On the outskirts of Moscow, the Mikoyan Design Bureau test flight site

Domestically, Chen Xi was already busy with his feet in order to complete Wang Yue's huge order, but on the other side, Wang Yue was dragged by Tasha on an Il-76 transport plane, all the way to Moscow, the plane did not even land at the international airport, but directly landed at the test flight site of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, which gave Wang Yue a new understanding of Tasha's energy, but when he saw the silver rag-3 fighters at the end of the runway, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

What the hell is this Nima, is this the Lag-3 fighter? Air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, anti-radiation missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-radiation missiles, electronic pods, etc., what kind of thing is this, medium-range bombs, you actually put medium-range bombs on this Lag-3?

"Victor, don't do this, your face will scare me." Seeing that Wang Yue's face was about to drip water, Tasha hurriedly comforted her.

"Tasha, I remember I said that I want to get an original Lag-3 fighter, even if there are improvements, the technology should not exceed the level of 1940, I don't want our aircraft to be a thorn in the side of others, do you think we can be assassinated every day?" Wang Yue was a little angry when he spoke, this plane himself couldn't take 1940 at all, because it was too advanced, and if this thing was launched by himself, it would obviously be to compete with others for orders, could the market for the "Super Tucano" and "New P-51" be touched by himself?

"Victor, damn it, don't talk to me so loudly, this is Mikoyan's newly upgraded MiG-3 fighter, the Lag-3 you want is there, if you talk like this again, I won't like you anymore!" Tasha pointed to a corner of the tarmac and said angrily and aggrievedly.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I'm just a little anxious, these guys are really, why did they pull out the MiG-3 too." Wang Yue looked at Tasha apologetically, turned around and was about to run in the direction of the Lag-3.

"Miss Tasha, this friend of yours doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in our MiG-3." On the one hand, Mikoyan's project leader Gudkov looked at Tasha with a regretful face, his eyes were full of pleading, MiG-3 is also his project, with the popularity of low-cost fighters over the years, Mao Xiong has also made a lot of attempts, Mikoyan Design Bureau has benchmarked the "Super Tucano" fighter, and comprehensively upgraded the legendary MiG-3 fighter.

Canaan's avionics, 1553 data bus; "Vitrified" cockpit with head-up display and few mechanical instruments in the cabin; computerized fire control system; Equipped with GPS and laser inertial navigation. Among the optional components are forward-looking infrared and helmet-mounted sights. In the adaptation of ammunition has also achieved the extreme, correspondingly, the price has also been pushed up to five million US dollars, which makes the hairy bear military, which itself has a huge reserve of fighters, not interested at all, as for export, it can only be hehe, after all, the international arms market has never been a simple buying and selling relationship, this time, Tasha commissioned them to redesign the Lag-3 fighter, Gudkov dragged out the MiG-3 that Mikoyan regarded as a treasure, hoping to get into the eyes of the other party, but it was a pity.

"Goodkov, put away your thoughts, if you dare to do this, I will never help you again!" Tasha glanced at Goodkov angrily, and then chased after Wang Yue, mentioning that she was also worried about the MiG-3 fighter, and the aviation complex hoped that these arms dealers could help sell this thing, but the problem was that neither performance nor price could completely overwhelm the "Super Tucano", the most important thing is that Mikoyan's reputation over the years is really not very good, where are any customers willing to pay for the MiG-3 fighter.

"Tasha, what improvements have been made to this plane?" Wang Yue ran to the lone Lag-3, and immediately scanned the plane with the system, and the results were very gratifying, which could be brought to time and space in 1940, but this plane was compared with the Lag-3 he searched, how is it different?

Hearing this, Tasha glanced at Goodkov and motioned for the other party to explain, and Goodkov immediately understood, "Mr. Victor, according to your requirements, we have used the technology of 1940 to carry out a comprehensive upgrade of the Lager-3 fighter, the wooden part of the aircraft has been completely eliminated in the material, and the aluminum has been upgraded to the latest product specifications of the Bald Eagle Laboratory at that time, in short, it is close to the level of the F-5 fighter, the aircraft is lighter, and the structural strength is also higher." Then there is the armor of the important parts, we used the most advanced armor steel formula of Hansi at that time, which has better protection performance and lighter weight.

