The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

"Old Wu."

After the waiter left, Chang Haonan took a sip of tea and got straight to the point:

"The aircraft carrier that Luchuang Group bought back has not been towed back yet?"

"not yet."

Wu Yifan lowered his head and scooped up a spoonful of stewed lion head:

"Originally we planned to set off in August or September, but as I reported to you last time, there was a batch of fragile equipment that we had obtained from the shipyard and put on the ship. We were worried that it would be damaged midway or be robbed by someone who was interested. So I made a temporary decision to dismantle it and give it to me to transport back, so I spent a few months dismantling the equipment.”

"But before I come back this time, all the work has been basically completed. I estimate that I will be able to leave Hong Kong before the end of the year."

After finishing speaking, he put the lion's head into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then let out a sigh of satisfaction:

"When it comes to food, the country has to be the best..."

Chang Haonan had not been abroad for a long time, but looking at the other party's appearance, he probably suffered a lot outside. Immediately turned a few big dishes aside:

"That's good. During this period, Shipbuilding Industry has been eagerly waiting for the ship to arrive. It is said that Lianhai Shipyard and the dock have been dredged and prepared..."

In fact, for him, it doesn't matter if the ship leaves a month earlier or a month later.

The point is that you need to calculate your time and be prepared to deal with the Turks who are likely to cause trouble.

At this time, Old Wu finally put down the spoon in his hand:

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing I need you to decide on."

Chang Haonan was rolling duck pancakes with his head down. He didn't speak, but raised his hand to signal the other party to continue talking.

"It's about the friendship plan."

Wu Yifan replied:

"Didn't I send hundreds of engineers and technicians from the Black Sea Shipyard to China before? Some people were a little worried at first and didn't want to bring their families with them. But after staying for a few months, they regretted it and grabbed them one by one. Please contact your family to come over.”

"As a result, this matter slowly spread. Not only the Black Sea Shipyard, but also several large-scale military industrial companies such as Kharkiv, Antonov, and Ivchenko started to Contact the smuggler... er... liaison officer I assigned there and ask if they can implement the same policy and come to China. "

"Yes, of course."

This time Chang Haonan raised his head:

"As long as it meets the requirements we have set, the more the better. Even if most people cannot participate in our military projects, they can still play a role in the civilian industry."

The original intention of setting up the friendship plan was to systematically introduce talents from the CIS countries. Now that they are rushing to come over, it is naturally a good thing——

You know, these people are not foreign trash, they are all technical backbones trained during the Soviet period.

"But Brother Nan..."

Old Wu hesitated for a moment:

"Others are easy to say, but both Antonov and Ivchenko are the second-tier suppliers of the Tu334 passenger aircraft we introduced, which should be called C808 in China."

"I specially asked someone to check it. Even under the current situation, it is very difficult for them to complete the delivery task. If I pick up the wool again, I am afraid that the production speed..."

Obviously, after a few years of hard work after graduation, he is much more thorough in handling things than before.

"Don't worry about this. You are only responsible for checking the qualifications and bringing them back. I will solve the quota issue!"

Chang Haonan's answer was crisp and clear.

"But the airliner..."

Wu Yifan is still a little worried.

Chang Haonan raised his hand and pressed it down, then lowered his voice slightly:

"Technically speaking, the production of C808 only requires us, Tupolev and Salyut to complete it. The reason why Ermao was included at that time, in addition to considering the property rights issue of Tu334 itself, was to wait for their production capacity to catch up. The day I won’t go…”

"what?"

The chopsticks used by Lao Wu to pick up food stopped in mid-air.

"This matter is more complicated to elaborate on..."

Chang Haonan also stopped drinking soup:

"In short, this project was guaranteed by Ermao Official. In other words, if it cannot be implemented as required, the compensation will be paid by Ermao Official."

"Uh...so?"

Old Wu frowned, feeling that things were not simple:

"Er Mao is so poor now that even natural gas has to be financed by Da Mao. Unless you go to Kiev to dismantle telephone poles, it will be difficult to get the money back..."

"I wasn't planning on asking for it."

