Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1300

“It’s okay.” Xie Kai joked awkwardly. “Old Yi, your math level is getting better and better.”

Ibrahim’s face turned dark.

“Who told you that the Soviets refused to provide engines? Who told you that we are not ready to deliver the goods after receiving the money?”

“In this case, when will our fighters be delivered, and what spare engines do we need?”

Ibrahim asked Xie Kai sharply.

Even though he is no longer responsible for the procurement of weapons and equipment in Iraq, this is the contract he signed with Xie Kai before.

If there is no way to complete the transaction, everything he has will eventually be lost, even if he hides no matter how far, President Oki will never refuse to take care of him just because he is a relative.

Ibrahim knew this, so he approached Xie Kai after learning about the situation, hoping that Xie Kai could solve this problem.

China does not hand over the fighters, and the silly President Omu who has already given the money will even think that this is Ibrahim and the Chinese teaming up to cheat the government!

Xie Kai understands Ibrahim’s situation very well.

Now he can’t help it. The Soviets are busy talking to Western countries.

“Thanks, the Soviets have made it clear to us that they will not provide you with engines… Now, the Soviet Union is stepping up efforts to promote MiG-29 fighters. The president is very angry about this… We signed an agreement and paid in advance. Equipment…”

Whether it was a shameful act between the two parties in private, or because of the personal relationship between the two, Ibrahim couldn’t turn his face with Xie Kai now.

Tell Xie Kai directly that the president also knew about this and was furious.

Xie Kai spread his hands and said, “Old Yi, you know, we didn’t mean it. But don’t worry, we are currently trying to solve it. If it doesn’t work, we will seek to replace the western engine and complete the delivery within the stipulated time. In that way, the performance will even be improved. We will look for a more advanced engine than the RD-33.”

Xie Kai is not to explain to Ibrahim.

I hope I will tell the fool through Ibrahim.

Originally, he wanted to delay the outbreak of the Gulf War, when Iraq was sanctioned by the United Nations.

In that case, 404 has every reason to refuse to deliver. When the United Nations no longer sanctions Iraq, the domestic turbine engine will be ready for use.

Delivery was not too late at that time.

In international equipment transactions, it is very common to postpone delivery for another 10 to 20 years.

Just like the F-16 purchased by Pakistan from the United States, it was purchased in the 1980s and was not delivered until the 21st century.

Ibrahim looked at Xie Kai. Xie Kai didn’t dare to look at his eyes. It was true that he had done a little too much in this regard. At the beginning, he dared to give whatever promises he made for the money. People gave the money, and they even gave the money. I spent it, but couldn’t deliver it when the time came.

“Thanks, you need to explain this to the president. The president’s people should come to you soon.”

Ibrahim reminded Xie Kai, even gloating in his eyes.

“Maybe the president feels tricked by you. On the advice of some people, he will arrange for someone to kill you…”

Xie Kai suddenly scolded this old guy in his heart.

Silly Damu is also a lunatic sometimes, and it’s really troublesome to find someone to kill himself so cruelly.

How many countries want to kill themselves?

With a calm face, he said calmly: “Old Yi, from the current situation, do you think the Soviet Union will refuse to export engines? The MiG-29 behaved so badly. The Soviets are selling to the world. Who else wants to Purchasing? Their economic difficulties are extremely difficult, the fighter planes cannot be sold, and the factories will even stop working and go bankrupt!”

Ibrahim just looked amusing, and said, “What if the Soviets would rather be jade instead of complete? Western countries do not export engines, and countries have no choice. Will there still be things you said?”

“We also have our own engine! The performance of the turbofan-6 is more advanced than that of the RD-33!”

Xie Kai argued.

However, he didn’t believe this.

Ibrahim just looked at him with a smile, his face full of disbelief.

After finally dismissing Ibrahim, Xie Kai let out a long sigh, and a sense of powerlessness came.

Bai Yanjun and others looked at Xie Kai. Their current situation made them not know how to comfort Xie Kai.

Iraq’s 120 Super-7 orders have always been a huge hidden danger. The 404 management committee has discussed it many times and wanted to find a solution.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

So far, turbofan-6, even if the superior agrees to export, it can’t be used-the service life is too short.

It is impossible for any country to use a fighter with an engine life of less than 100 hours.

Such flight costs cannot be afforded by any national air force.

Ibrahim’s words clearly told Xie Kai that Iraq’s orders could no longer be delayed.

“It would be great if history doesn’t change!” Xie Kai sighed alone.

He had no idea that the unchanging of history would cause them such a big confusion.

History has not changed, which is a good thing for China. What was supposed to happen in the spring did not happen. The cooperation and exchanges between China and the West are still going on.

But historical changes have allowed Super-7A to stand out at the Paris Air Show.

