Dominate South Asia

Chapter 519: Promoting the Su-27

Once upon a time, the Soviet Union was China's big brother. At that time, this big brother's assistance was very selfless. For example, it gave China a complete industrial system. This also allowed China, which had experienced many wars, to quickly expand after the establishment of a new country. It has completed a necessary condition for industrialization. Without the Soviet Union, China would be like many developing countries. It would take years of accumulation to gradually establish it, and it would never be a complete system.

At the beginning, the Soviet Union's assistance was huge. For example, when the information on the MiG aircraft was given to China, the whole train was pulled over. Soviet experts also came along and taught it step by step, which allowed China to quickly , mastered the manufacture of aircraft.

However, the big brother of the Soviet Union, who selflessly assisted China in the past, eventually turned against China. Both sides gathered heavy troops in the border areas, and there were even major incidents such as the firefight on Zhenbao Island. At that time, China was fully developing its army in order to deal with possible The Soviet Union's rolling armored flood, even the normalization of relations between China and the West, and the current honeymoon period are all thanks to the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union did not turn against China, then China would be considered to be in the Soviet camp, and why should the United States? Come and win over.

But now, the aggressive Soviet Union has gone away. The war in Afghanistan marks that this huge polar bear has begun to become fragile. The collapse of the Berlin Wall further hints at the precarious situation of the Soviet Union. At this time, General Secretary Gorbachev of the Soviet Union made a lot of efforts to reverse the situation in the Soviet Union and reform. Now, he is personally visiting China to end the dispute, face the future, and develop together.

Gorbachev's visit to China has actually been brewing since last year. If this line is completed. He will become the second Soviet leader to visit China after Khrushchev. However, there is another important contradiction between the two sides, which is the Cambodian issue.

The Soviet Union supported Vietnam in invading Cambodia. It invaded Cambodia in 1978. This was also Vietnam's attempt to dominate South Asia. It was opposed by many righteous countries, including China. Vietnam's self-defense counterattack was also closely related to Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia. Now, if the Soviet Union wants to achieve normal relations with China, it must express Cambodia's position. own attitude!

The Soviet Union supports Vietnam. Until now, the Soviet Union still leases Vietnamese ports as its own military ports. It wants the Soviet Union to express its attitude and oppose Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia. It was very difficult, and the two sides conducted five or six rounds of diplomatic consultations. Finally, Gorbachev agreed to issue a statement that Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia was illegal and it should withdraw from Cambodia!

The last conflict between the two sides was eliminated, and Gorbachev's visit could finally begin.

Gorbachev very much hoped to come to China to see the Chinese system. Originally they were all imitating the Soviet Union, but when China implemented reform and opening up, it immediately became full of vitality. In ten years, China has undergone earth-shaking changes.

However, Gorbachev's reforms have always been full of difficulties and various policies have been formulated. It seems that there is no effect. The purpose of his coming to China this time is to learn from the experience. Of course, this cannot be stated clearly.

certainly. In addition to this purpose, on the other hand. It is to sell Soviet weapons to China.

Reform requires funds, and the Soviet Union needs huge capital investment to get out of its current predicament. The Soviet Union's domestic industry has long been dominated by heavy industry, especially military industry.

Therefore, Gorbachev hopes to export some weapons and equipment to China in exchange for much-needed funds.

After the special plane arrived in the Chinese capital, Gorbachev and his party came to the Great Hall.

"Welcome very much, Comrade Gorbachev." Deng Gong said to Gorbachev.

"It's a great honor." The two stretched out their hands and held them together in a historic moment.

A simple etiquette showed the relationship between the two parties. Originally, the Soviets liked to hug each other when they met, even hugging each other. You can see on the propaganda posters that two senior Soviet officials locked lips with each other. It was a feast for the eyes.

But now, the two sides are just shaking hands, which means that the two sides are just shaking hands politely. If it is a hug, it may cause a sensation in the Western world.

Holding hands tightly together, Gorbachev looked at Mr. Deng in front of him. This man was the chief architect of China's reforms!

"Although we have had many misunderstandings in history, we must adopt the attitude of ending the past and opening up the future, become a good-neighborly and friendly country, and normalize our relations." Deng Gong said.

End the past and open up the future! This sentence has a profound meaning. Gorbachev nodded: "Yes, we have to focus on the future. Our two countries are big countries. As long as we are good neighbors and friendly, we can maintain world peace. In order to show our sincerity, we hope We will cooperate with you in many fields, including the military field.”

