Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1334

Bai Yanjun’s guess is not groundless. Xie Kai had planned the Soviet AL-31F engine before.

At that time, the Soviets didn’t even show it, and there was no possibility of introduction at all.

In this situation, in order to export the Su-27 fighter, the Soviets would completely agree to bind this high-thrust engine in the fighter export contract.

If they don’t export technology or engines, then cooperation with China will hardly be able to go on, and they will not feel good about it themselves.

“Are you for the tenth project?”

“Not only.”

The conversation between the old and the small makes other people confused.

Why is it related to 611’s No. 10 Project again?

The Soviets have been analyzing the purpose of the Chinese.

It is impossible for a delegation of any country to continue to introduce fighters and technology after knowing the performance defects.

“A lot of Chinese weapons and equipment are imported from our country, and then imitated production. Is this also to introduce technology to enhance their capabilities?” Oleg asked everyone.

His speculation is not without reason, which is why he has always disliked cooperation with China.

Chinese people often steal technology in cooperation and develop their own technology based on this.

In the long run, it will become a very strong competitor of Soviet weapons and equipment exports in the future. As soon as the Iran-Iraq War broke out, Chinese military factories desperately engaged in various Soviet weapons and equipment, went back to imitate production, and waited for the two warring countries to come to purchase.

The Soviet Union invested a huge cost in the research and development of advanced technology. Once the Chinese got the technology and digested it, the cost was almost negligible.

The Soviet Union’s equipment of the same type cannot compete with Chinese products in terms of price.

This is unacceptable to Oleg, the chairman of the Soviet Military Industry Association.

Mishavicowski also nodded and said: “The possibility is very high, but I feel that it is not just as simple as introducing technology and improving it. Chinese people have always used this way of introducing technology internationally. If it is only imported, They will not point out so many technical flaws. There are other purposes.”

“Other purposes?”

No one knows what other purposes the Chinese actually have except Xie Kai.

Simonov looked at the big guys, shook his head and said, “Su-27 is not something they can imitate if they want to. The technology involved is very difficult in our country, and they don’t have a large press of 75,000 tons. There is also no relevant material matching…Unless the Chinese have a stronger technical strength than ours, it will take at least two decades to digest, absorb, and even improve. At that time, this fighter was already behind.”

It’s not that Simonov doesn’t believe in the technical strength of the Chinese. The Su-27 fighter technology is too complicated. Sukhoi has been working on it for 20 years, and there are still many problems that have not been resolved.

What can the Chinese do?

Chervakov, who had not spoken, suddenly said, “I know! Engine! The Chinese want the AL-31F engine.”

As soon as this was said, the others looked at him incomprehensibly, not knowing where his speculation came from.

For the sake of the engine, the Chinese go around such a big circle?

The real good thing about the Su-27 is the two AL-31 engines.

The AL-31F turbofan engine is a large-scale engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 10. There are few engines of the same type in the world. What if the Chinese get such an engine without a fighter project?

Seeing that the big guys were all looking at him, Chervakov explained: “The Chinese people expressed a keen interest in the AL-31F engine during the last contact. At that time, according to our speculation, China might be studying new Fighter aircraft project, and it is the mainstream fighter aircraft in the world…”

After hearing these words, the big guys believed his statement.

So far, the Chinese have not heard of any new fighter projects except for cooperating with the Americans in a peaceful paradigm to improve the J-8II project and further improving their domestic J-7.

This is somewhat incredible. The J-7 is just a copy of the MiG-21, the J-8II is just an improved model of the J-8, and the J-8 is also based on the MiG-21.

No matter what the situation is, every country will not always equip its own air force with backward fighters. It is even more impossible for a large country like China.

They will target the world’s advanced fighters for research and development and develop a new generation of fighters, but the Chinese have done too much confidentiality.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Chervakov looked serious.

The Chinese have always adopted such methods in scientific research, and it is no different from the Soviet Union, just like the Su-27 has maintained a high degree of secrecy for a long time after the deployment of troops.

If the Chinese only want an engine, it is good for cooperation.

They are not even worried that the Chinese will imitate their AL-31 engines.

China’s technical foundation is too poor. At the beginning, it imported a full set of Bass engine technology from the United Kingdom, but it has not been successfully localized until now.

Oleg was a little worried. “The production plant of the MiG-29 fighter plane produces their Super-7 fighter parts and exports the RD-33 engine. Basically, it has been negotiated before that. According to the original Chinese, if the Su-27 Fighters cannot reach cooperation with technology export, and the previously negotiated contracts have to be voided. If they only require the purchase of AL-31 engines, how can they negotiate?”

The other people’s faces were worried.

