Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1248

“The J-8II arrives earlier, there will be longer time for the western world to report. We should arrive earlier.” Wang Guilin felt that ten days was too short.

The pilot will be very tired after tens of thousands of kilometers of transition.

This is a severe test for the stability of the fighter.

Several Super-7A aircraft at the base have been flying for more than 300 hours at least. According to the manufacturing level of those fighter aircraft equipped by the Air Force, it is about to reach the time of overhaul. Even the RD-33 engine is close to overhaul time.

The service life of Soviet engines is very short, generally only a few hundred hours, and the maintenance cost is very high.

Long-term continuous flight, coupled with being abroad, the domestic technicians of maintenance equipment in various countries are not very familiar with it, and problems are prone to occur.

“It’s all to this level, and it’s useless to worry about it. Although it’s an exhibition, this time out, we can also allow our technical staff to communicate with technical staff from other countries, and learn from foreign experience…” Zheng Yucheng thought about it.

Yue Lin never interrupted, just listened by the side.

Bai Yanjun and others are too lazy to pay attention to them. Everyone is very busy. These two old guys are becoming less and less concerned now, saying that they are discussing the logistics support of the flying team during this period, but now they are worried about this.

“In fact, this is also good for us. The J-8II is assembled there. Only those who participate in the air show can see it. The specific performance is not easy for people to intuitively see.” Xie Kai saw that these old guys have gone before. Passion and what you do are all kinds of worries, and there are some unhappy in my heart, but when it is time to inflate, you can’t discourage them, otherwise, there is nothing to do. “Let’s talk about logistics support. Flying from the country, there is no problem in Pakistan. Pakistan will also be equipped with Super-7A, and the logistics system has almost been established. Not to mention Egypt, it has already installed troops…”

Talking about discussions, the most important thing is to discuss things after entering European countries.

Using airports in European countries, the cost is not a little bit low, and maintenance is not so convenient.

At present, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce are not enough for translators. Naturally, there are not so many in the base. Besides, not many technicians at the base understand too many foreign languages. Even if they understand foreign languages, most of them are in Russian. This was learned when the big brother of the Soviet Union assisted China’s industrial infrastructure after the founding of New China.

There are some differences between professional language and ordinary communication language.

But this difference is prone to problems.

Once there is a problem with communication, it will have a greater impact on the itinerary.

“The base has already mobilized ten technicians who understand the relevant languages ​​of our country. For the ten-day itinerary, the first seven days are not a problem, mainly in Pakistan and Egypt. The remaining three days are in Greece and Italy. France… Except for the two Super-7As that participated in the static display, the others used for the flight show will be evacuated at the end of the show…” Yue Lin introduced the entire itinerary.

Officials from various countries have already communicated well. The prices of these fighters participating in the Paris Air Show are expensive even if they only take a one-night rest in various countries and add more fuel.

“The model ammunition was transported by the Y-10. These have also been reported to the countries through which there is no problem. Pakistan needs to evaluate the Super-7A in an all-round way. The air force ordered the F-16 from the United States, and the delivery date appeared. Some questions…” Wang Guilin also introduced his situation, “In addition, Egypt has expressed a strong interest in Super-7B…”

“Egypt wants to super-7B?” Xie Kai asked strangely.

Egypt should be the key target of the United States and Western countries. When Egypt followed the Soviet Union, it guarded the Suez Canal. This made Western countries whose oil and cargo needed to pass through the canal a thorn in their throats.

Several wars broke out for this canal.

In the end, Egypt turned to Western countries.

“The Soviets are not good anymore.” Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai, his eyes revealing meaning.

“This is also normal. If the Soviet Union does not work, and the United States is the dominant one, there is no need to win over anyone. If anyone is blocking their interests, they can pack up with confidence.” Xie Kai sighed.

No one can stop the wheel of history.

Even if he was reborn in the Soviet Union, in 1986, it was impossible to save the Soviet Union, which was too severe due to its industrial development.

Unless the Soviet Union can, like China, have the courage and determination to carry out reform and opening up, reduce the proportion of heavy industry investment, and invest funds in light industry that is related to people’s livelihood.

In this way, it is almost impossible.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The competition between the Soviet Union and the United States has not been eased since World War II. It is almost a deadly competition.

Two superpowers exist at the same time. Everyone wants to be the big brother in this world. Without a victory or defeat, no one can listen to each other.

Moreover, this is also related to national interests.

“If the Soviet Union continues to compete with the United States, we will lose many opportunities.” Wang Guilin said leisurely.

