Dominate South Asia

Chapter 618: Caught in the act

The agreement reached with the Soviet Union is very good. A Su-27 fighter jet worth 35 million US dollars is almost the cheapest fighter jet that Bayan can buy, and its performance is still so powerful!

In fact, due to confidentiality requirements, Huang Xiaozong and others have not seen the actual Su-27 until now. However, they are also quite familiar with this fighter. After all, in order to promote this fighter, the Soviets frequently fly in various places. It was unveiled at a major air show, and its various dazzling movements made countless people cheer. The maneuverability of this aircraft can be said to be the best in the world!

Although they have to pay half of the deposit, which is nearly two billion U.S. dollars, Wanwan can agree, so that they can obtain fighter jets as early as possible.

When the people from Wanwan left, the Soviet representatives also looked happy.

"Thirty-five million, our asking price is not high." Simonov said. This advanced fighter jet costs as much as 20 million rubles on our own production line, but it only sells for 35 million, which is a bit low.

"We don't make money by selling fighter jets, but by maintaining them later," Sergey said. "As long as they pay the deposit, they are not allowed to listen to our arrangements."

At this time, Mao Xiong is no longer the kind and honest big brother. There is no way. If the Soviet Union wants to develop, it must seek a breakthrough from NATO's encirclement and interception, and if it wants to carry out domestic reforms, it must rely on powerful military-industrial enterprises to make money. .

The Soviet Union must also follow the path of market economy. The trend of this reform is already obvious.

What we just discussed was just the price of the fighter plane. Once the Wanwan people pay the deposit, they can sell the aircraft to them. However, Wanwan must still have to pay for the missiles and other equipment on it. More importantly, there are also components such as the engine. The engine only has a flight life of 300 hours before it needs to be overhauled. This initial overhaul must be carried out in the Soviet Union. This will make them more profitable.

Thirty-five million? If it were China. Maybe it will be sold at this price. The Bayans have no suitable fighter planes to choose from. The only one that can be sold to them is France. The French asking price is not ordinary.

The Soviets were well prepared. As long as Wanwan took the bait, subsequent profits would follow.

At this time, the Bayans are still immersed in the dream of obtaining a third-generation heavy air superiority fighter. After returning from the Soviet Union, Huang Xiaozong reported the incident to the "President" of Wanwan.

The "President" of Wanwan is also very happy and cannot allocate two billion US dollars for the time being. After scraping together a billion dollars, they paid it to the Soviet Union first.

The Soviet Union's response was also very fast. After receiving the deposit from Wanwan, in addition to accepting Wanwan's pilots as seed instructors, it also began to deliver the first batch of Su-27s in accordance with the agreement.

A large transport aircraft. Appearing in the sky above Qingquangang Air Force Base, the aircraft made a huge roar. When it could be spotted visually, no one could not be shocked by the huge outline of this transport aircraft.

The thick fuselage is not cylindrical like in the past, but has a pear-shaped cross-section. The main wing is a swept-down trans-type top monoplane with a wingspan of more than 70 meters. The cab in front of the cabin looks so small, with a huge cargo hold underneath. In the four nacelles under the wings, four high-thrust turbofan engines with a thrust of more than 200 kilonewtons are hoisted.

This kind of aircraft is the pride of the Soviet people. The world’s second largest An-124 transport aircraft! The world's largest transport aircraft is still a product of the Antonov Design Bureau. The take-off weight of the An-225 aircraft exceeds 600 tons, and six high-thrust engines are hung under the wings. This aircraft is designed to carry the Buran space shuttle.

The second largest An-124 has a take-off weight of more than 400 tons, which is higher than the weight of the American C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft. As for the cargo it can carry, it can also exceed 150 tons.

This An-124 flew directly from Gongqingcheng. Now, the captain skillfully operated this large transport aircraft and landed on the runway of Qingquangang Air Force Base. When the row of tires came into contact with the runway At this time, there was a slight shaking in the fuselage.

The thrust reverser of the engine under the wing was quickly opened, and the large transport aircraft decelerated rapidly. It only rolled for 900 meters before stopping on the runway.

Huang Xiaozong and others, who had been waiting nearby, immediately stepped forward and looked at the stopped transport plane. The huge nose of the front end slowly rose under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, revealing the huge belly. At the same time, behind it, The cargo bay door is also slowly opening.

Although transport aircraft and ordinary passenger aircraft are both large aircraft, their structures are different. The cargo compartment of a military transport aircraft is a complete whole, just like now. From the front, you can see all the way to the back. During combat, the main part of the transport is For combat equipment, you can drive up from the back and drive down directly from the front.

The cargo hold of this transport aircraft is 36 meters long, 6 meters 4 wide, and 4 meters 4 high. It can even directly stuff a light passenger aircraft into its belly.