Alexei Federov, general manager of the MiG fighter manufacturing plant, is more worried.

In the contract negotiated before, the MiG plant has benefited a lot.

Once Su-27 couldn’t agree, they couldn’t even start a job.

Seeing that everyone was considering their own concerns, Mishavski sighed, and at this time he was also considering their own interests.

“If you only provide engines to China, you can’t agree. At present, China’s Super-7 is already moving closer to the combat performance of the MiG-29; once you get the Su-27 engine, you can develop a fighter with performance close to that of the Su-27. This will put a lot of pressure on our fighter export market.”

As the boss of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, he is very worried about this happening.

Once China’s technology is upgraded, Soviet exports will definitely be severely affected.

Engines are a very critical technical issue. At present, only a few countries in the world have the power to design and produce them. At present, the engine is most lacking in China.

Simonov felt that it was impossible for the other party to do it just for the engine. If it was just like this, the Chinese could not do it like this.

“You guys, if China only needs an engine, it can provide it for the operating rate. With their character, it can’t just be an engine. Their real purpose should still want the production technology of the Su-27.”

When the Chinese buy equipment, they always buy back the technology together, and absorb and improve it on the basis of the introduction.

So as to achieve their goal of catching up with the world’s advanced technology.

This is what they call overtaking on a curve.

For all customers purchasing Su-27 fighters, the Soviets prefer the Indians.

Indians don’t seek technology. If they buy technology back, they can’t play with it at all, let alone develop more advanced technology based on the technology bought back.

The Chinese are different. No matter what equipment is introduced, even if they don’t provide technology, they will disassemble the surveying and copying by themselves, and their learning ability is still very scary.

Although in the Warsaw Pact camp, there is no such thing as a technology patent, whoever can imitate it is his ability. Improving national defense capabilities is inherently unscrupulous.

But the Chinese people’s learning ability made the Soviet Union feel scared.

Various advanced technologies are often used to guard against China.

“Gentlemen, instead of guessing like this, it is better to contact the Chinese. They will definitely reveal their purpose and cannot be procrastinated. We don’t have much time to waste on this.” Oleg felt that since we can’t figure out the true intentions of the Chinese. , It is better to negotiate directly.

Previously, Xie Kai talked a lot about the defects of the Su-27 fighter, and finally proposed to introduce the Su-27 and production technology. At least, the purpose of lowering the price is certain.

In this regard, the Soviet Union did suffer.

Unable to quote extremely high prices as originally thought.

At dinner, the two parties sat together again.

This is not a negotiation, but a start to overwhelm the other party’s momentum at the wine table and regain their initiative.

Before the dishes were on the table, the Soviets took out their most common method in negotiations-piles of wine on the table.

Xie Kai looked big.

It doesn’t work if you don’t drink. To negotiate, you have to drink with the Soviets first.

Zhao Zheng looked at Xie Kai, Bai Yanjun and others next to him, and secretly said: “We are working, so drinking is not allowed…”

It wasn’t that drinking was not allowed, he was frightened by the mountain of wine bottles.

Xie Kai directly rolled his eyes to him, and said tactfully: “Vice Minister Zhao, the Soviets always don’t drink and don’t negotiate. Even those in India who don’t drink and eat vegetarian food still have to go to the table before negotiating with the Soviets .”

Bai Yanjun has heard that the Soviets love to drink first in negotiations before, and there is no surprise that the Soviets keep putting alcohol on the table. He has already been psychologically prepared.

Both Wang Chengfeng and Zhao Yujun had their eyes protruding.

The Soviets drank too much, and they drank as much when they talked about things, but there was no such battle.

When Xie Kai looked at the vodka and beer on the table, he felt terrible. The Soviet drunks were still the same, and directly rectified Yolk.

This kind of wine does not taste good, and it is easy to get drunk when mixed.

I can only ask for help looking at Bai Yanjun: “Uncle Bai, I will definitely be their main goal later. If you drink too much later, the negotiation may be inconvenient.”

Bai Yanjun cast him a relieved look, “Don’t worry, there is me.”

Sure enough, the Soviets started drinking Xie Kai’s wine as soon as they got on the table.

Mishawiczvsky and Oleg, two leaders of the Soviet Aviation Industry and Military Industry Committee, went on the table and held big glasses directly to Xie Kai.

The Soviet tycoon came forward, Xie Kai didn’t drink it, and bit the bullet and drank two glasses.

The taste of this beer mixed with vodka is very poor, and it does not have the taste of domestic liquor at all, but it has great stamina.

Just after drinking two glasses, Xie Kai felt a little dizzy.

His drinking capacity is not bad in the country, and it is really incomparable with these Soviets.