Structurally, we integrated the noodle country and the Japanese weight reduction program, the aircraft has been comprehensively reduced, with the blessing of new materials, the empty weight of the whole aircraft has also been reduced from 2205 kg to 1800 kg, which is still our targeted strengthening of the aircraft structure, if according to the original design, it is estimated that it can be reduced to about 1500 kg, which is lighter than the Japanese zero war, and the overall architecture of the aircraft uses a 10,000-ton molding machine, which is estimated to be even a bald eagle at the time can not afford to play.

In terms of power, we use the M-82 star-cooled engine, the mechanics have retuned the engine, increased the power from 1820 horsepower to 1900 horsepower, and we have replaced some key parts of the material, so that the engine is more stable, and the safety has been maximized. Gudkov introduced with a look on his face and a fluttering eyebrow.

"Wait, that, Mr. Goodkov, as far as I know, didn't your M-82 engine not be mass-produced until the end of the war?" Wang Yue couldn't help but interject, you are not strict in the heart system, why are you suddenly allowed to carry advanced technology until 1940, if it is really like that, can't Lao Tzu directly get the ultimate version of the P-51, and even go to get some Liuye, isn't it fragrant?

"Mr. Victor, the research on the M-82 was actually completed around 1940, but the requirements for materials and processing accuracy were quite high, and the impact of the later war caused the delay in mass production, which I can guarantee!" Goodkov was a little weak-minded, the reason why they used the M-82 engine was actually because they had a large amount of inventory in the warehouse, which could save a little cost.

"Okay, you go ahead." Wang Yue knew that in 1940, Mao Xiong definitely did not have the ability to mass produce, but it was still possible to manufacture a small amount regardless of the cost, although it was a pity not to bring more advanced fighters to 1940, but it also opened a back door for himself, and it seems that his idea of penicillin seems to be more likely to be realized.

"Mr. Victor, we also upgraded the drop-shaped cockpit of the Lager-3 fighter, using the most advanced bulletproof technology at the time, which raised the bulletproof effect of the cockpit glass by a whole level, and while improving the safety performance, the flight seat was raised by five centimeters, which greatly improved the pilot's vision.

In terms of electronic equipment, we chose Western products with better performance at that time for the aircraft, and at the same time equipped it with a simple radar, with the architecture of H2X radar, which can achieve early warning and ranging of 20 kilometers, but the performance of multi-cavity magnetron at that time was indeed limited, if you are interested, we can also provide a variety of options.

In terms of armament, the primary version of the fighter is still 2 12.7mm Berezin BS machine guns, 1 20mm ShVAK cannon, and 4 100-kilogram aerial bombs, in fact, the same as the original Lagh-3 fighter, the weapon scheme is initially modular, and a variety of changes can be made, of course, we have also reserved pipeline and interface space on the aircraft, and you can also upgrade the aircraft to the level of 'Super MiG-3'. Gudkov unconsciously aggravated the second half of the paragraph, selling the original version of the aircraft is only a few dollars, and if you want to make money, you still have to install advanced equipment.

"Can this plane fly? What about performance? Wang Yue didn't hear the second half of Gudkov's words at all, his eyes were full of this thing, compared to this thing, his own pile of Ethiopian planes is a pile of garbage, if it is really an air battle, it is estimated that one can single out a large number of his own planes.

"We have successively carried out dozens of hours of high-density test flights, and the comprehensive performance has completely crushed the aircraft of the same era, just like the P-51 fighter, the maximum speed after the replacement of the engine is 704 kilometers per hour, and this aircraft, the current speed is close to 800 kilometers per hour, if it is not for the fear that the strength of the aircraft can not stand it, the pilot also wants to try a higher speed, we have also optimized the fuel tank and engine, so that the range of the aircraft is more than 2700 kilometers, although it is still a little bit different from the P-51, but it is only a few tens of kilometers, which is almost negligible, as for the high and low altitude performance, maneuverability, etc., all crushed the P-51! Gudkov was proud, why staring at the P-51 fighter comparison, it must be because this thing is the only World War II fighter in service at the moment, and in 2010 Bald Eagle bought another 100 of them.

