USSR 1991

Under the coercion and lure of the CIA, Sikorsky agreed to their request and prepared to go to China for another round of negotiations. The CIA is also actively packing equipment and sending all the remaining materials of the original cooperation projects to China.

Regarding the enthusiasm in the United States and thinking that he had picked up a treasure, Yanayev just smiled as if watching a clown show, and did not speak.

Chapter 221 Let's Trick Him Together

Shouldering the sacred mission of improving Sino-US cooperative relations, the heads of Sikorsky Corporation set foot on Chinese territory again. The last time they experienced the power of Chinese military representatives, they met representatives of the Soviet Union and the United States almost at the same time. Negotiate and then use psychological warfare to undercut each other's prices to benefit from it.It also caused Sikorsky to lose a large amount of income. On this point, Sikorsky has a grudge against China and the Intelligence Agency.

Although this time the intelligence agency claimed that it was a separate transaction without the slightest sign of third-party involvement, Sikorsky still couldn't believe their words, but this time it didn't dare to speak up, it could only be said that it was based on the price. Probing attack.Moreover, the person in charge of the transaction this time is General Zhang, whom the Soviet population said last time.

They had experienced the deception level of this military personnel, so that when they saw him appear, everyone's expressions lifted, as if they were facing a big enemy.But General Zhang still looked calm and calm, and greeted them with standard American English accents, pretending that you don't need to be nervous, we are harmless to humans and animals.

Of course, this is harmless to humans and animals, whoever believes it will be unlucky.

"In 1987, a helicopter in our country crashed in Nuomu Hong Township. It was later found out that the accident was caused by the breakage of the tail rotor drive shaft due to product quality problems. Sikorsky paid a total of 300 million US dollars for aviation materials. And compensation, do you remember this matter?" Without mentioning the quantity and price of the transaction, General Zhang asked about the accident a few years ago as soon as he came up.

The negotiating delegation of Sikorsky was stunned for a moment, looking at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what card the other party was going to play, so they nodded and replied, "Of course we know about this, but Sikorsky is very confident in its products. It will never happen again."

"Wait, I remember you said the same thing after the plane accident, insisting that we used counterfeit materials or our operation was wrong." General Zhang continued to pursue the victory and press the opponent.

"I don't know what you want to express. Can you please explain clearly?" The representative of Sikorsky company didn't like going around in circles at the negotiating table. They hoped that the Chinese representative could directly put forward their request.Open the skylight and speak frankly, of course the Chinese representatives are waiting for this moment.

"We all know that your materials are not necessarily 100% quality guaranteed, so are you still ashamed to insist on the price when you sell it? Unless you can guarantee 700% that no accidents will happen, we are willing to accept [-] million yuan this price."

There is no previous Soviet Mi-17 helicopter as a competitor, and in addition to the large demand for Black Hawk helicopters in China, the price does not dare to bargain too hard, but now the Chinese can only use bluff to deter the West. Kosky company, don't you claim to be the best helicopter, then show the attitude of the best helicopter, and prove that the crash of your plane can only be caused by man-made problems, not quality problems.

No one dared to make such a guarantee, and Sikorsky was unwilling to let go, so it had to make some small concessions, such as reducing the price of the Black Hawk helicopter by [-] to [-], in order to reach this agreement.Twenty to thirty thousand U.S. dollars may be a huge income for a person, but it is nothing at all for the terrifying price of the Black Hawk.

"We are willing to accept the price proposed by the United States to purchase forty helicopters. If you are willing to reduce the price by another hundred thousand dollars, then we will purchase sixty Black Hawk helicopters." General Zhang knew that some bargaining chips could not be used once, so he had no choice but to Give the other party the temptation in terms of quantity.

After whispering for a while, Sikorsky's negotiating delegation expressed that they were willing to accept China's request for a price reduction, but they also canceled some adjustments to the helicopter and handed it over to the Chinese side in person.Of course, in the past eight years of dealing with the Black Hawk, the People's Liberation Army has already known it well.

The negotiations reached a consensus in a fairly pleasant atmosphere, and even the agents of the CIA secretly rejoiced that the operation was not messed up. As for the matchmaker, the American embassy will be praised and praised by the president.

After that, there was nothing to do with Sikorsky, and then the CIA personnel met with the PLA military representatives. They expressed their willingness to return the things that were not exchanged to China in the Peace Model Project in this operation.However, another contract must be signed with the United States, and some economic cooperation between China and the Soviet Union must be terminated.

The Chinese military representative got angry at that time, you are threatening China, even interfering in China's internal affairs.At that time, China did not sign, and the United States was not stubborn. They hoped that China could consider clearly whether it was worth giving up the deal for the sake of economic trade that was not worth a fraction of the value of this batch of arms.

Just when China was in a dilemma, Beijing received a reply from Moscow. They said that China could sign the contract if it wanted to, and they didn’t care about the feelings of the Soviet Union. They just wanted to know what list of weapons the United States had provided to China.