Military field? Hearing this, the expressions on some people's faces were suddenly startled. You must know that it was because of the joint fleet and the long-wave radio station that the relationship between the two parties dropped to a freezing point.

"We heard that the United States sold you the F-16 fighter jet some time ago. Unfortunately, it is a reduced model, and its air combat capability is not as good as your self-developed fighter jet. As a world power, our Soviet Union also has first-class military aircraft. If you need it, we can export our Su-27 fighter jets to your country. They are exactly the same as the version used by the Soviet Union, except for the enemy identification device." Gorbachev's role soon changed to an arms dealer. Only by bringing more funds to the country can domestic reforms continue.

Not only Su-27, but also T-72, Scud, as long as China wants it, the Soviet Union can sell it, as long as it can be exchanged for money! Or, not for money, in exchange for the food that the Soviet Union needs most!

The Soviets want to sell Su-27? Hearing this, the Chinese Defense Minister on the side breathed a sigh of relief. He was also very familiar with this kind of fighter. This was a fighter that the Soviets had successfully developed in recent years. It was a twin-engine heavy air superiority fighter with a beautiful appearance and first-class performance. However, for some reason, the Soviets began to promote their fighter in the international market. Could it be that they were really short of money?

If it were according to the original history, the Soviet Union would never export this kind of fighter. The Su-27 was equipped in China after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. But now, the performance of the Su-27 has been known to the United States. Since it is no longer confidential, it has been agreed by the top military officials in the Soviet Union to push it to the international market and exchange for foreign exchange. Defense Minister Ogarkov completely counted on the new MiG model for the future of the Soviet Union, and also counted on the export of the Su-27 to bring funds for the development of the MiG aircraft.

At the same time, before coming, they also carefully analyzed that the equipment of the Chinese Air Force is almost all light aircraft. Not to mention that the J-82 is a heavy aircraft, it is at most a medium-sized aircraft, and China has a vast territory and needs heavy air superiority fighters.

Originally, China's equipment sequence is the Soviet system. Now, it should be no problem for Soviet fighters to re-enter the Chinese market.

Of course, China is now in the process of reform and is short of money everywhere, but on the other hand, China is a big agricultural country. The food produced by China can not only meet their own consumption, but also be exported! Although the Soviet Union is also a big country, it has to queue up to buy food.

Therefore, if China uses food in exchange, Gorbachev can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be sufficient food supply in the country, and there will definitely not be so many young people protesting.

In addition to aircraft, there are tanks. The T-72 tank was originally exported by the Soviet Union, and almost all of China's current tanks are improved from the Type 59, which was the Soviet Union's T-54. China is also a traditional continental army country, and it is very eager to update its main battle weapons. Western ones are expensive, but Soviet ones are very cheap!

Hearing the other party's eagerness to sell, Mr. Deng said calmly: "We need to further discuss this matter, especially, we first need to understand the performance of your fighter. If you can provide us with a prototype, it would be the best."

"You can send pilots to our base for test driving." Gorbachev said immediately.

"Finalize one generation, pre-research one generation." Muhammad walked in the factory of the aircraft manufacturing plant, looking at the Tomcat fighter being assembled, and couldn't help but give his own instructions.

Now, Pakistan's self-produced Tomcat fighters are being produced in an orderly manner, with an annual output of about ten. At the same time, Pakistan is also improving these aircraft. The optoelectronic radar has been integrated into the system. The goal of the next stage is to copy the helmet sight and add it to the fire control system. At the same time, the large off-axis combat bomb is also being technically tackled.

Now, Muhammad has made a new instruction to conduct a preliminary research. The chief engineer of Pakistan's fighters and the general manager of the aircraft manufacturing plant were stunned for a moment.

"Based on our current Tomcat fighters, we will make improvements, and the focus is on stealth!" Muhammad said: "The future sky is the world of stealth aircraft. We will start preliminary research now. The shape of the fuselage must be changed. When the aerodynamic performance is not greatly reduced, the radar reflection area will be greatly reduced."

The stealth silent cat is about to appear! Muhammad knows that these technologies cannot be expected from the United States. Even their allies, such as the United Kingdom, were eventually fooled by the United States to participate in the cheating F-35 project. They did not get the technology, but spent all the money.