"Find a pilot to teach me, I want to try it myself." Wang Yue stared at the fighter jet and suddenly had an idea.

"Mr. Victor, you must know that the piloting of a fighter jet is still very complicated." Gudkov looked confused, now what is wrong with this customer, he has to fly by himself when he comes up, and it is not impossible to say that the customer is trying to fly, but they are all professional pilots, but how do you look at it?

"Goodkov, arrange it, this guy flew very well." Seeing that the two men were looking at her, Tasha said casually, as for Wang Yue's safety, she was not worried at all, with this guy's demonic learning ability, it was definitely not a big problem to fly an old propeller fighter.

Goodkov succumbed, but he didn't let Wang Yue get on the plane directly, but arranged for the test pilot to fly a few laps with Wang Yue with a MiG-3 trainer plane, hoping to dispel the other party's idea of being overwhelmed, but he didn't expect that in just three laps, this guy could actually fly solo, circling and turning sharply, Yo Yo maneuvering, barrel rolling, scissor flying, half-roll reversal, Inmaiman maneuver, vertical steering, tail rush, Herbst "kicking the wall" maneuver, Pugachev Cobra maneuvering, this bastard, this is just a propeller fighter, It's just a propeller fighter!

In this way, in Goodkov's almost murderous eyes, Wang Yue did not reluctantly fall to the ground until the fuel tank called the police, and finally did not forget to slow down with a large overload, and almost threw the MiG-3 trainer to the ground, which frightened Tasha's face white.

It's just that Wang Yue's almost crazy piloting style directly made him lose the opportunity to fly the Lag-3 fighter into the air, Tasha even took out a grenade from his bag and threatened to blow up the Lag-3 fighter, in desperation, Wang Yue had to agree to be tested by the test pilot, but he was required to fly according to his own instructions.

This time the people on the ground suffered, under his command, the pilot continued to do all kinds of extreme actions, the most excessive even attached to the airport runway, an illegal roll and even directly flew off the MiG-3 fighters at the end of the runway, even with a few cars were overturned, making the scene a mess, Gudkov's face was almost green, grabbed the walkie-talkie and strictly ordered the pilot to land immediately!

"Mr. Goodkov, how much does this kind of plane cost?" Seeing those twisted MiG-3 fighters, Wang Yue also knew that he had played a big game this time, so he hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Mr. Victor, although it looks like this is still a Lager-3 fighter, in fact it is similar to redesigning an airplane, and a lot of precision machine tools are required in the manufacturing process, so the price of one is $3 million, but compared to the performance of the aircraft, this price is definitely worth it!" Gudkov smiled and quoted a price that he thought was favorable, although he said that it was all true, but in fact, the engine, weapons, and instruments were all ready-made, and even the radar was copied by the Union in 1944, and as for the raw materials, all of them were in stock, and the only possibility was that it consumed the use of precision machine tools and hydraulic presses.

"It's absolutely impossible, if it's this price, I might as well go to Lolita to modify the first six, it is said that the price of that thing is less than 200,000 US dollars, even if the modification cost is expensive, it won't cost much." Wang Yue shook his head, although the first teaching six can't be brought over, but if the first teaching six is used as a template to make a new aircraft, there is a high probability that it can be brought over, after all, the technical level is really not high.

"Mr. Victor, this can't be, it's not the same thing at all, it's just a trainer plane, and the Lag-3 is a fighter, a fighter that can attack any drone and counter-guerrilla forces!" Goodkov responded loudly, he was actually very scared, although he couldn't see the first teaching six, but he had to admit that if it was modified, that thing could also be used as an anti-drone and anti-guerrilla, the most important thing was that it was cheap and low-cost, and the fuel consumption of the 1,900-horsepower engine of the Lager-3 was very scary.

"The price is too high, the reason why I started this project is that when I was chatting with Tasha, I thought that the price could be compressed to the extreme, and at your current price, there is no need for him to exist, 3 million US dollars, I can buy three of your MiG-21s, and the functions you said can be realized!" Wang Yue pursed his lips disdainfully, although he was very satisfied with this plane, but it was not a big deal that could be handled casually, at least Mikoyan would not be able to do it, otherwise he would change it, Brazil? Argentina is said to be okay, but if you can't go to Serbia, they are said to be able to make it.

