Chapter 695

“You have to know the details. You should be clear about the combat performance of the 359 tank… originally this was jointly developed by us and Pakistan, and we only agreed to it,” Xie Kai said.

Before talking about selling the 359 tank production line, Mubara was a little anxious.

They were fooled by Xie Kai and gave a threshold fee of 50 million U.S. dollars to use the technology. They finally built the production line. They haven’t produced much yet and have not made a profit. Xie Kai sold the production line again.

How to sell tanks in the future?

Mubara gave a sigh of relief when Xie Kai said this.

When the plane arrived in Chengdu, it was still early.

The reception car arranged by the 132 factory has already parked at the airport.

Zheng Yucheng personally led the team to greet him, and Xie Jianguo also looked at Xie Kai and smiled.

The eyes of the two were bloodshot.

After the introduction, the two sides exchanged greetings and went directly to the 132 factory.

Zheng Yucheng and Xie Jianguo got in their car with Xie Kai. It’s not that they don’t want to have a good relationship with the customer, but they still don’t understand this matter.

On the phone, Xie Kai didn’t make it too obvious, only that the Egyptians wanted to buy fighters.

“How?” Zheng Yucheng asked eagerly, Xie Jianguo also staring at Xie Kai.

“The main thing they want to get is the fighter production line…” Xie Kai introduced the situation, “As long as we agree to sell the production line, the problem of winning is not big.”

“Sell the production line? The above will agree?” Xie Jianguo frowned and asked.

“It is not supported in principle.” Xie Kai said, “After all, this is an international cooperation, a Sino-foreign joint venture.”

Zheng Yucheng understood, “How much do they purchase?”

“Anyway, it’s less than eighty, don’t talk about the production line.” Where does Xie Kai know how much Egyptians purchase?

Anyway, 80 is a hard target.

“If they get a production line of fighter jets, they will become our strong competitors…” Xie Jianguo said worriedly, “If the number is too large, the Soviets will get us in on the engine, and it will be troublesome.”

“Isn’t the power plant imitating the RD-33 engine? Even if Egypt gets a production line, what about it? Think about us, the bass engine production line was introduced from the UK, and it has not been fully produced yet?” Zheng Yucheng is not worried. Your price will not be sold at the price of the J-7? It can be said that the J-7 is half sold and half free.”

In 1980, China signed a military trade contract with Egypt and exported 60 J-7s to Egypt. Twenty J-7s were quickly delivered. Then in 1982, the remaining 40 J-7Bs were delivered in accordance with the technical standards.

That price is completely the price of cabbage.

Of course, it is also gratifying. Prior to this, all the J-7s exported by China were military aid!

Yes, military aid does not charge a penny, even shipping and training fees.

Just to help brother countries improve their national defense capabilities.

Until the reform and opening up, the country continued to reduce military expenditures, and the export of weapons was also based on market principles, and the situation changed.

“Minimum ten million dollars!” Xie Kai said.

“It’s worth selling the production line for US0 million. Anyway, selling to Pakistan is also selling, and selling to Egypt is also selling.” Zheng Yucheng was overjoyed, “Pakistan, they want to give 250 million US dollars to get technology and production lines?



“Although this is annoying, we can’t do too much in the matter. The follow-up twin-engine fighter project must also involve them. If the Air Force does not want it, we will find the market again, it will be troublesome…” Xie Kai explained why he agreed that the Pakistanis would still invest US$250 million to obtain technology and production rights in accordance with the original agreement.

Anyway, Pakistan cannot be stronger than China in its fighter design.

The manufacturing of key core components is in the hands of 404.

“Don’t say anything else, it’s just a big press, and it’s impossible for them to invest in construction.” Xie Kai said. “Furthermore, the follow-up investment will be even greater. With the introduction of US$250 million, our funding pressure will be much reduced.”

Zheng Yucheng was unwilling, but he didn’t object anymore. Anyway, there is more to talk about later.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The convoy set off from the airport until it reached the 132 factory. At this time, the cadres and employees of the 132 factory walked to the office and production workshop one after another.

Huo Haiyuan is now the chief designer of the 404 fighter. Although the 132 factory and the 611 were troubled before, after a long time, they barely accepted it.

In such a situation, the people from Factory 132 and 611 protested by not accepting them.

Knowing the contradiction between the two sides, Zheng Yucheng didn’t say much.

A group of people, directly led by Huo Haiyuan and several other persons in charge, visited the single-engine Super Seven prototype that was being tested.

“…Ultra-7A type, adopts canard wing layout, wing-body fusion technology, large delta wing… It is powered by a Soviet-made RD-33 engine, and the maximum speed can reach Mach 2.35… It has excellent maneuverability. Sex…Can carry 900 kilograms of ammunition…” Huo Haiyuan pointed to the prototype that is undergoing ground roll test and introduced this light fighter jet that incorporates many technologies of the J-9.