While more orders continue to come, previous orders must also be completed.

Xie Kai originally planned that when that happened, the transaction between China and the Americans was interrupted, and the 100 Super-7A delivered to the United States could be directly relied on and not delivered to the United States, so that the delivery of the Iraqi fighter could be completed.

But now, Sino-US relations are still good.

The United States has not terminated the Peace Model Project.

80 Super-7A in Egypt and 100 in the United States, which consumed 180 RD-33 engines.

There are 20 trainers left, and 7 trainers used to train seed officers of the Air Force are delivered to Iraq. Only 13 trainers are left. On the one hand, the country has to conduct pilot training, various flight experiments, and even provide super- 7B prototype manufacturing.

So far, the 404 not only has no redundant engine, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

Unable to solve the engine problem, everything becomes tricky.

It will eventually lead to a decline in the reputation of the entire Chinese equipment export, which will affect the subsequent export problems. This result is unwilling to see.

“Uncle Bai, immediately contact the Soviets. If they are still unwilling to talk, they will think of other ways!” After Ibrahim left, Xie Kai made Bai Yanjun contact the Soviet Union again with a heavy expression.

Although the Soviets did not want to talk to them at all.

The top priority must be to talk to the Soviets again.

If the Soviets are still unwilling to provide generators, there must be a follow-up solution.

Although the domestic turbofan-6 can be used as a substitute, the service life of the turbofan-6 engine can be increased to meet the needs of long-term use. The first overhaul time must exceed 300 hours.

In the short term, it is almost unrealistic.

It will take a lot of time to find suitable spare engines from Western countries and replace them with super-7A.

The replacement of engines with different western technical standards will lead to changes in the design of the entire fighter’s power system, and even the aerodynamic layout needs to be redesigned. After the design is completed, it is verified that it cannot be completed in a short time.

In that case, orders for super-7A will be severely affected.

Bai Yanjun nodded, then turned around and arranged for someone to contact the Soviets.

As long as the Soviets are willing to negotiate, even if more profits are distributed to the Soviets, it is much better than looking at a huge order and not being able to produce a fighter plane.

Super-7A only needs one engine, and many current orders are for Super-7B that is about to fly for the first time.

A Super-7B requires two engines, resulting in a larger gap in the Chinese engine.

At the air show, the problems of the MiG-29 and Su-27 caused a headache for the Soviets.

The original plan was to use the opportunity to sell a large number of advanced Soviet fighters to the world to solve the problem of insufficient factory operating rate and serious government deficit.

But the current situation shows that the original plan is difficult to realize.

Their plan to get a chance to trouble the Westerners was also frustrated because the French threw out all kinds of evidence.

Sukhoi, who had been ordered to wait, finally couldn’t bear it.

While Xie Kai was waiting for a reply from the Soviets, Sukhoi general manager Mikhail Pogosian and business manager Chervakov took the initiative to find Xie Kai and them.

Xie Kai was a little weird when he heard General Manager Sukhoi approaching the door at first.

But soon he understood that Sukhoi couldn’t hold on.

Sukhoi came here, definitely to export Su-27 fighters to China.

The AL-31 engine used by the Su-27 is more advanced than the RD-33 engine used by the MiG, maybe…

The idea of ​​Xie Kai just appeared, but it was dispelled.

Not to mention that the Soviets were unwilling to provide, what if they were willing to provide it?

In the short term, there is no way to solve the problem of lack of engines in the delivery of a large number of Chinese orders.

With the AL-31 engine, the design needs to be modified in the end.

Like the search for engines in Western countries, the aerodynamic layout of the entire fighter jet may change.

In the case of stronger thrust, if you want to fully utilize the engine’s performance, you must modify the aerodynamic layout. The Super-7A design was built on the RD-33 engine from the beginning.

What’s more, the AL-31 engine is used by the J-10. If the Super-7A also uses this engine, the J-10 will eventually be over.

Xie Kai doesn’t want the J-10 to be unable to equip the domestic air force because of their problems.

The goal of Super-7 is export.

J-10, it is used by the domestic air force.

“Thanks, your fighters performed very well, congratulations!” Mikhail looked at Xie Kai with a smile on his face.

Regarding the achievements of the Chinese fighters, even if he is unhappy, there is no way to change it.

“Thank you! We have just started. Compared with Sukhoi, our technology and experience are still far behind, and there is still a long way to go. After all, Super-7A is just a light fighter!”

Xie Kai spoke very seriously.

For the compliment from general manager Sukhoi, he was somewhat generous.

Even if I knew each other before, I felt embarrassed.

Especially the people of Sukhoi did not talk to the person in charge such as Bai Yanjun, but went directly to Xie Kai, which shows that their purpose is extraordinary.

Don’t Sukhoi’s people just want to sell Su-27?