"Goodkov, I remember that I asked that the plane could be produced at a small factory, right? You are a precision machine tool and a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, which does not meet the requirements of the contract, and I can refuse to pay! Just when Gudkov was about to say something, Tasha's cold voice sounded, it was clear that Mikoyan had made it difficult to manufacture airplanes, although these technologies could be realized in 1940, but Tasha couldn't, there were no 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, and there were no senior mechanics to replace high-precision machine tools.

"Miss Tasha, we have also completed the drawings of the kind of lag-3 you wanted, but from a professional point of view, we think we can do better." Gudkov was a little weak-hearted.

"Better? Isn't it best for me to use the MiG-29, Gudkov, I will complain to the aviation complex about you, Viktor, go, let's go to Sukhoi! Tasha said as she walked towards her Il76.

"Miss Tasha, don't worry, after all, the purchase of the plane needs to be negotiated, and the price is ultimately negotiable, isn't it?" Goodkov hurriedly stopped Tasha and prayed with a face, propeller fighters, there is no difficulty for them, and there is no cost, which means that the aviation complex cannot restrain Mikoyan, and how much they earn is their own, so this order is undoubtedly very important to Mikoyan.

"An order of 500,000 US dollars, an order of 200 aircraft, if you can, we will sign the contract, otherwise we will go to someone else!" Wang quoted his price after a little thought, although Goodkov's offer was not kind, but this aircraft is really good, in terms of the performance of this thing, it will not lag behind until 1945, and enough room for upgrading is reserved, and it can be estimated that it will take half a century to repair it.

"No way, it's a fighter! Half a million dollars is simply impossible! Gudkov refused without thinking, but when he heard the order for two hundred planes behind, he regretted it again, two hundred, two hundred, there is no such a large order after entering the twenty-first century, at least the woolly bear has never seen it, even if the country is at war now, Mikoyan has no business, and Sukhoi is not comparable at all, two hundred, one hundred million, and a profit of at least ninety million, enough for Mikoyan to hold on for a while.

"I pay with the equivalent value of gold, the payment is cash, and I will never be in arrears, but I need all the technical drawings of the two versions of the Lag-3 fighter!" Wang Yue caught the slight change in Gudkov's expression, and even heard the acceleration of his heartbeat, so he increased his bargaining chips, you don't care how much it costs for others to make this kind of aircraft, anyway, 500,000 US dollars Wang Yue can't build it himself, as for what modification of the first teaching six to buy the MiG 21 is just an excuse.

"Victor, you want to pay in gold? Did you know that you can pay 20%-40% in gold? Tasha looked at Wang Yue with a look of astonishment, although many countries are engaged in gold reserves, but in fact, no one spends gold to buy things directly, after all, no one is stupid, what can be solved with pieces of paper, why use gold? Therefore, in order to absorb more gold, everyone's usual practice is to give a discount to the big dog who pays for gold, and it is said that the alliance has given an 80% discount in the first few years after its dissolution.

"Tasha, you must know that for us, there are still different feelings for Mikoyan, so I can give Mr. Gudkov a chance, of course, this is also the last chance, if not, we will go to Sukhoi!" Wang Yue smiled at Tasha, but he was very bitter in his heart, he originally wanted to exchange dozens of tons of gold through Chen Xi, but Binzhou Rural Commercial Bank had not been in contact with the relevant business, and was still waiting for the instructions of the head office, otherwise, he could only exchange it for Wang Yue at the official price.

As for exchanging it to Tasha, it is also possible, but it can only be exchanged for some numbers, and then buy weapons in the woolly bear, with the current economic situation of the hairy bear, Wang Yue really does not dare to take risks, unless he can guarantee that he will spend the money at one time.

"Three hundred, Mr. Victor, I need an order for three hundred at this price!" Gudkov was very excited in his heart, gold, if you exchange gold for rubles, a big business like them can get a bigger discount, half a million dollars, bullshit, for Mikoyan, the profit is even higher than a million dollars.

"Yes, but I need fifty trainers of the same model in a month, and if there is no problem, this order will be set!" Wang Yue readily agreed.