In particular, this light fighter uses a quadruple-degree flight control system, and the use of some digital analog systems and larger-scale computers has made the Egyptians overjoyed.

They originally thought that this thing was probably an improved model of the J-7.

When I saw a prototype that could run on the ground and understood the situation, I was so happy, don’t mention it.

“Did they really bring the foreigner to see the fighter?” In the office, Xiong Hongyuan asked Li Wenzheng, who was unhappy, in disbelief.

“Everyone is in the test workshop. What’s the fake? Old Xiong, we have to think of a way. If they do this, our unit will only be able to produce their fighters…” Li Wenzheng said worriedly, “Grab Our people, grab our business, and let us work for free…”

“Director Song, what is there to say?” Xiong Hongyuan was also uncomfortable.

What 404 did is not authentic.

But what else can they do besides watching helplessly?

“I’ve been busy studying the No. 10 project all day, how can I care about these? Besides, the two 404 fighters are responsible for part of the technical verification of the No. 10 project! Director Song hopes they can do it quickly…” Li Wenzheng Complaining.

A lot of people were dug up in 611, but Song Wencong didn’t even speak.

“We should consider this issue from another angle. The more fighters they sell, the more production tasks for us…” said Zhao Kunxi, the deputy director of the factory, when the two were upset.

“If they have more tasks, can they not set up their own production plant? Now they have already set up an engine plant…” Li Wenzheng said.



“Isn’t the engine factory that they couldn’t keep alive before. They didn’t have business. It’s not a simple matter to invest in a fighter jet factory…” Zhao Kunxi shook his head, “They don’t have a production factory. The more orders they sign, Isn’t it the greater the benefits for us? If it weren’t for their orders, we would rely on orders from the domestic air force. How could we be so moisturized.

“Say so, who knows them?” Xiong Hongyuan sighed.

For 404, all cooperative units can be said to love and hate.

Love is because the country does not have too many production tasks. 404, a unit that can always find orders, brings them saturated production tasks.

Hate, because this unit is so disturbing, it digs at every turn.

“We should communicate with them, in case there is another big order this time. Our production line is used to produce super-7A, but it still needs to be upgraded.” Zhao Kunxi knew the two people’s concerns.

But going on like this is not a way.

When the leaders of the 132 factory discussed it, the 611 who also received the news did not respond.

Anyway, they are designing fighters.

The Super Seven Project is not a 611 project, even if it was designed by 611.

When the client sees it, he will naturally communicate with the design team.

“The engine was introduced by the Soviet Union?” The Egyptians did not expect that they thought it was an engine developed by China itself.

“Yes, we signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Soviet Union.” Huo Haiyuan nodded and said.

“Then how do you ensure that we can adequately supply engines when we need them?” Muhanad asked Huo Haiyuan.

Huo Haiyuan was speechless for a while.

Prior to this, they were still worried that the engine in their hands would hit their hands, which put a lot of pressure on the design team.

But with customers, people worry about the insufficient supply of engines.

“Mr. Minister, you are worrying too much.” Xie Kai said with a smile, “Before that, we signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the relevant departments of the Soviet Union. In addition, some of the 200 engines have already arrived.”

“Two hundred?” The Egyptian was shocked.

The Chinese seem to be doing something unreasonable in this matter.

“Yes, as long as the quantity you purchase does not exceed 200, it is not a problem. Of course, after all, our country and Pakistan also have a great demand. This type of fighter can not only undertake combat missions, but the main function is as a trainer. “Xie Kai said.

The Egyptians were tempted.

When I heard Huo Haiyuan’s introduction on some technical aspects, I was already tempted.

“Your fighter has not yet completed its first flight. From its first flight to finalized service, there is still a long way to go…”

“Isn’t your country preparing to introduce a production line? Before that, you can build the production line first. As soon as we complete the test flight work here, your country’s production line will start manufacturing…” Xie Kai grinned.

The Egyptians were happy.

But Mubara’s brows were tightly twisted together.



If the Egyptians had the production capacity, they would definitely sell this fighter as a trainer to the Middle East.

The relationship between the Egyptians and the countries in the Middle East is much better than that between them and the countries in the Middle East.

“Thanks, we disagree with this project!” Mubara reminded Xie Kai. “It’s okay to sell fighters. Selling production lines is not in the scope of cooperation we discussed earlier, right?

He disagrees, and the Egyptians are not happy anymore.

“General, you found us at the beginning and took the initiative to introduce that China’s Super Seven can sell production lines!” Aliaf said to Mubara dissatisfiedly.

“General, let’s talk about this matter. Mr. Minister, we can first discuss our respective conditions, such as the conditions for introducing the production line…” Xie Kai did not expect that Mubara would jump out and make trouble.