Chang Haonan pointedly said:

"I am planning to wait until a certain stage and then use the name of paying off debts to find some good things to come back from there."

"Is that so?"

Wu Yifan suddenly realized it, then raised his hand and touched his temples:

"If you want to say black, then you are the black ones..."

Chang Haonan waved his hand:

"Hey, no prizes, no prizes..."

What he was eyeing was naturally the pictures 160 in Er Mao's hand.

There are currently a total of 160 Tu-19s remaining at Preluki Air Base.

After so many years, there may still be a total of eleven or twelve that can still fly.

Originally, around 1995, China sent people to inspect these aircraft.

But Ermao was under joint pressure at that time, and in the end it was not sold.

Originally, this matter should have gone to waste.

If there had not been a series of drastic changes caused by Chang Haonan later, eight of these aircraft would have been handed over to Mao in the name of debt repayment about a year later, and the remaining 8 would have been completely destroyed under "international supervision."

Later, Tupolev used the spare parts left over to assemble a new aircraft to supplement a Tu-160 that crashed due to an accident.

Going forward, that will be the story of the successful resumption of production of Tu2023M160 in 2.

However, in today's unrecognizable timeline, the United States and Russia, which originally had a certain tacit understanding on this matter, have interrupted contact due to Allied Forces operations——

Although there is no evidence to clearly indicate where the weapon that shot down the B2 came from, at this time, Americans' path dependence is still stuck in the Cold War era.

So I almost instinctively put the blame on Da Mao.

Therefore, if Da Mao now wants to get a few bombers back according to his previous plan, it would be best to find one or two more helpers to jointly put pressure on Er Mao.

Of course, as a proper strategic weapon, the whereabouts of any Tu-160 is an extremely sensitive matter. Even Chang Haonan cannot guarantee 100% success.

But now that I have the opportunity, I must try it.

Even if it can only get three or four aircraft, it will give China early access to the design, maintenance and production of 300-ton supersonic aircraft.

As well as mastering a theoretical strike capability against the east coast of the Pacific——

In fact, since the mid-70s, the Chinese Air Force has eliminated all nuclear-related positions, and no mass-produced aircraft in service can actually carry nuclear weapons.

In other words, China's "trinity" nuclear capabilities have actually been absent for a long time.

In the context of the time, this decision was understandable. After all, aerial bombing with H-6 nuclear bombs, however abstract it may sound, had no tactical value.

However, as the times progress, the variety of space-based nuclear weapons will increase again, especially in the use of tactical nuclear weapons, which have unique advantages.

It's best to recover as soon as possible.

As a strategic bomber, the Tu-160 has undoubtedly considered this since its mother's womb.

In comparison, having an additional logistics support system is a negligible price.

……

The two ate and drank together, and quickly finished chatting about the planned topics.

After a moment of silence, Chang Haonan said what he had just remembered during the day.

"Old Wu, after you go back this time, can you find a way to open up a transportation route from Eastern Europe to the east coast of the Mediterranean?"

This somewhat explosive topic made Wu Yifan, who was rubbing his stomach to digest food after a meal, unable to react for a while:

"Where?"

"The eastern shores of the Mediterranean, I mean the northern part of the Levant, places like Lebanon."

After hearing this, Old Wu sat up straight again and thought for a long time before asking:

"There doesn't seem to be anything worth returning to in these places, right?"

"That's true."

Chang Haonan replied:

"So you first get some normal supplies, such as transporting cars, flour, electrical appliances and the like, and then transport out some local specialties."

"In short, things are not important. What you can earn personally is what matters. The important thing is to open up the route, so that if you need it in the future, you can use it immediately without having to improvise."

There is no doubt that this is planning in advance.

"Well... I have to find out about this when I get back."

Lao Wu’s answer was very cautious:

"I have never run this route before. It seems that it is more reliable to go from the Anatolian Plateau or the two river basins in the east than from the sea, but I have to try it to know the specific situation..."

"You are professional in this regard."

Chang Haonan patted the other party on the shoulder:

"I don't rush for time, and my priority is to ensure the stability of the channel."

"it is good."