When the Chinese side mentioned that there was a new type of avionics system and a Black Hawk helicopter, the Soviet Union showed great interest, saying that they were willing to buy a set of American avionics systems and a Black Hawk helicopter. They hoped to cooperate with the Chinese side on a target Black Hawk's helicopter project, creating its own high-altitude helicopter with superior performance.

China has channels but no technological imitation, and the Soviet Union has excellent heavy industry technology but not enough channels, so the two sides hit it off and decided to jointly digest American technology in secret.

A few days later, the Chinese military contacted CIA officials, saying that they were very willing to sign the contract and cooperate with the United States against the Soviet Union.This change of attitude caught the CIA officials by surprise. They were very happy to sign a contract with the Chinese side, and promised that all weapons would be delivered to the Chinese side within the next half month.

The Chinese stated that unless all the weapons were obtained, their contract with the Soviet Union would continue.How could the elated CIA officials know that this was just a bureau jointly set up by China and the Soviet Union, the purpose of which was to defraud the United States of secret military technology.

Sure enough, half a month later, the Chinese side got their much-needed avionics system, as well as two refitted J-[-] fighter jets, radar systems and advanced torpedoes.China did not hesitate to unilaterally terminate some cooperation agreements with the Soviet Union, and threatened to withdraw all scientific research personnel and technical personnel.In order to cooperate with the acting, the Soviet Union only made a few symbolic protests, but secretly, these cooperation projects will continue. The Chinese side only said that they would withdraw the scientific research personnel, but it was not that the scientific research personnel could not continue to work.

But it was this effect that made Woolsey very happy. He reported the news to US President Mario, claiming that with the efforts of the United States, a crack had finally appeared in Sino-Soviet relations, and what he had to do now was to continue to expand the relationship. road cracks.

After China obtained a series of coveted equipment, the Soviet Union also received the avionics system and Black Hawk fighter secretly sent by China, saying that with the equipment sent by China, the Soviet Union could finally improve the electronic combat technology of fighter jets. breakthrough.In these technologies, both China and the Soviet Union cooperated with each other.

Up to now, Yanayev’s serial plan has been fully realized. First, he used the Kiev-class aircraft carrier to seduce the United States, and used military transactions between China and the United States to achieve his goal of obtaining the latest American high-tech equipment. Only the United States was still arrested. In the dark, they thought this was a major victory over the Soviet Union.

And what China has to do is to continue to play the role of this black-bellied collaborator, use the US economy to develop itself, and use the Soviet Union's military industry to arm itself.

Chapter 222 Publicity Strategy

Yanayev was vigilant against the left-leaning red-headed documents, which were distributed to all Soviet cadres in the form of paper like snowflakes.In the document, he clearly emphasized the need to be vigilant against the emergence of leftist trends of thought, so as to prevent the Soviet Union from being brought to another extreme.This document is like a slap in the face of those who believe that the Soviet Union has returned to communism.

Yanayev also insisted that to prevent himself from being infiltrated in ideology, he must establish a belief that is equally sufficient. It is not a long-term solution to belittle the opponent's democratic and liberal values. People's beliefs are sure enough that they can be used to maintain the relationship between the Soviets and the Confederate States.In order to maintain national unity, the Soviets took communism as the goal of solidifying people's hearts, but forged the world's largest bureaucratic and privileged system.

Therefore, the ideological values ​​​​that are highly combined with socialism and patriotism are naturally included in Yanayev's consideration.The reason why the United States can unite people of different colors and different beliefs is patriotism.

So Yanayev also put forward the slogan that to support the Soviet government is to love the motherland mother. This kind of patriotic slogan played a major role in the Great Patriotic War, but it was later caused by the rigidity of the Soviet propaganda organization. Patriotism is self-denied by the bureaucracy.

For this reason, in terms of the form of propaganda, Yanayev also approached Surkov. As a candidate to lead the new era of Soviet propaganda agencies, he entrusted this important task to Surkov's shoulders.Yanayev's request is that patriotism must be subtly infiltrated into public awareness in a way that the people like to hear and see, and it must be in a form that is acceptable to people.Don't let people feel that it is a brainless praise deliberately made by the government.

"Use painting, film, painting and other forms, especially to catch the younger generation of children. They can no longer accept the erosion of the so-called liberalized values ​​​​in the West." Yanayev reminded.

"Pictures, propaganda pictorials? But the actual effect of propaganda pictorials is not satisfactory." Surkov kindly reminded.Those idiots in the previous propaganda department almost pushed the image of the Soviet Union into the abyss, and also verified the statement that the propaganda departments of socialist countries are almost the enemies of the country.

"No, no, the posters are also too rigid, and it will make people feel that this is deliberately done by the government." Yanayev thought for a while and said, "We can use a form of comics to let children People or young people are more willing to accept such propaganda, and will subtly influence their support for the motherland, the people, and the Soviet."

