Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 878

“Your own engine? Xie Kai, I heard that right? China has advanced engines?” Ibrahim said with an expression on hearing the fantasy.

Harry Mossant also found it incomprehensible, “Xie Kai, if you have advanced engines, how could you introduce engines from the Soviet Union?”

The Iraqis really don’t believe what Xie Kai said.

China has engines.

But they are all turbojet engines, and now all fighters all over the world use turbofan engines, and China’s main model is still backward turbojet engines.

“Turbofan-6, understand. It was originally a project for the J-9. The first performance index of the J-9 was Double-26, and both of you should be clear.” Xie Kai has been mentally prepared for a long time.

If it is not for understanding the situation or experiencing all of this in person, Xie Kai himself also does not believe that China can have aero engines with not bad performance.

“The current Super-7 project is based on the J-9 technology, otherwise it will not be so fast. In the past, we have built a large die forging hydraulic press, the key equipment of my country’s aero engine, and we have put into production a 45,000 tons of key technology. It has been resolved…” Xie Kai explained calmly under the expression of disbelief on the other person’s face, “I hope you can take a moment to visit our engine factory, which is in Rongcheng.”

It depends.

Must see.

This is too shocking.

If China really solves the problem of aero engine manufacturing, wouldn’t it be possible to obtain more advanced technology from China?

Especially fighters.

Iraqis do not believe in Xie Kai, but they will not refuse to visit more core factories of China’s military system.

There are not many aero engine factories in the world.

Not to mention turbofan engines.

Under Wang Guilin’s arrangement, the group soon turned to Dongfeng Power Plant.

Talking about Dongfeng, Jiang Chenyang and the others did not expect that Xie Kai and the others would bring Iraqis here.

Knowing that they are preparing to export turbofan-6 to Iraqis, the people at Dongfeng Power Plant are even more enthusiastic. Dongfeng Li personally took a group of people to visit the entire power plant and introduced the production capacity and research and development capabilities of the factory.

As the chief engineer, Jiang Chenyang introduced the history of China’s aeroengine, the technical strength of the factory, and the results achieved before.

Sun Hong gave a detailed introduction to the development and performance indicators of the turbofan-6.

The Iraqis didn’t believe it, but they saw with their own eyes the turbofan-6 engine that was still undergoing long-running tests in the laboratory, and it was roaring with white flames at its tail, and they believed it.

“The next step for turbofan-6 is to carry out a test run in extreme environments. Originally, this engine was prepared to equip our own model.” Xie Kai visited a complete power plant in Iraq and learned about the production process of Chinese aviation engines. When I saw the finished product, I said, “You already know the theoretical data, and you need to wait until the flight test to understand the actual performance.”

“Thanks, does the engine export technology?” Ibrahim asked, “We only need to assemble technology.”

Xie Kai shook his head.

Iraqis now buy technology for everything they see, and don’t think about whether they can digest it?

“General, it’s not that we are unwilling. We are responsible for you, so we don’t want you to spend the wrong money. The engine technology is sold to you. Your country cannot even complete the production of basic materials without a complete package. The strength is even more lacking. There is no hydraulic press of tens of thousands of tons… Is your country ready to establish a complete aero engine production industry?”

It’s not that Xie Kai doesn’t want to sell.

The Iraqis bought the technology and couldn’t play with it.

It would be impossible to build the entire production system without tens of billions of dollars.

Once established, it is impossible to have so many technical personnel to do it?

Iraq cannot afford that much money now.

“As long as the assembly line ensures that we have the ability to overhaul the engine.” Ibrahim finally explained their true purpose.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Not for the manufacture of engines, but for the overhaul of the engine production line, “Our technicians will be handed over to you to train…”

Xie Kai looked at the other party and wanted to refuse. When I thought that Iraq would be blocked by the international community after the Gulf War, my life was really not very good. Later in the 21st century, the United States started to work on Iraq. All weapons and equipment were from the 1980s. The rest of the Iran-Iraq war is extremely desolate.

“If it’s just an engine overhaul line, there is no problem. This thing requires cash.” Xie Kai pondered it a bit and said.

Ibrahim really didn’t expect Xie Kai to be so easy and agreed.

He just had the mentality to give it a try.

As long as they can get an engine overhaul line, their air force department will control the engine maintenance work, and the right to speak will increase a lot.

The establishment of the Assad-25 factory actually meant that the president wanted to train his own people, and everything relied on the Soviets and the French, which was too much fettered.

China is willing to sell, first undertake major repairs, then slowly build up supporting facilities, gradually build assembly capabilities, cultivate talents, and then engage in its own engine production.