If the Soviet Union is still at its original level, the United States will give all kinds of benefits in order to win over some countries and avoid being wooed by the Soviet Union.

Once it is no longer needed, naturally there is no need to give so many benefits.

Just like now, the Soviet Union is not working anymore, the domestic economy cannot support their various plans, and they are caught in the huge quagmire of the war in Afghanistan. It is almost impossible to attack Pakistan through Afghanistan and obtain access to the Indian Ocean.

If Pakistan is not provided with more advanced fighters, there will be no impact.

“This is not the main reason. The more important thing is that the United States has no money. Almost all the F-16s provided to Pakistan are military aid, and Pakistan does not pay much. The US finances can’t support it.” Xie Kai knows the inside story. .

Up to now, it has been in competition for almost half a century. The two sides have long been unable to support the economy, but no one is willing to give up.

The United States robbed their little brother and printed dollar bills to make up for the deficit in the fiscal deficit. The Soviet Union also robbed their franchise republics to cope with competition with the United States. However, the republics of the Soviet Union are totally unable to compare economically with the numerous brothers in the United States.

The economies of Japan and West Germany rank among the top in the world. A single scalping of wool can support the US military expenditures for several years. The Soviet Union cannot.

“Okay, let’s talk about Pakistan. Their air force originally invested in it. Now we have not been able to get a clear answer due to the engine problem. This time our flight team passed by, and their military senior officials, especially the air force senior officials, will observe… …” Zheng Yucheng is worried about this problem.

Pakistan wants fighters.

At the beginning, people gave 250 million U.S. dollars in research and development funding, but now they have not received a single fighter.

“What’s the situation with our engine?” Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng and them.

The engine joint public relations business has already started.

Xie Kai knows that it is impossible to produce results so quickly, at least know when these problems can be solved and the engine can be developed.

It really doesn’t work, and the turbofan-6 can barely last a few years. The only downside is that the engine life is too short and the maintenance cost is too high.

“It’s just started now, the basic materials and processing are limited. If the material problem is not solved, everything else will be difficult to achieve.” Bai Yanjun looked helpless, “The deeper we go, the more we discover that things are not as simple as we originally thought. We have solved the most basic high-temperature alloys and titanium alloys. The problem will not be too big. But now we need to mass-produce these materials and make them into parts. Various processing equipment and even processing tools have to be re-studied…”

Everyone knows these aspects.

Otherwise, the research of an engine would not cost tens of billions of funds.

Fortunately this time, the military and the Ministry of Industry are helping to share most of the funds. Otherwise, the funds that can be mobilized with 404 will eventually be unable to continue because the capital chain is broken.

“It doesn’t matter. Take your time. These basic technical equipment are not needed for our engine manufacturing. Fighters and missiles are also needed. There are more civilian fields…” Xie Kai comforted them.

He felt that he should not raise such a question.

With Minister Shen Hong in charge of the work, there is nothing else to worry about.

What needs to be considered now is to deal with orders.

Once lost, it is not so easy to get it back.

Customers who can sell Chinese equipment are basically not wealthy customers.

“In Pakistan, we will stay for three days, and there will be an aerial show the next day, and it is likely that a procurement contract will be signed at this time.”

This is what Wang Guilin and others worry about.

The Pakistan contract cannot be delayed.

“The Soviets did not let go, and still did not agree to export engines, mainly because their conditions were too high…” Xie Jianguo saw Xie Kai looking at him, a little embarrassed.

He started negotiations with the Soviets for such a long time, and they talked about friendship and sentiments, and they didn’t want to sell at all.

On the surface, it seems that the Soviets are asking too high and ridiculously high prices, but in fact they just don’t want to sell.

Diplomatic relations between the two countries are being restored, and the Soviets will naturally not fail to do superficial efforts.

“If there is an order, sign the contract of intent first, and the delivery period will be delayed…” Xie Kai suggested, “When in Paris, talk to the Soviets.”

If the Soviet Union disintegrates, all problems will no longer be problems.

But now, there are still two years before the Soviet Union collapsed.

When the Soviet Union just disintegrated, the country was in chaos. The Yeliqing government would take shock therapy to the country’s economy, regardless of everything. Even if an order was placed at that time, it would take a long time to get the engine.

Without the existence of the Soviet Union, even if it inherited most of the big hairs of the industrial system, the domestic production speed is simply not enough compared to the Soviet Union at its peak.

Many factories are even abandoned, and their lives are worse than the many military factories that have no orders after China’s reform and opening up.

At least the Chinese government will support workers and their families who have no business…

The Soviet Union fell, the government was gone…