And now, looking in from the cocked nose here, you can see the Su-27 fighter jet with its wings and tail removed, but still slender!

So fast! Only half a month after the contract was officially signed, the first batch of fighter jets were shipped. It was so refreshing to do business with the Soviets!

Huang Xiaozong was quite happy and walked up to the Soviets who came out of the transport plane.

"Dean Huang, I'm very happy to see you." The Soviets who came down said: "This time we first transported four Su-27s, dismantled the tail fins and wings, and then reassembled them. They are all from our production line. Get the new fighter plane."

If the Il-76 was coming, it could only transport two at a time, but this time it was an An-124. This large transport aircraft can transport four at a time!

"Thank you very much." Huang Xiaozong said: "We will start immediately to assemble these fighters."

The automated loading and unloading system in the An-124 is not bad. The fighters tied to the slide rails have slowly emerged from the inside. Looking at the shape of the fuselage and the chrysanthemums on the tail, Huang Xiaozong was even more happy. This powerful fighter finally appeared in Wanwan!

At this moment, a sharp siren suddenly sounded in the distance, and several police cars drove over from far away.

Who? Huang Xiaozong was stunned. This was Taiwan's air force base! Even the police have absolutely no right to interfere! Moreover, why didn’t the sentry on guard outside stop him?

When these cars approached, Huang Xiaozong saw the number plate of the police car clearly, and his expression suddenly changed. Damn it, people from the CIA!

Once, after Chiang Kai-shek evacuated the mainland, in order to protect Chiang Kai-shek, the United States sent troops to the Gulf. The Seventh Fleet also sailed in the strait, and there were a large number of U.S. military personnel at the air force base in the Gulf. personnel.

However, after the relationship between the United States and China returned to normal, the United States agreed to China's request, recognized the one-China principle, and withdrew its troops from the Gulf. A large number of women in the Gulf had children without fathers in their arms. , American dad is gone.

However, although the troops have nominally withdrawn, it is impossible for the United States to give up control of the Gulf. Therefore, there are still American activities in the Gulf, including the CIA.

Now, these cars are carrying CIA agents, and they can go anywhere on the bay.

How did they know? Someone must have spilled the beans! Huang Xiaozong yelled in his heart that it was not good, but at this time there was no other way. The Americans had caught him right this time.

"Squeak." With the sharp sound of brakes, the American agent came down and shouted to Huang Xiaozong: "Dean Huang, what's going on?"

At this time, the transport plane was unloading and could not take off again. The Soviets very wisely ran back to their plane. Inside the plane, it was considered Soviet territory. If the Americans dared to come up and arrest people, it would be an infringement of Soviet territory. !

The Americans did not do this, but only controlled the senior officials of Wanwan on the ground. Even the commander of the Wanwan Air Force and the commander of Qingquangang Air Force Base who were present were controlled by the CIA.

Huang Xiaozong's face turned pale. What's going on? Do you need to tell me? Just a fighter jet purchased from the Soviet Union!

The Americans learned the intelligence too timely. Not only did they successfully discover the actions of the Bayans, but they also got all the stolen goods! The top management of Wanwan was captured, and all the inside story of this transaction was mastered by the Americans.

When the news spread back to the United States, Bush was immediately furious.

"What does Wanwan want to do? Don't they know that we cannot tolerate such a deal with the Soviets? And China, how could China tolerate the Soviets selling them fighter planes?" Bush's voice sounded in the middle. Echoes in the White House: "Even if they want to purchase arms, they can only buy them from us!"

Looking at the furious Bush Sr., he was really pissed off by Wanwan. However, Bush Sr. seemed to have forgotten that the United States repeatedly rejected Wanwan's request to purchase F-16s. Under such circumstances, Wanwan had to develop its own fighter jets. , but unfortunately it was restricted by the United States and created the nondescript IDF.

"Mr. President, we now know about the deal between the Gulf and the Soviets, and their deal can only be terminated." Secretary of State Baker said: "What we need to consider now is how to deal with this matter. Fundamentally speaking, this is "

"Even if we restrict it, Taiwan cannot purchase Soviet fighter planes! When China protests, the Soviets will not provide subsequent parts supply. Aren't these fighters just a pile of scrap aluminum?" Bush said.

What makes Bush Sr. angry is the betrayal of the Gulf people. Even if they buy fighter jets from France, Bush Sr. will not be angry. However, now they are buying from the Soviet Union and the mortal enemy of the United States. This makes Bush Sr. very angry. At first, If it were not for the support of the United States, the mainland would have fought across the Taiwan Strait and driven Chiang Kai-shek into the sea. Now, they are collaborating with the enemy! This kind of transaction will provide the Soviets with a large amount of funds, and the Soviet Union will be able to continue their so-called reforms!

"Mr. President, now is our opportunity!" At this moment, Brent said: "It is very valuable for our campaign." (To be continued ~^~)