"Cartoon?" Surkov was slightly taken aback. It was the first time he heard such a fresh statement.

As a time traveler, Yanayev certainly knows the impact brought by such things as comics. For example, the right wing of the island country launched the Ship Girl in order to promote and beautify militarism to those dead houses.

"Yes, comics. For example, we can anthropomorphize the countries of the whole world. The Soviet Union can be a giant bear, while the United States can be an eagle, and then France can be a Gallic chicken, Britain can be a John Bull, and China can be anthropomorphic. Rabbit. Express international events in such a way that the younger generation likes. And mix patriotic plots into comics, and express it in such a way that the people like, without appearing that we are singing our own praises .”

"This is really a very vivid way of expression, and only General Secretary Yanayev can think of it." Surkov sighed, this is not flattery, but admiration for the general secretary's idea .

"Comrade Surkov, you cultural workers should also go deep into the people to find out what they like. It is an act of alienation from the masses to work hard alone." Yanayev reminded him kindly.

If the old-fashioned guys in the Soviet Union could have half the vision of a time traveler, the Propaganda Department would not have been infiltrated by the two traitors promoted by Gorbachev.

"In terms of movies, we can try to downplay the role and influence of political parties in it. For example, during World War II, we can show more of the government and the evocative spirit of the Red Army soldiers, expressing their struggle and dedication to the great motherland. At the same time, the Soviet Union and the motherland Mother also did not forget them, remember, we must combine small people with big events to improve the positive image of the Soviet Union in many ways."

Speaking of this, the first thing Yanayev thought of was the two movies "Attack to the City" and "Stalingrad". Although "Attack to the City" has always continued the plot of Hollywood's black Soviet Union, but just as Americans like to black Soviet Union and then black It's as if you've made a fool of yourself first. In terms of storytelling, "Soldiers Under the City" is pretty good.

If these American works are used to plagiarize, the effect should be pretty good.For example, the Soviet version of "Fury", the Soviet version of "Saving Private Ryan", and the Soviet version of "Band of Brothers". Although there are no Oscars and no box office in socialist countries, they are enough to beat Western Hollywood movies of the same year.

Of course, Yanayev only told Surkov his thoughts, and the specific handling of pens and knives had to be studied by the directors of Mosfilm, and these things made Surkov, the propagandist Let the minister worry about it, who told him to be in charge of Soviet public opinion and propaganda.

"At least once a year, we will release a high-quality film that is good enough to rival the Oscars, shame Western Hollywood, and at the same time reverse our disadvantage in publicity." Yanayev said with some pride.If Yanayev hadn't time-traveled back then, at least he should have made a movie, at least he could have won an Oscar for Best Director.

"One movie a year?" Surkov was a little stunned. Even he couldn't guarantee that there would be no gaps in the scripts he wrote, but where did the general secretary get his confidence?

"Yes." Yanayev said affirmatively. Based on the outline he provided, the best director in Moscow wrote the script and shot it, and almost unlimited funds were used to shoot these movies.

"By the way, I am very interested in the cartoon that the general secretary mentioned before. Does the general secretary plan to give this cartoon a name?" Surkov did not dare to neglect the cartoon that the general secretary of the CPSU personally mentioned. I want to make plans earlier.

"The name." Yanayev held his forehead and thought for a while, then said, "The name should be "Things About That Bear That Year."

Chapter 223 Heroes of the Republic

Yanayev's propaganda strategy is not only in the form of art and culture such as film and literature. Holding a military museum is also one of Yanayev's goals. Through military exhibitions, the younger generation can understand the strength and greatness of the motherland.

There is a famous Soviet aircraft cemetery in the city of Ulyanovsk on the Volga River, where thousands of aircraft are parked. It belongs to the Ulyanovsk Aviation Museum, which was once the largest aviation museum in Russia, including Hundreds of original models.In addition to some common fighters such as the MiG series, there are rare supersonic Tu-144 transport aircraft built by Tupolev. They once represented the greatest achievement of the communist regime, and now they are here to slowly rust.

The Ulyanovsk Aviation Museum has only a few caretakers guarding the entire huge aviation cemetery. These cemetery guards are some gray-haired old men who risked their country for the Great Patriotic War. Young fighter pilots, who once braved the enemy's artillery fire, are now accompanied by the memories of those lost wars, and they are here to accompany these fighters to grow old slowly.

Comrade Bunikov sat on the open-air bench of the Aviation Museum, staring at these lost ancient memories in a daze. At this time of the year, some of their old comrades-in-arms would gather here, but in a few years, it was a bit unexpected, and he was the only one Here one waits for others, to pass the long and solitary hours.

He is the gravekeeper of this aerial cemetery, the last person who experienced it in the Great Patriotic War.

"Can I sit here?" A childish voice sounded from Bunikov's side, waking him up from his drowsiness. Bunikov turned his head and saw a timid little boy standing beside him, Also holding a toy airplane.He was staring at Bunikov and repeated in a low voice.