With the fighter production line and engine production capacity, there is no need to buy too many fighters from other countries at that time, and you can also start to improve other backward fighters.

In that way, it can effectively solve the current shortage of funds, and the Soviet Union and Europe and the United States are reluctant to sell fighters.

When the two parties returned to the guest house, Xie Kai reported the situation to Wang Guilin. They had no opinion on the sale of the aircraft engine overhaul line.

Anyway, it belongs to the logistics maintenance service.

“The equipment of a major repair line is not high. You want them to be 280 million US dollars. Is it too much?” For Xie Kai’s offer, Wang Guilin can only be thankful that he will not buy anything from Xie Kai.

Xie Kai looked at Wang Guilin, “Uncle Wang, there are not many technical equipment for overhauling the line, but the experience is valuable. Many fighters in Iraq are not young…”

This price is already a gift of friendship.

Iraqis get overhauled wires and have to pay the Soviets and French hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

“Look at it, I don’t know these things very well,” Wang Guilin said.

Xie Kai nodded, “Iraqis still have good things in their hands. This time they should be able to get some of the technology and materials we need from them. As long as they give us what we want, it won’t be a problem to send them for free over the overhaul line. ”

“What kind of technology do they have?” Wang Guilin was puzzled. “The F-14 wreckage they got and the AIM-54 air-to-air missile that they had on it were all given to us.”

The Iraqis are busy fighting all day long.

What technology can China need?

Xie Kai sold it for a while without explaining.

It made Wang Guilin curious. He knew that Xie Kai was not looking at anything bad. No matter what he thought, he couldn’t understand what Iraqis had that China did not have.

Is it necessary to engage in fighters and come back to do reverse research?

But in Iraq now, advanced fighters are really nothing.

The French Super Banner and Phantom F.1EQ are of little use.

Go directly to the Iraqis, and the Iraqis did not refuse his offer.

An engine overhaul line of 280 million US dollars is not expensive, especially since the Chinese have to teach them how to repair engines.

“Xie Kai, what do you mean? Although your technical staff’s experience and technology are very important, they will also learn more about engine technology in Europe, America and the Soviet Union in the process…I am embarrassed to add additional conditions?” Ibrahim Xinhuo rose.

Xie Kai is getting too much, adding additional conditions at every turn.

It is said that there are no additional conditions, just pure trading?

“General, we also have early warning aircraft and tanker technology. We just hope that more technology will make our technology more perfect. Of course, we can also develop jointly, so that technological breakthroughs can be faster, isn’t it?” Xie Kai smiled , “Cooperation is very beneficial to both of us.”

Thinking of the Assad-25 factory in Iraq, Xie Kai was thinking about acquiring these technologies from Iraq.

The Iraqi people’s other technologies are not so good, but they are still much more advanced than China in the technology of early warning aircraft and the technology of transforming the Il-76 into a tanker.

The main direction of the military modification of the Yunshi is the early warning aircraft and the aerial refueling aircraft. Up to now, the design plan of the early warning aircraft has not been released.

As for the improved design of the aerial tanker, Qin Fei is working on changing the Yun-8, which does not have much effect at all. The aerial nurse does not have much milk and the effect will not be too great.

The Iraqis are relatively successful in these two areas alone, and it is almost enough to get their technology over.

Xie Kai can’t expect to wait until the mid-1990s to cooperate with Israel, but Israel is willing to export technology to China, but the Americans will hinder it.

“What can you provide?” Ibrahim despised Xie Kai, “Xie Kai, you are not authentic like this. We get your technology and pay a great price…”

China does not have refueling machines, nor does it have early warning aircraft technology.

The benefits to China are even greater.

Although, the joining of Chinese technical personnel will make them faster and the Chinese people will get more benefits.

“The engine overhaul line, in addition to the cost of equipment and technicians, is a free gift! Used to exchange your early warning aircraft technology and aerial tanker technology.” Xie Kai also didn’t bother to negotiate with them slowly.

Iraq’s early warning aircraft technology and aerial tanker technology, Xie Kai is determined to win.

“Plus the upgrade technology of Super-7A to replace the turbofan-6.” Ibrahim did not say anything, “If you agree, you can sign the contract now.”

agree.

Must agree.

Anyway, the upgrade technology of Super-7A to replace the turbofan-6 is to sell the turbofan-6, Xie Kai is not prepared to ask for money at all.

The Iraqis are also scared by him, and they need money for everything, otherwise they would not talk about it.

“Then, let’s get ready to sign the contract. But General, how many warships or something should I come to?” Xie Kai was happy when he got what he wanted, and asked Ibrahim jokingly.
