to make ends meet, so, No more money can be spent on food, so that both sides can take what they need, with advanced fighter jets for themselves and food and consumer goods for the Soviet Union.

Qin Feng would not understand how serious the problem was now, and Tu Lao, who was on the side, came up and interjected: "We have gone to Moscow several times, and we will eat all the travel meals on the plane before getting off the plane, and we will eat to our heart's content. ”

"Why?" Qin Feng was puzzled.

"Because God knows when and where the next meal will be eaten, and these will not be transferred by our will." Tu Lao said.

The lineup of this delegation is huge, and Tu Lao is also in the delegation, and Tu Lao has also come to the Soviet Union more than once, which is of course also for the Super Seven project.

With the tension with the West, there is a vacancy in the engine of the Super Seven project, and the scheduled F404 will definitely not be used, even if the Americans provide it again, they will not be able to use it, if there is a next time, who can afford it.

At the same level as this engine, there are several in Europe, such as RB199, M88, and even EJ200, but these engines are quite expensive, and the cost performance of their own Super Seven is really not matched.

At this point, we still have to admire the United States, the scientific and technological level of the United States is definitely the first in the world, and at the same time, the quality control and cost control are quite in place.

Take the fighter as an example, the performance of the F-16 is definitely higher than that of the Mirage 2000, the engine, avionics, etc. are ahead, and the price is only half of the Mirage 2000.

The same is true for the engine, the price of F404 is less than half of that of M88, and the power and reliability are high.

At this time, it is natural to think of the Soviet Union, the engine on the Soviet MiG-29 is also one of the alternatives for Super Seven, even if Pakistan has stopped the Sabre-2 program, Tu Lao still relies on his own perseverance to promote the progress of this project.

"Comrade, please give me a drink." At this moment, the stewardess on the plane came over with a small cart, Qin Feng watched the stewardess come over, and at the same time felt thirsty, and asked for a glass of juice to drink, the food on the plane was provided for free.

"Please." The stewardess handed Qin Feng a cup, and then took the drink, and when it was handed to Qin Feng's hand, the stewardess continued: "The drink can be drunk casually, but the drink cup, there is only this one, we have to use it sparingly, because the plane to Moscow, there is no supply to go, and we need to leave some cups for returning to China." ”

Before the plane departs, these things must be prepared, this plane is a domestic airline, but when the plane returns, it still has to be used, and there is no supply in the local area, so everything must be saved.

Qin Feng gave a thumbs up to Tu Lao, sure enough, what you said was good.
